Chapter 957 You Look Very Strange
December 31, the last day of 1688.
Ash took a few clicks, then directly opened the door lock of the rooftop door, and skillfully took out a bottle of spray paint and a piece of cardboard from his backpack. There is a set of silhouettes on the cardboard, which are Ash's double swords, Harvey's coffin, Igura's eyes, Vichy's halberd, Feili's bayonet, Niya's fixed blade knife and Rose's six-pointed star snowflake. .
According to Wei Xi, they needed to spread Ash's soul mark all over the country, but they did not have the professional magic spirit to draw the soul mark, so they had to make do with Ash's weapons.
In order to strengthen the effect of the soul mark, Vichy put everyone's weapons into it. To put it nicely, 'the power of unity can surpass even light', but the ugly truth is 'maybe it will be effective'.
There is a serious shortage of internal magic spirits, and the external mysterious chains are always threatening, and the goal is to instantaneously materialize the soul heaven, such an 'unheard of' big project. If Wei Xi said that she was sure, then she must be trying to trick Ash into sleeping with her.
Whether it is a temple or a kingdom of heaven, for a magician, it is the core of the core, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one's life is tied to it. You must know that Vichy was unwilling to become an angel even to death, just because he did not want to hand over the temple and be controlled by the Lord of God his whole life.
Trying to use temples or heavens to hit people is equivalent to a country parachuting its arsenal and parliament directly into the center of the enemy camp - who would study how to seek death better, faster and stronger! ?
Even Wei Xi only relied on her intuition from the demigod-level soul faction to judge that the embodied soul heaven was theoretically feasible. As for how to achieve it, she could only take one step at a time.
Not to mention other people's soul marks, even Ash's own soul marks may not be effective, but at this point, he can only try everything. Moreover, spreading the soul mark requires everyone to work together across the city. They need to race against time to get busy, and they have no time to worry.
Ash even suspected that the soul mark might really be useless and that Vichy was simply trying to find something for everyone to do.
At this time, even if it is in vain, it is better than sitting still and waiting to die.
It is worth mentioning that since Rose had never entered a battle sequence, everyone originally wanted to use tools such as 'mobile phones' to replace Rose's soul mark. However, after Rose learned about this, she drew a simple one for them. Six pointed star snowflake pattern.
However, will it snow in the Kingdom of Stars...
Ash laid the cardboard on the wall, sprayed it with spray paint, and seven patterns were naturally graffitied on the wall. He turned on his mobile phone and looked at his business scope, and found that everything was completed, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening. It was time to take the car to the Bell Tower Square to count down.
Although Vichy was exaggerating about what "unforgettable memories" are, as if Ash needs to leave unforgettable memories in every city, there are actually many tricks - such as doing things that he would never do at ordinary times. Just do it.
They have already been to four cities before, and Ashiu participated in various activities such as diving, eating competition, tide watching, rock climbing and so on.
Of course, he was not the only one to play, everyone had to play together, so Ash still had a vivid memory. After all, Harvey hit his lungs with his head when he was splashing in the water, and Igurah was eating in the Big Eater Competition. Suddenly vomiting all over him, and when the tide came over, Wei Xi held him in front and got him wet. These things are indeed difficult to forget...
Now that they came to Linguang City, it happened to be New Year's Eve, and the scheduled group activity was to count down to the New Year in the largest clock tower square.
It’s Chinese New Year...
Ash looked at the neon lights in the city and was in a daze.
After a while, he packed up his things and went to a nearby subway station to take the subway.
Although you can call a taxi, Vichy said that taking public transportation can better remember the city. After all, you may forget the scenery you saw while taking a taxi, but your experience of being squeezed into sardines by the crowd on public transportation is. It's hard to forget.
What you can appreciate from a high place is only the appearance of the city, but only when you step into the crowd can you feel the heartbeat of the city.
When changing trains out of the station, Ash spotted Rose in front and suddenly became playful. He walked behind her and patted her right shoulder, then hid to the left.
He hadn't tried teasing Rose yet, and was a little curious about how this perfect assistant would react.
Then Ash saw Rose stop and look to the right, as if she was confused about who tapped her on the shoulder. She stood there quietly, as indifferent as a lily in the crowd, as if waiting for an invisible person to suddenly appear.
After more than ten seconds, Ash had no choice but to say: "Rose."
"Yeah." Rose turned to look at him and asked, "Did you see anyone else? Someone just tapped me on my right shoulder."
"...I'm sorry, I took the photo."
"Why are you apologizing?" Rose tilted her head, but she didn't seem to be interested, so she pulled his sleeve and walked into the subway car.
There was no room in the carriage, Rose was in the corner, and Ash stood outside her. With the beeping warning sound, the subway door slowly closed, and an announcement sounded in the carriage: "The next stop is Tianhou, the door is on the right side of the forward direction..."
Ash took out his mobile phone to check the video, and found Rose standing quietly with her eyes straight ahead, not doing anything to kill time. He hesitated and asked, "Aren't you bored?"
"No."
Ash thought for a moment, put the phone back into his pocket, and asked, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself."
"Huh?" Rose raised her eyes and glanced at him doubtfully.
"You don't have to participate in all our activities, like Big Eater and Rock Climbing. It doesn't matter if you don't want to." Ashi said, "Feili and the others didn't participate in all the events."
In the Big Eater Competition, although Ash, a big eater, finished the competition, it was Rose who ate the fastest. They were also the only two winners to complete the competition. Not only was Igura the embarrassing thing who vomited all over Ash, but even Vichy and Harvey were unable to complete the game due to their weak mortal bodies.
"Do you want me to participate in the event?" Rose asked.
"Of course I hope, but I don't want you to force yourself."
"Then I understand." Rose said calmly, "I didn't force myself."
Ash's lips moved slightly, sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He looked at Rose, his expression suddenly became tangled, he hesitated for a moment and summoned the courage to ask: "Although I feel a bit arrogant,... Rose, do you like me?"
Faced with this question, Rose did not answer immediately, but was a little confused: "What is liking?"
"Hmm..." Ya Xiu thought for a moment: "If I don't give you money, will you still be willing to work for me?"
"Then I definitely don't like you." Rose said firmly, "I will never work for anyone for free."
"Indeed, I don't know how to do it either. I want to hang my own street lamp after saying such words." Ya Xiu muttered: "Then let's ask a more direct question, would you want to reproduce with me? No. In vitro fertilization, but completely naked and obsessed with each other..."
Rose thought for a moment, and then her delicate doll-like face gradually revealed contempt and disgust. Ash had known her for several months, and this was the first time he saw her with such a rich expression.
"...Then I completely understand." Ash took a deep breath. Although the result was good, Rose's expression still slightly hurt his self-esteem, "But if that's the case, why don't you take advantage of this time? Do what you like and continue to follow us? You are not the kind of passionate character who feels that you have an obligation to save the world."
"How do you ask repeated questions?"
"repeat?"
"What exactly is liking?" Rose asked: "What is a person you like, and what is a thing you like?"
"It's the people you want to see and the things you want to do."
"The person I want to see is you, and the thing I want to do is work."
"Then what do you work for?"
"Labor is the essence of human beings. Labor distinguishes humans from animals and elevates humans from nature." Rose said, "I don't work for anything, I work for the sake of working."
"It's written like this in the textbook. Did I do something wrong?" She was a little confused. "It's my first time as a human, so I don't know what to do."
Ash looked at her blankly, then suddenly smiled slightly and changed the subject: "I'm not in good shape for the Big Eater Competition. I will definitely eat faster than you next time."
"Impossible." Rose said seriously: "I know your appetite very well. It is impossible for you to eat more than me."
Ash smiled and said, "Then what if I ask you to lose to me on purpose?"
Rose frowned: "Then it's not a fair game, no."
Ash reached out and smoothed Rose's bangs, thinking that this would be fine. He had no intention of exploring what exactly was Rose's problem. After all, most of the people he knew were seriously ill, even himself. Rose's symptoms were considered mild.
And he wasn't too worried. Although Rose looked like she didn't care about anything, she actually did, but she didn't even realize it. Like a little monster who has just entered society, he is a little overwhelmed by the awakening human nature.
"But why do you have to work for me? Why do you want to see me?" Ya Xiu asked earnestly: "Is it because we are childhood sweethearts and I am your very important friend?"
"We are childhood sweethearts." Rose admitted the first part of the sentence: "But you are not my important friend."
"If it wasn't because of our friendship, why would you work for me?" Ashus asked, "Besides me, there should be many people willing to hire you with a high salary, right?"
Rose thought for a moment and came up with a wonderful answer: "You are special."
"Special?" Ya Xiu blinked: "Are you talking about my impression in your mind?"
"No, your impression in my mind is that of violence, cunning, laziness, and indulgence."
"...You're talking about the old Heath, right? It's definitely him, right!?" The corner of Ash's mouth twitched: "Apart from laziness, I can't be associated with anything else, right? If you say I'm cunning, Igura will cry! "
"In short, you are special." Rose said: "You are different from others. After all, in my eyes, everyone looks strange."
Ash was a little flattered: "So in your eyes..."
"That's right." Rose nodded: "You look very strange."
