23 The Faceless Man (twenty)
If "farelessness" is essentially a pathological psychology, then Inoue Hito is undoubtedly a pathological person.
Inoue Inoue was based on the clues left by Xu Shengxing, he reasoned that the latter was a psychic. It was not that difficult to reason about this truth, because Xu Shengxing's past life was not calm. Just as mentioned in the previous article, Xu Shengxing was like a fictional protagonist in high school, so his life was actually quite "colorful".
In this kind of life, as a "real minor", he must not be able to always do his best in his work of disguising his identity. It is nothing more than a matter of time to expose it to anyone, but it just happened to be exposed to Inoue Hito.
Inoue Renta did not spread the truth everywhere, but came directly to him, and said to him: I know you are a psychic.
After hearing this, Xu Shengxing naturally did not "kill and silence" it is better to say that he actually had some vague expectations for "exposing his power".
When he was a teenager, he was a contradictory combination. Of course, he was afraid of exposing his power, so he always pretended to be himself; but on the other hand, he was a teenager with fantasy after all, and he also hoped that his "powerful side" could be known to others.
The appearance of Inoue Hito brought him a sense of crisis, but also made him feel a wonderful sense of release.
It happened that Inoue Hito was a guy who was extremely smart since childhood, with a handsome appearance, so he was so handsome that he was above the top. In his opinion, among the students of the same school, only Xu Shengxing, was worthy of contact, and the rest of the idle people were just weeds. So the two hit it off and soon became good friends.
During the process of contact, Xu Shengxing gradually developed more knowledge about Inoue Hito.
For example, the latter has the obsessive-compulsive disorder of "neat" and the double obsession with material and spiritual cleanliness.
"If he sleeps with a woman, he must first fold the clothes that the woman took off before he is willing to climb onto the bed." Xu Shengxing said to us today, "If he goes to the toilet to urinate, he will probably have to wipe the cut and skin in and out with a tissue and wipe it in and out for 17 or 18 times before he will give up. Of course, I have never actually seen the scene of him sleeping with a woman or urinating in the toilet."
"Slowly," Adam asked in confusion, "I heard you say that, do you men usually don't wipe them after urinating?"
"Just, damn," said Xu Shengxing.
Adam looked at me in shock, "Really?"
I turned a deaf ear and just faced Xu Shengxing, "What's the matter?"

Then, Inoue Hito was naturally curious about the reason why Xu Shengxing concealed his power.
It was a physical education class at that time, and Xu Shengxing and Inoue Renta's class shared a playground. The two stood under the shade of trees on the edge of the playground. After listening to Xu Shengxing's reasons, Inoue Renta immediately asked: "Lin Xiaoran doesn't know you are a psychic?"
Lin Xiaoran is my mother in this life, and she was Xu Shengxing's girlfriend at that time. The two were a pair of secretly high school lovers. The secretly reason was that the school prohibited early love, and on the other hand, they were too shy.
"I don't know." Xu Shengxing answered honestly.
"We have to hide it after getting married?" Inoue Hito asked.
"Marry?" Xu Shengxing stammered, "I, I, I haven't thought so far..."
"Ha?" Inoue Hito glanced at him, "Does not love on the premise of marriage behave like hooligans, do you always know that?"
With such righteous words, Xu Shengxing naturally could not refute, "This..."
"The 'Psychic side' is also an inseparable essence. If you make up your mind and don't show it to Lin Xiaoran, then it's better to break up as soon as possible." Inoue Hito said expressionlessly, "Isn't it a pleasure to just marry a woman in the future. "Isn't it a pleasure to be a free and easy bachelor?"
"How can this happen?" Xu Shengxing asked back, thinking of Inoue Renta's family background.
Unlike myself, Inoue Hitota has lived in a family where his parents regard each other as enemies since he was a child.
A few years ago, his mother exposed the fact of his affair, while his father could not bear the humiliation and brutally killed him. Now he is serving his sentence in prison. It is said that the scene of the crime is full of blood, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. No one can imagine how shock and horror it brought to him.
"Why not? After all, why do men have to find women, and why do they have to get married and have children?" Inoue Hito said, "Do you see those couples who are in pairs really happy as they look? I don't think so. Most of the couples in this world have unspeakable dissatisfaction. The happiness after dating is just a temporary passion. After truly understanding each other in depth, they will soon become bored."
"Xiao Ran and I will never be like this." Xu Shengxing promised solemnly.
"Then tell me, what do you like about Lin Xiaoran?" Inoue Hito asked back.
Xu Shengxing suddenly blushed and couldn't say a word. But Inoue Renta didn't seem to have deliberately made fun of him. His attitude was serious, his eyes were serious, and his tone was serious. Xu Shengxing was infected and quickly sorted out his emotions and answered.
"Her mouth." Xu Shengxing said, "the lips are very pink and tender, and you can smell the fragrance when you get close to speak."
"Yeah, continue."
"The figure is very slim and the face is good." Xu Shengxing continued, "He is also quite kind and likes children. Last time I saw a child separated from his parents in the mall, she immediately went up to help."
"What else?"
"If you are not picky about food, you will finish your meals well, but while being strict with yourself, you are also lenient with others." The more Xu Shengxing said, the more immersed him in it, recalling the sweet scenes he had when he was living with Lin Xiaoran. "I am definitely not a consumerist, and I am very frugal. When I went out to eat with her, although I wanted to pay everything, she always asked everyone to pay for it. She always thought about me and told me not to waste money..."
After a while, Xu Shengxing had already said a lot. Inoue Renta nodded from time to time, and then suddenly asked: "What about the shortcomings?"
"Disadvantages? What are the shortcomings of Xiaoran?" Xu Shengxing said reflectively.
"There is no one in this world without shortcomings. You will think that she has no shortcomings, it must be because she is playing the perfect image of a lover to you." Inoue Hito said expressionlessly, "Do you sound very touched? But the reality is cold. The endless play is like an endless marathon, and no one can stick to it. Many men and women will desperately show their strengths in the process of pursuing each other, but they will continue to expose their shortcomings after dating; or, although they still play patiently during dating, they will gradually reveal their true colors after getting married. This cannot be blamed for their laziness, because human willpower has its limits."
"But even if Xiao Ran has some shortcomings, I won't hate her." Xu Shengxing said firmly.
"Is that so? Let me describe a Lin Xiaoran who is full of shortcomings." Inoue Hito said, "You said you like the fragrance that comes out of her mouth when she approaches her, but that's because she brushes her teeth diligently, rinses her mouth in time after meals, and has active oral care, and proper gastrointestinal management. There are many causes of bad breath, and if all prevention is prevented, it will be far more troublesome than you think."
He paused and continued, "After getting married, you will find that the fragrance in her mouth has disappeared, and instead develop bad breath. When you kiss her, you will never feel sweet anymore, and you may even feel disgusting occasionally."
"Uh..." Xu Shengxing seemed to be imagining.
"No matter how slim your figure is, you will easily deform after giving birth, and your beautiful face will become dry and greasy. Although you were dressed well before, you would think about 'Anyway, you would get married' after marriage, and your outfit would become casual. In winter, you would wear bulging clothes, like many middle-aged and elderly women you have seen." Inoue Hito said too slowly, "It's good to be 'not picky about food', but it may also be pretending, people will like and hate food. And I remember you are very picky about food? When she cooks for you in the future, she will inevitably save money and be dissatisfied, and it will be difficult to be lenient with others as before."
"Well..." Xu Shengxing reflected silently.
"And you say she likes children, but that's what people who don't have much contact with them usually say. Children are annoying animals. When she has children, her patience will wear out rapidly, and she may insult or even beat the children like many mean parents. Believe me, this kind of development is not uncommon." Inoue Hitomi assumed cruelly, "After marriage, she may be a housewife, concentrate on raising children, and her financial income depends entirely on you, so there is no question of 'paying each other'. And when you finish your day's work and go home exhausted, and want to relax, maybe she will complain about why you don't take care of your children. When you finally can't help refuting one day, she will burst out suddenly, screaming hysterically, yelling how much she has sacrificed for the family, and you can't understand her difficulties at all. It's like she can't understand your difficulties."
"Not to say..." Xu Shengxing couldn't believe it.
"At that time, you will feel that your wife is completely different from the past, both in appearance and in her heart. Not only do you get tired of her, but you even hate her, and hatred of her why she let you see such dreams in the past." Inoue Hito said calmly, "But you are also wrong, because while she plays the perfect girlfriend to you, you are also trying to play the perfect boyfriend. One day, you will be tired of continuing to provide her with dreams and then expose your true self. A couple who are tired of each other is done like this."
"Are you too pessimistic?" Xu Shengxing couldn't help asking.
He also wanted to ask: Do you have prejudices about marriage because of your family background?
Even, are you talking about your own parents?
But he couldn't ask.
"There are indeed a few happy couples in this world." Inoue Hito finished by doing his own thing, "But for ordinary people, weddings may be happy, but marriages are destined to be bleak. This is the reality. Be mentally prepared."
There was a long silence between the two.
After a while, Xu Shengxing said helplessly: "Although I don't think I and Xiao Ran will develop as you said, what you said does not seem to be unreasonable."
"People's hearts will change," said Inoue Hitota. "Even if it doesn't change because of the truth, it will change because of time. Perhaps no matter what else, at least your favorite thoughts now are true, but 'real' has nothing to do with 'unchanging'."
Xu Shengxing knew that he could not change his friend's opinion, so he just sighed: "If there were any psychic spells that could make people's hearts remain unchanged forever."
Inoue Hito suddenly stopped talking. After a while, he asked, "What did you say?"
"nothing."
"No, you did say it just now." Inoue Inae turned his head and stared at him tightly, "Using spells makes people feel unchanged."
"I just said it casually, and I have never heard of this kind of spell." Xu Shengxing was so uncomfortable that he was staring at him. "Besides, even if he had to study it, he had to become a psychic to study it. What do you care about this?"
Inoue Hito retracted his gaze and said to himself, "Only you can become a psychic?"

Later, unexpectedly, Inoue Renta, who hated marriage, got married earlier than Xu Shengxing.
According to Xu Shengxing, Inoue Hito is still a very righteous person. He wanted to enter the police academy, but he was unable to pass the political review. In the end, he had to change his route and go to medical school to study. He met a woman named "Suzuki Hiro" there and completed the marriage procedures with him before graduation.
Later, he took up a job in a local hospital, but resigned due to a dispute with a black-hearted doctor, turned to start a business, started a drug dealer, and eventually developed the company into the current "beaver Pharmaceutical".
Suzuki Hiroki gave birth to a son for him, named Naoto Inoue, which is now "Hassegawa". The family of three is happy.
However, the good times did not last long. Three years ago, Suzuki Mitsuki accidentally read a book containing "taboo knowledge", and then unfortunately became a vegetable and entered a local hospital for treatment. She has not yet woken up.
"Wait, taboo knowledge? This seems to be wrong." Adam questioned, "In our intelligence, Suzuki Hiroshi became a vegetable because of a traffic accident."
"One thing," said Xu Shengxing. "The taboo knowledge caused the light of Suzuki to hallucinate, and the hallucination happened to occur when she was driving a car, which eventually caused a traffic accident."
"What kind of taboo knowledge is that?" I am very concerned about this.
Because the blood sacrifice ceremony I have mastered is also classified as "tag knowledge".
"How do I know? The reason why taboo knowledge is taboo is that just 'knowing' will lead to extremely bad consequences." Xu Shengxing said with great fear, "Even if I give me a chance to understand, I will never try to understand."
"Can... that's the taboo knowledge related to the 'Psychic Awakening Medicine'?" Adam suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shengxing showed a suspicious expression.
Then I remembered that although I had mentioned the human experiment of mysterious tissues to him, I did not say that the purpose of the experiment was probably "spiritual awakening medicine". So I explained it to him.
Xu Shengxing was silent for a long time.
Then shake your head.
"At that time, our police had conducted strict searches in order to prevent the spread of taboo knowledge. So it can be confirmed that only Suzuki Hiro had read the taboo knowledge from beginning to end, and the mysterious organization would never be able to master it." Speaking of this, he felt that there was a loophole in his words, so he put a patch, "Unless a psychic medium communicated to her and forced the taboo knowledge to be extracted from her sleeping brain."
"In other words," I immediately noticed the most critical part, "As long as there is a psychic, it's okay?"
"That's right." Xu Shengxing nodded.
