It's been a week since Scarlet Sakura was last killed, and Zero feels like he's in a dream.

I don't know how I got back to the dormitory, how I spent my boring school life in a mess, and I don't know how Yuki is doing.

It always seems that something is missing, but every time I look for something missing, it seems like all my strength has been drained, and I don't want to do anything.

Lying on the big bed and looking out of the dark window, the cold moonlight soaked the room, like a huge cage locking him tightly inside.

The sound of slight footsteps came from far to near, and Zero got up to look at it, and his pupils suddenly dilated. "You ......"

"Are you surprised, do you think I'm dead?" the man took off his mask, revealing a delicate face that looked like zero. It's the twin brother of Zero. "I'm disappointed. ”

Zero looked at the strange and familiar teenager in front of him, indifferent.

"Brother Zero. He tilted his head and smiled: "Don't make that kind of expression, we used to be very good twins." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at zero.

Silently watching the wisps of action, Zero was just a pause, but there was no defense to fight back.

Perhaps because he felt that the other party didn't need to make himself serious, he put down the gun in his hand and sneered: "It's really not presentable, Zero, it's not like you at all." Since when did you become ...... It used to be so expected, but now I have to do my best to fight against the ** in my body. Anyway, sooner or later, you will be dominated by **, lose your sense of self, and degenerate into a beast-like LevelE. A wisp picked up the saber at his side, picked Zero's tie and poked it straight at his heart. "What are you struggling with? If I were you, Zero, I'd succumb to what my heart thinks. ”

"That's what you're trying to say?" Zero calmly didn't seem to be asking.

A wisp hooked the corners of his mouth, "No, I have a lot to say about my □ who I haven't seen for a long time." Do you want to know?

The originally indifferent eyes suddenly flashed, and finally regained calm.

"Don't you want to know where he's gone, the idiot who hid it from me and showed up to you in another way." ”

The sound of breathing became uneven, and Zero Qiang held back the turmoil in his heart without saying a word.

No matter how much I suppress the excitement in my heart, I can't help but think back to the scene of that day.

The ground was covered with blood, the smell of blood, the traces of battle...... It's not intense, but it's always desperate.

The boy he didn't know anything about subverted all his cognitions and solved his heart problems for many years so directly. It's not that there are no doubts, it's just that I can't figure it out too much, and I don't bother to think about it later.

To be precise, it should be an escape to uncover the truth.

He was afraid, and even he couldn't tell what he was afraid of.

"Heh......" A wisp slowly approached the distracted Zero, and lowered his head to look at him. Instead of continuing the question just now, he changed the topic to "Zero knew it a long time ago, and he knew it from before." The darkness that grows in my heart—"

When did that happen? Zero looked at the sky in confusion.

- "Because of his weak health, the child is not up to the job of a vampire hunter. ”

- "Yes, a wisp of the end is unable to catch up with the pace of zero, no matter how hard you try...... It's impossible, obviously they're so good. ”

"Remember, Zero. Leaning on Zero's ear, he whispered, "Thank you for always being so nice to me...... Cheng dù, who was so happy that he hated it. ”

Standing up and looking down at Zero's slightly stunned look, he smiled nonchalantly: "Zero doesn't understand, right, the same twins are always put together after birth, and they are more sympathetic, which makes people feel that they are miserable ...... that they are not needed."

"Is that why you're dominated by that woman?" Zero stared at the back of a turn.

"I don't know. A wisp replied simply and decisively, without the slightest emotion in his tone, "As a reason for my survival, it has long been wiped out by Zero, hasn't it?"

Only that person will need himself, even if only for a reason for revenge. So after hearing that she was killed, the mood was by no means happy, but dazed and even a little panicked and angry.

I can feel that the strange self in my body has disappeared, but the marks he left around his life are difficult to erase. The feeling of being pondered, questioned, and explored as a foreign object by others is so bad that it makes me go crazy.

It's not me at all, it's not like it anywhere, and it's not qualified to be recognized as another person who likes to be accepted, why do everyone look for him?

When I was a child, there was a shadow next to Zero, and now it has become an ornament, why? What did he do wrong!

Anger overturned all reason, and he turned around and slowly walked to Zero, his face full of fierceness, "The fate of being distorted by the idle adult is painful enough." Even if you kill the idle adult, you still can't avoid the end of becoming a LevelE. Scold...... It's the same as me. ”

Looking at Zero's hand holding the Blood Rose Spear glowing blue and white due to excessive exertion, a wisp of sickly pleasure welled up in his heart. Ignoring the advice he had heard before, he simply confessed: "My fate has also been changed by Lord Xian, although there are nosy people in the middle...... But it doesn't matter, it's not a problem now. Purebred vampires with this ability are like gods. ”

The word god pricked Zero's nerves, and he didn't care about the nosy mentioned in the middle, and directly grabbed him by the collar and asked, "That woman is a god?!"

Because of her, the Cone family will suffer such a tragic end. A wisp of losing a loved one and becoming a monster actually said that the culprit was God!

"Zero didn't know anything about Lady Idler - she kept her promise and kept me out of my illness from now on. A smug smile: "As much as I would love to kill Zero, as the winner who regains the initiative, I will abide by the agreement with that idiot and let you go." ”

Finally noticed the abnormality in the wisp of words, and asked with zero frowns: "What agreement?

The corners of his mouth were raised disdainfully, and a wisp of contempt looked at Zero, "You, sure enough, don't know anything." Wasted the idiot's mind. ”

Suddenly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and with zero agility pressed down the blade with the spear of the Blood Rose, still puzzled: "What do you mean?

Just as he was questioning, a thought exploded in his heart like thunder.

No, that fool...... How can it be.

Observing the change of zero facial expressions, although faint, it still catches the bottom of the eye. A wisp of urgency: "Haven't you guessed it yet? Who will not be close to you for what you want, and when you need help, he will not hesitate to use his own blood to help you suppress the ** of LevelE in your body? Who will appear accurately in that moment of crisis and kill your worst enemy in time? Zero doesn't really think that idiot is a coincidence every time he appears, right?"

Zero's pupils constricted, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"It's sad, isn't it. I've done so much for you, desperately suppressing my personality and occupying this body, doing my best to do things for you, and at the same time worrying that you will find out and become disgusted. How ridiculous, childishly fantasizing about the act of being able to retain you with sincerity. Doesn't Zero feel familiar? This kind of stupid practice?" There was a clear hatred in his tone, and for him, letting Zero Pain was the biggest motivation, "Just like me at the beginning, Zero thought it was ridiculous, no matter what kind of personality appeared in front of you, you can't escape the fate of being ignored and finally abandoned. ”

Zero looked at him in disbelief, his breathing suddenly thickening. Raising his hand to cover his chest, his head looked like he had been run over by a truck. There was still a buzzing sound in his ears, accompanied by the crisp and warm voice of the young man.

[Is my brother going to leave me behind, like when I was a child?]

[Wow, Zero, did anyone tell you that you laughed so well...... It's so cute!]

[I believe that Zero will not hurt Yuhime's classmates, and in the end, Zero will not control himself?]

[I've only been with you for a few days, how can I compare to Yuki and the chairman? Even if I take out a qiē to be good to you, maybe you will think that I have another purpose. 】

[You can't give up on your own initiative, absolutely not!]

[But I still like to be brothers with Zero, what should I do?]

......

The screaming pain in his body was about to burst through his throat, and Zero hung his head and clung to the carpet under his feet.

How and why...... Marsh......

Before his vague consciousness fell into darkness, he seemed to see the wisp that had been following him obediently, overlapping with the mischievous Ze who was smiling before.

Smile like the rising sun.

In the dimly lit room, Jiu Lanshu sat in the corner near the window, watching the half-opened gift box on the table.

In the gift box, a set of snow-white dresses is neatly stacked, and the workmanship is exquisite, judging from the faintly exposed patterns, it should be for boys.

He only ordered two sets of this dress, one in Yuki's hands and one ...... It may never be delivered.

Thinking of this, Jiu Lanshu's eyes became more and more gloomy.

The door of the study was gently pushed open, and Ichijo Tama had already changed into his dress, he closed the door with his hand, and walked in a few steps. Noticing the dress on the table, he paused for a few seconds and whispered, "Yuki is waiting for you in the hall, do you want to go down now?"

Jiu Lanshu got up and walked to the door, as if he had thought of something, he turned back to a tuoma and said, "Throw away all the things on the table." ”

Hearing this, a Tuoma looked towards the desk. I didn't look closely just now, but when I looked closely, I found that there were some miscellaneous items next to the gift box - a half-eaten candy box, a straw magic hat from the amusement park, and a book.

According to Jiu Lanshu's character, these must not be his things.

"Are you interested in this?" Ichijo Takuma walked over and picked up the book, flipped through it casually, and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't read this kind of thing, I remember giving one to Sakuzawa." ”

Jiu Lanshu stood there indifferently, not saying a word.

didn't care if the other party listened or not, Ichijo Tama continued: "Once he came to you, and then chatted casually. I haven't seen such a cute boy yet, because I want to know you, even if I tease him to show him a book about horoscopes, he accepts it very seriously. ”

Looking at a book in Tuoma's hand-

Is that to understand yourself?

[Doesn't my brother like me as a younger brother and doesn't want to admit me?]

[If my brother has any wishes, you can tell me, maybe I can help my brother realize it. 】

[Let's make a pact...... If my brother can't accept me until I die, then please don't worry about the cost of what I want to achieve, and I will try to help him. 】

......

What did the young man who always gave silently say to him when he was looking forward to a response?

- [Remember, I'm your brother]

That's right, that's what suits his character. There is no détente that can be hoped for, and the stakes are straightforwardly divided. They are entangled because of this blood relationship, and it is also because of this relationship that separates each other from being free. This is what he is most sure of, and what he wants to see the most. It's just that the idiot always doesn't want to understand.

With a tuoma's observational power, how could he not know that the other party was just testing him when he said this.

Opened the door, without the cold sense of alienation just now, but still flat, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Ichijo Tuoma was slightly stunned, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I have to say what I want to ask, huh...... Does it work?"

As he spoke, he was afraid that Jiu Lanshu would not understand, so he raised the book in his hand and shook it.

Jiu Lanshu's eyes were on the book for a few seconds, and then he turned and walked out.

A tuoma stared at the back of Jiu Lanshu who was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes darkened.

If he was not mistaken just now, there was a kind of pity in the complicated feelings in Jiu Lanshu's eyes.

The author has something to say: a tangled world is finally stuck...... To be honest, I think I wrote the worst world, and I didn't feel it at all. However, it was finally written. Will the next world be Conan? or Kuroko????
