Chapter 145 35: The Man in the Game
[Light]
Heal the pain, eliminate inferiority, soothe the soul, and comfort the deceased.
This is Shirai Kyoko’s ability.
【Counterfeit】
Do not be under the illusion that you are not the Creator.
This is the ability of Hirosue Ryōmiya.
At home, in the bathroom, Hirosue looked at the rubber duck in his hand. It didn't last long. With a pop, the rubber duck turned into a pile of water and splashed away.
She paused to continue testing her abilities, got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Dad? Grandpa, Lord Protector."
She was surprised to find that her grandfather and father, who were usually too busy to touch the floor, were standing respectfully in the living room. Then she quickly realized and looked in the direction they were facing. Sure enough, she saw the Ninth Guardian sitting on the sofa. In front of me, the TV was broadcasting the news of the day.
"Then Lord Protector, we will leave first."
"Yes."
The Ninth Protector waved his hands casually, seeming to be fascinated by the news.
"The Protector came to you specifically." Her father warned her. Although he knew that his daughter had been busy with the Ninth Protector doing some animal research, there had never been any Ninth Protector who came here specifically to do so. things.
"Don't worry." Guangmo knew why the Nine Protectors came.
She also knew that the Nine Guardians were not moody people, but rather similar to her, they were both people who paid great attention to practical interests.
If you can bring him benefits, it’s okay even if you make a joke, but on the contrary
After the two of them left, the Nine Protectors nodded to Hirosue Ryōgiya: " It’s a good harvest.”
Hirosue’s smile was a little forced and bitter, which was rare.
"The price of power is much heavier than I imagined."
She said this from the bottom of her heart.
Nine Guardians nodded thoughtfully: "You are too confident. If you become a participant in the game, everything will be affected by emotions, although you should want to take advantage of such emotions."< br>
"I thought I could do it, just like what I did before, and the same as the later animal experiments. As expected, people are still different from animals. I was too arrogant." Hirosue remembered Shirai's father committed suicide. All information shows that he was indeed a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but perhaps under the stimulation of alcohol, he chose to commit suicide.
The human heart is unpredictable.
Her long-term success gave her the arrogance to think she could manipulate people's hearts.
The facts gave her a loud slap.
Looking at the Nine Guardians, she hesitated to speak.
“Do you want to know what abilities that girl has awakened?” The Ninth Guardian saw her thoughts.
“Yes, but if you think about it carefully, it still can’t be between her and me. There is no follow-up.”
"Moreover, the gain this time is not just my and her abilities. I think the third element of awakening should be self-control."
"Emotions, self-control and death."
"The more elements you experience, the greater the probability of awakening."
Nine Guardians nodded: "Well, self-control has been ignored. You can discover this in one experiment, which is very good."
Shiraishi Hang gradually perfected this idea after the Holy Mountain.
Mutation requires emotions, and it also requires self-control to suppress emotions, just like a pressure cooker.
Under the light, Hirosue Ryōgiya looked out the window at the strong wind that had begun to weaken.
My thoughts drift away with the wind.
Shashi, actually sometimes, I envy you.
Liang Gong, are you really doing all this for your family or for yourself?
Kondo Saki's home.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Kondo looked away from the window and stared at the shogi on the table in a daze.
She remembered an incident that happened with Hirosue Ryōmiya when she first entered middle school.
"Liang Gong, did you lose to him on purpose just now?"
"No, it's normal to lose and win in chess."
"No, it wasn't like that when you played with me."
"Haha. He is the son of the heir to the Inoshita family."
"That's it again, what's the point of playing shogi? These."
".Who knows if the big shot's unintentional words will cause the Hirosue family to disappear. I can't let this happen."
"Then. If powerful people bully you, won’t you fight back?”
".I will try my best to fight back while preserving the family."
The memory was interrupted, the bathroom door was opened, and Shirai walked out wrapped in a bath towel.
"I've finished washing, Kondo-san, you should take a shower quickly. If you don't mind, I haven't filled the water in the bathtub yet." Shirai looked at Kondo worriedly, although the latter had already changed his body. Clothes and hair have also been dried.
"Okay, then you promise me not to run away secretly."
"I promise."
Kondo smiled and walked into the bathroom, and then came out at a terrifying speed that was not like a girl taking a shower. "Is this, so fast?"
"I always take showers very quickly."
"Well, are you hungry? I see you still have some food at home."< br>
“A bit, I seldom cook that side, and there are other dishes in the refrigerator. If you want to cook, you can also cook a bowl for me.”
"What kind of noodles do you want to eat?"
"Just add whatever is in the refrigerator."
Hearing this, Shirai opened the refrigerator curiously, and was immediately overwhelmed by the messy piles inside. He was shocked: "Kondo-san is very manly."
"Haha, just think that you are complimenting me." Kondo laughed loudly and didn't mind at all.
This apartment is her property. She has a bad relationship with her family and usually lives outside. She has money in her card that she has accumulated since childhood and secretly given by her mother. She does not spend much on weekdays, including interest. Can't even use it all.
After a while, the homely sound of a kitchen knife being cut and washed could be heard in the kitchen.
Kondo was fascinated by what he heard.
Her mother is also a traditional woman who likes to work in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she did not learn any cooking skills.
Since she moved out of her home, she hasn’t heard such a sound for a long time.
It felt like she was back in her childhood.
While Kondo was recalling, Shirai had already prepared two bowls of noodles neatly and brought them out.
“It’s so luxurious.” Kondo started to taste it without saying a word.
“It’s delicious!”
Shirai also ate silently, quietly looking at the student Saki Kondo in front of him, who had a huge contrast between before and after he met him.
After eating the noodles, a strange silence fell between the two.
"You won't do stupid things in the future, right? Originally, I wanted to find you last night, but I thought it would be better for you to stay alone for one night, so I went to find you early this morning, but you left the house very early. , Hirosue told me that you went to the Rainbow Bridge.”
Kondo is not very good at beating around the bush, and her straight-talking personality is also the main reason for her current situation.
"No, I understand." Shirai shook his head slightly and stretched out his hand, a light that seemed to calm all sorrow and anger lit up in his palm, "I found that good people in this world are always Most of them silently stick to their own justice, maybe there is no big deal, they only do small things that they can do, but they are very warm."
"I want to help them, this is better. My death is more meaningful."
"I also want to use my actions to tell Hirosue that her path will not work."
Kondo finally understood.
She knew that Hirosue's family was now affiliated with an organization called the Holy Infant Society, which seemed to be highly valued and related to the extraordinary. However, she did not expect that Hirosue actually had a way to make Shirai become extraordinary, as if... The price is heavy.
No, it seems that the price is not heavy for some people. Kondo doesn’t know the system of superpowers and is just guessing.
"I'm afraid you will be targeted by people from the Special Affairs Bureau soon." Kondo is not stupid either. She doesn't believe that no one is keeping an eye on Hirosue Yoshinomiya's affairs.
"Thank you, Kondo-san. From now on, my life will be decided by myself, and I can no longer follow the crowd." Shirai's radiant hand held Kondo's hand.
Suddenly, Kondo felt relieved, and the haze in the unknown corner of his mind melted away like ice and snow.
“I feel so relaxed, as if nothing is difficult in life. What a magical power.” After a while, Kondo Yuyou sighed with emotion.
Shirai handed her a tissue, and Kondo realized that he had shed tears at some point.
Not long after, a convenience store at a certain street corner changed its owner.
For some reason, there were many more guests than before without realizing it.
They all said that the clerk girl had the power to heal people's hearts.
Even the most ordinary butter bread, after passing through the hands of the clerk, seems to have some kind of magic, making people feel relieved and even want to cry.
Although this news did not become a hot search trend on the Internet for some reason, as people around me spread it, it gradually became like an urban legend.
“Go home.”
Hirosue Yoshimiya in the car withdrew his gaze and said to the driver.
"Yes, miss."
The black car slowly disappeared at the next corner.
Kyoko Shirai, who was sorting the shelves, stopped and looked at the street corner, wondering what she was thinking.
The check-in bell rang, and a woman wearing sunglasses walked into the convenience store.
“Hello, Miss Shirai, what do you think of the last proposal?”
"Miss Takashima, I have thought about it. If everything is as you said, I agree."
"Then on behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau, I welcome you to join. By coincidence, there is an extraordinary case right now. I need your help."
"Is it so fast? I don't need to familiarize myself with the procedures or rules first?"
Shirai Kyoko was caught off guard.
“Work is the best familiarity.”
