In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

[Note: Disconnecting from physical contact with the target—Kageyuko—will terminate the data link.]

……

The system prompt sounds at the right time.

Ryo Natsume finds his consciousness gradually slipping away from this heavy memory—

The surrounding scenery began to become clear.

When Natsume Ryo opened his eyes, he saw Kage Yuuko, who was radiating a strong sense of resentment and had a cold gaze, and Geng Yuuko, whose face was equally pale, in the corner.

Follow the system prompts.

In theory, he could simply release the fingers that were currently gripping Kageyuko's wrist and immediately sever this uncomfortable connection, returning to a detached state as an observer.

but.

"I hate it... I hate it so much..."

Kageyuko's cold eyes turned to the main body in the corner, her words filled with unforgettable sarcasm, which clearly reached Natsume Ryo's ears.

The resentment was so deep that it seemed to materialize, making the surrounding air thick and cold.

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Natsume Ryo paused, his fingers, which were about to loosen their grip, in motion.

Disconnected?

No more.

just now.

Natsume Ryo had a new idea.

Because of his prolonged immersion in the physical functions brought about by the creative mode, Natsume Ryo could clearly feel that his original "human" emotional spectrum was inevitably fading—

It's as if an almost absolutely rational way of thinking has taken over.

The essence of humanity is gradually fading.

Keep it up like this.

One's own consciousness will eventually lead to a void that is probably called "non-human".

The idea of ​​avoiding all of this.

Ryo Natsume felt that he needed a new anchor point to re-anchor himself.

therefore.

The Yingxizi before me is a collection of all of Gengxizi's negative memories and emotions.

This was precisely the crucial anchor point that prevented Natsume Ryo from getting lost in the deep sea, just as he had feared.

This is undoubtedly a gamble.

However, Natsume Ryo was willing to do so before the formal purification ritual.

[Data Linkage Deepened!]

[Begin receiving target core memory data stream...!]

With this in mind, Natsume Ryo proactively opened up his consciousness, no longer just observing, but choosing to accept everything.

"!"

It was as if Pandora's box had been opened.

at the same time.

Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi noticed this and stared at Natsume Ryo in disbelief, completely unable to understand why anyone would be willing to do something so bold and crazy—to actively embrace what they saw as hell.

at the same time.

A crisp system notification sounded.

【Ding! 】

[The holder, Geng Xizi, has developed a severe dependence on the host!]

[Activation conditions met!]

[Mod: Mistress in the Mist/Red-Clad Senior - Activation Successful!]

……

Chapter 63 Twin Flowers, the Mistman Module command is activated, and the Mistman is refreshed!

The system notification tone ended completely.

The feeling of being forcibly stripped away also subsided.

Ryo Natsume's consciousness returned completely to reality.

He released his grip on Yingxi's wrist.

and.

Almost the instant Natsume Ryo let go—

"Natsume-kun!"

Like a swallow returning to its nest, Geng Xizi rushed forward with a cool, fragrant breeze and hugged Natsume Ryo tightly from the front!

"Is that so..."

“Natsume-kun… the purification you’re talking about isn’t the kind I’m imagining at all… that kind of improper ritual…”

"What holy water born from the very foundation of the body?"

"And there's also direct injection into the core..."

"So it was all a lie all along?"

"True purification...is using Natsume's own soul as a vessel...to absorb all the shadow's pain and dilute that resentment...?"

"But...why?...I'm just a lost soul trapped for sixty years. We're not even related...why would they go to such lengths for me?"

Geng Xizi clearly misunderstood Natsume Ryo's true intention in doing all this, and the "purification" method that Natsume Ryo had mentioned earlier kept echoing in her mind—

The so-called "holy water" and "infusion into the core" were not the erotic or even vulgar rituals she had imagined.

……

just.

To what even Geng Xizi hadn't anticipated—

Another equally slender but stiff and cold body was pressed against Natsume Ryo's body.

The cool sensation seeped through the thin fabric of the school uniform and directly into the skin.

Yingxi clenched her teeth, her movements showing obvious resistance, as if her consciousness was still resisting, but her body was acting under the drive of instinct.

Natsume Ryo could clearly distinguish the soft, full curves of Yuko's chest pressing against his chest, and the cool touch of Yuko's figure behind him, which, though equally shapely, carried the unique characteristics of a spirit.

……

Two figures, one on the left and one on the right.

Like the filling in a sandwich, Natsume Ryo was tightly embraced and sandwiched between two identical "Kei Yukos".

Geng Xizi sensed something was wrong, turned her head slightly, looked over Natsume Ryo's shoulder, and was taken aback.

"Eh?"

"Why...why didn't you disappear?"

"Shut up."

Upon hearing this, Ying Xizi immediately interrupted Geng Xizi with her voice.

It was a face exactly like Geng Xizi's—but at this moment it exuded a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.

I saw.

Kageyuko maintained her embrace of Natsume Ryo's arm, her gaze passing over Natsume Ryo and shooting towards Kageyuko.

"Tsk..."

"This is such a hassle, it feels like everything is all mixed up together."

"Mixed together? What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says, you idiot."

Upon hearing Geng Xizi's words, Ying Xizi's tone was blunt and full of disdain.

"All your jumbled thoughts and inexplicable feelings of warmth have been transmitted to me, it's so annoying!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Xizi gasped in surprise, slightly raising her head with astonishment in her slender eyes.

But in just a moment, Geng Xizi's expression changed slightly, as she also sensed the connection between the two.

"It's...it's true..."

"Natsume-kun, this is so strange... I can feel... that guy behind me... so cold, like my heart is frozen, and there are so many... so many sharp things... it's very uncomfortable..."

"And...it seems like she...dislikes me? Thinks I'm annoying?"

Geng Xizi stammered as she confirmed, her fair fingertips unconsciously gripping the fabric of Natsume Ryo's chest.

Upon hearing Geng Xizi's words, Ying Xizi's pale lips curled into an undisguised look of disgust.

"Huh, each other."

"Stop trying to pry into my thoughts!"

"Your emotions are disgusting! They're like a lump of syrup that won't dissolve!"

Stop pretending.

"If it weren't for your messy, saccharine ideas!"

"I would never do something so stupid as to throw myself at this man!"

"Don't think I can't sense what you're thinking! Your heart is pounding like a drum when you're with this man! Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom! You hopeless, stupid woman!"

Kageyuko is extremely aggressive.

"I... I wasn't thinking anything!"

Upon hearing Ying Xizi's words, Geng Xizi blushed instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and quickly retorted.

"These are all normal reactions!"

"And...and those dark, cold thoughts in your mind are even stranger, aren't they?"

"Like a viper!"

"Tch, so stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Ying Xizi let out a cold laugh.

"At least I won't be like you, with my head full of pink bubbles!"

"You stupid woman! You're love-struck!"

"Can't you control your own thoughts?"

"Don't force me to go into heat with you."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that!"

Geng Xizi trembled with shame and anger at Ying Xizi's explicit words.

But then he sensed the unfathomable, cold resentment in Ying Xizi's heart, and a pang of pain shot through his heart.

"Ugh, this is so annoying."

Yingxizi sensed the fleeting pity and heartache in Gengxizi's heart, and her face instantly darkened. She immediately interrupted him sharply.

"Stop with your ridiculous sympathy."
