Before he traveled through time, Shen He knew that many Marvel fans liked Mystique.
After all, it is said that if you own one, you will have the dream of all women in the world.
This is indeed desirable.
However, Shen He has long since gotten rid of the low-level interest of only looking at appearance.
Which of his servants is not a peerless beauty.
In terms of temperament alone, even Black Widow is better than Mystique.
What's more,
Shen He has not forgotten that Mystique is only a little younger than Charles, and they have known each other since childhood, which means that the Mystique in front of him is actually an old woman in her seventies.
Gradually retracting her momentum.
Mystique also recovered from the feeling of being on the verge of death.
Just at that moment, she really thought she was going to die this time.
She looked at Shen He tremblingly, retreated to the door timidly, and saw that Shen He really had no intention of arresting her, so she turned around and opened the door, only to find a girl standing quietly outside the door.
It was Ryougi Shiki who was supposed to be deceived by her.
"......"
Mystique lowered her head and left Ryougi Shiki's side in her calm gaze.
They met forty years ago.
It's better to say that the first person Ryougi Shiki met was Mystique.
"Why scare her."
After Mystique left, Ryougi Shiki walked in.
"I'm not scaring her." Shen He smiled helplessly, "How should I put it? Seeing her become like you makes me feel a little uncomfortable, as if I saw a low-quality imitation of some treasure."
"Shen He, are you praising me?" Shiki said with a chuckle.
"If you say so, it's so." Shen He also chuckled.
He looked at Ryougi Shiki's delicate facial features in front of him, and her expression that seemed a little relaxed.
It's hard to guess.
Unlike Jeanne d'Arc or Jeanne Noir, whether it's laughter, sadness, anger, all emotions are written on their faces. For Ryougi Shiki, Shen He always finds it difficult to guess what she thinks in her heart.
But because of this, there is always a sense of expectation when you are with her.
For example, now.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Shen He asked.
The reason he asked this was not because he saw something in Ryougi Shiki's expression. He
was more curious about what happened in the three months when she left him.
"If you're asking about those three months, there's nothing to say. They're all boring things." Ryougi Shiki walked to the bed and lay on her back, staring at the ceiling.
This posture.
Shen He discovered for the first time that Shiki still had a little bit of figure.
Because she had been wearing a loose kimono, her figure was hard to figure out, but when she lay down, the loose clothes would stick to the front, and a little bit of obvious bumps would be revealed.
Shiki suddenly turned sideways and no longer lay flat. Her dark eyes glared at Shen He fiercely.
She was very sensitive to sight.
"Suddenly I feel that you are still very feminine." Shen He walked over without caring and sat down next to Ryougi Shiki.
With his current thick skin, he would naturally not do anything because he was discovered.
"I'm so annoyed, what do you care!" Shiki's cheeks were rarely a little red, and then he muttered, "Anyway, I can't compare to Jeanne d'Arc."
"Hahaha." Shen He laughed briskly.
He felt that it was a great honor to see Shiki's expression, even if he was glared at a few more times.
However, Ryougi Shiki felt even more uncomfortable.
She turned over and sat up, guessing that she must look very shy now.
In order to dispel this emotion, Shiki decisively changed the subject.
"Shen He, do you remember that I had multiple personalities?"
"Of course I remember." Shen He seemed to guess that Ryougi Shiki was going to talk about business, and gradually put away his smile, "I still have a certain understanding of you, but didn't the other personality disappear in that accident?"
Shiki has a total of three personalities.
The main personality is actually not the current Shiki, but an existence called "Root Shiki".
Because it can connect to the root of the Type-Moon world, it becomes omniscient and omnipotent, but the world becomes boring because of this, so the main personality chooses to sleep and creates Shiki and Ori.
Ori disappeared completely in the accident that caused Ryougi Shiki to fall asleep.
"Ori did disappear, but I'm not talking about Ori." Shiki said.
"..." Shen He suddenly felt a little nervous.
"After I met Charles, he tried to get into my mind." Shiki finally said the answer that Shen He didn't want to hear, "This awakened my original personality."
"...Root Shiki?"
Shen He exhaled a long breath to dispel the tension in his heart.
"You really know." Ryougi Shiki seemed a little dissatisfied, "But you never told me."
"A main personality that chose to sleep, why should I tell you." Shen He shook his head and asked, "Then what? What did she... do to you?"
"Are you afraid of her?" Shiki suddenly realized Shen He's nervousness.
"Of course." Shen He said without hesitation, "In my heart, Ryougi Shiki has always been just you. Now that a main personality suddenly appears, of course I will be worried."
The so-called root Shiki only appeared in the setting.
Shen He didn't understand her personality.
Although in the setting, she is a combination of Shiki and Zhi, and has the same way of thinking and interests as Shiki and Zhi.
But after all, she is still unfamiliar to Shen He.
"Really..." Ryougi Shiki's eyes flashed a trace of tenderness, "Don't worry, she is me, and your Servant."
"That's what I said." Shen He smiled bitterly.
In his mind, it is really difficult to classify multiple personalities as one person.
He prefers the current Shiki.
"At that time, I didn't know if I could see you again." Ryougi Shiki continued, "After she woke up briefly, she decided to continue sleeping, but she made a suggestion to me, no, it should be said that an idea emerged in my heart."
"What is it?" Shen He asked subconsciously.
"Resurrect Ori." Ryougi Shiki looked at Shen He and said seriously, "People can't stand the loneliness of a person, but in the past, I just wanted to be alone. If I can't see you again, I hope it can be like the past."
"..."
Shen He opened his mouth.
So, it turned out that it was because of the worry of not knowing whether I could see myself again?
Resurrecting Ori is indeed easy to do if the root Shiki wakes up.
The original two personalities of Shiki and Ori were split from the root Shiki.
And...
Shen He knew it very well. Shiki
actually has a deep emotion for Ori, which is why, after losing Ori, Shiki always imitates Ori's style of doing things occasionally.
"Since this is your decision." Shen He finally gave Shi a smile, "Of course I support it, after all, you are all my servants."
"Yeah!"
Hearing Shen He's response, Shi smiled happily.
Shen He stared at her beautiful smile in a daze.
In his impression, this was the first time that Shi smiled so happily.
How should I put it.
I was happy for her, but also a little disappointed. In the end, I still couldn't fill the hole in her heart left by Zhi's death.
"In that case, Zhi is back now." Shen He cheered up and was a little curious, "How do you usually arrange who is in charge of this body?"
"The multiple personalities of the Yomiuri family are different from ordinary ones." Shi explained patiently, "The existence of the second personality is more of an auxiliary. The Yomiuri family believes that a person's talent is limited by his personality, and multiple personalities can make people reach the peak in different fields. I am the personality with absolute dominance, and Zhi is the second personality that bears my other side."
"For example, the impulse to kill?" Shen He raised his eyebrows.
Combined with the information he knew, he had roughly understood.
Although Shi no longer avoided killing.
But he still suppressed his urge to kill, and originally, the task of bearing this urge was for Zhi.
This is equivalent to a person handing over something he is unwilling to do to another person who is willing to do it.
The Yoji family believes that this can make people stronger.
But in fact, Ryougi Shiki is the most successful one among the multiple personalities of the Yoji family for generations, because her two personalities accept each other, smoothly integrate into common sense, and even have deep feelings for each other-this perfect state lasted until it was broken by the approach of Kuroto Kan'ya.
"Do you want to meet Zhi?" Ryougi Shiki
looked a little nervous.
"Now?" Shen He also began to get nervous.
To be honest, he never thought that one day he would be able to meet Zhi who only existed in his memory.
Although Ryougi Shiki imitated Zhi's words and deeds several times, it was just imitation.
In the end, Shen He nodded.
Since it has come to this point, they will meet sooner or later.
Ryougi Shiki blinked and said nothing.
But she suddenly moved closer, so close that Shen He could even feel the breath exhaled from her nose.
"What, what's wrong?"
Shen He stepped back subconsciously, his heartbeat speeding up.
"G--So you blush when I get close to you." Shi tilted his head, a smile on his lips, "You obviously have such a beautiful wife."
"You are..." Shen He also reacted, "Zhi?"
"Yes." Zhi stepped back, sat cross-legged on the bed, and admitted it openly, "You don't want me to say that it's our first meeting, right? I have all of Shi's memories of you."
"This is really... incredible."
Shen He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhi in front of him.
There was no sense of disobedience.
Unlike the Mystique who looked fake at first glance, Zhi in front of him had obviously changed in character, behavior, and language, but it didn't seem to be the slightest sense of disobedience, just like Shi who became lively and cheerful.
"Right, right." Zhi suddenly grabbed Shen He's arm, as if he was worried that he would run away, "I have a question to ask you."
"Ask."
Shen He also became interested.
How should I put it? Compared to Shiki who rarely expresses affection, Zhi in front of him is more like someone who has been with him for a long time.
"What does 'in and out of the root' mean?" Zhi blinked and nudged Shen He with his shoulder.
"..."
If Shen He was drinking water at this time, he would definitely spit it out.
"How do you know this word?" He couldn't help but raise his voice.
In and out of the root...
No, the picture represented by this word is too pornographic!
"When holding hands during the day." Zhi grabbed Shen He's palm with a half-smile on his face, "I borrowed a little power from the root to protect your consciousness from Charles's exploration, but I accidentally saw it."
Accidentally?
Who are you kidding!
"Well, that was just a joke on the Internet in the past." Shen He actually stuttered a little.
This is really too embarrassing!
Every man will have mental derailment, but this kind of fantasy restricted by a sense of responsibility is known by the person concerned, which is simply too embarrassing.
"Hehe, I don't have any objection." Zhi chuckled twice, patted Shen He's shoulder with his other hand, and suddenly sighed, "If I had known I would meet you, I wouldn't have to die at that time."
"What do you mean?" Shen He was stunned.
"You should know about Shiki's past." Zhi let go of Shen He and spread his hands, "If Shiki wants to be with Kuroto Mikiya as an ordinary person, I, as a murderer, can't exist, so I have to disappear."
"..."
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Shen He recalled the plot. At that time, Shiki mistakenly thought that Zhi had lost control and killed someone, and wanted to refuse Kuroto Mikiya's approach.
Therefore, in that accident, Zhi chose to die by himself.
In order to protect the happiness of Ryougi Shiki.
"Are you a little moved?" Zhi blinked at Shen He again.
"A little." Shen He responded with a smile.
He felt that he had fallen in love with this personality called Zhi.
"So." Zhi suddenly moved closer again, even leaning against Shen He's arms, her dark eyes staring at him expectantly, "Don't hate me just because you like Shiki."
"..."
Shen He opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.
Zhi is the same as Shiki in that they always do unexpected things.
"I think, if it were you." There was a hint of sadness in the depths of Zhi's eyes, "You should like me."
Killing is Zhi's first emotion for all things.
This is not because she likes killing.
It's because she only knows how to kill.
From the beginning, she was born to kill. She has always taken all the killing training on behalf of Shiki, and has gradually imprinted the destructive impulse on her instinct.
Therefore, Kuroto Kan'ya, who has the morality of ordinary people and insists on not killing, will never accept her personality.
So, at that time, even if she was not the one who killed, she did not explain to Shiki and Kuroto Kan'ya.
As long as she would be feared and hated.
It doesn't matter whether it's her or not.
"...Don't worry."
Shen He, who understood Zhi's feelings, reached out his hand and hugged her very lightly.
There was no force, and his heartbeat did not speed up.
This represented his attitude.
So what if she was a murderer? At this moment, Shen He had accepted the existence of Zhi.
"You can be a little harder." Zhi said briskly in Shen He's ear, "I'll tell you a secret secretly. In fact, Shishi is a little inferior in front of Jeanne. After all, Jeanne has only liked you from the beginning, and Shishi also had some feelings for Kuroto Kane in the past."
"Uh." Shen He was speechless.
Who living in the 21st century would care about this kind of relationship that is not even an ex-boyfriend?
But with Shishi's personality...
it's not certain whether he really cares about this. After all, the education of the Ryogi family is more traditional, and Shishi lacks common sense to a certain extent.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say." Zhi suddenly pushed Shen He away and stretched. "If I continue, Shi will be unhappy when she wakes up. No, what I've said now may be enough to make her unhappy."
"When one of you is awake, is the other asleep?" Shen He was a little curious.
"Yes, if the personality is not out of control, when you wake up, you will automatically get all the memories of the other person during the sleep period." Zhi nodded and yawned. "My resurrection this time is equivalent to sleeping for a long, long time, but the mental state is determined by the body, so I'm a little sleepy now. Shi's biological clock is as punctual as always."
"Then you can go back." Shen He opened the door of the castle.
"No, I'm so sleepy." Zhi lay down directly, hugged a quilt, and murmured, "I don't pick beds..."
Then only the faint sound of breathing remained.
It seems that Zhi does not have the problem of picking beds like Shi.
That's right.
Since it is a secondary personality cultivated as a killing tool, if it still picks beds, it would be too unprofessional.
