The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

We couldn't learn together: I didn't understand either.

EMT: Then I +1.

The Almighty: There was one thing I couldn't understand before - that was Hiratsuka Shizuka's actions.

Iron Fist Invincible: What? It can also be my business?

Almighty Man: Yes, based on the previous plot, I have a pretty good understanding of your character in the video. You are undoubtedly a very responsible teacher. In order to get the Delta Belt into the hands of the right person, you even sacrificed your life and was still guiding Hikigaya Hachiman until your death.

Iron Fist Invincible: Hiss, I feel a little embarrassed to say this.

Passerby Girlfriend: Indeed, I was quite sad when I saw Mr. Hiratsuka leave the stage.

Kasumi Shiko: Well, now that I think about it, the plot started to become depressing, starting with the departure of Hiratsuka Shizuka and the change of ownership of Delta.

The Almighty: Yes, the timing and situation of Hiratsuka Shizuka's exit were so clever that even I overlooked a fundamental problem. It was not until I saw Yukinoshita Yukino's death, which seemed very unnatural in the world view of Orphino, that I suddenly realized it.

The Almighty: That is, if Shizuka Hiratsuka was really such an excellent and responsible person, she would never have chosen to hand over the Delta Belt to others and let others fight for her. She should have continued to fight by herself and would not have let the Meteoric Academy members fight for the Delta Belt.

……

After Da Vinci's reminder, almost all the viewers in the forum suddenly realized that something was wrong.

All along, they actually knew in their minds that the "Kamen Rider" series of videos are different from ordinary videos. Most of the things that happen in them have actually happened and will have some impact on reality to some extent.

However, the video format of Kamen Rider still affected their way of thinking, making them subconsciously believe that even if these things were adapted from real events, the plot development would still follow the rules of a "story" -

For example, the main character will not die easily until the end, the character's actions must ultimately serve the plot, and so on.

Therefore, most people are so surprised by the death of Yukino Yukinoshita in the video, and fail to notice the unnaturalness hidden in the story...

Yes, if we look at it from the perspective of pure plot needs, the character of Hiratsuka Shizuka seems so natural from her appearance to her exit.

After all, she was not the designated Delta Belt user, so although it was a pity that she died to make way for Totsuka Ayaka, it was not so unacceptable.

But now thinking about it, this matter is reasonable and unreasonable at the same time.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is not just a plot character, she is a real person who existed in the world of Faiz. Naturally, it is impossible for her to take action because of off-site factors such as "making way for Ayaka Totsuka".

If that is the case, what exactly caused her, a teacher with such moral integrity, to come out to look for Delta's successor, which in turn triggered this series of events?

This is actually very obvious, and there are clear hints in the plot - that is, Hiratsuka Shizuka will not live long.

Viewers such as Hikigaya Hachimanbu still remember clearly that when Shizuka Hiratsuka in the video was still working in a laundry shop, her body began to turn into sand, and she was unable to continue her activities as Delta because of this.

At first, everyone thought it was a side effect of the Delta Belt.

But now, when the special case of Yukinoshita Yukino appears...

……

Iron Fist Invincible: I see. The problem is not with the Delta Belt, but with your identity as a Meteoric Academy member?

Super High School Detective: Indeed, desertification in Faiz's world not only symbolizes death, but also means the transformation of humans into Ophio. And now we already know that Miura Yumiko hunted the members of Meteoric Academy because she didn't want them to become monsters, so how could she let them become desertified?

Iron Fist Invincible: That's right. Now that I think about it, even if I think about it from another angle, if the Delta Belt really has the side effect of turning people into sand, how could I give it to someone else? I would definitely find a place to hide it.

Basic reasoning: But Miss Hiratsuka did not do so, which means that the Delta Belt and even other belts have no direct relationship with the desertification of Meteoric Academy members.

Basic reasoning: Combined with Miura Yumiko's anxious hunting attitude, I suspect that even if the belt is not used, as time goes by, the members of Meteoric Academy will slowly transform into Ophieno, but the process varies from person to person, some are fast, some are slow, and...

Iron Fist Invincible: This transformation has extremely strong side effects, and in the process, everyone, including me, will gradually turn into sand and die. This is why Tamawa and the others turned into ashes after being killed by Miura, and Yukinoshita died in a human state because the degree of this process was not deep enough.

……

Shizuka Hiratsuka put down her typing hands. The heated discussion in the forum was still going on, but she no longer had the heart to pay attention to it.

Including her, everyone who was still serving in the department room was silent at this moment. A piercing chill surrounded their hearts, making their hands and feet feel cold.

Among them, Yukinoshita Yukino felt the strongest, so much so that cold sweat began to flow from her forehead.

According to this logic, all the clues are connected with the death of the other self in the video, and a conspiracy woven by the leader of Meteoric Academy and the Yukinoshita family in the video gradually surfaced -

Ryusei Academy seems to be using children to conduct some kind of experiment to transform humans into Ophienos.

Considering the fact that Yumiko Miura once called everyone "failures" when communicating with Ayanokouji Atsuomi and Hayama Hayato, as well as the analysis of netizens, this experiment ultimately failed.

Although the people of Ryusei Academy can 100% become Ophion as time goes by, the price is that their lifespan will be extremely shortened. Even if they succeed in becoming Ophion, they will quickly turn into sand and die like Hiratsuka Shizuka.

In order to conceal this, those people interfered with the memories of children, including Yukinoshita Yukino, so that they did not notice this until they grew up, and one by one they lost their lives for no apparent reason.

This fact shocked Yukinoshita Yukino greatly, and the "correct" beliefs she had always held were shaken like never before.

If possible, she really wanted to deny this conjecture.

Even if she was an isotope from another world, she didn't want to believe that her family would do such a sensational thing, but...

His sister gave a belt with various side effects to the members of Meteoric Academy without any explanation, causing them to be hunted by Ophino;

His own father was used as an experimental subject by his own mother and turned into sand in front of Hachiman Hikigaya and Hayato Hayama;

And Mrs. Yukinoshita, who knew 1000% of the secret of Meteoric Juku, but still asked Hayato Hayama to keep fighting until his death.

The more she tried to deny the conspiracy, the more events of the past emerged in Yukinoshita Yukino's mind to refute her powerless struggle.

Everything seemed to point to the Yukinoshita family and to Lady Yukinoshita, whose image as Orphino was like that of a devil.

There is no doubt that the Yukinoshita family is not the righteous people who fight against Ofinoch as people thought at the beginning of the show. On the contrary, they are the source of all this and one of the masterminds behind the story of "Faiz".

Yukinoshita Yukino clenched her fists. Before this, she thought that Hayato Hayama's actions and behavior were too shameless and she disliked this guy.

But now, she suddenly understood this person a little.

If it were her, would she really have the courage to tell this to someone in the same position?

Tell her: Your family is so heinous, and your family is the culprit that caused all these tragic endings?

Putting herself in her shoes, if possible, Yukinoshita Yukino would probably take this incident to her grave.

Suddenly, Yukinoshita Yukino felt inexplicably fortunate.

Maybe, if I die here in the video, it would be a good ending...

Yukinoshita Yukino was in a complicated mood, and the others were naturally no less upset. For a moment, none of them were in the mood to talk and were all immersed in their own thoughts.

And precisely because of this, no one except Chen Shi noticed that among the few people, there was a guy with a particularly solemn expression.

If it were any other time, even if Hachiman Hikigaya, who appears to be world-weary but is actually gentler than anyone else, would find it troublesome, he would still use his unique way to comfort Yukinoshita Yukino and tell her not to waste her time on herself.

However, Hikigaya Hachiman did not do so. He just stared at the black screen, and his mind was filled with a question that no one noticed -

As the secrets of Meteor Academy gradually come to light, it also starts to make sense that they can use the belt prepared for Orphino.

They are Meteor Academy's experimental subjects, and in a sense they are still a kind of alternative Orphinos.

But what about yourself?

Why can he use the Faiz belt, which has the most stringent voice-changing requirements, when he is not a member of Ryusei-juku and, if you look deeper, not even a core player in this series of stories?

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes became deep, and he silently turned his head to look at Chen Shi who had a smile on his face.

1044

Chapter 1044 The reason why I can’t survive.

The video ends.

The two young men did not stay in the office for too long. After saying goodbye to their companions in the service department, they set out on their journey home one after another.

The sunset glowed like fire, and the bright red sunset slowly shone down from the end of the horizon, lengthening the shadow cast by the black-haired young man walking in front, just covering the other person following behind him.

In the long silence, the deep eyes lurking in the shadows were always watching the back of the former.

It was not until the two of them stopped at a traffic light that the former, who had been smiling the whole time, finally spoke up to break the silence.

"Hey, hey, you should be almost there."

He kept his eyes looking forward and did not look at his friend behind him. Although he clearly could not see the other person's face, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that this person's temperament seemed to be changing.

However, in the next moment, that mysterious atmosphere was broken by Chen Shi himself in one second.

"Although I think my appearance is pretty good, if possible I still hope to be looked at by beautiful girls. No, I would rather be the one looking at them."

"Kouqu, go away and stop being so narcissistic here. Also, if this is really the case, then you should stop coming to my house whenever you have something to do during this period of time!"

Although he had tried his best to adjust his mentality and try to be serious, he couldn't help but complain when facing Chen Shi's nonsense.

What is this guy saying about wanting to see beautiful girls? Doesn’t this guy think he doesn’t know that he is being chased by a beautiful girl idol these days?

Others have clearly taken the initiative, but his attitude is as if he is avoiding some monster.

Yesterday, when Kousaka Honoka came to the Service Club at the invitation of Yukinoshita, this guy actually said that he was going to give psychological counseling to Hayama and ran away early.

Sometimes, Hikigaya Hachiman would doubt whether this man's XP was normal... Wait?

Could this guy really be from Nantong?

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes became sharp, and he decisively took a step back, leaving the range of this guy's shadow.

Ahem, I was just trying to act deep, but suddenly I got goosebumps.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something very rude."

Chen Shi seemed to sense something and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"You say I'm narcissistic, but I think you're no less. Besides, it's not like you don't have beautiful girls at home, look at Komachi..."

"I'll *Chiba friendly greeting* kill you!"

"Oh, you're such a sister-con."

Feeling that the emotion in the eyes behind him had changed from disdain to genuine murderous intent, Chen Shi chose to shut his mouth appropriately.

Although for a moment, this strong murderous intent made Chen Shi immediately think of the very funny idea "If I marry Hikigaya Komachi in the future, can I just watch Hikigaya Hachiman die of anger on the spot?", but after thinking about it for 0.5 seconds, Chen Shi decisively gave up this idea.

He did like Komachi, but to say that he liked her to the point of wanting to marry her was far from the mark.

Even though Chen Shi himself didn't care about his marriage and love at all, and was confident that he could make Hikigaya Komachi live a happy life after marriage, he still felt that it was unfair to Hikigaya Komachi to start a marriage just for the reason of "to piss off Hikigaya Hachiman".

After all, he actually felt that it would be unfair for any woman to develop a relationship with him that was more than just a friend.

The essence of love is mutual giving, and Chen Shi cannot ensure that he can give his partner something of the same quality.

If it was just a performance, he was confident that he could act so convincingly that no one would notice, but...

Just like a certain snake-skinned monster, the emotions acted out are ultimately acted out, and even if they are tinged with hypocrisy like real emotions, they are just "real".
