“Hey! Fushimi, you seem to know something?”

“Well, Deputy Director, can you tell me?”

However, that person still treated Awashima Seri with the same name as before. Although his attitude was a bit cynical, he was very polite.

“I’m no longer your deputy director, and maybe it’s you, Fushimi, who will take over my position.” Awashima Seri just put the last items in a box, and then walked out of the crowd with those things in her arms, just like she was going to get off work normally. She didn’t do anything extra, nor did she make any extra statements, making people feel that she would still be here tomorrow.

“forgive me……”

When Fushimi Saruhiko, who had never been motivated, heard what Awashima Seri said, he just smiled bitterly.

“Now she’s gone, so you can tell me, right?”

But the rest didn’t care about anything else and just wanted to find him for gossip.

Fushimi Saruhiko pondered for a moment, and finally said, “You must have heard the story of our king being chosen by the stone slab, right?”

The others nodded, and then looked towards the office where Reiji Munakata was. But before they could think about it, Fushimi Saruhiko continued, “The director and the deputy director met in that accident, and they also met another person at the same time. You should have heard of that person. He is the one who has been stirring up the storm in the Japanese mysterious side in recent years and even finally reached the top.”

“Wait, you’re not talking about that person, are you?”

Someone in the crowd reacted.

“What happened to that one?”

They had naturally heard about the origins of the three men, and did not think much about what Fushimi Saruhiko said. However, after one of them realized what was going on, the rest of them also started to think in that direction, and were each filled with doubts:

“No way?”

“I heard that he was just a junior high school student at that time!”

“No matter how you look at it, it would be more appropriate for him to be the head of the department!”

“CP fans are enough!”

“Damn! Doesn’t that mean the deputy director was already thinking about ** at that time?”

“Not really? If she thought so then, why did she quit now?”

“Because that person is an adult now?”

The reason was so good and so powerful that the rest of the people remained silent.

And it’s not impossible to find corresponding traces of Awashima Seri’s attitude. For example, every time the boy had a meeting with their head and the colorless king Sakura Manju, Awashima Seri would always sit next to that person and would take the initiative to see him off after the meeting. Although everyone thought that Awashima Seri was just trying to please that person, or that she treated that person as her younger brother, that person was not as proud as he is now at the beginning, but was quite down and out, but soon the situation of strength and weakness was reversed…

But it is surprising that the almost perfect female deputy director who always shows an icy face would choose that person…

Should we say that this is a perfect match, a perfect match? Or should we say that their deputy director had planned this? Or should we say that he was surprised that she would like someone younger than herself?

Although it doesn’t seem to be difficult to understand why a strong woman likes a younger guy.

But it seems that guy can’t be described as a puppy, right?

“But even if you’re in a relationship, you don’t have to quit your job, right? Haven’t we always been working well together before?”

“Maybe he’s afraid of being stuck between the two sides. After all, one side is the number one person under the king, and the other side is his closest person. Moreover, the two sides are not completely integrated, and there are many points of conflict. With a personality like that of the deputy director, he may not be able to accept the guilt of accidentally leaking confidential information at some point, right?”

Although in practical terms, this idea is redundant.

Because if Ling Wuji really wants to know some news, there are very few people in this world who can resist his will. For him, many speculations from the outside world have been exaggerated to a certain extent, but they themselves have not truly recognized the essence of Ling Wuji’s strength, and thought that he was also a person who could directly cleanse the earth’s surface like the God Slayer. Although Ling Wuji is not unable to do it, he has always had a simpler, more direct and purer method, and that method works through the most essential level of human beings, rather than modifying the physical level.

Although Awashima Seri did not want to resign for this reason, she essentially made this decision based on a similar position and way of thinking. Because she really didn’t want to continue to be caught in the middle.

Although from Ling Wuji’s perspective, it was somewhat surprising that Awashima Seri would choose him. After all, she was not like Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern, who had reached a certain level and did not care about worldly opinions. Although Ling Wuji did not think that she liked him that much, it was just a coincidence that the current situation had occurred. And to be honest, the Winter Saint would definitely not think that the future of Japan had anything to do with her. She was not a foreigner with no background like Leticia or Cecilia Orcutt, nor was she a little girl like Arisa of the Shrine and Fujino Asagami.

She is the so-called new-age independent woman.

It’s probably like the kapok tree mentioned in the high school Chinese textbook.

Even if he really wanted to save the world by himself, Ling Wu Ji would not find it strange.

However, she still chose to do so, giving up her career, the lifestyle she had always been accustomed to, and the living environment she had always been familiar with. If she wanted to get close to him, understand him and influence him, the ultimate goal was probably to get him to help her career. But now, she has given up almost everything and chosen to be his vassal. What is the point of this approach?

“Maybe there is no point,” Awashima Seri just said, “Not to mention, if you realize that your life has always been under someone’s shadow, and you can only float in the waves stirred by someone, what is the point of continuing to struggle in such waves? In other words, what is the meaning of closing yourself off and no longer accepting other people’s lives?”

When Ling Wuji heard her say that, he just shook his head and said, “I’m just not interested anymore.”

“Then I can also say that I am more interested in you than in the world right now.”

“sound……”

“Heart-moving?”

“No, it’s just very strange.”

……

Putting aside the mess that happened to Ling Wuji, his interpersonal relationships were a mess anyway, and he was not good at dealing with these things. He usually muddled along in this regard, and there was not enough external hostility to force him to move forward to the next realm, so he was stuck in that realm. Although he found a trick for the so-called “Six Dragons Returning to the Sun”, it was very simple to explain, it was nothing more than “recovering the lost water”. If the world was material, then change the state of that material back to the state of the timeline he wanted to turn, so that the two would be completely consistent…

Although it is quite difficult.

But it’s not that Ling Wuji really can’t do it.

It just looks like it’s of no use.

However, this little trick was actually of no help in raising his realm to that level, so after trying it a few times, Ling Wu Ji was too lazy to continue wasting his time on this aspect.

He just continued to laze around in his leisurely college life.

Or waiting for the things he imagined to become reality.

The prelude to that era is naturally reflected in many trivial aspects.

For example, for Ling Wuji, the so-called mark of the times is the old coin-operated telephones in the movies in the early years of the century. But now, whether it is movies, comics, or novels, there is no trace of such things. The impact of smart devices on this era can be seen in this regard.

For Kirisu Madoka, the so-called mark of the times was that she witnessed her sister dismantling the door of her house with her bare hands, and saw her room that was so shabby that it could be said to be like a garbage dump, which shattered the image of her as the perfect sister in her sister’s heart.

And Kirisu Miharu’s girlhood may have come to an end on this day.

However, after all, it was just a shattered image, and Kirisu Miharu would never deny that she was not her sister, so they finally called a part-time worker to clean the room, and then asked someone to come and repair the door lock.

During the whole process, Kirisu Madoka kept looking at her sister in a trance.

“elder sister?”

After everything came to an end, Kirisu Miharu waved to Kirisu Mafuyu who had been standing there motionless.

No matter how natural Kirisu Madoka is, she is essentially a world history teacher, so she can’t help but have some opinions about the so-called history. When she saw that her sister could easily remove the door of her house, she immediately thought of the transformation of human beings from primitive society to civilized society, and the house also left an indelible impact in this process, because the construction of the house symbolized that human beings began to be able to isolate themselves from the influence of nature.

The function of the door wall is to separate the inside and the outside.

But if what the sister from Scepter 4 said is true, there are many people like Kirisu Miharu, so can the gate and wall really prevent anything?

Kirisu Madoka couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Although she didn’t think her sister could deal with guns with her bare hands like the superpowers in the comics, or even dodge bullets like Neo, the essence of crime lies in impulse and the ability to commit crimes. If a person realizes that he can commit a crime, he may not care about the consequences of the crime.

Just take care of yourself now and have fun first.

So when Kirisu Madoka realized this problem, she began to feel scared.

She has always been confident about her appearance.

And if she happened to meet someone with abilities like Kirisu Miharu, she would probably not be able to put up any decent resistance.

So that night she asked Kirisu Miharu to stay with her, secretly wanting her sister to calm her mind, but the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, even like a frightened bird. She even took several days off in a row. Everyone she saw looked like those people like Kirisu Miharu. She felt like walking outside was like walking in a dark forest, and everyone seemed to be holding a shotgun, ready to aim at her at any time.

Then murder her.

Take away her dignity, honor, and life.

Her request for leave also alarmed many people.

Among them was her colleague Shizuka Hiratsuka, with whom she had never had a good relationship.

Although the two of them are not actually working in the same school now, Shizuka Hiratsuka was very kind and went to visit her with gifts after hearing about her recent situation. A few days later, Kirisu Mafuyu returned to her old ways and turned the room into a garbage dump again. She originally didn’t want to let Shizuka Hiratsuka in and show weakness to that person, but in the stalemate, she felt the aura on Shizuka Hiratsuka that was almost exactly the same as that of Kirisu Miharu, and she was immediately frightened, so she let go of her hand, and the room was exposed to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was just stunned for a moment, then she cleaned up the takeout boxes on the table in her living room as if nothing had happened, and greeted Kirisu Mafuyu in a familiar manner.

“You… don’t find it strange?”

Kirisu Madoka asked hesitantly.

“There’s really nothing to ask. Most single people are pretty much the same.”

The implication is that Shizuka Hiratsuka herself is in the same situation.

She even took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and said to Kirisu Mafuyu, who was wearing a sports suit as underwear, “Do you mind?”

“To the balcony!”

Kirisu Madoka just covered her nose and spoke in a muffled voice.

Then Shizuka Hiratsuka really ran to the balcony to smoke.

When she came back, she saw that her former colleague had only taken out canned fruit to treat them. She immediately burst into laughter and said, “I heard that you seem to be sick recently?”

Kirisu Madoka instinctively wanted to refute, but in the end she nodded silently and said, “If I really have to say it, it should be that there is something wrong with me.”

“why?”

“Because my life experience of more than 20 years has taught me that this world is actually very safe. But a few days ago, someone told me that this world is not as safe as I imagined. It’s like everyone has a gun in their hands, but I walk among them with nothing in my hands.”

“Are you suffering from paranoia?”

“My intuition tells me that you are also the one with the gun.”

Kirisu Madoka stared at the Japanese teacher who still had a cigarette holder in his mouth and said.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was silent for a moment, then continued, “So you feel like you are a little white rabbit walking among a bunch of big bad wolves? You don’t know when you will be eaten?”

Kirisu Madoka didn’t want to admit this rhetoric.

But in theory, this rhetoric is not wrong.

even……

“You can even say that even if you hide here, you will still feel uneasy, because rabbits can dig holes in the ground to avoid being hunted by wolves, but hiding here will not give you any sense of security. It can only help you reduce the number of people watching you. Even if one of those colleagues who pays attention to you is a wolf who really has bad intentions towards you, you will die without a burial place?”

Although Kirisu Madoka’s face was as frosty as if nothing could scare her, she couldn’t help but nod at this moment.

“What a sin!”

Hiratsuka Shizuka just sighed for no reason.

“Hiratsuka-sensei?”

Kirisu Madoka thought she was mocking her, but she didn’t know why she was being mocked like that. Was she talking about Ogata Rizu and Furuno Fumino?
