Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the tip of his nose. Joy and surprise kept colliding in his heart, mixing into a different kind of emotion.
"...What does this mean?" Yuan Ye muttered to himself melancholy, "Am I...being fooled?"
Although Yuan Ye had a small amount of anger in his heart mostly based on instinct after carbon-based humans discovered that he had been deceived, what filled his heart was more of a touch of joy and expectation, which he had never experienced before time travel. After time traveling, his beautiful emotions were triggered by different people one after another, leaving him a little "at a loss".
After another while, Yuanye finally calmed down completely.
"Including the days I lived before time travel, I am already quite old." Yuanye joked, pretending to be relaxed, "Why do my emotions still rise and fall just because of the words of a beautiful girl of the same age? You should be more cautious. ."
Frankly speaking, no matter how you calculate it, if you add up the ages of the two lives, Yuanye still can't escape the title of "youth", not to mention that the ability to deal with relationships between people obviously does not change with age. Simple things that can grow naturally with the passage of time, he may not necessarily have relevant experience in his previous life even if he lives to old age and dies.
But he just wanted to complain about himself like this. Because the senior time travelers he watched had said similar things, he subconsciously felt that he should say this - as if doing so would make him appear extremely mature. Generally, although this is not the case.
Yuan Ye has always had a clear self-understanding of himself. He is indeed an extremely mediocre person with no talent. He was just lucky enough to get a chance to come back and the blessing of a golden finger. He would not be surprised if the popular styles on the Internet during that period generally had a lot of shady background. It could even be said that he should be surprised that there was no problem behind it.
And if this is really just an ordinary lucky break, there is nothing difficult to understand - well, for Yuan Ye who has always followed the principle of equal exchange, this is indeed a bit difficult to understand, so at the moment it is not easy to understand. Before discovering the existence of the mastermind, he could only regard it as a reward for dying to save people.
But even with this reason, Yuan Ye could not convince himself. After all, in his mind, these were two completely unequal things. If he was killed by a truck just because he was saving people, he would still be able to enjoy it. With a golden finger in his second life, this second life is too cheap. How is it any different from the reincarnation view believed in by Ah San, who was ridiculed in his previous life? Even Ah San didn't have to be hit by a truck. She only had to suffer for a lifetime. It was really a win.
Thinking about it now, this may be one of the driving forces behind Yuanye's idea of "wanting to do something beneficial to this world". He regards this time travel as a kind of repayment for his past, and also as a kind of repayment for his past. It's an overdraft for your future.
In a sense, thinking that one has some kind of important mission to complete is also a manifestation of the second grade—at most, it is an advanced second grade, but it is still the second grade.
"Minamoto-san is indeed a serious person who can make surprises in certain places."
Yagyu Sakura's words suddenly popped into Yuanye's mind without any warning.
"It seems that what she said is quite right. Could it be that she understands me quite well?" Yuanye chuckled, "No, when I think that there is a beautiful girl who can communicate with me, I feel a beating in my heart."
——But what qualifications does a person like me have to let a beautiful girl of this level take the initiative to understand me?
——People can never understand each other. This should be just a coincidence.
For some reason, although Yuanye delusionally imagined that the girl had special feelings for him, he subconsciously rejected Yagyu Sakura. Both of these thoughts were unusually stiff, as if they had been implanted - at least they didn't look like they were. Thoughts he would normally have.
But after Yuan Ye thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it. Although he still felt a little weird about it, when he thought that the word "confidence" had never been related to him, he felt that it was quite normal for him to think this way.
Yuan Ye gradually calmed down and straightened out his mentality again.
After waking up in the mansion, Yuan Ye felt quite refreshed. It was as if all the distracting thoughts that had continued during this period had been released. The raw feeling in his heart, like a gear running out of oil, had also been wiped away, and his thoughts became more vivid. .
——Maybe I really enjoyed the knee pillow service of a beautiful girl, so I slept so comfortably.
——It’s better not to daydream too much.
Genya just joked aimlessly in his heart and got on the train heading in the other direction.
He still has things to do.
…………
Yuanye came out of the love hotel and adjusted his collar.
Wearing school uniforms to deal with these gray area things is really weird, so it is very necessary to change clothes. It is cheap, has a bathroom, and protects privacy as a creed, so it is a love hotel that is unmanned and does not install any cameras. It's obviously a very good choice - especially since the hotel is in his name so there is no need to spend money.
This place is already on the edge of the Tokyo metropolitan area. The lack of official power has caused disorder here. Even because it does not belong to any large-scale Yakuza association with a name in the Edo Federation, it has even transformed into a Yakuza-led society. The dominant alien order has no chance.
The social environment is composed of small gangs spontaneously formed by various migrant Tokyo workers and the original violent local autonomous groups. Coupled with the buildings and infrastructure that have been in disrepair, this area is as advanced as 2077 in addition to network facilities. The word chaos is indeed the most appropriate word to describe the gray area in which the modern world is almost decoupled.
If it were closer to the core area of Tokyo, there would be strong official power to crush all spontaneous organizations and reduce them to pure natural people to form an atomized society. Even if it is not good enough, there would be Yakuza to make up for the absence to maintain a strange but basic order. , if we go further, the power of postmodernity fades, and spontaneous community groups spring up along with Yingzhou's consistent tradition of autonomy, following the ancient but proven template of modern or pre-modern times, based on blood or surname. Society is built out of bonds.
No matter what, a certain degree of order will still be maintained.
But in a perfectly located area like the edge of Tokyo, chaos has become synonymous with the environment. People in the core area of the Tokyo metropolitan area have a condescending attitude and use the word "edge area" to define this area. .
However, this kind of environment does make it easier for Yuan Ye to do what he wants to do.
After following the markings on the electronic map and twisting and turning between crowded and old buildings, and cutting off the mechanical prosthetic hands of the two pickpockets with the blade intended to cut his own pocket, Yuanye arrived at his destination.
