I loaded the dream game

So, if we continue to use the process of elimination...

"Of course it's her, who else could it be?" The girl looked at Yang Noi beside her and said curiously.

"Eh?"

Yang Nai was stunned for a moment.

Xia Zhi looked at her chest thoughtfully. After concentrating his attention, he indeed saw a light blue flame of existence in her body, swaying gently like a torch in the cold wind, tiny and fragile.

"I see……"

Xia Zhi finally reacted.

"…So that's why Yang No can move freely in the seal, and can also directly see the power of existence?"

The so-called "Torch" is made by the Fire Mist Warriors or the Red World Apostles using the remaining power of the disappeared people, and is set up in the human world as a substitute.

Since the information about the existence of objects is closely connected, when the existence of life disappears out of thin air, an information gap will be created, resulting in a sense of disharmony. When this sense of disharmony accumulates to a certain extent, it will lead to distortion and affect the balance between the present world and the red world. In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to set up torches to allow the disappeared life to continue to exist in this world, so as to ease this contradiction.

In other words, the individual who becomes a "torch" is actually "dead" in a sense.

"A substitute for someone who doesn't exist in this world..."

To some extent, it is indeed quite similar to Yang No's current situation.

Is it because of this compatibility that the dream game set her identity in this copy as a torch?

Xia Zhi guessed this in his heart, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes when he looked at the flames leaping on Yang Nai's chest.

So, what kind of treasure is housed in there?

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yang No for advice and said, "Do you mind if I touch you, Yang No-senpai?"

Yang Nai took a deep breath and a bright smile appeared on her face:

"What do you think?".

Chapter 279 What’s your name?

Xia Zhi realized that there might be a small problem in the way he expressed himself, which led to some unexpected errors in the communication of the meaning of his words.

Fortunately, Yang Nai obviously knew this and didn't need him to explain further, so she didn't continue to delve into the matter. Instead, she changed the subject with her usual smile, and it seemed that she didn't take the matter to heart at all.

This shows the difference between her and her sister. If it were Yukino, Xia Zhi would probably not dare to go back to the apartment for a while.

Despite this, Xia Zhi still has to sigh that language, as a carrier of recording and transmitting information, has inherent limitations that mean humans are unable to fully convey what they are thinking to others.

In other words, it is not your fault if you fail to express your meaning clearly. While the wall of the heart gives each person an independent personality, it also cuts off the possibility of direct spiritual communication between people.

"Sure enough, there is no way for people to understand each other."

Sitting on the rooftop, Xia Zhi looked at the starry sky above his head and sighed.

"..."

The girl next to him looked at the boy who suddenly began to sigh with a strange look and frowned slightly, not quite understanding what was wrong with him.

"I can understand Xia Zhi!" Ai Lu Ke immediately said that he was an exception.

"You're not human."

Xia Zhi once again emphasized the scope of application of his previous words.

Ai Luke was stunned for a moment, thought about it and it seemed to be true. He said "Oh" softly and fell silent again.

"..."

The relationship between these two is so strange... It's completely different from the relationship between me and Alastor.

No, it's different from other Fire Mist Warriors.

The girl thought to herself.

It felt like the relationship between them was not one of dependence or affiliation, nor of partnership and friendship, but more like a closer relationship than that...but the girl couldn't say what it was exactly.

"Speaking of which, there's a sofa downstairs, why did you have to come to the rooftop?"

Just as she was thinking in distress, the boy's doubtful voice suddenly came to her ears.

"none of your business."

The girl made no effort to hide her unhappy mood and said something sullenly. Then, she glanced at Xia Zhi and said:

"Besides, didn't you come here yourself?"

"To be honest, I came here to repair the water pipes in the apartment." Xia Zhi showed her the tools in his hand and said seriously, "Look, I even brought a wrench with me."

Doesn't this statement make it seem like you are the one doing nothing?

Normally, the girl shouldn't care about this kind of thing, but for some reason, looking at the look of the boy in front of her, she felt inexplicably unhappy.

"But if we need to repair the pipes, a wrench alone won't be enough, right?" Alastor spoke up for the girl.

"Indeed... let's not repair it for now." Xia Zhi said after thinking about it.

"..."

Sure enough, this guy is just teasing me, right?

"you……"

The girl raised her head unhappily and was about to glare at Xia Zhi, but found that the other party had come to her side without her knowing.

"Excuse me, could you please give up your seat?"

The polite question in her ear made the girl slightly stunned. She nodded subconsciously, and then quickly reacted:

"no!"

Why should I give him my seat? Besides, aren't there so many empty seats next to him?

The girl stared at him angrily and thought to herself.

"Please give me a seat."

"do not want!"

"How about moving it a little to the left by twenty centimeters?"

"Not so good! Besides, isn't that what it means?"

"I see..." Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then looked at her and continued, "If you don't give me a seat, I'm going to smash all the bakeries in the city tomorrow."

Alastair: "..."

Is this person a demon? How could anyone use this as a threat?

Even so, the girl was unwilling to give in. She stared into his eyes and said, "When the time comes, I will definitely stop you!"

"Is this also the duty of a fire mist warrior?" Xia Zhi asked.

The girl was slightly startled, and after hesitating for a moment, she looked at him firmly and said, "No... This is a decision I made out of my own will."

"A personal decision..." Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, looked at the girl and asked curiously: "But, can this behavior of using the power of the contracted demon king to satisfy one's own selfish desires also be regarded as abusing power for personal gain?"

"Eh...?" The girl was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this before.

"Of course not. After all, she is using the power to stop you from using the power of the Red World to do evil things." Alastor spoke up to rescue the girl.

"What if I don't do it myself, but hire ordinary people to smash the store?" Xia Zhi's thoughts gradually became Zhang San's.

"Ooooh...you're so annoying!"

Always assuming this and that.

The girl shook her head irritably, stared at him and shouted: "Anyway, I will definitely stop you when the time comes!"

"That's it..."

Xia Zhi chuckled, sat down next to the girl, looked up at the starry sky above his head, and said softly with deep meaning: "Then I'll trouble you when the time comes, Shana."

"..."

The girl subconsciously ignored the first half of his sentence and focused on the way he addressed her afterwards.

"..."...Shana?"

"There must be a name, right? You didn't tell me your name." Xia Zhi said as a matter of course.

"...I don't need that kind of thing."

The girl lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't want anyone to see her eyes. She played with the pendant on her chest with one hand and replied in a low voice: "I am a warrior who has made a contract with Alastair, that's all..."

"If you need to distinguish, just call me "The Killer with Flaming Hair and Burning Eyes" or the Fire Mist of Zhidian Zana..."

Yes, I don’t need a name.

"..."

Alastair in the pendant was also silent at this time.

"... special treatment?" Xia Zhi tilted his head and asked in a nonchalant tone.

"No way!" The girl turned around immediately and glared at him unhappily.

How can this person be so disgusting?

"Obviously everyone has a name, and it's very convenient to call each other, but you said you don't need a name and asked everyone to call you by those troublesome code names. Isn't this making things special?" Xia Zhi looked at her strangely and asked.

The girl was speechless for a moment. Although she did not have that idea subjectively, she had to admit that there was nothing wrong with Xia Zhi's logic.

"Besides, since you don't care about your name, then it doesn't matter what I call you, right?" Xia Zhi continued.

"...Whatever you say." The girl snorted and turned away sullenly.

"Like it?"

"dislike!"

"That's what I'll call you then."

"..."

This person is really annoying.

The girl puffed up her cheeks slightly and thought unhappily to herself.

On the other side, at the moment when the girl's name was confirmed, a line of subtitles appeared in front of Xia Zhi's eyes:

[The current main task has been opened]

"..."

That's right...

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi looked at the girl again, and after thinking for a while, he reminded her: "By the way, 'Xia' is also my last name."

"..."

At this moment, the girl made a decision silently in her heart——

I will never admit this name! .
