At this time, Bronya came in and handed Ryougi Shiki a bottle of sports drink as usual to replenish her electrolytes.

"Fortunately."

Shiki's tone softened a bit. He took the drink from Bronya and drank it, revealing his smooth white neck. "When is the next training session?"

"It seems that Shiki is very dissatisfied~"

Bronya just smiled. If it were someone else, she would have just carried him from behind, but unfortunately... that wouldn't work. "Alright, alright, this match is just over, training needs to be balanced."

"So where are we going to play?"

Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki changed her usual cold tone and spoke with energy.

"It's Ori~"

Since acquiring the Yin-Yang Fish Pendant, Shiki and Ori's personalities have gradually become more balanced, and their murderous impulses have almost completely dissipated. Thus, Ori has a chance to emerge.

Bronya was very familiar with this kind of personality switching. She immediately changed her mode of interaction and hugged Ryougi Ori. "As for where to go to play... that depends on what you think, Ori."

"Well, it's up to you to decide."

"Should Bronya come?"

It was a bit of a headache. Amusement parks were still relatively backward back then, so it was hard to get her excited. "How about...we go for a drive?"

As she spoke, Bronya stretched out her hand and touched her side... A cool silver-white motorcycle appeared, with a beauty that was beyond the times.

!!!

Maybe Shiki wouldn't be too interested, but Ori, who represents "Yang", is much more lively and has no resistance to such a handsome vehicle. She readily agreed after just a moment.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the motorcycle rushed away like a stream of light, performing a "Fast and Furious" show.

In the evening, the two returned to Bronya's rental house. The Yoji family had too many rules, so it was better to be free outside. And... Bronya's cooking skills were quite good~

……

As time went by, finally, a serial murder case occurred in Guanbuzi City!

"Is it time?"

Watching the news on TV, Bronya had a calm expression - of course she knew who did it, but she didn't know the exact time, so she missed it.

The heavily armored bunny quietly appeared beside her and very intelligently retrieved the victim's location and Shirajun Rio's file.

Unfortunately, perhaps he was hiding too well? The surveillance footage only showed Araya Soren in a few fragments. "Bunny, can you pinpoint his location?"

"No, the data is not sufficient."

It was still a technically synthesized electronic sound, but it was beginning to take on a more human quality. After all, it was Wei Erwei's work, and through continuous learning, its intelligence had greatly improved.

"Is that so? Then we'll focus on monitoring Shirazumi Rio... Oh, and keep an eye on Shiki too. As long as he hasn't given up, he'll reveal a flaw."

After arranging all this, Bronya's figure gradually faded and disappeared in the rental house.

The Two-Yi Family

"Shiki, you can get ready."

"Bronya?"

Ryougi Shiki looked around but didn't see the other person. After a while, Bronya finally showed up. "Sure enough, you have similar powers to him."

"Well... Bronya can only say that Bronya and Byakuya have a close relationship. As for what exactly that is, you'll have to discover it yourself."

Ryougi Shiki didn't react too strongly to this. It was normal for friends to have a little secret. Even blood relatives needed their own personal space. "So, Bronya, what brings you here this time?"

"Shiki, take a look at this first."

Bronya pushed a tablet in front of Ryougi Shiki. The screen displayed information about Shirajun Rio. "That person has begun to act. He is the pawn this time."

"..., I think I've seen him somewhere before?"

Even if they were classmates or seniors, Ryougi Shiki's personality wouldn't have paid much attention most of the time. It was only now, when she saw them, that she realized they looked vaguely familiar.

Ryougi Shiki continued reading, the entire incident forming a rough outline in her mind. She put down the tablet in her hands and asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"

"That depends on Shiki himself. Bronya knows that Shiki has a rule not to kill, but he is definitely coming for Shiki. So does Shiki want to do it himself... or let Bronya do it?"

Bronya threw the problem to Ryougi Shiki - she did have the ability to handle everything, but she also had to take Ryougi Shiki's thoughts into consideration, after all, Shiki was very strong-willed.

"..."

There was silence.

She still remembered what her grandfather had said: A person can only kill one person in their lifetime. But...that guy was after her. Did she really want Bronya to take the blame for her?

Ryougi Shiki looked at Bronya beside her quietly, and scenes from the past flooded into her mind. Finally, "Bronya, you will always stay by my side, right?"

"Of course, does Shiki still want to chase Bronya away? Bronya won't agree~"

Hearing this, Ryougi Shiki showed a rare faint smile on her face, "I understand. Then I'll handle this matter myself."

239. Fishing

Ryougi Shiki already knew everything behind the scenes, but still maintained the habit of going out at night.

Of course, Bronya hadn't been with her during this time. Her identity could be verified, and if she were around, Araya Soren would have been wary.

Under a bright moon, Shi was still wearing a classic blue kimono, walking alone on the streets of Guanbuzi City. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a small pendant on her ear - an earphone!

"Hey, Shiki, can you hear me?"

"No need to confirm it every night, I can hear it." Shi's voice was very soft, and nothing unusual could be detected from a distance.

"Hey, isn't this about avoiding accidents~"

Elsewhere, Bronya was leaving Guanbuzi City by train, the kind that had a record of her boarding. "Also, Shi, you should pay attention too. It might be tonight."

Just as she was getting into the car, Bronya clearly felt a secret gaze, most likely from Araya Soren.

With one hand supporting her cheek, Bronya watched the scenery outside the window flash by at high speed, while the other hand tapped the table lightly, as if composing a song.

Do you really think you can't control the situation if she leaves?

In the rental house, the heavily armed bunny deployed dozens of light screens to closely monitor the streets near Ryougi Shiki.

The room was pitch black, illuminated only by the screen, illuminating Bai Ye's handsome face. Although Xiaotu could handle the heavy-duty task himself, he was summoned to Guanbuzi City just in case.

Through the connection between the two bodies, Bai Ye can provide real-time feedback of what he sees to Bronya, who then relays it to him.

Indeed, she didn't have the connections of Kurohiro Mikiya, who could find out everything. But her advanced technology and sheer strength... were enough to launch a dimensionality-reduction attack, crushing them directly!

……

A figure flashed in a dark alley. If you didn't look carefully, you would probably think it was an illusion.

But the machine wouldn't. The heavy-duty rabbit instantly locked onto the screen and expanded the corresponding light screen to cover up other images - it was a slightly thin young man.

"You're quite skilled. Has he accumulated some experience from committing crimes so many times?"

Since Bai Junli had already appeared, in order to observe Ryougi Shiki's condition... Bai Ye immediately gave the order: "Xiaotu, immediately analyze the best observation points and keep a close eye on those positions!"

"As you command, sir."

This is a name that has evolved little by little. In Bronya's words, it is "boss".

At the same time, several light screens were quickly brought up, but unfortunately... at least so far, Araya Soren has not appeared.

In addition, Ryougi Shiki also received instructions from Bronya and quickly rushed towards Shiratsuri Rio's location.

"Shiki, turn right at the next intersection... Slow down, don't rush, it'll be easy for people to see you. Then turn left, we'll be there soon."

Ryougi Shiki slightly quickened her pace and gradually approached Shirajun Rio's position.

"Found it."

At this moment, one of the light screens finally showed the image of Araya Soren! The picture instantly turned around, spreading out with Araya Soren as the center, leaving the opponent nowhere to hide.

On the train, Bronya also took action. She casually snapped her fingers—a magical cue. Then, without further movement, she gradually faded and vanished...

Then look at Ryougi Shiki's side.

Shirasumi Rio was still searching for prey, ready to give Ryougi Shiki a "big gift." Unfortunately, before her prey appeared, Ryougi Shiki arrived first.

Ryougi Shiki didn't even give the other party a chance to speak before rushing forward and attacking him.

!!!

Only upon seeing Ryougi Shiki did Shirazumi's face show surprise. The awakening of Origin, Araya Soren's guidance... He had thought he liked Ryougi Shiki.

But the other party wanted to kill him, which immediately made him panic. After all, this was still in the early stage, not as perverted as in the later stage. The emotional changes were also reflected on his face, which looked very distorted and full of facial expressions.

But at least he had awakened his origin, and in a hurry he managed to avoid Ryougi Shiki's knife.

In the darkness, Araya Soren took a small step forward. Bai Ye had already cut most of the main plot of the Sky Realm, and he still hadn't found a replacement. Bai Jun Rio's importance had increased slightly.

But when he calmed down...

"I didn't expect her qualifications to be so excellent. Has she actually reached perfection?"

I don’t know what Araya Soren based his judgment on, but at least in his opinion, Ryougi Shiki was already mature at this time, and he could take over her body to reach the root!

In this way, the prepared chess pieces would lose their value, and there would be no need to expose oneself to the other party. After all...his Ogawa Apartment is not ready yet~

"Why? Why are you going to kill me?"

Bai Chunlixu fled in panic, his steps were a little disordered, and he had several cuts on his body.

In response, Ryougi Shiki said nothing and swung her sword silently, but it seemed as if she was always an inch short - she thought she was ready, but in fact she was not, so she hesitated every time.

If not for this, even if Shirajun Rio had awakened her origin, she would not have been able to last long in the hands of Ryougi Shiki. The previous training was not in vain.

"Calm down, don't hesitate. You've already made your decision, haven't you? You have to bear all of this yourself."

Ryougi Shiki said this to herself in her heart, but when she actually chopped down... she was still a beat too late, and only cut a bloody wound, allowing Shirajun Rio to escape.

"Cut~"

Seeing this, she tightened the knife in her hand slightly, then leaped a few times and continued to chase the other party.

"Is it really impossible? Killing someone is easy to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's not that easy to get over the hurdle in my heart."

The big fish has been caught, so Bai Ye no longer needs to stay by the surveillance camera. He quietly appears at Liang Yi Shi's location and has been observing for a long time.

In Bai Ye's opinion, Ryougi Shiki had at least dozens of chances to kill Shirajun Rio, but she always took something into consideration and fell short.

He casually took out a short knife, tossed it twice with the familiar feel, and then disappeared quietly...

"Zheng——"

A flash of knife light.

Bai Junrio covered his neck in horror, bright red blood oozing out uncontrollably, and he finally collapsed powerlessly.

"How did you come?"

Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. After all, in her opinion, they had already agreed that Shiratsune Rio was her "prey".

"Bronya asked me to come. She knows you have a rule not to kill, so she asked me to take action for you when necessary. From zero to one, it's better not to start this."

"..."

Ryougi Shiki was silent for a moment, then admitted that the other person was right. But... from zero to one? She lowered her head and glanced at the knife in her hand. She had almost made up her mind.

240. Mirror World

That person is... Bai Ye!

Araya Soren realized something and immediately prepared to retreat. He had done some research on Bronya, but he only got very basic information.

Emiya Kiritsugu, Waver, and the others had the moral integrity to not reveal Byakuya's information. As for Bronya...she had fought within the inherent barrier, and the information was basically concealed.

This also led to Araya Soren's inaccurate calculations, which would be fatal in the current situation!

"Where are you thinking of going, Araya Soren?"
