GHQ acted quickly. The next morning, Sakurami Shu was taken away by fully armed GHQ members on his way to school.

As an enthusiastic member of the Chaoyang community, Fang Zheng quietly concealed his achievements and fame, disregarding personal gains and losses, and only dedicated himself to the country and the organization... This spirit is worthy of praise.

So while Fang Zheng lamented that Sakuman Shu's career had become narrower, he quietly published a major news report on the school's BBS, along with pictures and news descriptions. In less than an hour, everyone in the entire university knew that Sakuman Shu had been abducted by GHQ because of his suspected connection with a terrorist organization...

Although in order to protect the privacy of the suspect, Fang Zheng was kind enough to mosaic the face of Sakuman Ji and called him Boy A, but who can be fooled by such an attempt to cover up the truth? As long as the students are more careful and pay attention to who did not come to class that day, and then look at the body shape and clothing, the truth will be revealed almost instantly!

Fang Zheng did this not because he simply disliked Sakuragi Shu, but because he wanted to use this incident to observe the movements around him. After all, according to Fang Zheng's current observations, Sakuragi Shu should be the protagonist of this "copy", so once the protagonist falls into danger, both the enemy and the friendly forces will definitely take action, and Fang Zheng will be able to piece together the original appearance of the plot from these trembling actions, and thus grasp the key points.

Sure enough, Fang Zheng’s strategy worked.

After the news that Sakurami Shu was captured by GHQ spread throughout the school, Yui Inori was the first one to ask for leave. Fang Zheng knew without guessing that she was going to the funeral home to report. In addition, Kyujo Matsuri, who had a good relationship with Sakurami Shu in the class, called a woman named Sakurami Haruka. Later, according to Fang Zheng's investigation, it was learned that this woman was Sakurami Shu's stepmother and the deputy director of the Gene Pharmaceutical Research Institute under GHQ. She was a sibling of a man named Keimichi Shuichiro, who was the director of the Void Research Institute and also a good friend of Sakurami Shu's father, Sakurami Kurosu.

Not only that, Fang Zheng also discovered that Sakura Mana should have a sister named Sakura Mana, and according to the top-secret information he searched on the GHQ network, the latter should be the initiator of the so-called "Lost Christmas"...

At this moment, Fang Zheng finally got the clue.

Once the goal is set, it will be easy for Fang Zheng to trace back the entire background setting with the help of past vision.

First of all, according to the setting, an alien meteorite fell to the earth and then spread a virus called "Apocalypse Virus", and Sakuraman Haruka's brother and Sakuraman Shu's father collaborated to study the virus.

Next, as the first person to come into contact with the meteorite, Sakuragi Shu's sister Mana Sakuragi became the top priority. Sakuragi Shu's biological mother died after giving birth to Sakuragi Shu because she was infected with the Apocalypse virus. After that, Mana Sakuragi and Sakuragi Shu have been together.

One day, when Mana Sakuragi and her brother went to the beach to play, they accidentally rescued a drowning boy. The boy was the leader of the funeral home, Gai Tsuchiya. Mana Sakuragi named him Triton.

Tsuruga loved Sakuramitsu Mana who saved him, but Sakuramitsu Mana loved his younger brother Sakuramitsu Shu. Tsuruga found out that Sakuramitsu Mana was infected by the virus, so he wanted to tell the truth to Sakuramitsu Shu. But he was stopped by Sakuramitsu Mana who arrived first. However, in the end, Sakuramitsu Shu still saw the dense purple crystals hidden in Sakuramitsu Mana's hair that were corroded and grew.

Frightened by this, Sakuragi Shu pushed his sister away and called her a monster. Stimulated by this, Sakuragi Mana completely exploded, which led to the event known as the Lost Christmas...

After that, Tsuchiya Gaku left, and the rescued Sakuragi Shu forgot about everything and lived his life like a normal person again.

Ah...it is indeed the development of Japan's authentic ACG plot, everything is normal, normal operation.

But what to do next?

After getting all the clues, Fang Zheng also began to think about countermeasures. Through his past vision, he naturally discovered that in this series of events, there was a strange boy hiding behind the scenes. He called himself Shen Shi, the collective of the evolution of all human wills on Earth and the representative of God's will. If Fang Zheng guessed correctly, then this boy called Shen Shi should be a spokesperson or monitor of the Order Clan.

If this is the case, then Fang Zheng must be very careful not to let this guy discover him.

Judging from the clues collected so far, Sakuragi Shu should be the "core content" of this copy. Originally, Sakuragi Mana should be the heroine, but now the girl next to Sakuragi Shu is a girl named Yui Inori. According to Fang Zheng's investigation, the other party seems to be a copy of Sakuragi Mana...

Ah... Fang Zheng now knew what this copy was all about.

At the same time, he also had a bold idea.

But you have to wait for the right time.

So in the following time, Fang Zheng still silently monitored everyone. Just as he thought, Tsuchiya Gaya would not give up on Sakuman Shu. He gathered the people of the funeral home, sneaked into GHQ to launch an attack, and rescued Sakuman Shu. Then, just like in many animations, Sakuman Shu met Yui Inori again and pulled out the "void" deep in her heart.

"Xiao Qi, I can trust you, right?"

Looking at the pink-haired girl falling from the sky in front of him, Sakuraman Shu smiled and stretched out his hand.

At this moment, Fang Zheng felt that his gaze, which had been "looking" at a certain place, suddenly shifted to where Sakuraman Ji was!

The time is now!

Fang Zheng stood up and took a step forward.

The next moment, he appeared in a huge space. At the end of the stairs in this space, a girl with the same appearance as Yui was curled up in a ball, suspended in a strange container. Fang Zheng raised his right foot and walked up the stairs.

At this moment, time stopped flowing.

Fang Zheng walked slowly up the stairs until he came to the front of the container. He looked at the sleeping girl inside and nodded.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Miss Sakuraman Mana."

【……Who are you?】

A voice sounded from Fang Zheng's mind.

"My name is Fang Zheng, and I'm just a passerby. In fact, I became interested in you after I learned about your story, Miss Sakura Mana. I was once in the same situation as you, so I deeply sympathize with your experience, Miss Sakura Mana."

[……? ]

The other party obviously didn't understand what Fang Zheng meant, but Fang Zheng didn't waste any words. Instead, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the container. Soon, a series of memories flowed into Sakuragi Mana's mind along Fang Zheng's fingers. After a long while, Sakuragi Mana's voice sounded again.

[…You too? ]

However, unlike the cold and distant voice before, this time Sakurami Mana's voice became much softer.

"Yes, it's just as you saw, but the ending of Qiong and I is much better than yours now."

What Fang Zheng showed to Mana Sakuragi was his memories with Qiong in the world of love. It was also because of this that Mana Sakuragi in front of him felt a certain familiarity with Fang Zheng, but... it's hard to be alone!

We are relatives in the same way, but I am trapped here and my brother has run away, and you come and show off your love in front of me!

Brothers and sisters are amazing!

Can't they be brothers and sisters? !

"Don't get excited, Miss Sakuraman Mana, I'm not here to quarrel with you."

Feeling the violent fluctuations around him, Fang Zheng hurriedly tried to comfort them.

"In fact, what I want to say is that I deeply sympathize with your current situation, so I intend to help you."

[…Help me? How are you going to help me? ]

Hearing this, Sakuraman Mana calmed down a little, but she still asked in confusion.

"Do you know what's going on with your brother right now? He was so devastated by the lost Christmas that he has completely forgotten about you. And now, a girl who looks very similar to you suddenly appears beside him..."

[I know... That is my container. It should have been prepared for me...]

"Please calm down. This won't help solve the problem."

Noticing that Sakuragi Mana was getting excited again, Fang Zheng hurried to comfort her again. He now realized that Sakuragi Mana was not only a brother-con, but also a yandere!

What a troublesome property.

"I want to ask you, do you still love Sakura Manju?"

【……certainly……】

"So, do you want him as a person? Or his heart?"

【What's the meaning……?】

"If you are only interested in him as a person, then I can just knock him out and bring him here, and then you can do whatever you want. But if you want him to fall in love with you completely... I have other ways, but I hope to get your help."

[…My assistance? What can I do? ]

"Of course I will tell you what to do. The important thing is that you must understand that although you are Sakuragi Shu's sister, your advantage is not obvious. According to the information I have obtained, Sakuragi Shu does not have that kind of feelings for you... I said please calm down!"

Before he could finish his words, Fang Zheng felt that Sakuraman Mana seemed to be unable to control herself and was about to go berserk again, so he had to stop again.

"If you don't wait for someone to finish speaking, I'll leave!"

【……Feel sorry】

"Okay, let me continue... Actually, this isn't surprising, because according to my investigation, you were all children at the time. Boys mature later than girls in terms of feelings. Generally speaking, when girls start discussing their favorite people, boys are still concerned about playing house with snotty noses."

Having said this, Fang Zheng paused.

"But now, Ying Manshu has grown up, and he has developed a yearning and understanding for the love between men and women..."

[But... he didn't like me, but my container... it was just a container...]

"...Miss, can you let me finish what I'm saying..."

Facing Mana Sakuragi's nagging, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. You are sometimes yandere and sometimes depressed. What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to let me talk properly?

【……】

"Actually, this is a good thing, because a boy's first love will basically end in failure, and at that time, you can take advantage of the opportunity. I will think of a way to create this situation, and you just need to wait for the opportunity and act according to my instructions... Do you understand?"

[…Why are you helping me? ]

"There are two reasons. First, I sympathize with your situation. Considering that everyone has the same problem, I am willing to help. Second, I have some connections with the culprit who released this virus... In short, I also want to use this plan to destroy it..."

【……】

"Want to think about it? We have plenty of time."

No, I have made my decision.

Soon, Sakuraman Mana responded.

[I hate this virus. It is because of it that I have encountered all this, and that Ji has left me and treated me as a monster... I will never forgive all this. I used to think that this was just my retribution and that I was unlucky, but...]

"In fact, you were the chosen one from the beginning."

[…That’s right…]

At this moment, Sakuragi Mana's tone was full of resentment. Obviously, she already knew that this Apocalypse Virus was not naturally occurring... but she could do nothing about it.

But now, things are different.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

Looking at the sleeping Mana Sakuragi in front of him, Fang Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.

At the same time, he also received an answer from Sakuragi Mana.

【Happy cooperation】
