Returning to the ground again, I saw the sunlight through the crack of the door, and the chill from drinking the water of the Styx immediately disappeared. In addition, the feeling this time is actually not as strong as the first time. It feels like drinking a bottle of painless liquid nitrogen——
It feels similar to that. If you really drink something that cold, the pain you will feel in your digestive tract should be similar to burning, not just a simple cold. The coldness of the Stygian water is not physical, but it does "feel" that deep. Therefore, you can create the feeling of drinking "liquid nitrogen" that does not exist in reality.
He looked back at the other three: they were quite normal.
In fact, Shangluo had always wanted to ask, and they didn't seem to feel anything strange when they took the first sip.
He asked Wen Yuan behind him.
"Cold? If you want to say it's cold, it's true. But when I drink it, I don't feel it anymore in my stomach. I always feel that something in my stomach is warming it. What about you?"
Han Xingzhi gave a similar answer, but Lu Liang added:
"It seems to be Zhenqi. I only have bottled Qihai as a source of air, so I feel it more directly. I can feel the coldness neutralizing the warmth of Zhenqi. The two forces seem to be in conflict. But after the conflict, it seems that It doesn’t dissolve each other. Hmm, it’s a strange feeling.”
"By the way, each of you, please tell me about the situation." Han Xingzhi took out a small book behind him: "Lu Qianhu assigned me a task before I left. I have to write down the feelings of each of you and submit the report. Go up. Tsk, that’s why you insist on calling me here. It turns out that you need a handyman. Let me repeat what you said."
Han Xingzhi stood to the side: "Everything is normal, Wen Yuan. He only felt cold for a moment, and I feel the same. Lu Liang also feels that everything is normal, but he can feel that the true energy is counteracting the coldness of the EITR potion. What about you, Shangluo? Since You ask first, do you feel strongly?”
"Yes. And it seems that the Romans have to freeze like this every time they travel. Only after long-term training can they adapt."
"Tsk, tsk." Han Xingzhi shook his head while taking notes, "Those Romans are really working hard. I'll go back and replenish some, and I can hand it over in the evening. What time is it now?"
"Hey!" Wen Yuan took out the sign and took a look at it: "It's not even three o'clock! It's not even an afternoon. How about we go back to school?"
Lu Liang nodded: "I have no objection. Do you two go back too? Okay, if you don't have any objection, just go back. Don't be absent for the whole afternoon, it will be counted as absence rate."
These are issues between students and should not be discussed in front of "parents" like Lu Huaiyang, otherwise they will have to go back to school anyway. Although the result is the same now, the feeling of deciding on my own is still different from "I must go back because of face."
After confirmation, Shangluo at the front opened the door.
Lu Huaiyang stood under the steps of the Liuli Pagoda. Another old monk was holding a broom next to him, seemingly waiting for them to come out.
"Well, are you having fun?" Lu Huaiyang asked. He knew early on that there seemed to be a great gaming experience inside.
Han Xingzhi submitted the report on the spot. His records started from before, starting from the lighthouse, to the ice cream and Caesar, they were all recorded in his notes one by one.
After a brief glance, Lu Huaiyang nodded:
"It seems normal over there. In fact, we have cooperated with the inner guards two or three times before, but it was all official business between adults, and the inner guards would not take us to eat ice cream. Maybe they don't want to mix work with The beauty of childhood has something to do with it, but you are different. Children have no taboos, and they are like this before they reach adulthood. So..."
He thought for a while: "Actually, we have an assessment here as to whether we should let you go. Because although the Golden Bough Ceremony is very important, there is more than one way to solve the problem, and miracles can also be done vigorously. But as long as it does not bring you controllable consequences, If there is any danger outside, then you can go. This experience itself is very important. The initial date is this Sunday, and you can withdraw before it starts. If any of you have any opinions, you can raise them now."
Few people spoke.
"Then since you haven't said anything, I'll just assume that you have acquiesced so far. Also, Xiao Han, you don't have to come if you really don't want to come."
"No, no, no, whoever doesn't let me follow my big brother will worry me."
"Tsk, because of the Nendoroid thing? You are too utilitarian. You turn 180° when you encounter good things. How can you be like your uncle? Well, you just have no objection. Then the outing is over for now, you guys Everyone should go back to their homes, I still have to sweep the floor."
Sitting in the car going back to school, Shangluo was in a good mood.
[You seem to be in a normal mood? Don't you have any ideas? 】
"what idea?"
【That's your father. No one else seemed to realize it was your father, so they didn't feel anything. However, isn't it a little weird to be so estranged from your father? 】
"Are you inquiring about my personal privacy?"
[No, I am exchanging information with my partner. I really want to know, even if you don't want to answer I still want to know. In return, you can ask me a question that I normally wouldn't answer. 】
"Okay. There is no need to really exchange. This question is actually not that difficult to answer." Shangluo did have some resistance. But then he thought about it and seemed to be more sincere towards his partners.
"To put it bluntly, the reason for the alienation may be 'lack of familiarity'."
[What kind of description is unfamiliarity? 】
"Unfamiliar means...unfamiliar. The lack of any family interaction between me and him may be because I have no memory of my childhood. My memory started when I was 6 years old, and it seemed to start very suddenly. Old Shang him. I think he should know more than me. In the beginning, the relationship between us was quite like a normal father and son. He would take me to see the sunset and talk to me a lot. But after all, I still have my heart. Gritty."
[It makes sense, after all, a parent relationship can only be established once. If you call someone father if you see him being kind to you, wouldn't that be the same as Lu Bu? 】
"Yes. I'm afraid Lao Shang is also aware of these barriers - at that time, I also thought that he might think that the child has grown up and it is time to let go. Ha, a 6-year-old child is as small as a pea. Where did he come from? Let go. I guess he expected these situations, and our relationship slowly became more delicate: but it was also from that point on that he technically no longer held any reservations about me. He gave almost all of He spent all his working time with me, watching me dismantle the alarm clock bit by bit, and deal with gears and springs."
