He suddenly realized what the problem was.
This world seemed a little different from what he imagined.
"You...did you train too much and cause problems with your brain?"
Seeing Wu Ji's painful expression, Mai Shiranui touched his temple worriedly and asked, "Do you want to get checked out and see a psychiatrist?"
"do not want!"
Wu Ji turned around and grabbed Mai Shiranui, and quickly asked, "How old were you when I first met you?"
"Ten, nineteen...what's wrong?" Mai Shiranui felt a little scared when she saw the anxiety in Wu Ji's eyes.
"So how old are you now?"
"I'm just twenty now."
"You mean twenty? Exactly twenty, no more, no less?"
"Right, right."
"Come, sit down."
He patted Mai Shiranui's back and asked her to sit down on the sofa, while asking June to bring a roll of paper and pen.
The other girls felt that something was wrong with Wu Ji, so they all came over and gathered around the coffee table to see what he was going to do.
“We need to reach a consensus before we can communicate.”
"A person's age refers to the length of time a person has lived from birth to the time of calculation, usually expressed in years. After each year, you age one year older. This is an immutable law of nature, right?"
In order to avoid confusion caused by unexpected situations, Wu Ji did not choose the question of Athena's academic advancement, but instead chose the more general question of age that everyone has.
"Yeah." Mai Shiranui responded in agreement.
It's really possible that Wu Ji's brain was damaged as he still needed to reach a consensus on such a simple issue.
It seems that being strong comes at a price.
"You were nineteen in 94. How old were you in 95?"
"Twenty."
"What about '96?"
"Twenty."
"What about '97?"
"Twenty."
Hearing Mai Shiranui's answer, Wu Ji nodded and wrote down the corresponding age for each year on a piece of paper.
"So you've noticed something? She hasn't aged since 95."
"According to the natural law of growing one year older, Mai Shiranui should be 22 years old this year, but her self-perception of her age remains at 20 in 1995."
"There must be something in this world that causes this strange phenomenon... Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"
When you get the truth, what you get is not everyone's sudden enlightenment, but pairs of pitying eyes.
"What are you talking about? Why would someone who was twenty years old in 95 become twenty-two in 97?"
Yuri Sakazaki is the same age as Mai Shiranui, and this is the first time she feels that she has surpassed Wu Ji in IQ.
"Since Sister Xiao Wu is already twenty years old, she will always be twenty years old unless she turns twenty-one."
Joan also nodded in agreement. "That's right, just like I'm four years older than Sayuri and the others, so I've always been twenty-four. It's simple."
"Wu Ji, you really have a problem. You should see a doctor as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, go check it out, senior. Brain problems are a serious matter."
"Oh, this is called evil deeds will be punished."
"Xiao Kui, keep your voice down! Be careful he might catch you."
Some people worry that there are people like Kusanagi Aoi who gloat over other people's misfortunes.
Wu Ji observed the women in front of him. Even though their feelings towards him varied, one thing was certain—
There is something wrong with their perception of age and time.
No, not just them.
It seems that these are the consensus of this world, and if you violate the consensus, you will become an alien in their eyes.
Just like the normal people in Diary of a Madman.
"Okay, I'll just ask one last question."
He looked at Mai Shiranui seriously: "When will you be twenty-one?"
"What are you talking about? I'm twenty years old this year, which means I'll be twenty-one next year."
“What year is next year?”
"Next year is next year. Who says what year it is? What's wrong with you today? It's really weird!"
confirmed.
There is something wrong with this world.
......
"Teacher Wu Ji, I'm sorry, I really don't know."
Athena held a bouquet of flowers and looked at Wu Ji lying on the hospital bed, crying bitterly.
"I really, really never knew you had time perception syndrome."
"I, I actually said you didn't care about me... Turns out I'm the one who really doesn't care about the other person's feelings..."
When she heard the news that Wu Ji was ill, she stumbled over.
“I’m… sorry…!”
The choked apology was mixed with heavy breathing, and the strong regret almost burned her out.
She misunderstood Wu Ji, completely misunderstood him.
It's not that he doesn't care, but he simply doesn't have the ability to care.
How can you blame a patient?
She buried her face in Wu Ji's chest like a child who had done something wrong, and her tears instantly soaked Wu Ji's blue and white hospital gown.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with me. The doctors say I'm healthy."
"Yes, the doctor said he has never seen such a healthy person. It's a pity that there is something wrong with the perception of the time involved." Mai Shiranui, who was watching over her, shook her head.
Holding up the medical report, she explained, "The typical symptom is a confusion in the perception of the passage of time, such as age and schooling, for certain groups of people, with a sense of rapid passage, like a 'time tunnel.'"
"I can't tell the exact time scale, but there's nothing wrong with my daily routine. I need to observe for a while."
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise you would really have to go to a mental hospital."
She half-jokingly and half-seriously complained, "But there shouldn't be any mental hospital in this world that can hold you. If you really go crazy, remember to notify me in advance, so that I don't get killed by you and have no place to seek justice."
Wu Ji was too lazy to pay attention to her.
He already knew what the problem was.
The so-called confusion in his perception of the passage of time for a specific group of people actually means that he can't sort out the passage of time related to the fighters, and can't tell how old they are this year, how old they will be next year, when they will graduate, and when they will become adults.
But to ordinary people, everything is normal.
In other words, in this world, the age of some minority groups such as fighters is strictly restricted, and their respective careers will stagnate at a certain stage.
JK will always be JK, while little girls like Rose will grow up normally to adulthood and then be frozen in time and no longer grow up.
Ordinary people don’t have these worries. Birth, old age, sickness and death, everything goes on as usual.
It's not him who is wrong, it's the world.
"So this is how they fix the fighters' ages at a certain peak, preventing problems like aging, illness, and death that can cause a decline in strength?"
Wu Ji seemed to be thinking about something.
The plot of the King of Fighters world has been developing continuously for more than ten or twenty years. The young and beautiful JK girl idol in 94 is still a JK girl thirty years later.
Iori Yagami, who was supposed to have a short life, lived for more than 30 years and was still a top fighter. He was not affected by the Yagami family's short-life curse at all.
This is why he liked to call Athena an old woman pretending to be young before he traveled through time.
At such an old age, she still continues to form a JK team with the new JK beauties. Isn't it just that the old woman pretends to be a virgin?
But this is a real world, we can’t use something as unreasonable as settings to explain it, right?
It's not some world modulation mode.
What's the problem?
"But does this indirectly achieve the condition of immortality for all fighters? The immortality that Emperor Jisi and his group are striving for has already been achieved?"
"Wait... Mai Shiranui said she was still normal in '95, aging normally, and Athena also moved up a grade in school."
"The problem must have occurred in 95. What happened between 95 and 96?"
"The Great Snake Clan is gradually awakening? No, that's not the reason. They've been reincarnating for over a thousand years now, and I've never heard of anyone being immortal."
"Is it because I traveled through time and space and caused a time paradox? That's not right. If that were the case, there would have been problems in 94."
"At the end of 95, I seemed to have gone to Europe and sensed the power of time and space."
"Could it be... that power!"
The figure of a little white-haired boy appeared in front of Wu Ji.
Ash!
The god behind him seemed to have the ability to control time! If he wasn't careful, it would cause a series of space-time problems.
"It seems like I have to find an opportunity to go to Europe again." Wu Ji's eyes were deep as he determined his next goal.
"Hmm? Teacher Wu Ji, did you say anything?"
Athena, who was crying in his arms, raised her head in a daze.
"Oh, nothing. I was saying that since it's nothing serious, shouldn't you change into uniforms that suit the situation in a place like a hospital?"
"...Really? He's still sick now."
Athena blushed when she remembered the clothes Wu Ji prepared for Mai Shiranui in the Shiranui Gym.
"Hey, hey, hey, a certain idol just called me a scumbag and ran out crying. My heart aches so much right now. I wonder if there's some complication coming back."
"Ugh...I know now."
No rejection.
Mai Shiranui and Athena looked at each other and found somewhere to borrow a pink and white and pure white nurse uniform.
Chapter 229 Goenitz's Relics
"What's wrong? Our Lord Wu Ji is also afraid of women one day?"
"Why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days and enjoy the care of various nurses in shifts? That should suit you well, right?"
On the private plane heading to Europe, Weiss teased Wu Ji jokingly.
In the past few days, under the pretext of treatment, he has been playing around in that hospital, changing the scenes of doctor and patient, doctor and nurse, and nurse and patient several times.
Even Mai Zhuo and Weiss put on professional uniforms one day to serve his patient.
"Who said I'm afraid? Stop gossiping, I'm going to get down to business!"
"Speaking of which, I have a question for both of you."
This time, Wu Ji was accompanied by his two secretaries, Mai Zhuoweisi. After all, Europe was their territory, and this operation was also related to them.
The two secretaries sitting opposite exchanged glances.
Mai Zhuo crossed her slender legs and parted her red lips: "What's so serious?"
"You two..." Wu Ji took a deep breath and asked the question buried in his heart: "How old are you this year, and how old will you be next year?"
