I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

I have to suspect that I was conceiving the plot of the novel in my dream first, or that the high-level Ju Ji was hallucinating after drinking too much, otherwise why would a talking turtle suddenly pop out and keep saying that she wants to repay her favor.

Because when I conceived the novel, I didn't wear those glasses, so I shouldn't be able to see the curse.

But wouldn't it be even more strange if the tortoise could talk without being cursed?

It doesn't look like a curse skeleton either.

I had all kinds of thoughts in my mind, and in action, I had already left the balcony, went downstairs to find the turtle in the grass, and brought it upstairs.

After going upstairs, I picked up the special glasses placed on the folding table and took another look at the tortoise. It still looked like a tortoise, and there were no other strange appearances.

"Enoshima... Are you that turtle that doesn't look very nutritious?" I looked at the turtle for a long time before I considered my opening.

The main reason is that I have no impression. After all, no fisherman can clearly remember the aquatic products he caught and released, let alone I have caught turtles more than once, unless it is more memorable, such as It is said that the fish that Xia You caught was a colorful fish with a water pollution style, so I probably have a little impression.

That fish was finally released.

But after the old tortoise explained the situation, I vaguely recalled that I had indeed caught a tortoise the size of a bull's head.

"That's right, it's me." The old turtle walked a few steps slowly on the table, "For so many years, you are the first person who caught me and let me go without hesitation, and I decided to repay you .”

"So, are you going to take me to visit the Dragon Palace?" I said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then forget it, I don't want to visit the Dragon Palace and lose touch with the times, and become an old woman when I come up. "

The old tortoise seemed to choke, "Of course it's not the Dragon Palace. There's no such thing as a Dragon Palace. Those are stories you humans made up for children."

But the principle of the curse is precisely that the more people listen, the false will become true.

"Even if it really existed, it would have collapsed long ago after such a long period of land changes and various earthquakes." The old tortoise made an old voice full of wisdom, and the words he said were surprisingly materialistic.

"Then how do you repay your kindness?" I bent slightly to meet the old tortoise's wise eyes, and asked curiously with my head tilted.

I have made up my mind, if the old tortoise asks me what my wish is, I will make a wish to let the notebook and pen move by themselves to help me write the novel, even if I write it according to my outline, so that I don't have to rack my brains. The brain goes to the words and sentences.

——It can be said that this is the common wish of all literary creators.

However, the old tortoise didn't come to ask my wish as I hoped. After raising his head, his voice suddenly became extremely solemn and distant, "Good-hearted man, you..."

"Want to live forever?"

...

...Um?

...what?

For a moment, I suspected that I had heard it wrong, so I blinked my eyes.

"Is it the Immortal I understand?"

"That's right, it's the one you understand." The old turtle stared at me seriously, "I will never grow old or die, and stay young forever."

...

I blinked again, "Ah, this..."

Originally, I was just listening to it casually, thinking that I would at most give it a superpower or something, but who knew that I would actually hear this... how should I put it, it's a very subtle thing.

First of all, in various legends and stories from ancient times to the present, immortality does not seem to be a good thing, not to mention that it is offered by others, it is more like a trap or conspiracy.

Besides, even without these considerations, I don't think there is any need to prolong my boring life purely for the result of "immortality".I sometimes feel that living to eight or ninety is a little too long.

Because I don't think I should want to start a family with someone.

So my mother is already my last relative. When she gets old and leaves one day, I will have no relatives anymore, and truly become [Only where I am is my home].

At that time, even I would probably feel lonely.

If there is another immortal buf at this time, it would be too scary.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in this." I straightened up, rejected the old turtle's repayment, and said tactfully, "Otherwise, you should find someone who wants to live forever to repay the favor."

The old tortoise was puzzled, "Why? Many of you humans are pursuing immortality, you can have endless time."

"That's true, but..." I smiled and said, "Only a short life is meaningful."

"Okay, please go back."

The old tortoise was dumbfounded.

In fact, if it wasn't for the Kyoto sister school exchange meeting held by the Conjuration Academy, I would still call Gojo Satoru to see what is going on with this tortoise who only said that he wanted to repay his favor. Your immortality' is very suspicious, right?I suspect that's normal too.

The old tortoise, who was still in a daze and tried to give me Amway's immortality just now, smiled and said with relief, "You have passed the test, good-hearted man."

"?" I couldn't help but type a question mark slowly.

Hey guys, and inversion?

"Sure enough, I did not misunderstand the person, so I can rest assured to tell you the whereabouts of the last piece of mermaid meat in this world." The old tortoise stood up with two hind feet on the ground, patted the tortoise shell on his abdomen, and slid from the inside of the tortoise shell. He took out a large piece of scale, handed it to me and urged me to take it, "Good boy, follow it quickly."

I couldn't help but sighed, "What I just said was not a polite concession, I really don't need this."

"It doesn't have to be for your own use. Think about it, what if the people around you are about to die one day?" The old turtle pointed out, "And the mermaid meat is not only used for this purpose, but also for other uses. some use"

I rejected the hand meal.

The old tortoise immediately stuffed the scales into my hands.

The scale was still slightly cool and humid after it was picked up, and the texture to the touch was slightly different from that of some fish scales that had fallen off for a long time, and it felt fresh.

Just a single scale seems to contain surprising vitality.

I was about to say something, when I raised my eyes, I suddenly felt something black in my eyes, because I was subconsciously concerned, I turned my eyes back, and found that there was a black barrier in the sky outside the balcony, and soon Enclose an area inside.

It's an account.

Having experienced it many times, I recognized it at a glance.

Where I am now, I can still see the blue sky, and the place wrapped by that tent seems to be...the demarcated area they said that the Kyoto sister school exchange meeting is held, mainly in the mountain forest, and the distance curse The dormitory and teaching buildings of the Technical College are not very close.

Well, this is probably the normal process of their communication, right?Put an account to delineate the area or something.

Such thoughts flashed through my mind, and I didn't plan to pay any more attention.

But a few minutes later, there was a sudden slight tremor on the ground, which came from the designated area where the A-type meeting was held. The wine glass I put on the table was driven by this slight tremor and moved to the edge of the table.

The general lying on the floor pricked up his ears and looked around vigilantly.

"Did they make such a big noise? It's almost like an earthquake." I held onto the wine glass, glanced in the direction where the tent fell, and decisively took the general to pick up the puppet cat and planned to leave the room first, in case the building In case of collapse.

The others are all curses, so don't worry about them for now.

"And me, good-hearted man!" The old turtle shouted hastily.

I looked back and called out.

Jiao quickly scooped up the old turtle on the table and followed him.
