The rain finally came down completely, turning from a drizzle into a torrential downpour.

Yuan Zhisheng stumbled and ran from outside the school, but the place where Yuan Zhinu should have been lying was empty.

Rain was everywhere, washing away all traces, as if this person had never existed in the world. She simply vanished into thin air, as if it were all just a nightmare of Genjiro.

Yuan Zhisheng was soaked to the bone by the rain. He looked at everything blankly, suddenly unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

In the deserted, dilapidated schoolyard, Yuan Zhisheng knelt on the ground, utterly dejected, and wept uncontrollably.

On this stormy night, he finally realized he had made a ridiculous mistake.

He lost his sister.

Chapter 5 Freshmen

"Chisei, you...you shouldn't be too sad..."

Looking at the distraught man in front of her, Qiao Nai stammered a word of comfort.

The rain was still falling; this sudden downpour swept through the entire town of Shikatori and showed no signs of stopping.

The fact that three missing girls miraculously returned after several days of disappearance is quite bizarre in itself. The police have already been there, but they found nothing unusual.

The three girls unanimously stated that they had only played a small joke on their families and had simply gone out to play a game together.

They apologized to the police for their willful behavior, looking like children who had acted impulsively for a moment, and indeed they were just children.

The police gave them a lecture and left, but the girls were not relieved because they had witnessed a horrific murder.

They dared not say anything. That death-like man was too ruthless. They were afraid of retaliation if they told the police, so they could only choose to remain silent.

However, they also dared not see Genji again.

Only Qiao Nai, Genji's former classmate, was still willing to meet with him, believing that it was all just a misunderstanding.

Because Qiao Nai knew that Genjiro and Genjiro had a good relationship, and she also knew what kind of person Genjiro was.

Witnessing that bloody scene made it impossible for her to be as close to him as before, or to trust him unconditionally.

Yuan Zhisheng's clothes were soaked through, his black hair covered his eyes, and the water stains on his face were indistinguishable as to whether they were rain or tears. He lowered his head, looking more disheveled than ever before.

"What exactly happened?" he asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes unfocused, like an empty shell devoid of a soul.

"Why...why did the young girl take you away?"

When he mentioned that name, his voice was filled with obvious pain. Qiao Nai finally saw his eyes clearly. Those black pupils that had once captivated her were now bloodshot, making him look like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

Qiao Nai instinctively shrank back and couldn't help but tighten her collar.

She thought for a moment, then carefully said, "It was Zhinu who invited us to play games."

"She said she recently discovered something really fun, a new potion she invented that allows you to weave dreams. We thought it was very interesting, so we agreed to play with her."

At this point, a look of fascination appeared on Qiao Nai's face: "I don't know how to describe it, it really felt like a dream, but no dream can be so wonderful. We were so immersed in it that we forgot about time..."

“We didn’t mean to cause trouble for anyone, and neither did the girl. She offered to take us back, but we refused.”

She sighed, cautiously observing Genjiro's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any unusual expression, she finally couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Is Chizuru alright?"

Perhaps afraid that Yuan Zhisheng would be unhappy, she quickly added, "I saw you take her to the doctor. It was just a misunderstanding, right?"

She refused to believe that Genjiro would hurt Genjiro. In her memory, Genjiro cherished this little sister the most and always protected her well, preferring to get hurt himself rather than let Genjiro get hurt.

But what she couldn't understand was why Genjiro would swing his sword at Genjiro; what kind of misunderstanding was that?

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent for a long time, and just when Qiao Nai thought he would not get an answer, he finally spoke.

"The young girl is missing."

“I left her on the playground and went to find a doctor, but when I came back, she was gone.”

"I searched the whole school, but I couldn't find her."

Qiao Nai's eyes widened in surprise, and she said anxiously, "Then call the police quickly! Let's all go look for it together, we'll find it eventually."

Ke Yuanzhisheng simply shook his head.

Qiao Nai was a smart girl. Seeing his expression, she understood that there must be some inside story that the police couldn't get involved in. She remained silent for a long time before finally asking the question that had been lingering in her heart.

Why did you draw your sword against her?

Yuan Zhisheng paused, stunned: "You were all lying on the ground, I thought you were all dead, she killed you..."

"Then why don't you ask her?" Jonai was even more puzzled: "Why are you so sure that she killed us?"

Why won't you listen to her explanation? Or have you already decided in your heart that she's guilty?

The questions, one after another, were like sharp knives piercing straight into Yuan Zhisheng's heart, drawing blood.

Yes, why didn't he even give her a chance to explain?

Why did he conclude that Genji had turned into a demon and killed everyone?

There was another long silence, but this time Genjiro couldn't give an answer.

"I have no idea……"

He murmured, his voice filled with unconcealed weariness and a bewilderment he couldn't even articulate.

Genjiro didn't know why things had turned out this way. The Executive Bureau's assessment was that Deadpool had attacked, but when he arrived here, he discovered that it was Genjiro.

He believed his sister had turned into a hideous monster, and he killed her.

He wanted to be a friend of justice, and he paid a painful price to uphold justice, showing no mercy even to his own sister.

But he never imagined that the justice he was upholding was nothing but wishful thinking, and that his so-called act of sacrificing family for the greater good was nothing but a joke.

Perhaps his insistence was foolish from the start; he seemed to be wrong, and terribly wrong at that.

This was the first time in his life that Yuan Zhisheng's beliefs had wavered.

Overwhelmed by remorse, he stared blankly out the window at the blurred shadows in the torrential rain, murmuring in anguish:

"My dear girl, where are you? It was your brother's fault..."

No one answered him; only the roar of the wind and rain could be heard.

……

Yuan Zhinv opened her eyes, and instantly a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping her entirely. Stimulated by the light, she squinted and looked around blankly.

It was a huge stage, and she sat in the middle of it, dressed in a gorgeous gown, with her long hair styled and her makeup applied.

Standing beside her were various girls dressed in Kabuki costumes. Each of them was beautiful, and they surrounded her like flowers, dancing around her with movements as light and graceful as deer in the forest.

Yuan Zhinu subconsciously touched her chest. The pain from being pierced by the long sword was still there, but there were no wounds. Her skin was as smooth as ever, as if it were all just a dream. She had only taken a short nap, and her servants were waiting for her to wake up.

Suddenly, the man wearing the nobleman's mask walked onto the stage. He hugged Yuan Zhinü tightly and said with great excitement, "Zhinü, you've finally woken up."

"Congratulations, you have been given a new life."

Chapter 6 Good Boy

Freshmen? What freshmen?

Yuan Zhinu blinked blankly, still somewhat unable to process what was happening.

But as soon as Wang finished speaking, the girls surrounding her and the onlookers below the stage all started to applaud.

They were so excited and enthusiastic, as if they had just watched a thrilling performance.

Under the dazzling beam of light, the king pointed at her, his expression excited and his tone impassioned, and said to everyone:

"I have finally found the person everyone has been waiting for. She is the true successor of the three inner families and will lead us, the Ghosts, to a brand new future!"

Everyone cheered together, tears streaming down their faces, as if those who had lived in darkness for a long time had finally seen the dawn. They screamed, they went wild, they knelt down and prostrated themselves.

It was all so absurd that Genjiro, sitting on the throne, could only find it laughable.

The man, who resembled a demon, revealed a sinister smile on his mask. He bowed slightly and respectfully addressed Genji:

"Welcome to the awakening of our Emperor."

Yuan Zhinü said nothing, but simply watched this madness unfold.

She finally followed the path described in the original story, but it seemed somewhat different.

In the original story, Genji died in that rainstorm, died because of her brother's sense of justice, and her body was buried in an abandoned well.

From then on, there was no more Genji in this world, only the evil spirit Kazama Ruri, who was controlled by the King.

In the script by the King, all the beautiful girls, including Genjiro, were buried alive, and only Kazama Ruri survived.

But Genjiro didn't like the script, so in the end no one died, and she even tricked Genjiro, since she really disliked the stupidity of this tortoise brother.

The so-called friends of justice are the biggest lie in the world. Let's see if we can still turn Genjiro back before he's been brainwashed too much.

However, she didn't have time to think about that stupid tortoise now, because her current situation was much more dangerous than Genji's.

The Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan are like light and darkness, eternal enemies, and have been checking and balancing each other for many years.

In contrast to the righteous Snake Clan, who still adhered to the rules and could be considered moderate members of the underworld, the Demon Clan was like a cult that committed all kinds of evil.

The people who come here are dangerous individuals abandoned by the Snake Clan. Almost everyone has a bloodline problem. They are more like madmen than humans, committing all kinds of evil and devoid of humanity.

Becoming the emperor of such a group of guys is no easy feat, not to mention that there's a demon among these lunatics.

Even after reading the original work, Genjiro still didn't know how to kill a creature like the King.

He himself is not a very strong hybrid, but the difficulty lies in his extreme skill in manipulating people's hearts and his countless substitutes. No one knows where his true identity is or how many unknown trump cards he holds.

Killing his substitute rashly would be pointless and would only alert the enemy, and besides, Genji needs his help.

Yuan Zhinv opened the system panel. The bloodline section was still unknown. She could feel that her power had increased a lot, but it was still within the normal level of a hybrid.

It doesn't reach the level of the original work where it could fight the Yamata no Orochi one-on-one; it's probably only slightly stronger than an ordinary A-rank hybrid.

At least when Genjiro swung his sword at her, she had no ability to resist. It felt like being enveloped by a huge, heavy mountain, and she was an ant at the foot of the mountain.

This shouldn't be the case.

As the sister of a demon, she shouldn't be inferior to her brother, who is the emperor.

The only explanation is that her bloodline has not fully awakened, or that the evolution medicine the king gave her was incomplete.
