"The Summer of the Guhuo Bird", his greatest impression of this book also stopped at the first three pages of the novel.

Although he does not have dyslexia, in the era of short videos on mobile phones, he really prefers to watch things that waste life and time, and as for texts, he follows the principle of "too long, don't read".

Even if I know it is useful to me, I can't concentrate on it.

Sometimes Xia Shu would think, if he traveled back to his childhood, would he really be able to study hard and take exams patiently, and eventually become an upper-class person. Whenever he thought of this, he felt that traveling to a parallel world was indeed a more reliable thing.

The reason why excellent people are excellent is because of themselves, and has nothing to do with time. Fantasizing about going back to the past and starting over is actually no different from "tomorrow and tomorrow". It is never too late to start getting better now.

But if he really went back to the past, he would definitely choose to take shortcuts instead of working hard.

"Wait for a long time?"

"Half an hour" she can always maintain a respectful attitude when she meets 'next time'.

"Shouldn't you have said, 'Ah, I just got here'?"

Ichika Furudera closed the book and glanced at him. Because of his height, Natsuki strongly felt that the other party was rolling his eyes at him.

"We are on a date!" Xia Shu took the initiative to grab her hand.

There was no refusal, but the little hand held in Xia Shu's hand was a little stiff.

Yeah, dating, it seems like it’s never happened before.

The two sides either cooperate on grand events like "saving the world" or exchange ideas on small matters like "come on", "good", and "do it". There is no other communication at all.

After thinking about this, Xia Shu suddenly felt that he was indeed a scumbag.

This was confirmed on two girls one day at a time.

He doesn't plan to change yet.

"Don't you have something to talk to me about?" She turned her head and came closer as she spoke. There was a very special "fasting bath" scent on her body. After careful identification, Xia Shu remembered that it was a "flavor" when he bought incense sticks for Kayako, Kayako.

When being with one girl, he is still thinking about the other two. What a scumbag.

Natsuki noticed that Ichika's way of speaking had softened a bit, no longer wanting to keep people at a distance like before... at least she wasn't wanting to keep a long stride away from him.

It seemed like they were sitting next to each other very naturally, just like an ordinary couple.

"I think it's a big deal to get caught in the rain with you."

He said, grabbing Ichika's hand and walking out to the street.

In fact, he felt a little guilty when he said it, speaking sweet words to girls was Natsuki's "strong point", after all, he couldn't do anything else except that in his previous life. But after communicating with Hojo Rinko today, he realized that the relationship between him and the close women around him seemed to only stay on the word "sex".

When you are not familiar with each other, you don’t feel anything when talking, and you don’t have any psychological burden. But when there is negative distance contact, some words will feel greasy when they come out of your mouth.

Fortunately, Yihua didn't resist too much.

Under the dim street lights, the drizzle can be seen clearly.

The two walked hand in hand for a while, but their hair didn't even get wet, just covered with a thin layer of mist.

There was no talking, but the atmosphere was just right.

No matter what others think, this scene should be beautiful in the eyes of these two people.

What to do on a date?

Walking, watching a movie, eating, and finally... having sex.

Modular and highly repeatable.

You basically can't go wrong if you follow the routine... I think.

"Click!" Flames flew out of the lighter.

Xia Shu leaned against the bed and lit a cigarette.

"I clearly planned to make an effort to date first and make up for the relationship experience I skipped before."

He looked at the ancient temple Ichika standing beside him and sighed in his heart.

Things always develop beyond expectations.

"We are already in that kind of relationship." Ichika turned her head, her expression like a rich woman who was about to give a reward to a duck, with an expression that said "You are in good health, I will give you a steel wool."

Especially after hearing Sage Natsuki speak out his plan while smoking, Ichika's expression became even calmer: "So there's no need to start with a relationship. Isn't it just for sex in the end?"

What you said makes a lot of sense, I can't refute it.

"I'm going to take a shower!"

Looking at Ichika Furuji who walked towards the bathroom with her bare buttocks in a cool and neat manner after leaving a few words, Natsuki took a deep puff and then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"I'm really being pretentious." He stood up and said, "Yika, let's take a shower together!"

Since you want to enter the old married couple mode, don't blame me for being too demanding!

Ichika walked towards the hotel bathroom, slammed the door shut, blocking Natsuki's gaze from outside the door, then she pulled the corners of her mouth wordlessly, then reached out and pressed her bulging apple cheeks.

In fact, she didn't know how to fall in love. Both of them didn't have enough time, and they had just been taking what they wanted from each other from the beginning. But after hearing Xia Shu say that he planned to make up for the relationship later, she tried to hold back the corners of her mouth several times, and almost failed.

I have to say, when a man says to you in a serious tone, "I want to make up for my date with you," that feeling of joy really makes you unable to help but feel happy from the bottom of your heart.

Nothing else, just very happy.

Fortunately, her iceberg queen mode allowed her to maintain her image. Even if they were already very familiar with each other, was there anything wrong with expressing resistance and then enjoying the feeling of being pursued by sweet words?

Life is not long enough to waste on this, but it is always possible to listen to some of Xia Shu's true words.

She is also a human being.

"Click" the door suddenly opened a crack.

Xia Shu half poked his head in.

"What are you doing?" Ichika Furuji immediately suppressed the corner of her mouth.

"Let's wash together to save water." Xia Shu looked at her cheek in confusion: "Are you okay?"

"fine"

"Oh, let's go together then."

Chapter 238: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Silent Hill

On the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, Natsuki stood alone on the platform.

The tram roared along the tracks into the misty rain, deep into the endless darkness.

After the "substitute love", he and Ichika Furudera broke up immediately. Ichika Furudera had to be busy again. Love was a luxury in her increasingly shorter life, and being able to vent stress physically seemed selfish to her.

Therefore, confessing and falling in love are not realistic for the two of them.

In response to Natsuki's questions about the other world and dreams, especially after learning that he had spent two full months in a dream, Ichika Furudera recommended a friend to Natsuki.

"He is a research maniac. He has dabbled in folklore, science, and theology. Don't be too surprised when you meet him."

Find someone who really knows what they are doing.

Xia Shu was also very clear that he could not even be considered a novice. From being cursed to becoming a ghost story curser, he had nothing to do with being an "expert".

Following the address, he arrived at a four-story building.

If you can live in a high-end private house in this area, you must be rich.

"Hiss, huh" he exhaled a breath of hot air.

It's a bit cold if there's too much drizzle.

He rubbed his hands, shifted his gaze away from the peculiarly shaped round door, and reached out to ring the doorbell.

The doorbell didn't ring.

Xia Shu looked at the door, pushed it tentatively, and the door wobbled open.

After entering the house and walking through the unattended yard, I found that the door of the house was not closed but was open.

"Excuse me," Xia Shu leaned forward and tried to find a change of slippers. It was very impolite to enter someone else's room with wet shoes and leave mud marks.

The sound lingered in the house and echoed.

"There won't be any furniture at all."

Not finding the slippers, Xia Shu walked in, of course with his left hand on the scabbard.

It doesn't matter if it's impolite, but he's doing this to "save the world." He suddenly found that this high-sounding reason was really impressive. With the title of saving the world, not only does he stand on the moral high ground, he won't have any psychological burden in doing anything.

Anyway, I am trying to save the world, so I will forgive myself first. If you don’t forgive me, you are not letting me save the world. I will use moral blackmail on you, hey!

Just as Natsuki suspected, many of the houses were empty.

You will see a huge room only when you walk to the end. It is called "huge" because this room has four floors connected from top to bottom, just like a spiral staircase.

It is a very odd four-story duplex apartment.

The walls around were hung with various things, and on the north wall was a huge yellow cloth that stretched from the height of the fourth floor to the ground.

On the yellow cloth, there was a long string of weird symbols written in red handwriting, which was quite shocking.

But the things were useless, because as a ghost story teller, Natsuki didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

Just like Ichika Furudera said, the owner here is an "expert" and has many props related to theology, metaphysics, etc.

For example, a cross, a Bible, a mahogany sword, a voodoo doll... a Gojo Satoru figurine, huh?!

When Xia Shu turned around, he found some strange things, including various figures, comics and novels. His artificial eyes confirmed that the person was a otaku.

Then he noticed the man in the white coat.

He had heavy bags under his eyes, and his face, which hadn't seen the sun for years, looked pale and bloodless.

He had been standing aside and watching without saying anything since Xia Shu came in, until Xia Shu's gaze shifted to him, he spoke.

"who are you?"

"Natsuki, Ichika introduced me here."

"Ichika?" The man was puzzled: "Who is it?"

"Ichika Furuji, a very beautiful woman with long hair." He really didn't know how to describe it. Did he go to the wrong place?

"?" The other party was still confused.

Xia Shu scanned the other person's bookshelf for a long time, then fixed his eyes on a comic book. He took out the comic book, flipped through a few pages, and pointed at the image on it: "Looks like her!"
