It's just that there is a lot of pressure on those who are forced to make choices.

The characters who are face-to-face alone create a strong sense of tension and throw difficult questions at them.

And depending on the choice, the end may be a dead end.

Lin Yu trembled his lips timidly, as if he had something to say but couldn't say.

Surprisingly, the person who broke this stalemate was actually Lan Yang.

She didn't change her usual confused look and said, "I want to follow Ye Ya." ”

The answer was so clear and decisive that even others couldn't help but be stunned.

There is no deliberate excitement, no timidity, and no trace of confusion.

“…… Blue Sun. ”

Ye Ya's voice seemed to tell that he didn't know what expression to put on to face her.

"And I'm Xia Jing's sister."

Lan Yang walked towards Xia Jing, squatted down, and put his hand on his head and smiled.

"I'm going to be on Xia Jing and Ye Ya's side."

"Blue Sun...... Senpai. ”

That's when —

"Cluck, cluck......"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter that sounded like patience was on the verge of limiting.

"Hmph, I thought the puppet had learned to think with his brain, but it seems that I overestimated you."

"I'm not a puppet."

Lan Yang got up from the ground and looked directly at Nangong.

"No, you're a puppet."

After Nangong pursed his lips-

"If it were your sister, Sister Ya would choose this way, wouldn't she? It was so much fun, it was so enjoyable."

Somehow, she turned her head to face Ye Chun with a smug expression.

"Hey, Ye Chun. I don't know what Sister Ya will choose?"

- What?

Xia Jing involuntarily looked up at Nangong.

Why did Nangong mention her sister's name?

Why did she talk to Ye Chun about this?

「…… Yes."

Ye Chun lowered his head slightly, and then raised his head again.

She turned to Anai and said, "What would you choose? Ya, no...... Ana."

"Yes."

Anai replied.

"Ana, follow, Miss."

She is facing - Ye Chun.

"Ya...... Ya?"

Xia Jing felt as if his heart had stopped beating.

Elegant?

What is she talking nonsense. Anai is obviously -

Lose all your memories of life and serve as a prop for the Deer Clan.

And Anai was originally Ye Chun's property.

I remember that Anai himself said-

She was originally Ye Chun's friend, but after her death, she became-

「…… Liar."

Lan Yang's expression revealed a wavering that had not been seen so far.

"Anai is Sister Ya? No way...... Because the sound ......"

The sound is not the same.

Lan Yang kept repeating the same remarks as if he wanted to grasp the only remaining hope, but Nangong mercilessly made up for it: "Ah, that's right. I forgot that you didn't actually meet her, so you can only judge by the voice!"

The words she said next were also cruel to Xia Jing's ears.

"But, Lan Yang. Cluck...... She wasn't breathing, her vocal cords were lifeless, and she wasn't emotional. As a result, her voice and way of speaking will become completely different from when she was alive. The voice you heard through the wall...... It has long ceased to exist in this world."

"Sister?"

Natsu asked Anai in despair.

"Are you...... Sister?"

Xia Jing's situation is not much better than that of Lan Yang. Xia Ya disappeared eight years ago, and almost all the remaining photos were disposed of by his parents, and now he can barely remember what his sister looked like.

Therefore, after Xia Jing learned that Anai is Ya in front of him, it was even more difficult for him to accept this fact than Lan Yang.

"I'm sorry, Keisuke-sama."

Ana's attitude is no different from usual.

"Ana, there is no memory of his life. But ......"

However, that attitude-

「…… Ana, whose name before her death, seems to be Charya, yes."

At the same time, it also uses the most incomparable coldness - putting the irreparable cruel reality in front of Xia Jing's eyes.

"Hey, son-in-law. What's there to be sad about?"

Nangong let out a delicate and flattering voice and smiled at Xia Jing.

The tone seemed flattering, but in fact it was contemptuous. Not right-

"Anyway, you don't have much of an impression of her - you've forgotten all about her looks and voice, haven't you? Look, you've been with her for so long, and you haven't found out that she's your sister, so what can you change if you're angry or sad over there? Cluck...... This means that your sister is only a little bit important to you, so why sigh from the bottom of your heart?"

That was obviously sarcasm, or even harsh.

Xia Jing couldn't refute it, and acquiesced to her statement in her heart.

- This is punishment.

Xia Jing's sister, who was trying every possible way to find out her whereabouts, now appears in front of her.

No, it's been around for a while.

But Xia Jing didn't notice Ana's identity at all and lived a peaceful life. Not only that, but he also shouted indignantly, "I want to find out my sister's murderer", "I want to find out my sister's whereabouts" and other big words.

Nangong was really right.

I'm a funny clown.

Angry that my sister's body was being used by others? Grieving that my sister has been dead for a long time? Don't be stupid, where did I get that qualification?

She is my own sister.

She's obviously the one I love the most.

Why would I forget her face? Eight years, we haven't seen each other for eight years. If I really value my sister as much as I say, it stands to reason that her appearance will be deeply imprinted in my memory.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

The field of vision blurred unconsciously.

Tears poured out of my eyes, and I couldn't stop it.

"I'm sorry...... I ......."

Anai - the corpse of Xia Jing's sister was not answered.

No anger, no crying, no smiling. just glanced at Xia Jing expressionlessly.

Just an hour ago, what was once a pleasing poker face is now feeling sad.

"Why am I ...... Why ......"

"Don't take it personally, Xia Jing."

With a soft voice, a person hugged Xia Jing from behind.

It's Ye Chun.

"Charya was already sick. That's why I took her in and took care of her, and then turned her into a corpse when she died...... This is also Charya's own wish."

- Sister, she volunteered?

In this way, Lan Yang has said something similar.

My sister seems to be having a good time in the village. At least that's how she feels when she sings poetry.

There are several suspicious things about Ye Chun's statement.

Although she claims that Charya is sick, there is no way to confirm the authenticity. In Xia Jing's impression, the number of times my sister was sick in bed was only a handful. Besides, even if she is really sick, her sister will not say goodbye to her family. Once you start to calculate, doubts will emerge one after another.

However, for Xia Jing, his own memory is no longer worth it, after all, he has even forgotten what his sister looks like. How can the memory in that kind of irresponsible brain be trusted, it is better to take Ye Chun's words as they are, right?

"Lan Yang, let me ask you again, what about your decision?"

Ye Chun gently let go of Xia Jing and turned back to face Lan Yang.

"Charya has already said she wants to follow me. If you will take refuge, I promise you one thing."

Lan Yang couldn't answer.

"Sister Ya...... Summer ......"

She usually never writes her feelings on her face, but now she is embarrassed at a glance.

She must have lost her mind. What should I do? What do you want to do? The relationship has been sealed for many years, and she is now unable to deal with complex emotions.

At this time, Xia Jing was powerless to care about her.

For a moment, silence reigned in time.

After a while, Ye Chun, who decided that Lin Yu and Lan Yang could not answer, spoke quietly: "...... Can't make a decision?"

There was no hint of disappointment or joy in his tone, as if he were making a serious judgment about the current situation.

"There's no way, then you can go down to the Yellow Spring with Ye Ya."

The sword stabbed forward horizontally.

A bright red blood-colored glow began to wrap around the blade.

The sword is wailing.

The sound was clearer than when the sword had been fashioned into a chainsaw.

Lin Yu and Lan Yang couldn't resist. The taboo of not being allowed to disobey the patriarch is stronger than the danger of life, and it dominates their body and mind.

Ah, a thought flashed through Xia Jing's mind-

Everyone present will be killed except me.

I have to try to help everyone get out of trouble, but Xia Jing can't think of a way. Because the regret and guilt generated by Ye Chun and his sister dominated the body, even the nerves resisted the command to act.

The sword was first slowly raised upwards towards Lin Yu.

Just when Xia Jing desperately wanted to act, ready to catch Ye Chun and wanted to delay-

An unexpected figure lends a hand.

"Keep people under the knife."

Although there was a desperate and somewhat solemn atmosphere at the scene, Qiu Yin interrupted as if nothing was there.

She emerges from behind a tree that has been hidden for a long time. Ye Chun, who raised his sword, Lin Yu, Lan Yang, Nangong, Xia Jing, who was stunned, all turned their heads to face Qiu Yin in unison.

That scene was really funny, and Jiao Qiuyin couldn't help but almost laugh. It's just that Qiu Yin was a little dissatisfied that Ye Ya was the only one among the crowd who didn't react, and he turned his head slowly after everyone took a beat.

Aren't you my rival? What the hell are you in a trance?

Qiu Yin, who thought about it like this, glanced at Ye Ya, I don't know if she understood the meaning of this look.

Autumn Yin found the battlefield just as the weapon was about to be destroyed. Although Li Qi knew that the flute sound played by Nangong was a signal to join Ye Ya, the two immediately set off. Unfortunately, the forest area is vast, and it took longer than expected to reach it. Anyway, it's just too late to catch up with the critical moment.

Since then, the two have been hiding from afar.

The true face of the treasure.

Ye Chun's survival and the truth of the rebellion.

And Ye Chun's purpose -

As for the ability to connect large and small, Qiu Yin had already mastered this information in advance. After all, Ah Le used the sword to heal the injury that had tormented her for seventeen years in front of Qiu Yin.

and poor Yeya who was played with by them.

It's a comical and absurd feast hosted by a monster among monsters.

However, there is one thing in Qiu Yin's eyes that still shows a fly in the ointment -

That was Ye Chun's purpose.

Summer view. For him, just to marry him, Ye Chunce painted all this.

In other words, the banquet held by the monster within the monster, the protagonist is only a human being, which is unforgivable. It is this that Qiu Yin is dissatisfied with.

The monster should be like a monster, dancing obediently in the cemetery at night, why should it show its head in front of the eyes of humans?

The only person who is qualified to do this, who can show his figure generously in front of humans, who can mingle with humans, is me, a monster who was born as a human. It's not an out-of-the-earth monster.

That's right.

How can I give Xia Jing and my beloved - to these monsters.

"You're too much for me."

Qiu Yin said, "...... You see you're leaving me aside, sneaking up on something good? Nangong, didn't you put me along? I never thought this would be your purpose."

However, Qiu Yin still adheres to the attitude of being a "Ah Le's daughter".

Nangong and Ye Chun may have known that Qiu Yin was a human for a long time. However, it stands to reason that they will not know what Qiu Yin's plans are and what the purpose of his actions is.

Qiu Yin's style of doing things has been consistent all the way. It is not easy for people to see through the spiritual structure of the existence of Autumn Yin. When it comes to deception - monsters can't win over humans.

"Acting as a family...... You've been acting in the shadows since the beginning, haven't you? He even did not hesitate to sacrifice his friend Adai, and worked tirelessly to become the patriarch."

「…… Qiu Yin, what are you doing?"

Nangong cast a sharp gaze.

"Didn't you promise me not to come?"

"Oh, that's your unilateral decision, and I didn't accept it."

Qiu Yin responded to Nangong's murderous aura with his own expression, and said in a harsh tone, "Besides, the description 'you promised me not to come' is not quite correct, right? You don't want me to come. Because once I let me know Ye Chun's love for Xia Jing...... I'm not going to sit idly by."

Qiu Yin smiled.

Smile brightly.

With it is hatred that even I am not aware of—that I can't understand because I haven't experienced it.

"I see, what you said really makes sense, Nangong. The ...... of the World What distorts this world is undoubtedly love, yes. Ye Chun's love for Xia Jing's classmate distorted everything and made everything out of control. Not only ruined the deer clan, but also ruined the summer scene. What an amazing cruel romance of love."

Qiu Yin glanced at Ye Chun.

She put on a face that she couldn't watch her feelings and stared coldly at Qiu Yin. Hui Huang's gaze makes it impossible to associate with that childish appearance. After all, in terms of age, she is still older than Qiu Yin, and it may be normal for her mind to be far more mature than her appearance, but that wise and high-pressure attitude makes Qiu Yin feel like she saw herself when she was a child.

Ye Chun opened his mouth and said, "Autumn Yin...... What are your intentions?"

Qiu Yin only replied briefly, "Truce and fight again."

She smiled again at Ye Chun, who frowned in surprise, and then, she used a blender to combine the full of deception and provocation, and then shake and mix it evenly, and then carefully concocted mean words, and coldly sprinkled Ye Chun: "This situation is not fair at all. Xia Jing has lost his cool, you are now taking advantage of others. If you can't capture his heart without such vile methods, then you are proving by your own deeds that your heart is false at best. You're not happy to see that, are you?"

"Are you fooling me?"

Ye Chun glared coldly as expected, that face full of majesty and coldness was indeed terrifying. It's understandable that ordinary people just tremble to stiff their legs - if they are ordinary people.

"Fool? It's nothing. Now that you claim to be the patriarch of the Deer Clan, I know that you don't care about that kind of despicable behavior at all. But what...... Well, if the dignity of the deer patriarch allows you to use that dirty means to capture a man's heart, that's a different story."

However, Qiu Yin is not an ordinary person.

In the past 17 years of her life, she has always been on the side of fear.
