When Kasumigaoka Shiyu heard Ling Wuji's description, she couldn't help but imagine it in her mind, and then she got goose bumps all over her body, and said, "I think you are just disgusting me, Junior Brother."
Before Ling Wuji could say anything, he heard her say, "So you want to compensate me?"
"for example?"
"For example, treat me to that!"
In front of her slender fingers was the place where cotton candy was sold.
"I think with the income of a famous writer, she shouldn't need to be treated to meals by others."
Ling Wuji just complained instinctively.
"But I heard that international students usually come from wealthy families, especially underage international students like you..." Seeing that he didn't want to move his feet at all, Kasumigaoka Shiina pulled him over and said as they walked, "Or is it that international students are actually the kind of stingy people who feel bad even if you treat your senior to cotton candy?"
“It’s a stereotype that all international students are rich.”
"So you're the exception?"
It is better to say that those who possess mysterious abilities and can still maintain the style of "a gentleman is steadfast in poverty" are exceptions among exceptions.
Not to mention that Ling Wu Ji also has the miraculous medical skill "The Art of the Pot".
Ling Wuji finally paid the money, but when the girl handed him another piece of cotton candy, he shook his head. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha still did not take it back, so the two of them were in a stalemate. Ling Wuji also felt it was troublesome, so he put his hands behind his head and said, "I want to go back."
"I see. It looks like you're the type who won't hesitate to trample on a girl's heart."
Behind him he could hear the girl mumbling to herself, deliberately controlling the volume so that he could hear her.
However, Ling Wu Ji did not stop.
So in the end, the girl pulled his sleeve and said, "No matter what, at least you have to watch the fireworks with me."
"I have no interest in it."
Ling Wuji finally turned around and looked at the girl in yukata in front of him. For a moment, that question lingered in his mind: How did she recognize him?
But until the end, he did not ask this question.
Maybe it was just pure coincidence?
The fireworks flashing in the night sky illuminated the boy's pupils.
But if there really is someone in the world who can see his true nature through illusory appearances, then maybe this world is not as hopeless as he imagined. Maybe even if he discards appearances and abilities, there may still be someone who can identify with himself apart from that, with his terrible personality?
Although this kind of thing doesn't seem to be considered as evidence at all.

Of course, in reality, Ling Wuji can change his personality.
And making this change is much easier than you might think.
Because he has the "Tiandun Sword Technique".
To be honest, the level of cheating of Tiandun Sword Technique is no less than that of the "Catalogue of Forbidden Taoist Techniques" system itself. As long as Ling Wuji is determined to "correct" his state of mind with Tiandun Sword Technique, he can definitely break through to the Golden Core level within three years. He can also hope to get a glimpse of the realm of real people in his lifetime, and even break through to the legendary immortal. It is not completely unimaginable to ascend to heaven on the spot like the legendary Lu Zu.
The problem is that Ling Wuji is actually afraid of the "correction" made in this way.
Is the "corrected" "self" his true "self"? Or is it just a product of his pursuit of an ideal result? Is the mood of the product of this intermediate process when it reaches the result consistent with the mood of the "self" who originally wanted to achieve this result?
Although Ling Wuji had learned in his Marxism class in college in his previous life that movement is the inherent attribute and way of existence of things.
One cannot step into the same river twice.
Moreover, Ling Wuji did not feel that he wanted a certain result so badly that he could not stop at taking action.
In other words, his trouble is that he cannot get the result he wants from the realistic weighing.
In fact, according to common sense, this kind of worry can be cut off with the "Tiandun Sword Technique", which is the so-called "three-cut worries". But sometimes, Ling Wu Ji would think, if he really used the Tiandun Sword Technique to completely cut off all his messy thoughts, even his original goals and even the idea of seeking immortality, what would be left?
Is it the Hun Dun who died after his seven orifices were drilled open in Zhuangzi's fable?
Or is it Adam who was in the Garden of Eden before he ate the forbidden fruit?
Ling Wuji seemed to have grasped something:
wrong.
If a monk wants to reach the realm of a true person, he must have a firm enough self and sufficient fuel. However, the chaos mentioned by Zhuangzi should refer to a certain complete state, just like what is said in "The Great Master": "It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other in times of need; it is better to forget each other and transform into the Tao than to praise Yao and criticize Jie." The "prototype of man" pursued by Araya Soren or Aozaki Touko should also refer to Adam who was still in the Garden of Eden in a sense. Why is there such a strange contradiction between the two, or is it...
Is that... the realm of heaven?
“Heaven and earth were born with me, and all things are one with me”?
……
Although Sakuramitsu Shu didn't know how Tsuchiya Gai did it, he eventually returned to school, erased all his criminal records, and continued his student life.
But it’s summer vacation now.
After learning that the Stone of Origin was delivered by Ling Wuzhi to the God Slayer in North America for safekeeping, Tsuchiya Yamaguchi seemed to have lost his goal for a while, but soon he cheered up again -
Although Sakuramitsu Shuu couldn't figure out whether his recovery was a good thing or a bad thing for Japan at the moment.
But he finally got a moment of peace.
But soon, this peace was broken by Ling Wuji's arrival.
Moreover, he realized that at this moment, the boy in the dusk exuded a tragic atmosphere of fighting in a battle. Although it sounded mysterious, and the handsome and slender boy was spotless, Sakuraman Shu could conclude that he must have done something earth-shattering and attracted a lot of people -
"Nothing, just taking the spiritual energy of the earth veins in your area into my hands."
Ying Manji didn't quite understand what was said, but he said to Ling Wuji nervously, "Ling classmate, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"
"It may be okay, or it may not be. I'm not sure yet. But speaking of which, have you ever seen Gundam, Ji?"
"Well, I haven't seen much of the UC department..."
"So, what about EVA?"
Sakuraman Shu nodded.
"Do you think that humans can achieve what was described in those works of the last century, breaking through each other's isolated islands and connecting with others as a whole? Or do you think that human evolution is as individuals, like in the Bible when Yahweh did not change the world's accents, building the Tower of Babel and challenging God's authority, like the Protoss in StarCraft 2 whose wills were connected by Kara, or will it eventually become a whole, like in EVA, where Eve was made from the rib of Adam's chest and finally put back?"
Why is it that every time I see him he always talks about such weird topics?
Sakuraman Shu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"I... don't quite understand..."
He thought about it for a long time, but finally shook his head and asked again:
"What do you think, classmate?"
"Me?" Ling Wuji shook his head. "Although there is probably a so-called 'Alaya' in this world, which is the unconsciousness of the human race as a whole, no matter how you think about it, individuals cannot escape from the human group. However, probably because I am a loner by nature, I still like to look at things from an individual perspective."
"Oh."
Ying Manshu responded.
Then an unsustainable silence fell between the two.
Sakuraman Ji was feeling very embarrassed, but he didn't understand why Ling Wuji would choose to have an awkward chat with him at this time. But he didn't want to ask. He vaguely felt that Ling Wuji was doing something very important, and the tragic aura lingering around him at the moment was exactly for this reason. Since it had come to this point, there was no reason to stop.
Although he himself may play an important role in this.
But Ling Wuji himself said that there’s a chance that everything might be fine.
So he must be waiting for something.
But soon, the answer was revealed.
A young man in a white coat with thick eyebrows walked out of a black hole that looked like a space tunnel. Seeing Ling Wuji and Ying Manshu standing together, he just raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you want to replace Ying Manshu? Or do you think you have found a way to deal with me?"
Ling Wuji did not directly answer his question, but just said softly: "I have been wondering, what kind of 'angel' are you in this world? Are you just 'Gabriel'? Or are you mixed with the elements of the Serpent of Eden? Or, are you the famous fallen angel, Lucifer?"
"I should have told you long ago that the title of human is just a constraint for people like us. Well, stop talking nonsense. Let me see what you have prepared to deal with me!"
Volume 4: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter : Epilogue ()
"But what I find strange is," Ling Wuji remained unmoved and continued to talk to himself, "Before Adam ate the fruit of wisdom from the 'Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil' - also known as the forbidden fruit - he should have been considered one of your kind, right? But why is it that the imperfect humans who have original sin or shortcomings after taking the forbidden fruit are chosen by this planet?"
“This planet doesn’t need perfect species.”
Dart just looked at him and said.
"Yes, this planet does not need perfect species. It only needs weak species with a certain level of intelligence. Because of their weakness, humans have to rely on this planet. Because of their intelligence, they understand the importance of order. However, human intelligence or wisdom has developed at an almost uncontrollable speed in the past few hundred years, so much so that Gaia feels threatened. That's why you, or the Apocalypse Virus, appeared, right?"
Dart tilted his head and said:
"Although I don't mind analyzing the current situation with people like you, it seems that this is of no help to you, right? The cruelest thing about reality is that seeing it clearly will only make people more desperate."
“But if you don’t see reality clearly, how can you change it?”
"So what conclusions did you come to about transforming reality?"
"Nature is 'Alaya'."
"But the problem is..."
"But the thing is, you are also Alaya's creation to some extent, right?"
Dart just smiled and said, "The term 'creation' is not quite true. I am at most a derivative."
"I know someone," Ling Wuji started a new topic and said, "Her family has been committed to creating 'omnipotent people' since ancient times, and has continuously transformed their descendants. Her body was originally 'blank'. Normally, she was a stillborn fetus, but the people of the Liangyi family filled that empty shell with intelligence. In this way, that empty shell can think, and thus her current personality was derived."
"You mean..."
Dart's expression suddenly became serious.
He knew very well what Ling Wu Ji meant by both his words and his implication.
A person whose origin is "blank" means that person can connect to the "root", so that person becomes the "all-powerful person" in the boy's mouth!
Ling Wuji shook his head: "No, even if I have a way to complete that process, I will not choose to do so. I am not noble enough to achieve this goal by destroying my own personality. But by chance, I once cured a person's legs, and that person's 'void' happened to be the mechanical prosthesis that she longed for, which allowed her to move freely. Dart, you should know what the essence of 'void' is, right?"
Dart realized what the boy wanted to do, but at the same time, the movement of the majestic earth veins and spiritual energy under the ground was already tending to concentrate, and he had no way to stop the process, so he said:
"It is the object of human worry, fear and desire. At the same time, it is also an organ used for human evolution and the center of the mutual transformation between 'body' and 'soul'. Her previous desire has subsided because you healed her legs, and her new desire is constantly rising. As one increases and the other decreases, her 'void' will turn into 'chaos'."
Ling Wuji snapped his fingers, then walked towards Ying Manshu and reached out to grab his forehead:
"But at this time, her 'void' has turned into 'chaos', so it is not easy to be disturbed by external will, so..."
Sakuraman Shu suddenly screamed.
"I'm sorry, Ji-san. It's urgent. If there's time, I don't mind being gentler, but for now, you better bear with it."
