Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

"Then... what do you think is the most shameful thing about Golden Ship?" Dongcheng Kuaiju calmed down and was ready to accept it graciously if Golden Ship refused to fulfill its obligation to answer.

"Five seconds!"

"what?"

"I mean, the most shameful thing for me was playing with my big sister for five seconds!"

"...?!?!"

Dongcheng Kuaiju was numb. When she said it to Jin Chuan without blushing and her heart skipping a beat, her first reaction was probably a joke. After all, could she really say such a thing with confidence?As a result, the lie detector was as quiet as a stone and gave no response.

"...Um...is the lie detector broken?" Dongcheng Kuaiju planned to give Golden City a step down, "After all, this is obviously a joke."

"No, I'm telling the truth, maybe seven seconds?"

Di-

The red light of the lie detector instantly lights up, indicating that the golden ship is lying.

"Oh, that's five seconds." Golden Ship nodded, "Sorry, I don't remember very clearly."

"...but...ah this." The friends who suddenly got the gossip they didn't want to know were all shocked, "Playing? It took five seconds? Huh?"

Everyone's brains shut down for a moment. After all, the amount of information in these words was a bit large. Not only Dongcheng Kuaiju, but even the friends who had just heard these were dumbfounded. "But...but no matter how hard it is, five seconds is too..."

Dongcheng Kuaiju's theoretical knowledge of physiology was still stubbornly resisting. She corrected her sternly, "This is not in line with physiology!"

"That's right, if it's five seconds... that's not much..." Aili Suzi was also a little worried about the situation of the gold ship, "I think it's really possible to check the following lie detector. Xiao Dongcheng, please help me and put it on. Then tell some truth and some lies.”

"...Okay." Although Dongcheng Kuaiju was shocked, he still subconsciously agreed to the test.After putting on that strange hat, Dongcheng Kuaiju told a lie first. "I hate everyone."

Di-

The red light comes on, this is obviously a lie that can no longer be false.Alisuzi tilted her head and reminded, "Tell me more truth."

"...Huh? Well...actually I like painting!" Dongcheng Kuaiju said casually, but this time the lie detector did not respond.

It seems that it turns out that the lie detector was not damaged, which means that what Golden Ship just said seems to be true.Dongcheng Kuaiju also felt a little guilty. She said to Golden Ship with some embarrassment, "That... I didn't mean it."

"It doesn't matter, these are the rules of the game. If I don't abide by it, then I don't have the right to ask you about your affairs, right?" Golden Boat waved his hand, "And I, Mr. Little Golden Boat, are not just a little bit ashamed. One that can be knocked down.”

Although they suddenly ate a big melon, before everyone had time to digest it, a new reincarnation was about to begin. Dongcheng Kuaiju was the first to reach out and throw the strange-flavored beans into his mouth.This time it tasted like indescribable earth, but this time, Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't hide himself and spat out the strange-flavored beans in his mouth directly.

"Sorry... I won the lottery." After all, Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little embarrassed by Huang Jincheng's straightforwardness, so she decided not to hide herself anymore and simply let everyone ask about the gossip.After all, Golden Ship said such shameful things, what else did he have to be afraid of?

Dongcheng Kuaiju's eyes gradually became firm. He did not take joy in things or feel sad about himself. His heart was as clear as ice and he was not surprised when the sky fell. He allowed him to be strong. The breeze blew on the hills and he let him go. The bright moon illuminated the river. .As long as his heart is firm enough, there is no way to shake Dongcheng Kuaiju's heart with just some gossip questions.

The so-called bodhi tree is not a tree, and the mirror is not a stand.There is nothing, where is the dust.Dongcheng Kuaiju's current state of mind can be said to be soaring, soaring, soaring. Who else can shake her!Who else can shake her!

It's just that the Golden Ship, Dongcheng Dome, Big Shock, Ali Taiko, Manchester City Tea House, and Golden Master didn't win the prize, and the only one who got the lottery was the new universe that always seemed to be wandering outside the game. She looked at the chip in her hand Drawing the lottery, looking at Dongcheng Kuaiju who was trying to turn himself into a rock in the inner realm.

"Sure enough, we have a special fate. Miss Dongcheng Kuaiju." New Universe said to Dongcheng Kuaiju, "I'm very happy."

Of! Drop 33 Zhang·examination, cover

Dongcheng Kuaiju suddenly became a little nervous. It wasn't that her mental preparation just now had a negative effect. On the contrary, she felt that she was ready to answer any questions. But when she saw the look in Xin Universe's eyes, she felt something violated. With a sense of harmony, the new universe seemed not to be looking at Dongcheng Kuaiju here, but at something more profound.

"...What do you want to ask?" Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head and threw the impression out of his mind before asking.After all, this is a big shock friend, and she always has to treat her well.

"Miss Dongcheng Kuaiju, are you satisfied with this journey?" New Universe showed a gentle smile, as if looking at a travel companion - a travel companion who met by chance on the road, a smile faced by the same kind. .As this question was asked, Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Journey?What does it mean?Does it refer to the period of time when you came to this world?But how did the new universe know that he was a time traveler?This must be the first time she and New Universe have met, right?Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little confused, but she still responded seriously. "I don't quite understand what you mean, but if you want to say whether you are satisfied with your current life, I think it's pretty good."

Indeed, compared to the introverted, stubborn, and somewhat clumsy me back then, I am now someone that the girl needed to look up to.All of this was brought about by my partners in this world. They changed their destiny, and I also changed their destiny to a certain extent.

Destiny is like a complicated spider web. The trembling of any thread will make the entire web of destiny tremble. Some people call it the butterfly effect, and Dongcheng Kuaiju is never confident enough to think that he can have no impression of her. , if the new universe had not asked this question, she might not have considered it.

It may be normal to call such a process a journey. It is like a movie I have watched. Fallen Leaves Return to Its Roots is a very good road movie. The meaning of a road movie is that people can grow during the journey. , just like the self who was brought to this world, who originally tried his best to hide himself, trying to live a different life, and was extremely resistant to racing.

Back then, I was like a reborn baby, cautious about everything, and even had an almost pathological worry about my own secrets.In the final analysis, he was worried that his identity would be revealed and that he was not the original Dongcheng Kuaiju, which would lead to a series of things that followed.And living like this can be said to be a very tiring life. Although she made two close friends, Satomi Hikari and Beibu Xuanju, the paranoid self at the time still tried desperately to change her life.

For example, after getting admitted to Dongcheng University, the person who really changed Dongcheng Kuaiju was Northern Xuanju who forced himself onto the track. Although it was just a meaningless friendly match, Dongcheng Kuaiju clearly realized that he had become The racehorse girl may have been an accident, but her body still had the desire to run.

To be very serious, if Xiaobei hadn't dragged him onto the field, it would have been absolutely impossible for Dongcheng Kuaiju to agree to participate in a zero-sum game like a sports competition.After all, although the girl at that time did not realize that Dongcheng Kuaiju's soul still existed in this body and affected her, but without Xiaobei, she probably would have missed the opportunity to truly awaken Dongcheng Kuaiju's soul.

Maybe when the time comes, I will continue to live according to my own ideas, be my own Dongda University student, find a high-paying job after graduation, and then continue to be someone's cog.Maybe it's just more comfortable than before, or maybe it will return to its original position again during a certain storm.

After all...you can't change yourself this way.It took the girl a long time to understand this. The reason why she was obsessed with Tokyo University was because she blindly believed that after being admitted to Tokyo University, she could change her life.This obsession even affected her judgment and made her insist on attending the University of Tokyo for a long time. It was not until later that she realized that for her, what really needed to change was herself.

The second opportunity to change myself came from the moment when I discovered that the soul of another Dongcheng Kuaiju was attached to my body. At that time, I could be said to be very depressed. I originally thought it was another opportunity given to me by the gods, but it turned out that Maybe I have to give everything I have worked hard to build to a girl who is just attached to me.

——Is this unfair?

She did think so for a while, but she finally realized her mistake.It's not that she got a second chance, but that this girl prayed for her to come. Although she gave up her life - but she didn't give up on herself.As the girl gradually wakes up, the girl will gradually gain the girl's memories.

To put it very seriously, Dongcheng Kuaiju read Dongcheng Kuaiju's life from an empathic perspective. It was a life that took a turn for the worse after an accident. This girl who was on the verge of being broken had no reason to give everything to herself. She just A dove occupies a magpie's nest, even though Goddess Godolphin says she is kind.

But at that time, I really just felt "sympathy" for Dongcheng Kuaiju. No... maybe "empathy" is more appropriate.If she had encountered Dongcheng Kuaiju's experience, she would never be confident that she would be able to come out of it.Although both of them are unfortunate children, although their lives are very different.

But there is probably only one thing in common. They are twins who were fooled by fate. They are symbionts who understand each other's suffering. In their long-term coexistence, they regard each other as the most important part of themselves.This is the reason why the girl decided to return her body to Dongcheng Kuaiju, not because of pure kindness, nor because of how selfless she is.

After all, she was just saving herself.This kind of self-rescue may seem to others to be a selfless act, but for the girl, it is just an almost instinctive act.

During this time, she gained the memory of Dongcheng Kuaiju and became Dongcheng Kuaiju. She knew the pain of Dongcheng Kuaiju and understood her own despicability and stupidity, so she made a decision to bring the menopausal Dongcheng Kuaiju back and be resurrected. Opportunity.It's just that at this time, although the girl has changed, she understands it very well.

She is just a hypocrite, and all her sacrifices for Dongcheng Kuaiju are just to make herself feel satisfied.This is not selfless, just self-satisfaction.

Even when she returned her body to Dongcheng Kuaiju, she still had the mentality of escaping and simply turning into a lonely ghost and finally dissipating.

Although after a series of events, the girl finally became Dongcheng Kuaiju, and even Dongcheng Qiong was willing to give the name and everything related to her, she still felt worried about gains and losses.This torture of herself also resulted in her being unable to respond appropriately to Bei Xuanju's confession.

She was afraid that her hypocritical face would be exposed. She was afraid that she was not the "kind-hearted Dongcheng Kuaiju" in the eyes of these friends, and was not the "best friend worth trusting". She thought that she was just acting, performing a person in everyone's mind. Just a perfect image.But she doesn't think she can maintain such acting skills after actually being with someone else.

If Xiaobei knew that she was a hypocrite, if Satomi knew that she was not who she thought she was.Ruo Qiong... She knew that the reason why she chose her in the first place was just to escape and satisfy herself.She was afraid of being discovered by anyone like this.

But now... this stranger in New Universe seems to know all this and has completely seen through his disguise.To be honest, Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little panicked.

"I...I don't know." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head, but this time, the lie detector did not sound. "However, I hope to be a traveler who can satisfy everyone I meet until I reach the end of my journey."

"...The lie detector did not go off - indeed, you can make such a decision no matter what time it is." New Universe nodded, showing an expression of relief, "Just like the you I know, Chen Xinyu …”

When New Universe revealed Dongcheng Kuaiju's inner real name, Dongcheng Kuaiju was not surprised at all. It would be better to say that she had such a premonition, as if she had been in contact with the mysterious New Universe in front of her countless times. She In the new universe, you can feel the contradiction between familiarity and strangeness.

Regarding the strange question of the new universe, the strange thing is that no one raised any questions. Even the golden ship who cared most about the game at the beginning was looking at him with strange and warm eyes like the new universe. , after Dongcheng Kuaiju rubbed his eyes, everyone who had been sitting at the round table disappeared, leaving only New Universe.

"Don't worry, this is just a dream. This is just a special dream among the countless dreams in your life." New Universe explained, "I just came here to see an old friend, Chen Xinyu, although you You may not believe it, but I have seen you in countless worlds...sometimes you are a horse racing girl, sometimes you are still the social animal, sometimes you are a candidate, and sometimes you become your ideal Painter, you are trying your best to live in every world, trying to meet other people's expectations, so your soul has collected the wishes of so many people - and it is not the three goddesses who truly realize the wishes of Dongcheng Kuaiju. But yourself..."

"...What do you mean?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"It's not an accident that you came to the world of horse racing girls, but your own choice, because you feel that someone wants your help, or that she needs you. It is for such a simple reason that you have leveraged your own existence , came to this world and saved Dongcheng Kuaiju, who had chosen to die in countless worlds." New Universe explained, "Although I have always felt that I should not interfere in too many things, but now you are trapped in a I am in a cycle of blaming myself harshly. I just can’t stand it anymore.”

"...Then who are you? Aren't you a friend of Da Shock, are you?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was confused, "New Universe...who are you?"

"I..." New Universe was silent for a while, "I'm just a horse racing girl who can accidentally see parallel worlds."

"...I don't quite understand." Dongcheng Kuaiju blinked, "What does parallel world mean? You can't be a time traveler, right?"

"It's a little inaccurate, but it's reasonable for you to understand it this way." Xin Universe felt a little funny, "Just understand it this way. I'm just here to do some trivial things. Chen Xinyu, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. , let alone be what others hope for. You have fulfilled the wishes of enough people. You are a human being, a horse race girl, but you are not a wishing machine, and you are not a god. So, you don’t have to be perfect.”

"..." Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little confused, but also touched. However, the dream was obviously about to wake up. Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at New Universe and was about to get up and leave. She quickly stepped forward and asked. "Well...you said I am your old friend, then...what is the relationship between you and me?"

"Don't care so much," New Universe raised a finger and put it in front of his lips. "Just think that I'm here to help. I'll see you later. I'll come to see you in my dream when I have time."

Before Dongcheng Kuaiju could catch her, she jumped into the air and fell to the ground. This movement also woke up everyone around the table. It seemed that everything had stopped before the game started, except Dongcheng Kuaiju. Other than that, no one seemed to know that there was a petite blond horse racing girl beside Da Shock just now.

She was particularly shocked. Although she was confused as to why she fell asleep, she had no doubts about the fact that there was no new universe around her, as if she never had this friend in the first place.

"Okay! The game is about to begin!!"

-

"In the end, you still intervened..." New Universe was walking on the street, and a girl with the same blond hair appeared beside her, "Didn't you say it's best not to interfere?"

"I just can't stand it." New Universe said with a smile, "Aoi, aren't you the same?"

"Okay, Xinyu, you don't need to talk to me like this." Beside her was Shi Kuiqi Miracle from the Logistics Department. She said as if she had known New Universe for a long time. "It's really strange to say that the soul in the real world and the soul in the racing girl world merge with each other. If nothing else happens...you should be a special case, right?"

"You talk a little too much...Mama Kui." New Universe shook his head, "Whether it's Dongcheng Kuaiju or Chen Xinyu, these two are always the same person in the end."

There is a difference between treating others sincerely and treating others seriously.

One is to show everything about yourself honestly with your own heart, and treat others without any defense.One is to try to get along with the other person in a way that does not make them feel disgusted. In fact, it is essentially similar to a saint's deeds but not his heart, and a saint's heart.Such similar situations.

Dongcheng Kuaiju considers herself a hypocrite, but she hopes that she can become a person who can satisfy everyone.She lives in the expectations of others and wears a mask of hypocrisy.But maybe after pretending for a long time, the mask will take root, and eventually Dongcheng Kuaiju will become accustomed to playing such a person who seems to have no desires and desires.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this character that Dongcheng Kuaiju can easily imitate others in his field.And such a self can even deceive Dongcheng Kuaiju, who has been with him sincerely.But he was directly seen through by a person who suddenly appeared and called himself New Universe, and also suggested that he didn't need to care so much and use his true appearance to get along with others.

It can't be that easy... Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed. In the end, there is no essential difference between her and Dongcheng Kuaiju. Although she has improved compared to the past, in the final analysis, she will still naturally hide her inner feelings, and As mentioned before, she has become accustomed to putting on such a look. This is what everyone wants her to be, so there is nothing wrong with keeping it like this in order to make everyone happy.

Those words of the new universe are really not that simple or easy for Dongcheng Kuaiju.

Moreover, she was not even sure that the emergence of the new universe was not a dream of hers. Maybe she was just too busy recently, so she made up a dream for herself?

Dongcheng Kuaiju thought about it and decided after a long time - just ask the omniscient three goddesses.

It is not difficult to find the way of the three goddesses. After all, the three goddesses still pay a lot of attention to themselves. After Dongcheng Kuaiju performed a series of quite standard signature prayers before going to bed, Godolphin Arabia, the person he is most familiar with, The three goddesses came to her dream that night.

"My cute little Dongcheng, I bring life and hope~" When Gao Daofen appeared in Dongcheng's Kuaiju dream, she also performed a series of famous lines. It can be seen that she is probably addicted to stoves recently. Stone legend. "Ah, by the way, what do you want from me?"

"Um...the third goddess." Dongcheng Kuaiju asked straight to the point. "Do you know about the new universe?"

"...New Universe?" Godolphin Arab tilted his head, and even opened his eyes that had been narrowed. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was communicating with the other two goddesses. After a long time, she raised her head. "There should be no racehorse girl called New Universe in this world."

"Sure enough...then am I really just dreaming?" Since the three goddesses said no, then that should be the case. Then does the new universe that appears in my dream really seem to be my dream?But this dream is indeed unbelievable and real. "Third Goddess, can you help me investigate about the new universe?"

"It's okay." Godolphin Arabia, as the three goddesses, can sense the existence of any horse racing girl. If there really is a horse racing girl called the New Universe, unless she comes from another world, otherwise the three There's no reason why the goddess can't sense it.

"Generally speaking, I can feel it as long as it's a horse race girl. There is probably only one exception -" Godolphin Arabia emphasized, "That's you, Dongcheng Kuaiju. Your soul is from another world, although Now I have the body of a horse racing girl, but if I hadn’t paid special attention to you, I wouldn’t have been able to sense your presence.”

"...Am I a special case?" Dongcheng Kuaiju pointed at himself in confusion, "You mean, if the new universe really exists, then it comes from other worlds?"

"That's probably what it means. If what you say is true, then this horse racing girl called New Universe should come from other worlds." Godolphin Arabia replied, "Just like you."

"I understand..." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded, "Then please help me find clues about the new universe. This is very important to me."

"Now that you have spoken, how could I not help? But I suggest you not to take it too seriously. After all, it is still unclear whether this new universe exists or not." Godolphin Arab looked at Dongcheng Kuaiju's expression, which was not very good. , stepped forward and touched her head, "Besides, no matter who this new universe is, I will protect you. I can't interfere with your game, and I can't prevent you from getting hurt, but if anyone else wants to If I want to hurt you, I will never sit idly by and watch."

"Thank you, Lord Three Goddesses." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. She did not complain that the injured Three Goddesses did not appear this time. After all, she would be too shameless if she asked the Three Goddesses for help every time. "Then I'm sorry to trouble you about the new universe. I'm just asking you about it."

"It doesn't matter. You can always pray to me if you encounter any trouble next time. I'm always listening." It was probably only at this time that Dongcheng Kuaiju felt that this talkative blue-haired horse racing girl exuded a kind of divine brilliance. , usually I feel like a gentle big sister.

But even though he has asked the three goddesses for help, Dongcheng Kuaiju himself still doesn't plan to wait like this.The next day, Dongcheng Kuaiju found Da Shock and asked him about the new universe.But just like yesterday, Da Shock felt quite unfamiliar with the name New Universe. Although Dongcheng Kuaiju was very serious, Da Shock had never retrieved the information related to the New Universe from his memory.

In the dream, New Universe joined Ma Niangzhuang as a friend of Da Shock, but in reality Da Shock did not know Xin Universe, so was he really just borrowing this identity?Da Shock really doesn't like making friends. Compared to Dongcheng Kuaiju and Dongcheng Qiong who are introverted, Da Shock is exactly that kind of person - only Dongcheng Kuaiju and Dongcheng Qiong can be my friends.

This type of person who enjoys being alone has nothing to do with fear of society and simply finds it more convenient to be alone.

Therefore, the identity of Da Shocking's friend is very questionable. Dongcheng Kuaiju has known Da Shock for so long, but she has never brought anyone back to Ma Niangzhuang.

As for the Golden Ship and others, not to mention, everyone has a doubt about whether New Universe has been to Ma Niangzhuang - who is New Universe?After hearing the description of Dongcheng Kuaiju's appearance, they became even more confused. He had blond hair and was about the same height as Dongcheng Kuaiju. He had dark blue eyes and the inside of his ears were also blue. He was full of mystery.They will definitely not forget such a character easily after seeing it once.

But no one had any impression, so Dongcheng Kuaiju really doubted whether this person existed.

If that dream hadn't been too real and the memory of New Universe was so clear, Dongcheng Kuaiju would never have cared so much.More importantly, for some reason, she felt an aura similar to her own in the new universe.

To use a not-so-good metaphor, when talking to New Universe, Dongcheng Kuaiju felt as if he was looking in the mirror.This kind of similarity is really not something that can be explained in a dream.

It's just that all Dongcheng Kuaiju's attempts to find the New Universe have failed. It seems that no one in this world knows a horse racing girl named New Universe. That's right, the three goddesses have said that there is no New Universe in this world, and they are still so What are you doing with persistence?

She might just be unwilling to give in and want to ask New Universe more questions.After all, this is the only person who can see through her heart so far. Even Qiong cannot do this, but New Universe easily sees through her disguise and gives clear suggestions.

Who is she and does she really exist?Is it your dream?Or the so-called [traveler]?

The puzzles about the new universe are indeed more bizarre than the last, but Dongcheng Kuaiju has tried his best to find her. Since there are no clues, she can only temporarily give up the idea of ​​meeting the new universe again.Maybe it really is just not the right time yet, as the saying goes.

Fate is not yet there——

-

What worries Dongcheng Kuaiju is also what worries the three goddesses. Although she cannot sense the existence of the new universe, there is one thing she does not tell Dongcheng Kuaiju.She did feel the existence of racehorse girls from other worlds, and what she saw now was the one - [Stowaway].

"Shi Kui Miracle - what are you doing here?" Godolphin Arab looked at the child in front of him with confusion, who seemed to be quite different from the horse racing girl with the same name in his own world, "What's the reason for you coming to this world?"

"Good evening, Third Goddess--" Shi Kui smiled miraculously and responded politely. "I just came here to see what's going on here. I don't have any other purpose. It's okay to just treat it as a tourist."

"You are traveling around the world in fashion?" Godolphin tilted his head in confusion, "Forget it, let me ask a question, did you bring a blond horse racing girl with you?"

"Yes." Shi Kui Miracle admitted straightforwardly, "You should have met Dongcheng Kuaiju, right? What did she tell you about the new universe?"

"Well, she cares about the child named New Universe. I'm also very curious, can I meet her?" the third goddess asked, "After all, I am quite interested in someone who can make that child so interested. .”

"It's not impossible. But she didn't do anything bad, so the three goddesses shouldn't drive people back indiscriminately, right?" Although Shi Kui Miracle agreed, she still tested it first. "Although this kid from New Universe is a little weird, he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions."
