After we broke up, my ex asked me to attack her

Chapter 351: Even if I escape to the ends of the earth, the sea will speak to me

When they arrived at the door of their house, Kagura opened the door and got out of the car, almost falling to the ground.

I believe many people have had the experience of being harassed by mosquitoes before going to bed. Kagura Hikaru feels a bit similar to that now.

However, what was harassing him now was not just one mosquito, but tens of thousands, or even more.

And it talked to him all the time, and he couldn't drive it away or kill it.

The countless thoughts and ideas in the hearts of the people around him were all displayed in his mind without any cover. The huge amount of meaningless information made him dizzy and unable to concentrate on thinking. He was in a state of panic.

Kagura Hikaru couldn't even remember how long it took him to travel from the hospital to his home. Maybe it was one hour, maybe it was two hours. Even his concept of time was already vague.

"Light? Are you okay?"

Kagura Hikari's staggering behavior aroused her father's suspicion.

"Yeah, it's okay." Kagura Hikaru pretended to be calm and continued, "I have to go somewhere and will be back later."

"Eh?"

"that's it."

"Wait, Hikaru--!"

He tried hard to control himself and stay awake. He strode away and turned back to use his eyes to stop Komori Ai from chasing him.

Although he was very unwilling, the closer Komori Ai got to him, the more painful it became for him. She had become his poison.

Kagura Hikaru came to the street, took a taxi, and went all the way to the wilderness.

When he got off the car, he was out of breath even though he hadn't done any strenuous exercise, and his heart was beating wildly due to the intense anxiety.

As mentioned before, Tokyo's population density is so high that the pollution level of the ability to "listen to the sounds of all things" has increased dozens or hundreds of times. Every time passing by a crowded high-rise building, the dense noise will drown out Kagura Hikari. This situation will only ease slightly when the taxi drives to the suburbs.

His response was correct. There were too many people in the city center. If he found a place with fewer people, the impact of his ability would be weakened.

After taking a taxi to the suburbs, this conjecture was verified. Sure enough, the range of this new ability is not infinite.

Kagura Hikari bid farewell to the taxi driver and walked into the forest alone.

He hoped to relieve his fatigue in the wild and think of countermeasures.

But the strange thing is that the deeper we go into the woods, the more voices in our hearts begin to change, and become abnormally simple?

What on earth is this?!
Kagura Hikaru looked into the depths of the woods in surprise. Is there anyone there?
No, that's not right.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the familiar scenery around him.

Lush trees, birds on branches, small animals flitting through the bushes, and cockroaches clinging to dead leaves on the ground.

He finally understood why this ability was called "Listening to the Voice of All Things" - it could not only read the hearts of humans, but also include plants and animals without intelligence!

Although I haven't tested it, maybe even inorganic materials like stone can do this.
“——Damn it!”

He punched the tree trunk.

Ignoring the trees that were crying out in pain, Kagura Hikaru covered her face with her hands grimly, her expression looking uglier than ever before.

He realized it.

There is no escape, no matter where you go, you can't hide from these voices. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the sea will still speak to you!
Why, why did he have to suffer this, what did he do wrong?! If, if he didn't have the ridiculous fantasy of being an omnipotent superman, didn't covet convenience, and lived like a normal person, none of this would have happened!
Could it be that this is fate? When he gained the ability to read minds, was his fate already determined?
Unable to escape the influence of her ability, coupled with the death prophecy she received not long ago, and the irritation caused by the constant pollution of her inner voice, the combination of these three results rapidly pushed Kagura Hikaru to the brink of negativity.

He wandered unconsciously in the mountains and forests, covering his head with one hand, enduring the voices of trees, birds, and everything in the world. Even if he didn't want to hear them, the world still showed him everything mercilessly.

Is this a blessing or a curse?
This scene exactly matches the last future scene that Kagura Hikaru predicted on the way home, but he was completely unaware of it.

The sun rose in the sky and set again.

It was already afternoon when Kagura walked out of the forest in disheveled clothes.

The winter sun seemed to have no temperature, shining on his face, casting a layer of pale light.

I took a taxi again and returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, his father and stepmother looked at him worriedly.

"Guang, where have you been? Why are you so dirty?"

".It's okay, leave me alone."

Kagura's impatience was so obvious that her father and stepmother couldn't help but pause.

But he didn't have the energy to maintain politeness now. He went upstairs irritably, opened the room, and saw Xiao Sen Ai sitting on the floor watching TV absentmindedly.

"what!"

Seeing him come back, Komori Ai stood up as if she was awakened.

However, when he saw Komori Ai for the first time, Kagura Hikaru closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see her.

This was not his subjective consciousness. To be precise, it was not that Komori Ai was really disliked by him. The reason was obvious: this damn mind-reading ability.

Since the first meeting with Komori Ai in Sendai, every time Kagura Hikaru read her mind, he would be forced to accept a series of cruel and bizarre memory images as if by rebound. Those were Komori Ai's real experiences in the Happiness Cult organization, but most of them were very bloody and unbearable to watch.

And when the mind-reading ability got out of control and could not be turned off, Kagura Hikaru had to endure it every minute and every second, unless he kept Komori Ai away from his sight.

But Kagura Hikaru couldn't do that.

He had promised Komori Ai that she could live an upright life in this family, but now he wanted to drive her away? Kagura Hikaru couldn't do such a thing.

This girl has suffered too much unfair treatment since she was born and she should not be hurt anymore.

Kagura Hikaru didn't expect that before he could even open his mouth to speak, Komori Ai's face turned unusually serious: "Big brother, there's something wrong with your ability, isn't it?"

"Huh?" Kagura Hikaru was surprised, "Why do you say that?"

"Actually, I know that big brother's real ability is mind reading, and I can feel when my mind is being read, just like now, you are reading my thoughts, right, big brother." Komori Ai said.

"Um"

Kagura Mitsuru thought to herself, no wonder she was so against her in Sendai. It was because he read her mind when they first met and was discovered.

"Before today, Big Brother had never used telepathy so frequently. What happened?"

Komori Ai had completely lost her usual playful vibe and, contrary to her usual behavior, seemed extremely serious, like a detective taking a statement.

Kagura Hikaru felt a little guilty for making her worry so much, so he told her the truth.

"Well, I'll try to help big brother! Dudulu, this is a special service~"

Komori Ai blinked and jumped up, and pointed her index finger at Kagura Hikari, seemingly activating her ability.

【Big brother can’t read minds, big brother can’t read minds, big brother can’t read minds. 】

[You gained by peeking into the inner world: Game Skill +1]

It's more like deceiving oneself than making a wish. At the moment when Komori Ai's 'deception' ability was activated, Kagura Hikaru could feel that the unstoppable mind-reading suddenly paused for a moment, although that pause was less than a second.

Kagura Hikaru's face was filled with astonishment, but Komori Ai put down her hand in disappointment: "No, no, I'm sorry, big brother. I haven't practiced enough. I need to reach Super Saiyan 5 to destroy the enemy!"

The child started talking nonsense again.

On the contrary, Kagura Hikaru felt that this kind of Komori Ai was reassuring. She stroked the latter's head and whispered to comfort her. At the same time, she was always tormented by the cruel memory of Komori Ai in her heart.

What will he become if this continues?
When will that foreseen tragic future come?

On the first night after her telepathic ability went out of control, Kagura Hikaru naturally suffered from insomnia.
