I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"So, can you tell me now?"

Fu'er held the sapphire necklace that was still shining just now, but now returned to a calm state. Watching it swaying in front of his eyes, Fu'er couldn't help but ask out the questions that had always been in his heart. .

"Huh? What's the problem? Don't worry, as long as it's a question that I can tell you, as your pledger, I will tell you everything. But if you are asking a girl's private questions, I suggest you be bolder when you have it. Ask again when you have the ability to do something~"

Sylvia smiled softly and replied to Fu'er, but when he saw the other person's smile, Fu'er felt creepy.

Are you going to persecute me again?

Where is that weak and pitiful ghost lady just now? Where have you been hiding? Give it back to me quickly!

"Who wants to ask you that kind of question?"

Fu'er said angrily.

"I'm asking about that! Why did I bump into you at the intersection, pick up the necklace, and hand the necklace to the lost and found area at the police station, but no matter it was the policeman on duty, or the records of the surveillance camera, and those... The containment team that came to examine me and this necklace with professional equipment either lost relevant memories or detected nothing. In short, it was as if nothing happened."

"Since you insist that you are not [abnormal] and [disaster], but also possess incredible abilities, as an existence that is not the above two kinds of existence, you have to tell me how you did all this."

"Well...is this question important to you?"

Sylvia put her finger on her cheek and confirmed to Ful in a questioning tone.

"Of course it's important! After all, if the memory and cognition of others deviates from mine again next time without me knowing it, then the distance between me and my daily life, and the distance between me and my wishes, will definitely It will be farther and farther away.”

Although he seemed to be questioning loudly, seeing the other person floating up and down in the air with his brows furrowed, as if he was very distressed, Fu'er also doubted whether he had asked too much.

This question is very important, because it is likely that he will often encounter the same situation in the future, but...if no one is harmed by it.

It doesn’t seem that important anymore…

"Forget it, judging from the way you are struggling, it seems that this issue is very difficult for you. If you don't want to talk about it, just say it. I won't force you to ask you about this matter, and you don't have to find any excuse to deal with me. Compared with not responding, lies are more unacceptable to me."

"No, I am not troubled because of myself, but because of your question, my oath bearer."

Sylvia shook her head and then said.

"Your wish is to live an ordinary life, but do you know that when you understand the part of the knowledge you want to know now, whether you want it or not, you will go further and further away from the path you originally expected. .”

"Does just knowing knowledge... have such a big effect?"

Fu'er felt a little incredible.

"Of course, you should have heard of it to some extent. For example, the [disaster] events in the world are not just as few and harmless as reported by the outside world. Every day, there are all kinds of weird and weird things that happen due to [contained objects]. Disappearances, mutations, and even disasters are not rare occurrences every few years."

"Most of this information is blocked and controlled by the United Federation. In many cases, it will be used by some malicious media, or some bad associations with illegal purposes, or directly as a cult, as an attack on the Federation and the Federation. Weapons of the Authority.”

"But have you ever thought about why most of the time, there is no official response?"

Sylvia raised her finger and drew a big question mark in front of Ful.

Fu'er thought for a moment and then answered.

"Is it because... just [understanding]... is a kind of [diffusion]?"

"Yes, there are some things that just understanding and being known to most people will lead to instability in the world. That's why the old men above will prevent the spread of certain news no matter what. Even if they are detained Being labeled as [not free of speech], even if radicals think it is [dictatorship] and [hegemony], they will not make the slightest change."

"Because everything... is to continue this world that is destined to be destroyed."

Yes, in this world, even a five-year-old child knows that the world is destined to be destroyed. Although no one knows whether it will be ten years from now, or 100 years from now, or 1000 years from now, people are so convinced. Living and working hard to continue the world.

"Do you know, [Foreign Object Containment Club]?"

Suddenly, Sylvia asked such a question, a question that everyone knew the answer to.

"I know, the organization is responsible for handling items with [abnormal characteristics] around the world. I also saw their news this morning, saying that the frequency of items with [abnormal] characteristics has increased, and ordinary people should contact them as soon as possible if they encounter the situation. Relevant agencies seek help.”

"Then what if I say that these tasks are not the most important job of the [Foreign Object Containment Society] at all?"

"Isn't it...?"

"Of course not, but the content that follows cannot be spread casually. And once you start to understand it, it will only become farther and farther away from your daily life."

Looking at Fu'er who was hesitant, Sylvia solemnly confirmed to him again.

"Are you really... ready to understand all this?"

"…………"

The air gradually became silent, and Fu'er fell into confusion, but soon he made up his mind.

"So, tell me-"

Fu'er looked out the window. The lights in a room in the building opposite happened to be on, while the lights in two rooms on the other side were quietly turned off at the same time.

Amidst the lights, night comes for ordinary people. As the lights turn on and off, such an ordinary and ordinary day ends.

He is also an ordinary person, at least so far, he still believes so.

"Since you told me that walking with you is destined to deviate your life towards an extraordinary trajectory, then in that case, as your contractor, and as a fighter against that bullshit fate, I will make some preparations in advance. It’s no problem.”

Fu'er turned his gaze back and looked at Sylvia who had an expected smile on her face. He shook his head helplessly, always feeling that he was being controlled by the other party again.

However, isn't this the question he asked himself and the path he chose?

"Even if I get scolded every day by Boss Xie for not being serious about studying and acting like a dabbler all day long, but since I'm just a dabbler, it's normal for me to cram in before the exam, right?"

"So, tell me, this is my choice."

"Well! You have courage and guts. Do you think you are worthy of being the one I chose? Not bad, not bad!"

As if looking at her silly son, Sylvia nodded with satisfaction.

"Sorry! Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, I will tell you everything you want to know, my sworn one"

Sylvia fell from the air, sat on Fu'er's bed, faced Fu'er, and then began to tell the knowledge that should not be revealed at will.

"Where to start? Oh, we just talked about the [Foreign Object Containment Club], right? Let's start from here."

"[Foreign Object Containment Society] claims to the outside world that it is an organization that contains all objects with [abnormal characteristics] in the world in order to maintain the balance and stability of [the original world]. Although there is nothing wrong with this statement, these After all, it’s just a declaration to the outside world. Have you ever thought about why most of the abnormal objects that appear in news reports are not very powerful? So much so that when the outside world takes action, the Foreign Object Containment Association always uses A containment team composed of ordinary people. If it is just the difficulty of the work, how can the [Foreign Object Containment Club] be on the same level as top-level organizations like the [United Federation] and [Hero Administration]?"

"You mean... they have a more important job, so is it to contain more powerful abnormal objects?"

"First of all, I want to correct a misunderstanding in your knowledge."

Sylvia raised a finger in front of Ful, and then said.

"What kind of objects do you think have [abnormal characteristics]?"

"Uh... isn't it just that it can cause strange events and possess incredible special items?"

"Then, here comes the question. In your opinion, apart from items with [abnormal characteristics], what else can do the same thing?"

"……………………"

Fu'er thought for a while, and the answer seemed to be coming out, but he couldn't be sure, so he finally said in a skeptical tone.

"Are you referring to...[disaster]?"

"Your guess is correct, but it's not complete. There is another answer. Guess again."

"…………"

While thinking, a silvery white light flashed through Ful's mind.

"You mean...[Hero]?"

Fu'er was a little unsure.

"Bingo! You got it right. The answer to the question is [Disaster] and [Hero], or to be precise, [Disaster] and [Miracle]."

"In popular perception, so-called [abnormal objects] are just mysterious objects that can cause strange phenomena. Some people may have bad luck because of it, and some people may become rich overnight because of it. Some rich people even have items in their collections. There are one or two weird [abnormal items]. Some of them will bring benefits, some will bring harm, and some are just like ornamental fish, with no practical significance. The biggest effect may be its In terms of ornamental value, they also have the power of [Disaster] or [Miracle], but in the classification of the [Foreign Object Containment Association], they can only be regarded as [Abnormal Objects]."

"And what is the main job of the [Foreign Object Containment Society]? To compare with an intuitive image, it is a special object with at least tens of millions of times more power."

"If what you usually encounter are only those that can create some [incredible] items, then those who truly belong to the [Foreign Object Containment Society] are all existences that can change the world."

"And these are not directly called [abnormal objects]. Internally, they usually call them [miracle/disaster containment objects]"
