Chapter 648 Brother and younger brother (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"Is it because you are afraid that I will see your face?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, "Because you are afraid that I will know your secret, you would rather die than let me see this side of you."
The boy's body trembled suddenly, and he finally turned his head. The moment he saw Yuan Zhisheng suddenly felt chills all over his body. Those ferocious golden pupils looked at his face. They have exactly the same appearance, but at this moment his face is terrifying like a ghost that just crawled out of hell.
At the moment when he and Yuan Zhisheng's eyes met, his eyes showed emotions between confusion and absent minded, he seemed to be having a strange nightmare, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sober, all the time Sometimes he looks like a ghost who chooses people to devour, and sometimes he looks like a boy who is ignorant and clear... He panted heavily, and beads of sweat mixed with rain fell from his forehead. He looked painful and embarrassed , as if there were two souls residing in his body, and these two souls were fighting desperately for control of the body.
It seemed that the boy's personality slightly suppressed the evil ghost's personality, and finally his eyes finally cleared up. He looked down at his blood-stained hands, and the palms trembled unconsciously.
"I did all of these... I did all of these..." He muttered in his mouth, his tone and expression were painful.
As if recalling what he had done during this period of time, his face twisted little by little. The boy could not accept that he did such a horrific thing, nor could he accept that he had become such a cold-blooded and cruel monster.
"For the past few years, you have been living in such a hell, right?" Yuan Zhisheng's hand lightly stroked the handle of the knife, seeing the pain of his brother who was connected with his own fate, he also felt a kind of saying "no" in his heart. Unclear sadness.
"I don't want to live in such a hell...it's better to kill me than to become a willless ghost dominated by blood..." The man raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhisheng with eyes full of pain and entanglement , "Help me... kill me with your own hands..."
"Children..." The man held Yuan Zhisheng's hand holding the knife, and said in an almost pleading tone.
The moment the last claim came out of that mouth, an inexplicable fear exploded in Yuan Zhisheng's mind... Zhinv?How could it be a childish girl?It's clear that I'm Yuanzhisheng, why does the other party call me Yuanzhinv?
A hazy sense of chaos and fear shrouded Yuan Zhisheng, making him want to retreat involuntarily, but at this moment he found that his consciousness could not control this body, the body was as heavy as if filled with lead, and his consciousness It was as if being torn apart by an invisible force, and the personality seemed to be split into two mutilated individuals.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, as if endless, but what falls is no longer rain, but scarlet blood. Dark clouds are slowly pushed from the distant sky, forming a huge vortex above the head, and the vast electric snake is flying in the clouds. Walking in the middle, the flashing thunder light occasionally illuminates this world full of cracks.
That "children" sounded like a taboo spell that broke the barrier between reality and illusion, the dream began to distort, the climate and elements began to become unconventional, and the space was full of dense cracks. It's like the gaps in this fantasy space... As these gaps get bigger little by little, the consciousness that was originally chaotic also becomes clearer little by little.
Kabuki performances... It's not his hobby at all, and he doesn't know anything about traditional arts such as Kabuki and Noh.
The pattern of the silver moon wheel... This lining is not tailor-made for him at all. It is a pattern that symbolizes "Tsukuyomi". Yuan Zhisheng has never done Tsukiyomi. I was told that it was "Amaterasu's fate".
The cherry-red long knife on his waist is not Yuan Zhisheng's usual weapon either. Yuan Zhisheng has practiced two-handed sword skills since he was a child, and he is not good at using this kind of long knife with a huge arc.
The older brother is the one who prefers the boyish appearance, and the younger brother is the one who prefers the feminine appearance of the girl. Yuan Zhisheng's impression of the order of the two brothers has always been vague. He vaguely remembers that he is the elder brother, but the girl at Shikatori Shrine treats him Said that the other boy he saw was very similar to him, but more like a boy than him, which made Yuan Zhisheng's already vague memory even more confusing.
There is also the man who came from Tokyo wearing an ancient official mask. The man named "Wang Jiang" was not optimistic about Yuan Zhisheng from the beginning. He was optimistic about Yuan Zhinv, the younger brother of the two brothers, and was taken away. The child was also a childish girl, and from then on, the two brothers experienced completely different lives.
The younger brother Yuan Zhinv rose to fame in the Japanese underworld and became the successor of the executive bureau and the underworld clan, while the older brother still lived a poor life in the mountains, because the underworld clan didn't need two heirs.
No wonder my consciousness is often chaotic, no wonder I often feel that I can’t control my body, no wonder once something goes against my memory, I feel like my personality is being torn into two individuals... because this is the body of Yuan Zhinv, He has been looking at the world from a second-person perspective, through Yuan Zhinv's body. The evil spirit who slaughtered the girl in the town and should be killed is Yuan Zhisheng.
"elder brother."
A soft cry interrupted Yuan Zhisheng's thoughts, he came back to his senses, and looked at the boy in black windbreaker with a cherry red long knife on his waist.
Only at this moment did his consciousness return to his original body. He was the one standing on the edge of the cliff. The violent blood in his body was rushing through his veins. He smelled the bloody smell that hadn't dried up in his mouth... The source Zhisheng knew where this smell of blood came from, he just witnessed it with his own eyes in that dilapidated old house, it was eaten raw after he killed two girls and dismembered them.
He recalled that after his younger brother was taken away three years ago, he felt unwilling. He had always had a competitive personality since he was a child, but this time he lost to his cowardly younger brother, who was called "Wang Jiang" He would take the man with him to the big city for the opportunity to get ahead, but he could only stay in this small town deep in the mountains for the rest of his life, never seeing the open world outside, because this world does not need two "emperors" , There is no need for two underworld supreme beings, the younger brother Yuan Zhinv is the one who is chosen, his appearance will hinder the younger brother.
Resentment, loneliness, jealousy... These emotions fermented day by day, and gradually a devil was born in the heart of the young and aggressive boy. The arrival of a man named Tachibana Masamune suddenly broke the tranquility of the town, and completely changed Yuan Zhisheng's life. .
Ever since Yuan Zhinv left the town, that man came to the town from time to time, bringing Yuan Zhisheng all kinds of things from big cities, and telling him about the outside world. The man said to Yuan Zhisheng in a devilishly seductive tone that he was better than his cowardly younger brother, he should be the one who was taken away, and he should be the one who will sit on the throne of the underworld supreme in the future.
Obviously they are twin brothers, and since childhood they have always been the younger brother and the elder brother's defeater. How can that useless Yuan Zhinv become a big shot in the Japanese underworld, while Yuan Zhisheng, who has always been excellent, can only be trapped in this mountain village? What about wasting a mediocre life in a small town?
Yuan Zhisheng has always turned a deaf ear to men's temptations. He just has a somewhat aggressive personality and is not a greedy person. In his opinion, status and wealth are not as important as his younger brother who has depended on him since he was a child.
A month ago, that was the last time the man named "Tachibana Masamune" visited the town. He still advised Yuan Zhisheng to go to the big city with him. The two of them could make a big career together, so leave him alone. The younger brother of his brother, only Yuan Zhisheng is qualified to finally ascend the throne of the underworld supreme.
Yuan Zhisheng still dismissed the man's proposal, but what the man said caused Yuan Zhisheng's heart to stir up waves.
The man asked Yuan Zhisheng, if Yuan Zhisheng's younger brother really cared about him so much, why didn't he come back to see him after leaving Tokyo for so long?
For three whole years, he clearly knew that his brother was not limited to this small town, but yearned for the prosperity of the big city, but he never came back, never brought gifts for Yuan Zhisheng, and never told Yuan Zhisheng about his life in the big city. What he has seen and heard, even when he can take Yuan Zhisheng out of this deep mountain is just an empty promise...
The man told Yuan Zhisheng that his younger brother had changed, because he was cowardly and bullied when he was a child, so he regarded Yuan Zhisheng as the most important person in his life, and he always followed Yuan Zhisheng's ass and obeyed. But now my younger brother has seen the outside world, knows how vast this world is, and has a lofty status and power. No one in this world can bully him anymore, so he no longer needs Yuan Zhisheng .
Of course, Yuan Zhisheng's first reaction was not to believe the strange man's provocation, but the man's words undoubtedly planted a seed of doubt in his heart. Before Yuan Zhisheng could refute, the man offered to propose that he would immediately Leaving the mountains, and will probably never come to this town again, because the hostile forces of the man's family have cultivated a terrible enemy, this will be the last time he comes to find Yuan Zhisheng, if Yuan Zhisheng still If you don't want to follow him out of this town, then this should be the last time they meet.
Yuan Zhisheng finally made up his mind to reject the man, and the man really left the town, but before leaving, Tachibana Masamune left behind several tubes of colorful potions, and he told Yuan Zhisheng that if he figured it out one day, To accept your fate, try these potions.
The man who mysteriously appeared and then left undoubtedly caught Yuan Zhisheng's pain point. How could a man like Yuan Zhisheng be willing to spend his life in such a remote town with no achievements?
Finally, one night, Yuan Zhisheng accidentally tried to drink a can of potion left to him by the man named Tachibana Masamune. At that time, Yuan Zhisheng didn't know that he had already jumped into a trap. A dark and deadly abyss prepared for him by the man who knew him well.
Since then, there have been unsolved unsolved cases of missing girls in this quiet and peaceful town for no reason. The instigator behind all this is a mixed race with out-of-control bloodlines, and this mixed race is the source of the potion. Zhisheng... that colorful potion is like a catalyst of some kind of dragon blood, and like some kind of poison, Yuan Zhisheng feels a steady stream of power gushing out of his body when he drinks it, and at the same time his mind Manipulated by the most primitive and violent desires, desperate to destroy, kill and vent.
"Kill me...Children..." Yuan Zhisheng said in a painful and difficult tone, "Complete your mission...Kill me...End my sinful and dirty bloodline..."
Yuan Zhinv looked at Yuan Zhisheng without saying a word. Against the background of the black windbreaker, he was indeed completely different from the cowardly and uninitiated younger brother in Yuan Zhisheng's impression. The most capable and elite law enforcement officer is the future heir of the entire underworld clan. He has seen a vast world and has a lofty status. In the future, the entire Japanese underworld will bow down under his seat.
Yuan Zhinv pressed her hand on the handle, and he slowly pulled out the sharp cherry-red long knife from his waist, while Yuan Zhisheng closed his eyes tightly, as if he was forcing himself to accept his impending fate.
The blade tore through the air and quickly slashed in mid-air. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhisheng's mind. There was a picture of him and Yuan Zhinv climbing to the top of the mountain to watch the Leonid meteor shower together when they were young, and there was a picture of them stealing away the forest ranger. The scene of the plane touring the mountains, the scene of him resisting his adoptive father being locked out of the door and the scene of the childish girl sneaking him a blanket in the middle of the night...these are some beautiful moments.
Only then did Yuan Zhisheng realize that maybe it wasn't that Yuan Zhinv didn't want to come back to see him these three years, this boy also has self-respect... Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remembered what Yuan Zhinv said to him before leaving the town. Before completely changing his cowardly character, before gaining some status and achievements, he will not rashly come back to find Yuan Zhisheng. Yuan Zhisheng is his goal in life. I am qualified to take my brother to a big city to fight together.
Self-blame, annoyance and remorse filled Yuan Zhisheng's heart, but now it was too late, he had committed an unforgivable crime, and he would not have a second chance other than letting his younger brother, who was now on the opposite side of him, kill his relatives righteously. Two endings... The sound of the blade cutting the skin rang in his ears, and Yuan Zhisheng knew that everything would be settled.
However, the expected pain did not come, and my body was obviously unharmed... But I clearly heard the sound of swinging the knife and cutting the skin. If the knife did not cut at me, then what did it cut? ?
Yuan Zhisheng didn't have time to think about it, just when he was about to open his eyes in a daze, a hug caught him off guard and stunned him in place.
"Brother...Brother..."

"Is it because you are afraid that I will see your face?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, "Because you are afraid that I will know your secret, you would rather die than let me see this side of you."
