Chapter 578 The Revelation of The Hanged Man

Chapter 578 The Revelation of The Hanged Man

Unknowingly, the time came to 03:30 in the afternoon again.

The afterglow of the setting sun at dusk slanted into the teaching building again, scattered in classrooms and corridors, Xia Ran walked quickly in the warm orange.

From this time on, most of the students either walked out of the school directly to go home, or went to sit somewhere outside the school with their friends in groups of three or four, or were participating in club activities.

There is also the exercise of running out and in on the sports field, swaying sweat and youth, but the latter is a minority among the few.

Xia Ran came to the special building, went all the way to the fourth floor with ease, then walked along the east corridor, and went straight to the designated activity room of the service department at the end of the corridor.As usual, he directly opened the door of the activity room.

Because generally speaking, he is often the first to come, so he didn't knock on the door, but this time seems to be an exception——

It seems that the classroom that has been left unused is empty, with various desks and chairs piled up in the second half of the classroom, and near the edge of the window, the girl is sitting there quietly reading with her head down, her fair face dyed red by the setting sun There was a little more heat on it.

This made her look no longer desolate like pure white snow, but had a trace of human warmth and feeling.

"..."

"..."

The scenery in this scene was so beautiful and picturesque that Xia Ran held her breath subconsciously, for fear that even the slightest movement she made would break the frozen time and space.

The evening wind blows gently outside the window, and the long black hair like black jade is also slightly fluttering. The girl just reads quietly like this, it seems that even if the end of the world comes, it will not change at all. This scene will go on forever.

Beautiful, lonely, and hazy...

There is also a pure white kimono, which makes her look like there is no difference between duality and opposition at all, but the color is indifferent, just like her heart that observes the principles of the world and the way of existence in the world...

Wait, kimono?

Xia Ran suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

But at this moment, the girl who was reading raised her head to look in his direction, and smiled softly. This smile is like the most perfect realization of the concept of women. Those clear and clear eyes The inside is both transparent and deep, ethereal and endless.

It feels... like facing God.

In a trance, he felt that the entire huge universe was moving away from him, and that beautiful figure was looking at him from a distance that could not be distinguished.

Vaguely, he seemed to have seen, on a snowy night that was completely silent, the girl in kimono was standing quietly on the snow, looking up at the distant space, looking at the direction of the stars.

……

……

brush...

brush...

The obvious sound of flipping a book came into my mind.

"Ok?"

Open your eyes, the first thing you see is the opposite table, the books placed on it are constantly turning the pages in the breeze blowing in from the window, and the wind is turning the books.

Xia Ran blinked slightly suspiciously, raised her head from the table in front of her, and looked around.In his line of sight, this empty classroom, which was so familiar that it could be transformed into a landscape in his heart, was basically the same as before.

It was empty, except for the table and chairs that had been set aside, he was the only one there, even though he had just fallen asleep on the table.

At this moment, the sunlight outside the window is just right, or it should be said to be so violent that the air in the distance is distorted, because the temperature difference causes the air density to be uneven, resulting in different densities, and the light also appears there refraction.

And not far from the special building, on the huge sports field that can be seen directly, there are students in physical education doing warm-up exercises, and some have already started training for playing football or tennis.

Several physical education teachers in charge of the class were standing on the edge of the field in different directions, carefully watching the students' situation, blowing the whistle in their mouths from time to time, and giving orders...

Xia Ran frowned, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and found that it was around nine o'clock in the morning and close to ten o'clock in the morning, and there was still a long time before the lunch break...but he was a little afraid to take it easy Sure, maybe I am still not in the dimension of reality?

Just like just now——

With his keen inspiration and strong divine will, he didn't notice any problems at all.I really feel that I have spent another day in a down-to-earth manner, and I am preparing to spend the last club activity time in the service department according to the usual practice...

He completely forgot that after going to Shizuka Hiratsuka's office in the morning, he didn't go back to the classroom for class, but came to the activity room openly, ready to paddle for fish, but fell asleep unconsciously.

——was he dreaming just now?

——Why did you suddenly fall asleep?

These two thoughts flashed through his mind as a matter of course, and he didn't think about it, after all, the answer was obvious.The only thing to care about is, what is her intention?Are you sending some important information to yourself?

As for why I didn't say it clearly, it was because the initial conversation was only possible once. After that, Xia Ran himself forgot what he had agreed with the other party, but he knew it was very important and couldn't remember it.

Even thoughts have forbidden areas, she can only ensure that she will not be watched before she succeeds, and she cannot interfere too much.

Although there is no reason, Xia Ran knows that this is the case. Even if he has forgotten the specific details, he only knows that as long as he continues to grow stronger and accumulate strength, he will naturally continue to approach that goal.

Gently stretching out his slender index finger and rubbing his temples, he first took a look at the mobile phone that was on the edge of the table, and found that there was no new message or caller ID, he was somewhat relieved.

Although I don't know how the negotiations between the three princesses are going smoothly, whether the results have been reached, but it should not be the worst situation, at least the shrine should not be demolished.

Relaxed, refocused on the matter just now, and thought about it for a while, Xia Ran suddenly remembered that such a thing seemed to have happened in the mission world not long ago.

And it seems that the scene is exactly the same, Yukinoshita-san who was quietly reading the book in his hand under the setting sun by the window in the dream, suddenly turned into the girl in the pure white kimono.

Well, wait, read...

Xia Ran raised his eyebrows, as if grasping a key point, he looked at the opposite table, which was Yukinoshita Yukino's seat, and there were five or six books stacked on the table.

It seems that she won't take the books back every day, but will leave the books she hasn't finished reading in the activity room.Anyway, after locking the door, there is no need to worry about theft.

Besides, there should be no low-class thieves who would be interested in this kind of empty classroom that is basically used to pile up desks and chairs. Isn't it delicious?

Xia Ran stretched out her hand and pulled those books in front of her, casually picked up a reading material and looked at it carefully, Yukinoshita Yukino cherishes books, every book is wrapped in a cover, the result is that if you only look at the surface, some Not sure which book is which.

"what?"

After flipping through it casually, he was a little surprised. He originally thought that the books Yukinoshita read should be relatively famous and connotative literary works.

But now it seems that they are all books related to mystical fields such as religion, folklore, myths and legends, from "Lectures on Astrology" to "Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft", and "Hundred Ghosts of the Past and Present" "some type of.

"Am I taking Yukinoshita classmate?"

Xia Ran felt a little funny, and at the same time had some mixed feelings. It seemed that his previous decision was correct, and he really needed to pay attention to this aspect, and he couldn't ignore the other party's uneasiness.

Looking through it carefully, he actually found a copy of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter". It seems that it should be together with the "Hundred Ghosts of the Past and Present". It is Yukinoshita's efforts to understand the inhuman paradise of Gensokyo ?

Xia Ran thought about it, and then realized that there seemed to be something in the book?

bookmark?

wrong.

He gently picked up the thing sandwiched between the pages of the book, raised his eyebrows, and found that it was a Tarot card, which depicted a "person" who was hung upside down with his hands tied behind his back, A faint halo of divinity has appeared on its head.

—The Hanged Man.

Xia Ran looked at this tarot card and fell into deep thought, so the key should be this thing?

This card should not have been put in by Yukinoshita, although it was one of the tarot cards he had used before.

He once used Tarot cards to try divination, and he drew high tower cards several times in a row. After that, Yukinoshita drew a tarot card that was suspected to be a lover card. He didn't want him to see it, so he directly The whole deck of cards was taken away, and he was not returned at all.

but……

The girl shouldn't use that deck of cards as a bookmark, and the bookmarks in the other books are normal hard bookmarks that are usually visible, but this tarot card seems a bit out of place.

However, this card doesn't seem to have anything special. In his field of vision and perception, it is all ordinary, from the material to the structure, and the identification mechanism of the space has not been triggered.

Either it does not have any special features, or its special features are hidden, and the space cannot break through that layer of restrictions.

"The Hanged Man... the card should refer to Odin's deeds, but the tree represents the infinite power of life, and the golden halo on his head is like an angel's halo..."

Xia Ran tilted his head, and a symbolic halo appeared briefly above his head, which seemed to have a halo of blood in the pure white, pulsating and resonating with the world, and surging energy.

But it was only for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace. This is the change brought about by the fruit of life. Although he did not become an apostle, the essence of life did change because of this.

So he was not quite sure whether this card could be related to this matter.

"Ah, I finally found you..."

The beautiful voice is not only melodious and melodious like a movement, but also full of a kind of graceful elegance, which makes people think of the daughter of a prince in ancient times.
