Chapter 8 The Collapsing World of Common Sense(1/2)
Speaking of which, this is the first time Yao Ji has tried to understand the world he is in.
However, it was fine when he hadn't explored before, but after a little understanding... he felt his SAN value was falling rapidly.
“······························································································································
It's not just a sissy, nor does it mean that there are a lot of world special effects like a certain Warring States banana.
Speaking of which, although some characters become women subtly, humans in this world undoubtedly follow common sense - no matter how superb martial arts are, they can't make things out. Although there are rumors about spells, there are very few people who see them.
However, it may not be a completely good thing for the people here.
Although it will not cause another privileged class different from power due to excessive force, humans who need to face ghosts and gods in this world are more dangerous than the world they lived in before.
——Even if an ordinary soldier rushes forward, he may not be able to defeat an evil ghost. Even a long-trained swordsman and Onmyoji will find it difficult to challenge those things without gathering more than a dozen people.
Here, quality exceeds quantity.
‘It’s like a barrier…’
Yao Ji instinctively wondered about this kind of thing.
After all, in the history he knew, this kind of thing was not so impossible to exist.
‘Otherwise, many things won’t make sense…’
But in this world, ghosts and monsters exist in a pantheon.
Moreover, in addition to throwing this out, the history of this world is also very strange - the timeline, although the general events are correct, many people are either born early or died early.
——This is undoubtedly unscientific.
‘Too magic’
However, now considering that kind of thing and worrying about what kind of world you have come to... It is not the time yet.
There is another problem that needs to be solved in front of Yao Ji.
That is, the question of how to kill the "ghost".
"It's not easy to deal with... Listen to her words"
Previously, some ghost information was provided in the information explained by Masato Loli.
To sum it up, it's nothing more than: great terrifying power, unexpected skins, and some weird abilities.
The first one is easy to say, because no matter how high the attack power is, it doesn’t make sense to hit someone. But the second and third ones are a bit troublesome.
Although I am very confident in my time-stop, even if the hit rate, dodge rate, and knowing attack problems have been solved, the basic attack power is still a flaw.
Well, this can be barely ignored, because Masato Loli also promised that she would give her a good knife as soon as possible. And even if she didn't have a good knife, Yao Ji could directly attack the other party's eyes.
But what about the third point?
No one can tell what kind of weird abilities a ghost will possess.
It would be okay if it was just to cause fire, rain, or manipulate air... But what if it was even more excessive?
‘Now, I won’t even care about a watermelon popping up!’
It's probably going to be miserable.
In particular, it cannot be ruled out whether the ghost will leave a curse or something after death.
‘After all, my materialist values, which are not firm, have been almost ruined by this world…’
"well···"
I can't think of any good idea.
So Yao Ji could only continue to sit in the corridor, looking at the sky and sighing.
"Although I don't think I'll lose, I'm really a little uneasy."
At this time, the disadvantage of the opponent being not a human will be fully reflected.
Because I don’t understand, I will keep my doubts. Because I doubt, I will be more vigilant. Because I increase my vigilance... I will naturally become nervous.
This has nothing to do with winning or not.
"grown ups?"
Seeing Yao Ji's expression, Maiori asked hesitantly.
"Are you... okay?"
No wonder she asked this. Because it was the first time that Maiori saw the expression of such considerations on Yao Ji's face. In the past, no matter how bad it was in, Yao Ji had a calm face.
——However, in Maiori's opinion, this is only natural.
After all, the enemy that the Soul Demon Ji faced this time was not a crappy bandit, warrior or villagers, but a veritable ghost.
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, there are people who have escaped from other villages in the small village where Maiori lives.
They are people whose homes have been destroyed by ghosts, and they have also witnessed the power of ghosts.
And the ghosts they described were not something humans could compete with.
‘Sir, can you win?’
She doesn't know.
But if she can, she hopes that Yaoji should not go.
"Ah?········No problem, don't show that expression."
Yao Ji then noticed the shaking of Maiori's face.
So he showed a bright smile, he put one hand on Maiori's head, and then said words of comfort without hesitation.
"It's just a ghost. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's nothing to me?"
Maybe it's the truth?
Maiori couldn't tell the difference, but after watching Yao Ji's smiling face for a long time, she did not find any hidden worries or wavering. She decided to believe it.
After all - this was an order issued by Lord Ida, and she was just Yaoji's maid... She had neither the right to make suggestions nor the right to be uneasy.
All she can do is wait for the result.
“·······”
"Hmm? What's wrong? The expression is worse..."
As a result, because I was not good at presentation, my mood was revealed directly on my face.
By the time I realized that I was rude and wanted to hide it, it was too late.
Yao Ji had already walked over and then squatted down worriedly.
“····Sorry, did you worry?”
"No! What, how could it be, sir! Please don't say such things! It's me-"
“·······”
The difference between modern people and ancient people is particularly obvious at this time.
The concept of superiority and inferiority that has been engraved in the bones is not always easy to use.
“·······”
“·······”
Both of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
And in this, Yao Ji really didn't know what to say, and Wu Ji...
"···never mind···"
In the end, Yao Ji had to give up.
After all, for this world, he is an exception and an error.
For this era when knowledge is low and thus unquestionable authority... he has no idea and confidence to promote the concept of human rights.
It is not only difficult, but also inappropriate.
"Then, I'll prepare it first... I'll ask you for lunch."
Standing up, Yao Ji turned around and returned to the room.
Maiori did not stand up until Yaoji walked into the room and began to prepare for lunch.
The staple food is rice and the vegetables are fish.
Because the seasonings of this era are quite insufficient, we can neither cook fried fish nor heavier flavors. Therefore, even if we eat them many times, the dishes cannot be updated, and there will only be one kind of clear soup.
To be honest, Yao Ji is already a little tired of it.
But considering that most other foods are not as good as fish soup...
Yao Ji can only endure it, right?
"So--"
To be continued...
