Now, Kawakami Ryusuke's secret has been guessed by his little sister, whom he has always looked down upon.

That's ridiculous!

Suddenly, Kawakami Ryusuke smiled slightly, a smile that instantly softened his cold demeanor, making him appear somewhat arrogant and charming. "Not bad! So tell me, who are all those people on my brother's body?"

Cheng Shuang's eyes flashed, suppressing her surprise. Could she say that she was just making up a random counterattack and talking nonsense?

Unexpectedly, they made the wrong move.

The little girl's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Listen carefully!" She paused, and under the other person's feigned arrogance yet deeply expectant expression, her face instantly returned to its expressionless state. "What is our relationship? Why should I tell you?"

Kawakami Ryusuke lowered his slightly raised chin, the smile on his lips vanished, and he looked intently at the little girl on the hospital bed, then sneered, "Whatever your intentions, get those two things out of my body as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Tsk, Big Brother is so heartless!" Cheng Shuang shook his head regretfully. "He didn't even ask how Youzi is doing!?"

"Only smart people have a way to survive. What she does is none of my business, nor is it any of yours!"

So what? Your health problems are none of my business!

The two parted on bad terms, but for Cheng Shuang, it wasn't entirely without gain.

"What's wrong with Brother Kawakami?" Qianli asked as she entered the ward carrying a food box, glancing back at Ryusuke who was walking briskly.

“He might have something to do at the university and is in a hurry to go back,” Cheng Shuang replied casually. She was communicating with Sihai, as Du Jun was still 'missing.' Sihai had secured an opportunity to go to R country for a meeting, but it was in a week.

Liu Juan's situation is a bit more complicated. Her 'identity' is that of a newlywed housewife, and with a close relative by her side, it's inconvenient for her to do anything.

She made up an excuse to come to R country for a class reunion, but her nominal husband didn't want her to go alone and insisted on taking leave to come with her.

Originally, Liu Juan was worried about Cheng Shuang's situation and was about to compromise, but recently she discovered that Huaxia was not without its own problems.

She and her nominal husband seem to be targeted by a demon.

The reason Cheng Shuang wasted flower petals and contacted Sihai again in such a short time was that she seriously suspected that after Du Jun entered the Land of Death, he should have awakened in Kawakami Ryusuke's body. However, something went wrong, and Kawakami Ryusuke's soul did not fall asleep. In fact, it was very powerful and occupied the main position.

This is probably the main reason why Du Jun has not contacted Si Hai all this time.

The fact that a body possessing two or more different souls hasn't been torn apart or collapsed can only mean that Kawakami Ryusuke himself has a serious problem.

When Si Hai learned that Cheng Shuang's elder brother was named Kawakami Ryusuke, there was a moment of silence.

He told Cheng Shuang that the name Ryusuke was familiar; he was the protagonist of a horror manga in Japan called Crossroads.

If the time for communication hadn't been so short, Sihai would have loved to tell Cheng Shuang the entire content of the comic.

Unfortunately, after he said one sentence, the power of the petals disappeared.

"Words that bring misfortune or fortune, the power of words?" Cheng Shuang murmured.

"Yuko, what are you saying?" Qianli asked subconsciously while peeling an apple for Cheng Shuang.

"It's nothing. How is Yumi?"

“She was worried about you. Dad took her to school and contacted her parents, asking them to pick her up in the evening.”

Qianli pursed her lips and said dejectedly, "It's all my fault."

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "Since ghosts and monsters exist in the world, it's only a matter of time before we encounter them. Why should we blame you?"

She yawned. "I had a bad dream and didn't sleep well. I'm going to sleep a little longer!"

"Okay! Alright!" Qianli put the food back into the insulated bag. "Eat when you wake up!"

Qianli probably didn't expect that Cheng Shuang wouldn't even have time to eat this meal after waking up, because Long Jie returned and personally took his sister away, saying that he would take her to live with him and take good care of her.

Chisato didn't really trust Yuko's older brother, but since he was still Yuko's brother, he had no right to stop it, so he could only tell his parents about it.

The Akasaka couple sighed heavily and said nothing.

Cheng Shuang didn't expect to sleep so soundly. Perhaps she had wasted too much mental energy in her dream of outwitting Kayako. When she woke up, she found herself in a completely different place.

What came into view was a standard one-bedroom apartment in Country R. The room was small, and the furniture was simple and neatly arranged.

At this moment, the sky outside is dark and gloomy, and the lights inside are off. The only sound is the crackling noise from the television, with the screen filled with static.

The girl's first reaction was that Kayako was trying to trick her again, but upon closer reflection, even if she wasn't confident in the talismans she drew, she should at least have some confidence in the spatial dimension.

Furthermore, she dealt a double blow to Kayako, both physically and mentally. Even if it was easy for her to accumulate resentment, she probably wouldn't want to put in the effort and get away with targeting her, an evenly matched, or even superior, enemy.

It takes at least some time to recuperate and recharge.

Soon, Cheng Shuang spotted a young man with his back turned in the corner.

He made no sound whatsoever, his breathing so light it was almost inhuman.

"Big brother?" Cheng Shuang called softly.

The young man was wearing the same clothes he had worn when he visited her during the day: a white suit jacket over a black undershirt, with only the collar of the black undershirt visible from behind.

He was leaning towards the window, staring at something, completely unaware that the person on the floor had woken up.

Cheng Shuang cautiously took out a firearm. If possible, she did not want to resort to violence, since Long Jie's body seemed to contain the shadow of Du Jun.

The reason she was so sure was because of Du Jun's pupils. Du Jun is of mixed race, and his pupil color is closer to grayish-brown.

The Kawakami family also has a family photo, featuring Ryusuke as a teenager. Back then, he didn't have heterochromia, and his appearance was clearly Asian, with delicate features, making him look completely different from the handsome foreign man he is now.

So when Cheng Shuang first saw him, she didn't dare to confirm it.

Upon closer reflection, the change in his pupils might be related to a soul that didn't belong to him emerging from his body.

Of course, if Ryusuke hadn't confessed without being asked, she wouldn't have thought of that.

"Ryusuke!" Cheng Shuang called out softly again.

This time, Ryusuke reacted, clearly showing that he preferred the title of "elder brother" to the title of his own name.

The young man slowly turned around, his heterochromatic eyes now displaying a new change—a deep, dark purple, like a whirlpool. He stood up with an empty expression, casually tossing his suit jacket to the ground, and walked out the door with an elegant and arrogant demeanor.

At that moment, a light mist began to rise outside, and it grew thicker as he opened the door.

The young man in black walked extremely lightly, his footsteps barely audible. He took two steps outward, as if trying to blend into the mist.

Cheng Shuang got up, touched her groaning lower abdomen, used her sleeve as cover to pop a blue pill into her mouth, and immediately chased after him.
