Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

Of course, there is no point in saying this now.

"So you mean that you and her met when you were in a humble situation, so she values ​​you more as a person, while I met you when you were in a prominent situation, and I value your power or the things derived from your abilities more, rather than your pure essence. Is that what you mean? Just like your essence is that you actually prefer to live in a simple room, but people like me like you who live in a big room?"

Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern just smiled.

Ling Wuji frowned, but nodded and said, "To be honest, I don't think you really like me at all."

She shook her head: "At this point, do you still want to say this to me?"

"I've already said it before, I'm not that kind of person..."

"So, do you want to come more often?"

She leaned over, gently pressed her hand on the boy's chest, smiled and said.

Ling Wuji couldn't help but feel that his life seemed to have become empty.

But it could also just be that he's been having more sage time lately.

Since that winter, this android has given people the feeling that they want to live here and be the hostess, but Ling Wuji did not give her this opportunity. Despite this, she still comes to visit frequently. After all, among those who are close to Ling Wuji to a certain extent, except for Kamijou Kaori, no one is more idle than her. Of course, she is not idle, she just can arrange her own workplace and time. As for others——

After all, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't want to give up her studies. Although she knew that her diploma would be useless after graduation, she was able to temporarily leave the project and continue her studies after achieving the innate level. Of course, she was very busy. Asagami Fujino, Cecilia, and Leticia were all students, not to mention that Arisa of the Shrine Hall was in college...

As for the remaining Awashima Seri, the workaholic, let’s not talk about her.

Although Ling Wuji felt that her relationship with him was not that close.

"By the way, how's Jeanne doing lately?"

Ling Wuji suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Aren't you being a little disrespectful to me by asking another woman in this situation?"

Justisa said.

"But weren't you the one who pulled her in in the first place?"

Although Ling Wuji also felt that it was a bit problematic to ask about another woman when they were sleeping together.

But isn’t the most problematic person the person next to him?

"It's OK. I've adapted to modern life pretty well."

"You speak as if you were a modern person."

Ling Wuji couldn't help but complain subconsciously.

"Yes, if I were a modern person with normal moral values, I would kick you out right now."

"But speaking of it, what were you thinking at the beginning?"

"What do you think?"

"You said you dragged her into this out of selfish motives, so you probably hoped that seeing her reaction after she got into this situation would answer your questions, right?" Ling Wuji said, "Although I think this is really unethical, even if she stabbed you to death, I don't know if I would help you get revenge..."

"If she wants to stab me to death, will she really let you go?"

Justisa said.

"That's true."

Ling Wuji thought about it, nodded, and then asked again: "You haven't told me the answer to that question yet."

"Ling Jun, do you think humans are unchanging creatures?"

At this time, she asked an irrelevant question.

"No."

"So I didn't really gain anything from her fall at all."

Hearing her words, Ling Wu Ji thought that if Joan of Arc was still the same Joan of Arc as before, she would probably want to raise a flag and stab her to death the moment she heard her say that.

"Then why did you try so hard to make her fall?"

"Because at that time I was eager to see her fall, that's all. At that time I thought she would understand me after she fell." She stared at the boy's face, which was close to her, and said softly, "But after she fell, I found that it didn't matter whether she understood me or not."

"Then what's important?"

"Of course you don't understand me."

The tenderness and sweetness in her words made Ling Wuji feel that his sugar intake was too high.

However, if he really thought about what she said, Ling Wuji found that he didn't really know much about this artificial human. Of course, Ling Wuji was very familiar with her body structure, but as for her inner self, he could only roughly outline it. He even commented on her earlier that she was a nearly blank person, but could a nearly blank person do such a thing?

If she could do such a thing just to make Jeanne understand her, then just to make me understand her...

Ling Wuji even felt a little chilly.

Volume 6: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter 4: Involution

But having said that, Ling Wu Ji had nothing to worry about.

After all, in his own opinion, his current interpersonal relationships are already extremely bad.

No matter how badly Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern did, she could only destroy his interpersonal relationships, not anything else. Perhaps she could also guide the new classes that were born after the walls between the inner and outer worlds were torn down? Even so, Ling Wuji didn't care.

So he just went to and from school aimlessly every day, basically not doing anything extra, and his school life was uneventful, except for the occasional twists and turns, such as the workplace internships arranged by the school, and such activities always required students to form teams to participate, which made Wuji's popularity...

Actually, it can’t be said to be bad.

Many people took the initiative to invite him.

But if you have to say it, Ling Wuji actually doesn't want to participate in any workplace internship at all.

However, Ling Wuji did not expect that even things like forming a team would cause people to worry about it, and even do all kinds of ugly things, just to exclude a "redundant" person from the small group, so that the remaining people can naturally meet the number required by the school.

“Although I knew that involution has always been serious in East Asia, I didn’t expect that involution in Japan has become so serious.”

As soon as Ling Wuzhi saw Hayato Yeshan, a member of the football club in his class, showing a text message that was full of bad things about his three friends, he knew what was going on. The school's workplace internships were in groups of three, and their small male group had four people, so the one who sent that rumor text message must have been one of their three friends, and because Yeshan was the center of their small group, he would definitely not be excluded, so in order to avoid being left behind, those three people had to start to fight inward.

“Involution?”

However, this concept that has been deconstructed on the Internet is a bit unfamiliar to Hayato Hayama and other people in the club. Ling Wuji has nothing to do, so he popularizes the concept of involution to them: "Use what you are going through now as a reference. Generally speaking, the person who decides the members of the internship team is actually you, Hayama, right?"

The boy who was very lively said: "We still have to see..."

"Being too modest will make you look hypocritical, Ye Shan," Ling Wuji said casually, "So, the decisive factor in whether or not someone can become a member of your workplace internship team is their relationship with you, so they only need to look at this point. However, maybe it's because you, Ye Shan, have always been fair, so those three people can't be sure who has a better relationship with whom, and they don't know where to start if they want to please you alone, so they started unnecessary competition elsewhere. The so-called involution, or the concept of involution that has been deconstructed, refers to the unnecessary competition that people under the same conditions spontaneously start in order to compete for resources when resources are fixed, just like what you three friends did. As long as one person starts first, the other will follow up, and then everyone in the entire system will do the same."

Hayato Hayama is not a stupid person.

After Ling Wuzhi pointed out the concept of involution, he understood why the current situation was like this.

But he looked at the boy and said, "I don't want to find out who started it. I just want the incident to end successfully. Is that ok?"

Ling Wuji looked at him strangely and said, "Actually, there are ways to solve the problem you want. Even Hikigaya can do it. But, don't you feel uncomfortable? If you make friends with that kind of person, even if the latter is forced to fight back, the one who started it first must be a morally corrupt person, right?"

"I think, since classmate Ling said that the decisive factor in whether one can become a member of my team lies in the relationship with me, then the most fundamental reason is that I am indecisive and have not made a decision for a long time, which prompted them to do so. So, please don't say that, classmate Ling." Hayato Hayama said without leaking a single word.

Ling Wuji sneered and didn't say much.

"Student Ling?"

Hayato Hayama asked again.

"Didn't I tell you that even Hikigaya-san can come up with a solution to this kind of problem? Why bother asking me?"

After Ling Wuzhi said this, Xianchong turned his head towards the classmate with dead eyes.

Hikigaya Hachiman was thinking at this moment, is Ling Wuji's words a compliment or a disdain for him? What? Even Hikigaya-san can come up with a solution? If you ask Yukinoshita Yukino to come, she will definitely choose to get to the bottom of the culprit! As for Yuigahama Yui, it's even more needless to say!

But facing the gaze of the handsome man, Hikigaya Hachiman said, "Didn't you say that? The so-called involution is the unnecessary competition that arises when resources are limited. In other words, as long as someone is willing to voluntarily withdraw from the competition, it will be fine."

"But...but..."

Hayato Hayama thought that Hikigaya Hachiman meant for him to use his killer instinct like Hack did to privately persuade the two prime ministerial candidates from the same party to withdraw. His face looked difficult for a moment. The so-called voluntary or involuntary was meaningless. In the eyes of outsiders, the person who withdrew was definitely the one who was abandoned. For adolescent boys and girls, dignity is the most important thing, so even if he promised to compensate afterwards, that person would still feel alienated.

"What I mean is, Ye Shan, you give up that position and let the three of them form a team."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Hikigaya Hachiman said.

"Oh, is that so?"

When Hayato Hayama heard what Hikigaya Hachiman said, he was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized and nodded: "I see."

He gave Hikigaya Hachiman a sincere smile: "Hikigaya-san is really smart..."

Hey! Your way of complimenting someone by calling them by the wrong name doesn't sound sincere at all!

However, Hikigaya Hachiman was not used to communicating with that popular person, so he could only accept his compliment vaguely.

And after he left, other people in the society looked at this dead fish eye with strange eyes.

“What…what are you doing?”

Although Hikigaya Hachiman didn't think that he had become friends with these people, he still felt a little frustrated when they looked at him with such admiration, because it meant that these people had never really understood him.

But those who really understood him were still sitting there in a trance, not looking at him with strange eyes.

Volume 6: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter 5: Prophecy

But in the end, it was Yuigahama Yui who spoke first: "I just think, Xiaoqi, you seem to be very good at solving these kinds of messy problems..."

"That's not a solution," but Yukinoshita Yukino just said, "It's just a compromise at best."

Although her face was not as cold as before, perhaps she just disagreed with Hayato Hayama's approach, so she was quite dissatisfied with herself for complying with his request and proposing that approach?

Hikigaya Hachiman thought.

"Stop talking so much."

He just said.

Liliana, who was sitting on the side, also joined the conversation with great interest and asked Ling Wuji: "Speaking of which, Ling Jun, is this also your approach? Make those three people into a group?"

"That's about it," Ling Wuji just said, "Anyway, it's fine to let them separate and join other groups. It can even let Hayato Hayama use this incident as an opportunity to further expand his small group. But if he is only satisfied with this level, it's not impossible."

So the people around him looked at him a little strangely.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't even come up with a solution?" Ling Wuji said when he saw their eyes.

"Uh, no."

It was Yuigahama Yui who spoke first.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

"Because of your evaluation of Ye Shan..."
