He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

No matter how dramatic or nerve-wracking the former may be, there is always a chance to wait until things calm down.

Death, however, is entirely different.

That is something that all living beings instinctively resist, and cannot reminisce about afterward; they can only live forever in that terror and darkness.

"The style is only me, and I am only the style..."

Ryougi ignored Fury's reaction and said calmly, "From the moment we were born, we only had each other, and we can only have each other. Once an outsider intrudes, it will break the original tacit understanding and cause the balance to break."

So, I want to kill you!

As she spoke her last words, Ryougi couldn't help but clench her fists, bending the straw and squeezing it into them.

Fury listened silently for a while before saying, "Then why don't you take action?"

"Of course I can't wait to take action."

Ryougi turned her head again and stared at Fury. "But that would destroy the unique beauty of Shiki."

"???"

A question mark appeared above Fury's head.

“We are the abnormal, there is no doubt about that. Both I and Shiki are clearly aware of this.”

"But Shi longs to live like an ordinary person."

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

Ryougi Shiki sneered, "Knowing full well it's impossible, you still indulge in such beautiful dreams, pursuing those unattainable dreams..."

Fury didn't reply, but listened silently.

"But I respect that choice."

"Because this is the only wish of the person named 'Ryougi Shiki'. If even this small wish is taken away, then the life of 'Ryougi Shiki' is meaningless, merely a life being born, growing up, and dying."

It's all meaningless.

“Once I kill you… no, not just you, but anyone. Once I kill someone, I will strip away that one and only beauty of Ryougi Shiki.”

Fury closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

It took a while before he opened his eyes again.

He sighed and asked, "So, you've come to warn me to stay out of her life?"

"Yes."

Ryougi nods. "As long as you don't enter our world again, Ryougi Shiki can continue to live as an ordinary person, and I won't have to kill you."

"And what about you?"

"I?"

Ryougi was stunned, not understanding how the topic had suddenly shifted to her.

"If Ryougi Shiki's wish is to live like an ordinary person, then what is your wish?"

Fury crossed his arms over his chest, just like a psychologist asking about a patient's condition. "You yourself said that you and Shi are both opposing and tolerant of each other. Shi wants to live an ordinary life, so you want to live an extraordinary life!"

Ryougi Shiki's lips curled into a long, curved smile.

"Yes, I crave killing!"

Chapter 264 Fury and the Ryougi Shiki (Part 2)

Zhi's smile was somewhat eerie.

But Fury, who was used to seeing all kinds of people, didn't feel anything. On the contrary, he felt much more at ease because the other person's reaction confirmed some of his guesses.

He nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, then why have you never killed anyone?"

The answer was already known.

Because Ryougi Shiki understood the preciousness of life, she respected every life and suppressed her murderous intent.

But the specifics are unclear.

To resolve the conflict between Ryougi Shiki and Ryougi Ori, and to invite her to join the Avengers, these are the issues that must be faced and then resolved.

"A person can only kill one person in their lifetime."

As Ryougi spoke, her eyes dimmed as if recalling something. "When I was a child, my grandfather taught me: a person can only kill one person in their lifetime..."

"..."

Fury's lips twitched.

What does it mean that a person can only kill one person in their lifetime?

Is it right to kill only one person?

What a weirdo!

Could it be that he, like Ryougi Shiki, is a person with a split personality?

Or rather, the kind that's gone mad.

"...Frey."

After a pause, Zhi suddenly spoke.

Fury was slightly pulled back to reality by the voice and couldn't help but look over. "Hmm?"

Do you know?

"Killing someone and slaughtering are not the same thing."

Fury didn't understand, so he didn't interrupt and waited silently for what was to come.

"People kill because they cannot bear the weight of emotions the other person gives them—love, hate, grudges, joys, sorrows, and partings..."

Ryougi spoke calmly, her words always tinged with a faint sadness.

"Generally speaking, the killer and the victim have an emotional connection."

"But killing is different."

"There was no reason, no goal, just the sheer pleasure of taking lives."

It turned out to be the case.

Fury breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling admiration for the grandfather who had taught Ryougi Shiki. "Ryougi, your grandfather was a great man."

A person can only kill one person in their lifetime...

This does not refer to killing a person physically, but rather killing them psychologically.

If a murder is committed due to some kind of dispute, then regardless of the motive or whether it is right or wrong, it falls within the realm of human choice.

But to take a life for no reason, without any purpose, and simply to enjoy the thrill of taking a life, is no longer what it means to be human.

Hurting others is hurting yourself.

Once you kill someone, you will lose your right to be a human being and eventually die.

Ryougi Shiki's grandfather used this phrase to bind her.

"Yes, he was a great man."

Ryougi couldn't help but hum twice, "Do you know the origin?"

"starting point?"

Fury gave a tentative answer.

"It's somewhat related to the answer!"

As Ryougi spoke, she picked up her drink cup, took a sip, and continued, "If humans are reincarnated, then the origin is the very first cause, which is everyone's most primal impulse and instinct."

Once the origin is awakened, this instinct, which has existed since the beginning of reincarnation, will instantly overtake the rationality of a person who only has this short life, transforming them into a "god" or "beast" detached from humanity.

"This...this is the first time I've heard this kind of statement."

"Perhaps it exists only in my world!"

Ryougi Shiki speculated, then returned to the topic, “The origin of Ryougi Shiki is nothingness, that is, the impulse to turn everything into nothingness, and her desire to kill also comes from this. As her destructive and impulsive side, my desire to kill is even stronger than ordinary people can imagine.”

"But you still refrained from killing him."

Fury pointed out this fact.

“That’s right, I didn’t kill anyone. But I was thinking about killing someone all the time.” Ryougi said, her voice trembling with pain. “Fury, do you know that?”

"Ok?"

"People can only express the emotions they have felt."

"Ryougi Shiki told me about it."

"Because of his grandfather's words, Shi has always resisted killing and denied killing."

"I know."

"But that's just her impulsive, destructive side!"

Fury watched as Ryougi Shiki shouted loudly, seemingly venting her frustrations, and felt a mix of emotions.

Weaving represents the impulsive and destructive aspect of the style.

To deny murder is to deny the organization itself, and to be constantly trying to kill the organization.

This is the only feeling I've ever experienced.

Therefore, Zhi only knows how to kill.
