Chapter 3: Reflections in the Mirror

After the sound of the alarm and the emergency evacuation signal, even the bustling area of Tokyo is now in a large silence.

Most of the residents have already gone to the shelter.

At this moment, behind the National University, on the dead street, only the three people who met here were still visible.

Gen Child, Uesugi Koshi, and ...... "Ruri Kazama".

"Long time no see, another me."

It's like looking in a mirror, and the figure with the same appearance as you are right in front of you, which is really a strange experience.

As a party concerned, Yuan Zhinu tilted her head, and there was a bit of nostalgia in her eyes: "How long has it been since the last separation?" Are you still tormented by nightmares now? ”

If you think about it carefully, from meeting Lu Mingfei in a dream, to enrolling in Faos...... In fact, only a short period of time has passed.

But for Yuan Zhinu, everything has been turned upside down and reborn.

"Nightmare? Who remembers that? ”

A sneer appeared on Ruri Kazama's indifferent face: "I thought you were cowardly, but you just disappeared silently in a corner of my heart...... I was glad for a long time of peace. ”

"I didn't expect you to escape quietly, relying on your ability to dream? Or did some miracle help you? ”

Even though it was such a question, Ruri Kazama didn't want to get any answer.

From feeling the attraction in his heart to coming here to meet the source child, he has gradually understood everything.

As long as he wins the next battle, he can say goodbye to his old self completely, and he will no longer have to endure the weak dreams and endless crying.

But...... Who is this old man who looks like a ramen chef next to him?

Ruri Kazama was slightly surprised.

The keen instinct brought by the dragon's blood told him that the old man in front of him, who was not good-looking, had hidden a power in his body that he must also face.

But the pin-and-needle sense of crisis in his brain not only didn't make him feel anxious, but made Ruri Kazama rarely excited.

He rarely encounters an enemy who can be an opponent...... Such an opponent worth savoring is so rare!

Yuan Zhinu was not as excited as him.

The young man with a long ponytail and a girl-like appearance raised his scabbard and introduced Uesugi Yue: "He is the 'Dragon King' of the fierce ghosts, if you name it...... He gave himself a stage name called "Ruri Kazama". ”

"Maybe it's the influence of dragon's blood, or maybe it's something else......"

"He was born from within me and replaced the timid me to this day."

For the other self, the feelings of the source girl are very complicated.

When the original girl was not separated from the body, his spirit could only curl up in the corner of the spirit, watching his other self do all kinds of cruel things...... And Ruri Kazama is also disgusted with his weakness, and enjoys his violence even more.

But to say "hate"......

Not entirely.

Breaking free from the shackles of another self, in her dreams, in the days and nights of Faos, the source girl often thinks about it.

If it weren't for Ruri Kazama, would he have had the courage to face the brother who killed him? To face the world that has completely abandoned him?

The person who knows you best in the world is undoubtedly another self.

When the source girl was in the most pain, it was this cruel self that supported their existence. It was Ruri Kazama who took over the identity of the Dragon King, licking the scars left in his heart that night in the shadows, and gradually growing into an existence that could oppose Gen Zhisheng.

"Kill the female classmates in the class, make their corpses into waxed human figures, and let their expressions freeze in their best moments."

As if she had a heart, Ruri Kazama had a sneer at the corner of her mouth, as if she was sneering at the childish girl: "That day, the person who did that kind of thing...... Is it really me? ”

But it was not his expectation.

The weak other self in the impression was not as aggrieved as a child, nor could he help but redden.

"I don't remember either."

Gen Zhinu shook her head, "But that doesn't matter anymore. ”

What is the point of thinking about who is at fault for what has already happened?

In the cold sound of the bounce, the "Nine Character Determination" in the hand of the source girl was unsheathed. Ruri Kazama also pulled out the long knife at her waist almost at the same time, and the cherry red blade reflected an elegant but bloody light in the air, just like the person.

Even if the two look exactly the same, no one will see them as the same person.

It's not just a difference in clothing, if people's temperament can be quantified as a smell, the smell of Genjumi and Ruri Kazama is completely different, and it goes to an extreme bifurcation.

The former is calm and gentle, while the latter always has a strange coldness and cruelty in his eyebrows and smile.

…… It's like a flower with a knife.

Ruri Kazama gave up thinking about why his other self appeared in front of him in this way, and all he wanted now was to fight, then win, and bury his past weakness completely!

"You have to decide the winner...... That's what you think, too! ”

Ruri Kazama shouted: "Now is the best time for us to completely solve each other, as long as we can win, the winner will get everything!" ”

Yes, the source can also feel it, a kind of "thought" that is close to intuition. They are all like reflections in each other's mirrors, but as long as they can defeat each other, they can become the only master, dominating each other's body, mind, and power...... All!

"Will you win?"

Uesugi was a little worried, but he looked at his two sons again, and he didn't know how to intervene.

But Gen Zhinu didn't intend to let Uesugi get involved in this battle, he just hoped that Uesugi could be a witness to his past immature "trial".

What's more, after decades of waste, even if Uesugi still has the blood of the emperor, most likely he will not be Ruri Kazama's opponent.

"Father, please watch, this is my battle."

Gen Zhinu stretched out her hand and protected the embarrassed Uesugi Goshi behind her.

Seeing the other self doing this, Ruri Kazama suddenly looked at the old man beside him in surprise, and then showed a slightly hideous smile: "...... I really don't know what to say, after leaving for such a long time, your growth is to find a father for yourself? ”

"You'll understand when I win."

The Yuan Zhinu's eyes became extremely awe-inspiring, and her eyes were even dyed a strong red.

In the body of the construct, the artificial dragon blood is circulating at an accelerated pace, and with the deformation of the mechanical structure, several cracks in the position of the limbs are opened one after another. With the urging of the god's name text "Bad Memory", the demon who had already had enough of their mother-in-law let out a strange laugh:

"No past, no memory, nothing compares to a waving claw!"

"Damn, go and tear your nightmare to shreds!"

The blood mist filled the Yuanzhi's side, filling his upright posture with ominous colors. The young man, who has always shown his indifferent and gentle appearance, suddenly showed a demonic smile at this time, and his white teeth were as sharp as sharks:

"Ready...... Go to Hell! ”

Sorry.
