In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

“And in humans, there is gravity.

“Each of us has our own position, and gravity will push us to the predetermined position and meet the predetermined people.

"Do you think that our meeting is meaningful?"

Yoshino Junpei stroked his chin and thought deeply, then answered seriously:

"I think you're talking about fate rather than gravity.

"But whether it's gravity or fate, I think I probably believe in it."

"Make a deal."

Kira Yoshikage stared at the boy and said softly, "In about two months or three months, you will meet someone under the guidance of gravity. By then, he will take the initiative to approach you and pretend to affirm you. And I hope you can get along well with him and tell me about it. Of course, you can't tell him anything about me, not even my name."

Yoshino Junpei became increasingly confused and hesitated:

"This... feels more and more like fate. What will happen next? What will you do?"

Kirara Yoshikage said calmly:

“That’s what’s outside of the deal.”

Yoshino Junpei lowered his head in silence, but still raised his head in confusion:

"Okay, then I won't ask. What about his name? You have to tell me what his name is, right? Otherwise, how do I know he's the person you're looking for?"

Kirara Yoshikage looked at him and said calmly:

“I’m not going to tell you his name or what he looks like.

"But he has one very recognisable feature, he has a lot of sutures all over his body."

Yoshino Junpei silently memorized this feature in his mind, and did not ask why a person has sutures all over his body, but he still asked curiously:

"So you won't kill me?"

Kirara Yoshikage asked back:

"Why should I kill you?"

Yoshino Junpei was silent for a moment, then said:

"I am an eyewitness."

Kirara Yoshikage asked again:

"Witness what?"

Yoshino Junpei opened his mouth. What did he witness?

There was no body, not even any blood. Maybe there were fingerprints on the chair, but what did that prove?

Even if he called the police, who would believe him?

Yoshino Junpei asked again:

"What about the surveillance outside?"

Without waiting for Kirara Yoshikage to speak, he muttered to himself, "I know the location of the monitoring room. I can take you there. Although destroying it directly will still arouse suspicion, the police can't do anything to us as long as there is no evidence."

Kira Yoshikage looked calm:

“Don’t worry about the surveillance, it’s connected to the internet.

"So, you want to make a deal with me?"

Yoshino Junpei didn't understand for a moment what the difference was between being connected to the Internet and not being connected, but he still nodded solemnly:

"make a deal!"

He held out his hand to Kira Yoshikage.

Kirara Yoshikage did not shake hands with him, but took out his cell phone and said calmly:

“Let’s add LINE.”

He had no interest in a man's hands.

Chapter 121 Nino: I’m so angry, I’m training, what are you doing?

After adding LINE, Kira Yoshikage suddenly asked:

"Do you want to continue watching the movie?"

Yoshino Junpei was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Ah, I plan to finish watching this movie. I think it's very interesting and I don't want to waste this opportunity."

Shimazaki Yuna blinked, so Yoshino Junpei was probably the type that Kira-kun mentioned, "bored with a peaceful life and looking for excitement"?

It seems like when she watched this movie, she didn't find anything interesting about this kind of bizarre movie.

And ah.

Isn't he a little too calm?

After all, someone just died in front of him, and he could see the "explosion", so isn't he afraid at all?

Or was this person abnormal from the beginning?

Shimazaki Yuna didn't know the answer, nor did she really want to know.

"Yuna."

Kira Yoshikage pulled the girl back to her seat in the corner and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally made this mistake."

"It's okay."

The girl shook her head slightly, her bright purple eyes looking at Kira Yoshikage tenderly, smiling faintly, "After all, it's their fault, not Kira-kun's."

Kirara Yoshikage gently held up the girl's white jade-like hand and asked softly:

"Yuna, do you know anything about psychic powers?"

Shimazaki Yuna's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked curiously:

"Psychic power? Is it something similar to magic that is common in light novel settings?"

"similar,"

Kirara Yoshikage slightly:

“Fighting spirit, magic, spiritual power, cursed power, divine power, whatever you call it, they are essentially different manifestations of spiritual energy.

"There are special human psychics who possess psychic powers in this world, and there are also 'spirits' made of psychic powers. The birth of 'spirits' is closely related to humans. For example, because people are afraid of the 'slit-mouthed woman' and 'Hanako' in urban legends, they really exist."

"Wait a moment!"

Shimazaki Yuna's hand, held by Kira Yoshikage, slightly tightened, and her voice trembled, "So the slit-mouthed woman and Hanako really exist?"

"Ah, almost all of the 'ghosts' in famous urban legends are real. In layman's terms, 'ghosts' are all generated based on human negative emotions, so most of them are grudge spirits or 'cursed spirits', and only a very small number of gods enshrined in shrines are 'good spirits'.

Shimazaki Yuna subconsciously looked at the strange-looking monster on the big screen:

"Then the earthworm people also exist?"

"That's not it."

Kirara Yoshikage shook his head and explained softly, "The most important factor in producing a 'spirit' is not confirmation, but falsification.

"As long as humans cannot disprove something, it is likely to be real. For example, the urban legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman. Although no one can prove the existence of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, no one can disprove it either.

"Because it cannot be disproven, people's fear of the slit-mouthed woman will gradually coalesce into the image of the 'slit-mouthed woman'.

“But the fear that comes with movies is different because movies can be falsified from the outset.”

Shimazaki Yuna was thoughtful.

Although movies can be made to be very scary, the actors in the movies are real. People who watch movies already know that the movies are fake before entering the theater. Although they are afraid, they don’t worry every day whether the stories in the movies are real.

In contrast, urban legends that are uncredited, without actors appearing in them, and that appear out of nowhere are often much more difficult to disprove. Even if someone spends time and effort to disprove those urban legends, it is still impossible to convince everyone.

Some people will inevitably raise doubts. What if the so-called "falsification" is just a lie released by the government to appease the people? Even if we take a step back, who can prove that the evidence you falsified is true?

Therefore, if you want to disprove something, you not only need to disprove the thing itself, but you also need evidence to prove your disproveness.

This is like the classic nesting doll problem:

How do you prove that you are you? And how do you prove that your father is your father?

For those classic urban legends, even if you list countless pieces of evidence, as long as there are still people who raise doubts, the matter will still remain in doubt and still cannot be completely disproven, and new "slit-mouthed women" will still be born.

After all, it has been like this since ancient times. It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.

Conspiracy theories have always been popular and enduring, no matter where they are.

Shimazaki Yuna couldn't help but whisper:

“Isn’t this almost unsolvable?”

Humans cannot prove that ghosts do not exist, because something that does not exist cannot be proven.

But those who believe in the existence of ghosts do not need evidence. They do not even need to believe that ghosts really exist. Just doubt can lead to the existence of ghosts.

As for science.

Science can't explain everything.

Even in the 21st century when technology is so advanced, there are still at least 70 billion people out of the world's 60 billion people who believe in various religions.

Even among the remaining 10 billion people without religious beliefs, the vast majority of them are not staunch atheists. They still doubt the existence of gods and ghosts.

And this kind of doubt is itself a belief in gods and ghosts - if you don't believe that they exist, why doubt it?

Yoshikage Tsukiya said softly:

“It’s unsolvable, but it’s not completely unsolvable.

“It’s impossible to disprove urban legends, but not all urban legends become popular. Since the Meiji era, there are probably tens of thousands of urban legends in Japan alone.

“There are probably only a dozen urban legends that have survived and are widely known. And the many forgotten urban legends are essentially ‘dead’. As long as no one talks about them, they will never be born.

“The same is true for gods. As long as no one believes in and worships them anymore, they will gradually die out.

"Japan claims to have eight million gods, but today there are only 80,000 shrines across the country, and a large number of them are dedicated to the same gods. If you count them carefully, there are probably only a few thousand gods that are actually still being worshipped. Many more gods have long been forgotten in the long river of history and have completely disappeared.

"The same fate has also beenfallen the monsters that have been widely spread in Japan since ancient times. The two volumes of Mizuki Shigeru's Monster Encyclopedia contain a total of 718 monsters, but this is still not all the monsters that have appeared in Japanese history. Many more monsters have long been forgotten.

"But even with these 718 kinds of monsters, how many people can remember them all? Most people can only remember the most famous ones, such as Kappa, Flying Head Man, Nura... The vast majority of the remaining monsters have long been forgotten by people.

"Compared to gods, the presence of monsters in modern times is very weak. Various urban legends have basically replaced their ecological niche. As time goes by, I am afraid that sooner or later, monsters will be completely forgotten, and then monsters will usher in their true 'death'."

Shimazaki Yuna suddenly remembered a famous quote she saw on the Internet:

A person will experience three deaths in his life.

The first time is when the heart stops beating, and biologically speaking, the person is dead.

The second time was at the funeral, when people who knew this person came to pay their respects, which declared that everything this person had in society was wiped out.

The third time is the real death. That is, when the last person in the world who remembers you dies, then you are truly dead.

From a biological point of view, monsters may never be truly alive, and their death will not be mourned by relatives and friends.

So the monster doesn't need to go through the first two deaths.

For them, there is only one true death, and that is when there is no one in this world who can remember them.

"That,"

Shimazaki Yuna seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Does the degree of belief in these 'weird things' affect their 'formation'?"

Kirara Yoshikage held up the girl's fair little hand and kissed it gently, and explained softly to the girl's slightly red cheek:

"Of course there is an impact, and it's not just the degree of people's faith that is different, but also the differences in the faith of different individuals.

"In Japan, it is widely believed that vengeful spirits can be divided into five levels according to their strength. The lowest is level 4, and the next levels are level 3, level 2, level 1, and special level. For example, the slit-mouthed woman can only become a special level if she absorbs the 'doubt' and 'belief' of hundreds of millions of people in Japan.

"From a dialectical point of view, it can be understood that 'quantitative change is the necessary preparation for qualitative change, and qualitative change is the inevitable result of quantitative change.' Hundreds of millions of people's 'doubt' about quantitative change eventually led to the birth of the 'qualitative change' result of the Slit-Mouth Woman.

"If only 1 million people believe in the existence of the Slit-mouthed Woman, then the Slit-mouthed Woman might only be level . Because the attenuation of quantitative change will also lead to the attenuation of qualitative change.

"But some people can cause a qualitative change just by themselves, and they can create a special-grade vengeful spirit by themselves!"

Kira Yoshikage paused slightly. He was talking about the God of Pure Love.

According to the theory of the magic world, the magic power of a magician will not produce a "curse" because their magic power flows towards themselves.
