It is not the so-called "hypnosis" or "pretending", nor is it "madness".
The neighbor's aunt still retains her own emotions, but she reveals a very disharmonious indifference.
This is very different from her usual self.
Xu Cheng thought about it again and again, and finally figured out how to describe the neighbor's aunt's current state.
Very much like "young people".
——A specific kind.
…
The so-called "specific young people" are not young in terms of age, and they have nothing to do with "youthful vitality".
They are the kind of young people who come to a big city like Haicheng to work hard, but are eventually dragged down by the helplessness of life, spending every day in a muddle, struggling to survive.
Such people can be seen everywhere in Haicheng - and even everywhere in Azure.
They may have had fervent hopes, but in the end they became those so-called people whose edges have been smoothed by life.
This may be difficult to understand.
So let us imagine a situation:
In the park on the corner of the street, there was a group of boys and girls playing skateboards.
These people were having a great time flying up and down the abandoned stone piers.
A "young man" on his way to get off work passed by and accidentally saw them.
The "young man" curled his lips and dismissed the scene in front of him.
Because those people's entertainment has nothing to do with "young people", he will continue to work tomorrow!
At this moment, one of the young men made a mistake and fell heavily from the stone pier.
The ankle is probably twisted.
"Young people" will laugh.
Laugh at that young man for not overestimating his abilities, laugh at that young man for being young and frivolous, laugh at that young man for looking for trouble.
The most important thing——
Laughing at the things that young man did is dangerous and meaningless.
For now, this is actually a very common thinking.
What’s the point of skateboarding?
You don't need to use the "skateboard" skill to find a job in the future.
If you can participate in competitions or take a certificate exam, that would be fine.
Or live broadcast, shoot videos, perform...etc.
But playing in such a desolate park has nothing to do with any of these!
It's dangerous and no good.
Such an activity is meaningless to the "young man" who is watching, as well as the young girls and boys participating in the activity itself.
Ever since, the "young man" just sneered and walked away.
As mentioned before, he will have to work overtime tomorrow.
…
If it is still difficult to understand this state, we have a more appropriate example.
Someone - "A".
A found a photo of a newly discovered galaxy in an aerospace magazine.
Ever since, he took the photo and shared it with his friend "B".
A talked freely about various speculations in magazines, lamented the vastness and greatness of the universe, and wondered whether there was new life up there.
B was dismissive of this.
He didn't even look at the picture of the stars!
B said: "What's the point?"
B said again: "I'm more concerned about what takeout will be for lunch tomorrow. How are your KPIs lately? Stop thinking about all this nonsense. What's going on?"
B also said: "What do those stars have to do with you? What do they have to do with me?"
…
above.
People like B...isn't he right?
It seems right.
Compared with A, who speaks in a wild and imaginative way, people like B obviously live a more practical life.
He might have a delicious takeout meal for lunch tomorrow, and he wouldn't waste time thinking about those distant illusions that are light years away.
Maybe Cheng doesn't think so.
He will only feel sorry because——
B missed one star!
…
It was precisely because Xu Cheng had such thoughts that he could notice something strange about the neighbor aunt in front of him.
She was "changed" by someone.
Who changed her?
"It's you."
Chu Qiu's voice came.
She stretched out her finger and pointed at the aunt's back.
A tall and thin young man wearing glasses looked like a ghost, hiding behind the aunt, and happened to avoid Xu Cheng's sight.
In his hand he held a long knife that had long been deformed.
Is a scholar.
Xu Cheng reminded the neighbor aunt with a smile.
"Sister, close your eyes."
The neighbor's aunt was puzzled, but it wasn't like that.
Because she also felt that there was no point in doing so.
But the next second, the neighbor's aunt's eyes began to roll up, she lost consciousness, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Not far away, a hand wrapped in gauze stretched out from the other side of the rolling shutter door.
It's the little girl who is the president.
She assumed a "pistol" posture and aimed at the neighbor's aunt not far away.
The characteristic is activated and the probability changes.
The little girl, the president, manipulated the probability and took advantage of the opponent's existing physical illness to forcibly expand the effect of the tranquilizing medicine the opponent had taken before.
The neighbor's aunt fell asleep immediately.
The president's little girl's nose was bleeding.
Blood dripped to the ground, like a flare gun to start a war.
Almost at the same time, Xu Cheng and the scholar hiding behind the neighbor's aunt launched attacks on each other at the same time.
Xu Cheng punched, and the scholar swung his long curved sword.
Just as the president girl described it, the knife really didn't look like a knife that could be used to "cut people."
It's too thin and long.
The long sword in its intact state could not stop Xu Cheng's fist, let alone the one in its bent state?
boom!
Xu Cheng punched down and hit the blade of the long knife.
As expected, the scene of Xu Cheng's fist being cut open did not appear.
The knife was bent and could not be used at all.
And just relying on the sharpness of the knife itself, it was impossible to cut through Xu Cheng's tightly clenched fist.
In just a moment, the scholar felt that the hand holding the knife was numb to death.
"Well!"
He who had been silent all this time finally said the first word.
But that was also the last word.
Before the scholar could say anything, Xu Cheng's other fist hit him like a tide.
No time to breathe at all!
call!
A sound broke through the air.
Facing the fist that looked like a large mechanical pendulum, the scholar was forced to raise his left arm to block it.
boom!
The fist collided head-on with the scholar's right forearm.
The scholar's right forearm instantly turned pale, then his blood pressure surged, and instantly it became red and swollen, and finally turned purple.
But...it didn't stop.
Seeing this situation, Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
The little girl who is the president is indeed right, the scholar himself is also very powerful in combat.
How long has it been?
One of his clenched fists didn't even break the opponent's bones!
“Very strong.”
Xu Cheng sighed sincerely.
But he still took advantage of this opportunity and grabbed the scholar's neck, then rushed a few steps and pressed him heavily against the wall behind him.
boom!
The wall shook three times, and a lot of dust fell.
"But your sword can't cut anyone anymore."
"Ahem...really?"
The scholar's voice was hoarse, but he still seemed to be at ease.
"You are just like the president, old gentleman."
"You don't know how many people I have killed."
"Whether it's the president's side or your side..."
Listening to the scholar's words, Xu Cheng's arms gradually tightened and pinched the scholar's neck until it creaked.
