Chapter 776 The Bizarre Adventure of Masato Shichijo, Part 3 (9)
Qian Xiaoyi leaned on the chair, took a sip of the black tea on the table, and waited patiently for the French fries to arrive.
Qian Xiaoyi does not think that he is an old scholar or mentor who is qualified to educate others, but whether it is the Inuyama Heita he met at the beginning or the Masato Shichijo and Iku Terao he met later, because of his appeared, and now they are more or less part of the cognitive faction, so as a pioneer, if they have a problem, Qian Xiaoyi can't just leave it alone.
Each of these three people has their own problems, but coincidentally, these different problems put them in the same situation.
Due to their own reasons, each of them ignored their status in reality and turned to the more illusory and supernatural world. The German Nietzsche once said a famous saying: When you are staring into the abyss , the abyss is also staring at you.
Although this sentence is almost overused, it is still appropriate here.
“In the cognitive theory, being divorced from reality is not a good thing...” Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and murmured: “I hope these guys can successfully find their own [French fries]. ..."
...
"You're going crazy! Stop showing me those things!" The world in front of Terao Yu's eyes was already going crazy. Under the influence of the purple talisman, he He could no longer recognize the words on the shop sign, just like an illiterate person. All the symbols were so unfamiliar to him, but they exuded a familiar meaning.
This sense of déjà vu made him wander around the streets in confusion. He could only find a fast food restaurant selling French fries by looking carefully at each house. Looking at the signboards was already a luxury for him. Those Words kept drilling into his eyes, and he could only try not to look at them.
But the problem is that in human society, words are everywhere!
Moreover, there is more than one fast food restaurant on this street. If he picks one at random, he will probably buy from the wrong place. It would be against the rules to buy them all.
“This is too uncomfortable!” Iku Terao closed his eyes and breathed heavily. The passers-by couldn’t help but stay away from him, otherwise who knows what this lunatic would do.
He now desperately wants to tear off the talisman from his back!
"Hey...think again, think about what to do..." The twisted words made Iku Terao feel retching. He held on to the wall, looked down at the ground, and thought uncomfortably about the solution. method.
Then, he saw a gap on the ground. The gap was like the original text - [一], which made Terao Yu feel a little dull.
Word [1], the simplest Chinese character, only has one stroke, but the instinctive feeling after seeing the word still appeared in his mind.
“This is it!” But Iku Terao was a little happy: “No, I haven’t completely lost the ability to read text, isn’t it possible to do it! This is [一], I know it! In this case If..."
He looked up at the signs.
"Then let's recognize him from the beginning." Terao Yu murmured.
He stopped a person, pointed to a twisted and weird text on the sign and asked: "Excuse me, how to pronounce this Chinese character? What does it mean?"
"Huh? That...should be [wine] Right?”
“That’s it, thank you!” Terao Yu stared at the word, reestablishing the connection between the symbol and cognition in his mind, and the word slowly became familiar in his memory. shape, and he could even smell a faint aroma of wine.
The passers-by muttered "weird" and stayed away from him.
Iku Terao said excitedly: "I understand! Teacher Qian! I understand what to do!"
……
Human beings are very emotional animals.
Sometimes you know you shouldn’t think that way, but you can’t control yourself, such as when you are angry, sad, or desperate. Under the influence of these extreme emotions, people often behave in uncontrollable ways.
Heita Inuyama is in this situation now. The spell with unknown effects inspired the dark emotions in his heart, making him irritable and irritable, just like being in the ghost realm. Like manipulating those sharp black lines that represent despair. No, it’s more than that. Heita Inuyama feels those black lines of despair are about to move under his skin, but because of the existence called [Reality], they cannot get out of Heita Inuyama’s skin and appear in the outside world, so they can only become more and more... The rage was running around in Inuyama Heita's body, interfering with his thinking.
He endured it and continued walking forward, and finally came to the burger restaurant. He only needed to buy a piece of French fries here and then walk back. It was very simple.
But he couldn't do it.
Now he just wanted to smash this burger shop. He looked at the shop with hatred, as if those guys from the Hope Sect had appeared in front of him.
What bullshit chips! What hope teaches! It's all bullshit! Go to hell!
Unreasonable, uncontrollable anger ignited his heart, and the strange looks from passers-by made him even more angry. Those people didn't understand why this young man stood at the door of the burger restaurant and said something. Not sent.
Inuyama Heita's appearance was unusually calm, but inside he was already furious.
"Go to hell!" and "You can't do this, it's wrong!" Two thoughts were fiercely fighting in his mind. He wanted to control his emotions intellectually, but his instinct was not Not giving an inch.
While the two voices were still arguing, Heita Inuyama mechanically walked into the store and ordered a side of French fries.
Because this is his mission, even if he is in pain now, his behavior will tend to achieve the goals he has set.
This hamburger restaurant is not like a chain fast food restaurant outside, but more like a private one. The store is very small, you can see the head at a glance, and there are only two or three people working there.
The attitude of the clerk was also very average, especially after hearing that Inuyama Heita only wanted one order of French fries.
“Your French fries.” The clerk’s attitude was cold.
After Inuyama Heita got the fries, he started to walk back. Suddenly, he stopped because he found that the fries did not seem to be fried enough. He twisted one of the fries and tasted it. The outside is only cooked, but the inside is still half-raw. As a working warrior, Inuyama Heita also worked in a fast food restaurant. He knew what this meant, and the training was completely unqualified.
If it were the original, Inuyama Heita would only comfort himself that maybe the merchant was negligent, maybe it was just an undercooked one, so don’t go back and cause trouble to others.
This situation is very common among Tokyoites. The rule of "don't cause trouble to others" has penetrated into their bones. The result is: they don't want others to cause trouble to them. Therefore, it is rare to see two people quarreling on the streets of Tokyo, because it will "cause trouble for others" and receive strange looks.
The Japanese are very sensitive to this kind of silent exclusion, so at least on the surface, they will behave very gregariously and silently abide by the rules.
"Just go back and do the work." Heita Inuyama thought: "As long as I bring the fries back, the mission will be completed! There is no need to add any extraneous details."
After he walked out of the store, he lowered his head. , looked at the chips lying in the bag, and tasted another one, it was still half raw.
So after being silent for a moment, he walked back to the store and said, "Please give me another order of French fries. These are raw."
"Huh?" The clerk took out some. He picked his ears and asked: "What did you say?"
"Get another one." Inuyama Heita said: "French fries."
"This is a burger shop! How can I buy only fries!" The clerk said impatiently: "Go away, you kid. It will be the same if you change it again!"
Inuyama Heita suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the clerk's collar over, his eyes full of anger, and said, "Didn't you hear me? I said, please change the French fries. ”
Some of the customers in the store were immersed in eating, and some left directly. No one was meddling.
"...I, I understand." The clerk said politely.
