Even though the sunlight outside the window was still bright, Wu Tiao Wuhui at this moment looked like the female ghost crawling out of the well on TV.
"Isn't that confusing? The sky has no boundaries. I can reach anywhere I want. If I fly anywhere, I'll always find a world I don't hate. That's the most beautiful place for those imprisoned."
Ryougi Shiki was speaking to the silent Mujo Kirie.
The latter just said nothing and continued to stare at the girl in kimono in front of him.
Where does the hostility in your heart come from?
Maybe it's jealousy.
Whether it was Kurodori Kanko or Ryougi Shiki, the young and beautiful man and woman, just the presence of them in front of her made her unable to open her eyes.
The guy in front of her, who was accompanied by her boyfriend and seemed to be living a very happy life, said words that only belonged to her.
Obviously, those words and those feelings should only be possessed by someone like her. They are the only things that someone like her has.
Even if I hate myself for having these thoughts.
But when these thoughts that belonged only to me were taken away by such a happy person, the hostility that welled up in my heart could not be concealed at all.
Ryougi Shiki: "So this is how I look to you?"
The short-haired girl in a kimono reached out and touched her cheek.
She watched as Wujo Kirie pointed to Kurogane Kanko beside her. "This guy once told me that only those who have never been in love can write about truly sweet romances. Because once you've been in love, your fantasy of love will gradually shatter."
Ryougi Shiki: "It doesn't matter if you haven't experienced it, or if you can only imagine it. Reality is probably uglier than you imagine. Truly eternal and beautiful things only exist in fantasy, so—"
She raised her foot and kicked Kurogiri Xianhu, who completely failed to understand what she and Wujo Kirie were saying.
The latter reacted belatedly.
Kurogiri Xianhu: "Actually, I'm here to see a game producer. Ms. Wujo Wuhui, are you interested in participating in the production of a game to turn your fantasy of the sky into reality? You can use this opportunity to see what others think of you."
Wu Tiao Wuhui: “?”
The resentful emotions came to a standstill at this moment.
She raised her head and looked at Hei Tong Xian Hu in confusion, her hair falling behind her head, and her eyes that were hidden by her long hair were revealed again.
The dead silence in the woman's eyes was replaced by complete confusion.
Volume 1: Chapter 17: The Sick Wolf Returns to the Sky
Modern society is largely a huge machine.
It rumbles on, turning everyone into parts with people's pursuit of status, desire for social recognition, and various pressures from relatives, driving the progress of the entire society.
When we are young, we are trapped by academic performance; when we are young, we are trapped by the level of work; when we are middle-aged, we are trapped by the burden of family.
There is always something that will pull people in, turning them into gears according to social conventions, operating in their corresponding positions and creating their own value.
Is this a bad thing?
No, it's certainly not a bad thing.
Man is the sum of social relations; being forced means being needed.
Only when you are alone and have nothing can you be free.
The early morning sunlight shone into the room from the window, and Wu Tiao Wuhui climbed up from her own hospital bed.
Beep beep~beep beep~
She pressed the button on the headboard of her bed.
This is the button for patients to call the nurse.
As long as the patient presses the button, the nurse will come and ask the patient if there is anything he needs help with.
But there has to be a reason to press that button.
How many reasons can a patient have for a nurse to see him?
If a patient presses a button casually for no reason, he will definitely be disliked.
In the past, when she was still sharing a hospital ward with other people, Wu Tiao Wuhui envied those office workers who were hospitalized because they would receive calls from company leaders when they were sick.
Some were even forced to start working in the ward as soon as their health improved.
Such people are generally jokingly called social animals.
To normal people, this scene is even a bit ironic.
It's too strange that Wujo Wuhui envies a corporate slave.
But at the age of 16, she was just envious.
After almost two years of her hospitalization, her parents rarely saw her.
After all, her hospitalization fees are not cheap, her parents need to spend more time working, and she also has a younger brother to take care of at home.
Wu Tiao Wuhui, who unilaterally accepted help from her parents, gradually became alone.
She was so exhausted that she couldn't even call a nurse.
Because she is not like those office workers who have a job to do, nor can she be like those office workers who work with the help of nurses while complaining about their boss's inhumanity.
She had no reason to press that button.
She could only watch others and press that button, even if it hurt her body occasionally, and press the button.
When the nurses arrived, they simply prescribed her some medicine, gave her a massage for a while, and then left in a hurry.
After all, they are busy, aren't they?
Wu Tiao Wuhui had read about this in a book when she was still in school.
In nature, wolf packs will abandon sick and old wolves that have no hunting ability in order to maintain the pack's combat effectiveness.
She felt that humans, who are also social animals, were probably the same.
It’s just that we don’t act like individuals, but as a collective called society, we exclude those worthless beings from the center and isolate them on the margins.
Someone like her who cannot create any value naturally cannot integrate into the entire society by creating value.
She can only be alone, and she can only be honest.
She spent her parents' money on her medical treatment, so could she still complain that her parents didn't come to see her?
"Good morning, Miss Wu Tiao."
The young nurse who came hurriedly stood in front of Wu Tiao Wuhui's bed and called out to her, bringing her back from her thoughts.
"Good morning, Nurse Ichinose."
The hoarse voice spoke these words for the first time in a long time.
Even Wu Tiao Wuhui herself was surprised by her stuttering. She really hadn't communicated with anyone seriously for a long time.
She has changed now.
"Ms. Wu Tiao, you look much more energetic today than usual."
Nurse Ichinose, wearing a pink nurse uniform, spoke to Mujo Kirie with a smile.
"Maybe it's because I found a job."
"But Miss Wu Tiao, are you really good at work in this state?"
"Very good. People must work to be energetic, right?"
"Don't let the person in the next room hear this. He's been complaining about his boss being useless lately and even exploiting hospitalized patients."
"I'll pay attention to that."
Wu Tiao Wuhui nodded to the nurse in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Ah~ Miss Wu Tiao, I haven't seen you smile for a long time. You look very beautiful today."
Staring at Wujo Kirie's face with a faint smile, the little nurse also smiled.
For this patient who had been living in this hospital since he was 14 years old, the young nurse witnessed him becoming more and more lifeless day by day.
This kind of change at the moment can really be said to be great.
"Thank you."
Wu Tiao Wuhui thought about it and gave this answer.
"Ohhh, that looks really good."
The young nurse squinted her eyes and smiled. "The request from the front desk will take some time before it can be processed. Do you want me to help you change your hairstyle?"
Wujo Wuhui: "Change your hairstyle?"
Nurse Ichinose: "Yes, isn't Wujo going to work? It's not okay for a working person to have his hair down like this. Also, he needs to change his clothes."
The nagging little nurse seemed very happy about Wu Tiao Wuhui's change, and unconsciously omitted the title of "Miss" in her words.
After getting Wu Tiao Wuhui's permission, she took a comb and combed her long hair, which almost reached her ankles.
At the same time, she also recommended several office clothes to Wu Tiao Wuhui and lent her a small amount of money to buy clothes.
Wu Tiao Wuhui: "This I..."
Nurse Ichinose: "It's okay, it's okay. Wujo, you have a job, right? You can return some of this money to me after you get your salary."
As if she noticed that Wu Tiao Wuhui was about to refuse, the nurse waved her left hand and stuffed the money directly into Wu Tiao Wuhui's palm with her right hand.
Wu Tiao Wuhui: "..."
What she actually wanted to tell the other party was that Hei Tong Xian Hu had given her an advance of three months' salary before leaving yesterday, and she actually had enough money to buy clothes now.
However, faced with the enthusiastic nurse, she finally said nothing and chose to accept the other party's kindness.
The morning sun shines in from the window, bringing a warm feeling.
Wu Tiao Wuhui sat on the bed with her back to the door, allowing the enthusiastic little nurse to fix her hair.
In front of my sight are the figures of patients coming and going in the lower part of the hospital, which I used to find disgusting but had to see.
She was about to stop looking at the view, but when she looked at it again, she found that the scene was not as disgusting as she had imagined.
She just hated herself for not getting any response from behind her and not being able to move at all.
"Ah~ Wu Tiao, your hair is really good. It's so long, do you want me to put it up for you?"
Nurse Ichinose's voice came again.
"I'd like to get my hair cut sometime. Does anyone in Ichinose recommend a place?"
Turning around, Mujo Kirie took the initiative to ask Nurse Ichinose for the first time.
The latter quickly showed a relieved smile on his face: "Wait until you have a day off from work. I have a shift this Saturday. How about we go shopping together on Sunday? I can recommend a good barber for you."
Wujo Wuhui: "Okay."
Volume 1: Chapter 18: Eastern Gensokyo
Hei Tong Xian Hu established a new company for game development and console sales, located in an old office building on the corner of Guanbuzi City's commercial street.
There is a long-established ramen restaurant downstairs from the company, but unfortunately the business is not very good.
On weekdays, the number of people around the company has decreased significantly. Looking out from the windows of the office building, one can see empty streets.
Although we are in the city, we have an inexplicable feeling of living in the wilderness.
So Japan is a really strange country. With the arrival of the bubble economy, the government engaged in large-scale construction, resulting in an urbanization rate as high as 93%.
Not to mention Kanbushi City where Kurodori Lake is located, even Misaki where Kuonji Arizu is located, every corner of that remote town is connected by trams.
But nearly 47% of the people in the country's administrative regions have gathered in Tokyo.
In a large part of modernized areas across the country, the population is decreasing, and various facilities are left alone, with no one to take care of them or use them.
"Overall, it fits the name of our company quite well."
