Entering the room, the first thing you see is the window without curtains, facing the sea directly.

Then it is a mess.

The dark room is like being blown by a typhoon, with scattered pieces of paper everywhere.

When Kurotogi Kanye looked carefully, he couldn't help but shudder.

All of them are Shiki.

Whether it's photos or portraits, there are photos of Shiki in school, and some of Shiki in the hospital, and even many of them include him, but no matter what, you can see that the owner of the room has a chilling obsession with Shiki.

Kurotogi Kanye suppressed the chill in his heart and wanted to find more clues. He walked to the desk not far away.

"Stop." Aozaki Touko suddenly spoke. Kurotogi

Kanye stopped obediently, because he had also discovered that in front of him, there was an obvious bulge covered by the scattered Shiki.

It was a person.

Because it was in the darkest corner of the room and didn't move, he didn't notice it at all, and didn't even know if it was alive.

But soon, the person lying in front of him seemed to move slightly, and suddenly stood up slowly as if he came to life.

Once again, a chill surged in the heart of Kurogiri Kan'ya.

Because the man in front of him was dressed completely in the style of the style, with a gray kimono and a red leather jacket, messy hair cut to the shoulders, and a neutral face.

But -

this person is a man.

Just one look at Kurogiri Kan'ya confirmed this, which has far exceeded the ordinary obsession and entered the realm of perversion.

"Kurotogi... Kan'ya." As if he had just woken up from a dream, the man in front of him made a confused sound, but the next moment, he pounced on him like a waking cheetah, holding Kurogiri Kan'ya's shoulders tightly with both hands, and his expression was excited, "Is she back? You have seen her, right!?"

The pupils were a bright red color that was completely different from that of ordinary people, and Kurogiri Kan'ya could even vaguely see the vertical pupils like a beast.

In addition, he had seen this face before and recognized it.

"Bai Chun...senior?" Kurogiri Kan'ya still had some doubts.

"......" It seems that Bai Chun gradually woke up from his excitement because of hearing his own name. He let go of Kuroto Mikiya's shoulder, took two steps back, and showed a somewhat depressed smile, "I didn't expect you to remember my name."

"What's going on?" Kuroto Mikiya felt that he had grasped the truth, but he still had many doubts.

"Isn't it obvious?" Bai Chun slightly shifted his gaze, but still nodded calmly, "As you can see, I am the murderer."

"Why do you do such a thing." Kuroto Mikiya opened his mouth, "Because of Shiki?"

"There is this reason."

Bai Chun seemed to have noticed Aozaki Touko beside him at this time, and his pupils shrank slightly, but soon he did not move his expression.

He raised his foot, walked to the window, and picked up a photo frame with a photo of Shiki on it.

"...... Kuroto, do you know this thing called origin?"

"Never heard of it."

Kuroto Mikiya glanced at Aozaki Touko not far away, and saw that she was just leaning against the door and smoking, and she didn't seem to want to speak.

"The so-called origin, in my understanding, is the instinct of the flesh." Bai Chun covered his chest, his expression seemed to become painful, "And my instinct is 'eating'. After being awakened by that demon, I couldn't help wanting to eat something. At first it was food, then, later..."

His shoulders shrugged, and his voice became choked, as if he was talking about something that he couldn't bear to look at.

"...Senior." Kurotogi Kan'ya gritted his teeth and turned around, "Miss Orange will definitely have a way, right?"

"Don't put high hopes on others casually, Kurotogi." Aozaki Orange blew out a smoke ring, "Well, but I do have a way, someone who can awaken the origin of others... That person, is Araya."

"As expected of Miss Orange who makes Mr. Araya wary." Bai Chun seemed to have found the rhythm of breathing, and his painful expression eased.

"Since there is a way, then..."

Kurotogi Kan'ya was about to say something, and then Bai Chun reached out and grabbed his arm.

"You are still so gentle, the same to everyone." Bai Chun's bloodless face showed a pale smile, "But, rather than being judged as a murderer, I might as well live to the end like this--"

"What?"

Aozaki Touko seemed to realize something, and shouted in surprise, then suddenly took off the cigarette from her mouth and wrote a spell in the air.

But Bai Chun's movements were faster.

Just a slight shake, and the taller Kurotogi Kan was thrown out like a puppet.

Aozaki Touko had to stop the magic she was about to perform and stretched out her hand to catch Kurotogi Kan, but Bai Chun had already kicked her legs like a toad, and the whole person smashed the glass with a force far beyond that of an ordinary person and rushed out.

"Miss Orange."

Kurotogi Kan also shouted as soon as he stopped from the disgusting spinning.

Aozaki Touko picked him up and jumped out of the window. Although it was only the second floor, it fell to the ground lightly as if there was no gravity.

And Bai Chun's back was already moving away at a very fast speed.

"It's useless. I can't catch up." Aozaki Touko said with some regret, "I didn't prepare anything today. I didn't bring many things."

"..." Kurotogi Kan'ya clenched his fists.

This was the second time today that he realized his powerlessness. He

had found the murderer.

But the culprit was also a poor man controlled by others.

"Wait."

Aozaki Touko suddenly made a surprised sound.

Kurotogi Kan'ya thought that things had taken a turn for the better.

In fact, Senior Bai Chun did come back again, running at a much faster speed than when he just escaped, even on all fours, like an antelope being chased by a lion.

"Save me, save me!" Bai Chun cried out in terror.

Like a dazzling star flashing by, the handsome knight arrived with a whistling gust of wind.

Bang!

He simply grabbed Bai Chun's collar and then hit the ground with a crisp sound. This one hit directly caused the killer who had killed dozens of people to collapse on the ground like mud, and he was already unconscious as if his lifeblood had been grabbed.

"Reinhard." Aozaki Orange murmured the name. Kuroto

Kan also recognized him. The person who came was the handsome man who had just seen Shiki's lover.

After picking up senior Bai Chun, the other party saluted them slightly.

His movements were efficient and made people feel like they were in the spring breeze. Kuroto Kan had never seen such a person before. It seemed that only in books or animations could there be such a knight who could not find a single flaw and could not make people feel disgusted.

But he reacted quickly.

"Wait, please wait."

Reinhard, who seemed to be preparing to leave with Bai Chun, stopped.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked with a gentle smile.

Although the Master said not to involve irrelevant people, these two people were also with the Master just now, so they should not be irrelevant people.

"Yes." Looking at the other party's friendly smile, Kurotogi Kanye felt a little ashamed for no reason, but he still said, "Although Senior Bai Chun is a murderer... he is also helpless. Can you... cure his illness first, and then hand him over to the law for trial?"

"..."

There seemed to be some silence at the scene.

Reinhard looked at the man in front of him, who was looking at him expectantly.

This is a gentle person.

Reinhard quickly came to this conclusion. Even though he knew that the criminal in his hand would definitely pay the price for his evil deeds, he still didn't want to give up the hope of curing him.

"I can't do anything about this." Reinhard said with sincere apology.

"Why?"

Kurotogi Kanye didn't understand it very well. He could see that the other party's apology was not false at all.

"Bringing this man back is the order of my Lord." Reinhard said in a firm manner, "I am the sword of my Lord, and I will act in accordance with my Lord's will. If you want to save this man, you should not tell me."

"..." Kurotogi Kan'ya looked at Aozaki Touko for help.

"It's no use looking at me." Aozaki Touko shrugged, "I should be aware that if I fight the knight in front of you, I will probably be killed in one encounter."

"..." Kurotogi Kan'ya bit his lower lip because of the feeling of powerlessness.

Reinhard saluted again, and then his figure turned into a whirlwind and disappeared with Bai Chun.

Only Kurotogi Kan'ya and Aozaki Touko were left at the scene.

"Okay." In the end, it was Aozaki Touko who broke the silence. She stretched her arms and legs, and her perfect figure was immediately revealed. "Finally, I can go back and rest."

"...Ms. Orange." Kuroto Kan'ya did not move, "I want to go to the Ryogi family again."

"...Is it necessary?" Aozaki Touko stopped, turned around, and looked at him quietly, "No matter what the reason is, the fact that Bai Chun is a murderer is certain, and he must die."

"That's right, but...even if he is killed, there are still people behind the scenes, right?" Kuroto Kan didn't know why he couldn't let go.

Maybe it was because Bai Chun's current situation seemed to be related to Shiki.

Maybe it was because he saw something similar to himself in Bai Chun.

Maybe it was because he wanted to catch the culprit behind the scenes.

Maybe it was because this was the last thing that could contact Shiki.

In short, he didn't want to just get rid of everything he knew, get rid of everything in the past, and return to his own world as if nothing had happened.

He hadn't even asked whether the murderer incident three years ago was also related to Bai Chun.

"......" Aozaki Touko looked at Kurogiri Kan'ya quietly, and finally sighed, "Anyway, even if I don't agree, you have to go... This is really the last time, Kurogiri Kan'ya, you still have to return to your own world and live your own life."

After saying that, regardless of Kurogiri Kan'ya's expression, she walked straight to the car.

But she felt regretful in her heart.

Ryougi Shiki was a person who tried to create "emptiness" through the body of a container in order to create extremely versatile humans. They did not realize how dangerous they were doing.

"Empty" also means "nothingness", and they are creating a body that can communicate with the root.

Shiki's destructive impulse did not come from her, nor from Lai Yozhi, but from "nothingness".

If an ordinary person named Kurogiri Kan'ya could restrain Ryougi Shiki with the warmth of an ordinary person, then perhaps he could restrain the extreme danger.

But, if you miss it, you miss it.

From the first time she saw Ryougi Shiki, Aozaki Touko knew that the person standing there was Shiki who had released her nature. She had already tasted the taste of destruction, and she might still be bound by love, but that would definitely not be the love of ordinary people... If this body that could connect to the root could not be hidden under the will of ordinary people, perhaps magicians like Araya Soren who were crazy about the root would come in an endless stream.

However...

Aozaki Touko recalled Reinhard's figure just now.

Although it was just a glimpse, she was sure that the other party had surpassed the field of "magic" and was approaching the scope of "magic". The "momentum" that seemed to crush everything was a level that modern technology could not achieve anyway.

With such a mysterious force guarding the root body, perhaps things were not so bad.

Just thinking about various things, the two came to the path of Ryougi's house again.

As a result, they saw a person in front of the door of Ryougi's house.

Reinhard.

This knight who left a deep impression on Aozaki Touko and Kuroto Kirei was standing at the gate of the Ryogi family with a sword in his hand, with the unconscious Bai Chun tied up next to him.

"Aren't you waiting for us?" Aozaki Orange asked jokingly.

"Because my Lord has rested." Even when Reinhard was talking, his posture was like a statue without any movement.

"Rest..." Kuroto Mikiya didn't know what expression he should use at this time.

He was worried that Senior Bai Chun would be killed directly, so he kept urging Miss Orange to hurry up.

As a result, it seemed that he had to wait until they woke up.

Moreover, he ordered others to do things, but he just rested directly, which sounded just like the president of a large company who was harsh on his subordinates.

"My Lord probably didn't expect me to come back so soon." Reinhard seemed to see what Kuroto Mikiya was thinking, and chuckled, "I think there is no need to wake up my Lord for such a small matter. If you are anxious, I can go and notify him."

"Small matter..."

Kuroto Mikiya has gradually realized what kind of big shot this lover who Shiki has identified is.

He has no obvious feelings about class concepts.

But now, he could clearly feel the envy in his heart, not because of the luxurious enjoyment, but because, with the other party's identity and status, he should be able to better understand Shiki, who grew up in such a family of exorcists.
