——Damn it, why does Max coffee in Tokyo have to be heated? Heresy! Absolutely heresy!
While Hikigaya Hachiman was roaring in his heart, Yuigahama Yui, who had been secretly (thinking) paying attention to him, immediately reacted.
Seeing him look in a certain direction first, and then immediately put on a stinky face. Yuigahama Yui also curiously looked in the direction that Hikigaya Hachiman had looked at before, but found nothing.
"Xiaoqi, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. By the way, what the hell is Xiaoqi?"
Hearing the nickname that made people want to complain from the girl's mouth, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately turned around and looked at Yuigahama Yui, who was smiling. The latter did not notice the resistance in his tone at all, but was very happy to introduce him to Hikigaya Hachiman.
"I gave you this nickname. How about it? Isn't it cute? By the way, Yukino's nickname is Xiaoxue! You can also call me Xiaoyui..."
"I don't want to!"
"Thank you."
Before Yuigahama Yui finished her words, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino rejected Yuigahama Yui's idea of distributing nicknames in unison.
Ignoring a certain puffy-cheeked dumpling, Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head to look at the iceberg lady who put down her phone.
"Have you finished the call?"
"No."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head in embarrassment.
"They don't believe I'm from the Yukinoshita family. Instead, they think I'm a reporter trying to stir up trouble."
"Is that so."
Hikigaya Hachiman nodded, then grabbed the helmets on the motorcycle and threw them to the two girls.
"In that case, let's go directly to the Zhinao Company to have a look."]
923: Orpheino's Way of Survival (3k)
["Next, let me introduce you to the lovely children. This is Mr. Toda Eiichi, whom I told you about before. From today on, he will be responsible for teaching you Orpheino's way of survival~"
The girl's smile warmed the somewhat quiet atmosphere in the room like the light of dawn. Today, Ms. Zhinao was also conscientiously completing the tasks assigned by the president to her, and enthusiastically introduced their mentor to Chen Shi and Nishimiya Glass who had just arrived.
Under her friendly guidance, the attention of the two Orpheino newcomers naturally fell on Toda Eiichi, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
However, in sharp contrast to Ms. Zhinao's efforts to mobilize the atmosphere, the mentor's expression at this time was not very good. From the perspective of Chen Shi and Nishimiya Glass, he seemed to be a little angry now.
Angry?
Chen Shi was slightly stunned. He didn't know that Toda Eiichi was suddenly called back without any warning. He just thought that the man was unhappy about their lateness.
With his peripheral vision, he glanced at Nishimiya Glass, who was somewhat frightened by Toda Eiichi's momentum and subconsciously hid half of her body behind him. Chen Shi consciously took a step forward and took the responsibility of communicating with the other party, and extended his hand to the stern-faced man.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Toda. Sorry, something went wrong with my car halfway, so I couldn't get here on time."
Noticing that Chen Shi was taking care of herself, Nishimiya Glass, who was hiding behind him, had a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but considering the occasion, she finally lowered her head silently, handing the dominance of the scene to this young man who had been very reliable since they met.
Because of the perspective, Toda Eiichi didn't notice Nishimiya Glass's little move. He looked down at the hand that Chen Shi extended. Contrary to their expectations, he didn't show any overly strong attitude. Instead, he shook hands with Chen Shi in a friendly manner.
"Hello, newcomer. I heard from Ms. Zhinao that you are all protozoa, right?"
"Protozoa?"
Looking at the young man with a smile like a big brother next door, Chen Shi was relieved for a while, and quickly shifted his attention to Toda Eiichi's intriguing words.
"What is that?"
"In short, it is to awaken from a human to an Orphino individual without the help of others after experiencing death."
Having long been prepared for the new reactions of the two, Toda Eiichi immediately showed his professionalism as an Orphino instructor, and patiently explained to them the basic knowledge about Orphino.
At the moment of hearing the word "death", both Chen Shi and Nishimiya Glass subconsciously thought of their own experience not long ago.
Chen Shi was fine. He was still in a vegetative state when he died. He only heard from doctors and nurses later that his heart had stopped beating, so he didn't have much of a sense of reality.
But Nishimiya Glass was different. Toda Eiichi's words made her remember clearly that day when she fell down the stairs while trying to connect a hearing aid, and instantly made her realize what happened to her that day.
The girl bit her teeth lightly, and her five fingers, which were flat on both sides of her body, clenched tightly under the drive of anger. However, in order not to affect the communication between Chen Shi and Toda Eiichi, she did not vent her anger in the end, but silently suppressed it in her heart.
At the same time, Chen Shi also perceived more information from the other party's words.
"Wait, since there is an autonomously awakened Orphino, does that mean that there is also an Orphino born by the hands of others in this world?"
"Of course. Although the protozoa generally possess power beyond that of ordinary Enoch, as a price, their existence is very rare. There may not be even one protozoa among hundreds of thousands of people."
Eiichi Toda didn't hide any thoughts and answered Chen Shi's questions straightforwardly.
"Fortunately, our attacks of Ofei Enoch carry a special power. Humans killed by this power will remain active for a period of time. If we are lucky, the other person can awaken and become a new Ofei Enoch. Facts This is the main method we, Aoife Enoch, use to increase our companions.”]
Pure Love God of War: Sure enough, the people killed by Aoife Enoch will be resurrected for a period of time. They are probably using this process to adapt to the evolution of their bodies. If they can survive it, they can successfully evolve into Aoife Enoch.
Vehicle Killer: What Stand's Arrow (Aoife Enoch Version)?
Entangled Fate Essence: That chance is too small! So many people have died in the plot so far, and I have never seen a case of successful evolution!
UMR: Indeed, the awakening probability of Orpheus Enoch is like this. The probability of awakening of the original body with a lower probability of awakening is probably even lower than the probability of SSR in mobile games.
Silver Wolf: It is recommended to add a guarantee mechanism (chaos).
Respect for Death: Thinking about it this way, two original bodies can actually appear in a small Tokyo at the same time. Chen Shi and Nishimiya Glass feel more CP.
Chaos Evil Gudazi: Suddenly I feel that the race of Ao Fei Enoch is not easy. The race grows so slowly, and two or three of them are killed by Faiz every episode.
Insect Pillar: But they don’t deserve sympathy. These guys seem to have no psychological burden on killing people. They have killed people on the street more than once.
Touzhu: Well, it feels like they have no respect for human life.
EMT: I'm a little worried. Just when Mr. Chen Shi was concentrating on chatting with Toda, Miss Nishimiya Glass seemed to be showing signs of going dark.
Accountant Ishigami: There's nothing you can do about it. What those guys did is a bit out of date.
Filming the death scene: Humph, those guys deserved their death!
Invincible Iron Fist: I feel like this movie doesn’t really look like a human being, whether it’s a human being or a weirdo.
["Kill humans?"
Compared with the audience who have a God's perspective and know everything, those who swear with limited information are obviously not as calm as they are.
Eiichi Toda's flat tone, as if he was telling what he was going to eat tonight, made Chen Shi unable to react for a moment. He looked at him blankly, his confused eyes gradually turning into disbelief.
Eiichi Toda has long been accustomed to such reactions.
As if the timing had been calculated, at this moment, a young man in a suit knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in at Eiichi Toda's signal.
"Um, hello. I'm the one who received the notice to come here for an interview today."
"Well, I know. You are the one I am responsible for, come in."
Toda Eiichi nodded calmly, stood up and walked towards the young man who came for the interview under Chen Shi's increasingly uneasy gaze, while not forgetting to continue talking to him.
"If you just explain it verbally, you may not have a clear understanding, so I just asked someone to arrange for him to come here. I will demonstrate it to you next."
The young man glanced curiously at Chen Shi, who was talking to Eiichi Toda, and then looked away again after thinking that the other person might be the new subordinate that the interviewer was leading.
But when he looked back, there was no interviewer in front of him. Instead, there appeared a man holding a scepter, whose shape always reminded people of those gray-and-white weirdos dressed as bishops in the church.
"!?"
Before the fear in his heart could turn into a scream of horror and escape from the young man's mouth, Offee the Squid had already raised the tip of his scepter as his weapon and sprayed out a ball of ink, covering the opponent's face.
The ink was a gel-like substance with extremely high viscosity, which instantly put the young man into a state of suffocation and allowed Aoife Enoch's energy to be inhaled into his body through his mouth and nose.
Not long after, the young man fell to the ground without making any sound.
After a while, the young man, as Toda Eiichi said, completely staged the entire process from resurrection to darkness in front of the two people.
Looking back at Chen Shi and Nishimiya Glass with livid faces, Toda Eiichi, who had returned to his human form, smiled even more, as if he had just done something very remarkable.
"How? This is Aoife Enoch. We are transcendents whose birth is based on the death of humans. In the near future, we are destined to fight against humans."
As he spoke, he glanced at the white ash on the ground and shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity that this person didn't become one of us. That's it for today. Tomorrow we will go and practice it ourselves."]
Monster Maker: This New Town member, please don't talk about this kind of thing as if you are going for a spring outing and picnic, okay? The illusion of being a friend will be shattered.
Nayako: What? Does your world also have "Oga"?
Tracking EX: I think you are doing something very disrespectful.
I want to be a twintail: You guys, don’t confuse roles with actors!
Magical Mellie: I always feel like I’m being robbed of my lines.
【Watching a living human being turn into a pile of white ash without any resistance in a few breaths, Chen Shi felt the horror of Orphino more clearly than when he did it himself.
He looked at Toda Eiichi, who didn't care about what he did, with shock and anger. The good impression he had just accumulated was gone in an instant.
In the end, Chen Shi said nothing, but silently grabbed the hand of Nishimiya Glass, who was still in a daze, and left here.
Seeing his resistance, Ms. Smart Brain couldn't help but chuckle at Toda Eiichi.
"Oh~ It seems that your actions scared him~"
"It doesn't matter."
Toda Eiichi retracted his gaze from Chen Shi's back, and his voice remained steady without a trace of sadness.
"He will eventually adapt. This is the fate that all Orphinos cannot escape."]
924: Kevin: Your driver's license is revoked
【The first communication with Toda Eiichi ended with the death of an innocent person.
Silently, he took the elevator back to the first floor of the office building of Zhinao Company. When he walked out of the elevator, Chen Shi originally planned to leave this uncomfortable place directly.
But halfway through, he suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was gently pulled by Nishimiya Glass behind him, so he had to turn around and look at the other person's eyes with similar hair color.
In those beautiful eyes, Chen Shi saw the confusion and puzzlement that could not be resolved.
Obviously, Nishimiya Glass had no way to understand Chen Shi's angry departure just now. It was just because of her timid character that she was unable to ask the doubts in her heart at the first time, but subconsciously obeyed the other party's intention to leave together.
After she could no longer see Ms. Zhinao and Toda Eiichi, she finally couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, and obeyed her instinct to get the answer she wanted from Chen Shi.
However, just when she pulled the clothes and looked at Chen Shi's golden eyes, Nishimiya Glass suddenly retreated a little.
Chen Shi's eyes still showed dissatisfaction with Toda Eiichi's previous behavior. Even though he knew that this anger was not directed at him, Nishimiya Glass's courage was exhausted in a very short time, and he fell into a state of hesitancy for a while.
Seeing that the girl seemed to be frightened by him, Chen Shi's originally irritable heart calmed down a little.
After calming down, he couldn't help but start to think about whether his approach was really correct?
Emotionally, he couldn't agree with the approach of Zhinao Company.
Even if he knew that he had become Orphino, Chen Shi always believed that he, Nishimiya Glass, and even Toda Eiichi, who he had just met, were still human beings.
But if he followed their approach, indiscriminately attacked other people who were strangers to him and had no grudges against him, and completely abandoned the bottom line of being a human being, then what was the difference between him and a beast?
Once he started to do this, Chen Shi always felt that he would be farther and farther away from the human beings in his mind.
At the same time, he didn't want Nishimiya Glass, who was younger than him, to become like that.
But rationally, Chen Shi, who had calmed down, suddenly realized how naive this idea was.
Zhinao Company is the leading super consortium in Japan, which can even be described as covering the sky with one hand. If he violates the policy of such an organization and really angers those bigwigs, not only will Chen Shi lose his life, but even Nishimiya Glass who follows him may not have any good results.
Everyone is afraid of death. Even Chen Shi, who is so good-natured, hates death, and hates to let others die because of him.
——Is your own principle really worth letting Nishimiya Glass take risks with you?
Ideals and reality, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Chen Shi unconsciously slowed down his pace to let Nishimiya Glass walk side by side with him. Recalling the scene where the girl was full of worries about the future, but still followed him out of the meeting room without any complaints, he couldn't make up his mind anyway.
"I just... I hope we can continue to live in this world as human beings, Miss Glass."
——In the end, the inner struggle turned into a soft sigh.
Nishimiya Glass said nothing, but silently accompanied Chen Shi as he left the Zhinao Company.
