On the banks of the Kamogawa River, the festival celebrating the fire sending ceremony was at its busiest time.

The blazing bonfire illuminated the night, and someone was playing the Kagura flute, and the sound of the flute echoed melodiously with the drums, and the lively laughter was full of joy.

The bright lights of the celebration and the lively voices of the crowd are far away from the two of them at this moment, as if they happened in a distant world.

Tonight's moon will be half full and high in the sky.The empty courtyard was covered with silvery moonlight, and the night wind disappeared at some point. After the sound of the wind quieted down, the surrounding silence became clearer and audible.

"...Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?" A'Du asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't it be easier to keep it from me?"

If it was before, if someone told her that she could read minds, she would definitely not believe it, or even take the other person's words seriously.

"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

As a student of the Department of Psychology, she has been asked this question so many times, that whenever she is asked about her major later, she will subconsciously add: No, she can't read minds, and she can't guess the other person's mind. What are you thinking.

No one in this world can truly read minds.

But now she has traveled to Heianjing thousands of years ago, and she has seen "ghosts" that cannot be explained by common sense. Not long ago, she even chopped off a giant snake with eight heads. It is easy to understand and accept.

Most importantly, King Makang Yeh has no reason to lie to her, and there is absolutely no need to do so.

Besides, what good would it do to tell others that you can read minds?

She couldn't think of it, and she couldn't even imagine how this person lied.

At first, the brain that was blanked by the shock seemed to be slowly reacting, and the frozen thoughts began to flow again.

"...No, wait a minute." A'Du raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "You said just now that you know everything I'm thinking about."

She asked the crucial question: "How long has this been going on?"

After a pause, Adubi made continuous gestures, connecting two points horizontally in the void: "I mean, from the first time I saw you until now, can you always hear what I'm thinking in my heart? "

"...the ability to read the voices of people around you is called "spiritual vision". " Ma Cang Ye Wang said quietly, "But unfortunately, I can't control this ability personally. "

"..."

Okay, she got it, he has the ability to read minds passively.

After confirming that King Ma Cang Ye could read minds, A'Du felt as if she had seen a revolving lantern.

No, the description of revolving door is not accurate. As a normal person, after discovering that the people she gets along with day and night can see through her mind, it seems that a book opened in her mind instantly, and the thick book was flipping through. A page full of embarrassing things she's done in her life.

The pages of those books turned quickly, as if being blown by a strong wind, all kinds of memories flew out like snowflakes in the storm, and there were even various colored films recommended by her college roommate... Stop! !

She held her head in her heart.

Stop it!Can't think about it anymore! !She can no longer pollute each other! ! !She has to save the last bit of face of modern people... Ah, although that kind of thing may no longer exist after the flash of the colored picture.

Damn it!Why are the sexual fetishes of modern people so strange! !You all cheer me up! !

With a bang, she forcibly closed the book with her willpower, holding it tightly in the posture of a wrestler hugging an opponent.

A'Du covered her face, she didn't want to do this at first, but when she realized it, she had already covered her face and bowed her head deeply:

"……Feel sorry."

Let you see something very bad.

"...It's okay." Ma Cang Ye Wang seemed to smile slightly, "I'm used to it."

"..."

Feel more guilty, okay?The fact that the other party was so reasonable made her feel even more ashamed! !Her mental activities have all turned into exclamation points! !The exclamation point can't stop! !

Looking back now, what has she been thinking in her heart during this time?

Have the words of praising the other party as a living Bodhisattva been heard by the other party?

"I heard you."

She heard the sound of knocking on the Buddhist altar, a clear sound, and the sound of metal echoed infinitely in her mind.

A'Du closed his eyes.

After giving up being a human being, my mentality suddenly became peaceful.

"You don't have to feel so ashamed." Ma Cang Ye Wang said gently, "I have heard more voices than you can imagine...a lot."

These words brought A'Du back to his senses.

"This ability, I mean, this ability called spiritual vision, isn't there any triggering condition?"

From waking up every morning to going to sleep at night, for so many years, can he hear the voices of the people around him every moment?

"...That's right."

In this world, no matter what kind of person he is, there will always be a dark place in his heart.

No matter whether you are poor or rich, young or old, kind or evil, as long as you are a human being, you will more or less have thoughts in your heart that you can't see people, and you shouldn't see them.

This is a very normal thing, and the thoughts in the heart cannot completely represent a person's good or bad. The law judges the good and evil of a person by behavior, not by thought.

But just like people need to wear clothes, everyone has a need for privacy.

There are some things that you don't want to be exposed to others, and others don't want you to be exposed to them.

The human heart cannot withstand prying eyes.

It would be fine if I could selectively read the voices of others, but if it is passive...

She tried to imagine what that felt like.

To use a bad analogy, doesn't that feel like living in a world where everyone is exhibitionist.

...feeling worse.It was getting worse and worse the more I thought about it, it made me want to escape from this planet overnight.

——Compared to becoming an onmyoji, it would be better for this person to retire earlier, right?

This idea suddenly appeared in A'Du's heart.

Wouldn't it be nice to find an inaccessible place with green waters and green mountains and enjoy retirement in advance?

"Do you think so?" Ma Cangye Wang has been acting very calm, but her heart is going up and down like a roller coaster, and she feels that she will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"You think I should give up what I'm doing now and leave this capital."

"..." It's very difficult to think about it. In this age of demons and disasters, even a newcomer like her can feel the dependence of others on the Great Onmyoji Ma Cang Ye Wang, including those who are arrogant. The noble minister.

Even if those people are afraid of the Great Onmyoji who can command ghosts and gods, they have to admit his irreplaceable importance.

No, maybe it is precisely because of such dependence that I hate fear all the more.

The more he realized that his life was in the hands of the other party, the more distorted fear he felt towards this person.

"...I don't think you should give up." She hesitated, "I just think that if you are too tired, you are the most important thing."

Then A'Du realized a problem.

"Does anyone else know that you can read minds?"

"It's just a few people." King Ma Cang Ye said with a smile, "Those people are afraid of me, aren't you afraid?"

A'Du froze for a moment.

"I think..." She opened her mouth, "I don't think it's you that they're afraid of."

It's the feeling of having nothing to hide from someone.

Because Ma Cang Ye Wang can read minds, he is like a mirror, which can clearly reflect the darkest part of a person's heart.

Nobody wants to look in a mirror like that.

Some things can pretend not to exist as long as they are not seen by others, but once they are reflected, people have no way to continue to deceive themselves and others.

What those people are really afraid of is what they see in that mirror.

The moon is hidden in the clouds, and the midsummer night is cool. On the distant riverside, the music of the celebration is still going on.

"Well, aren't you afraid?"

The night wind was blowing, and the sound of drum music seemed to be approaching. Those lively and cheerful sounds were beating, but they were blocked by invisible barriers.

"If you say you're not afraid..."

she asked herself.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared."

She is just an ordinary person.

"But compared to the fear of being mind-reading—" A'Du's voice suddenly softened slightly:

"I seem to be more afraid of losing important friends."

She was really happy when he said he wanted to know about modern things.

In the 80s of the twentieth century, scientists discovered a strange whale.Ordinary whales sing between 10 and 39 hertz, but this whale's song is different from other whales, with a frequency of 52 hertz.

Other whales cannot hear this whale's song, nor can they hear what it says, no matter how hard it sings and how hard it tries to speak to its fellows.

This whale has been called the loneliest whale in the world by scientists, but she is not the case in this era.

The theory of a round sky and a round place is wrong. The earth is not the center of the world. From the perspective of the universe, the planet inhabited by human beings is just a speck of dust in the vast galaxy. Even the human species itself, in the long history of the earth, It's just a spark that flickered at the last second.

□□It is not the punishment from the gods. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth's crust. Humans get sick because of viruses and bacteria that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The moon will not be swallowed by the tengu.

In this day and age, she speaks a language that no one can understand.

That feeling is even worse than being a mute, because she can obviously make a sound, can yell, and can even grab a random passer-by on the street and tell him that the world is round and is a world that is always round. A sphere rotating in this vast universe.

But if she did that, she would just be treated like a lunatic.

Even if she could make a sound, even if she could use language, even if she shouted until her voice became hoarse, no one would be able to understand what she was saying.

So when he told her that he was very interested in modern times and that he wanted to learn her language and understand her era, she was really happy at that time.

It was as if those heavy memories, those things that only she could understand, those things that squeezed her chest all the time, suddenly gained the outlet of salvation.

The feeling of not being understood by anyone is so lonely.

Maybe the ability to read minds is really scary, so scary that other people can't avoid it, but no matter from which angle she thinks about it, she is saved by this ability.

So even if everyone in the world is afraid of King Ma Cangye's ability to read minds, she is the only one who can't do it.

Everyone else could choose to escape, but she couldn't, because she was saved from the loneliness in her heart by this ability and the gentleness of this person.

So she decides.

Although this decision is extremely abrupt, and may even seem inexplicable, in the future... no, maybe she will regret it now...

"Since you can't control your mind-reading ability," A'Du closed his eyes and shouted loudly:

——"Then show you my heart!"

The nature of the matter is quite different.

"Isn't it reading minds?!"

I don't want to become alienated, I don't want to be like a stranger, now that I have decided, I must overcome my instinctive fear of reading minds.

—she would never run away, nor would she want to.

A'Du opened his eyes and looked at the dazed Onmyoji.

"My messy heart, you can listen to it if you want."
