I live in Two-dimensional by sand sculptures

01.

Not long after the banquet, Bai Lan returned to Italy.

The day when Qingyan sent him off to the airport happened to be cloudy, and now the midsummer has passed, and the weather is gradually beginning to feel like autumn.

The sky is very gloomy, and the temperature is weird. It can't be called cold, but it can't be said to be warm either. Anyway, it makes people feel at a loss.

"You're going back now." Qing Yan said.

"I have to go back and do various things." Bai Lan said with a smile, "You are welcome to go to Italy later."

"Hey..." Qingyan paralyzed on the seat at the airport, "Why do you have to be busy with business, Bai Lan, haven't you done all kinds of things in the parallel world? How nice it is to play together every day. "

"Ah, about this, I actually wanted to tell you before." Bai Lan looked at Qingyan, there was no smile in his eyes at this time, his lavender eyes were like kumstatite, with a cold feeling : "Sometimes I feel that you are more playful than me. Don't rush to deny it, I know this is not an illusion."

Qingyan and Bailan looked at each other, he wanted to say something, and he wanted to deny it, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"It's not about your daily embarrassing quotations and coquettish operations, but a sense of alienation that comes from the bottom of your heart." Bai Lan continued: "This feeling faded a lot after you met Zhongyuan. , so I didn't mess with your relationship with him."

Qing Yan: "Is that so..."

Different from others, Bai Lan has no sense of proportion when doing these things.He doesn't care if Qing Yan is his friend or not, if he wants to do it, he will really use various means to break up people.

After all, Bai Lan is a bad person, there is no need to deny that.

"I think your mentality has something to do with Onimai Tsuji's curse. After all, he cursed you not to blend into this world-but I don't think you should accept this setting. It's just a mere ghost. If you even This is all surrender, and there are too many places in life that need to be surrendered." Bai Lan said in a reasonable tone, which seemed to him to be a very natural thing.

Qing Yan thought for a while, and told the truth to Bai Lan: "Actually, I haven't paid special attention to this aspect. Sometimes I feel it too, but I think it's good for me to talk about it, so I don't care about it."

"You have your own considerations, and what I'm doing is to give you a piece of advice." Bai Lan turned his gaze to the sky outside the airport window. At this time, the sky was particularly gloomy, so gloomy and gray that there was no sense of hierarchy.He continued: "If you want to live well, you always need some secular fetters and motivation. Playing too much in the world can only lead to destruction. Either destroy yourself or destroy something else."

"Hey..." Qing Yan looked at Bai Lan, and he saw the unfathomable dark vortex in Bai Lan's eyes, "You are not like the person who said this, and it even feels like it is your own experience."

The corners of Bai Lan's lips curled up, "Yes, I have personally experienced it."

"So you choose to destroy the world—then now, you have chosen to take this secular path, so am I also one of the secular fetters?" Qing Yan asked.

"I know what kind of answer you want to hear." The corner of Bai Lan's mouth curved into a half-smile: "It may be, or it may not be. —— If you are interested in destroying the world, I think we will have a good time together time."

"And then?" Kiyoko asked.

Bai Lan smiled slightly, his smile was very sincere at this moment, the sun shone on him, making him look like an angel.

"And then we destroy each other."

He said.

The two looked at each other.

Everything around suddenly became extremely noisy, and the noises mixed together and passed through the ears, sounded in the brain, and beat with the heart.

There seemed to be a bizarre scene in front of him.

Chaotic, violent, mixed.

Qing Yan's phone rang suddenly, he picked up the phone, and heard the familiar voice of Zhong Yuan Zhong.

"I'm going to have a meeting tonight, and I need you to be present. After the meeting, let's go home and have supper together. I just learned a dish."

Very ordinary words, but also very warm, completely different from Bai Lan's words full of dark temptation just now.

But Qingyan felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the world was not so noisy anymore.

"Well, ah, I'm at the airport. Okay, don't bother me, teacher, I'll just come back by myself." He also said very ordinary words.

Zhong Yuanzhong over there also suddenly said: "What's wrong with your voice... has something happened?"

Qing Yan was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.

Then Zhongyuan Zhong also said: "Don't be too tired, I will pick you up."

After Qing Yan hung up the phone, Bai Lan had returned to her smiling expression.

"Wow, that's enviable." He said in an exaggerated tone.

"That's right, that's right~" Qing Yan also said in an exaggerated and showing off tone.

The two acted as if nothing had happened.

But Qingyan knew that this was the closest he was to real danger.

Only then did he realize that for him, a "traveler" and a "three-dimensional man who knows everything about anime", the most dangerous thing is not the enemies outside, but his increasingly empty heart.

After discovering this, Bai Lan reminded him, but it was obvious that Bai Lan was not a good persuader, and even seduced him with words after the persuasion was over.

The two of them said something else, before Qing Yan sent Bai Lan to the plane, he suddenly asked: "So, do you need me to say thank you?"

Bai Lan thought for a while and said, "Need."

So Qingyan smiled and thanked him, saying that he would adjust and pay attention in the future.

After watching Bai Lan leave, after exiting the airport, he saw a man in a black suit leaning on a bench and yawning.

She ran over and hugged him tightly.As if hugging the whole world.

Lucky to have him.

02.

Otherwise, Kiyohiko (has been blackened) may be killed.

——This time I'm not kidding.

03.

Then came the near-endless work.

Chuya Nakahara's proposal for Kiyohiko to serve as the five major cadres was approved, but there will be a period of probation before becoming one of the five major cadres.

Kiyohiko also devoted himself to his work, busy all day without touching the ground, occasionally going to school to check in, or suddenly appearing like a ghost outside Akashi Seijuro's window in the middle of the night, knocking on the window and asking him about financial problems.

In addition, Qingyan also took the time to conduct some research on his own abilities.

In the early morning of this day, when Qing Yan came back from delivering goods at the pier, he happened to run into Nakahara Chuya who was unloading goods at the warehouse on the Black Seaside of Hong Kong.

"Ah, another batch has arrived. The harvest has been good recently." Qing Yan said hello.

Zhongyuan Zhong also put out the cigarette in the palm of his hand, "It's pretty good, it's very chaotic outside now."

"Aha, it looks like Tsuji's death has caused more turmoil than we thought." Kiyohiko said, "Boss should be upset. He didn't expect so many gangsters to raise ghosts."

Chuya Nakahara: "Actually, I didn't expect that either." He shook his head, "It's beyond conscience." Then he threw half of the cigarette into the trash can.

"Why did the teacher pinch the cigarette when he saw me?" Qingyan asked, "Could it be because I said last time that the teacher's posture of smoking is very handsome, so the teacher deliberately pinched it for me to see?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also rolled his eyes: "You're half right. I did not smoke in front of you because of your words. But it's not because of this."

"What is that because of?" Qing Yan asked.

Zhongya Nakahara said: "You said that death is a long queue, but people who smoke often jump in the queue because smoking comes first."

Qingyan: "Hahaha, this sentence is really cold but fun, isn't it?"

Nakahara Chuya: "For the time being."

When the two walked out of the warehouse, they were catching up with the sunrise. Today's sunrise was not so magnificent. At this time, there was still a faint mist in the air, so the sunlight was very soft and pale golden, and the sky was of course crimson.The mist was dyed a beautiful golden red by the sun, and soon dispersed.When everything wakes up, the birds start to sing, and a new day begins peacefully.

"Have breakfast together?" Zhong Yuan suggested.

"Okay." Qing Yan replied, "I can still chat for a while while having breakfast. Recently, I have taken the time to further explore my abilities. With the closed loop of fate, I feel that my control over abilities has reached a new level."

"This is a good thing." Nakahara Chuya said.

They had a traditional Japanese breakfast of dashi omelet, salt-grilled salmon and miso soup.The egg rolls in broth are soft and glutinous, very delicious; the salt-grilled salmon is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, full of flavor; the miso soup is salty and fresh, with endless aftertaste.

"So, do you have any new inspiration recently?" Zhongya Nakahara asked.

"Well, my inspiration came from 'Chongqing chicken pot is a Shanghai dish'." Qing Yan said.

Nakahara Chuya: "...Huh?"

Kiyohiko: "So [100% empty-handed catch white sword] this move, you can also start from the concept of [white sword]."

Nakahara Chuya: "Huh?"

Qingyan: "What's wrong, teacher?"

Zhong Yuan didn't know where to ask for a while, "Chongqing and Shanghai are two cities..." He still knew these two.

"Yes." Qing Yan said, "But Chongqing in Chongqing Chicken Pot is a person's name, and the person who invented this dish is called Zhang Chongqing."

Nakahara Chuya: "...Okay."

"So, I wondered if [White Blade] could be something else." Qingyan said, "I can use all kinds of swords and military stabs to activate this ability. Then, how about extending it?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also understood: "If any weapon can activate this ability, then—"

"Yes." Qingyan nodded heavily, "I can probably use it after I take off my pants."

Central Plains Chuya:?

Nakahara Chuya: "Is this the result of your thinking? - That thing is not considered a weapon."

Qingyan began to gesture: "Sharp sword! Sharp eyes! ②Come and fencing with me quickly! As long as you have a sword in your heart, everything can be a sword!"

Nakahara Chuya: ………

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt a pain in his head.

Qing Yan: "But this is of course not feasible, because the enemy may smash me flat with a 'snap'."

Nakahara Chuya: "I didn't know what to say for a while... It stands to reason that if you can achieve this step, your strength will go further." He tried his best to ignore Qingyan's nonsense just now.

"Yes." Qing Yan said happily, and then he raised his hand and slashed at the back of Nakahara Chuya's neck.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also struck blankly, and remained motionless.

Qingyan withdrew his sore hand and showed: "Look, the hand knife."

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt his teeth sour: "...Oh."

Qing Yan rubbed his hands again and again, thinking in his heart that Zhong Yuan Zhong is also an iron man, why is he so hard.

Nakahara Chuya: "Well... I roughly understand what you want to express." He tried his best to discard his emotions and said in objective words: "Leaving aside the bayonet fight, if you think that the hand knife is also a knife, then the same can be done." Pulling the other party over to catch the sword with bare hands. There are many practical significances of doing this—"

"In this way, I can directly high-five with the other party." Qing Yan answered.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was speaking smoothly, also got stuck: "Huh?"

What the hell?

Qing Yan said enthusiastically: "Of course it has practical significance. If we are fighting, and the enemy suddenly ran over to give me a friendly high-five, wouldn't it make him feel embarrassed and ashamed, and the rhythm would be messed up? Even the prince of Morocco can't be fooled! ③"

Nakahara Chuya: What the hell? ?

Qing Yan: "Then teacher, do you have any other suggestions?"

Nakahara Chuya: "...not anymore."

This time it was Qingyan's turn to be surprised: "Teacher, are you speechless because of me?"

"That's not true." Zhongya Nakahara said, "What I can think of now, such as confusing the opponent, you can only use this ability with a knife, and then find an opportunity to use it empty-handed to achieve a surprise sneak attack effect-you can do it yourself I can think of it. If I think about it derivatively, I don’t think my idea must be right, and it will even interfere with you. After all, your strength is already top-notch now, and you also have your own fighting methods and considerations.”

Zhong Yuan is always so handsome when he is serious.

And he really respects himself.

Qing Yan happily leaned over and kissed: "I love you."

Zhong Yuanzhong also touched his head: "Well, I love you too."

He resisted the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to give Qing Yan a knife (...).

04.

After being busy for a while, Qing Yan firmly believed that he needed a direct subordinate.

Where is the best place to find someone?After making this decision, the first thing to face is this problem.

Qing Yan, who had read the script, directly targeted Bai Lan.

Bai Lan, who has the memory of a parallel world, must have a suitable candidate.

It's not easy to find people in other places, so you can't bring the Ghost Killing Squad's gangsters here.

Although Ghost Mai Tsuji is dead now, there are still some scattered ghosts alive, and the Ghost Killing Team is still busy with their own work.And Yiwozuo turned back into a human being, and was active in killing ghosts with the ghost killing team.

After explaining her situation to Bai Lan, Bai Lan asked, "So what kind of subordinates does Qingyan need?"

Kiyohiko replied: "Masakazu Irie is like that."

Three days later, Irie Masaichi came to report (...).

Oh yes, after listening to Kiyohiko's description, Bai Lan dragged Masaichi Irie from the parallel world over, and sent Masaichi Irie to Kiyoko under Kikyo's watchful eyes of "You can spoil him".

Qingyan was naturally very happy after receiving an entry into Jiang Zhengyi. When he was happy, he remembered something, so he asked, "How did Bai Lan tell you about me?"

Irie said anxiously, "Master Bai Lan said that you are different from him. He said that you are a kind person and have a very pure sense of justice."

"Almost." Qing Yan said, he didn't deny it, "Then what do you think? Tell the truth."

Under Qingyan's watchful eyes, Irie Masaichi said dryly, "I think a person with such a high evaluation from Mr. Bailan must have something special about him..." He said it very tactfully.

"Oh, I'm good at dribbling the ball." Qingyan said enthusiastically.

Irie Masaichi: "Ah...?"

Qingyan: "I'm on the school's basketball team, the era of miracles, have you heard of it?" He was very proud.

Irie Masaichi: "...I have actually heard of it." Although he does not play basketball, the name of the era of miracles is too resounding in Japan.

Qingyan scratched his head shyly: "Don't worry, I think I'm a pretty good person, except for causing you smooth muscle spasms and sphincter earthquakes."

Masaichi Irie:? ? ?

Masaichi Irie felt something was wrong: "I understand smooth muscle, you mean my stomach is not good, you seem to have read my profile, but what's going on with the latter..."

Qingyan explained seriously: "Isn't this for symmetry, to make this sentence look better?"

Irie asked cautiously: "Then you don't need to use the sphincter...?"

"What are you thinking?" Qingyan looked at him reproachfully: "Sphincter is a general term for a type of muscle. There are sphincters in places such as pupils and throat. You comrade is not pure in thinking."

Irie was full of question marks.

"Yes, I'm sorry." He immediately apologized after realizing it: "I think too much myself."

I really shouldn't think so, this is a bit too nerdy, the boss just wanted to say a couplet, but pornographic content appeared in his mind.

Irie Masaichi made a deep introspection.

——One day after entering the river, Zhengyi realized that his introspection was unnecessary.

"It's okay, these are small things." Qing Yan said, "It's normal to need to adjust at first, and we will gradually get used to each other later on."

——One year later, Jiang Zhengyi felt that this sentence was nonsense.

He doesn't know it yet.

That night, Bai Lan asked Irie Masaichi, and Irie Masaichi honestly explained what happened and his own self-reflection.

Bai Lan suddenly felt that she seemed a little too cruel to Jiang Zhengyi...
