Xijiang suddenly pressed the pause button.

"You can see that Shiori's reaction this time is completely different."

"The key point is that her eyes have highlights, and her emotions when she speaks are fuller, which is obviously different from the little Shiori at the beginning."

"So all the clues now point to one thing. Little Shiori and Hiruko God cannot be equated."

"Has anyone ever counted how many times the Kobayakawa couple died?"

"Including this time, that's three times."

"It counts as the time when the shadow replaced the human, a total of four times, no objection accepted."

"Ryunosuke killed them three times. How tragic it is."

"The number of deaths is unique to samsara works. After this series is finished, someone will definitely do the statistics."

Xijiang habitually glanced at the comments and joined in the topic.

"Anyway, I personally think this is the last chance to kill Shiori's parents. After all, this is definitely a minefield."

……

End of small talk.

Episode 12 of the animation continues to play——

The moment when Shiori Kobayakawa's panicked scream rang out.

Ryunosuke had already predicted it.

Although "she" had not yet planned to launch an attack, Shiori's alertness disrupted her rhythm.

Ryunosuke had no choice but to pick up the hammer behind him and hit Shiori's father's feet hard!

Even with Shiori's reminder, the father was still slow to react.

There is undoubtedly a world of difference between his reaction speed and that of Shadow Beinuo.

There was a loud bang!

Everything happened just as Ryunosuke had predicted. The shadow disintegrated on the spot and turned into a pool of strange black mud.

[No, no! No! Another nightmare... the same nightmare again!] Young Shiori's face was filled with despair. She stared blankly at everything that was happening before her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.

[Hiizuru...why are you doing this?] Kobayakawa Asako covered her mouth in shock, her eyes full of confusion.

However, Ryunosuke had no sympathy at all.

Although it is a bit strange why these shadows don't fight back, the shadows' disguise is just a show.

After all, Ryunosuke could clearly sense that the remaining mother and daughter were shadows.

[Are you going to keep pretending until the last minute?]

Ryunosuke slowly raised the handle of the hammer and looked coldly at this familiar yet unfamiliar mother.

Both Minami Hizuru and Minami Ryunosuke knew her. The three of them lived on this island when they were young. If the Minami siblings had not met the kimono girl, Hata, Ryunosuke would never have attached himself to his sister's body.

Asako Kobayakawa's body was trembling. It seemed that Ryunosuke's provocation was extremely effective. Her facial features gradually became hideous, and her originally healthy skin color quickly turned dark, looking very weird.

The conflict between the two sides was about to break out. Shiori quickly left her chair and ran to her mother to persuade her:

[Mom! Don't fight. If you can't win, run away... This is an order.]

Shiori just finished speaking.

The mother with a fierce face suddenly calmed down, and the gray and black color on her skin faded away.

……

Camera switch.

Shiori escaped in a panic through the window of the children's room.

Even though her body was so small that it shouldn't have been possible for her to escape through the barred window, her essence was a shadow.

Shiori, wearing a black dress, blended into the shadows and slipped out through the palm-width gap.

Ryunosuke, who followed closely behind, had a cold face and watched her leave indifferently.

Shiori's mother died after all.

Shiori is the only one left in the Kobayakawa family.

However, what were waiting for the little girl were Shen Ping and the other two who were lying in ambush behind the house.

Nezu and Shinpei each had a nail gun and were ready for battle. In addition, Shadow Tide was blocking the center, forming a tight encirclement.

All the audience knew that Shiori couldn't escape.

Next shot.

A close-up of Shiori's face.

The baby face with red eyes was covered with tears. Her painful expression was heartbreaking. When she looked at the person in front of her with desperate eyes, there was actually a glimmer of hope.

[Brother Shinpei, you are finally here...?]

A child's voice filled with fragile emotions just sounded, but was drowned out by a noisy and harsh noise.

Because what greeted her were dense long spikes breaking through the air!

Shiori's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then...

The cold and sharp nails pierced into her body at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

Arms, chest, calves, and the shadows under her feet...

Just a few seconds.

The little girl's body is covered with visible and invisible pinholes!

At this moment, Shiori realized that the Shinpei in front of her was completely different from her impression. [Why... the Shinpei brother I called is not here? ]

Shiori, who was covered in wounds, could no longer move. She and her shadow body lay on the ground.

The other three people could not hear the whispered words at all.

[It’s easier than I thought. This time I succeeded.] Nezu took a closer look at Shiori’s body. There were indeed more than three spikes pinning the shadow.

[Chao, please.]

〔Um.〕

Shadow Tide approached Shiori step by step, his long golden hair moved without wind and quickly turned into a golden blade.

Just as she was about to take action, the girl stopped.

Shinpei and Nezu could only see her back.

The camera turned and came to the front of Shadow Tide.

At this moment, her left eye was actually shedding tears...

The animation shows Shadow Tide's psychological activities:

[This feeling is so familiar, just as sad as it was then... Why am I crying?]

Tears rolled down her cheeks until they fell to the ground.

The camera moves downwards following the crystal teardrop, and finally a transparent splash of water blooms.

The viewing angle is very low, close to the ground, until the tears spread on the road, and Shiori in the center of the picture is also crying.

〔tide?〕

Shinpei's voice came from behind.

Yingzichao gradually came back to his senses, then wiped away his tears, "I'm fine... I always feel a little bit..."

She didn't have time to finish her words.

A sharp blade suddenly flew over from a distance!

The direction is pointing directly at Shadow Tide's chest!

She didn't have time to dodge, but she sensed the shadow's presence, and her shawl-length blonde hair swung quickly, spreading out in front of her body to block the sudden attack from the blade.

Poof!

The blade carried great kinetic energy, easily cutting through Shadow Tide's hair, and the tip of the blade sank into her chest.

Everyone panicked and immediately looked in the direction where the blade came from.

I saw a girl standing next to the wall in the distance.

Shinpei and Shadowshio are very familiar with each other.

Because she is Kofune Shio's younger sister - Kofune Mio.

However, the shadows at her feet were flowing abnormally, which was obviously the characteristic of a shadow man.

Shadow Mio was still dressed in a sailor uniform, maintaining the one-handed throwing action, and the emotions on her face were hard to understand.

I only heard her say in a cold voice: "Sister, don't get close to mother, otherwise... I will cut you into pieces."

While Shadow Mio was issuing a warning, her palm was also projecting a picture, and after a while, the kitchen knife that she had just thrown out returned to her hand.

[Mio!] Shinpei tensed up and raised his nail gun to guard against the other party.

The sense of oppression that Shadow Mio brought to him was too strong. After all, he had died at her hands twice and his limbs were broken once.

[This guy, shouldn't he come out at night?] Nezu frowned. He just said that the plan went well, but something went wrong the next second.

It's really a jinx.

Ga——!

The next shot of the animation actually cut to a crow.

Above everyone's heads, a crow with black wings flew to the eaves of the building, and its round eyes stared at Amishiro Shinpei's position.

Yingzichao covered his injured chest. The place where he was stabbed by the kitchen knife had been digitized and would heal soon.

Therefore, her mind was not on the wound at all, but she shouted quickly:

[Shimpei! There's another shadow nearby!]

The words had just fallen out before Shinpei and Nezu could react.

A blinding flash suddenly lit up!

At the same time, everyone heard a high-frequency noise. Needless to say, Shinpei immediately understood that the shadow man's "scanning" ability was activated.

And the direction where the flash occurs...

It was the crow.

Shinpei Amishiro's whole body stiffened because he found that a large number of tiny spots of light were flying around his body.

This meant that the crow had "scanned" him.

If left unchecked, all the information Shinpei has will be leaked!

[Oh no! Hurry up and attack that crow!]

Shinpei turned around anxiously, raised the nail gun high, and fired the nails without hesitation.

Even if he reacted immediately and launched an attack.

But the crow was small and was in a very high position, so the nail flew past but missed it completely.

The seemingly random position where it stopped seemed to be carefully chosen, and it was certain that Shinping could not interfere with its "scanning" process.

[Xiao Shen, how can you attack "yourself" so casually?]

Shadow Mio's voice came from behind him, and her tone seemed to be somewhat concerned, but the more so, the more it made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave.

[Shinpei, be careful!]

Even if Amijiro Shinpei didn't look back, he could predict what would happen next.

Shadow Mio is likely to repeat the same trick and throw the kitchen knife again.

But he couldn't avoid it.

Time seemed to slow down a lot, and Shinpei felt a chill down his spine.

Until he heard a sound of something piercing flesh.

[Ugh... Damn it!]

Shinpei Amiyo was not injured.

Because the old hunter Nezu took the initiative to stand behind Shinpei and used his body to withstand the kitchen knife of Shadow Mio.

[Mr. Nezu!] Shinpei turned around quickly.

I saw him half-kneeling, holding his stomach, and Nezu's body was shaking.

The shadow Mio in the distance no longer had a blank expression on her face, but instead showed a slightly surprised smile:

[As expected... Just as "Xiao Shen" expected, the "Xiao Shen" who can look down is still as handsome as ever.]

As I expected?

Hearing Shadow Mio's inexplicable praise, Amiyo Shinpei felt furious and was unable to react for a moment.

Until a voice exactly like his came from behind Shinpei.

[Looking down, you need to stand at a high place to achieve the best effect, what do you think?]

Shadow Shinpei stood on the roof, looking down at the people below.

The crow just now turned out to be Shinpei's shadow.

Shadow Shinpei turned into a shadow, sliding down the wall, and finally took on a human form.

He put his fingertips on his temples and updated his memory at a very fast speed. [I have been through a lot recently.]

Listening to that similar yet completely unfamiliar tone.

Shinpei Amiyo fell into despair.
