December 2017, 12 passed seemingly peacefully amidst the bells.

Mori Ogai received a red scarf full of caring and crazy hints of falling away, and Saya also received a gift that belonged to her.

In addition to the ruby ​​necklace that was coveted by her but finally turned around and came to her hand again, Mori Ougai gave her another gift that caused a storm in her heart.

"A set of "Batman" comics." Mori Ogai picked up a very heavy box, which was heavily filled with comic books, "You don't seem to have read many works related to American superheroes, so I picked one A set of "Batman", I guess you will like it."

Sha Ye quickly put the ruby ​​necklace aside, and picked up the manga with both hands: "I really haven't read "Batman", why did Dr. Sen choose a superhero?"

"Oh, it's probably because of some characteristics of the Batman guy." Mori Ogai carefully confirmed that Saya had held it firmly before letting go, "Batman is a dark knight with dual identities, trying his best to hide his identity to protect What's wrong with his city——Shaye, your complexion is so bad, are you feeling unwell?"

Sha Ye let out a dry laugh, and the alarm in her brain continued to sound sharply, like an electric car that had been kicked by someone, "Did toot, toot, toot, toot, blah, blah, blah." Analyze the intention of Mori Ogai to give her "Batman".

Known: Batman is the president of the Wayne Corporation by day and the Dark Knight of Gotham by night

Also known: Yokohama Kamen is an accountant of the Port Mafia during the day, and Yokohama's night patrol Kamen Rider at night

Q: Did Mori Ogai notice something?

"Don't you like it?" Mori Ogai's astute person immediately grasped the key point of Saya's emotional changes, "You don't like superhero comics?"

"Ah, um..." Sha Ye was a little confused and didn't know what to say, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I haven't seen it much before..."

Osamu Dazai and Zhongya shared the presents they received respectively. Zhongya received a set of exercise books from someone who did not know who gave them. He grabbed the set of books and searched for possible gift givers throughout the room. Then the two children found the Christmas tree Saya holding the manga next to her at a loss.

"Sha Ye! I also have something to give you!"

They skillfully surrounded Saya from left to right. Osamu Dazai glanced at Mori Ogai and asked with his eyes: What did you do just now?

Mori Ogai frowned slightly: He didn't do anything.

Osamu Dazai shook his head slightly towards Saya: Why does Saya look unhappy?

Mori Ogai pondered: Could it be that she likes Marvel more than DC?

Seeing the opportunity, Fukuzawa Yukichi also walked over with his gift box. He glanced at Mori Ogai who was in deep thought. He didn't say a word to the black-haired doctor, but his steps were lighter, and his back moved involuntarily. Stand tall.

Tell you to try to figure out what Sha Ye is thinking, step on the thunder!

Ogai Mori: What does the look in the eyes of a single old cat slave mean? !

The leader, Zai, sat motionless on the sofa and had a panoramic view of the subtle Shura field in the living room. He smiled and looked away, looking out of the window where the snow began to fall.

This world seems to be a wonderful world with tender flowers blooming on the background of tragedy.

-------------------------------------

Christmas on December 12th came under a blanket of silver snow.

Sha Ye didn't sleep well, she always felt that the set of "Batman" had other meanings, the processor was still calling the memory analysis intermittently even in the middle of the night, like a computer that was constantly heating and buzzing, which made people feel uncomfortable. Miss Man is troubled.

After a night of repeated waking up and light sleep, Saya still got up early in the morning according to her own body's internal alarm clock.The house was quiet, neither the two children nor the boarding house Li Xiang and the leader Zai woke up.Sha Ye gently walked back and forth in the house like a ghost, washing up, preparing breakfast, checking the unread messages accumulated in the phone, and replying to friends...

That's right, my friends.

Saya put on a sweater. Although the artificial lady is a little slow to feel the temperature, the low temperature can also cause damage to the body.She wandered gently into the courtyard, the winter morning was still bright, the sun had not risen, and there were still a few twinkling morning stars hanging in the sky.Stepping on the thin, crunching snow, she read one by one the few messages that really cheered her up.

Koyo Ozaki doesn't like Christmas. For a traditional Japanese beauty like her, December 12th is just an ordinary day.But she still sent a blessing message to Sha Ye, and asked her if she had any plans for going out and shopping.

No travel plans today.Saya replied truthfully, but Hongye didn't seem to get up yet, so she didn't reply immediately, so Saya began to read the messages sent by other people.

In addition to Hongye, Saya's other two friends who can be called friends are Wujo Wu and Xia Youjie who met in the "Reality Event".I don't know why, the two of them sent Saya congratulatory text messages to Saya in a short time. He shared a photo of himself in Germany, said that he was looking for "Einzbern Castle", and then unilaterally promised to send her a postcard from Berlin.

"It seems that everyone has their own things to do." Saya felt that there was nothing wrong with this. "As for Tokyo... let's go and play with Mr. Gojo next time when we have a chance."

The streets are quiet, it is the last hour of night before dawn that is still deep.Sha Ye looked around her small courtyard in the cold wind, and silently delineated an area in her heart where she would build a snowman with the children in the morning. She gathered up her sweater and prepared to go into the house for another little sleep. .

"Om, hum—"

The phone vibrated, and Sha Ye lowered her head in surprise, she didn't expect someone to call so early.There is no note on the caller ID, it is an unfamiliar number.Sha Ye pressed the green answer button, brought the phone to her ear, and asked softly, "How are you?"

Within two or three seconds, Saya didn't get a response, but another person's breathing came from the receiver.She asked again with some doubts: "May I ask who you are?"

"It's the first time we've talked, sister." Said softly on the other side, "Your voice is exactly what I deduced, I'm really happy."

Sha Ye's eyes suddenly changed.

"Hina." She whispered a name, "What are you calling me for? Where are you?"

"Of course I'm here to wish my sister a happy holiday. But I didn't expect you to know my name, I'm even happier!" The girl whose voice was [-]% to [-]% similar to Sha Ye's voice sounded really high-spirited, "I'm here now Yokohama, you are in the same city as my sister! Maybe we will run into each other on a certain street, don’t you think it’s a wonderful thing?”

Not at all fantastic.

Saya tried her best to suppress the buzzing processor, and negative emotions seemed to overflow from her head at this moment: "What did you come to Yokohama to see me for?"

"Of course it's for family reunion. You are the only family member I have in this world. Shouldn't I come?" Hina's voice gradually changed, "But after a few days of investigation, it seems that sister, you are here. Well done, not only made up a surname for myself, but also found a job, trying to blend into human society..."

"What hurts me the most is that you seem to have a new family."

Sha Ye looked at the still dark and deep skyline, and asked in a cold tone that she had never had before: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Of course it matters, because you are not human at all, you are an artificial human, and only I can be called your relative! You won't really be brainwashed by that guy Glacier's theory, thinking that you can become a human, right? ?That guy is an idealistic idiot. He bought us as experiments, used us as experiments, but instilled human education in us! What does he want to do, let us always work hard towards the goal of 'becoming human' , and then break down and self-destruct when you realize you'll never make it?"

The guy and himself are not the same person at all.After Saya realized something, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​rational communication with her. The artificial human's analysis component instantly pieced together several sets of solutions to the problem. Saya, who was once trained as a "humanoid weapon", began to say routinely: " I think we need to have a good talk. Yes, you are the only android I have left with the same experience, and I don't want us to part ways because of these things. Where are you? Can I come to you?"

"I……"

There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, and Hina seemed to be calming herself down.Unexpectedly, a little doubt arose in Sha Ye's heart:

Obviously they are the same type of artificial human, why is Hina's emotional richness the same as that of her who has experienced being possessed by a curse?

Could it be that Hina was also parasitized by a real person?

"I'm in the Port Mafia."

Sha Ye was startled.

"They all recognized me as you, my sister, so I came in easily." Hina smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect you, sister, to be working in a farm and returning to your old business, holding your 'Anu Bis' charged for them and wiped out the enemy? Oh, wait, the belt you took away when you left was not 'Anubis', but the useless healing belt 'Golden Experience','ah Nubis' is in my hands."

"What are you doing there!?"

"Of course it's to take a look at your working environment, sister, and by the way, find that 'Rintaro' who seems to have a close relationship with you." Hina said slowly, "Hikawa told me that that guy brought some for you back then. From the disc of the special photo, you have fallen in love with Kamen Rider since then, and the direction of weapon development has also undergone a major change, changing the 'arrow' to a 'belt'... Well, sister, did you develop a relationship with that guy? Is it called 'love'? Don't tell me it's true, then I'll laugh my ass off, and I'll be deeply jealous."

"Yeah, there's someone up ahead. I'll ask him if he knows Rintaro—oh, that gentleman seems to have changed his name now, right? What's his name, Mori Ogai?"

"Hello, hello~ Do you know where Mr. Mori Ogai is? Well, yes, I am Ms. Kiryu, Merry Christmas! I have something to ask Mr. Mori Ogai, and I need to talk to him face to face— —”

Sha Ye's ears were buzzing.She mechanically turned around and walked back into the house. The mobile phone had hung up at some point, and it fell into the pocket of the sweater and stopped vibrating and making sound.Zai, the heroic spirit leader who doesn't need to sleep, also walked out of the guest room after hearing the news of Sha Ye's return to the house, and looked at the strangely pale Sha Ye with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Dazai." Saya's processor was still able to organize the language clearly, "Good morning, I want to ask you to do something."

"Please speak." The leader Zai nodded slightly.

"I'm going out for a while. If anyone comes to visit, please tell them to come back tomorrow. If Mr. Fukuzawa is visiting or calling, please tell him that I am going to the Port Mafia. If I do not return before the sun goes down today If you don’t come back, please ask him to find me at the port mafia.”

The leader Zai realized what was going on almost immediately: "What happened to the port mafia? What is Mr. Sen going to do?"

"If Dazai and Zhongye ask where I have been, just say that I went to the movies with Dr. Mori." Saya continued to ask without stopping, "If someone who looks exactly like me comes to the house , please be sure to ask a question before opening the door:"

"In the Kamen Rider build, the character played by Takajo Inukai has three names. What is the name with the shortest number of words?"

Chief Zai:?

Sha Ye rushed into her room, then rushed out again with a yellow belt inlaid with a metal arrowhead, the leader Zai hurriedly stopped her: "What's the answer?"

"The answer is Takashi Katsuragi. The three characters played by Takajo Inukai are Kiryu Sento, Taro Sato, and Takashi Katsuragi." Saya quickly finished the identification points and walked out with her belt, "Please You, Mr. Dazai, please protect Dazai and Chuya!"

The leader Zai's face changed several times. After seeing Sha Ye rushing out of the house without a coat on, he came to the hallway, thought for a few seconds, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Li is the customer service line of the port mafia, job number 23—"

"Turn to No. 42 inside." The leader Zai interrupted.

The customer service confirmed after a while: "Are you sure you want to transfer a number?"

"determine."

"Sorry, we need to confirm your identity before transferring—"

The leader Zai sighed slightly, then he cleared his throat, and choked up his voice: "I'm Osamu Dazai, I'm looking for Dr. Mori, I can't answer the questions in today's homework..."

customer service:………………

Customer service: "Okay, Mr. Dazai, please wait a moment, and Li will transfer you to extension number 42 immediately. I wish you a happy study and life."

After a few seconds of beeping, someone answered the phone with a strong nasal and tired voice: "Mr. Dazai? What's up so early?"

"Shaye went to the port mafia with a weapon. There is something urgent, and it seems to be related to another artificial human." The leader Zai immediately resumed his original voice, "She asked me to take care of the house, because she was sure that there was someone who was as old as her. People who look exactly like her will appear in her guise."

Mori Ogai pressed a series of numbers on another phone on the desk without hesitation: "Okay, I'll have someone check it right away. You stay at home and take care of the child, I—"

"By the way, Mr. Sen." The leader Zai paused, "You must be prepared to lose everything."

"Today's situation will be very complicated. You can't easily fool it with a few lies."

Saya holding a belt, the legendary "Yokohama Mask", the port mafia leader who claims to be an ordinary doctor...

Whose lie will be exposed?
