I have found out your real name

Chapter 245 Pandora's Box

"She can't be found around the school."

The magical girl flying high in the sky cut through the clouds, leaving behind a hole created by the impact of water vapor on all sides.

"You're really going to cause trouble, Horirin-san."

She reported the current situation while continuing to search for Hori Riko, who suddenly disappeared.

"I haven't come home, and the phone can't be connected... There's no need to look for me anymore, just come back first."

Li Wu pinched his forehead with a headache. Shiratori Mayi appeared in the seat next to him in a phenomenon similar to the flickering of a TV screen and shook his head: "There is no such thing anywhere in the school... I really should have followed her at that time. "

"You can't keep staring at her - Erika, don't be depressed, it's not your fault."

The person pointed to by the second half of the sentence had just entered the door, and the look of self-blame on his face was beyond words.

You don't need to guess to think that because of her character, she most likely blames herself for the light's escape. If any further pressure is put on her at this time, the vampire girl who is relatively the most vulnerable will probably be unable to bear it first.

Although he had the same concerns as them, perhaps even more intensely, he must not show them at this time.

And judging from the last scene Shiratori saw, Hikaru should be the school he left.

Based on Li Wu's knowledge of her, it was not impossible that Guang would suddenly run away because of an quarrel, but she shouldn't be so willful that she would remain silent and not give him a chance to find her at all.

"what does that mean?"

The person who asked this question was Hoshikawa Aoi, who had returned to the activity room.

"For example, one summer we had a fight, and she left me and ran to the nearby mountains to catch unicorn bugs. But before that, she deliberately stuffed paintings into my house that didn't look like bugs at all, so This is barely a tacit understanding."

Looking back now, it's really amazing that I was able to finally find the other person with this kind of artistic garbage that was even said to be an over-rated draft.

"I think this is already quite a willful category!"

Aoi Hoshikawa crossed her arms obviously unhappy, and Shiratori nodded subtly as if in agreement: "I have actually wanted to think about it a few times before, whether Li Wujun is sometimes too...accommodating to the light. "

Seeing that she was about to go off topic, Airisa asked in time: "So did Xiaoguang leave you any message?"

Li Wu secretly gave her a "well done" look: "I just thought of it, don't forget why we came to the activity room?"

Shiratori Mai reacted first: "The third seal!"

Yesterday's original trip was to pick up the white bird's body in the original world and relieve the fatigue of continuous battles. Although the latter could hardly be said to have achieved its goal due to various accidents, today's original plan was indeed to continue the four-fold seal strategy operation. .

"It might be dangerous if Xiaoguang enters the third seal alone. Let's rush there now!"

Airisa trusted his judgment without hesitation.

"Shiratiao will take me there first, and you will follow later."

The message board established by Guang seems to have disappeared due to the distortion being gradually corrected. Fortunately, the original location information about the four-fold seal is still saved locally, so there is no risk of getting lost.

In the case of long-distance movement, Shiratori Mai's current ability is more secure to bring another person, so he made a decision quickly.

After the two people suddenly disappeared, Airisa looked at Aoi Hoshikawa who was still there, and found that she was talking to herself with her head down.

"You can actually determine where she will go based on this reason... Humph, is this the so-called tacit understanding?"

"Eh? Um, Xingchuan..."

"Okay! Let's go, Airisa!"

As if she was hallucinating, the other person changed his expression the next moment and carried her out of the window, leaving behind a series of screams that were lengthened by the Doppler effect.

Just when they rushed to the third seal, Li Wu, who had just experienced a space transfer, did not open his eyes like before and the scene changed.

He was standing next to the platform of a subway tunnel, and there was no one around him except for Shiratori Mai, who was wearing a dress modified from a steward's costume.

"Does it look good?"

She turned around and lifted up the hem of her black and red skirt.

"You should know that I'm not in the mood to do anything else right now, right?"

Li Wu waited for her to give an explanation.

"Don't worry, this is just a visualization of the moving process that I completed in one go. To the outside world, we still arrived at our destination in one go."

Shiratori talked eloquently, "As I said before, I practiced really hard during the days when everyone was gone. Those magical girls in the Countermeasures Bureau, and the superpowers from Section [-] - she seems to be with you too. It was through the suggestion of an old acquaintance that I completed this technology that made the originally abstract process of observing space boundaries more precise."

"It's amazing...but what I care about is not the principle. Can't you just jump over like you did before?"

"Can't you say a few more words?"

Shiratori Mai sighed and pointed to the faint white light in the distance, "Let's get in the car first. I just want to talk to Li Wujun about this matter alone."

With a roaring sound, a streamlined train drove into the platform where they were.

"What is your habit of printing your last name on it?"

Li Wu pointed in disbelief at the three gleaming characters "White Bird" on it.

"You take care of me!"

With a rare blush, she pushed up her glasses and walked into the car first. Li Wu followed suit and closed the door that opened immediately. The signs inside the subway that were supposed to mark the route to the platform were replaced with various real-world scenes.

This should be the result of the concrete observation process she mentioned.

"I don't know what happened after you and Hoshikawa-san went to find Hikari last night, but judging from the current results, it must not be good, right?"

Shiratori Mai sat down on the seat opposite him, put her hands on her knees wrapped in pantyhose under her dress, and leaned forward slightly.

"...It was indeed a quarrel."

Although Li Wu agreed with her point of view, he was a little uncomfortable with the Riddler's style, "What exactly do you want to say, White Bird?"

"I won't speculate on the specific reasons at will, but can you guarantee that if you find the light this time, something like this won't happen again?"

She stared into his eyes.

"Unnecessary worry about the future is a disease. There is an idiom called unfounded worry." "There is also an idiom called planning for a rainy day."

The literary girl counterattacked fluently, "As for whether it is necessary, Li Wujun should be able to make his own judgment, right?"

She suddenly stood up and sat over, and the train began to move forward with a long sound.

"I still remember what you said to me on the moon before."

Shiratori Mai pushed up her glasses out of habit, "Let me think about it...what am I to you? 'A woman who can be my mother'?"

"Stop joking around at times like this."

"Hey, does that mean Hoshikawa-san?"

Li Wu stared at her speechlessly until the other party raised his hands and surrendered under pressure: "Okay, okay, I just want to say that you rejected my proposal at that time and thought that you could treat everyone differently and maintain the status quo... The feeling after practice is now how is everything?"

She put on a sarcastic smile and did not let the other person go because of silence.

"Lovers, friends, childhood sweethearts who are regarded as family... Such classifications may not be a problem for Li Wujun under normal circumstances, but they are not collections that can be easily labeled, but will be positioned equally and willfully. The girl you have a relationship with?"

"I've never had such an idea."

really not?
Li Wu repeatedly asked his heart.

Since the awakening of the ability, it has brought not only the power for fighting, but also the power to see words, which usually has a low sense of existence, but has always played an important role.

You don't need to understand each other, you don't need to have in-depth contact to see the essence of an existence - but to put it harshly, it is actually a label that is arbitrarily placed on others from his perspective, but it just happens to be consistent with the real situation.

What if, in this process, his way of thinking and mentality were subtly affected by his abilities?Is it like being accustomed to using simple camp selection and quantified favorability values ​​in plot games instead of getting to know a character based on his personality and story background?
Of course, Shiratori Mai didn't know how far his thoughts had gone in an instant, and continued: "I believe you don't, but in fact, whether it is Airisa or Hikari, the relationship they long for has already deviated from Li Wujun's idea. "

Li Wu sighed: "If Shiratiao wants to lecture me on the mistakes I made, I promise to let you criticize me as much as you want after we find the light."

"No, at least the mistake Li Wujun understood is different from the mistake I understood."

She crossed her fingers to make an X shape, "The real mistake you made was to confirm your feelings for Hoshikawa-san too early."

Li Wu looked at her as if he were looking at rare animals.

"It is precisely because of this move that the original balance was broken, and Airisa and Hikari started to quarrel. If you want to maintain the original relationship without breaking up, you should not confess to her - it seems to have harem elements. In the early stages of a light novel, wouldn’t it be better to enjoy the ambiguity with everyone while pretending to be confused?”

"what do you want to say in the end?"

I don't know since when, Li Wu felt that the current state of the white bird was abnormal, even creepy.

The windows on both sides of the train reflected the other person's silhouette, and the eyes staring at him under the lenses seemed to contain some kind of creeping madness, burning like fire.

"It's Li Wujun's fault, everything is, including what I'm going to say next. If you had agreed to my proposal and cut off this muddy interpersonal relationship in time, or had not brought me back forcefully, I would have You won’t get caught up in it.”

The girl's voice echoed softly in the silent carriage with only two people, "Now that we have reached this point, there is only one way to make amends."

"What is it?"

His instinct told him that he shouldn't continue asking and couldn't go deeper into Pandora's box, but the voice had escaped from his throat without authorization.

She spoke briskly as if she was talking about what to choose for dinner: "Please give up Xingchuan-san and stay with me."

The train suddenly turned and made a fierce noise as it rubbed against the rails.

Li Wu turned his head and looked straight ahead: "I just thought you were joking. I have never heard of this sentence."

"You actually ignored my first confession!"

"If you were serious, you wouldn't have this reaction now, would you?"

"Not always."

Her tone was like she was unraveling a difficult problem, "Based on my observations over the past two days, Hoshikawa-san can only tolerate you maintaining your original relationship with Hikari or Airisa, but they have gradually You can’t accept this, is this the real reason for the quarrel?”

"But if it were me, it wouldn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's Airisa or Hikari, or even Hoshikawa-san who will be kicked out by then."

"Because you're crazy."

Li Wu felt a stronger sense of absurdity than when he saw the monster for the first time, "Why?"

"Because I'm in love with you. Could it be that Li Wujun hasn't felt it after visiting my house?"

Shiratori Makoto apologized slightly, "I'm sorry, I also know that now is not the right time, but if I miss the opportunity to leave and let Li Wujun return to his daily state, I won't be able to let you think about this problem."

Perhaps only after she had talked with him alone on a satellite far away from the earth, and had also transformed from an ordinary person to a person with super powers, could she realize the two sides of Li Wu.

Sudden power will have a severe impact on the personality. Unlike beings who are born as vampires or become magical girls at a younger age, he has stepped into an extraordinary world that is completely above daily secular ethics. He is aware of that sense of transcendence, so he can't fight or even kill like a high school student. On the other hand, the social personality formed over more than ten years will unconsciously restrain him in his daily life and follow universal values. concept.

I'm afraid Li Wu himself didn't realize how deviant the words he said to her when he was on an alien planet far away from human society actually were.

Therefore, only at this "extraordinary" time can he face...a solution that can be called a crooked way.

Of course, it would be even better if we could really kill Hoshikawa-san by the way!
While she was making small calculations, the arrival sound sounded in the carriage.

"We are here. Li Wujun can reserve his answer for now. I will always look forward to it."

Shiratori Mai stood up with a smile, bent down and left warm and cold words in his ear.

The door opened to both sides, and the train, tunnel, and white bird disappeared at the same time, replaced by a solid mountain road and a huge hole in front that seemed to penetrate the mountain.

The appearance of the third seal is that of a huge cave. Under its influence on the surrounding environment, the crater that was originally impossible to appear here is blowing hot air into the sky, and the entrance to the seal is halfway up the mountain.

Shiratori Mai, who was very close, kept the same action as when he set off, and put his hand into his palm.

Li Wu let go of his hand and suppressed the chaotic thoughts that were like a volcano in front of him.

"I won't do what you say."

He couldn't see the expression on the other person's face, "But I will bring the light back first, just like I brought you back then."

"I am very happy."

Shiratori Mai smiled sincerely, like a gardener watching seeds being sown in spring.
