Tokyo Sound

"On the surface, I am just an ordinary member of the society passing by, but secretly I am a senior magician who works in the Meteorological Bureau and can control the weather." Yin Ze said quickly, "If you refuse to accept my help, I can directly cast a forbidden spell to call for sunny days and solve the problem perfectly."

"This is a serious answer. Do you, junior, really think that magic exists in reality?" Hidaka Rina accused.

"In reality, are there really people who are stubborn and unyielding?" Yin Ze retorted, then paused. It seems that there really could be...

"Okay, let's get started." Hidaka Rina clapped her hands like a director, signaling each group to take action.

The staff's actions are very terrifying. They even released a soundtrack of rainy days, which sounded like eggs fried in hot oil in a frying pan.

The younger former child star has already entered the role at lightning speed, transforming into a young girl who is soaked to the skin. She pulls her messy hair, covers her shoulders, shivers in the cold wind, and keeps looking around, as if she wants to call a taxi.

Moriki Hiroshi snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and the background sound was immediately joined by a rumbling thunder that shook the earth and the atmosphere of the live broadcast was in place again.

Being pushed into a corner and waiting to attack, Master Yin, who was the center of attention, now felt very complicated.

Chapter 149 World Famous Paintings Part 4

The winter wind howled in the evening, and then the sky became dark and thunderous. Rain clouds gathered, blocking the moonlight, and the hazy drizzle connected the ground and the dark sky.

The weather was ferocious, and now the rain was pouring in like an ocean. There were no gaps between the raindrops, and it was like straight streams of water running through the sky and the earth.

Heavy rain began to wash the whole world.

The weather is like a girl’s mind, changing so quickly from cloudy to sunny that even the weather forecast is useless.

The world is empty and silent.

The once bustling commercial streets were now empty, with only modern buildings made of cast steel and iron standing tall in the wind and rain, looking like huge reefs from a distance. The drains at the corners of the streets were gurgling with water, trying to divert rainwater into the sewer system.

The whole city was dominated by rain, with thunder booming from time to time, and flashes of lightning burning everything into white light, only to return to darkness a second later. The ever-burning neon lights were diluted into a continuous rainbow halo, but like a small lightship swaying on the Black Sea, it seemed that it would soon be swallowed up.

Akana Rina stood under the narrow eaves of a roadside shop, staring at the emptiness of the moment, with both of her hands in the pockets of her warm coat.

"It's so cold..."

The girl had been standing here for half an hour. She had a feeling that it would rain heavily in the afternoon, but the numerous tasks made it impossible to leave work on time. The picky and demanding section chief might have been scolded by his boss again, and he took his anger out on ordinary employees.

Akana Rina stared blankly at the black rain outside. Huddled here, like a young bird nestling in an eggshell, looking at the huge and dangerous outside world, instinctively fearing and instinctively avoiding.

Peace and tranquility are rare. It has been a long time since I finished reading a book, had a cup of tea, or laughed until tears came out of my eyes while chatting with my bestie.

After more than ten years of graduation, many of my friends have married and become full-time housewives, no longer carrying bags or baskets, and their makeup styles have become more stable and restrained. Those lively male classmates are always frowning, not only losing their hair, but also gradually developing sideways in body shape.

My parents are still nagging me as always, but now they are focusing on my marriage instead of my studies. Every year on my birthday, my parents' sense of crisis grows exponentially, because I am one step closer to becoming an unwanted leftover woman.

When family members call, "Have you found a boyfriend?" has replaced "Have you eaten?" and has become the first greeting that parents use.

Love is love, marriage is marriage. It is a big mistake to treat the two as the same thing.

Memories are like this, vague but deeply embedded in the heart. Although you seem to remember everything, you cannot remember all the details clearly. Memories are naughty and disgusting. They keep atomizing themselves, and in the end only the strongest emotion or just an impression remains.

The song playing in the headphones was "First Love" by Koji Tamaki. The singer, who was born in Hokkaido, seemed to carry a chill of loneliness in his voice. It made people hear the ending of a broken heart in the song called "First Love".

Sometimes she really thinks a lot.

For example, now, when I heard this song, I suddenly thought of who my first love was for no reason.

Is he the handsome senior from the basketball team back then?

Unfortunately, the young girl who was full of love has been turned into a half-yellow-faced woman by the high pressure in the workplace. Now she is facing the bald section chief. Time spares no one.

Really good, the slicked-back, charming and mischievous pedantic section chief is really good~

Even the golden music in the headphones couldn't cover up the section chief's annoyingness.

Akaname Rina took off her headphones irritably. She leaned forward, the wind whistling and her flying hair was instantly wet.

I really wanted to get home and rest as soon as possible, but I waited for a long time and still couldn't find a taxi. I wanted to rush out and run home, but the rain was getting heavier. If I went in headfirst, I would be soaked in just a few seconds.

If you catch a cold, it's impossible to take a leave.

Thinking that she might have to work for several days with a cold, a runny nose and feeling weak all over, she decided not to bother and just wait for the bus.

However, I don’t know if everyone was trying to stop a car. I waited patiently for a while, but still got nothing.

In loneliness.

A drowned loser who longed for freedom suddenly joined in. He was really embarrassed as he covered his head in vain to block the rain. The narrow roof could barely accommodate two people.

Akana Rina glanced at the person who came to take shelter from the rain. His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead like an octopus. When he saw her staring at him, he raised his head and smiled flatteringly. She was nervous and moved away without saying a word.

The lightning flashed again, illuminating the isolated roof, and the rumbling thunder followed closely behind, like a drum cheering behind the army of rain.

"What a coincidence, you are also hiding from the rain here." said the man kindly.

"No need to be clever, you can leave." Akaname Rina was not in a good mood.

The man was choked for a few seconds, then put on a pure expression again, "The world is so big, but we are lucky enough to meet each other, it's also fate. The rain is heavy, we are all unlucky, why bother to chase people away?"

"Then I'll leave?" Akaname Rina raised her eyebrows.

The man pursed his lips, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he seemed a little aggrieved, but he still managed to say, "This lovely and straightforward lady really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"It's so weird and I don't know what it means." Akaname Rina frowned and was about to step into the rain, intending to stay away from this person.

The man quickly reached out to dissuade him, "Don't go."

"What do you want to do?" Akana Rina remained alert. "There's no reason. Why won't you let me go?"

"Reason?" The man paused for a moment, thinking for a moment, and then pointed to the sky with a serious expression. "The high-altitude clouds and rain and lightning have strong energy, which causes the nitrogen and oxygen in the air to partially combine to form nitric oxide, which is then oxidized into nitrogen dioxide in the troposphere."

"So what?" Akaname Rina was at a loss.

"Nitrogen dioxide is one of the causes of acid rain." The man explained, "I was only in the rain for a few minutes, but my skin has been corroded. This is assuming that I have thick skin. I really can't bear to see such a delicate and beautiful lady get red spots and sores."

"...Is there still such a thing?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Well, okay then." Rina Akaname's idea of ​​running away was dispelled by scientific wisdom, so she had to shrink back.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his body, and moved slightly closer. "This rain will not stop for a while. The wind and rain are bitter, and it is inevitable that people will feel cold. It is boring to stand there. It is rare for us to meet. Why don't we chat to kill time?"

"I'm not interested in spending time with a strange man." Akana Rina refused coldly, "Sir, please respect yourself."

"We were strangers a minute ago, but now we know each other and will soon become familiar with each other. Why should we limit ourselves to the life we ​​are used to? Life is short, so we should boldly touch the beautiful things we have never touched before, and have a grand encounter that is enough to calm the rainstorm and is as hot as fire."

The man smiled and reached out to comb his wet hair back. His micro-expressions were just right, looking unrestrained and charming, like a poet reciting a line from the Manyoshu, showing his cultural heritage.

"There is faint thunder and a gloomy sky. But I hope the wind and rain will come and keep you here."

That confidence is particularly dazzling. I guess the green mountains are so charming to me, and I guess the green mountains should feel the same way about me. That's what I mean.

Upon hearing this, the lady could not help but fold her hands because of the chill.

"Too bad, such a cheap way of chatting up someone." Akana Rina was very disdainful and didn't bother to look at him. "Your face looks like a sloth. I really don't know where you got the confidence to play the domineering male lead in an idol drama."

The man's charming smile froze immediately, his eyes changed from astonishment to solemnity and then to confirmation, "W-what? Is this my current appearance setting?"

"What else? Could he still be the beautiful boy of the end of the century?" Akaname Rina asked with a sneer.

"Sloths can be described as silly and lovable, right? Especially their big eyes, so cute, and non-aggressive..." The man stammered in his explanation after a moment of doubt.

"That was a euphemism. Let me correct you. Judging from the location of your foramen magnum close to the center of the base of your skull and your ability to walk upright, you should be an Australopithecus." Akana Rina said seriously, her eyes appreciating the brilliant culture of mankind itself. "A true living fossil, a self-walking humanoid in the eyes of historians."

"I never thought that my skeleton is so retro now..." The man gritted his teeth secretly.

"Sir, I don't want to be too rude. Since you don't have a naturally superior appearance, you should work harder on your skills. But your chatting is very poor, and coupled with this exquisite body, you are already full of greasiness." Akaname Rina continued to disdain.

"Are you trying to say that not only do I have no body, but my soul is also very boring?"

"Correct."

"How dare you! How dare you speak such nonsense to the Australopithecus, to me, the ancestor of mankind who lived 200 million years ago? How could I have such a bold and presumptuous descendant!" the man was angry.

"?"

"Well, I was just excited for a moment." The man calmed down and returned to his reserved attitude. "After listening to what the lady said, I know you still misunderstood me. Chatting with you and even sending you home were definitely not out of worldly reasons such as love."

"You want to send a strange woman home for no reason and you claim that you don't have any strange thoughts. Do you think I'm an easily deceived, inexperienced middle school girl?" Akaname Rina sneered.

"I don't have any vulgar thoughts. I really just want to send the lady home." The man said righteously, "You can trust me."

"So great? So upright? Are you the human form of the Giant of Light?" Akaname Rina snorted coldly.

“It’s not yet sublimated to that level, but it is also the embodiment of the righteous light of the world. To be honest, my last name is Hong, and my given name is Lingjin. In this life, I only hope to eliminate all injustices in the world and wipe out evil spirits and demons.” The man clasped his fists passionately.

"Do you really dare to say that you saw me alone on a rainy night and wanted to take advantage of my misfortune to win my favor?" Akaname Rina asked in a strong voice.

"Why should I try to please you?" the man wondered. "When you see injustice, you should help others. That's what heroes do. I've always done that for the past two million years."

"...You are really an Australopithecus?" Akaname Rina was surprised.

“Isn’t this the setting?” The man scratched his head in confusion.

"I don't care. You don't look kind and what you say is weird. You must be a bad person. Please leave immediately." Akaname Rina stomped her feet.

"Isn't this a bit too much? Didn't we agree to be reasonable?" The man glanced at him.

"Okay, then you come and prove that you have no love or evil thoughts in your heart." Akana Rina raised her chin, "You can't just make far-fetched claims, you have to have a reason and a basis."

"I thought ladies were sentimental," the man said sadly.

"Isn't rationality good?" said Akaname Rina.

"Okay, that's great. As the saying goes, lovers in the world will eventually get together after a long separation, and will eventually separate after a long reunion. I have been in the love field for many years, and I like girls who are more rational." The man nodded in agreement.

"Admit it, you really like me." Akaname Rina narrowed her eyes.

"You are so skilled at taking things out of context. You are making trouble and being unreasonable. You are totally not the type I'm talking about."

The man shook his head, then spoke casually with his hands behind his back.

"If a person does not use a rational approach to grasp the core of the relationship between the two parties, but instead resorts to vague, subtle, emotional, and fragmented descriptions and performances of their expectations of love, then this person is bound to experience failure and take many detours. Love is like Sadako, a ghost. You have heard of her but never seen her. If you finally see her, it turns out that she just crawled out of the virtual world on TV. In the end, there is a difference in dimensions, and humans and ghosts have different paths. If the greatest sincerity in pursuing a person is true love, then this love is very cheap, which is equivalent to confessing 'I have nothing'."

"What does this have to do with your goal of sending me home?" Akaname Rina was puzzled.

"Because I don't even have true love for you!" The man patted his chest.

"??"

"Tao is ruthless but has righteousness. What I did was a good deed, a righteous act. Its nature is the same as stopping the car to wait for primary school students to cross the zebra crossing, or helping an old lady cross the road." The man spoke slowly.

"Sorry, you can't use noble excuses like helping others." Akaname Rina was as unquestionable as a referee announcing a player's foul.

"Why?" The man's attack paused.

"If you write an essay off topic, you will get zero marks."

"Well, in the final analysis, the lady still thinks she is extremely attractive, and she doesn't believe that I can resist your beauty, so she keeps resisting."

The man lowered his voice and spoke at an incredibly fast pace, enunciating each word.

"However, from a scientific perspective, so-called love is just the process of stimulating the conduction of dopamine hormones in the male and female thalamus nerves. After a long period of dopamine secretion, the brain will feel tired. Therefore, after falling in love, the secretion of the hormone will gradually decrease until it stops completely. This period of time from high secretion to cessation is commonly known as the 'shelf life of love'. The time is very short, about three months. After three months, either the relationship breaks up or turns into family affection."

"So what?" Akaname Rina muttered with a frown.

"So, in principle, all men who tearfully swear to their girlfriends that they will love you till the end of time can be classified as 'scumbags'." The man angrily clapped his hands. "It's only three months, but he said it's a lifetime. He doesn't even dare to go to the hospital with his girlfriend to test his dopamine. What's the difference between this and the villain who promised to change the notice for Wang Dao but only cared about filling in the tragic drama of withering?"

"Suppose, suppose I have even one ten-thousandth of true love for the lady, but with my character, I will never really put it into action, because I am not a scumbag. Now you should believe that I am just simply completing a yellow-label mission and want to send you home, right?" The man looked forward to hearing the final verdict.

Akana Rina pondered for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "But how can you prove that you are definitely not a scumbag?"

The man's face suddenly turned pale.

I'm coming.

The "Infinite Self-Proofing Hell" is composed of an infinite number of "How do you prove it?" This is a peerless martial art of the same level as the "How dare you be so fierce to me" that can kill with one blow. The lethality of this kind of martial arts is secondary, and the main thing is that once it is used, it is already invincible.

Let him admit it, let him play dumb, let him kneel, let the tigress show her power.

"In any case, during this exchange, you and I have been cautious, communicated, and had a frank discussion. We have also gained some trust. If the lady doesn't mind, I will call a taxi and pay for it, and you can go home." The man waved away his confusion and pointed his sword to the core.

"No taxis pass here." Akaname Rina shook her head.

"Yes, yes." The man said confidently, "It just requires a little setting."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waved on the side of the road, and then, as if he had activated the Great Word Magic, a black luxury taxi appeared out of thin air on the street, slowly approaching with its headlights on.

"This is obviously a bicycle." Akaname Rina took a look and smiled.

The lights suddenly went out, and the black luxury taxi shrank and dissolved into an unmanned bicycle. The pedals rotated by themselves, and the bell rang by itself. It sped past the two of them with a ding-ding sound. The scene was extremely strange and terrifying...

"I didn't expect this to be a train station. The Shinkansen is here." The man said again without getting discouraged.

The powerful headlights pierced through the darkness like sharp swords, the endless train bodies were like sneaking dragons, the ground was cracked by the heavy weight, and the train roared through the rain.
