Lost Narrative Poetry

The whole street has now returned to normal——

Although pedestrians and vehicles were sparse, there was an endless stream, and they basically never stopped. Even when crossing the road, you had to wait for a while before you could cross.

The office buildings or other buildings on both sides were constantly filled with people coming in and out, and there was never a moment of silence... The horns of vehicles, the voices of passers-by, and the noise in the office buildings all seemed like It was like a symphony.

Everything returned to normal, and everything that just happened seemed to be an extremely real dream, as if nothing had happened, so that Hikigaya Hachiman's thinking was completely confused now.

He couldn't figure out whether he had really fallen into an alien realm just now, or whether he was simply hallucinating...

Could it be that it was because the weather was too hot that I suffered from heatstroke unknowingly?

"Am I... dreaming?"

Under the shade of the green trees on the sidewalk not far outside the exhibition hall, Hikigaya Hachiman was kneeling on the ground with his hands on the ground, his whole mind almost collapsed.

The surrounding vehicles or pedestrians passing by would look at him more or less curiously, wondering what was wrong with the boy, but no one would stop to check.

After all, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. If the scene is dripping with blood and looks like a murder scene, then naturally it's a different matter.

But now there is a boy who seems to be kneeling on the ground very frustrated. Many people subconsciously think that it is probably some kind of emotional dispute and not worthy of attention.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't pay attention to the pedestrians and vehicles around him. The sudden return to reality and the noisy movement made him feel chills and chills. His breathing seemed to have stopped completely, as if he was about to suffocate and his heart was about to be crushed. generally. .

Even the scorching summer heat felt on the skin is rapidly declining for no reason, and the senses throughout the body are gradually becoming hazy as if they want to escape from reality.

It was like... he was turning into a stiff corpse.

He failed to do anything, and was not easily knocked down by the existence that looked like a human but was definitely not a human at the same time. Although he didn't consider the possibility of success at all when he pounced, his subconscious mind undoubtedly knew that he couldn't do anything.

Maybe he will be killed casually...

Maybe he will be knocked down easily, and then attract ruthless ridicule...

Or maybe it will attract the attention of that inhuman thing and take Yuigahama away together...

Anyway, there are too many possibilities. The only thing that cannot happen is that Hikigaya Hachiman bravely defeated that existence and rescued Yuigahama Yui. Even if it is just a delusion, it will feel a little too fairy tale.

unrealistic.

Whimsical.

This is not a world where passion is king. No matter how strong his anger or how deep his regret, the established facts will change according to his wishes.

No matter how angry you are, no matter how regretful you are, if you can't win, you can't win, strong is strong, weak is weak, the same cannot be changed, and you still have to face it like this.

However, that inhuman thing didn't give Hikigaya Hachiman any chance at all. He didn't say a word, and he didn't bother to mock and attack him. He just grabbed Yuigahama Yui and tore the space apart and left...

His movements were not hurried, but he was just one step faster than Hikigaya Hachiman——

Even though the latter had already pounced on him faster than his brain, he was strangely unable to catch up. He couldn't even touch the opponent, and he left before he even had time to get close...

In the final analysis, fast and slow, first and last, human beings can only use these concepts to distinguish things that have already happened. In turn, it is unimaginable to manipulate these concepts to make things subvert and change.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know what kind of existence he was facing. He just clenched his molars quietly and tried hard to convince himself that all this was an illusion. It might just be because his brain suddenly short-circuited.

If you calm down and think about it, you should know that what just happened is impossible to happen...

Although I was once a chuunibyou, I longed for the special abilities and incredible settings that appeared in anime comics, video games, and light novels. I thought about my mysterious power in bed alone, and wrote a diary of the divine world every day for three months. A report to the government…

But that was all in the past. Now I have long been out of that special period, and I am not a guy like Zaimuzha who doesn't want to wake up.

That's right! If you think about it this way, you should understand that what just happened is impossible, so you must have hallucinated, so Yuigahama must be fine now and has not encountered any trouble at all...

That’s how it works in theory! There can be no other surprises!

Hikigaya Hachiman's face was pale and extremely ugly, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't control his thoughts at all. He was instinctively trying to deny reality, hoping that everything was just a dream.

but……

but……

"hateful--!!"

The next moment, he punched the ground with a ferocious expression, leaving a dark red mark.

Immediately afterwards, the boy took a deep breath, then stood up, turned around and walked towards the exhibition hall. At the same time, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket... First find Mr. Hiratsuka, and then call the police. This is what he is currently doing. the only idea.

Although it seemed very feeble, he didn't know what Mr. Hiratsuka could do in the face of such a thing, let alone what role the police could play. Whether they would believe such a ridiculous thing was also a question... but Apart from that, is there any other way he can do it?

At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman could only try to grasp the life-saving straw as much as possible. He had to do something to try to save it, which was better than doing nothing.

While walking quickly towards the exhibition hall, the boy quickly operated on his mobile phone, preparing to make a call, but at this moment, a call happened to hit his mobile phone, and the ringtone suddenly rang.

It was an unknown call.

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pressed the answer button. Then he realized that he shouldn't continue to waste time at this time, so he quickly prepared to hang up the phone.

But at this moment, a cold and slightly familiar voice came from the mobile phone: "Hikigaya-san, are Yuigahama-san with you now?"

This voice... seems to be Yukinoshita Yukino's voice?

It took Hikigaya half a second to react. He said subconsciously: "No, no, Yuigahama was just kidnapped by a monster..."

When he said this, he stopped abruptly. This kind of words sounded like something only a crazy person would say, right? How could the other party believe it?

"it is as expected……"

"What?"

"It's nothing. Don't worry. If you want to rescue Yuigahama, go to Moriya Shrine immediately..."

"ah?"

"Forget it, come to the station right away. We'll wait for you first. Anyway, there's nothing wrong..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and made a decision quickly without giving the other party any chance to react. He hung up the phone resolutely.

"..."

"..."

A busy signal came from the other side of the phone. Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth wide and his mind became even more confused. He thought about it in a hazy way, suddenly got excited, turned around and ran towards the station.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly called at this time to ask about Yuigahama Yui’s situation, and then directly believed the bizarre words he said without even asking a question——This It is enough to explain many problems.

But this is not the time to pursue the case, and he doesn't have much time to inquire one by one and make a decision after clarifying it. In that case, the day lily will be cold... He can only rush to the other party as quickly as possible. Said place.

At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman was extremely excited. He felt that he saw the dawn of hope in the darkness and despair!

…

…

The station was not far away, and the entrance and exit were nearby. However, he ran at top speed without slowing down. So when Hikigaya Hachiman arrived at his destination, he was already sweating profusely and his face was red.

Even though he was panting hard, he still looked like he couldn't catch his breath.

"Do you need a break?"

Looking at the dead fish-eyed boy holding his knees and panting in front of him, Yukinoshita Yukino asked calmly.

She wasn't too anxious, because she knew there was no point in being anxious, and she probably got some information from Kato Megumi. Although she didn't know what Xia Ran's situation was now, she felt that it wouldn't be too big. question.

That "magician of the realm" is the ultimate individual formed by the fusion of two people. It has the characteristics of two people at the same time, in various senses - whether it is the displayed ability or the inner personality, they seem to be different. But they have something in common.

Just like a perfect yin and yang fish pattern, consisting of the yin and yang sides respectively, the big round Tai Chi is the magician of that realm, and the character held by "him" can be regarded as the middle line that divides yin and yang.

He is neither biased towards the negative side nor the positive side, but he perfectly takes the middle point to maintain the balance of the two intersecting wills, so "he" is not Xia Ran, or not entirely Xia Ran... but at least not It goes against Xia Ran's bottom line and will.

Because "his" existence is based on the intelligence of the two merged people, this is an undeniable premise.

Of course Yukinoshita didn't know such a specific thing. She just made a simple inference based on the information relayed by Megumi Kato - since that existence would not harm Kato-san, there was no reason to really harm Yuigahama Yui.

Of course, this is something that cannot be absolutely determined, and it may very well be a smoke bomb...

However, people can only infer and believe the more likely situation based on the existing information, instead of denying it on the contrary. Then there is no need to collect information and make inferences.

Just make up your mind and believe whatever you think it is... Anyway, the point is what you think it is, not what the intelligence shows.
