Just as Yanmu Qiulong said, Ryougi Shiki's parents were already waiting in the living room.

There was no excitement at all.

It was as if the one who came back was not their daughter who had been in a coma for two years and missing for a year, but an ordinary guest from outside. They just knelt on the tatami facing them, with a small tea table placed between them.

Shi pulled Shen He, took off his shoes, and walked in.

"Father, I'm back."

It was a very simple sentence, and she said it while standing. Even when Shen He wanted to kneel down to follow the local customs, she pulled him back.

The relationship between this father and daughter was really cold.

"Since you have chosen a husband, then prepare to inherit the Ryougi family." Shiki's father just glanced at Shen He calmly, and then said calmly.

The Ryougi family has actually declined by this generation.

The only dual-personality exorcist in the entire family is Ryougi Shiki. If she had disappeared, it would be fine, but since she is back, the position of the future head of the family can only be hers.

It doesn't matter who the husband is, or whether he is an ordinary person, because she will marry into the family anyway.

"I will inherit the Yoji family." Yoji Shiki also had a calm expression, "But, my husband's family is powerful."

"Oh?"

Her father seemed a little surprised and looked at Shen He again.

They have been exorcists for hundreds of years and have strict rules, which even far exceed the so-called family friendship.

Shi is not very clear about the common sense of ordinary people, but she is very clear about this family rule.

She is the heir of the Yoji family. In this status, she still said the words "my husband's family is powerful", which means that Shen He's status and power are not only unable to marry into the family, but even to the point where the entire Yoji family can become a vassal.

"Don't know how to call you?"

The head of the Yoji family looked at Shen He carefully and stood up.

He is not Japanese.

His standing posture is very casual, and it seems that he has not practiced martial arts since he was a child, but it can also be seen that the other party is carefully restraining his momentum.

"Shen He, I am Chinese."

Shen He is still a little bit unaccustomed to this style of father-in-law and son-in-law meeting, mainly because Shi's palm has been pulling her.

Even if he doesn't know much about the etiquette here, he knows that this is not in line with etiquette.

"Shiki is the only heir of the Yoji family." The brows of the head of the Yoji family wrinkled slightly.

Because Shen He's self-introduction did not specify his identity or which force he came from.

If it is a private organization or a society, no matter how powerful it is, the Yoji family cannot be a vassal.

Because there is no continuity.

Only families or forces with continuity are qualified to make the Yoji family a vassal.

"......I know."

Shen He sighed in his heart. Although he did not understand the rules of these exorcist families, he also knew the difficulty of marrying the only heir of a family without marrying into the family.

No wonder Ryougi Shiki said no gifts just now.

All he wants is strength.

Then the question is, how can I let Shiki's father understand my strength in a fresh and refined way? I can't just open the castle gate here, that would show off too much oppression.

With...

Shen He suddenly thought of a prop. He stretched out his hand, and a heavy book that was glittering and luxurious and incomparable quietly floated in the palm of his hand, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The cover of this book was inlaid with seven gems and mysterious patterns. Just looking at it seemed as if a wonderful feeling surged into the heart.

This book records the truth of the world.

Such a feeling suddenly flashed through the mind of the head of the Liangyi family, which made him yearn and desire in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by his strong willpower.

He did not have the talent to be an exorcist, so he could only rely on his firm heart to support the Liangyi family from collapsing.

"It records countless powerful magic, secrets, and alchemy." Shen He did not move, but the book opened automatically.

The pages revealed inside were blank, but then, lines of handwriting slowly emerged. The head of the Liangyi family just took a look, and the shock in his heart was unparalleled, because it recorded the multiple personality secrets of the Liangyi family.

One of the world-class props from the Overlord world, the nameless spell book, has the function of recording all the magic in the world.

Even newly created magic will appear on it. It is more like an imprint of the world's rules than a record.

After the ability is solidified, it will be upgraded to record all the magic in the world no matter which world it is taken.

Unfortunately, magic has the limitations of the world.

Unless the ability of the servant itself is solidified, even if it is learned, most of it can only be used in its own world.

However...

it is just right to use it in this situation now.

"You can choose from it, enough to make the Liangyi family a top exorcist family, as a betrothal gift for me to marry Liangyi Shiki." Shen He said calmly.

It gave a strong impression, but did not completely reveal all his cards, leaving enough mystery.

"Mr. Shen... As the night deepens, please rest in my humble home for a night. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." The head of the Liangyi family struggled to move his eyes away from the book that seemed to have infinite charm, "Qiu Long, take the distinguished guest to rest first."

"Yes." Yanmu Qiu Long nodded respectfully, and then signaled Shen He.

Shen He glanced at Liang Yi Shiji, and seeing that she gave him a reassuring look, he also left.

After the sound of his footsteps completely disappeared, the head of the Liang Yi family knelt down again, and Liang Yi Shiji did the same.

The scene fell into silence.

The head of the Liang Yi family was observing Liang Yi Shiji, mainly to discern her changes and whether she was controlled by someone.

"You... can't explain the origins of this husband's family?" The head of the Liang Yi family found nothing in the end.

"It's not that we can't." Liang Yi Shiji said calmly, "It's just that the level is too high. It would be a bad thing if they knew it."

"......" The head of the Liangyi family was silent for a long time again, and finally said, "Let me see Zhi."

The memory and temperament can be changed, but the dual personality is a secretary unique to the Liangyi family.

Shi nodded gently.

In just a moment, her temperament changed and became sharp.

"Father." Zhi received Shi's memory and chuckled, "If there is nothing to worry about, what is there in the Liangyi family that is worth peeping at now, not to mention..."

She waved her fingers lightly, and the air made a shrill wail, and a blade that seemed to be materialized was formed. The head of the Liangyi family's hair stood up intuitively, as if his soul was about to be cut open.

After everything returned to calm, he couldn't help but close his eyes and sweat.

However, he finally felt relieved in his heart.

Even his own daughter has such strength. If the other party wants to spy on the Liangyi family, there is no need to go through so much trouble. In the depths of this world, it is the law of the jungle after all.

"I didn't expect that my Liangyi family would have such an opportunity when it has declined to this point." Even the head of the Liangyi family, who is as dead as a heart, felt a little emotional at this time.

She wasn't that excited.

It's not a good thing to be a vassal of a big power. It's a risk. Otherwise, they would have thought of sending Ryougi Shiki to those big families.

But in this situation, it would be a disaster if they refused.

Zhi and Shiki both understood their father's thoughts and the coldness in the so-called exorcist family, so she didn't want to come back.

"Then, I'll go to rest too."

Ryougi Zhi stood up and looked at her mother at last.

From beginning to end, her mother didn't say a word. She sat here as if she was just a decoration called the mistress of the Ryougi family.

But Zhi could clearly see the emotions in her eyes that she tried hard to hide.

Ha, the Ryougi family.

Zhi laughed in her heart as if he was mocking, and then turned and left.

For her mother, neither Zhi nor Shiki had any feelings.

They were special from the moment they were born.

So it was natural that they were always alone and isolated by the surroundings, but because of each other's existence, they were not so lonely.

The first person who made her realize the word "others" was her grandfather, who also had different personalities but fell into confusion and lost his mind because of denying himself.

The last words of her grandfather before his death made her feel the warmth of being cared for for the first time.

Then she met Kurodori Kan'ya.

Then, she became Shen He's servant now.

Zhi thought so in her mind, and walked towards Shen He in this familiar and emotionless home, and even her steps seemed to become a little more cheerful.

She went directly to Shen He's room and found that Shen He was sitting there flipping through the spell book in his hand.

"Are you choosing a betrothal gift?"

"Yeah." Shen He responded subconsciously, then reacted and looked up and asked, "Zhi?"

"That's right." Zhi came directly to Shen He and sat down close to him. It seemed that it was not enough, so she stretched out her hand and hugged his arm tightly, "There is nothing to care about in this family. Just pick some people who can keep the Yoji family going."

"That's what you said..." Shen He shook his head helplessly.

The style of the Liangyi family is indeed rare and cold, but how can a family that breeds a murderer be normal? The key is to love the house and the dog. For the current Shen He, giving some things is nothing.

He closed the book in his hand and turned his head to look at Zhi's hand holding his arm.

"You don't come out much?" Shen He suddenly realized this.

"What can I do? The control of switching personalities is in Shi's hands." Zhi's tone sounded a little dissatisfied, "My return is completely redundant. The void left by Shi without me has been filled by you. If it weren't for those three months, she would have been completely accustomed to the days without me."

As she said, in the past, when Shi was alone, he would talk to her.

But now, he won't.

Because Shi is no longer like in the past, he can only rely on her to relieve his loneliness.

"Take your time." Shen He grabbed Zhi's hand with a smile, "After meeting your parents, I suddenly feel fortunate that you have a dual personality. At least you won't become like that."

Being in such a family that cultivates dual personalities as a family secret, but being just an ordinary person with a single personality, the pressure is almost erasing the "self" of the head of Liangyi.

It's better to be an extraordinary person in an extraordinary family.

"Let's go." Zhi raised her eyes and suddenly pulled Shen He to stand up, "I'll take you to this house and tell you about our childhood."

"Okay." Shen He was also a little interested.

It's rare to take Shi back to my hometown, so I have to know more about her.

......

Just when Shen He and Shi were strolling around, on the other side, Kuroto Kan, who received a call from his uncle, also came to Aozaki Orange's studio.

It is more like a storage room than a studio. There are seven or eight old TV screens in the middle. Apart from that, almost every open space is filled with boxes or various sundries. There is no electric light, and Orange, who has long red hair and wears an orange coat, is lying on a desk in the middle of a pile of sundries.

"Ms. Orange, Shiki is back." The first words of Kuroto Mikiya after entering the room,

"Isn't this a good thing?" Aozaki Orange raised one eyebrow and smiled maliciously, "Why, are you a little upset because you realized that she didn't look for you the first time after she came back?"

"It's not because of this at all." Kuroto Mikiya protested, but he was also used to Miss Orange's unreliable words, and adjusted his glasses, "Ms. Orange, do you know about the recent murder case?"

"Of course..." Aozaki Orange lowered her glasses, and her tone suddenly became cold, "You have been investigating such dangerous things during this period of time."

"Well, that's because my uncle asked me to..." Kuroto Mikiya's voice became smaller and smaller.

He also knew that such a reason was not convincing. In fact, it was because he got the news that a witness saw the murderer as a woman wearing a kimono with a red vest on the outside.

"Forget it, you came here so late, it should not be the Shiki who said she was back, but the murderer."

"No!" Before Chengzi finished speaking, Kurotogi Kan answered first, "The one who met Shiki was my uncle, and just ten minutes before he met her, another murder case occurred. He wanted to wash away that level of blood smell in just ten minutes. The reasoning has ruled out Shiki's suspicion."

"Isn't there still a possibility of a team committing the crime?" Aozaki Chengzi stood up and picked up the orange bag beside her, "Let's go."

"Where to?" Kurotogi Kan was also stunned.

"Go to the Ryogi family and meet the person you have been thinking about day and night." After Aozaki Chengzi took off her glasses, her eyes became as sharp as her tone, "The reason is easy to find. The Ryogi family once entrusted me to find the traces of Ryogi Shiki. Now that she is back, I should go and see her for both emotional and logical reasons."

"It's not appropriate for me to go too." Kurotogi Kan also hesitated a little.

"Do you think I don't know there's a man following Ryougi Shiki?" Aozaki Touko put on her glasses again, with a hint of helplessness behind the lenses, "If Ryougi Shiki is being controlled by someone, don't regret it if you don't go."

"Got it." Kuroto Mikiya's mood became a little nervous.

When he heard his uncle say that Shiki was followed by a man who seemed to be close to him, he didn't have any special feelings, he was just happy for Shiki's return.

But now, hearing Miss Touko say that Shiki might be controlled,

he suddenly became nervous.
