Chapter 102: Tensyoin Miyuki's Secret (2)
"......"
Tensyoin Miyuki felt as if her breath had suddenly stopped at that moment, unable to breathe.
Seeing Tensyoin Miyuki's reaction, the tall man excitedly spoke.
"So, it's true. You're my senior after all. I've been wanting to meet you since I learned about this plan. After all, I am the main person in charge of this PC plan. Oh, sorry for rambling on. Maybe you don't even know my name yet. Better late than never, let me introduce myself. I am the captain of the government special research agency, codenamed 'Merciless.' My real name doesn't matter anymore."
However, Tensyoin Miyuki didn't pay attention to his following words.
"PC..."
Although she had always wanted to forget about this term, she couldn't. After all, at this stage, she couldn't use her own ability. Her sealed memories resurfaced once again.
After gaining her ability, Kanzaki Mika changed her name to Tensyoin Miyuki and started a new life. Since obtaining this new ability, everything had been unusually smooth, but Tensyoin Miyuki always felt that something was missing.
Every day, she only felt an unbearable emptiness. This comfortable yet painful life tormented Tensyoin Miyuki both physically and mentally, but she had no way to escape it. After all, this situation was common among those who enjoyed the material comforts of modern life.
When people pursue material wealth, they can feel fulfilled because they have something to strive for. However, once their material life reaches a certain level, they no longer have any worries. At that point, all they can feel is an endless emptiness.
This is similar to playing a game. When people start playing a new game, they can enjoy it because they have almost nothing. But once they reach the maximum level and have everything they need, they feel bored. Then, they realize that their initial passion for the game has faded away.
At this point, all they can do is switch to a new game and repeat the process. Perhaps this is why they say, "history always repeats itself."
Real life is the same. When people lack money, they are motivated to earn it. But once they no longer need money, they have an abundance of other things, just like in a game. And at this point, most people's actions are similar to those in the game.
They use money to find other forms of entertainment, which is why we see news about someone spending a certain amount of money on something ridiculous. It's just a helpless way to alleviate their loneliness.
Although this is just treating the symptoms and not the root cause, they know very well as the parties involved. But even so, why do they still do it? The answer is...
They exist in time because they are ordinary people. Every life has its own length, so even though they know that this method only alleviates their emptiness temporarily, it's enough for them. Because...
Their goal is to delay this state until their death. Yes, they are just procrastinating. As long as they delay it until that moment, they can be liberated. This is their most helpless way of solving the problem because...
Finding a true solution is not very difficult, but it's not easy either. Moreover, the solution varies depending on the person. Some people may find it effortlessly, while others may never know it even until their death.
So, those who understand this give up on searching, because they value practicality more than the elusive.
As long as there is temporary numbness, continuously numbing oneself with so-called fresh and stimulating things, as long as one keeps deceiving oneself, delaying until one's own death, one can find liberation, because compared to that numbness, human life is short-lived.
Basically, finding a few things in one's lifetime that can numb oneself is enough, after all, just "studying hard and finding a good job" alone can numb for decades, so it's not very difficult to do such a thing.
Therefore, even if one possesses that omnipotent ability, Tensyoin Miyuki is no exception.
Until one day...
