Uneasy daily life

Have you finished writing your piece yet? Still sleeping? Can you even sleep?

Is it peaceful and serene away from the hustle and bustle and other people? Remember, this is a place for you to suffer alone!

If being put in a dark room is the same as going home, then we should reflect on our own species.

What rubbish did you write?

Humans need things that are more advanced than those of animals, such as thinking and creating.

Think! Think! Create! Create!

You idiot!

[You typewriter!]

“I looked it up before, and Mr. Okita used to write and direct all his own films and TV shows. This is probably his motto to motivate himself?”

Yukino Yukinoshita said subtly, "What does 'your typewriter' mean? A writing tool? Shouldn't it be a pen or a keyboard?"

The white figure said, "You bookworm, hero."

"You're really quick-witted, able to make veiled accusations and use indirect criticism." Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled. "Then why don't you start revising the script? If you keep going like this, you'll just become a typewriter that can't think or create."

"Hmph! People on the shore are so tough."

"Hmph, I don't think Bai Jun is much weaker in the water."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned back to her desk, picked up a pen, and began to scribble on the paper with a guilty conscience, trying to cover up the scribbled words she had written while lost in thought.

What am I thinking...? Why am I caring about things that are taken for granted and for which there's no reason to care? Can't a person go to the toilet?

When we were living together, I never had any strange thoughts.

Because you and Bai Jun don't share a bathroom? Is your home spacious enough that you don't feel any privacy issues?

What are you thinking about...? Let's get back to our homework.

"Let me check this computer... Sure enough, the internet is down, and it's even cleaner than the computers in computer class—damn! Without the internet, how are we supposed to understand the interests and preferences of the new generation? How are we supposed to gather information? It's like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree!"

The white-robed figure remained undeterred.

"Hmph, you think I wouldn't dare smash the signal jammer? The director is heartless, the screenwriter is unjust... Hmm? It's nowhere? Could that guy have installed the signal jammer on the outside? Or did he add some signal interference material to this dark room? That's ruthless."

The white figure sighed.

"Is this what they mean when they say the most ruthless criminals are the ones who know the law best? No wonder they're on the path of evil; they're really ruthless to themselves."

Bai Ying sat in front of the computer, opened the software, and stared blankly at the empty screen.

"This is the first time I've seen Haku-kun work so hard on serious matters." Yukino Yukinoshita asked with a hint of a smile while writing something. "On the surface, you say you want to be a hater of Sakurajima-san, but in reality, you're helping Sakurajima-san make a good movie. How tsundere."

"The hero not only insulted my character, but also my dignity! I'm not being arrogant, I'm a hater, a pure hater!"

"Bai Jun's logical ability is indeed not very advanced."

"A good script equals a good movie, equals good actors, equals market and public approval? The brave one's logic is high, really high, so high I'd think he had futuristic vision." Bai Ying curled her lip and said blankly, "I never expected that helping Brother Guan Gu would lead to encountering a director of 'The Untamed' who suddenly wants to make a name for himself... Life is bound to have some unexpected events, right? What kind of life is it if there aren't? Seriously? This happens?!"

"So easily startled..."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head to look and saw that the screen of the standby screen was white, with black text reading "Do you have a brain?" circulating in a rotating, horizontal, increasing, and spiraling manner.

It's like a visual headband.

That director is really ruthless.

The little incident disrupted her original line of thought. Yukino Yukinoshita unconsciously calmed down and wondered why she was trying to figure out if Haku-kun's anti-fan logic was accurate... That guy probably infiltrated the crew just to use his identity as a screenwriter and his acting skills to criticize the stars.

Bai Jun is, after all, a proud and aloof person; his words and actions often don't align, much like the repulsive poles of a magnet. So why would Bai Jun suddenly create trouble for himself, even after being tricked into a dark room, and still not try to break out...?

Is Chitanda's uncle Jun Sekiya?

"Based on the original novel 'Them,' the goal is to adapt it into an excellent screenplay..."

As Yukino Yukinoshita wrote, she said, "The lack of plot twists makes the content too flat, and many parts seem to be padded with words. The character portrayals are also rather confusing. The characters described in the early stages all seem quite normal, but then they undergo abrupt changes at the end, which is somewhat illogical. Mr. Sekiya is probably writing about his own experiences back then, right? His writing skills are fine, but why is the content like this..."

Bai Ying complained, "If you write a story about you and your aunt before the school trip, and then write a story about you and your aunt after the school trip, you'll also find it illogical. Or, if you didn't come on the school trip, and only your sister and your aunt had a conflict, and your aunt and your sister went back, you'd still find it illogical."

Yukino Yukinoshita understood and shook her head, saying, "It's no wonder the results are poor because it requires readers to guess to fill in the content and improve the logic."

"Brother Guan Gu must be heartbroken to hear your assessment," Bai Ying said suspiciously. "What's with you suddenly reading Brother Guan Gu's books?"

"Take a look at the original work that had Haku-kun going back and forth like this." Yukino Yukinoshita wrote in her report, her head down. "If you can't concentrate in front of the computer, Haku-kun, why don't you try pen and paper? Holding a pen and laying out paper might give you a different feeling."

"Pour another cup of '82 vintage coffee, warm a pot of red wine, fry a pile of peanuts, the paper has to be an antique dug out of a tomb, the pen has to be made from Li Bai's bones, and the ink has to be specially made from Einstein's brain dried and ground into powder—a fusion of East and West, connecting the past and present, combining romance and rationality, it feels so coooooool!"

Bai Ying commented, "This is the kind of affected art only a mouthpiece could produce; I don't have that kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, forcefully wrote the last line, and looked up with a bright smile, saying, "Shiro-kun, I've finished writing my school report. Where's your new folder?"

Bai Ying: "..."

Study trip report progress: 100%.

Bai Ying is revising the script: in the midst of dedicated writing.

"You can also write one for me," Bai Ying said. "Don't waste your inspiration; seize the moment when ideas are flowing and create!"

"No." Yukino Yukinoshita succinctly expressed her disapproval. "Does Haku-kun really want to be a typewriter?"

"Hmph, laugh all you want while you can still write. Sooner or later, it'll be your turn to be laughed at."

"I'm not very interested in creative professions right now."

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered, "What will Haku-kun do next? Continue being a creator? Or enter the entertainment industry as an actor? I didn't expect that Haku-kun's acting skills could be recognized within the scope of professional evaluation."

"I have a set of standards for flexible employment."

“Haku-kun is really quite easygoing.” Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a moment, “Mr. Sekiya may be limited by his abilities, and even if he has personally experienced something, it is difficult for him to convey it to the readers through words… But when I was reading ‘Them,’ I was unexpectedly moved.”

"Hmm? Let me explain."

Bai Ying became serious and started counting on his fingers: "During my student days, I had a conflict with the group. Various coincidences led to the conflict erupting in a terrible way, and the final result was that I left for another place... The hero is Brother Guan Gu? Why would I have such a dream?!"

"Let Baijun stay in the dark room for now, I'm leaving."

"Fine! Let's each compromise. I won't argue, just give me something."

"Wishing Baijun all the best in her creative endeavors, and may her writing skills reach new heights in the dark room."

"and many more--!"

The white figure reached out and called to Yukino Yukinoshita, saying heavily, "Hero, your eyes are filled with the shadow of desire. State your conditions."

The difference between myself now and myself in elementary school is so huge, not to mention the three years I spent abroad during middle school. Sure enough, Bai Jun doesn't have the ability to know his experiences and feelings from elementary school directly from a first-person perspective...

Yukino Yukino was reservedly smug, only her lips slightly upturned.

"Then let's change it..."

Wait a minute, if we change the way we address him, this guy might not call himself "Hero," but "Hero-1"? Or maybe "Hero Pro"?

If she were called Yukinoshita-san like Sakurajima Mai...

"Heaven invited me to dinner."

“Brave warrior, let’s discuss this further—” the white figure quickly followed up with a rapid-fire message, then slapped his thigh, “No need to postpone it! I’ll treat you to all you can eat right now!”

Bai Ying stood up and took out several packs of instant noodles from the box. She said seriously, "I believe the hero is an honest person and would never lie. Luckily, there's hot water here..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's face turned cold: "Ten meals a day! You cook! You wash the dishes! It doesn't count if I'm not full!"

"That's right!"

The change of expression was so sudden, yet so real. When did the hero acquire advanced negotiation skills?!

The white figure was surprised and uncertain, but not flustered.

I had already physically moved before the school trip started.

Cooking? Washing dishes? When I got to my new rented apartment, I just threw the pot away; I didn't need it anyway.

Trying to take me for a fool? You're still too green.

Jie Jie Jie.

Chapter 157 The Essence of Humanity is Contradiction

Oh no, the condition I made in a fit of anger is too unfair. I finally have a chance to get my hands on Bai Ying... What kind of condition is it to make Bai Jun cook ten meals?

There are clearly many other issues. If it's not for Mai Sakurajima, then why bother working on the script so diligently? Given Haku's personality, even if he were tricked into the dark room, he would find all sorts of unexpected ways to escape—I want to understand his reasons, I want to know his logic, I want to open up his mind and see what's inside.

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "If you think it's inappropriate, then we can agree on a different condition."

"No way," Bai Ying said immediately.

"why?"

"A sudden reneging on the agreement means there's a deeper conspiracy at play," Bai Ying said confidently. "Don't underestimate me, brave warrior; I won't fall for your tricks!"

"Whether or not to agree is up to Bai Jun. An agreement is something that requires mutual confirmation."

Yukino Yukinoshita asked directly, "Why is Haku so interested in this script?"

Bai Ying was delighted: "That's easy, of course it's for..."

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately added a supplementary clause: "I want all of Haku's reasons."

Knowing Bai Jun's style, I feel like he'll just pick any excuse and change it into something completely confusing...

Suddenly, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that the room was unusually quiet. Perhaps it was because the white shadow was no longer there to immediately pick up the conversation. She looked at the white shadow with some doubt, and when she met the white shadow's gaze, she became even more confused—did I say something strange?

"Are you trying to understand me?"

boom.

My heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, so without warning, as if a firecracker had exploded in my ear. A surge of unfamiliar and chaotic emotions swirled and surged forth, trying to drag my consciousness into a dizzying vortex.

Fireworks started exploding in Yukino's mind.

"Hmm? Not the kind of hero who wants to know himself and his enemy in order to defeat the demon king? You really have no fighting spirit. You're lazy, hero."

Bai Ying pondered as she read, "It's not psychological dependence. If it were, your symptoms would lean towards silence and introversion, trying to align yourself with the object of dependence in terms of direction and choices, rather than exploring and understanding it. It's like how you dislike your aunt but crave her approval, psychologically placing yourself in a vulnerable position... Ah, don't be shy, your symptoms are introverted dependence, and mild at that. If it were severe extroverted dependence, that would be a pathological level where you could lock the object of dependence in an iron cage and feed it... After jumping into the river to seek enlightenment and catching a cold, it seems your psychological problems have indeed been cured... The reason is..."

With each shovel stroke, he became more skilled, adjusting the direction and angle of the excavation to accurately and completely recreate the cemetery beneath his feet.

No, you're not allowed to look!!

A strong sense of repulsion suddenly erupted. Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and grabbed a piece of paper from the table, using it as a shield to cover her face, cutting off her gaze from the white shadow. She breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment she felt a sense of wonder that humans wear clothes, and that clothes were indeed a great invention of mankind.

“I understand.” The white figure slapped his palm and said earnestly, “It’s normal for a hero to value friendships since he’s had no friends growing up. Seeing his friends going to the toilet with others without inviting him makes him feel isolated and alienated. It’s understandable that he’s now more inclined to actively get to know his friends and try to get them to go to the toilet with him… But hero, you shouldn’t force yourself to go to the toilet, or you’ll easily get hemorrhoids. You’re grown up now, you should learn to go to the toilet alone…”

Yukino Yukinoshita slowly rose, her voice filled with the sound of wind and snow, eerily gentle: "The white fungus is multiplying wildly again..."

Disinfection operation! Begin!

……

9527 was very worried about the officer's mental state.

Especially when other superiors learned that their superior seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, they often had the urge to stab him, and often made themselves miserable in order to fight that urge.

When sending the mouthpiece and the puppet away, Tai Chang Bu Nian also received some instructions—if Xu Bai's illness were to flare up one day, he must call immediately, and we professionals would rush over to tie Xu Bai up and mock him.

This is probably the dark side of the superpower world: those who fight monsters must be wary of becoming monsters themselves.

Anxinyuan felt a deep sense of melancholy and reflection.

Of course, I politely decline the offer from the Scarlet Theatre Company, which is always open to me; I still know absolutely nothing about art.

Now, the officer and Yukinoshita have been locked in a dark room... Isn't that a huge problem?!

In a confined space, a lone man and woman, an accidental physical touch, impulse overcoming reason... a wall slam! A skillful robbery! Destroying the body! The truth comes out! Wandering the world! Arrested! Meeting parents behind bars! Tears streaming down his face! Oh well!

My heart is pounding!

Angelina stood outside the cabin, looking at the key in her hand, her mind in turmoil—great, the director and Ms. Sakurajima were going to film, and she naturally got the key, but was the key really necessary?

Too long to read: If Shiro wanted to leave the dark room, there would definitely be a million ways, like charging out like a bull – something Shiro could absolutely do! The fact that Shiro didn't do that must have a deeper meaning! Perhaps, in a less-than-ideal situation, he used Yukinoshita as a whetstone to fight against his evil impulses!

9527: What if the officer just thinks it's fun and ends up getting himself into trouble? Yukinoshita is in danger right now, we must act immediately to prevent the officer from becoming a criminal! Maybe the officer is calling for our rescue, but just can't find an opportunity right now!

Gu——!
