"Say no, Nanyun teacher left us just like that?! "

"The villains are extremely powerful, and have an overwhelming advantage in both force and intelligence."

"It's an honorable defeat, but it's still a pity."

"The stronger the original is, the stronger its shadow will be."

"Indeed, if Shiori's consciousness had taken the lead, perhaps we would still be safe now."

"Peaceful coexistence is almost impossible. The grudge between the protagonist and the shadow is too deep."

……

In the screen——

Shinpei Ajiro watched Nanfang Hizuru disappear before his eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably.

[No... How could it be... Nanyun-sensei!!]

The mature, calm, rational and wise Nanfang Hizuru is not only Shinpei's savior, but also his partner in fighting side by side.

However, after the shadow man touched it, it dissipated so easily.

Without giving Shinpei time to wallow in his sorrow, Hata quickly turned his attention to Shadow Ushio.

[Now, it's time to deal with this defective product.]

Shinpei Amishiro was pinned to the ground by the shadow man. Hearing about Hatano's plan, he was filled with despair. "No, stop it... If you want revenge, come after me! Hatano! Don't you hate me? ! Then kill me!"

Bodao rejected him with a smile: [What a wild idea! Rihe just told you to cherish your life, why are you giving up so easily now?]

She slowly walked towards the motionless Shadow Tide, squatted down, and lightly touched the other's shadow.

[Shinpei… I’m sorry.] Shadow Ushio couldn’t stop crying. She was deeply saddened by the death of Nanfang Hizuru, but she was also indignant at her own powerlessness. The separation of life and death came so swiftly, just like the sudden death of the prototype Kofun Ushio, who didn’t even give her a chance to say goodbye.

[Don't apologize... It's all these guys' fault! Chao, the most incompetent person... is me!!]

Shinpei Amishiro's heart was filled with grief and self-blame, but he could only roar helplessly.

[It's really ugly to see you crying.] Shadow Shinpei spoke coldly, completely different from Shinpei.

Bodao's tender arms gently stroked Shadow Tide's body, and his slender fingertips emitted a web-like pattern that soon covered the entire shadow area. Shadow Tide's body began to be eroded, his skin became blurred, and a large amount of noise was flickering and jumping.

A look of pain appeared on Shadow Chao's face.

In a trance, some scattered memories merged into her consciousness.

In the hazy vision...

She saw a broad back, sitting alone under a big tree. The man was at the edge of the island, seemingly gazing at the sunset in the distance sinking into the sea level.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in my ears:

〔Is Big Brother Lost?〕

This is...Shiori Kobayakawa's voice!

The man turned his head in confusion and seemed to say something.

As soon as Shadow Chao saw the pair of black-framed glasses, he immediately recognized that this was the prototype of Shadow Beino.

The tourist had a brief exchange with Shiori, but could only hear Shiori's voice.

A series of voice messages flashed through Shadow Tide's mind quickly -

[…Light? I don’t have a camera with me, it’s not a prank.]

[…Brother, you came to the island for sightseeing after all, but this place is not interesting at all. The shrine should be more fun.]

[…Me? Um…yeah, why am I here? It’s so strange, I remember I was having dinner with my parents just now.]

[…My home is at the intersection ahead…Thank you, big brother, for taking me here.]

Her voice became desperate: [… Dad… Mom… died? No, it’s impossible… It must be fake!! Someone come and save me…]

Shadow Mio, who was far away at the other end, was suddenly startled. She had just scratched Shadow Shio's arm, but after receiving the new order, she decisively gave up her current target and evacuated from Ajiro Shinpei's room.

Shiori was sobbing: […I have become a monster, and so have my parents… Otherwise, how can I hide in the shadows…Big brother, what should I do?]

[…This is a dream.]

Shiori's voice gradually became blurred, and many of her words could not be recognized.

Then, the previous cry of grief came to an abrupt end, and Shiori's tone changed, becoming unusually calm.

[Brother Shinpei and sister Mio, why do you call me mother? My name is Shiori Kobayakawa, no nicknames allowed!]

[Food? Big brother, that's not it!]

[In my dream, I must be very powerful, big brother... this is for you!]

[Uh——It looks weird, dark and soft, haha, big brother, please don’t be disgusted, I’ll draw a cuter pattern.]

Under the night sky, the heavy rain had just stopped, washing the road home, leaving puddles of varying sizes on the ground.

Shiori held the tourist's hand with one hand and Shadow Shinpei's with the other, while Shadow Mio followed beside her.

[Tomorrow is the summer festival. I feel a little hungry. Big brother, can you buy me some takoyaki when the time comes? Yeah! That's great!]

〔Big brother, it's a deal.〕

A bullet flew across the night sky and hit the ground with a bang.

〔Mio-sister! !〕

[…Stop it all!!]

[It hurts so much, it hurts so much... Is the dream about to end?]

[But it’s so sad, the bad guys took my elder brother away.]

The noise intensified until it disappeared in a second.

[Eh? This is... my home?]

[Dad is watching TV and Mom is cooking. Great! It was just a dream...]

[But, something seems wrong... Why do I still have super powers?]

[The bad guys are coming! Where is the big brother?]

[I should be able to summon it, so big brother, please come out quickly.]

A group of strange humanoid creatures, as black as ink, appeared from behind her and soon transformed into a concrete human form.

Thus, Shadow Beinuo was born.

However, the moment he regained consciousness, Shadow Beinuo silently picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed himself in the heart.

[Big brother?!]

Blood flowed out, but turned into noise and gradually disappeared, and the previous wounds were also healing rapidly.

[Hmm? This is not right, I am not dead.] Shadow Beinuo thought for a while and suddenly realized something, [It turns out that the shadow is my real body...]

Just as he bent down to gather strength and prepared to smash his own shadow, Shiori shouted:

[No death! !]

The moment the fist was about to touch the shadow, Shadow Beinuo received the order and forcibly stopped the self-destructive behavior.

[Big Brother... No, you are not him, so leave here! Leave my house!]

Shadow Kitano obediently walked out of the living room of the Kobayakawa family.

[What on earth is this dream about? Sister Mio and Brother Shinpei, are they still there?]

[…Dad! Get out of the way!]

[No, no! No! It's the same nightmare again!]

……

[It hurts so much, I can’t open my eyes, I can’t see anything.]

[Ah, but I can feel the direction of Big Brother, it seems that I can reach you with my hand, so you are there...]

[It would be great if we could meet again...]

sizzle-

Shiori's voice disappeared completely.

Then, a cold and ruthless voice replaced hers, and she uttered a few words in a low tone:

[It's boring. Die.]

After sorting out this information, Yingzichao finally realized that Bodao had been lying all along!

Last week, the person who gave the final order was Bo Dao!!

The so-called full state is also fake! The day before the summer festival, Shiori felt very hungry, which means that Hata did not get enough food from the previous reincarnation.

So once the summer festival comes, how could she not eat? !

In reality, the process of shadow tide erosion only took a few seconds.

After learning the truth, she was furious, clenched her teeth, and roared: "Bodao! I will never forgive you for what you did! !"

There was a flash of surprise in Bodao's eyes, because the erosion she caused had stagnated, and there was even a sign of reversing.

[Hehehe!! So that's how it is, my "left eye" is you!!]

When Shadow Tide heard this, he suddenly recalled the past, and those damaged memories emerged on their own accord.

14 years ago, Hatano accidentally killed Minami Ryunosuke. Unable to bear such a cruel act, her "left eye" suddenly popped out of her eye socket. Since then, Hatano has been looking for her "left eye".

Key pieces of information emerged in Shadow Tide's mind.

At such a critical moment, she quickly realized that she possessed abilities that rivaled those of Hata, and just like when she browsed through Shiori's memory fragments just now, the shadow's abilities required self-awakening.

If Bodao can erode her, then she can also erode the other party in return!

[Bodao! Don't underestimate me! ! ! ]

The body of Shadow Tide trembled violently, and a bright line appeared in the dark shadow. The line, like golden blood vessels, began to spread, extending towards the direction of Bodao in an unstoppable manner.

[Damn it... You don't want to surrender? Then go die!!]

Seeing the situation gradually reversed, Bodao quickly adjusted his strategy from suppression to deletion!

To her, an eye that particularly rejects her is undoubtedly a bottle of poison. It can neither merge with each other nor obey her orders, so she might as well destroy it!

The black lines spread wildly, as if they were going to devour the other party.

Yingzichao frowned, her body was covered with unusual two-colored lines, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, gold and black, intertwining with each other, but the stalemate remained.

This is not a solution. Shadow Tide cannot be trapped by the long spikes forever, which is tantamount to waiting for death.

If she could remove those three nails... no, if she could just remove one, she would be free!

As for the method, she has found it!

Shadow Tide mobilized a small part of his consciousness during the confrontation, exploring the locations of the surrounding shadow people and trying to establish contact with them.

Just like Shiori did, use her authority as the Hiruko God to give them orders!

The girl's eyes moved slightly, and she sensed the target invisibly.

[Found it! Unlock it for me! !]

Shadow Beinuo was startled, as if he heard Shadow Chao's voice.

All the nails he projected actually disappeared in the next second.

Because of the three replica nails in Shadow Beinuo's hand, the long nails that originally restricted Shadow Tide all turned into noise points and dispersed.

But Shadow Tide's distraction gave Bo Dao an opportunity to remove most of her legs.

Unfortunately, before Bodao could be happy, he found that Shadow Chao had broken free from his restraints and was moving his arms.

And she was holding the weapon tightly in her hand all the time - a revolver!

Shadow Tide is very close to Bodao, so the muzzle of the gun can easily aim at the shadow under Bodao's feet.

Pull the trigger!

Bang! !

The bullet shot out and instantly hit Bo Dao's body!

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!] Bodao showed a look of pain, but this little damage was not enough to make her disappear.

Shadow Chao was also very aware of this, so she quickly hid in the shadow and slid towards Ajiro Shinpei. As long as she killed Shadow Shinpei, she could save the other person.

However, it is counterproductive.

Bo Dao quickly issued an order: [Kill her! !]

Shadow Bennuo burst out with astonishing speed again and instantly closed the distance.

Seeing the powerful enemy approaching, Yingzichao raised his pistol almost reflexively and was about to fire the second shot.

But Shadow Beinuo had anticipated this and slapped out a palm, hitting the opponent's wrist.

The revolver was impacted and the muzzle was forced to deflect.

Bang!

The bullet missed and hit the roadside wall.

The next second, Shadow Beinuo made a skilled disarming motion, snatched the opponent's revolver, adjusted the shooting direction, and aimed at Shadow Chao's body.

It all happened too fast, and Shadow Chao was not familiar with sending commands, so he didn't have time to order Shadow Beinuo to stop.

Flames burst out from the muzzle for the third time!

Hit Shadow Tide's body accurately and without error.

But she didn't have the tenacious vitality like Bo Dao, this shot...

Shadow Tide is doomed to die!

A second before parting, she stretched out her hand in the direction of Amishiro Shinpei.

The white palm seemed to shine with the same light as her golden hair, but the golden light was fleeting and dissipated along with Shadow Tide's body.

That dazzling light.

In front of Amishiro Shinpei's eyes... it completely disappeared.
