The emotion revealed in that smile made Hei Tong Xian Hu think of those parents who faced the male friends of their withdrawn daughters.

She was happy that her daughter had friends of the same age, but she was also wary of the boy in front of her taking her daughter away.

There was a strange sense of menace mixed in with the gentleness.

Hei Tong Xianhu always felt that if he dared to refuse to buy the ice cream, the other party would tear up the agreed cooperation on the spot.

Kuroto Xianhu: "No, it's no problem."

He quickly shook his head to get rid of this strange thought.

I'll go back and talk to Ryougi Shiki to see if we can lower our living standards if she insists on her previous extravagant lifestyle.

Hei Tong Xian Hu is not someone who would pretend to be nice just to save face.

He will ask the Liangyi family for money first.

After all, hadn't they asked him to assist the two personalities in cooperating? Since he was helping, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for Ryougi Shiki's food and lodging.

"Okay, then. I'll show you the way. The Haagen-Dazs at the supermarket at the foot of West Street are more authentic. Also, if you don't plan on cooking tonight, you can eat at the hotel east of the commercial street. It's also owned by the Liangyi family."

Don't worry, unless something unexpected happens, you will probably never go there.

Recalling the luxurious building on the east side of the commercial street and the people he usually saw coming in and out of it, Kuroto Kanko kept smiling.

In short, let’s get through this hurdle first.

Volume 1: Chapter 5: Memories of Liang Yi

In a hotel not far from the Kurogiri residence.

Ryougi Shiki was still tied up and placed on the bed.

Thanks to the fact that monitoring systems and computer networks were not yet popular in that era, it was not difficult for even a small follower like Hei Tong Xian Hu to hide from a behemoth like the Liang Yi family without being noticed.

Before he left to meet the people from the Ryougi family, he had already moved Ryougi Shiki to this hotel.

This was to prevent the Ryogi family from raiding the Kurogiri residence when he was away, bypassing negotiations and rescuing their eldest daughter without any moral ethics.

But even so, Kurogane Kanko didn't actually impose any more restrictions on Ryougi Shiki, such as some restrictions that would cost her life if she escaped, or restrictions that would make her pay the price.

The underworld lady of Guanbuzi City knows more about this matter than normal people.

Close the windows and draw the curtains tight.

There was a constant sound coming from the TV not far away.

In order to prevent Liang Yi Zhi from getting bored, Hei Tong Xian Hu turned on the TV and selected a suitable program for her.

"That's a bit too kind, isn't it?"

Even though she was tied up, the girl still maintained a casual expression and murmured in the room where no one was except herself.

In the distance, the mirror facing the bed reflected her figure.

From a normal person's perspective, the figure in the mirror does not change.

But in the eyes of a person with dual personality like Liang Yizhi, the self in the mirror has become another self.

"Zhi, what do you want to do?"

She was also wearing a kimono and had an aura of keeping strangers away.

In the mirror, Ryougi Shiki looked at herself on the bed with a sharp gaze.

"I am you, and you are me. Shiki must know what I want to do. This should be a good thing for us."

The lively girl smiled happily, and that expression formed a sharp contrast with the frowning and serious expression of Ryougi Shiki in the mirror.

Ryougi Shiki: “…”

Staring at her other self silently, Ryougi Shiki's gaze became increasingly fierce.

Just as Ryougi Ori said, it is impossible for Ryougi Shiki not to know what she is thinking. The two are essentially the same person, their memories are interconnected, and their thoughts can be known to each other.

Although Ryougi Shiki has always had the upper hand in controlling the body, she also has the authority to decide whether to release Ryougi Shiki.

But the two principles of Tai Chi, yin and yang, must be equal.

The weaving cannot shield the style, and the style cannot shield the weaving.

In everyone's eyes, loneliness is always a two-way ritual for one person, but in fact it is always two people, and she is never truly lonely.

Ryougi Ori: "Is Shiki worried about that Kurogiri Kanko?"

Looking at herself who was silent, Liang Yizhi smiled and asked.

Ryougi Shiki: "No."

Ryougi Ori: "It's not good to lie to yourself."

Ryougi Shiki: "I'll keep an eye on you, Ori."

The girl standing in the mirror stared at her other self with a sharp, even murderous gaze, looking at the smile on the other person's face.

An innocent, pure, sunny smile, as bright as a child's.

Under the suppression of Ryougi Shiki, Ryougi Ori has never had any contact with anyone outside of her family. She has the innocence of a child, and naturally, the cruelty of a child.

The negative Ryougi Ori will have a strong murderous intention towards anything that approaches Ryougi Shiki or her own existence.

In order to prevent her from coming out and to stop her from having murderous intent towards everything around her, Ryougi Shiki has killed Ryougi Ori countless times on a conscious level.

This, in turn, further promoted the distortion of the Liangyi Weaving.

The murderous intent of others became the emotion she felt most in her life, her own.

Children who draw nourishment for their growth from their surroundings regard murderous intent as an indispensable part of themselves.

Twin consciousness, twin killing.

Days like these, Ryougi Shiki was ready to last forever.

Perhaps one day in the future, like the elders in her family who possess twin consciousnesses, she will go completely crazy and be sent to a mental hospital.

Ryougi Ori: "In order to prevent me from harboring murderous intentions towards those around me, I refuse to interact with anyone. In order to protect those around me, I always act alone. Shiki, you are actually quite gentle, aren't you?"

The sunny girl looked at herself in the mirror and expressed her thoughts that only the twins knew.

In the mirror and outside the world, one fierce and the other sunny, two girls with the same appearance stared at each other for a long time.

Ryougi Shiki: "I just don't want to kill anyone, and this time is no different."

Ryougi Shiki was completely opposed to Ryougi Ori's suggestion of staying with Kuroo Kenko for a year.

Apart from Ryougi Ori, she has no one who is too close to her.

Even though the parents have a special inheritance from the Liangyi family, the relationship between the two parties is limited to blood relatives.

She didn't know how much stronger Ryougi Ori's murderous intent towards her would become after living with Hei Tong Xian Hu for a year, but it was better to avoid such things as much as possible.

Ryougi Shiki: "I will explain the contract to Father later. Now, Ori, you can..."

Ryougi Ori shook her head: "Shiki, you are just too confident sometimes."

She interrupted Ryougi Shiki's words in the mirror.

"What makes you think you can hurt that Kuroto Kanko? As for the killing intent, we've already tried, haven't we?"

"You should have remembered it by now."

The clear girl's voice echoed in the room.

After hearing this, a dazed expression appeared on Ryougi Shiki's face in the mirror.

Scenes that were both familiar and unfamiliar began to flash before Ryougi Shiki's eyes.

……

That happened on Friday after school.

No, the cause should be traced back to an earlier time.

It was the break after the third class.

Ryougi Shiki sat by the window, and as usual, she refused everyone's approach with an attitude of keeping strangers away. She turned her head boredly to look at her classmates who were taking a walk on the playground outside the window.

Without reason, without cause.

Although there were quite a few people on the playground, Ryougi Shiki's eyes immediately locked on Hei Tong Xian Hu who was mixed in with them.

The blood is boiling instinctively and the body is getting hotter.

It's like a moth seeing a flame, like a hyena smelling carrion.

I even began to imagine biting off the other person's neck with my teeth and feeling the blood flowing into my mouth through the other person's blood vessels.

To kill the other party, to tear the other party into pieces.

Use a knife to cut the opponent into pieces.

The smell of blood seemed to be detectable in the nose.

By the time Ryougi Shiki reacted, her hand had already unconsciously reached for the small knife she carried with her for self-defense.

The scabbard was unconsciously pulled open, and the metal of the blade reflected the face.

What kind of expression is that?

A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be emitting bloodshot light.

That was a brilliance that Ryougi Shiki had never shown since she was a child. Just imagining those scenes, the joy exceeded all her previous life.

Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his cheek.

Then she suddenly covered her mouth. She felt disgusted by her own reaction and instinctively retched.

What is she doing? What is she thinking?

Under the surprised gaze of the other students in the class, the girl in kimono rushed out of the classroom.

After that, she stayed in the health classroom until school was over, claiming to be unwell.

However, in the health care market, her symptoms did not improve as usual.

My mind grew increasingly groggy, and the image of Kuroto Kanko kept flashing through my mind. By the time school was over, my body had lost control and I had completely lost consciousness.

The blood of the Demon-Exorcist Family is burning violently.

The skills inherited from the bloodline were used instinctively in an unconscious state, and one could even smell the strange scent of blood at the tip of his nose.

Expelling and killing foreign objects is an instinct engraved in the blood.

Track the prey, stalk the prey, kill the prey.

The girl in kimono used a footwork so strange that even she herself didn't understand it, avoiding everyone's sight and catching up with Kurogane Kanko who had already left school.

The last rays of sunset disappeared in the sky, and the swaying street lights emitted a dim light.

Heitong Xianhu turned into an unfamiliar alley.

Dark alleys and deserted corners.

Even the light from the street lamps becomes dim here.

Everything seemed to be decorating this feast of killing.

The sharp knife emitting a cold light was unconsciously held in her hand.

He rushed forward, bent down, and then thrust out a knife and stabbed into the vital point in the blind spot.

The sound of flesh being torn apart seemed to be ringing in my ears.

Unfortunately, everything did not go as Ryougi Shiki had imagined.

It seems to be a melody of nostalgia, coming from afar, singing in the darkness.

The blue cat-shaped pendant blended into the earth, making a soft sound like a stone falling into a lake.

The flickering light of the street lamps began to fade away, and the night deepened.

A giant fork and plate appeared out of nowhere, blocking the path of the attack.

"I've been watching you for a long time."

The cold voice spoke of the ridiculousness of Ryougi Shiki's behavior, like a beast that had fallen into a trap while chasing its hunter.

The positions of hunter and prey have been reversed.
