"...I have been practicing martial arts every day recently, and the progress is not good. I can't feel the flow of the so-called 'power', which makes me feel a rare frustration."
"Occasionally I think of the time when I pestered you to teach me swordsmanship. When I think back now, I always feel embarrassed because of my immaturity at that time, but I also feel that it is a memory worth cherishing."
】
Gongsun Ce hesitated for a moment, then quickly added the last two lines with his pen.
"I still haven't received a reply to my last letter. I think you must have encountered some situation. If you still don't receive a reply within a week this time, I will find ways to initiate contact in other ways..."
"Wish you a happy life. Sincerely, Gongsun Ce."
Gongsun Ce skillfully sealed the envelope and completed another letter. This time he still used his Spring and Autumn style of writing and wrote the letter in a detailed and concise manner. The battle with Master Chi, the completion of the spiritual communication and the hard training that followed are worthy of a book. As for falling in love with girls and being stuck in the bathroom as a result, they are daily trivial matters that Miss Knight will definitely not care about. Then there is no need to talk about it.
"Inferences always need clues. That's what you said." Gongsun Ce muttered, "If I don't write a word about this, what else can you deduce? It's absolutely impossible..."
He admitted that he still had some dark and angry thoughts in his heart. But since the Dawn Knight knew him so well, it didn't matter.
Gongsun Ce stretched out and lay down on his bed as usual. The pillow had a different smell than before, reminding him of Shigure Rei's usual shampoo. Only then did he realize that this bed had been occupied by his partner...and actual girlfriend for more than half a month, and his place was in the bathroom bathtub.
"Tsk!"
Gongsun Ce smacked his mouth inexplicably and turned over the quilt on the bed as a prank. He was just thinking about how to pass the time when he heard the cell phone ringing in his pocket. He was slightly surprised by the name displayed on the screen.
"Hey, Sister Mahon? What's wrong... huh??" Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "Okay, then do you want me to call some more friends... Ah, okay, okay, I'll go over now, bye."
Gongsun Ce buttoned up the phone with a strange look on his face.
"No, can I have this even if you have no parenting experience...?"
·
Maho's home is located in Cangshou District, the most stable area in the Sky City, and is connected to her white clinic.
Gongsun Ce had never seriously stepped into this house before. Every time he passed by, he thought that the doctor's cold and perverted appearance might mean that the interior of his house was also a horror movie-like set. As soon as he entered the house, a wave of air-conditioning hit his face. There were large pieces of frozen meat hanging from iron hooks that gave off disturbing associations. The doctor was sitting at the dining table in a white coat, cutting half-cooked meat that looked like steak with a knife and fork. When he came in, he smiled coldly and said that there was something for dinner today. Found...
Of course, these are all random thoughts from the Taoist period. In fact, Caldesia has been to the doctor's house as a guest. According to her, doctors’ residences are mostly decorated with natural wood texture, which is a simple style common in Lingdao. There are many green plants in the room. In the summer, when the curtains are opened and the sunlight shines in, it feels like entering a small forest in the city, making the whole house warm and elegant.
At that time, Gongsun Ce said, "Don't make me laugh." The doctor seemed to be a gentle little girl, but in his heart, he thought that the doctor was indeed an ordinary person with a side other than work. Unfortunately, the warmer the house, the lonelier it will be if you live alone. I really don’t know why it took the doctor so long to get used to it.
Now Gongsun Ce guessed the reason: Kong Sheng would visit her every once in a while, and this small home was probably reserved for Kong Sheng. And now that little Ayane has come to live here, the doctor will no longer be lonely.
"Excuse me, I'm Gongsun Ce."
Gongsun Ce passed the electronic access control and knocked on the door of the villa. The heavy wooden door opened automatically. He took off his shoes and put on his slippers, and walked into the doctor's home with curiosity...
"Eye-!"
What greeted Gongsun Ce was a clear shout, and the pungent smell of blood rushed towards his face with murderous intent! But I saw a strong bloody light streaking across the living room, cutting the small green plant into four pieces, cutting through the thorns and thorns in a piece of fine fallen leaves, and cutting off half of its head. "Hey-!" Then a red shadow flashed in front of Gongsun Ce. In the blink of an eye, the young girl rushed in front of the wooden man and launched a series of merciless slashes with her hand knife. But saw sawdust flying in the countless afterimages, and in just 0.3 seconds, the wooden man was hit by the mysterious force and exploded. This is the dark killing technique of Blood Demon Karate, the bright red kill! talent!
After finishing a set of combos, the girl in red put away her posture and exhaled with satisfaction. When she saw Gongsun Ce standing at the door, her eyes lit up: "Ah! The little Gongsun is here~!"
"...Good morning, Ayane."
Gongsun Ce stood in the mess and felt deeply confused. He felt that his beautiful imagination and the atmosphere of life in the house had exploded and scattered like that poor wooden man. He slowly shifted his gaze and found the owner of the room on the sofa. Maho was wearing cool pajamas like a suspender skirt, sitting in front of the coffee table with a coffee cup in his hands. There were broken branches and leaves on his short hair and shoulders. His expression was as withered as an old monk, and his eyes seemed to have seen through the world of mortals.
"Maho-san! Wake up, Maho-san!"
"
A piece of green leaf fell into the coffee cup. Maho took a sip and said in a very soft voice: "I'm dreaming again..."
"It's reality! Don't run away from reality, Maho-san!
"
Little Ayane put her hands on her hips and shook her head like an adult: "Really...little Gongsun, if you are my younger brother, then you should also talk about Maho-chan!"
Gongsun Ce scratched his head: "Well... Let's not mention the wonderful name of Little Gongsun. What happened to Sister Maho?"
Ayane said dissatisfied: "Maho-chan has become lazy!"
"………………ah?"
"Huh...huh! I have stopped practicing karate, and I have given up on the practice of impermanence. It is summer vacation and I just stay at home all day long and only go out for treatment occasionally. How can I do this!
Ayane showed deep helplessness, "Besides, little Gongsun, little Maho has really entered the rebellious stage now... She used to be a very obedient and easy-going child, but now she doesn't listen to me anymore!" "
Stop talking, Ayane! Maho-chan's existence has become thinner, she is going to become a ghost!
Gongsun Ce made a prompt decision, squatted down, and put on an experienced posture: "Don't worry, Ayane! Mr. Gongsun, I go to the elementary school as a volunteer every winter and summer vacation. I have rich experience in dealing with difficult children. Correction As long as you leave the child's tasks to me, there will be no problem!"
"Ah...ah!" Ayane clapped her hands happily, "Little Gongsun, you are so reliable~"
"In this case, I will talk to her alone to determine the problem first. Ayane will wait for a while!" Gongsun Ce emphasized seriously, "You must not come over to disturb her, otherwise the psychological counseling will be hindered!"
"Is it starting so soon?"
"Experts just want quick solutions!"
After saying that, Gongsun Ce picked up his sister who was wandering in the sky and ran towards the second floor.
·
"Maho-sama, can you hear me?"
Gongsun Ce was sitting in the office on the second floor, waving worriedly in front of Maho.
No matter how hard it was to go to the bedroom to discuss it, Gongsun Ce determined the location of the office through telekinesis and walked in with Maho. The usually calm doctor now looked tired and looked exhausted both physically and mentally. Gongsun Ce waved for a while before she finally reacted.
"Ah..." Maho gently rubbed his temples, "Don't move."
"?" Gongsun Ce stood there obediently.
Maho opened his arms and hugged him like a pillow. The unrelated sister closed her eyes and buried her head in his chest, motionless, as if she was charging.
"So tired...let me take a break...ten seconds..."
Gongsun Ce patted her back gently: "Okay, thank you for taking care of the problem children."
Maho stayed in his arms for about half a minute, and then walked out of the office in silence. Two minutes later, the doctor he was familiar with came back, wearing a black short dress and a white coat, exuding a cold and indifferent smell that would make people thousands of miles away. The doctor sat down at his desk, crossed his legs out of habit, and glanced at him: "Okay, let's get down to business."
"Allow me to interrupt, how did you deal with the pressure before?" Gongsun Cexu said with eyes.
"Lie in the bathtub and hug yourself."
"So lonely!
! "
"Occasionally when I was too tired, I would hug Caldesia. She has a high body temperature and is very comfortable to hold." Maho added calmly, "Later, she fell in love. I was afraid that her boyfriend would misunderstand me, so I didn't go again. I felt like my schoolmate and I Fading away is a bit sentimental.”
Can you please stop living your life so negatively?
Caldesia's character is such that she can hold you for a whole day without any complaints, and besides, Shigure-kun isn't some snarky guy who gets jealous of his girlfriend and best friend.
...Probably not.
"I'm in love now..."
There was a rare hint of teasing in Maho's smile: "Your reputation is so bad, there's no need to worry."
"Yes!" Gongsun Ce leaned down on the desk, "So what about Ling Yin? She got up early in the morning to practice karate? What happened to the blood blade? She started practicing impermanence by herself again?"
"The forbidden move in Blood Demon Karate, the technique of turning one's own blood into a weapon." Maho sighed sadly, "I have to treat her every morning, and when I see this, I have nightmares at night..."
That was really devastating. I have just been cured of PTSD and am already suffering from this stimulation every day. No one else would be able to withstand it.
"No, Master Chi has been an independent individual different from her for a long time. Logically speaking, she has no memory of Master Chi at all." Gongsun Ce felt a headache, "This child has not been affected by evil spirits, so how can he be beaten in one fell swoop?" It looks like it’s dripping with chicken blood…”
"You also said that Ayane has no memory of death." The doctor looked sideways, "So her life is still stuck in the past."
Gongsun Ce suddenly understood.
Ayane was sealed by Master Chi and spent more than ten years in a state similar to hibernation. But when she woke up, the time that should have been missing between her "past" and "present" was missing. For Ayane, last month she was still struggling in the Akaguchi Project, and now the next month she is in the Sky City, living with her childhood friend who has become an adult.
It is strange that she can adapt to the new life. It is better to say that she is just taking care of herself at home. This child is extremely sensible.
"Let me think about it...why is she still passionate about cultivation?" Gongsun Ce felt that it was very inconsistent. "The place where Chiguchi planned it was must be hell for Ayane. Why does she still want to become stronger?"
"The concepts implanted in education will not dissipate so quickly." Maho said sadly, "Ayane knows that there is hell, and she wants to escape from the Akaguchi Project just like me. But Ayane is still living in the Secret War In her final years, she remembered the instructors' speeches and felt that the war was about to begin and everyone might die...
She is a very responsible child, but she doesn’t understand that she no longer has the obligation to become stronger and protect everyone..."
Therefore, Ayane cannot understand Maho’s current life.
"I understand, but your identity is still very embarrassing, which makes it difficult to deal with."
For Ayane, Maho is still the girl who followed her back then, the sister who needed her to take care of her. Even if such Maho becomes an adult, he will not have the majesty of a "parent", let alone change his mind and provide education.
Gongsun Ce thought for a while and had an idea in his mind.
"Maho-san, listen to me. I think it's impossible to change Ayane's perspective with just a few sentences. You can only let her experience and understand the changes in the world, just like we have gone from then to now. Same."
"so?"
Gongsun Ce made an encouraging gesture.
"The change must start with the person closest to her, that is, you! Don't be a little Maho today, show your style as a doctor, and let her see you as a superpower!"
·
"It's passed, it's passed? Where is this trail?
Is this the God’s path? Pass through it gently and go to the other side?”
Ayane was sitting on the sofa, humming a song idly. The early morning karate practice came to an end, and she was thinking about what she should do today.
This is a very "fresh" thing, because every day in the past Ayane has been fully arranged by the instructors. Can she go play games? But it seems that now is not the time to play... because the war may start at any time, so we must hurry up...
"ah!"
Ayane's eyes lit up when she saw Gongsun Ce and Maho walking down from the second floor. She ran up to the two of them and asked expectantly: "How are you, little Gongsun?"
"Ahem!" Gongsun Ce cleared his throat, "I had a serious talk with Sister Maho for a while, and she also reflected a lot and decided to tell you her thoughts in person. Come on, Sister Maho!"
The doctor changed into a pair of high heels, and the heels clicked on the floor. "Come here, Ayane." She said concisely and walked to the green plant that had been chopped off during the exercise. Those green branches immediately grew rapidly, and under the doctor's power, they turned into carnivorous plants with sharp teeth and an acid smell.
"Ah...ah! Maho-chan, you are so amazing." Ayane exclaimed.
"Now I am a superpower 'doctor', not the child in your memory." Maho said coldly, "Ayane, you need to understand this fact. It has been a long time, many things have changed, and so have I. ...?!"
"Creak, creak, creak, creak~" Ayane raised her hand and gently scratched the doctor's side.
"Ha ha!"
The doctor laughed out loud and quickly used his power to change the muscles in his waist. He said with a hint of embarrassment, "Ayane! Listen to me carefully!"
"What~" Ayane retracted her hand with a smirk, "I'm still as ticklish as before! Then Maho-chan is still Maho-chan~ Come on, touch your head."
Ayane jumped up and touched Maho's head, then hummed and ran to play.
The doctor covered his face and sat at the dining table, silent for a long time.
Gongsun Ce held it in for a long time and encouraged: "You can be more cold-faced."
"No..." the doctor said frustratedly, "I can't be tough in front of Ayane..."
Ayane's road to re-education encountered an unprecedented setback at the first step.
