Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 45: Questions and Answers Across a Century
What does it feel like to walk in a bustling city?
For Lin Xuan, everything he has seen, heard, and felt so far in this night market.
There is no special feeling.

Apart from the sky of eternal night and the streets where the spirits from the [Demon Realm] have lived here for many years and have naturally blended into the architectural style.

There were several moments when Lin Xuan almost mistakenly believed that he had never traveled through time.

He is still the little anchor who, after finishing classes at that university, would go home, open the live broadcast room on his computer, and announce with a few words that he would climb the rankings today.

"The movie 'Magical Girls Sentai Suigetsu no Yume 4' starring the cat demon Rococo and actress Ichinosuke Mizuhara will be released next week."

He looked towards the cinema's posters and read out the title that was posted on the large billboard.

Lin Xuan looked at the beautiful girl who was wearing a magical girl style outfit and posing on the poster.

He sighed softly and murmured, "Wow, this is really a daring film. Magical girls and cat demons form an idol group to fight the demon king together."

"Aren't you afraid of being attacked through the Internet?"

I have to sigh that no matter which world we are in, human creativity is amazing.

This magical girl's outfit with cat ears?
Oh my god, it turns out that one day, in the [Demon's Netherworld], the human camp and the monster camp, which have been fighting for thousands of years, can be put together?
The two he had at the time were almost fighting each other every day, and he couldn't even dream of putting them in the same team.

Before the favorability is built up.

I was really afraid that during the fight, a system prompt would suddenly pop up: "Xingjian Jingli was stabbed thirteen times in the back. xxx Demon Slayer Swordsman informs you that she attempted suicide but failed and passed out."

The only thing Lin Xuan could be thankful for at that time was that the cards he drew were all very strong.

Those young female contracted spirits, besides having personality problems - no, considering that they survived and became legends despite the debuff of having personality problems, this might be a plus in terms of their combat power.

Most of them have comparable overall strength.

Therefore, even if a fight really breaks out, it is generally difficult to determine the winner, so there is no need to worry too much.

Well. Except that the copy he was playing would fail, and all previous progress would be wasted and had to be restarted, so he had to bear everything on his own.

Hey, let's not talk about it.

Then the little pearls will start to fall.

"Is it surprising?"

A light voice sounded in Lin Xuan's ears. The fox-eared girl stopped at some point and stood beside him.

She said calmly, "In the beginning, sensitive topics like this were indeed likely to offend the summoned spirits."

"But the league has legislated to prohibit filming."

"But later, as the number of contract spirits gradually increased along with the contract spirit masters, they have become a part of this civilization."

"Because of the flow between the battle lines, a large number of contracted spirits with broken time and space backgrounds will inevitably meet each other. And the huge difference in values ​​can easily lead to internal strife."

"It's better to block than to open up."

"Ever since that 'Alliance Chief' took office and pushed the Contract Spirit Promotion Act with all his strength, the problem has improved significantly by taking advantage of the subtle influence of the entire social atmosphere."

Even if it is a newly summoned spirit.

Due to the optimization of etheric magic, a lot of common sense can be known when being summoned.

Then take them on a tour of human society and let them feel the cultural influence that has been driven by the power of the entire civilization and took a whole century.

After completing the process

Even if the underlying ideas are difficult to change.
But at least, the spirits in the lawful good camp can barely suppress the desire to attack.

Even the crow Tengu named "Zhen Ling" beside Mu Yuqing is a pro-human monster, which was unimaginable in the past.

"how?"

A light voice sounded, and the fox-eared girl looked at Lin Xuan with her light golden eyes. She asked, "Dark Feather, is this the future you expect?"

"You once fought fearlessly and single-handedly resisted the erosion of several dimensions."

“Even if it fails in the end, it undoubtedly preserves the last spark of today’s civilization.”

"Now, they are just like what you described in the beginning. The spirits and humans can understand each other and live in harmony."

"Are you satisfied with this prosperous future?"

The surrounding streets are still noisy and bustling.

This is a movie theater, with a large number of people coming and going. From time to time, you can hear office workers making phone calls, flattering their bosses, and having resentment written all over their faces.

These people were ordinary people, but their existence itself proved the prosperity and peace that the fox-eared girl said.

In such a noisy environment, the two people standing in front of the cinema were covered by the mirror. The noise flowed past them like a stream, but could not wet their sleeves at all.

This is a question that spans over a hundred years.

The Contract Spirit who survived to this day asked the Contract Spirit Envoy who walked out from a century ago.

Are you disappointed when you see the current era?
"satisfy?"

The black-haired boy smiled, and he turned his head calmly to look at the golden pupils of the fox-eared girl.

He looked her straight in the face without wavering or avoiding her gaze.

It's like seeing deeper and farther. In those calm eyes, all the truth is exposed.

He smiled calmly and said, "You asked me what I think of this kind of people who ignore the facts, ignore the world map that has been forced into a corner, and indulge in the beautiful fantasy woven by the majority called "society" and are unwilling to wake up."

"As long as we don't see the enemy, then I have it. Anyway, we have the Spirit Envoy to keep the enemy out of the territory. There have been no problems in the past half century, so there is no tension in the whole atmosphere."

"Everyone holds hands, sings and dances together, until the sleeping beast becomes hungry again, and then everyone sings together to welcome the destruction of modern society—"

"Are you satisfied with this? Are you?"

The gentle and plain words seemed to tear apart the illusion that one had seen since entering Linye City in the most cruel way.

There was a bloody mess that no one dared to look at.

What he tells is reality.

All the peaceful atmosphere in modern society is like a fragile poker tower, built on the premise that "the broken time and space will stop eroding the outside world."

If this is the basis of the origin, it will be blown down like a gust of wind.

Then all the beautiful and prosperous visions will be burned by the fire and collapse in an instant.

Everything that was lost will be reduced to ashes.

"."

The fox-eared girl seemed not to have expected him to say that and fell into a brief silence.

She lowered her eyes and thought casually, it is true.

Even if it was the person who told her that there was hope and trust between humans, and that she could show her true self even without wrapping it in lies.

After coming back to life, he witnessed with his own eyes the drunken and dreamless human society.

Clearly saw an era sliding towards destruction.

After all the previous efforts turned into nothingness.

It's probably only natural to feel disappointed and disillusioned with human beings, right?

"So, what do you do next..." The fox-eared girl kept her expression calm, maintaining the "character" she played, and was about to say something else.

But the black-haired boy suddenly smiled.

His previous cold and rational expression was like that of a superior chess player looking indifferently at a hopeless chess game, or the expression of a surgeon coldly sentencing a death sentence.

Suddenly, as if it was a harmless little joke, it was filled with the youthful vigor of the breeze and the moon.

Lin Xuan smiled easily.

He replied calmly and confidently, "Yes, of course my answer is..."

"Yes, I am very satisfied, and that is enough."

“Even better than I thought.”

It was originally planned to be put on the shelves next Monday, but the editor suddenly said that another small loudspeaker could be arranged.

So I will probably have to maintain the 4,000 words free for another week (although I can’t control the word count at all, often one chapter has more than 3,000 words).

The update frequency cannot be fast enough.

But I still hope that everyone will read more, so that the background data can look better, and please take care of the first order when the time comes.
