Chapter Ninety-Six: The Same Eternity
Due to the clear clues, and the IQ of the members who participated in the game was basically above the horizontal line, in the end, the scorpion was successfully identified by most people as the murderer.
Only Dida and Chiyo pointed to others.
"Huh!? Is it Sister Scorpion?! When the results were revealed, Dida was surprised. Chiyo, on the other hand, had already guessed the murderer, but insisted that she did not identify the scorpion.
I can see that when it came to the final vote, she hesitated for a long time, as if she was considering whether to find the murderer as the first priority according to the tasks given by the game, or to protect her son according to the character setting.
In the end, she chose to "believe" in her "son" until the end.
Or, knowing that "he" has done everything and has decided to protect him.
And when the game was over, the scorpion stopped me: "Itachi, come out for a moment." β
Confused, I got up and followed her into the backyard, and was about to ask if there was anything to find me, when she stopped and turned around, "You, do you have any task on me?" β
ββ¦β¦ What? β
"You've done a lot of superfluous things." The scorpion said very directly: "Why do you want to do such a thing? Why did you bring Chiyo here? Don't you want me to work for you? Why...... I feel like you're trying to ease my relationship with the Sand Hidden Village? β
"I didn't want you to ease your relationship with Shayin Village. I just thought you might be able to meet Chiyo-senpai. β
"That's why I asked you, why do you do this kind of thing?" The scorpion stared at me tightly: "Don't you think you're meddling?" β
She said I was "nosy", and for a moment, I really couldn't refute it. After a long silence, I said, "...... Maybe it's just because I want to know...... How different the world can become. β
"Who wants to know? You? Or are you guys? The scorpion said, "Did you decide to keep me and Dida from the beginning?" I don't think so. You weren't prepared to leave me at first. But then you changed your mind β did someone stop you? You are not the only one on the other side, since you can become four generations of Hokage...... Is it possible to become me in another world? β
ββ¦β¦β
"I want to meet her."
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that the scorpion thought that I had left her and Dida and found Chiyo because of another request of my own - after all, if it was Uchiha Itachi, there was really no position at all, and there was no reason to do so.
If this can make the scorpion feel that she can give more trust and make her feel more secure, I thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay." β
Handoff.
[Akatsuki Red Sand Scorpion], debut!
I was still a little hesitant before, whether to use [Xiao Red Sand Scorpion] or [Hundred Machines Drill Red Sand Scorpion]. But thinking about it, the appearance of [Hundred Machines Performing - Red Sand Scorpion], standing with a female scorpion with a bare body, is really still a little inappropriate.
And seeing that the Uchiha Itachi disappeared in place, replaced by a young man with a delicate appearance, short red hair, wearing a Xiao robe, and a cold expression, the scorpion was slightly stunned: "...... You...... Sure enough, it's also a man? β
She had some guesses from the comparison between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Kite, but she still couldn't confirm that when she asked me just now, she still used the feminine pronoun - "I want to meet her".
At this moment, I really saw the gender difference with my own eyes, and I felt a ...... Inexplicable shock.
Her clear brown eyes reflected my appearance at the moment.
I didn't speak.
And the scorpion stared at me, and his eyes, which had always been cold, suddenly became a little more hot: "Your body...... Have you become a puppet? β
For some reason, I suddenly felt some signs of something bad, but I couldn't figure out why for a while, so I had to take a step at a time and answer truthfully: "Hmm." β
"Let me see." Then the scorpion finished speaking in an unquestioning tone, and reached out to untie my robe.
Me: "??? β
This sudden movement made me subconsciously take a step back and frown.
"How?" The scorpion looked puzzled, "What's not to do?" β
I found out that they, I mean, scorpions and kites, all seem to have a sense that the other world is the only one who can understand them, and therefore they are extremely defenseless, and very easily feel that there is no distance or boundaries between them.
Therefore, the kite can propose to Itachi without any scruples, hoping that they can have a child together, which is equivalent to asking for herself - asking for help from herself is a matter of course.
And for Scorpion, her proudest work is undoubtedly herself. Since she can transform herself into a puppet because "eternal beauty is true art", it is impossible not to be interested in the "most perfect work" made by another self.
- The other one I must be able to understand me, so I don't need to explain too much.
"I" want to see "my own" body, what is there to be afraid of?
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but have a headache, and it was precisely because I understood this that I couldn't think of a suitable reason to reject the scorpion for a while.
- What should I say to make Scorpion feel justified by my refusal?
While I was frowning and trying to turn my brain, the scorpion had already taken a step forward, leaned in front of me, and unzipped the robe with great skillβ
She's been wearing this dress much longer than I do, so she's more familiar with it than I am.
The robe quickly parted, revealing my body. Speaking of which, doesn't the Red Sand Scorpion actually wear a piece of clothing in the robe!?
At this point, I had to stabilize my expression and pretend that I didn't care, and I wasn't ready to run away at that moment.
The scorpion looked at me with a look of curiosity and amazement, and her gaze went all the way down, from her chest to her waist and abdomenβthe traces of her transformation were clearly visible. It's not like a human body, it's more like a machine.
Ordinary people only seem to feel terrifying and weird, but the scorpion is like an archaeologist rubbing a national treasure, focused and fiery.
"It's really 'me'...... This kind of craftsmanship is enough to match me. β
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I just wanted to wrap myself tightly in my clothes as soon as possible.
At this moment, I miss Hinata so much for her conservative long-sleeved pants - how safe!
ββ¦β¦ Is it? β
I was just a perfunctory echo without words, but I was caught off guard as if I was questioned by a scorpion, and the red-haired girl raised her eyebrows, and reached out to pick up the black clothes on her body.
When she went out on a mission, she naturally couldn't wear a kimono or a Xiao robe, so Konoha provided a battle outfit. However, she has a special identity, so she can't use Konoha's standard uniform, and she doesn't have a sand hidden uniform, so she can only be the largest black mesh top.
The girl's skin is fair and bloodless, and the black clothes reflect each other, and the contrast is more black and white.
Seeing that she was about to pull her clothes to her chest, I subconsciously turned my face away.
"How?" The scorpion was stunned.
ββ¦β¦ I don't want to see it. β
"Why?" As if feeling that his proudest craftsmanship had been denied, the scorpion's tone unconsciously brought a little annoyance: "My transformation technology is no worse than yours!" β
"You're a woman. Don't do this kind of casual thing about lifting up your clothes. β
Hearing this, ......the scorpion suddenly paused. She blinked, as if she didn't realize what I meant for a moment. "You ......"
She couldn't help but laugh suddenly.
"Is the 'me' of the other world actually this kind of character?"
She smiled brightly, like a red camellia blooming in the winter snow. "I really didn't expect it!"
"Look at me."
She reached out and pressed the other side of my face and turned my face back.
I frowned, but my eyes could only meet hers.
The scorpion seemed to find it very amused, and looked at me with a smile. It was like the first time I'd ever seen her smile.
She and Kite are both types that rarely smile. However, although the kite does not smile often, her eyebrows and eyes are now much gentler, and her expression is even softer.
The scorpion has always been cold, and with its gorgeous appearance, it looks like a thorny rose.
And the smile of the kite, if it is as elusive as an illusory epiphany, the smile of the scorpion is like ...... Fireworks on a summer night.
It's not very common, it only lasts for a moment, but it can make a deep impression.
I looked at her fixedly, and she looked at me fixedly.
After a few moments, she lowered her head, took my hand, and pressed it against the word "scorpion" on her chest.
As soon as my scalp exploded, before my body could make any movements, I withdrew my hand when I heard the scorpion calmly say, "My body is no different from yours." β
In a tone that seemed to be talking not about her own body, but about some inanimate material, such as wood, such as copper and iron, she said, "A woman's boobs are very much in the way, so when I was transforming, I disposed of them." β
Me: "......"
I was speechless for a while. Seeing that I was silent, her gaze slowly fell from my face to my chest, which was blocked by Xiao's robe.
The scorpion raised his hand, gently lifted my clothes, stared at the word "scorpion" that was almost exactly the same as hers, and silently put it on.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "In this world...... Only the two of us are the same eternity...... It is the most perfect creation...... Why didn't you come out to see me until now? β
