"When they lack the ability or the corresponding things, they will drown their sorrows in alcohol, or they will gather with other people of the same kind to 'resonate' with each other, trying to portray themselves as a frustrated and aloof thinker, as if their thoughts are above all others."
"When they obtain the corresponding things, they wish they could use an eye-expanding device to enlarge their eyeballs to the maximum, staring at the thing day and night without stopping for a moment, afraid that it would not be consistent with their expectations—although such a change is not a problem in the eyes of normal people."
"Of course, if something unexpected happens, it will feel like the world is ending to them, like they have lost their parents. They will start crying, screaming, and scratching their heads, or they will become cynical again, as if they were tragic heroes who had conquered the enemy country but were ordered to withdraw their troops."
"In the eyes of these people, the stance of love and hate can change at any time. Extreme love is the determination to be an enemy of the whole world for it—of course, as for why one would be an enemy of the whole world, that's another matter."
Extreme hatred is when things don't go their way, their stance instantly changes 180 degrees, devaluing what they once vehemently loved to nothing, and wishing it would die and be completely destroyed the next moment.
It's as if my past affections were entirely someone else's thoughts; "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it" is my true self.
"Many self-important and arrogant people are like that. Do you think that man would be like that?"
Shiloh ruffled Ruby's hair, guiding her into a state of deep thought with his words.
Ruby frowned, repeatedly pondering the description Shilo had just given her, and for a moment she was genuinely unsure.
At least one thing, Shiloh described very accurately.
Someone like Aaron, who has had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood, as if he was born to be a king, must have the idea that everything should be to his liking.
Now that I have clearly rejected him, it has undoubtedly given him a glaring shock, and he might actually do something extreme.
Thinking of this, Ruby's eyes showed a hint of apology. Looking into Shiloh's eyes, she said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not thinking things through—"
Shiloh silenced Ruby with a kiss, preventing her from speaking further.
"How could I blame you? I'm not the kind of person who is extremely insecure. Let me tell you a joke. Among the kind of people I was talking about earlier, I've seen a very interesting example."
"That guy saw that the couple living next door were very affectionate, so he drew pictures of them every day to record their beautiful daily life. But when he saw the woman say 'It's a secret' one day, he started to go crazy, believing that she must have betrayed her partner and found a lover outside."
"So he tore up all the paintings he had drawn for them and went to the man, saying that the woman had cheated on him. However, the young couple had a very good relationship and were not swayed by a few words. Faced with the accusation, the woman took out a gift she had prepared for the man earlier and explained that this was the 'secret'."
"The misunderstanding was cleared up, but the painter didn't seem to accept it and continued to make trouble and smear the woman. Of course, unsurprisingly, he ended up being beaten up by the man, his leg was broken, and he was thrown out of the village... Isn't that interesting?"
Shiloh recalled examples he had seen when he used to come to the suburbs for leisure, and even after many years, he still found it quite amusing to think about them.
Chapter 149 The Knife of New Technology Pierces the Second Theory (3k)
Are there really people this stupid?
What if Aaron really does, as Shiloh says, inexplicably vent his emotional frustrations on him?
I guess I should give that thing to him after all...
With this in mind, Ruby finally made up her mind, sat up from Shiloh's arms, and then took out a small box from her personal space and handed it to him.
The moment Xiluo took the box, he sensed the extraordinary nature of its contents and asked curiously, "What kind of extraordinary item is this? It feels very unusual..."
"【The Mask of Deception】is a treasure I obtained during an exploration of an ancient ruin. Its function is to alter perception, making people unable to remember the holder's identity."
"To prevent the situation you described from actually happening, you can borrow this prop for a while... but please be very careful, it's very valuable."
Ruby tenderly pushed the box into Shiloh's arms, then looked away as if she had made up her mind.
The Mask of Deception is an epic-level treasure, but in terms of its effectiveness alone, it would probably be fair to classify it as taboo.
Such a prop is naturally not something that can be obtained easily; Ruby went through countless life-threatening experiences to get it.
He held the girl's heavy heart in his hand, and of course he wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse her at this moment. Of course, he would never return this prop to Ruby before he had truly stolen her heart.
"Thank you so much... To repay you, let me give you a kiss."
After saying that, Shiloh put the box into his personal space, then pounced on Ruby, sealed her lips with his, and pushed her down onto the soft bed.
"Waaaaah~!!"
Ruby naturally protested vehemently against Shiloh's ungrateful behavior, though it was to no avail.
However, what made Ruby even more sad was that her body seemed to be a little too compatible with the other person's.
Even a fleeting kiss was enough—
Ruby squeezed her thighs together, trying to plug the sticky dampness, but such a futile effort was doomed to fail.
Ugh……
Finally, Ruby, with a "what the heck" attitude, decided to secretly enjoy herself.
zizi——
boo~
"Would you like to do it again?"
"No, no... I need to rest tonight! And I need to take a shower first..."
Ruby looked away, unwilling to meet Shiloh's smiling gaze, feeling her pretty face flush with unease.
"Need a body scrub? I can do it for you."
"……roll."
In the early morning, birds chirped and twittered, and clear sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
"Mmm~"
Ruby opened her sleepy purple eyes, sat up in bed, and then stretched out a big yawn.
I was teased until quite late last night. Although my superhuman body doesn't feel tired, after experiencing several ebbs and flows that I've never experienced before, my mind is feeling a bit fatigued.
Thinking of those shameful things, Ruby blushed, then her mind cleared for a moment, and she immediately looked to her side.
"Ah...so they've already left."
Seeing that there was no one beside her, Ruby's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, as if everything that had happened last night was just a dream.
After taking off her pajamas and changing into casual clothes, Ruby drew back the curtains.
The sunlight outside the window was a bit too bright, causing the girl to instinctively squint.
Sniff sniff~
Suddenly, Ruby's nose twitched slightly, as if she had smelled something unique.
It smells like... food?
Ruby was a little puzzled. After all, the environment around her was very quiet, and hardly anyone lived there. So how could there be the smell of food?
After pushing open the door, Ruby noticed that the smell of food seemed to be coming up from downstairs, and her slightly disappointed heart began to pound again with renewed joy.
"..."
Ruby couldn't lie to herself about the changes in her body; she clenched her fists, her pretty face filled with resentful embarrassment.
Damn it, we've only known each other for less than a day, why is this happening—
Using the pain of her fingernails digging into her palms to calm herself, Ruby adjusted her facial expression several times until it was completely expressionless before taking a deep breath and walking down the stairs.
However, when Ruby came downstairs and looked around, she found that she did not see that annoying figure, and her excited heart fell silent again.
"Ok?"
At that moment, a note left on the table caught Ruby's eye, prompting her to walk over quickly, pick it up, and read it carefully.
The note contained nothing special, just everyday words like "I've cooked dinner" and "Remember to eat," but it warmed Ruby's heart.
"asshole……"
Ruby spat. She knew that for someone of Shiloh's status, spending a whole day outside without any defenses was already the limit. Now he would probably have to rush back to be with his women.
Thinking of this, Ruby's heart was filled with bitterness. She gritted her teeth and lifted the lid of the casserole, preparing to turn her grief and anger into appetite.
But as soon as the lid was lifted, the aroma of lean meat porridge wafted out, leaving Ruby stunned and her stomach rumbling.
Ruby swallowed hard and frowned slightly, surprised that Shiloh, the heir to the Wells family, possessed such skills.
There's no other way, there's really no other way.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
Slurp~
Ruby's expression remained unchanged, but she put the porridge into her mouth very quickly, so fast that her hand left afterimages.
As Ruby ate, she seemed to understand why this awful guy could fool so many women.
Besides having top-notch hardware, they've also mastered all sorts of tricks and gimmicks.
"That...you big pervert!"
Chill!
Ruby, having scooped up the last drop of soup, resolutely uttered the defamatory title.
In the morning, as Shiloh sat in the carriage on his way to Lorthern Academy, his expression unchanged as he faced the intense gazes coming from three directions. He continued, "These are the lessons you will be learning today. I've written the annotations inside; pay special attention to them..."
As I was talking, a soft, warm touch suddenly squeezed next to me, followed by a familiar fragrance.
"The serious business you're talking about... is it about messing around with other women? Don't you have enough sisters at home, are you having to run into someone else?"
The blunt words made Aria blush, thinking to herself that Miss Elena really was...
Seeing that he couldn't fool her anymore, Xi Luo coughed twice and said, "This is part of the plan."
"Oh~?"
Elena's drawn-out tone didn't explicitly state whether she believed it or not, but the burning dissatisfaction in her purple eyes gave Silo a clear indication of the torrential downpour that would ensue tonight.
However, upon hearing Shiloh's words, Irene seemed to understand something and suddenly asked, "Master, is your plan related to... 'fate'?"
Ok?
Upon hearing this, Shiloh looked at Irene with some surprise and said, "Why would little Irene suddenly make such a guess?"
Irene pursed her lips, pointed a finger at herself, and said, "Actually, I always thought that being saved by my brother was my destiny. But recently, it seems that another voice is telling me that being by your side is an outcome outside of fate."
Seeing the somewhat troubled Irene, Shiloh knew that this was probably the intuition that a person destined for greatness would have when they strayed from their fate.
Patting the little girl's head, Xi Luo smiled and asked, "So, little Irene, what do you think of this fate?"
"Being with you is the only destiny I've chosen for myself. All the other destinies without you... I don't want them!"
As if she had thought of that terrible possibility, Irene suddenly shivered, then threw herself into Xi Luo's arms, rubbing against him like a spoiled little black cat.
Seeing Irene cunningly occupying a key position, Elena pinched the little girl's cheek in displeasure, and then said, "Isn't there a saying that fate is an unpredictable possibility of the future, and only things that are certain can be considered true 'fate'?"
"The current outcome is that everyone has fallen for this womanizer, so this is the only fate. As for those vague possibilities, thinking about them will only cause more trouble."
After saying that, Elena rested her head on Shiro's left shoulder and held his large hand tightly, as if to convey some kind of determination, or as if to vent some kind of unease in her heart.
Seeing this, Arya, who was sitting opposite him, also came to Shiloh's right side and shook hands with him.
Sensing the affection and strength emanating from the lovers, Xiluo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, our future together will definitely be our only destiny. Nothing, and nothing at all, can stop us."
As the lead producer of "The Abyss," even though it's a real world, Xi Luo still views it from the perspective of a creator.
Regardless of the original plot, as long as one does not acknowledge it, then the original timeline is a false destiny, and all one needs to do is correct it.
creak-
When the carriage arrived at the academy gates and the carriage stepped back into the academy, the way people looked at Shiloh had changed dramatically.
Yesterday it was all about jest, mockery, and regret...
Today, however, the emotions are more complex, including fear, hatred, and worship.
Upon seeing him, several second-theory magicians in the crowd hurriedly lowered their heads and fled like stray dogs.
In contrast, the First Theory mage puffed out his chest, looked disdainfully in the direction the people had fled, and gave Shilo a look of reverence.
Shiloh didn't care about these people's opinions; the second thing he was about to do would once again plunge the Second Theory into the abyss.
"This afternoon in the college auditorium, there will be a launch event for a new communication system. It uses the latest theoretical security technology and will definitely not be easily cracked like the second theory!"
I'm taking a break; I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow.
Friends, please keep warm and avoid using your phone in bed before sleeping, as it's very easy to catch a cold.
Chapter 150 Xi Luo, actually colluding with the Demon Clan? (Two chapters combined, not finished yet, will check the status tomorrow)
Time flies, and soon it was afternoon.
I didn't see Tyron today; I guess his Dao Heart shattered yesterday.
With that thought in mind, Shiloh packed his things and then took the two women to the Great Hall of the People to attend the new technology launch event.
This was work that Mother Serme had been doing for a while, and it has been gradually improved recently.
