“I should have made this decision earlier.”

Ling Wu Ji just said.

Aozaki Touko looked at him carefully for a moment, then said, "So you actually want her to stay away from scumbags like you?"

"Why do you say that?"

“Have you ever heard of sunk costs?”

"It's like the mentality of spending too much money on a pay-to-win mobile game and not wanting to give up the account even if the game is no longer interesting to the owner?"

"If you don't think it's offensive to treat Fujino's feelings for you as her feelings for Shouyou." Aozaki Touko nodded and said.

"In fact, I think that a person's feelings for mobile games are much more sincere than those for a person in real life. After all, I think most people in real life cannot maintain a relationship for four or five years, but some people can be obsessed with a game for four or five years. Even if the economic sunk cost restricts their choice, and they occasionally uninstall it for a while due to operational reasons, they will eventually download it again."

"I think your perspective is actually quite twisted."

"Why do you say that?"

Aozaki Touko lit up another cigarette and said, "You think a person's feelings for a mobile game are more sincere than their feelings for a person in real life, but what if their 'love' is only equally shared among some of the characters?"

"But isn't that the reality? When you fall in love with someone, you must expect that you can get some expected or unexpected happiness from that person, and this happiness comes from part of that person, not because there is not a single thing you dislike about that person as a whole."

"For example?"

"What, for example?" Ling Wuji frowned, then seemed to think of something and said, "For example, an honest person."

"What honest man?"

Aozaki Touko felt that one of her and Ling Wuji must be abnormal.

"I mean, some girls will never choose so-called honest men at first. It's not because they really hate honest men, but it's hard for them to get their happiness from them, right? And until they have been hurt, or the reality does not allow them to continue to get happiness from the type of people they originally liked, they will think that those so-called honest men are also acceptable choices."

Aozaki Touko couldn't help but smile bitterly, so she kept puffing out smoke. Wuji didn't like secondhand smoke in the first place, and since he was indoors with her, he had no choice but to walk to the window and wave his hand to invite a breeze. Then he heard the woman who looked to be in her late twenties say, "So you compare yourself to those women?"

"In a sense, I think it's quite right. After all, both of them are scumbags."

At this time, the woman in kimono who had been sitting on the side said coldly.

"But, Shiki, don't you think what he said is quite interesting?"

The girl who looked like a high school student just glanced coldly at the boy standing by the window and said, "That's not interesting. If you ignore some of the overly negative things, in a sense, that's reality."

"Then why do you think his words are negative?"

"I guess that's because my words rationalized the psychology of those women?" Ling Wuji said, "It also rationalized the psychology of some men, so they just accepted this concept and reality instead of criticizing them. It's just that I always felt that you, Liangyi, were the kind of person who didn't care about worldly moral concepts at all."

Ryougi Shiki nodded, but looked directly at the boy with her sky-blue eyes and said, "But you don't think this is the right thing to do, right?"

Ling Wuji sighed: "So what?"

"You feel that you should make a more careful choice, but you also feel that continuing to delay will only make Asagami's current situation worse, so you force yourself and force her to take this step forward. However, if you think that she will distance herself from you or even hate you, you may not achieve your goal."

Ryougi Shiki just said it coldly.

Ling Wuji felt that she seemed to have seen through something.

He also heard a rumor.

Before she understood the concept of "death", Ryougi Shiki's "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" was essentially the so-called "Pure Eyes", which could do things like his "Human Sound". No, perhaps it could see through people's thoughts at a deeper level. In that kind of vision, people's thoughts are like looking at smoke, so she can see a person's essence more intuitively.

"So do you think Qianshang will accept this situation?"

At this time, Aozaki Touko interrupted: "Then why do you think she won't accept the status quo?"

Yeah, why?

Ling Wu Ji said in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the relationship between him and Asagami Fujino was too abnormal.

"deformity?"

"According to what I said before, the reason why she fell in love with me was that I cured her 'painlessness', so that means she only liked 'me' who did this thing," Ling Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Of course, maybe she wouldn't like anyone else who did that thing, but she liked me like that, it must be because she got more happiness than she expected from my healing, right? And she just naively thought that she could only get that from me, and that I changed her fate..."

"Is not it?"

Aozaki Orange interrupted him and said.

She knew about Asagami Fujino's story, and was also very clear about the changes that Ling Wuji had made to her life trajectory. If it weren't for Ling Wuji, then under the control of Araya Soren, it would be hard to say what fate Asagami Fujino would have had after being placed on the altar of awakening Ryougi Shiki's other personality.

"But I have investigated and found that Asagami's 'painlessness' was actually deliberately caused by her family. In other words, she only needs to stop taking some of the medication to regain her sense of pain, not just through my treatment, not to mention..."

Aozaki Touko sighed at this time and said, "Now I think it's better for Fujino to stay away from you."

"Why? I mean, did you support her being with me before?"

This made Wu Ji quite curious.

"I'm not a normal person. I'm just a magician. Everything a magician does is to pursue the root as the ultimate goal, and secondly to leave a copy of themselves so that their copies can follow the same path as themselves. The so-called disciples are actually chosen by magicians based on this idea," Aozaki Touko smiled freely and said, "Of course, I didn't choose Asakami because I wanted to make her my copy. It's just that my moral values ​​are indeed different from others."

"so?"

"So I don't think it's a big deal for someone like you to have multiple relationships."

Ling Wuji touched his chin and said, "It sounds like magicians are quite accepting of being scumbags..."

"You would think that magicians are quite accepting of being scumbags, essentially because they are scumbags. How does the saying go? If we shoot all magicians one by one, we might kill innocent people by mistake, but if we shoot every other one, there will definitely be some that slip through the net." Aozaki Touko knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression. Although she thought he was just thinking about it, she still made it clear about the nature of magicians. "They will do all kinds of things that are completely against human nature in order to reach the root. As long as they think it is reasonable, even if it is incest between siblings and giving birth to those sick babies, they will continue to produce offspring for the sake of the offspring who can inherit their qualifications."

When Ling Wuji heard this, he lost interest and continued with the original topic: "But if your moral values ​​are different from those of ordinary people..."

"In a sense, I was hoping that you and Fujino would have offspring."

"As a replica of me and her?"

Ling Wuji immediately frowned and said.

Aozaki Touko nodded and said, "Don't you think that if your offspring inherits her magic eyes and your qualifications, it will create a very interesting person?"

"But I have no intention of leaving any offspring."

"I used to think that my hatred for my sister and grandfather would put me on the path of revenge for the rest of my life. If I didn't take revenge on them, I would never feel at ease. But now, am I not the same?" Aozaki Touko just sighed and said, "You are only fifteen years old. Don't make conclusions about your future life rashly, and don't speculate about your future self rashly. Maybe after you and Fujino have lived together for a few years or even a dozen years, you will be shaken by her. Even if the chance of you leaving offspring is slim, are you willing to keep trying to fulfill her wish?"

Ling Wuji thought about it and did not refute this statement. He just said: "Don't you think it's a bit too much to say such words to a minor?"

"What's too much?" Aozaki Touko thought about it carefully, and then said, "Are you talking about the topic of future generations? But you must have done it with the eldest daughter of the Gongfuyuan family a long time ago, right? If you have done it, why are you still taboo about this topic?"

"got used to."

Ling Wuji also reacted, probably because he always felt that there was a boundary between adulthood and minors, but he had already crossed that boundary.

PS: It was almost 4: when I woke up. I didn’t expect that I could finish typing K words under such circumstances... I didn’t have time to divide it into chapters.

Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 51: Future Vision

In fact, rationally speaking, Ling Wuji is definitely not an interesting or even qualified boyfriend candidate.

He is too rational. This rationality allows him to maintain a detached attitude at all times, allowing him to accurately measure his relationship with others. In his opinion, the intimate relationship with a partner is not a source of happiness or joy, but rather a burden. He even feels that this kind of relationship will allow others to invade his private space, and this invasion will make him feel particularly uneasy.

He felt he had too many secrets.

No matter who he is, he has no way of confessing everything about himself.

So fundamentally, he was not willing to establish a closer relationship with others. Even though the relationship between him and Arisa of the Shrine was like that, the relationship between him and her was essentially that of a superior and a subordinate.

After all, he has complete control over Arisa of the Shrine's body and mind.

Perhaps from this perspective, he really wanted to push Asagami Fujino away.

After all, in his opinion, Asagami Fujino and he were equals, and once this equal relationship established a closer connection, I'm afraid it might not really end well, right? However, in this matter, he felt that he had to give the girl an ending. Maybe in the end, she would finally understand that the bunch of grapes hanging on the branches, whether she could eat them or not, were sour.

……

Reiyuan Girls' College.

Asagami Fujino actually doesn't have many friends at school.

Naomi is one of them.

As for Seo Shizune, she is a friend of a friend.

Although the relationship between Asagami Fujino and Seo Shizune is connected by Naomi, they are not good friends who can talk about anything. Of course, for Seo Shizune, even if the other party is Naomi, she has her own secrets.

The secret is that she has the superpower of foresight.

She can see a fragment of the future in advance.

She has always been troubled by this ability to be bored.

Because in her eyes, the world is a repetitive vicious circle. She can only see the destined future. What she is like in the future will determine what she will become in the future. There is absolutely no possibility of change, so she does not have any extra expectations for life. But one day, she found that the future of Asagami Fujino in her eyes sometimes became clear and sometimes became blurred——

And the signs of this change are becoming strongest now.

This means that this young lady from a noble family is making some kind of decision.

So Seo Shizue couldn't help but want to get closer to her, but without Naomi as a bridge, the relationship between the two became a little awkward. Seo Shizue couldn't help but want to find some topic to talk about, so she asked her with concern about what had happened recently.

Asagami Fujino hesitated for a moment, but did not tell anyone what happened between her and Ling Wuji.

To her, this seemed too absurd.

After all, any girl would reject a playboy like Ling Wuzhi without hesitation, right?

But she was still hesitating.

"Well, do you want to go and rest? You don't look very well."

Seo Shizune said.

Asagami Fujino touched her face and thought, is this really the case?

She thanked the classmate for his concern, but did not stand up. The girl with short red hair still looked at her with concern, so Asagami Fujino's heart suddenly moved, and she said: "Seo-san, I have a friend..."

She used the friend's name to tell her own story.

Seo Shizune didn't say much, just observed her expression and said, "From your description, it seems that there is no... unforgettable past between the two of them like in romance novels, right?"

Asagami Fujino thought about it silently for a moment and then shook her head.

"So, it's actually okay to refuse to associate with that person, right?"

Seo Shizune looked at her expression tentatively and said.

Yes.

Asagami Fujino said in her heart that there were not many thrilling past events between the two of them from the beginning. She once wanted to use her magic eyes to help the boy, but he did not let himself go too deep into the world of mystery. Or it could be said that he grew up too fast. More than a year ago, he was just a junior high school student who had a little difficulty beating up a few bad boys on the roadside, but now, he is a famous and important figure in the other world. In this process, she basically did not help at all.

So they should be people from two different worlds.
