It's been a long time---- Brother Ji Shen. ＂

She blushed slightly, smiled slightly, and smiled like an angel at me.

At this point, though, this smile of hope seemed to me to be similar to the hypocritical smile of the devil.

I admit the facts.

Hatsu Qing and the eighth person of the Night Maniac Ghost were the same person from the beginning.

The gentle, shy and kind little sister who was coerced; The hypocritical, terrible, cruel, and eighth man of the night madness ghost - from the beginning, there was only one person.

It was she who provided Aaron with the information, she was the one who repelled the delinquent boys, she was the one who collected the eyeballs of the animal liver that mailed them, and she was the one who invited me to come to this train to fight to the death.

I had always been deceived by her gentle and hopeful smile, and I never dared to think that I had been numbing myself.

"Why..... ＂

The brain finally parsed the situation in front of it, and finally made a sound out of the throat.

"Curiosity kills the cat, if it weren't for Brother Ji Shen who opened the wardrobe that day and saw my secret, there wouldn't be today. ＂

In the distance, the black-robed "dark", no, Chu Qing said with a sigh, with a hint of resentment and desolation in his tone.

"If I hadn't opened that closet, would you have kept the gentle and shy little sister character on board? ＂

I clenched my fists and asked Chu Qing in a cold voice.

Her acting skills were so perfect that even at this moment, when she was standing in front of me in a black robe, I still suspected that it might be a dream.

"It's not pretending...... ＂

She looked into my eyes and said slowly.

"I get along with Brother Ji Shen, I am the real me, I want to think about my brother from the bottom of my heart, and I feel shy from the bottom of my heart.... From the bottom of my heart, I feel happy because I get along with my older siblings...... ＂

Chu Qing said with a red face and slightly red eyes.

"I don't believe it...... Accomplices of the Night Mania and lovers of viscera have that emotion..... ＂

I said to her with a frown.

"Isn't Brother Ji Shen the most empathetic? My mood. ＂

She said.

"Huh? ＂

What is she talking about? Why do I feel it best?

"Shy, gentle, kind, I exist as the ideal wife of Brother Ji Shen, and there is a second self that is terrible, cruel, and disgusting to protect my heart, and I share this body..... ＂

Chu Qing said slowly, a somewhat intoxicated expression appeared on her face.

Sharing a body? Two of her?

Could it be that ...

It's a dual personality.

Like me, the usually gentle, cute and kind school girl also has a second personality: the personality that exists as a perverted murderer.

"You're like me, too... Dual personality? ＂

I asked, stunned.

"Well, it's the same dual personality as Brother Ji Shen, but it's a little different. ＂

She blushed and leaned against the railing again.

"It seems that my two personalities can switch quickly, and I can do a higher level of "splitting" than my brother..... ＂

She said slowly.

Switching, splitting? What is she talking about.

"I could hear the whisper of 'the other me' in my ear...... She seems to have been there for me all the time, and we have a good relationship..... ＂

Chu Qing said slowly, then looked at the other end of the railing, and smiled a little playfully, as if there was someone in that place.

But I didn't see anything, and there was no special sound other than the sound of the train pressing over the tracks and the whirring of the wind outside.

The so-called "another Chu Qing" is only in her mind, maybe because of the loneliness after her parents left, maybe it is related to the agreement with someone seven years ago, maybe it is the reason for being bullied all year round, she has created a virtual "friend" for herself, or even a "sister" like a role, as her other personality to complete some cruel and terrifying actions for her, and Chu Qing under this personality also has far more strength than ordinary people.

No wonder the people of the Night Mania call her the ghost of the shadows.... Something that does not exist but exists.

Thinking about it this way, I do feel like a "ghost", and it's a "ghost" in the dark shadows of the early sunshine.

"That.... Which personality are you now? I always feel like you're not the gentle and shy school girl I know, but you're not a complete stranger either....."

I said, asking the question in my mind.

"Whether it's the first personality or the second personality, I love my brother deeply...... Now I think it's a perfect combination of these two personalities. ”

She said with a smile, her face flushed with a girl's flush, and her eyes were blurred, but this shy state at this time made me feel trembling from the bottom of my heart.

The perfect combination?

In other words, what is standing in front of me at this time is Hatsuharu, who has a high level of love for me and can kill people with cruel methods.

Should I say it's fanatical, or it's sick, it's very uncomfortable.

"Actually, I don't understand a little, why do you like me? We've only known each other for a few days....."

I asked her.

"Hmm.... What about this question....... I don't know if Brother Ji Shen still remembers, but I told you one thing...... Seven years ago, a big brother gave me hope in seven minutes when I was most desperate...... ＂

She blushed, her white jade-like fingers stretched out under her black robe, and she stroked the railing and said.

"Remember..... ＂

I said.

"That brother is you. ＂

She said to me, my clenched fists loosening.

It's me?

How come I have no memory at all.....

"At that time, I had just learned that my parents had left me, and my classmates had begun to alienate me because of this isolation..... Despair, my life was full of despair, and at only seven years old, I even thought about dying.... And the appearance of my brother gave me hope to live until now.... ＂

Have I been in contact with her, Chu Qing, before?

Is it memory loss due to a second personality?

Did I say that my presence gave her hope?

I'm not impressed at all.

"At that time, I thought..... This is love, this must be love.... Hee-hee... ＂

She sat on the railing, put her jade hand over her face, and looked at me shyly, letting out a laugh that made me gasp.

By the way, does my brother still have an impression of what happened that day? ＂

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and asked.

"Sorry, I forgot. ＂

I replied truthfully.

"Forgot... Such an important agreement, my brother actually forgot it..... ＂

She heard my words, lowered her head, and let out a soft whimper from her throat.

I don't know exactly what I forgot, but it must have been quite a blow to her.

It's because of my gaffe to her and my forgetfulness that she has become what she is now.

"Now, Brother Ji Shen, do you know how to make love eternal? ＂

Just when I was thinking about it with some self-reproach, Chu Qing suddenly asked me.

＂...... ＂

I didn't speak.

"It's hard for two people to come together, because this world will constantly bring difficulties and despair..... Even if you get married, love can't be eternal, and in the years to come, there will be deception and betrayal.... Suppose that love can go to the end without flawlessness, it will also end because of the end of the lives of the two....."

She said word by word, and I couldn't argue with it.

"Brother Ji Shen's smile seven years ago has remained unchanged in my memory...... Actually, I sometimes wonder if time stopped forever at that time......."

A flush appeared on her pretty face, and her slender fingers reached into the inside of the black robe.

"So..... Now I want to stay at this time forever—"

She grasped the contents of the black robe, and then, in her closing words—

- "Brother Ji Shen, die with me." ”

In front of my eyes, Senior Sister Chu Qing took out a sharp knife-

The blade glowed with the silver light of the cold moon, and it was the same fruit knife that had cut fruit for me.

A demonic smile appeared on her angelic countenance, a sense of desperation..... Fear rushed through my brain.
