You could say it was superstition, but Saijo stopped him from finishing his words.
“You still believe this.”
If he doesn't say it, he can show it through his actions.
So Goroki stepped forward, and while the girl was so frightened that she took a step back, he gave her a light kiss on the lips.
Nishijo's feet took a step back, but his body did not move away, nor did he have any intention of moving away. Nagi felt a little hot, and her face must be redder than the sunset.
Goroki knew that he was afraid of death, and now he was more afraid of death than before. So he just tried his best to survive.
At night, the five senses virtual world
Because the captain asked him to do so, Goromu landed here.
He actually wanted to land in the evening, but it was because he met Nagi. Compared with that stinky man Himeya, Nagi was of course more important.
The hall of the association at night is probably the time when the most people log in. Although the association exists to deal with alien beasts, it is also a good place for communication.
The true face of this world is covered in a false peace. If the members of the association are official, they still know the inside story, but ordinary civilians are not allowed to even know the existence of alien beasts. Apart from here, they have no one to talk to.
Only here can we speak freely to each other and explore what the world is really like.
The ronin with red hair and a cross scar on his face was holding his reverse-blade sword, always acting like a ronin. He looked around but did not see Himeya Jun.
Maybe he is not online, or maybe he is not in the lobby. After all, this virtual world is much wider than the lobby.
As a virtual community, Goroki hopes that the association can have an "add friends" function, just like mobile email. However, considering Himeya's personality, he may not be willing to add others as friends.
So he could only ask Miss Kainaer. Miss Kainaer usually would not reveal the whereabouts of another member to the members of the association, but it was okay to just ask whether he was online.
However, in front of Miss Kenar, there was another member of the association who was talking.
Or consulting?
He was a weird-looking guy wearing a park doll costume, but in the association, they were all virtual images, so this was normal.
"So, Muffin, what you want to ask is what young girls think? That's really difficult. You can't understand this kind of thing even if you read a lot of books or study it seriously."
"Isn't Miss Kayner also a young girl?"
He really didn't understand Chidori's ideas, which sometimes caused a lot of trouble to the mission.
"Oh, the muffins can really talk!"
Kenar was delighted to be told that she was a young girl; she quite liked being treated as a human being.
"Mr. Jianxin, is there anything you want to exchange or consult?"
She noticed Mizoroki approaching.
Mizoroki nodded and greeted the teenage boy.
"I want to ask, is Himeya online today?"
"Is it Mr. Himeya?" Kaina paused for half a second and shook her head. "Mr. Himeya is not here yet."
"Can you let me know when he's online? I need to talk to him about something."
"Well, this requires Mr. Himeya's consent. If he has no objection, of course it's fine. Is there anything else you need?"
Since he was here, Goromu exchanged some raw materials that TLT needed to exchange for a long time. Then he asked for some free virtual drinks.
Although it is virtual, it tastes just like the real thing. There is really no disadvantage except that it won't make you drunk.
Of course, not getting drunk can also be considered an advantage.
"Boy, there's nothing complicated about dealing with young girls. Just kiss her and everything will be solved." Before leaving, Goromu gave some valuable advice to the young boy in the image of a doll costume.
"Kiss?"
"Yes, Kiss, understand?"
"Kiss? I see." Sagara Sosuke thought for a moment and decided to write it down in his notebook. He had seen similar scenes before when he was studying TV programs, and the woman on the other side became rational for no apparent reason. It seemed to make sense.
During military first aid training, it is a very good method of CPR, so would people be happy to perform this kind of CPR on ordinary people in daily life?
Nothing seems wrong.
He decided to try this method next time Chidori acted unreasonably.
Goroki's wait was not in vain. In the evening, he received a notice from Miss Kaina. Himeya was online and did not object to contacting him.
Chapter 529: Lavlia
"Would you like some wine?"
When Himeya heard that someone was looking for him, he was greeted by a pot of shochu when he saw the person. It was a very strong liquor and he could smell the alcohol from a distance.
"I do not drink."
Himeya hasn't touched alcohol for many years. Even when he was in the most pain, he never thought of using alcohol to numb himself.
"do we know each other?"
Himeya wasn't sure if he had ever seen this member of the society called 'Kenshin' before. He usually didn't care much about this, and he never paid attention to other people in the society.
"It's enough for me to know you." Seeing that Himeya really didn't drink, Goroki didn't force it, "You didn't change your avatar in the association, what do you think?"
What do you think?
To be honest, Ji Yajun didn't think about it that much. He didn't mind it, and he didn't think he needed to deliberately hide his identity.
"The TLT is currently investigating the members of the association. If you use your own name and appearance like this, you will most likely be discovered by the TLT."
Ji Ya was unmoved and even felt a little bored. He was not willing to waste time here any longer. He joined the association because he wanted to receive training, not this meaningless chat.
The leader of the association, the girl named Misaka Mikoto, has a much deeper understanding of the power of Nexus than Himeya himself, and every training session benefits Himeya greatly.
And he still had a lot to ask him, such as Faust, the dark realm that had eroded Meta's realm, and the palace ruins on the cloud that covered both realms. He really didn't have the extra time to waste with a drunkard.
Himeya already regretted it a little. He had heard from Miss Kaina that someone was looking for him, so he came to see him out of curiosity. Whether in the association or in reality, he didn't have any friends who cared about each other. So the fact that someone was looking for him was a bit novel to him.
"Why, do you think it's okay if your identity is exposed because you're a member of the Night Raid?"
These words made Himeya, who was about to leave, stop.
"you know me?"
The other party knew that he was a member of the Night Raid Team, so they knew him in real life rather than the him in the society.
Mizoroki thought about it and realized that his identity was no longer a secret in TLT, so it didn't matter. He cancelled the original appearance of the virtual character and chose his original appearance like Himeya.
"vice captain?"
Captain Kazukura asked him to give Himeya some advice without revealing his identity, but Goroki decided to be honest.
After all, it always seems unfair that I know Himeya's identity but Himeya doesn't know me.
Solitary door?
He was just a kid. Some people are born warriors, like Himeya, while some people are too weak at heart.
The word "weakness" is not derogatory. At least in Goroki's heart, it is synonymous with kindness and goodness.
Gu Men is not suitable for here, nor for the night attack team. In fact, in Gorumu's opinion, he should stay in the previous rescue team, which is the job that suits Gu Men.
Maybe one day, after discovering that he is not suitable, Komon can return to his past life after having his memory modified by the memory police.
But he and Himeya can't go back.
So sometimes he would go to Komon to relieve his boredom under the identity of 'Kenshin', but he would never reveal his identity to the other party, and would never tell anyone else about his identity as a member of the Komon Society, not even Captain Watakura.
Because that means bringing the other person into the same world as yourself.
"Himeya, if you, like me, intend to obtain more resources in the association through the TLT channel, then you can disclose your identity. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if your identity is leaked."
"trouble?"
Himeya was a little confused. Both TLT and the Society were aiming to eliminate the alien beasts, and so was he, so what was the connection?
"Although it's not nice for me to say this, you have to be careful TLT."
Even though they are all working to eliminate the alien beasts, human hearts are sometimes the most unpredictable.
"The wine here is virtual and won't make you drunk. You can really drink a little, and it may help you calm down."
After Goroki left, Himeya looked at the pot of wine he had left for her, but still chose not to try it.
Perhaps the spiciness of alcohol can indeed stimulate the nerves, allowing people to temporarily put down their burdens and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, but Himeya does not need peace and quiet.
He was not qualified to enjoy it, otherwise, it would be too unfair to Sera who died because of him.
His punishment was not over yet, not by a long shot.
However, he still took the deputy captain's reminder to heart.
He used his real name in the association not because he wanted to rely on this identity to obtain some resources from TLT, but because he didn't care. This didn't mean that he was willing to have his identity exposed, the identity of a member of the association, and the identity of Nexus's human body.
That would be troublesome indeed.
So when Himeya found Kainar again, he asked her if he could choose a virtual identity.
"Of course, no problem, Mr. Himeya. Anyone can choose a virtual identity, but it's only free for the first time. If you want to change it later, you need to redeem merits."
Himeya was the first time.
It didn't matter to him what image or name he chose, so he randomly chose one from the male images.
"The virtual identity you chose is Archer, are you sure?"
Archer?
[This body is made of swords, the blood is like iron and the heart is like glass. I have fought countless battles without losing, never suffered a defeat, and never won a victory.]
A strange name, it was a young man in red clothes, although he was young, he had white hair. But Himeya didn't mind, it was just a virtual image.
"confirm."
The next moment, Himeya turned into the image in the virtual image. The fierce red windbreaker, the blood-like color was like the holy shroud.
"Never lost a battle, never won a victory..." For some reason, this sentence left a deep impression on Himeya. He didn't understand the meaning, but he felt it touched him.
Successfully destroying the alien beasts certainly doesn't count as a defeat. However, that is not the victory that Himeya seeks. The emptiness in his heart will not be filled by destroying the enemy. Therefore, he has to go to the battlefield again and again, perhaps what he is waiting for is the day when he falls.
"Do you need to exchange anything else, Mr. Archer?"
In Kaina's mouth, 'Himeya' has been changed to 'Archer'.
