Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

The priests of the shrine are all such a group of guys. They will not directly participate in the affairs of the family, but are responsible for recording everything about the family. They always think that their work is the most important. If a family interrupts the incense and inheritance, the foundation will be cut off. So it is better to say that the chief priest came to Minamoto no Chisei to confirm the time for the files to be put into the warehouse, than to say that he came to Minamoto no Chisei to ask for money... These files were left over during the tenure of Tachibana Masamune. After Minamoto no Chisei became the head of the family, the shrine would update all the files of the family. It is equivalent to the shrine as a notary agency that will record in all the physical archives of the family that there was a head like Minamoto no Chisei in the Snake Eight Families. Only in this way can it enter the family's worship hall and be remembered by future generations.

The files updated by the shrine need to be read and confirmed by Minamoto Chisei and stamped in person. Then the new head of the family will allocate a large amount of public funds to the shrine. If the amount of money is high enough, it will be included in the shrine’s records in the future. The life story of this patriarch will be very "great"... To put it bluntly, it means spending money to buy fame. How much money you spend depends on whether the new patriarch wants to be famous or infamy for eternity.

In fact, this work should have been completed when Yuan Zhisheng first took office, but it was temporarily put on hold because of the war. Now that the war has just ended, these bloody leech-like guys come to Yuan Zhisheng to beg for money, not caring about the family at all. Are your vitality severely damaged in wars and disasters, and do you have any extra money to worship them?

This is also one of the hidden darkness of the family. It has been inherited from ancient times to the present, and Yuan Zhisheng has no good way to change it. It cannot be said that these guys are useless bugs, because they are indeed doing things for the family, but Yuan Zhisheng really doesn’t want to worry about it now. As for the trivial matters at the shrine, he has more important things. It doesn't matter whether those guys describe themselves as a great man or a naive person, but he can't break up with them directly. After all, even Tachibana Masamune treated this priest during his tenure. The supervisors treated each other with courtesy, so they could only act like they were trying their best to solve the family's problems. Of course, the old priest was embarrassed to push too hard. This trick was taught to Yuan Zhisheng by Wu Wu, and it was a combination of the "bitter meat trick" and "Advance through retreat" is said to be inspired by "Thirty-six Strategies" and "The Art of War".

A few minutes after the old priest left, footsteps hurriedly sounded behind him. Yuan Zhisheng glanced at it and covered a red-headed document from his family on the design.

The person who came was a new leader of the Kanto branch to determine the candidate for the minister. During the battle to destroy the "gods", the leaders of the Kanto branch headed by Akechi Asuya betrayed the Snake Qihachi family and turned against Meng. Ghosts, after the war, the entire Kanto branch was severely purged. From the team leader to the team members, the current Kanto branch is full of fresh blood. Only the most important minister's position has not yet been confirmed.

Every team leader is a candidate for minister. Of course, everyone is eager for this position that can sit on equal footing with the head of the family. Different team leaders contact Yuan Zhisheng every day, which is also something that disturbs him. , the establishment of a minister is not something that can be decided overnight, but now that the Sheqiba family is hiring, the position of minister of the Kanto branch is vacant, and the work of the branch has been unable to be carried out, but now the Kanto branch is full of newcomers, and it takes time To determine who can serve as a suitable leader, Ke Yuan's immature character does not allow him to make such an important decision hastily.

Yuan Zhisheng used words similar to those of the old priest to deal with the leader of the Kanto branch who came. Listening to Yuan Zhisheng's praise of his hard work and his youthful achievements, the team leader felt that he had a bright future and that the day when he would become a minister and stand out was just around the corner. Then the team leader saw Yuan Zhisheng's important documents piled up on the chopping board. The red-headed documents of their Kanto branch were placed at the front. He also saw Yuan Zhisheng's frowning face and thin figure. His face was suddenly moved and his heart was moved by this. The young patriarch could not wait to shed tears of gratitude.

The leader of the Kanto branch told Yuan Zhisheng to take care of his health and rest and then left in a hurry. Yuan Zhisheng had just removed the red-headed document from the Kanto branch from the chopping board. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the ninja from the Fengma family came again. Visit soon after.

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and pulled out the Fengmo family's proposal from a large pile of documents. The Fengmo family's ninjas came to ask the parents for suggestions on recruiting elites from the Fengmo family to form a ninja guard team to monitor the internal order of the family. Whether to accept it or not, Yuan Zhisheng sent away the ninjas from the Fengmo family with almost ambiguous words. Not long after the ninjas from the Fengmo family left, the gentle footsteps sounded again behind Yuan Zhisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng pressed his temples. For a moment, he really felt that he should follow his father's advice and buy a ticket to France to escape from here. Otherwise, he would not be dealing with these scheming guys at this time, but It's smearing homemade suntan lotion on a blonde's smooth back and thighs on a nudist beach.

Calculating the time, the lunatics from the Yanliu Research Institute should have come to me at this time to discuss the exchange with the Equipment Department of Kassel College. Minamoto put the approval form from the Yanliu Research Institute at the top, followed by Maruyama. Documents from the construction site, Ryoma's family, and the Menggui clan... If nothing else goes wrong, at least ten people will visit Xingshen Temple today.

"I'm not good at the academic field. Regarding communication matters, I need to discuss them with Minister Miyamoto and Deputy Minister Carl of the Equipment Department before making a decision." Yuan Zhisheng said without looking back, "Leave Japan at Kassel College Before, I would personally sign the documents. The family matters are too complicated, so I will deal with them as soon as possible."

However, what surprised Yuan Zhisheng was that the footsteps did not stop one meter behind him, but came close behind him. Just as Yuan Zhisheng was about to turn around, a pair of soft and slender hands pressed on his. On the shoulders, massage gently.

Those hands are softer and boneless than women, and the massage techniques are comparable to those of a master.

"Brother, you look very tired." A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"Child girl?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned and heard his brother's voice, "Why are you here?"

"On behalf of the Fierce Ghosts, I'm here to ask for the opinions of the parents. In name, I am still the supreme leader of the Fierce Ghosts." The person who came was none other than Fengjian Liuli.

"Isn't Sakurai Kogure always in charge of the affairs of the fierce ghosts?" Minamoto Chisheng said.

Chapter 814 Brothers’ Thoughts

"Actually, I want to come to you." Kazama Liuli smiled, "I told Xiaomu that my brother must be having a headache during this period. If it's because of official business, I shouldn't cause you any trouble during this period."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent. He couldn't refute, because Kazama Ruri was right. Kazama Ruri hadn't met with him in the past few days except for meetings. As the leaders of the two major underworld organizations in Japan, they were very busy these days, but Even so, Kazama Ruri could guess Yuan Zhisheng's state. This younger brother was definitely the person who knew him best.

"There are about ten people waiting to see you outside the door of Xingshen Temple." Fengjian Liuli said softly, "But I have already asked them to leave."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, as if he did not expect that Fengjian Liuli would do such a thing for him, which made Yuan Zhisheng feel at a loss for a moment.

"Anyway, you will send them away when they come, right? Brother, your original intention is not to see them." Kazama Liuli said, "Besides, you are already so tired. Compared with dealing with those people who don't care, brother What you need more now is rest."

"There are always things that cannot be avoided." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head slowly, "You can't feel at ease until the most important things are taken care of."

"I think the most important thing you are talking about, brother, is not referring to the Snake Qiba family itself or the matters with the Fierce Ghosts and Kassel Academy, right?" Kazama Liuli said softly, "Brother is worried. , is it about Eri Yi?"

Yuan Zhisheng was completely stunned. He turned his head and looked at Fengjian Liuli's face in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why the other party suddenly asked such a guess.

"If it was just because of family matters, you would feel tired and tired at most, but I see worry on your face, brother. If it weren't for the people close to you, brother, you wouldn't have such a look." As he said that, Kazama Liuli leaned down and gently opened the Yanliu Research Institute's approval sheet covered by Yuan Zhisheng on the chopping board, revealing a scrawled design drawing of a doll.

Yuan Zhisheng's face changed. He was surprised that his younger brother could understand him to this extent and could see through all his thoughts. At the same time, he felt ashamed because his thoughts were seen... The reason for shame was precisely Because of the design drawing on the desk.

In fact, when the old priest, the leader of the Kanto branch, and the ninjas from the Fuma family came to visit, Minamoto took out the documents of each ministry and put them in front of him. In addition to pretending that it was a family matter and doing everything he could to deal with them leaving early, Another part of the reason is that they are afraid of them seeing this blueprint.

Because this picture was drawn by Yuan Zhisheng himself... but the painter was miserable even to himself.

"Is this a character designed by you yourself, brother?" Kazama Ruri asked softly, "Is it for Eri Yi?"

"It was originally intended to be used at Eri Yi's wedding." Now that it had been seen, Yuan Zhisheng simply admitted it openly.

Eriyi mentioned to Minamoto Zhisheng several times before that the friends she fantasized about include white cats with rabbit ears, broad-eared foxes with butterfly wings, and tortoise-shell swirly chinchillas... Different from Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Tom Cat, they are good friends that all children know, but lonely children always want to have friends that belong only to themselves, so Eriki imagined these special creatures because they are her own They are imagined, so they are your unique best friends and no one can take them away.

In the past, Yuan Zhisheng didn't pay much attention when Eryi talked about it, because he only regarded it as something to pass the time when Eryi was bored, but later when Yuan Zhisheng heard Lu Mingfei talk about the story in the dream, Yuan Zhisheng Minamoto discovered that this was not the case. For Eri, a girl with an extremely poor spiritual world, these imaginary friends were already a rare spiritual sustenance for her. Minamoto felt that she owed this sister too much. Recently, he racked his brains to recall these things and wanted to surprise Eriki on the most important day. This was the most thoughtful compensation he could think of.

He spent a whole morning on this, but only drew a few rough prototypes...perhaps not even prototypes. The animal friends in Eryi's fantasy should all be in a cute and healing style, but Yuan Zhisheng's paintings Feng is closer to the ferocious and novelty-seeking type. Yuan Zhisheng feels that he can't design the look that Eliyi wants, so he is anxious.

Kazama Ruri is right, Yuan Zhisheng is not a mediocre person who will be troubled by the complicated and trivial matters of the family, but his dear sister has a completely different meaning to him. Yuan Zhisheng can also carry big things on his shoulders. He frowned without even frowning, but he would feel incompetent if he couldn't meet Eri's expectations, even though he was now a man who could hold up the entire Japanese underworld on one shoulder.

"But it can't be put to use. It's far from the expected effect." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and shook his head in disappointment, "I admit, I don't have any talent in this area. You can laugh if you want, little girl. Laugh."

"Why are you laughing?" Kazama Ruri's next words were beyond Yuan Zhisheng's expectation, "I think brother, although your paintings are a bit abstract... they still have a sense of design."

"It has a sense of... design?" Yuan Zhisheng was startled.

"Yes, brother, although the lines and expressions you use are very simple, and there is no skill at all, the meaning you want to express is very straightforward and clear at a glance." Kazama Ruri nodded, "It's just that the painting is not beautiful. , but everyone can understand the core of these words, so I say it has a sense of design."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. At first, he thought the other party was making fun of him, but Kazama Ruri's expression looked very serious, and he analyzed Yuan Zhisheng's words from a very professional and rigorous perspective. It didn't sound like he was making fun of him. He was joking, but it didn't look like he was teasing him with irony.

"Young girl, do you really understand these paintings?" Yuan Zhisheng asked tentatively.

"Yes." Kazama Ruri nodded, pointing to a creature with rabbit ears and a long tail, "Hyena, right? I know, I saw it in the 'Animal World' shown in school when I was a kid. It likes to eat carrion. He has quite a fierce personality.”

Yuan Zhisheng's face drooped instantly, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Just kidding, I can understand these paintings." Fengjian Liuli smiled and looked at the black lines on the paper. "The cat has rabbit ears, the fox has butterfly wings, and the chinchilla has strange patterns... right?"

"I actually understand everything!" Yuan Zhi was incredulous, because even he himself was extremely unsure of his own painting skills.

"I was born to be good at acting. Have you forgotten, brother? What acting requires is empathy and a sense of empathy. Only when you completely immerse yourself in a certain role can your acting be enough to resonate with the audience." Kazama Ruri said softly. Said, "I can imagine a lonely girl in a completely closed world, looking forward to someone to accompany her... It doesn't need to be a person, as long as it is a special friend, everyone longs for their own special friend. , it seems that only in this way can we not feel that life is too empty."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent. Indeed, his brother was much better than him in this aspect of empathy. He was born with an aloof and self-centered character, but Zhisheng was different. The boy was delicate and soft, like water, good at capturing others. The emotions can truly enter the inner world of others.

Inexplicably, Yuan Zhisheng thought of the woman named "Miyamoto Noyuki" who was killed by him. That woman spent her last moment touching the last bit of sunshine in her life... Yuan Zhisheng thought about that woman's life. And the way he looked when he died in his own hands, at this moment he seemed to be able to understand Miyamoto Noyuki, and also understand Eri.

"Because Eri is also a 'ghost', but she is easier to control than other 'ghosts'." Kazama Ruri smiled, "But in the end we are all the same thing. We are afraid of loneliness and have to face loneliness. Maybe we were born with this fate, so when I was a kid, brother, you always said that I was sentimental and would cry easily."

"Actually, when I was a child, I also fantasized about this kind of friend, but my fantasy was more concrete than Eriki's, because my world is a little bigger than hers." Ruri Kazama's eyes were full of reminiscence, and he said softly. , "My friends are a Pegasus with huge wings, it has silver scales on its body, and a horn on its head, and a polar bear that is as tall as two people. Its fur is very soft and thick, and it has red eyes. In fact, there are also helicopters that can transform. Because brother, you stole the ranger’s helicopter and took me out once. That night I had a dream, and I dreamed that the helicopter turned into a tall robot, taller than the century-old trees in the forest. …”

Yuan Zhisheng looked at his younger brother's face in astonishment. At this moment, he finally understood why Fengjian Liuli could understand his paintings at a glance. In fact, Fengjian Liuli understood Eriyi's thoughts. At the same time, Yuan Zhisheng's heart He also felt guilty. At this moment, he deeply realized that he was not really a qualified brother. As he said himself, he was too arrogant and too self-centered. He did not have the delicate empathy ability of Minamoto and Eri. Because of Yi's keen perception, he owed not only Eri Yi, but also Minamoto Girl.

"Brother, it's normal that you don't understand, because you are Amaterasu and are born to live in the sun." Kazama Liuli said softly, "Even if you are lonely, you will be lonely and very self-centered, so I have always envied you, but I can’t be you.”

"You don't need to be anyone, little girl, and I'm not worthy of your envy." Minamoto said in a low voice, "No one can escape loneliness, not just you and Eri, in fact, I also fantasize Yes, special friend."

This time it was Kazama Ruri's turn to be stunned.

"When I was a child, I loved watching Ultraman. You may not remember, because I never showed it in front of you. I also secretly bought an Ultraman toy with my lunch money. It was called Ultraman Shikali. It means light. The blue paint is very special among the red Ultraman. The strongest weapon is the knight lightsaber." Yuan Zhisheng whispered an unknown past, "I thought Xi Ultraman Kali is my most special friend, but one day I found that all the children in the class were discussing it. Someone took out a toy that was exactly the same as mine. At that moment, I didn’t seem to like it so much. It was painted blue. It didn't seem that beautiful, because it was not just my friend. When I went back in the evening, I used the paint I brought from school to turn its paint into purple, and folded his knight's lightsaber into a strange shape. "

Fengjian Liuli was very surprised, because he really didn't know about this. It turned out that his always proud brother had such an unknown side.

"Before leaving the town, I hid Ultraman Hikari in the small hole on the side of the house. Do you remember, we used to raise an injured tit there." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Meet you again. I went to check it out that day. To my surprise, Ultraman was still there. The paint I painted had faded, and the original blue paint had become very mottled. The knight's lightsaber had been completely broken. Later, I kept it with me and put it in the bottom of my drawer when I got home.”

"I'm surprised." Kazama Liuli sighed, "I never thought that brother you still have such a side."

"If these things hadn't happened recently, maybe I wouldn't have realized it in my life." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "Maybe I have realized it, but I have been unwilling to admit it."

"What made you change?" Kazama Liuli asked.

"It was my father who enlightened me. At his ramen stall, I realized that there are many things in this world that are more important than so-called responsibilities and positions." Yuan Zhisheng said, "The people you care about, and the people who care about you."

"As long as you have this heart, what else do you need to worry about? I believe Eriyi can feel your heart." Kazama Ruri said.

"There's no way I could give these terrible paintings to Hui Liyi at her wedding and tell her that these are my feelings, right?" Yuan Zhisheng spread out the design drawings.

"Is this going to be made?" Kazama Ruri said, "Can I try it? I think I roughly understand the idea of ​​Eriyi. It just so happens that I don't know how to express my joy, so I talked to her No more than ten sentences.”

Yuan Zhisheng gave up his position, and Fengjian Liuli leaned over the desk. The twisted and ferocious lines originally drawn by Yuan Zhisheng gradually became softer and smoother under Fengjian Liuli's pen. An ordinary pencil was in his hand. It seemed that it had become a tool for painting dreams. Looking at this miraculous painting technique, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes widened in disbelief... Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was better than Yuan Zhisheng in every subject. Including sports, but only in art and vocal music, Minamoto Young Girl gets perfect scores every time without exception.

Ten minutes later, Fengjian Liuli finished writing. He took the greatly changed design and pushed it in front of Yuan Zhisheng: "Is this all right?"

Gen Zhisheng was dumbfounded. He had to wonder whether the brother and sister Minamoto Zhisheng and Eri Yi had a spiritual connection, because the scene that Eri Yi once told him was perfectly engraved on the paper by Kazama Ruri... Yuan Zhisheng didn't think that his poor and messy threads would be of much help.

Chapter 815 Great Friend of Justice

"Young girl, you becoming a kabuki actor is really a great loss to the Japanese manga industry." Minamoto said sincerely to Kazama Ruri's drawings.

This is what can be called a "design drawing". In comparison, the rough and sloppy lines I drew are like balls of yarn that have been torn and ravaged by a naughty crazy cat.

"Brother, your performance is too exaggerated." Kazama Ruri smiled and shook her head, "This is probably my second hobby after kabuki, because I design many of the costumes for the performances myself, so I use In my spare time, I went to Toyonaka City in Osaka Prefecture to visit Mr. Osamu Tezuka and asked him about painting techniques.”

"Thank you, young girl, for your talent in this area, otherwise I would have had a headache. After all, I don't want the rest of the family to know about the idea of ​​helping Eri design these things before the wedding." Yuan Zhisheng said to Kazama Ruri. The finished sketch was carefully put away, "I will notify the design department. If we work at full speed, three days is enough. Your design is great, I believe Eriyi will like it."

"Brother, you are really kind to Eriyi." Kazama Ruri said softly.

The expression on Yuan Zhisheng's face froze for a moment. When he heard Fengjian Liuli's words, he felt a burst of sadness in his heart for no reason... Fengjian Liuli's voice was too soft, as if he was talking to himself, and it sounded like Talking in his sleep, Yuan Zhisheng was not sure whether there was jealousy or loneliness in the other person's tone. He glanced at Fengjian Liuli's face and subconsciously avoided the other person's eyes.

"I'm sorry." After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhisheng said to Fengjian Liuli.

"Brother, you don't need to apologize. I don't mean to blame you." Kazama Ruri shook her head, "It's not wrong to be nice to my sister. After contacting her, I realized that Eriki is indeed a sensible girl."

"It's not to Eri Yi, it's to you, child." Yuan Zhisheng said, "I admit, before I knew that Eri Yi was our biological sister, I would occasionally see your shadow in her body. So I wanted to treat her twice as well, but in the end I didn't do it right. I feel guilty for you and for Eri Yi. I shouldn't treat Eri Yi as your substitute. It's unfair to both of you."

"I really don't mean to blame you now, I'm telling the truth." Kazama Ruri still shook her head, "I also admit that I was once jealous of Eri. I was mentally unbalanced. I felt that my brother killed me, but let me That fake girl took my place, and she is enjoying the favor that my brother should have given me. I wish she could go to hell."

Feng Jian Liuli paused. When he said these words again, there was no longer ghost-like resentment between his eyebrows, but a faint self-mockery. His tone was gentle and shallow, and he seemed to have truly let go. Let go of the unwillingness and grudge of the past.

"Later, when I met Lu Jun, I realized how childish and ridiculous my thoughts were, because no matter what fate my brother and I each faced, that girl was always innocent." Kazama Liuli reflected deeply, "Really What made me fall into a 'ghost' was not the bewitchment of the general or Miyamoto Noyuki's medicine, but my sick and twisted psychology of being jealous of Eriki, resenting her, and even cursing her."

Yuan Zhisheng listened quietly to Fengjian Liuli's words. Not only had Fengjian Liuli never seen the truly honest side of Yuan Zhisheng, this was also the first time that he had truly entered the heart of his younger brother after a long absence. world.

"I always thought that I was a kid who would always follow my brother. I never thought that I would have something like a sister." Kazama Ruri smiled helplessly, "After knowing that Eri is also my biological sister, I don't know why I should feel guilty. I should still regret it. In fact, I should have apologized to Eriki a long time ago, but I don’t know how to say it, and I don’t know how to compensate her.”

"Young girl, you haven't really done anything to Eri Yi, and you don't owe her anything." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "Eri Yi doesn't have any prejudice against you. You will always have opportunities to get along in the future. If you want I am the one who makes amends, whether it is you, the young girl, or Eri, you are all victims."

"If you say that, brother, you are also a victim. The real villain is Herzog, and now he has probably fallen into hell." Kazama Ruri looked at Yuan Zhisheng's serious look, "Brother, you don't have to blame yourself too much. , at least there is one thing you have been doing well."

"What?" Yuan Zhisheng raised his head in confusion.

"At least brother, you are a qualified law enforcer and the legitimate young master of the Sheqiba family. We are our father's children. At least you are worthy of your own family, your status and the responsibility that your fate has given you." Feng Ma Liuli looked into Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, "You are different from me and Eri's personality. Brother, you are the most special among us. You are Amaterasu, a person born in the sun."

"Actually, the people in the Fierce Ghosts are quite afraid of you. Those guys will curse whoever they fear in private. Brother, you and the king are the most cursed by them." Kazama's joking tone was mixed with pride, " When they talk about you, they say, 'That young, powerful bastard law enforcer from the Bureau who devoted his life to pursuing justice.'"

"They curse you and fear you at the same time. Every time I hear someone talking about you, my heart is touched. At that time, I resented you but couldn't help but feel proud. This is a very contradictory mentality. I On the surface, I don’t show any emotion, but in my heart, I say that the person you all fear and respect is my brother. It’s amazing. We grew up together. My brother has really realized his ideal and became a prominent person in the big city of Tokyo. Big shot." Kazama Ruri said to Yuan Zhisheng, "So brother, you are a qualified leader. My father also said that you are much better than what he did back then. Your strength and justice are facts that have to be recognized. You After joining the Executive Bureau, the most proud elite force of the Menggui has been repeatedly frustrated, and the Executive Bureau's brand is shining brightly because of your presence."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. Because of Fengjian Liuli's words, he never thought that his brother's feelings for him would be so complicated. Yuan Zhisheng originally thought that in the past ten years, he would have become a cold-blooded and cruel villain in his brother's eyes. , is the object that must be killed with revenge, because Yuan Zhisheng still remembers how painful and unbelievable his expression was when he stabbed the knife into the boy's chest. When he fell into the dry well, the crying eyes showed , how helpless, resentful and desperate she is towards her own feelings.

Would you be proud of such a brother...a brother who would not hesitate to kill your brother who has always loved you and believed in you in the name of justice?

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. It was like taking off a mask that had been tightly fastened on his face for ten years. Under the mask, a tired and languid look appeared on the handsome and somewhat feminine face. He was completely different from the high-spirited law enforcement brother whom Kazama Ruri admired in his words.

"When we were kids, all boys wanted to be friends of justice, and I was no exception. I just told you, little girl, I bought a model of Ultraman Hikari." After a long silence, Gen Chisheng suddenly spoke, revealing a childhood secret. "Remember? One New Year's Day school performance, I went on stage and sang Ultraman's theme song... 'Hit's not enough, hit's not enough, one flying kick knocks three down, don't even think about flying away.' Who will fight for freedom for the universe? Who will loyally defend the world? It's you, my great friend of justice!"

What a weird atmosphere! The patriarch of a mafia family is singing the theme song of Ultraman, which he learned from TV when he was a child, on the terrace of the family base, Awakening Temple. His younger brother, the former leader of the Oni Clan, is listening to him and occasionally chiming in with a line or two of the lyrics... Kazama Ruri is the most promising Kabuki actor in Japan, and she is absolutely professional when it comes to singing the accompanying songs.

After Yuan Zhisheng finished singing, Fengjian Liuli clapped gently.

"You sang so well, brother, of course I remember, everyone was impressed, because everyone loved watching Ultraman at that time, and you were the best kid in the school. You went on stage to sing Ultraman's theme song, regardless of the boy. The girls are all looking at you." Kazama Ruri said, "Brother, didn't you tell me that the teacher suggested you put on a show? Because you got first place in the school in the final exam, the teacher arranged a separate show for you on New Year's Day. .”

"The teacher asked me to go on stage, but it was my suggestion to sing Ultraman's theme song. I asked the teacher to keep it a secret for me, but I was embarrassed to tell you at the time." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "Ultraman said they were justice I imagine that I am a friend of Ultraman, and I am also a friend of justice. No matter how powerful and evil the villain is, he will be defeated by the righteous Ultraman one day. This is how it was played in every episode on TV when I was a kid. , so I firmly believe it.”

Kazama Liuli nodded somewhat unexpectedly: "Brother, why do you suddenly say these things?"

"I have ridiculed Caesar before, saying that he is a boy with chuunibyou who has not grown up yet, but Caesar said that my chuunibyou was more serious than his, but I thought it was better to hide it deeper." Yuan Zhi paused. Dun, "Actually, Caesar is right. I haven't gotten rid of my chuunibyou until I grew up. Every time I hold the knife, I imagine that I am a friend of justice. No matter how powerful or evil the enemy is, I can't escape the sanctions of justice." .”

Kazama Liuli finally understood what Yuan Zhisheng wanted to express. He was silent for a moment and then asked: "So, brother, you have this belief and killed one 'ghost' after another to carry out your justice." What?"

"Yes, this belief made me strong, until one day I met the most special 'ghost', who was my younger brother." Yuan Zhisheng's voice was full of fatigue, "I was also very scared at that moment. You know, little girl, looking at your familiar face, I feel like my world is about to collapse. How could my brother be an evil murderer? I don’t know how to choose, because that’s not the case in Ultraman. Acting, but in the end for justice, I killed my brother."

"I don't know if I regret it, but from that night, I often have nightmares. I dream of your shriveled and pale face under the dry well, asking me why. Your eyes are bleeding, and your lips are bleeding. I always start from the dream. I woke up with a start, my pillow was soaked with cold sweat. It's not that I'm afraid, I just think you must be very cold and painful like that." Yuan Zhisheng walked to the railing and looked at the entire Tokyo from Xingshen Temple, "Maybe becoming a big shot is not what I really want to do. Yes, what is played in Ultraman may not be true. I think so, and from that day on, I felt that I was no longer a friend of justice."

"So this is why you are so tired, brother. It's not because of trivial family matters." Kazama Liuli asked.

"It's because of the family's expectations." Yuan Zhisheng said, "The executive bureau I lead is the generation most promising to destroy the fierce ghosts. This is also the family's expectation of me. But since that rainy night, every time I kill someone, Ghost', your shadow appears in my mind unconsciously. Sometimes the killed ghost looks at me with sad and desperate eyes. I always feel that you are asking me why. I don't even think of Sakura and Crow. I never said that, gradually, I began to become confused, but once the hand holding the knife hesitates, people will become weak, I do not allow myself to become weak, and would rather let myself become tired."

"Lu Jun once said that you are a proud, self-denying and paranoid person. You are always strong but always contradictory, because your soul always carries the sadness and loneliness of Bushido." Kazama Ruri said.

"What an accurate description, very poetic." Yuan Zhisheng said unexpectedly, "Is this really what Lu Mingfei said?"

"These are Lu Jun's exact words." Fengjian Liuli nodded, "Lu Jun has incredible abilities, as you know, brother."

"I'm just curious about why Lu Mingfei talked about me to you." Yuan Zhisheng changed the subject, "I'm not telling you these things to ask for your forgiveness. Will you resent me for being yours?" It's okay, but the cause and effect of apologizing need to be explained clearly. Maybe there is a lonely child living in everyone's heart, so you don't have to think that I can't understand you and Eriki, because I'm not as strong as I seem, I also had an imaginary friend, the righteous and powerful Ultraman."

"What Lu Jun said is really accurate. He told me that brother, you will definitely come to me to apologize. It is my freedom not to forgive you. Moreover, Lu Jun also told me the ending of the two of us in the story of his dream." Kazama Liuli said softly, "I killed you with the 'Dream Tapir', then regretted it and cried bitterly. In the end, we hugged and died deep in the red well."

He walked to Yuan Zhisheng's side and stood side by side with Yuan Zhisheng. In front of the two brothers was the city of Tokyo where hundreds of businesses were waiting to be prospered.

"It's such a miserable ending. It does sound like a samurai." Yuan Zhisheng said softly, "But I'm not surprised."

"So brother, if you want to apologize, I will not stop you, but you no longer need to ask for my forgiveness." Kazama Liuli said, "You kill me once, and I will kill you once, so we are even. "

Yuan Zhisheng turned to look at Fengjian Liuli, with a sly smile in those familiar eyes. Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment and then smiled and shook his head. The ten years of estrangement between the two brothers seemed to have disappeared silently when they looked at each other and smiled.

"Is Eriyi's wedding scheduled for five days?" Kazama Ruri asked.
