"Many, too many..."
Ruanruan faced Xiao Xiao's curious inquiry and fiddled with his detector, with a surprised expression on her face: "You have a museum of abnormal humans here. How do you manage to treat so many guys with psychological problems?" Got together?"
"Is it true that birds of a feather flock together?"
"..."
As if having an eye-opening feeling, Ruanruan carefully observed everyone in the bar.
Xiao Xiao was also surprised and nervous. Following her gaze, Xiao Xiao rolled around in the bar, looking at the people around her who were paying attention to her. What she saw this time was a man sitting in the corner of the bar. He was a thin man, his whole face was submerged in the shadows, holding a glass of wine that had not been touched for a long time in his hand, silently looking at the lively and crazy world in front of him.
Strangely enough, since he is here, he should be here to enjoy it.
But he just sat stubbornly all the time. His friends who were sitting with him were all far away from him. If they wanted to chat with him, he just avoided them.
A girl who was eager to improve her business deliberately came to chat with him, but he waved his hands in fear.
With his ability as an observer, Xiao Xiao could clearly feel that whenever someone tried to talk to him, he would be extremely nervous and unnatural, as if everyone had forgotten about him and left him alone. You will feel comfortable only when you are in a corner.
"Latent instinct..."
Ruanruan explained to Xiao Xiao softly: "I'm afraid of everything in the world, I just want to find a safe corner."
"Is this guy almost up to standard?"
"However, at least someone is willing to call him out, and he will agree, so he can still live as a normal person."
"Hiding, but longing for..."
"Almost all the materials needed for the hunter's route are harvested from these people."
"..."
"Hiding and longing?"
If it weren't for a soft reminder, even if it was the insight route, it would be easy to ignore it based on just this moment of observation.
Xiao Xiao indeed discovered that the person hiding in the corner had an obvious desire not to be discovered by others and only wanted to hide in a quiet corner. However, when he looked at the crowd, he also had desire, so, What if as the pain substance in his body increases, he is no longer just hiding, but might even develop into some kind of hunter hiding in the shadows?
He lives in isolation and does not interact with others, but he occasionally sets his sights on the real world.
In a precise and cruel way, he instantly locks onto his prey, drags him back to his safe corner, and enjoys it slowly...
"The most interesting thing is that table..."
Ruanruan said, looking at a booth with an "understanding" smile on her face.
Xiao Xiao's eyes followed her and he saw a table with five or six people sitting there, men and women. The atmosphere was great, but the three eyes of the discerner just rolled slightly and locked on the faces of three of the people on the table. On the body, one of them, with a short and stocky build and a short haircut, sat silently among the people, just drinking in silence, and occasionally casting his eyes on the man and woman in the corner.
The woman's makeup is exquisite, and the man's makeup is even more exquisite than hers.
The two of them sat not far from the short and sturdy man, clinking glasses, looking at each other, laughing, cuddling, and feeding them fruit.
It looks like a dog food scene.
However, the stocky man was silent for a long time, and suddenly he couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand to pull the woman, pointed at the delicate man and said something.
The delicate woman suddenly became angry, stood up, raised the cup and poured it over.
He yelled words such as "small-minded", "my bestie", "we have always been like this", "everything is dirty".
The stocky man blushed with embarrassment. The friend next to him looked over in surprise, and the atmosphere at the table dropped to freezing point.
The angry delicate woman pulled her innocent male best friend away.
The stocky man slowly reached out and covered his face, feeling lonely and regretful, as if he was the sinner who ruined the happy atmosphere.
…
…
"Extremely sensitive..."
Ruanruan smiled softly and said: "It's obviously hard for everyone to get together. It's obvious that his girlfriend has already told him that her best friend is coming. She has also explained to him countless times that she and her best friend are pure. But this man just can't stand it. He is suspicious and sensitive. Every smile and every tiny movement they make makes him feel entangled in pain and unbearable..."
"So he finally forgot about his promise to 'believe her' and questioned her in front of others."
"So, a good party was ruined..."
"..."
"is that so?"
Listening to her explanation, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little strange, his eyes full of doubt.
He suddenly stood up and followed the girl and her boyfriend out. Ruanruan knew what he was going to do and followed him out.
They weren't too close, there were dozens of meters between the two sides, but the three Insight Eyes followed.
The girlfriend and her boyfriend walked out of the bar. The girl was very aggrieved. She kept wiping her tears and kept saying bad things about her boyfriend. She seemed to have deliberately slowed down her pace, as if she was waiting for the people in the bar to chase them out. , but no, at least not for more than ten seconds. In addition, the male best friend was very nervous, but he also comforted her very gently and kept apologizing to her.
So the two of them got into a taxi. Her male best friend wanted to take her back, but she was worried that she would be out by herself at such a late hour.
Compared to him, he really doesn't care about himself.
Angry, she turned off her cell phone and went to her boyfriend's best friend's house to save him from bothering her again while she needed to heal.
They drank a lot of wine, and while they were in a daze, the male best friend's mouth kissed hers, and the male best friend's hand reached into her collar.
After an unknown amount of time, an angry knock on the door rang.
The short and stocky man rushed in, kicked open the door, and rushed in. His eyes were red, unable to take in everything.
Holding the knife firmly in his hand, he stabbed his best friend in the stomach.
…
…
"What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Xiao and Ruan Ruan were sitting on a slightly higher building opposite their room, one sitting and the other standing.
"All I said was that he was suspicious and sensitive and ruined the atmosphere of the party."
Ruanruan smiled and said: "But I didn't say that what he perceived due to his suspicion and sensitivity was wrong..."
"We often blame others for being too suspicious and too sensitive, don't we? It seems that things are caused by these suspicious people, as if they always ignore the happiness of the moment, and must let things go to the worst result, as if they are not Living together, I always have to be questioned all the time, which causes me to be too stressed and makes me never want to live with such a person again."
"But how much of this sensitivity is just created out of thin air, and how much of it actually sees the truth?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao felt a little sad for a moment after hearing Ruan Ruan's explanation. He could only lower his head and look at this deep and bustling city.
The puppet man I saw last night no longer exists.
Everyone is alive, crowded in this cement can, like maggots struggling to survive.
It is also like a drop of water, being pushed forward by the rapid water of the river, unable to help itself.
"Brother Xiao, Sister Jiajia asked you to find strengthening elements, and this is all I can tell you."
Amid Xiao Xiao's sigh, Ruanruan squatted down beside him and said softly: "Strengthening elements are the basis for us strangers to improve ourselves, whether it is the violent factors or sensitive factors that help us improve our ranks step by step, Or external special items, they are all a kind of strengthening elements. But this kind of thing is not created out of thin air by this city for us. "
“The reinforcing element is in this city.”
“Every moment something new appears, and every moment something dies.”
"We just, through the power of the city, kept these things and placed them on us."
"..."
"call……"
And listening to her explanation, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his heart.
He let out a long breath, stood up from the top of the building, and said, "In this case, I know how to find it..."
Separating from Ruanruan, Xiao Xiao walked alone into the city that was still trapped in the long night.
"Drive, drive to the edge of the city..."
"Tears are falling..."
"..."
In my ears, soft music suddenly sounded. Although it was abrupt, it was a little cautious.
"Is the bar busy?"
Xiao Xiao asked softly towards the direction where the record player lady's voice came from.
Calculating the time, it was almost the time when the bar started to close, so she couldn't be considered skipping work.
The record player girl wouldn't answer, but she made her displeasure very specific.
"Like Ruanruan said, how come our bar has so many weird guys with painful substances gathered in it?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and asked his question: "Am I really unlucky, or did you attract them here?"
"Sorry boss, I don't want to go to work."
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I want to spend all my money..."
"..."
The sound of the music changed again, and it was obviously a bit provocative.
But at this time, Xiao Xiao was not angry, but smiled silently and said: "In addition, they have accumulated painful substances, but they are not really deformed. Is it because you have influenced them to some extent?" To help them vent?"
"Could it be that in this process, you can obtain your own painful substance?"
"..."
The music suddenly disappeared, and the record player lady seemed a little relieved.
"No matter what, it will be fine..."
Xiao Xiao smiled softly, looked up at the deep city, and said, "Come in with me and take a walk!"
"I really want to get to know this city."
"..."
The steps became gentle, as if walking in a huge dark forest, looking for that strange fruit.
And as he entered this deep city, a pair of eyes seemed to slowly open at the end of the endless bright lights.
Like a giant waking up.
I recommend a book called "The Playing Game of Life".
"Becoming a Richest Man from the Game" is a new book by the author Qing Shantzui. I am still familiar with game production articles. Brothers who are interested can go and support it.
