Chapter 196

(Two chapters combined into one chapter)

dark
混沌
When Kino opened his eyes with difficulty, he found that everything in front of him had changed. He was still in Twilight City just now, but now he could see countless arrays of giant pillars imprisoning him, and there was scarlet everywhere, even himself was stained. same color.

The world is soaked in scarlet, and the earth is blurred. If you look at it from a high place, you will think that there are countless buildings, but you will find that it is a cage of different heights. The fence is covered with rust marks, just like the prison where prisoners were imprisoned in the old century. .

A faint scarlet mist diffused to the end of the world, and a dark square sun hung high, bursting with thorn-like black light, becoming the only color in this world other than scarlet.

There are only old stone bricks on the ground, and at first glance, the field of vision is blocked by a tall cage within ten meters, and no flowers, plants, water and trees can be seen, and there is no life in the world.

This scarlet world composed of elements such as black sun, red fog, cubes, and iron windows is like a big contradictory castle in a black fairy tale. There is no order and rules at all, and it is full of weird atmosphere everywhere, which only makes people feel dull and depressed, as if in the air. All that floats are restless factors.

Kino tried to get up, but found that he couldn't move his body. Countless scarlet shackles were wrapped around his body, blocking all possibility of movement, and he was able to move his fingers, toes, and head slightly.

All supernatural abilities are also invalid, and they can't even enter the triple shackles interface.

Kino raised his eyes to look at the black sun at the end of the sky, the black light it scattered was like a solid body, presenting thousands of scattered spikes in the scarlet sky.

The vision extends farther and farther, and the vision becomes clearer and more detailed.

He suddenly found that there was a figure in the middle of those spikes.
The world is trembling, the endless sky is rolling down, the distance between the sky and the earth is shortening, and at the same time, the distance between Kino and the figure is also shortened.

Soon, Kino saw the other party clearly.

The young man in front of him had thin lips like a thin line, a hook-like nose, and a face that was so thin that it was almost to the bone, forming a dark but hot face.

This strange opponent made Kino very puzzled, and he asked, "Hi, do I know you?"

The young man was speechless, and reached out to take off the A-level transformation ring between his fingers, and his appearance returned to its original shape. An unusually thin but extremely familiar face appeared to Kino.

Kino was stunned for a full three seconds, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha." Since becoming a rejecter, Kino has never smiled so happily. His smile at this time has a kind of self-deprecating playfulness, and also the joy of reunion after a long absence, "11, so it is you? Huh?" .Then it all makes sense."

11 looked at Chino coldly, without any emotion in his voice: "Laughing?"

"Indeed, the one who should laugh is you, not me." Seeing the acquaintance, Kino's doubts had long dissipated, and his tone became more relaxed, "Congratulations, you finally caught me. dramatic."

11: "Just want to talk nonsense? Nothing else to say?"

Chino: "Just one question—how did you die? How can someone kill someone who can't even kill me?"

11: "Killing others is a skill. To kill yourself, you only need courage and a little skill."

Kino understood the meaning, and couldn't help laughing: "11, aren't you too persevering? It's fine if you chased me in the previous life, I'm already dead, and I've entered the reincarnation space, and you still have to give up Chase me and say, do you like me?"

11: "Maybe it is true? I have been chasing my sweetheart for half a year, and we are together. Chasing you? After chasing for 3 years, I still haven't caught up. You are the most difficult person I have ever seen."

Kino chuckled, and changed the subject easily: "Okay, it's just a joke. I have a small request, can you listen to me explain about your lover's death? After listening, you may change your mind .”

Before 11 spoke, Chino added: "Of course, you can choose not to listen, you are the winner, you have the final say."

11: "You try?"

Kino coughed lightly, and his voice sank a little: "Listen, 11, her death was not my intention."

11 The corners of his lips curled up in a sarcastic arc: "This is your dying struggle? Sophistry that you were not the one who killed her? Dare to do it or not, when did you become so disdainful?"

Kino wanted to stretch out his hand to interrupt him, but because his whole body was imprisoned, he couldn't move, so he could only sigh and say, "Listen to me. First of all, I admit that the person who did it was indeed me, and the two smiling cut marks on the corners of his mouth are my own." The exclusive logo, no processor in the world has the guts to imitate it, otherwise it will be my revenge."

"But the decision to kill her was really not my decision."

"Think about it, that girl never threatened me from the beginning to the end. I can play her around with any trick I want. Why should I persecute her when I have nothing to do? The person I wanted to kill was always you, not her."

"As for why I did it? It's very simple. Your lover not only tracked down me, but also tried to track down my organization, and even implicated the organization's behind-the-scenes customers!"

"Those are all big shots. I may have to think about it for 30 seconds when I accept an order of this level. She is good. She not only got into it, but also wanted to wipe out all the underground forces involved. Then tell me, her name How could it not be listed on the order?"

"The leader threw the order to me and asked me to process her, and also marked 'slow processing, extreme pain'. Then you say, what can I do??? I am just a processor, what is a processor? Working overtime! I am also forced to."

11 After hearing this, he was not dazed or angry, but still had that sarcastic sneer: "According to this, you were forced to kill the leader's lover later?"

"It's for you! Fool!" Kino clenched his fists tightly, his expression full of indignation at being wronged, "The night your lover died, after I went back, my mind was full of your pain, and I couldn't sleep all night , the more you think about it, the angrier you get, the more you think about it, the angrier you get!"

"You know, in my heart, other people are not worthy to kill you, nor worthy to make you suffer, only I am worthy. So I secretly swore at that time-boss, you persecuted the lover of 11, right? Okay, then I will let you Experience the pain of losing a loved one firsthand!"

"At that time, you disappeared and suddenly stopped all activities. I was surrounded by a group of impolite people, which made me feel that the world became more and more boring."

"So, I made a game with the leader's lover, not only for revenge for you, but also for my own gorgeous curtain call." Kino snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "You should know the rest of the story."

11 didn't speak, just looked at Kino silently, silently
Kino pursed his lips, his eyes were full of friendliness, and he said softly: "11, you see that our misunderstandings have been resolved, how about this. Let's not continue this match, it's over. .”

"After we each went back, I immediately went to find out if there is a way to change from a rejecter to a reincarnation, and then try to join your team."

"You also look for it, is there a way to permanently settle in my world, come here and help me resist the invasion of reincarnation."

"Whether it's in the previous life or in this world of reincarnation, you and I join hands—" Kino's pupils seemed to be burning with fire, and he said the second half of the sentence sonorously, "Invincible!"

11: "Continue."

Chino: "Continue what?"

11: "Keep dragging."

The smile on Kino's face froze for a moment, then slowly faded away
11 looked at Kino with a look of prey, and his tone was full of jokes: "Want to chat with me, delay time, wait for someone outside to save you?"

"You really understand me." Facing the person who knows him best in the world, Kino was not surprised that his thoughts were pierced, he pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Since you are willing to chat with me, It means you don't care about my procrastination."

11: "I really don't care."

Chino: "Then if I told you that I didn't lie a single word about your lover, would you believe me?"

11: "Believe it or not, you can't escape today. It's a simple truth, isn't it?"

Kino sighed suddenly: "11, you have changed."

11 asked back: "Why?"

Chino: "Don't you think so? What you have done these days is not like you. You have to know that you are the complete opposite of me, and everything you say and do is aboveboard."

"But you have killed so many civilians in Twilight City with the seven plagues of heaven these days. This is not a just thing. What? The dragon slayer turned into a dragon in the end?"

11: "Is the smiling demon starting to care about justice?"

Chino: "Since you have made it this far, you must know a lot about me, and you may even know my ability to reject. To me, every life in this world is very important, and they are all my emotions. Source, of course I want to love each of them."

11 let out a short sneer, and said deeply: "You said that I have changed, but in my opinion, you are the one who has changed. You would naively think that I am a cold-blooded and ruthless devil just like you, and would treat you The innocent do it?"

Kino's smile froze for a moment, and then became more intense: "Illusions? All natural disasters, including the seal of scourge."

"It seems that your intelligence has not regressed." 11 closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, a majestic coercion burst out, and the pupils were full of vortices formed by surging psionic energy. "SSS-level exclusive reincarnation ability, spiritual power Anyone who is weaker than me will be invaded by me, and the five senses including vision are under my control."

Kino's eyes couldn't help squinting: "Your ability is so powerful? Can you make 20 people in Twilight City, including me, the rejecter, hallucinate? Are you already invincible?"

11: "Want to talk to me?"

Chino chuckled: "You don't even care that I'm procrastinating, but you still care about my stereotypes? Just treat it as a reward for old acquaintances~"

To Kino's surprise, 11 actually didn't refuse, and went on with the trend: "Although my exclusive reincarnation ability rating is SSS, its actual effect is linked to my spiritual strength—all exclusive abilities are like this. , the rating is the starting point, and the specific performance depends on subsequent strengthening or practice."

"My current psychic level is not low, but I haven't reached the ultimate level. It is impossible to control 20 people in my normal state."

"However, there is a psychic catalyst in the cube, which can forcibly break the psychic limit at the cost of greatly consuming the body's vitality. In this way, I can use the ability of psychic invasion to the entire Twilight City."

Chino: "If you tell me such important information, aren't you afraid that I will seize the opportunity to fight back?"

11's tone was very mocking: "I have said many times, no matter what you do now, I don't care."

Kino: "Then let me ask a question—after successfully using psychic power to invade, can you control other people's speech?"

11: "Yes, the premise is that the other party has no sense of resistance and completely let go of their defenses."

Qino's eyes slowly sank, deep enough to penetrate people's hearts: "So, Lu Yuqing is indeed a reincarnation. Let me guess, I forced her to admit her identity that day, and you controlled her to say that sentence." I am a reincarnation'."

"But because the body is hers and the consciousness is yours, this sentence did not meet the judgment conditions, so the A-level reincarnation disguise was not broken. And that Broken Blade is the dead man you sent to crucify my logical thinking .”

"As I said just now, your intelligence hasn't regressed." Eleven looked at Chino coldly, "Go on, let me see how much you understand."

Chino: "First of all, my processor Jenny should have been spotted by you from the very beginning, you deliberately let Jenny send information, let me know that the class of reincarnation disguise is A-level, and let me know that there is a woman who came to Twilight City , and drew my attention to Lu Yuqing through some small loopholes."

11: "It's my turn to ask questions. Haven't you thought about the possibility of Jenny being exposed? Didn't you think that the information she gave you may be what I deliberately wanted you to see?"

Chino: "Think about it. The very fair-skinned girl you sent was the one your teammate called her white. She is a processor, right? I can tell from her attack style."

"Jenny gave me information about her portrait. I originally wanted to go to the tavern to capture her alive, but I found out that there was a big difference in the attitude of your teammates towards her. At the beginning, I let her be tortured and killed by me, and she was about to die. I was in a hurry to save her again."

"At that time, I was wondering if someone guessed that I was infiltrating the reincarnation space, so when they saw the processor, they thought it was my dead soldier, so they made a game and sent Bai to Twilight City to test it out."

"I didn't think of you at the time, because in my perception, you learned of my death in the previous life, so you should have settled our grievances, inherited your lover's behest, and continued to dedicate yourself to the detective career, not for the sake of Sons and daughters love each other and give up their lives."

11: "I'm so sad, Kino, I know you so well, but you don't know me at all."

"I can't help it. After all, I really can't understand the word 'love', and I don't know what it means to a person." Kino smiled lightly and shook his head, and said, "Let's get down to business. The processors who came here to test it out, I thought there was a possibility that Jenny might be exposed."

"But the first information sent back by Jenny, first of all, happened before Bai came to Twilight City, and the possibility of exposure at this time point is low."

"Secondly, this information is too complete and credible, so I thought—whether the information was obtained by Jenny with her strength, or the other party deliberately asked her to send it back, as long as it is true, I can take it Come to the backhand layout, use the tricks - this idea has become the main reason why I lost to you."

"Arrogance." 11 gave a simple and precise evaluation.

Chino shrugged and said with a smile: "You are the winner, and you are right. I am the loser, so I will be ridiculed."

Kino was about to continue the deduction, but suddenly stopped, and asked with great interest: "I suddenly thought of a question, since you have the ability to simulate my thinking, you should also think of it, even if you use my blind spot of thinking to break through the disguise of reincarnation Judging that Lu Yuqing should be cleared of the suspicion, I may also have the idea that I would rather kill by mistake than let go."

"Aren't you afraid that I will have someone secretly assassinate her and let her die in an accident? Once she dies, all the schemes you set up will collapse."

11: "Didn't you tell Han Yi to do this? What happened then?"
