"Where...probably, contradictory and awkward?"

"Yes."

Nodding lightly, Xia Ming affirmed: "I just...well, it's a hint in your words, that kind of thing, in layman's terms, is [open the door]. You think I look contradictory and awkward, this It’s the [door]. What I did was just to help you push the [key] into the hole."

"The key... is curiosity?"

"Um."

"Is that...If this is the case..." Shiina Hikazu thought for a while again: "That...Does it mean that you admit that you are the same as everyone?"

"Ah, should you say that you are someone who likes to read mystery novels--"

Xia Ming said dumbly: "Yes, if you compare curiosity to [key], [door] really refers to that thing."

Different from the long-awaited discussion of the chicken or the egg, the relationship between the door and the key must be the former first-the simple truth is that there has always been a key to the door, but no key to the door. practice.

The same is true of using materialism to explain curiosity. People will only be curious about the objective [existence], and will not have emotions about [nothing] that is not even the unknown—you don’t have something you don’t have. How to be curious?

"Student Xia Ming is so amazing——"

Shiina Hikawa said with some emotion: "Looking back now, it was just a few short conversations that took advantage of the trend. You can build an inconspicuous door in the hearts of others and successfully induce people to go. Push it away, it’s really amazing."

"It's very powerful, it's just a blinding idea. If you change to a professional hypnotist here, you probably won't be so surprised, right?"

"Well, this is true, but I still feel that classmate Xia Ming is very good."

"Don't praise me in this respect—"

After all, I only achieved this jaw-dropping level through [cheating]-slowly shook his head, Xia Ming glanced at the girl who was almost always in a laid-back state and said: "Moreover, You are also very good, aren't you?"

"Huh? This..." Shiina Hikawa was not shy, and said in her almost unchanging soft and waxy tone: "Everyone, I do praise me for being smart..."

"I didn't mean that—"

Ding Ding Ding-

With one hand supporting the chin, and the other hand twisting the spoon slowly in the porcelain cup, Xia Ming said indifferently: "After understanding what I have done, aren't you afraid?"

"——This kind of thing is almost equivalent to a sword pointing to the heart and emotions."

Sword finger? This is just a relatively mild term. To be correct, it is manipulation-you can be manipulated by others at any time, and you will no longer be yourself. Who is not afraid?

However--

"No, why should you be afraid?" Here is a special case of thinking like this.

"why?"

"What and why... Did you just say it? Didn't classmate Xia Ming show this hint to me on purpose?"

"This reason is not convincing."

When someone is pointing at your neck with a sharpened sword, even if you tell yourself that this is a performance in your heart, you can’t restrain the trembling that naturally flows from the depths of your heart—because this is what The reaction of normal ordinary people.

"But... I really don't feel scared."

"So, because of this, you feel that everyone rejects you... Forget it, let me ask you another way--"

Xia Ming sighed lightly, considered the following sentence and said: "Do you think I should be afraid? It's not that you are afraid, but that [everyone] is afraid in your mouth."

"this……"

"Yes, right."

"……Um."

Seeing the girl hesitantly nodded her head, Xia Ming smiled: "Fear is what a normal person should have, but you don't, because you know I won't do anything to you, right?"

"Yes... Is this saying that I don't know how to be afraid? However, I also have something to be afraid of, such as bugs..."

Having said this, Shiina Hikazu couldn't help but rubbed his arms.

"It's not, I mean—"

Xia Ming shook his head and slowly said, "Student Shiina, you have seen too thoroughly, and you have taken it for granted."

"Well……?"

The girl wrinkled her face and looked puzzled.

"Ha ha--"

With a smile, Xia Ming said: "Let's put it this way, I have already said it very clearly. According to your insight and keenness, it is impossible to still not know what I mean by now."

"Even if you say that..."

What you don’t know means you don’t know. Besides, having excellent insight and keen perception does not mean that you can perceive the truth and answer to everything by relying on these two abilities.

"It's a terrible thing to see through people's hearts, right?"

"Um."

Shiina Hiwa, who wanted to know the answer, nodded quickly.

"That's why you feel rejected by everyone-you see it too thoroughly."

"Huh...? But..."

"Do you think you haven't seen them through?"

"Um……"

"Because they reject you if they do, so you don't think you have seen them through, right?"

"Hmm--" Shiina Hikazu suddenly felt that today is the most frequent day of emotional changes since he is sensible.

"That's why you are puzzled and distressed-you take it for granted."

Looking at the girl who was still at a loss, Xia Ming said softly: "Your opinion of them is not wrong. You can often guess what others are thinking, and use it as a part of daily conversation, subconsciously speaking. come out."

"It's not surprising that people will vaguely reject you because of this."

Chatting with someone who can almost always guess what you are thinking is actually unexpectedly boring, because you don't need to speak often-this is not a prelude to silent understanding, but a hotbed of silent alienation.
