"You don't look surprised." The man was talking to Qingming, without giving everyone a glimpse.

"Should I be surprised?" Qingming took a step forward, standing face to face with the man, like a mirror image.But the man showed a smile, and the mirror image was shattered, "Let's talk about the past, please move to the banquet hall I specially prepared for you." He made a gesture of invitation, and suddenly remembered something , "I almost forgot to introduce myself. Like my younger brother, my name is Abe Seimei. If you are afraid of confusion, you can call me Hei Seimei."

Hei Qingming's words were very polite, and his tone was very polite.If you ignore the dozen or so men with guns that suddenly appear around, it's the perfect template for a party invitation.

Several people followed him to the brightly lit hall in front of them, and most of the prepared weapons were already in their hands.The richly decorated semi-open hall is divided into two completely symmetrical parts from the center, one half is filled with blooming white roses, and the other half is occupied by artificially dyed black roses.One black and one white are as distinct as the borders of Chu River and Han, and they are fused together in the middle with a variety of meals.

"I have a good show that I want to invite everyone to watch. If you don't mind, please take your seats first." Hei Qingming put the cake at the end of the long table in the middle, and the two candles with 35 on it were flickering because of his movements. dark.However, there were no seats in the entire hall, not even a single chair.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they quickly understood what the so-called "seat" was. The marble floor under their feet suddenly sank, and even with the skill of the few people present, they were trapped underground without realizing it. into the grid.

According to the seat that Kuro Seimei said before, Yaohu and Daitengu were trapped in the farthest place from him, and Kamaitachi was with them; on the right was Auntie and Yaotouji; in front of him was Shuten and trying to pull Shuten One failed and fell down, and the most recent one was Boya who was alone.As for Qingming, he was enjoying VIP treatment, and he was still standing opposite Hei Qingming, with two pistols pressed against his waist at the same time.The demon fox tried to touch the power grid above his head with a corner of his clothes, but all he got was a pinch of burnt black ash.

"Do you want to blow out the candles first or go to the theater first?" Hei Qingming straightened his wrinkled suit and asked Qingming in a cheerful tone.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Qingming seemed to have lost his patience, and asked, "What do you want to do after planning all this and trying so hard to bring us here?"

"What to do?" Hei Qingming fiddled with the candles on the cake, they were a little crooked, he straightened them up, took a step back and looked at his work with satisfaction, "The candles are half burned, let's blow out the candles first Good. What do you think?"

Seimei was forced to walk in front of the cake.

"I'll count one, two, three, shall we play together?" He looked at Qingming now like a gentle brother, "Can I trouble you to turn off the lights, and then sing the birthday song for us?" He looked Looking at the people who are trying to get out.

The high and low lights far and near were extinguished one by one, and it was pitch black outside the house, only the gloomy light of the candles.

"My birthday is not today." Qingming said, "It was yesterday."

"To be precise, it's midnight on the 21st, you and I are both." Hei Qingming said, stubborn and gentle, the next second the voice became loud and irritable, echoing throughout the hall, "Why don't you start singing!"

"See what he's going to do?" Yaohu whispered to the big tengu, and the moment it got dark, the big tengu held his hand.

The not-so-loud and untidy singing echoed in the room, and only one person didn’t speak—Bo Ya looked at Seimei’s face illuminated by the candle, and felt his own weakness again, just like when he saw Kagura’s corpse back then. General feeling.So weak that he doesn't even have the ability to try to resist fate, and these two times, it's all because of the same person——Hei Qingming, the twin brother of his lover, the murderer who killed his beloved sister.He reached out to touch the electric grid above his head, letting the rumbling electric current burn the skin of his palm, even if it was only for a moment.

Seimei saw Boya's movements under the bright current.He saw Boya's eyes clearly, it was no longer the usual wisdom, it was completely filled with hatred, no, not only hatred, but also fear.

Seimei was pressed on the head and blew out the candle.The dirge-like voice finally stopped.Thousands of lights were turned on one by one again, but they were not as bright as before.

"Do you know what I wished for?" Hei Qingming took Qingming's hand and cut the cake together, even the length of the fingers were exactly the same, Qingming's wrist kept shaking, because of nausea and reluctance.

"What wish did you make?" He still asked calmly.

"This year's wish won't work, but I can tell you my past wish. I make the same wish every year," he divided the cake into plates with a knife, and the black forest flavor cake stuck to the road, like Long-dried blood.

"My wish is to meet you," he said. "This year I can finally change my wish."

He fed the chocolate into Qingming's mouth, "I thought it would be a surprise for you, but I didn't expect you to be not surprised. I think the old woman told you something. Let me guess, Black Night Mountain ? My identity?"

Seimei sighed, "No, the first thing we suspected was that recording. Yaohu and Datengu went to the Chief of Police, Eight Hundred Bikuni, and asked for all the recordings he gave you. However, there are several words in that recording, Eight Hundred It wasn’t in the recording that the bhikkhuni gave you. That’s when we began to suspect.”

"I was negligent."

"So I used this to ask my grandma, and she told me everything."

The whole cake was thrown to the ground, bloody and bloody.

"Grandma? You actually called him grandma?" He looked at Qingming sadly, "Sure enough, you have been assimilated by them too." His gaze finally fell on the people he had ignored for a long time, and after looking around for a week, he landed on Qingming. On Boya's body, the corners of his mouth completed a mocking arc, "By the way, I almost forgot to treat you to a good show." He didn't see the look that Yaohu and Qingming exchanged when his eyes fell on Boya.

The huge projection screen slowly lowered, and Hei Qingming activated the switch.Even though he was prepared, Boya still clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.The scene in front of me can be described with many words: unsightly, gathering a crowd for prostitution, raping young girls... There are many more dirty words that are difficult to utter.Mr. Abe is not among the pleasure-seeking crowd, but there is a middle-aged man who is three points similar to Boya.

"See, this is what your so-called grandma, the Abe family you defended, did." Hei Qingming said to Qingming, his tone calm enough to be creepy, "Is this what you want?"

"What about you, what do you want?" Qingming asked him, he looked straight at Hei Qingming, the same figure was reflected in the two pairs of identical eyes.

"I want to do a lot of things, for example..." Hei Qingming said, he looked at the time, it was exactly eight o'clock, "publish all these dark things." The screen switched to the live broadcast of the TV station, Japan The biggest TV station played the unsightly video during the commercial time, "I think everyone would rather watch such exciting scenes than boring TV dramas."

"You want to destroy the Abe family." Seimei said affirmatively, "Why?"

"I haven't finished my words, I still want to..." His eyes suddenly fell on the big tengu and the fox, "Get rid of everyone who betrayed me."

The dagger stabbed straight out from behind the demon fox, but was blocked by the big tengu who had been on guard for a long time.The dagger brushed between his palms, bringing out a stream of blood.

After a miss, another dagger pierced from the other side and collided with another dagger that was shining with blue light, emitting a light as bright as the previous electric current.

Seimei stared in shock at the scene in front of him, at the pair of small hands holding the dagger—the hands of Zashiki Waruji.The sight of the others was blocked, and they couldn't see the battle situation at this time, but they could only hear the sound of weapons colliding together.

Yaohu also looked surprised, and then showed an expression of sudden realization, "It's you." He looked at the little hand holding the dagger tightly in front of him, and gradually overlapped with the picture of the hotel that day.But no matter what, he couldn't associate the gray eyes in front of him with the clear eyes before.But Zashiki's moves became more fierce and faster than before.The space here is too narrow, which is not conducive to the tall two people. Even if it is a one-on-two, the two cannot gain the upper hand.On the contrary, Zashiki became more and more handy in attacking with his agility.

"Ibaraki, can your gloves go through the power grid?" Shuten and Ibaraki heard the sound of fighting not far away, and the futility and powerlessness of being locked up made them angry, but they were still thinking of ways rationally .

"It should be possible to try." Ibaraki nodded.He stretched out towards the grid with gloves on, but the moment he was about to touch it, his hand was tightly grasped by Shuten.

"Give me the gloves, I'll do it."

"Who are you?" Ootengu said while fighting against Zashiki, fortunately, except for the scratch at the beginning, he and Yaohu didn't suffer any other injuries.The fact that Zashiki is a demon was reminded by Yoko, who wrote the word "evil" on the back of his hand when he was feeding him candy in the car.

"I'm just a 30-year-old dwarf who can't grow up." Zashiki replied while saying, "Master Seimei saved me, and I am willing to do everything for him."

"Including murder?" Yaohu took the dagger drawn by Ootengu and stabbed at Zashiki again. The two people who had a tacit understanding had found the most suitable mode for them in this not short-term battle.

"Qingming, what happened?" Boya asked, he regretted not bringing the black panther along.

"It's because I didn't treat guests well, and I almost forgot that you can't see them now." The screen that had gone dark lit up again, and it was divided into four pieces, and they could finally see each other.

"Zashiki..." Auntie was the first person to react, and also the one who couldn't believe it. The Zashiki who led them through the pipes, the one who softly called her "Auntie", and the one who held hands with her Zashiki... how could she be a demon?

Seimei looked at the screen, seeming to enjoy her expression, "I heard that the boys Kamaitachi called her a devil, which is very appropriate."

Isn't a demon the creature that an angel becomes after falling from heaven?

Just when everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the true identity of the "devil", the mutation happened again. Like last time, the tip of Zashiki's shoe hid a third dagger, and in this narrow space, One of the two must be unable to escape.The demon fox suddenly pushed the big tengu back, and the reaction force made him retreat at the same time, and the tip of the knife had already touched his shirt.Shuten's hand was about to touch the wire used to imprison them.

The tip of the knife touched his shirt, but it failed like last time—the wire suddenly disappeared, and the demon fox took the whole person out with both arms.Within a few seconds, everyone stood on the ground again.Zashiki dodged back to Kuro Seimei's side, with only one dagger left in both hands, protecting Kuro Seimei behind him - the other dagger was snatched by Ootengu.The first thing Boya did was to attack the two people standing behind Qingming. The wound left by the electric grid in his palm and the unhealed wound were torn apart due to violent movements, but he still held Boya's hand tightly.

Hei Qingming didn't pay attention to the changes in the situation before him, and sighed faintly, "You still chose to stand by them."

Where he was looking, a pale woman in a white kimono was slowly walking towards them.

"I'm not on their side." Xue Nu looked at Hei Qingming, who had already been controlled by Hei Qingming's men, "I just can't stand on your side anymore. Qingming, you're going the wrong way."

"Really?" Hei Qingming looked at her, and then at the big tengus standing behind him, "Then what is the right way for you to go? Do you think they will accept you in the future? An ambush The spies by their side for more than 20 years." His gaze went back and forth between Ootengu and Yukino, and finally returned to Yukio, "It just so happens that everyone is here, why don't you ask your 'respected' Ootengu-sama."

"Qingming, stop." Xuenv said, "The entire Black Night Mountain system was written by me, and the explosives you arranged have all failed."

"You reminded me," Hei Qingming nodded, "In addition to that good show, I also prepared a quiz for you." The screen was divided into two sides again, one side was the climax of the sex feast, and the other side was It is a group of children sitting at the table listening to the teacher singing.

"Please listen to my question carefully," Qingming asked, "If only one side could survive, which side would you choose? Choose carefully." He stroked Qingming's long hair again, "Especially you, I dear brother."

What appeared on the screen was a model similar to the map that Hannya showed them before, except that the explosives at this time existed in the center of the two dense green dots.

"As you said, all the systems I use are written by you," Hei Qingming, "A person like me who is greedy for life, fears death, and loves power, after knowing that you may have a heart of betrayal, how can he not make another preparation?" Woolen cloth."

Xue Nu looked at him, and for a few seconds, she really felt that he showed a hurt expression.

"I really don't want to use this system." Hei Qingming said, "But since I have used it, the first time I use it, the more exciting the better, isn't it?" He looked surrounded by his subordinates again Everyone, especially Boya and Seimei clasped their hands.

He looked at his watch impatiently, "It's been 5 minutes, you haven't decided yet? Do you want me to make a decision for you again?" The cursor kept moving on both sides, and it was obvious that the place where the explosion finally stopped Place, "By the way, this explosion is very well designed, and I guarantee that it will not exceed the range I delineated."

The implication is that the side left behind is absolutely safe.

On one side is a kid who doesn't know anything, and on the other side is a rich man who does all kinds of evil.It was obviously the easiest choice, but Seimei couldn't easily answer it.

"You really let me down." Hei Qingming looked at Qingming, "I'll give you the last ten seconds, after which I will choose randomly."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Wait a minute." It was Yaohu who interrupted him. He and Datengu walked towards Hei Qingming, and the people behind him raised their guns and waited for Hei Qingming's mask.

"Oh, it's the traitor next to the Hungry Ghost. Why, are you going to make a choice for my brother?"

"No, I just don't get it..."

Hei Qingming interrupted him, "You have to ask me why I did this again, right?" He showed a distressed expression, "Why can't you see such an obvious thing?" He said, "I did so much before. There are so many bad things, but you just want to do a good thing?" He looked at Qingming who was standing side by side with Yaohu and the others, "Didn't you already see and dig out the darkness hidden in the dark by these families on the way you came here? Did they violate every law they set with their own hands, use those things that prohibit trade to obtain huge benefits for their families, and then use the monstrous power in their hands to erase all traces of these, and place themselves in a high position Location."

"You already know why they established this sanatorium? Everyone here is a limited product that is only circulated in the upper class. Once the successful match is selected, they will be sent to that hospital, and the rest People..." He looked at the banquet that seemed to never end, and what he wanted to say was self-evident.

"And now, as long as you make the correct choice that we all know, you can remove all the real behind-the-scenes masters." He induced Qingming, "Remove them, and then you and I will join hands to re-establish a real man behind the scenes." Bright family, isn't it good?"

"Without night, there would be no day." Qingming replied, "I don't agree with their behavior, but I don't agree with your thoughts either."

"That's right, there is no day without night." Hei Qingming nodded in agreement, "That's why I invited them." He looked at the others, "Together, you and I are the truly powerful Abe family. The power of Genjia, Tianyu group, and Yaowang group, these forces add up to destroy all the old forces, and then build a new order." He said to Ootengu and Shuten, "As far as I know, The two of you have always been against these real 'dark' behaviors. The Tianyu group is anti-drug, and the Yaowang group is the main force in combating human trafficking. We can achieve these things better together."

"I don't need to cooperate with people like you." Ootengu said, "No matter how high-sounding you say, in the end it's just for your own rights. Besides..." He glanced at the cursor that was still moving, "I can't Trust a man who will use innocent children as leverage."

"You said that well today." Shuten agreed with Daitengu for the first time, and then looked at Hei Qingming, "I don't have such big ideas as you, and my demon king team will not get involved in these struggles. But I do have a question for you."

Almost as soon as the voice fell, Ibaraki's hand had pinched Kuro Seimei's neck—it was the first time he showed such speed in front of everyone, and even Zashiki, who was closest to Kuro Seimei, didn't respond in time , When Zashiki reacted, he immediately put the dagger on Ibaraki's neck, but Ibaraki didn't care at all.

"Why on earth did you harm Hongye?" Shuten asked, "She has done so many things for you."

"Oh, yes. Hongye, I almost forgot about her." Hei Qingming said, "I have two answers, do you want to hear the real one or the fake one?"

"What's fake, and what's real?" Ibaraki's hand was stronger than before.

There were already red strangle marks on Hei Qingming's neck, and he wasn't nervous at all because of Ibaraki's threat. After all, although his life was in Ibaraki's hands at this time, it wasn't that the circle around him aimed at everyone's subordinates. Vegetarian.

"She knows too much and wants too much."

"What do you mean?" Jiu Tun asked.

But Hei Qingming didn't want to answer again, "Obviously I asked the question first, if you don't give me an answer, then I have to make my own choice." The finger moved slightly, and the cursor suddenly stopped after jumping at an accelerated rate—stop At that banquet.

"Sorry, wrong choice."

The cursor moved again and stopped at the child's side, this time it really stopped.A countdown starts on the screen.

"The ten-second countdown, you can also consider another option." He said.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Ibaraki asked.

"I'm afraid." Hei Qingming said, "But if you kill me, your best friend won't be able to get out of here today." He clearly knew that this was Ibaraki's biggest weakness.

"Three, two,..." Hei Qingming counted, with a happy smile on his face.Qingming looked at him, at his brother, he was already crazy.

At the end of the countdown, the children were learning to sing a simple English song from the teacher.The screen went black and nothing happened.

"It's impossible!" Hei Qingming really showed a panicked expression this time, but that's not all.

The two long knives slashed from left to right and back, Yao Dao Ji made the first attack, and Auntie made up the knife every time the needle was needed.The dagger in Otengu's hand swiped towards the two who were restraining Yukino.

In just two or three minutes, all of Hei Qingming's men fell to the ground.Except for Zashiki, whose dagger was still on Ibaraki's neck, there was no one there.Gu Gu and Yao Dao Ji picked up the two trophies, and the person pointed at by the gun has turned into Hei Qingming.

His panic only lasted for a short period of time, "This is the base of Black Night Mountain, you don't think there are only these people."

"Of course not." It was the first time that Qingming took the initiative to walk towards him, and took the device to control the screen from his hand, "Brother." This was the first time he called him that.

The screen turned on again, but it was a completely different picture from before. The room where the children stayed was empty, and the police officers in explosion-proof suits were trying to dismantle the explosives. The other side was exactly the same.

"This is impossible..." Kuro Seimei said, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zashiki who had been maintaining the same posture.

"I'm sorry, Seimei-sama." The dagger fell from Ibaraki's neck and fell to the ground. "I promised my mother to protect you. But I don't know how to protect you." He took out a photo from his arms. There are not many people: the three brothers Hongye, Yuki, Kamaitachi, Zashiki Doji, and standing in the middle is Kuro Seimei, "Little Kamaitachi also left me a message before he died, I know everything you did .”

"You took Hongye to avenge her parents and made her regard you as a benefactor, but what you killed was the political enemy of the Abe family at that time; the three Kamaitachi brothers are nothing more than a pawn that can be discarded when you run out ;I think I'm probably just your pawn too. But that's okay, you have reasons not to consider us your friends and family, but why did you kill your mother, why! She's the only one who treats us well, doesn't she right?" Zashiki yelled at him.

"Mother didn't kill him," Xue Nu looked at the photo and said, "I killed her."

"What? Sister Xue Nu, you..."

"At that time, my mother was doing the same thing as now, and I was the first person to be matched successfully," she said, "I killed my mother when I resisted, and it was Hei Qingming who saved me with his identity." .”

"I don't believe it." Zashiki said, "You are just a weak omega, how could you kill a strong mother..."

"Believe it or not, it's true."

"No..." Zashiki hadn't spoken yet.The hall door was flung open.

"Seimei, stop." Abe-sama was not wearing a gorgeous kimono, but plain clothes.

"What kind of capacity did you come to say this to me?" Hei Qingming looked at Mr. Abe with a smile.

"As the current ruler of the Abe family, as your grandma."

"Grandma?" Hei Qingming smiled, "Are you finally willing to admit me now? Isn't your grandson always alone?" He suddenly broke free from Ibaraki's hand and walked in front of Abe-sama and Seimei, " This generation of the Abe family. Isn’t there only one person named Seimei Abe? You see, I don’t even have a name of my own.”

"You said she told you everything?" He asked Seimei, "Did that grandma tell you that there was only one master of the Black Night Mountain and the master of the Abe family before, and did she tell you why our two twin brothers grew up together?" Then they were separated? Why don't you remember me? Why did I come to the Black Night Mountain instead of you?"

"No." Seimei said.

Hei Qingming approached step by step until the muzzle of the gun touched his forehead - it was Boya's gun.

"Actually, the answer is very simple. Because I was born with a heart problem, I was abandoned by my family. Because I was sure that I would not live long, I was allowed to temporarily control the Black Night Mountain, just to let you have a good childhood." He said Mrs. Xiang Abe, "Thinking of it this way, it's normal for you to be close to her, brother. After all, she chose you, so that you have everything you have now."

Hei Qingming unbuttoned his jacket, revealing the scar on his heart, "Fortunately, I found someone who matches me." He took another step forward, and Boya's finger was already firmly on the trigger. superior.

"Well, let me tell you, why on earth did I do all this." Hei Qingming's hand touched Qingming's face, "For you, my dear brother. I can't bear to see you standing alone in that light I can't help but want to pull you into this dark night to walk with me, I want you to see all the darkness I have seen." He became incoherent.

"You're crazy." Seimei said.

Hei Qingming actually nodded, "Maybe, sometimes I don't know why I have to spend a lot of time designing and guiding you to discover all this, instead of killing you and replacing you without dying. But later, I found the answer, you Probably the closest and only person I can get close to in this world." The overly long nails scratched Seimei's face, and he enjoyed licking the blood stains off his fingertips. "So I thought, I'm going to give you a chance. It's only the two of us that's complete, isn't it?"

Seimei held his hand.

"No, you're wrong. I'm the one who has heart disease since childhood."

He unbuttoned his shirt and found a scar that was almost exactly the same as that of Hei Qingming, "I don't know why you also have heart problems, but it is indeed me, not you, who has congenital heart disease." He took out a scar from his arms. A thin booklet, "This is my father's diary that I just got yesterday. It is indeed my grandma who decided to send me to a nursing home with a heart attack, but my father and mother secretly exchanged us. They originally planned to I'll pick you up after I finish my heart surgery. Unexpectedly, there was an accident before that."

"Stop talking nonsense with him." Boya said, "Let me kill him, I want to avenge Kagura."

"Let's do it." Hei Qingming said, "But do you want to consider asking me a question first, why did I kill your sister?"

"Do people like you need a reason to kill people?" With a little more force, the bullet would penetrate Hei Qingming's brain, and Boya couldn't wait.

"Here," he pointed to the scar, "is Kagura's heart."

"Are you going to kill me now?"

"I don't believe it." Boya said, his hands trembling suddenly showed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"Do you know how long I've been looking for this heart? Are you sure you're going to kill me, this is the last part of her left in this world."

Boya closed her eyes, and the little girl in the pink dress was running in her mind, holding the white doll he made by himself in her arms.She kept calling, "Brother."

She also said something.

Boya pulled the trigger.

"No!" That was the shout of Snow Maiden.

Looking at the hall that has been engulfed in flames.The few people who survived the catastrophe did not have the slightest joy, and the sound of huge explosions continued to echo in their ears.Numbly watching the firefighters who rushed to extinguish the fire in front of them.

Demon Fox, Daitengu, Seimei, Boya, Shuten, Ibaraki, Aunt, Demon Sword Princess.The eight people stood like this quietly watching the building that gradually turned into flying ash in front of them.

15 minutes ago.

"No!" The moment Boya pulled the trigger, Yukino suddenly pushed the big tengu and the fox back heavily, and she rushed towards Hei Qingming, the switch of the mask was activated at the same time, and the high-density air-conditioning swept across Hei Qingming's heart—that was the last bomb that Hei Qingming planted, a bomb that no one could stop.

He was indeed a lunatic, or maybe he just knew that everyone could betray him except himself.Except himself, so he buried the bomb in his own heart - the heart he stole from Kagura.

She used all the cold energy stored in the mask and her embrace to buy them time to escape, but she herself stayed forever.

Zashiki and Abe-sama who didn't have time to leave and didn't try to leave were also left behind.

Yaodao Ji stood not far away, and the blue light on the phone had disappeared permanently.She laughed suddenly, "What an idiot."

"Cry if you want to cry." The aunt stood behind her.

"Let's go." Yaodao Ji didn't cry, but turned around and smiled at her aunt, "Let's go and see those little shrimps. Those people should be tired for a long time."

"Well, good." The aunt's feet didn't move, and she seemed to be able to see those bright eyes.

Demon.

"Best friend, best friend, best friend." Ibaraki looked at Shuten, "Let's go PK tomorrow."

Jiu Tun didn't answer him, but walked towards the sea of ​​flames.Put the red leaf that has been treasured for a long time in the palm of your hand, and let the wind bring it into the flame, where it belongs.

Ibaraki looked at him from behind him, and heard Shuten say "Goodbye."

Then he looked at Jiu Tun and turned around and walked towards him, "Okay."

Seeing the fire gradually being extinguished, Yaohu lowered his head and looked at his palm, where the USB flash drive used by Xuenv lay quietly. The pendant on it was as delicate as when he saw it for the first time. , is that old photo, the people on it have all left this world.Yaohu organized the photos, turned them over and put them in the palm of his hand.

"She's a good woman." Yaohu said, rubbing the mask against the palm of his hand, "It's finally over." The other hand held the hand of the big tengu, and the ring on the finger was embedded in the skin, so that the ear was still buzzing He felt a sense of reality.

Time back to before six o'clock.

"The toilet is not over there." Yoko said to Zashiki who asked him to take him to the toilet.They have come to a remote corner.

"You recognized me, right?" Zashiki said with certainty.It was no surprise to see the big tengu who had been following them come out of the corner.

Yaohu looked at him unexpectedly, and the dagger in Datengu's hand was ready.

"I didn't expect you to show your cards first," Yaohu looked at him, "Devil."

"How did you recognize me?" Zashiki asked, "There shouldn't be any flaws in my disguise."

"There is no camouflage without flaws." Yaohu said, "And your flaws are your eyes."

"It turned out to be eyes..." Zashiki muttered to himself, "Let's cooperate." Zashiki said straight to the point.

"Cooperation?" Yaohu was puzzled, "Shouldn't you be the most sincere person to Hei Qingming?"

"As expected, you already know about Kuro Seimei. It was Seimei-sama who said it." Zashiki said, "I don't think your arrangement is as simple as what you saw before. I can make things simpler. "

"Why should I trust you?"

"Let me tell you a story." He said, "Seven children were sent to this nursing home at the same time, and one of them was very special. He was just sent here. He was very good to the other six kids, took great care of everyone, and soon became the eldest of the seven. He knew why everyone came to the nursing home, and some of them were Because their parents were killed, some were abandoned by their parents, and some were considered to bring disaster to their families. He helped each of them, helped those whose parents were killed to avenge, and found someone to train them so that they would not be bullied. Trained everyone to be His confidant. Yes, he is Hei Qingming. And I was the one who was determined to bring disaster to my family. The teacher who took the seven of us was the only one who was really good to us besides Hei Qingming, but I Only then did I know that she was killed by Hei Qingming."

"So you betrayed."

"More than that, all the good things he did to us had a purpose, and he lied to all of us." Zashiki continued, "I want to end this lie."

Yaohu looked at the building that had been completely reduced to ashes and left nothing behind.The lie was indeed terminated.

Time has not ended, and the living will produce more lies and darkness.The photo that should have been cold in the palm of my hand felt faintly hot.He thought about what Hei Qingming said, and what he saw and heard tonight.
