No wonder Xu Yangu died because of the dagger piercing into the chest.

The heart is an organ that is tightly protected by the ribs, and it is slippery and tough, and people who are not skilled in their crafts are prone to mistakes. Moreover, this method of suicide, in which the blade is pushed deep into one's own chamber, also requires extraordinary determination on the part of the suicidal person. I often hear of people who commit suicide by hanging, slitting their wrists, taking drugs, etc., but rarely hear of someone stabbing themselves in the heart.

The deaths of Xu Yangu and Duo Xu Fu seem to be the same, but they are actually different, because the latter is really a suicide. The motive for the suicide of the double Xu Fu stems from the imposed part of his "double fold", but how does he expect it? I think he committed suicide in that painful way, maybe it was to make some kind of potential accusation against me, or maybe it was to impress me.

But whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with Xu Yangu. Because Xu Yangu's reason for committing suicide was not to die, but to be reincarnated.

"Suicide" is just a transit point for him. Under this premise, he will inevitably pursue a quick, painless, and 100% lethal way of suicide. In case of suicide and loss of action, it is equivalent to giving Xu Quanan a chance to escape. However, he still committed suicide in that way - because he did not actually "commit suicide", but "he killed", and the murderer was Xu Quanan.

I know very well that talking about this now is nothing more than an afterthought. From the previous point of view, the reason why Xu Yangu committed suicide like this may be because he also wants to impress his dying son, or because he is a skilled and painless handicraft, and some are explained. But at this time, the result was quite clear, and the rune array activated on the ground was undoubted and ironclad. And just as I recognized my opponent's true share with the help of the rune array, the opponent also recognized my true part with the help of the rune array and the elimination method.

"I was really surprised that it turned out to be you as a Faceling. No wonder no one could guess your true share, and who would have thought that the true part of the Facelings was actually an eighteen-year-old student with a broken hand and foot and a blind eye. He said to me, "I never imagined that it was not only my father who would kill me, but my son who would kill me, and even my grandson. ”

I acquiesced to his words. Whether he has me, or not, he's going to die here tonight. And he must have thought the same thing, and just as much believed that he could kill his opponent.

"After you killed Xu Yangu, you pretended to be the master of his ants, and at the same time took over the ant colony organization and the second- and third-rate underground organizations used to disguise yourself." I took what he had said, "Because the Lord of the Ants never shows his face, it's easy for the Inheritor to disguise himself." This is what his cronies used to say.

I continued, "But Xu Shengxing once told me that you are quite disgusted with the boss of the underground organization. Now that Xu Yangu is dead, why don't you pursue your own life and inherit his throne instead? ”

"You've already thought of the answer, haven't you? Xu Yangu left behind him, and even after his death, he is still at the mercy of my life. "Xu Yangu, or rather, Xu Quan'an, his tone is quite calm, maybe because of my truth, he doesn't mind talking to me more at this juncture," in order to prevent him from being able to recognize his cronies after seizing my body, he revealed the matter of reincarnation to his cronies at that time in advance. If my counter-killing of Xu Yangu is revealed, then his fanatical followers will hunt me down to the ends of the earth, even Sheng Xing and my wife. For this, I had to play Xu Yangu. Play the image of a cold, paranoid, crazy character who never hesitates to use violence and takes a high-pressure stance towards the family. ”

I didn't hesitate to say, "Your role was quite successful. ”

"But my life was messed up because of it." "From that day on, I was in a ridiculous contradiction," he said. If I, Xu Quanan, want to live, I can only live as a person who is not Xu Quanan. I killed my own father, disobeyed his wishes, and in the end I had to strangle myself and live as my father had wished. In life, I am Xu Yangu who plays Xu Quanan; In the ant colony, I am Xu Quanan who plays Xu Yangu. It was as if I had split in half, and neither side was what I wanted. ”

"If you really don't want it, why did you live so far as the Ant Lord?" I asked, "You were able to go with the flow when you first took the position, but now you are strong enough." ”

"It's not strong enough. Xu Fu, I'm not strong enough. I can't swim against the tide now. I'm different from you, I'm different from Shengxing. Stripped of the Ant Lord's skin, I'm just a complete ordinary. It's not a messenger of heaven, and it's not a strong one. He said, "In the eyes of the worker ants, I am the mysterious and terrifying ant lord, and I am indulging in them." But on the other hand, why aren't the worker ants indulging me? The reason why I am where I am now is because the worker ants have lifted me up. As soon as the worker ants stopped lifting me, I would immediately fall to the ground. So I have to play the role of the messenger of heaven in their imagination so that they will obey. If I manage to escape, the fangs on the inside will tear me to shreds, along with the claws on the outside. ”

He looked at his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slowly released it, "But I didn't give up. Although I have lived even longer as the Lord of Ants than I have lived as Xu Quanan, I have never forgotten who I am. I wasn't born to be an ant lord. ”

At this moment, I remembered for no reason the patrolman who was subdued by me and Naoto Inoue before the raid on the ant colony headquarters, "Your subordinates were not born to become so-called worker ants. ”

"Perhaps." "But soon, I'll break free from this contradiction," he said. ”

"Is it all the dead air you've gathered?" I asked rhetorically, "Why are you collecting so much dead air?" If it was just to suppress the soul imprint of the Dark Beaver Armor, there would be no need for such a large amount of dead air at all. ”

"I made the Stone of Death." He said.

Death Stones, items capable of suppressing souls. And if there is so much dead air, even the soul of the Dark Beaver Leader himself can suppress it. I immediately realized his intentions, "You want to suppress Xu Shengxing's soul and then take his body?" And then use his soul as a source of energy to become an alternative super-grade psyker? ”

At the same time, more clues were gathering in my head. It occurred to me that his birthday feast was held on the top floor of the Fugu Hotel, and since he was killed there and reincarnated, then he must have set up a reincarnation upstairs or downstairs just like he did today. It is very likely that the reincarnation is not downstairs, because there may be someone passing downstairs, and that is upstairs. On the top floor, there is the rooftop.

Before being killed by the Invisible Killer, he had invited Xu Shengxing to go to the rooftop alone for a long talk. It was obviously raining outside at the time, but he would rather ask Xu Shengxing to help him hold an umbrella than change to a drier place. According to these conditions, after Xu Shengxing arrives at the rooftop, he will see the reincarnation placed on the rooftop.

If I were Xu Quan'an, I would put my reincarnation face down on the ground, and even ask for a transfiguration. In this way, Xu Shengxing will take the opportunity to hand over the umbrella to Xu Quanan, who is in a wheelchair, and then go to check it, and at the same time walk into the talisman array. Of course, it's not uncommon for plans to fail to keep up with changes, and things may not go so smoothly. Xu Quanan will probably have other means to control the situation, but I don't know more about it.

And after the talisman array was activated, Xu Shengxing would definitely retreat vigilantly. How should Xu Quanan limit Xu Shengxing to the talisman array at that time? I looked at the enchantment that was trapping me at this time, and I had the answer in my heart.

"This enchantment is what you prepared for Xu Shengxing." I said, "The reason why he was able to find this underground sewer stronghold without a psychic medium was because you deliberately left him a clue?" But I didn't expect that I would bring a psychic medium and enter here at the same time as Xu Shengxing? ”

"If you weren't in the way at first, everything would have been different." He said.

Maybe he thought that I, who attended his birthday banquet with Xu Shengxing all the way, was actually an impostor; And the disfigured murderer who assassinated him later is the real me. I didn't clarify this misunderstanding, but just said: "You don't even let him go, this is exactly the same as Xu Yangu, whom you hate, and you are trying to attack your son." ”

"I used to be sincere with him, and I used to tell him that I would support him in his free life. It's just that he doesn't need my support at all. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "On the day I killed my own father, he awakened his spiritual powers, and from now on, he is free to organize his own life." And in order to convince my cronies that I was indeed occupied by Xu Yangu, I had to show him that I wanted to arrange his life. However, looking at his confident face, unconsciously, acting is no longer acting. Do you know why? ”

"I'm not interested in this kind of confession of yours." I say.

"Of course you're not going to be interested. Because you too have the strength to break free from certain constraints. He said, "You can't understand my suffering. I kept an eye on him all night, and I wanted him to be the same as before, but I couldn't stop thinking: Why can't it be me? ”

He said as he pulled out his pistol from above, "This thought has been hovering in my mind for more than thirty years. I hesitated at first, because it was my son after all, and I could feel something in my blood, like a chain, holding me back. But in the end, it's just an illusion. There are no chains at all. After thinking about this, I started buying people. I thought I would be hesitant to torture others like this, but it was surprisingly easy to do. ”

"You're a murderer." I say.

"It's not me who really killed them, it's you, right?" He smiled.

"By 'murderer', I mean someone like you who takes pleasure in the fear, pain, and despair of others."

"Those are just means." He said, "Besides, if you say so, aren't you the same?" ”

"So, I'm sure I'll die a bad death in the future." I said, "But now you're going to die first." ”

"How are you going to kill me? While the barrier is papery on the outside, it is indestructible on the inside, especially when it is compressed and strengthened. Even if you take out that anti-psionic weapon, it won't help. He raised his gun as he spoke, and the barrier narrowed further, "Enough talking, let's stop here." Unfortunately, you will be the one who dies first. ”

At the same time, I used my own blood to quietly draw on the fabric of my trousers, the symbol that the Turin doctor had taught me, summoning a disfigured murderer.

"It's not me who killed you here, it's the victims you have killed." I said to him, "They killed you twice. And at this moment, they are about to kill you for the third time. At the same time, it will also be the last. ”

"What?" He frowned tightly.

In the next moment, a sharp claw pierced his chamber from behind.

*

The Faceless Killer waved his arm and threw Xu Quanan into the corner.

The latter is dying, but not dead.

It didn't kill Xu Quanan with one blow, which was also expected by me. Ever since I knew that Xu Quanan would be reincarnated, I realized why it didn't make Xu Quanan's life worse than death as the strange story and the victims expected.

"You knew from the beginning that he would be reincarnated." I said, "Am I right to kill him so happily in the past in order to deplete his reincarnation resources so that he will fall into despair?" ”

It didn't speak. Of course it won't speak. It's a monster, a monster that brings darkness to people like Xu Quanan and me. It just snapped its claws, like a lead ball shattering a windowpane, breaking the barrier that trapped me, and then striking in an attacking stance, silently searching for my flaws. It wants to kill me.

I said to it, "Stop now, you can at least take him with you." ”

This murderer whose mission is to destroy the murderer just stared at me, and I don't know if he listened to my words. I somehow thought it might have understood. But it didn't look in Xu Quanan's direction at all. It seems that it wants to destroy me more than Xu Quanan.

I see. I had an epiphany. However, it is no match for me anymore. I've already figured out all the ways of it, and no matter where it comes from, it will be counterattacked by me, and no matter how it defends, I will find a flaw. It's outdated, and the pressure it puts on me isn't enough to get me back into that whole new field. If it is determined to destroy me even so, then I will destroy it here.

It rushed up without saying a word.

But, as soon as it was closed, I swung the anti-psionic dagger and cut off its head.

It fell to the ground, its body crumbling into a mass of black-purple light particles, which disappeared with the wind like sparks in the sky.

Xu Quanan disappeared from the corner at some point, but he could see drag-like blood on the ground. I picked up the pistol he had dropped and walked out the door, seeing his back crawling on the ground in the hallway of the stronghold. Although he didn't climb much distance, it was a shame that he was able to struggle to the death to this point. Maybe this cloned reincarnation has been tweaked in some way.

But he was not destined to escape. Even if I don't talk about it, there's another person here.

Xu Shengxing appeared in front of Xu Quanan.

The latter seemed to see the former's feet, looked up again, and then let out a self-deprecating laugh, "Is this retribution?" I killed my own father, and now I will be killed by my own son? ”

Hearing this dying sentence, Xu Shengxing paused slightly. He looked down at his own father, his face clouded by shadows, and I couldn't make out his watch. Only after a moment did he speak, "No wonder he didn't close his eyes until he died. ”

Xu Quanan struggled on the ground, as if he wanted to look back at me, but he was too injured and gave up. Then, he looked at Xu Shengxing again.

"Kill me." "But sooner or later you will be punished." ”

Xu Shengxing didn't answer, he raised his right hand, and a fire appeared in his palm. The next morning, Xu Quanan's second ashes entered the tombstone of a cemetery on the outskirts of Beaver City.
