Maybe there is indeed a word called fate in this world, but there is also a word called dying alone, isn’t it, teacher?

[In short, while Yukinoshita Yukino was chasing Hikigaya Hachiman, Chen Shi, who had happily received a big house from the intelligent computer company, also woke up from his sleep.

It was as if there was some magical power in Ms. Intelligent Brain. Chen Shi slept very soundly and did not dream about those unpleasant things again.

In the dream, he did not have a car accident two years ago, his parents were alive and well, he had a happy family, and he had a wonderful life that was completely different from reality.

However, dreams are just dreams after all.

Once he woke up, the cruel reality caught up with him again.

At this moment in the room, the intelligent lady who had explained everything had already left. Chen Shi sat alone at the head of the bed in a daze. Without anyone to distract him, pain and sadness overwhelmed this man once again.

Looking at his now empty palms, he had no real sense of becoming a so-called superhuman. The ordinary things that were once commonplace completely disappeared from his life. Even though he was now in a high-end apartment, he only felt extremely cold.

——What do I have left now?

In a trance, he unconsciously recalled the beautiful dream he had just had.

A girl with black hair and green eyes appeared in his mind.

"Asuka..."

Yes, if there is anyone he is familiar with in the world now, then the only one left is the gentle and kind ex-girlfriend in his memory.

Chen Shi knew that a lot of things had changed in the past two years. Even though he couldn't say that he had no grudges at all, he wouldn't blame Asuka Naganohara for leaving.

After all, what right did he have to force the girl to stay with a vegetative person with no future?

He just wanted to see the girl again and talk to her about the past, even if it was just for a few minutes.

Because, that is one of the few in the world that still serves as proof that Chen Shi existed.

And as if in response to Chen Shi's mood at the moment, the landline phone on the bedside coffee table rang at the right time. The young man answered the call in confusion. From the other end of the microphone, the cute and playful voice of the intelligent lady brought content that made him pay attention.

"Oh, Mr. Chen Shi, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. When you were unconscious, we found that a lady named Naganohara Asuka had visited you in the hospital."

"What did you say?"】

Guichu Kazuma: Hiss, why do I feel like Mr. Chen Shi is going to meet with tragedy again?

Ji Guanqiang: Yes, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Alien sister-in-law: Danger! Ex-girlfriend, danger!

EMT: Is it necessary to be so pessimistic? Could it be that the ex-girlfriend knew that Mr. Chen Shi had woken up, so she came to visit him?

Kujo Tengu: If this happened to another Che Che isotope, it might be possible, but this Che Che isotope...

Silver Wolf: I can only say that the main theme of Chen Shi’s life is too tragic. He is even more miserable than the chief.

Rebellious Lu Zhishen: Yes, let's talk about the current situation. Chen Shi seems to have received help from the Intelligent Brain Company, but think about it carefully, why can the Intelligent Brain lady accurately call him immediately after he wakes up? And at this time, she also needs to inform him of the whereabouts of his ex-girlfriend who is the last anchor of mankind?

Rebellious Lu Zhishen: In my opinion, this intelligent computer company does not really have good intentions towards Orphino.

Fully automatic card issuing machine: That’s it, doesn’t that mean I’m a bad woman?

Love is a Lie: So pitiful. Why is it that when they both appeared in the first episode, Hikigaya and Yukinoshita's story was a romantic comedy, but this kid's story was full of tragedies?

Shakespeare: It should be to establish a sense of opposition with the protagonists. I guess the boss of this part might also be Chen Shi.

Guo Huang: The word “也” is used to the essence.

Emperor’s Dance: I totally agree.

The Herr of Food: It’s okay if yours is just a dispute of ideas, but how scary is it compared to the snake-skinned monsters on my side?

The Elf King of Tiangong City: That’s true.

Rhodes Island CEO: Ahaha, thank you all for your hard work.

[Knowing that Asuka Naganohara also wanted to see him, Chen Shi obtained her current contact information through Ms. Intelligent Brain without much thought and asked her out.

However, Chen Shi did not know at this time that his destination this time would be a deeper hell.

Asuka Naganohara came to see Chen Shi, but not to visit him or reminisce as he had expected.

Last night, the cousin who was killed by Chen Shi with the power of Orphieno did not actually die immediately. Just like the two victims of Orphieno, the racial characteristics of Orphieno allowed the humans they killed to survive for a period of time without noticing even with damaged internal organs, and the same was true for Chen Shi's cousin.

Having lost the memory of being killed by Chen Shi, the cousin Qi Ye went to Asuka's house according to his thoughts before encountering Chen Shi, and performed a magic trick in front of her, making his girlfriend eat a mouthful of ashes, scaring her half to death on the spot.

And this is far from the end.

Since her cousin had disappeared in Asuka's home, the police who came after hearing about the tragedy in the Nanaba family immediately identified this woman as one of the prime suspects and began to monitor her daily life.

This almost drove Asuka, who was already mentally unstable, crazy. She was so insecure that she almost went crazy trying to get rid of the police's surveillance.

Therefore, she remembered a piece of information that her cousin Qi Ye accidentally revealed to her before he turned gray last night - Chen Shi, who had been a vegetative state for two years, had woken up and had come to their house to borrow money before.

The moment this information appeared in her mind, Asuka Naganohara immediately came up with an idea to divert the police's attention.

She didn't know whether Chen Shi was the murderer, but her cousin Qi Ye once confided to her after getting drunk that their family's rise was actually based on the annexation of Chen Shi's family's property.

At first, Asuka Naganohara was contemptuous and angry about this, but now the wealthy life provided by her current boyfriend made her hesitate and choose to turn a blind eye to it.

Extravagance is indeed a poison that corrodes people's hearts.

And now, when she thought of these things again, her no longer pure heart no longer felt any anger or guilt, but was filled with ecstasy that she would soon be free.

The time and motive of the crime have both come together. No matter whether Chen Shi is the murderer or not, Asuka Naganohara doesn't care.

"Mr. Police! It's him! He killed the people from the Nanaba family!"

The ruthless words were like a sharp blade that pierced his heart and bones, completely depriving Chen Shi of his last anchor and hope.

He stood there in a daze, looking at the girl whose eyes were full of malice and secret joy. For a moment, he felt that the face he had liked in the past was so strange.

Even if what the girl said was an irrefutable fact, Chen Shi just didn't want to hear it from her mouth, let alone from the mouth of a girl named Naganohara Asuka with that expression and eyes.

——Ahh, what are you looking forward to?

The feeling of emptiness and despair that surpassed that when he just woke up destroyed Chen Shi's sanity like a hurricane, and the young man had to start running away while being chased by the police.

Perhaps because of his shaken mind, or perhaps because of the exhaustion from running, Chen Shi's vision gradually turned white. Phantoms from the past appeared in front of him, blurring his eyes with mist.

The memory is still very clear. It was the happy time when the young man and the girl rode their bicycles to go on a date. It was Chen Shi’s last time as a human being...

His breathing became more and more rapid, and miserable sobs escaped from between his clenched teeth.

Chen Shi desperately reached out his hand to the phantom in front of him, trying to catch the unreachable shadow, but he missed it in the end.

——Yes, I have nothing left now.

Powerlessly stopping, he numbly watched the phantom go farther and farther away until it finally disappeared at the end of his field of vision. Chen Shi looked up at the sky and came to the conclusion that he should have reached long ago.

Brother Jie: Damn, this woman is not a good person either.

How can my XX be so cute: This... Although Chen Shi is indeed the murderer, this woman is a little too ruthless, isn't she? She directly accused him without any evidence. Is she really so heartless?

Mr. Pan: She can enjoy the Chen family’s inheritance with peace of mind, so why would she care about this?

The dead fish eyes of the great teacher: Chen Shi’s taste in women is not very good.

Fruit King: That’s right!

Emperor: We must not let this happen again. I suggest you review all your social activities after dusk.

Dusk Runner: Dark doesn't have to.

[Walking on the path home, Asuka, who successfully found a scapegoat, felt relieved.

Although the police did not completely give up their investigation of her, Chen Shi did divert most of the police's attention as she expected, which made her almost laugh out loud.

"That's good. These things have nothing to do with me. Just let the dogs fight among themselves..."

The next moment, the girl's joyful expression suddenly froze, like a duck with its neck pinched, and her voice, which had been full of complacency just now, suddenly became stammering, because she saw the young man who was supposed to be being chased by the police not far away.

"You and I……"

Like a fish out of water, Asuka opened and closed her mouth for a long time, but due to extreme fear and shock, she couldn't squeeze out any sentences she wanted to say.

Deathly silence spread in the deserted path. The girl's legs began to tremble. An extremely ominous feeling kept sounding the alarm in her heart, making her stare at the person in front of her.

After a long time, Chen Shi took the first step.

The young man silently took off his hood and gave her a gentle smile that was almost exactly the same as the one he gave her two years ago.

Seeing this smile, Asuka's heart calmed down a little, as if the person in front of her was still the same good guy as before, and nothing had changed.

"It's okay, Asuka. After all, two years have passed, and people change."

"Yes, yes."

Listening to Chen Shi's soft whisper, Asuka forced herself to force a very forced smile.

"I was just too scared. Those policemen were really too much. They kept waiting outside my house as if I were a criminal..."

"Actually."

Keeping smiling, Chen Shi interrupted Asuka's defense.

"It's not just Asuka. I've changed too."

A cloud blocked the sunlight, casting a shadow over the young man's face, and Asuka finally realized that something was wrong.

That was not the smile she was familiar with. Behind the gentle surface, there was something completely different hidden.

"What? What on earth are you talking about?"

"..."

There was no answer. The features of Maofi-Inou appeared on Chen Shi's face. Amid the girl's screams of fear and despair, a four-legged alien appeared and cut off his past as Chen Shi with his own hands. 】

911: Crimson Drill (5k)

[“Ding Dong~~”

The ringing sound of the 24-hour convenience store echoed in the empty streets. This melody, which should have been cheerful, did not bring a sense of ease and joy to Hikigaya Hachiman. Instead, it made him feel as if he was immersed in a snowstorm in December, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

As it turned out, the luck of solving the urgent problem of food from Yukinoshita Yukino did not last until he found a new job.

Perhaps the young man’s melancholy and decadent temperament did not conform to the convenience store owner’s aesthetic taste, or perhaps his pair of dead fish eyes did not make him look like a good person.

All in all, Hikigaya Hachiman failed to seize the only seemingly reliable part-time job opportunity in the surrounding area, and is still a poor guy worried about his next meal.

Thinking about the miserable situation of having to sleep in the park tonight without having any dinner, the hopeless Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but sigh quietly. He felt that his future was bleak, and even his already lifeless eyes seemed to have become a little more rotten.
