"Backup group".

Staring at the face of a woman with the same facial features as usual, but with a completely different expression, I narrowed my eyes slightly, and slowly outlined the life of the woman I called so in my mind.

The pseudonym she used in the Secret Service was "Maria Karasawa".Except that the first name is the same as the Holy Mother, and the surname is the same as the heroine Tang Zeyusui of "White Night", there is nothing special about it, it is just a popular name that can be seen everywhere.

She had a clean background and a clean resume, and the section chief couldn't find anything unusual.It can be seen from this that in order to create a legal false identity for her, the man undoubtedly spent a lot of money.

She joined the Secret Service for a long time, about the same period as Shen Er of the third department, the chief of Tsunamura, but her actual work performance was lacklustre. The impression of "holding the thighs of the village".

To use a name that is not very pleasant on the Chinese Internet, she is doing her best to play the legendary "Licking Dog".

At least, she hopes that she can become this kind of image in the eyes of outsiders.

Dog licking is also a dog, so it is naturally looked down upon by people, and it is not as aggressive as a vicious dog, fierce dog, or mad dog. Licking dogs will end up with nothing.

To be honest, she did give me more or less this impression in many previous confrontations.

Tsunamura Shinji is narrow-minded, jealous of talents, and will never let his subordinates outshine him. His thighs are so naked that he can't hang on to others. There is really no benefit in being his dog.

Therefore, in my eyes, the sister of the "backup group" is just a person who is confused by his appearance of being rich and jaded and ruined. Nothing but a sad fangirl.

However, the reality is just the opposite.

(...Speaking of it, it is really a simple trap.)

In addition to the support team, I have also doubted other colleagues who are closer to me, such as Mr. Gua, such as Big Tits and Brother, and even turned my suspicious eyes to the inside of the second department.

But in terms of the results, the second lady, Tianchuan Xingniao, who was hostile to me from the beginning, didn't bother to build a good relationship with me at all.

She chose a character setting that is easiest for people to lower their vigilance and dismiss, and also chooses a character setting that is most suitable for her true nature and does not need to be hypocritical to me.

too easy.

Hiding trees in the forest and hiding garbage in the garbage dump is so simple that people can't tell the difference.In terms of this point alone, it can also be said that she is upright and straightforward, and her appearance is the same.

Thanks to the uprightness of the second lady, I don't have to bear the psychological pressure of turning against my colleagues.

As much as she hates me, I still hate her very much, even knowing that everything is acting, given all the bad performances she has done in the Secret Service so far.

You can't blame me for being narrow-minded, I thought.

I can only blame the persona she chose for herself, it is really annoying.

(However, the other way around...)

"Don't be so nervous, Xinghua. Father didn't order me to kill you, I just came to deal with the traitor."

— A steady voice.

Looking at it now, the "backup group" no longer has the superficiality, vulgarity, and impetuosity of the past. The face is pale and calm, and the dark eyes are bottomless, like two cold stars, with a kind of indifference to everything in the world cold temperament.

In short, it looks like a super bad guy.

(Miss Er's character design is not so annoying. Or at least it doesn't look too low.)

"traitor?"

I asked back symbolically, but I wasn’t surprised in my heart, “Are you talking about this Mohegan brother?”

—so why on earth did he shave his mohawk.

"Yes."

The second lady was unexpectedly very patient, and she explained to me slowly: "This Mohawk is called 'Xiao Wulang', and he was originally a kidnapped child who was reformed on the island just like the 'Bai Ye' you rescued before. Later, he obtained supernatural powers and was sent to work for his father when he was a child. As a result, he hit it off with Brother Chuyang——and my elder brother. instruct."

My heart tightened:

"So, he really was sent by the young master..."

"Who knows."

The second lady turned her eyes to one side, her tone was low, and the cold and dark world-weariness in her eyes became more intense.

"At least, he's trying to help you all. No matter who he is for or what he is for, he can't continue to live on this island."

"What about your elder brother?"

I lowered my face and asked, "You call him 'Brother Chuyang', I think you have a good relationship. If one day your eldest brother turns against your father, for the sake of your father, are you planning to keep him alive?"

"..."

For a moment, I seemed to see an imperceptible twist in the expression of the second lady.

"Brother, he has already..."

"already?"

"It's nothing."

As if to smooth out the distortion, she tensed her face, and pressed her pale lips into a straight line.

"Brother, you will see him soon. Come with me now. Xinghua, 【Father misses you very much】."

"------"

Aversion to cold.

It is clearly just such a plain and natural sentence, which can be heard every day in an ordinary family, but it fell into my ears like a centipede piercing the earhole, a poisonous snake slithering down my back, and three layers of goose bumps appeared densely all over my body in an instant. The chill that freezes the blood soaks through the internal organs and flows along the blood vessels throughout the limbs and bones.

miss me?

What do you want me to do? ?

A sworn enemy who deserves to miss me? ? ?

"..."

Anger, hatred, and instinctive physical disgust made me freeze in place like a cat with fried hair, unable to speak for a while, and there were bursts of indistinct hoarse moaning in my throat.It wasn't until the Cave King took a step forward and put his hand against my vest as usual, that I felt the frozen blood start to flow again.

"Relax, Sis."

His tone was like throwing stones like water, and he made a final decision amidst the ripples that appeared layer by layer.

"Did you forget? You came here just to end everything with that man."

"……I know."

I slightly calmed down my shortness of breath, raised my eyes to meet the eyes of the second lady, and forcefully pushed out the syllables one by one with the tip of my tongue:

"Okay. You lead the way."

"This way."

Seeing that the second lady was about to turn around, I hurriedly followed and added:

"But relatively, you have to let this Mohigan go. He is also a victim? He is coerced and involuntary. Maybe he can escape punishment. In case the young master is hopeless for life, I will at least keep his friend."

"..."

The second lady stared at me for a moment like a soulless puppet, her glass-like eyeballs remained motionless, and only her two lips opened and closed mechanically:

"It doesn't matter. But you are so sure that you can beat your father and take Kogoro away from this island?"

"I can."

This time I should be decisive, without any hesitation.

"you……"

Second Miss was taken aback by my stable attitude, but after all, she has been hiding in the Secret Service for a long time and knows my character like the back of her hand, so she didn't show too much surprise.She turned around and gave Kiyohime a slight nod. The girl in swimsuit holding a naginata immediately understood, and smiled at her tenderly and sweetly, before disappearing without a trace.

(Huh……??)

This is the first time I have seen such a harmonious scene in the enemy camp.

Obviously different from Sixth Miss and Yamada, Qing Ji, the supernatural life form summoned by Second Miss, seems to like her very much. The two parties have a good relationship and seamless cooperation, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction.

(In this case, where does her "envy" of me come from?)

(I can't figure it out. Could it be that she is a straight steel girl, not interested in Qing Ji, and wants to find a mature man with a lot of flirtatious talk to fall in love with.)

I was letting myself guess wildly, and the second lady had turned her back again, and walked forward without looking back:

"Come with me. This is a rare opportunity, so you should take a good look at your father's 'Palace'."

……

……

"Just take a good look at your father's 'Palace'."

——I didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence until I climbed to the third floor.

"Varied……"

As soon as I stepped out of the stairs, my footsteps were frozen in the air due to excessive shock, and then my pupils constricted, and my whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. I couldn't take this step until my calf was sore and numb.

"This is……"

The alarm in my brain sounded crazily, and every cell in my body seemed to be screaming at the top of my lungs, warning me not to move on.

Because, on both sides of the corridor in front of me—

Like thousands of overlapping scars, countless picture frames and mirror frames of different sizes and shapes filled the two walls in a haphazard manner, extending infinitely on the endless corridor.

Countless pairs of lifeless eyes stared at us together.

You can tell without looking closely, in each picture frame, in each pair of mirror frames, there is a beautiful face of the mother when she was young, like a blooming epiphyllum.Some photos have already faded and turned yellow, which shows their age.

smiling mother.

Frowning mother.

Wearing a junior high school uniform and carrying a backpack, a mother walking happily on the way to school with her classmates.

The mother who stopped and lingered in front of the blooming hydrangea, leaned over and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers.

Putting on the newly bought dress, the mother who held the skirt and twirled in circles.

I came to the lively summer festival with my family, shuttling among the vendors like a bird out of the cage, with takoyaki in one hand and apple candy in one hand, and the mother with bright sauce on the corner of her mouth.

Practicing calligraphy in club activities, the mother with her snow-white wrist hanging in the air, steadily swaying a line of ink.

Young and young, my unknown mother.

That "Ms. Purple" is said to be the woman their leader has been in love with for a long time, and finally got it with great difficulty, and kept it by his side...

Suddenly, the narration of the boy in disguise echoed in his mind.

(Is what he witnessed on the island the upside-down scene in front of me at this very moment?)

He's right, I think.

Judging from the portraits and various candid photos, at least since the mother was 13 years old, this man has begun to observe her in every possible way, recording every scene of her life with fascination.

"Lolita. The light of my life, the fire of my soul. My sin, my soul."

The second young lady's hoarse and deep voice sounded in my ears, and there was a gust of cold wind between the words, which made me tremble unconsciously for the first time.

"Early when my father was still young, he had already set his sights on Teak Purple. He said that from the first time he saw her, he decided to have this girl."

"He spent many years building a criminal organization and he managed to abduct her."

"........."

The tsunami-like turbulent and intense emotions clogged my throat, and my remaining rationality was not enough to organize them into words, and in the end I could only spit out a very correct nonsense:

"At that time... my mother was still so young."

"But father is already an adult."

Second Miss let out a short sneer.

"Go on, Xinghua."

Walking along the corridor full of portraits, I noticed that as we went deeper, the content of the portraits on the walls on both sides began to change gradually.

I saw my mother's angry and anxious eyes, saw her painful and distorted face, saw her looking up in a dark room where the sun was out, and saw her being pressed in front of the camera by people wearing various clothes, and her bright and lively face was drying up day by day , Emotions seemed to evaporate from every pore, and finally there was only a stone-like cold, numb face, without a trace of blood and anger.

—The one I am familiar with, the mother's face.

"........."

I stood still at the end of the corridor and looked back without saying a word.

I know that this is my mother's life so far, and it is also the sinful portrayal of that man who admires himself in the name of "love".

And I came here just to put an end to his crimes with my own hands.

Look at the exquisite carved cage in Ai Lei's hands, the blue halo in it - the mother's soul has not changed at all, it has been suspended in place motionless from beginning to end, and its shape has not even disintegrated.It doesn't look like a misty firefly, but rather like a shining and heavy lantern in a snowy night.

so still.

so peaceful.

It was as if the creepy scene in the countless portraits on the wall, and the morbid desires overflowing from them, were just a strange story that had nothing to do with her.

"Qian, Zi told you just now."

Taking advantage of the second lady walking ahead without looking back, Ai Lei quietly approached and whispered to me:

"'I don't think much of that man anymore. So, you don't think much of him either.'"

"Ok, I know."

This time, I really smiled without any worries.

"Don't worry. If we don't talk about biology in the second year of middle school, even if that man is recorded in my DNA, he has never been in my eyes."

"..."

Hearing these words, the second young lady turned her head suddenly, and there was another subtle twist on Duan's face.

"Xinghua, you are really different from us. Among all of us, only you have not been influenced by your father at all."

Without waiting for me to answer, she suddenly stopped abruptly, and opened a nearby door casually:

"This is my room. If you don't mind, come in and have a look."

"..."

The dark door is so suspicious that it can be seen at a glance, but right now I have nothing to worry about, and I don't want to miss this good opportunity to know myself and my enemy.So I didn't get entangled, I just turned around and gave Bedivere a wink:

"Beddy, you stay here with Mohigan and Fourth Young Master. The others follow me in."

"Please be careful."

The knight nodded humbly, without any doubts in his tone.

"The same goes for Merlin, please make sure you don't get into trouble."

"I know! Trust me more!!"

……

Total darkness.

At first, I thought that the darkness in the second lady's room was caused by the light.But after actually stepping in, I realized that the ceiling, walls, carpets and furniture of this room, without exception, are all pure black.

What's more, in the darkness of the inorganic matter, there are large irregular stains with dark red stains in the pitch black, sometimes it seems to be splashed spots, and sometimes it seems to come from the cracks in the wall. Oozing, blood and tears meandering down like a patter.Perhaps because of poor ventilation, there was a pungent rotten smell in the air.

This room seemed to be alive, and when a stranger entered, all the appliances began to vibrate slightly, making a noisy and uneasy buzzing.

"……unacceptable."

Ai Lei whispered, "Even the underworld I saw for the first time was not so..."

"Don't get me wrong. It's not my taste."

Sensing our astonished eyes, the second lady turned around and explained with a half-smile:

"Just like your ability carrier is a game account, this 'room' is also my ability carrier. The more I use the ability, the more eerie the 'room I live in' will become. Even if I change my residence, this The picture will not change in the slightest.”

"Really. That's really depressing."

I commented perfunctorily in my mouth, but I was also secretly surprised in my heart-what kind of supernatural power would make the living environment of the supernatural being change into such a state?

"Ah, are you curious about my ability? It's okay to tell you."

"【The resentment of the people I killed will be deposited in this room. As long as the resentment accumulates to a certain level, I can use the summoning.】"

In the thick and heavy darkness like a swamp, Second Miss' voice sounded very clear, with an indescribably haggard and desolate meaning.

"How, the ability to inherit father's mantle? Compared with you, I am more like a criminal."

"..."

At the same time, I also found something strange in the same furniture.

In the corner of the room, there are incense candles, offerings and two black and white portraits, which is like a small mourning hall.Looking closely at the two portraits, one of them is a gentle and timid woman, and the other is a handsome young man who seems to have stepped out of a painting, with gentle and handsome features, but his brows are tightly furrowed, as if there is an inextricable blood feud .

Look at the small words below the photo——

"'Mom', and 'brother'...?"

(Like, somewhere...)

wrong.

wrong.

wrong! ! !

(Miss Er's "brother", isn't that—)

I turned my head abruptly.

"My mother was killed. My brother is gone. Without my father's permission, no one can even mourn for them. Everyone thought Brother Chuyang was still alive."

"As for myself, I never had the chance to [really become a member of the Secret Service] from the very beginning. My abilities are destined to be stained with blood, and I can't face them without any worries like you."

The pale woman standing in the darkness murmured like a wraith in the painting of a hundred ghosts, and two bright red tears fell silently from her eyes.

"I said, Xinghua. I've been watching you all the time."

"I've always envied you."

"Having hated you all this time."

"Cursed you all the time."

"Why is your loved one still alive? Why, only you can escape this darkness?"

"why--"

—Why, you look so happy? ? ?

"Click" sound.

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of the door being locked.

"Qian, get out of the way!! This woman never planned to take you to meet the leader from the very beginning!!!"

The Cave King's shout suddenly sounded from behind, and then a huge momentum pushed me aside.At the moment when I passed by, I was surprised to find that the figure of the Cave King gradually became transparent, and the condensed magic power dissipated rapidly, and there were some faint signs of being unable to maintain the entity.

(Could it be that there are other institutions in this room...)

"Right, I forgot to say it."

The flat but poisonous female voice seemed to rise from the bottom of hell.

"After this 'room' is locked, except for me, all the supernatural beings in it will lose their power. If Ereshkigal is the only one left, how long can she protect you?"

"Didn't I say it, a long time ago."

"—Without supernatural powers, you are nothing at all."

The author has something to say: the last sentence is the speech made by Sanxi in the past to mock and slander Qian

The second sister's jealousy towards Akane is true, but the reason is different from the character she played in the first place.Except for the eldest brother, all the children's personalities have been distorted. The second sister was taught to kill people since she was a child, and she didn't realize this distortion until she came into contact with the outside world, but she has no chance to wash her hands.This hopelessness at the end turned into hatred.

PS: The big brother was done by the scumbag... because his powers haven't disappeared, so he hasn't cooled off yet!
