Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Listening to Shinichi's not-so-serious words, Akiyama Li's expression behind her mask was a little unhappy. She suggested to Shinichi: "Sometimes, you can change your attitude of playing with the world... It's easy to make people unhappy..."

"Okay, my king. Got it, my king."

"..."

"Hahaha, your request is a bit difficult for me. This is just my personality and I can't change it~"

Looking at Shinichi who showed no sign of changing his mind, Akiyama Li sighed helplessly.

Not to mention, in Akiyama Li's eyes, Shinichi is still a good person. The good thing is that he is different from Mai. He is more decisive and ruthless than Mai, has a flexible bottom line, a broad vision, mature thinking, and a firm will.

The bad thing is that she is different from Mai. She has a worse taste than Mai, has no morals, is too frivolous, plays tricks on people, doesn't listen to others, is full of lies, and is very scheming.

As expected, she is the dark side of Mai, and her personality is completely opposite. Apart from the fact that she is a good person, she has a few things in common with Mai...

Overall, although Shinichi has many shortcomings, his strengths are enough to make Akiyama Li show friendliness to him.

Thinking of this, Akiyama Li couldn't help but feel a little bitter... If even a little bit of those advantages that Shinichi showed could appear in Mai, this cycle would not have continued until now...

While Akiyama Li was thinking secretly, Shinichi looked at the king snake that got up from the ground and asked Akiyama Li: "I'm gone in the end, but you should still have it, right? Do you want to kill this troublesome guy?"

Akiyama Li came back to her senses, glanced at the king snake, which was in a somewhat awkward position, and responded mercilessly: "Ah, sure."

Having said that, Akiyama Li took out the Final Advent from the card box without hesitation and placed it directly into the card slot of the Winged Summoning Sword.

Shinichi, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected, the different characters caused by the different world lines were so different. The pseudo-evil Night Rider who was unable to kill anyone in the original TV series could actually sentence others to death without hesitation here.

Tut tut...

Just when Akiyama Li was about to use the final advent, an uninvited guest interrupted everything.

"Shi-kun! I'm here to help you!"

"what?"

"Mai!?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Mai, transformed into Dragon Knight, had joined the battlefield at some point!

"Shi-kun! Get out of the way! That blue knight! He's dangerous!"

Chapter 128: Firmly Establish Your Own Philosophy

"Shi-kun! Stay away from that blue knight! He's dangerous!"

Mai shouted at Shinichi and reached directly into the card box and took out two cards.

"Advent!"

"Sword vent!"

Afterwards, Mai did a somersault and jumped onto Wushuanglong's head with a knife in hand. She attacked Akiyama Li with unprecedented fighting spirit and anger!

"!"

Seeing this, Akiyama Li was a little stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood the situation. It seemed that Mai thought that she would do something bad to Shinichi. Akiyama Li, who did not want to reveal her identity, could only go along with the situation. She immediately distanced herself from Shinichi and put on a hostile attitude.

Obviously, although Mai hates other knights, such as Wangshe, who have blood on their hands, the people they killed have nothing to do with her, so her hatred is limited to that.

However, Night Knight was different. She would never forget the day when she saw the Dragon Knight who had saved her turn into particles and dissipate after handing her the card box. She would also never forget the Blue Knight who only left her with his back...

Mai has a different kind of anger towards this knight than any other knight...anger!

"Kisama!!!!!!"

Watching Mai riding on the Wushuanglong and rushing towards Yeqi with great anger, the Wushuanglong also felt the knight's anger, opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of fire towards Akiyama Li.

Naturally, Akiyama Li would not sit still and wait for death. She directly summoned her dark wings and let them hook directly onto her back, turning them into a jet pack, allowing it to carry her away from the attack of Wushuanglong.

Then it soared directly into the sky, leaving the dragon rider riding on the Wushuang Dragon helpless for a moment.

Mai and you looked up at the night rider flying in the air and asked, "Tell me your name!"

After a moment of silence, Akiyama Li finally lowered her voice and responded to Mai's question with a relatively unfamiliar tone: "...Yeqi."

"Night Rider... This armor of mine must look familiar to you!"

As she spoke, Mai patted the armor on her chest, and Akiyama Li also understood that she could not confess to Mai yet, and she had to continue playing this drama of putting on a mask and not recognizing people.

So, she raised her head and said to Mai: "Ah, of course I remember. Are you the new Dragon Rider? Wearing this armor, are you going to take revenge on me?"

When the word revenge was mentioned, Mai's words paused. After all, she was still that innocent little angel in her heart, and she didn't want to face the word revenge which was too cruel.

So, after a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "...No, I don't want revenge...I just want to know why you killed him at that time!?"

Akiyama Li: "Why? Haha, it's very simple, because he hindered me from completing my plan, so I naturally have to eliminate him."

"Just for this!?"

"if not?"

Hearing this nonchalant response, the anger that Mai had just suppressed was instantly aroused once again!

She asked loudly, "Why are you all acting like this? I am not very smart and I can't figure out what you knights are planning.

But there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, no matter what you do, you should never put yourself above the lives of others!"

"You don't understand? That's right." Akiyama Li was not shaken at all and said, "People who want the best of everything and are unwilling to pay the price will only stay where they are and hesitate to move forward. I'm not putting myself above others, I'm just paying the price."

"Pay the price? To pay the price means taking the life of another person!?"

"Yes."

“…” Seeing that Akiyama Li’s tone was still as calm as before, as if she was talking about a trivial matter, she clenched her fists in anger and said in a deep voice: “What you said is just like Odin who deceived the knights to fight each other…”

Finally, she raised her clenched fist and shouted angrily, "Night Rider... As expected, among all the knights, you are the only one like me! I cannot forgive you!"

After saying that, Mai commanded the Wushuang Dragon under her feet to rush towards Akiyama Li. Akiyama Li looked at Mai approaching her and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "You are right, I am no different from Odin... I also... don't care about your forgiveness..."

After whispering, Akiyama Li stopped dodging and raised the Winged Summoning Sword in her hand to attack Mai.

At this moment, Shinichi and King Snake on the ground were watching the fight in the sky. Shinichi secretly lamented the subtlety of the relationship between the two. This Akiyama Li was really awkward. She obviously cared so much about Mai, but she was unwilling to make it clear.

But... Alas, a pseudo-evil deputy knight who is unwilling to speak clearly is an old tradition of the Knight's Shed. However, from now on, Mai's disgust for the Night Knight will be even deeper, which has completely counterproductive effect...

Shinichi had some general understanding of the feud between the two and was not surprised, but in the eyes of the snake charmer, this was completely inexplicable.

What the hell?

Shouldn't this Night Rider be one of Da Ya's teammates? Dragon Rider is also Da Ya's teammate. And Quan Youxia and Dragon Rider are inseparable, so Night Rider can help look after Quan Youxia...

Hiss... I don't understand why these two started fighting. Aren't they supposed to be teammates? Why did they start to ignore me when I put on my mask?

However, the king snake did not think much about it. It was not important whether he understood this strange relationship or not. What was important was that he was not fit to continue fighting now, so it would be better to take this opportunity to escape.

So, he chuckled and said harshly: "What a confusing relationship, boring, let Quan Youxia live a little longer this time."

After saying that, the King Snake turned around and ran away. Shinichi watched the King Snake slip away, touched the poor cards in his card box, and shook his head speechlessly. Tsk, he couldn't even stop it... The depth of this Daya's card box... is so weak.

Besides, Dragon Rider and Night Rider are fighting there, and Shinichi can't just sit there and do nothing, so King Snake... well, let him save his life.

As for the Dragon Riders and Night Riders who were fighting fiercely on the other side, it was not appropriate for him to shout at this time: Stop fighting!

So I could only be a spectator and pay attention to the situation between Mai and Akiyama Li.

Of course, this battle itself was nothing to watch. The two men were flying up and down in the air and seemed to be fighting fiercely, but with a single glance, one could see the gap between the two.

Mai was completely suppressed by Akiyama Li. Even though some of Akiyama Li's cards had been consumed by King Snake in advance, she still relied on her own mobility and combat experience to beat Mai.

In fact, if we compare this battle with the battle between Akiyama Li and King Snake, then Akiyama Li was completely letting the opponent win. In the air, where Akiyama Li had a great advantage, she had countless opportunities to defeat Dragon Knight, but she never used all her strength.

However, it obviously couldn't continue like this, otherwise the fight would be endless, so when Akiyama Li saw that the time was almost right, she directly untied the connection between herself and the Wings of Darkness and fell down.

When Mai saw Yeqi falling like this, she was shocked. At that moment, another emotion directly overshadowed her original anger, which was worry.

After all, she is still that innocent, stupid and good person. No matter how angry she is, her nature of not wanting others to get hurt is always there. So, after being stunned for a moment, Mai immediately commanded Wushuanglong to fly towards the falling Yeqi, trying to catch the falling Yeqi.

But, would Night Rider be injured by falling? What a joke! She took out a Shooting Descent, transformed the Winged Summoning Shield in her hand into a crossbow, and then turned around and shot at Mai.

Zhenyi was startled suddenly, and she dodged the light arrows in a panic. For a moment, her body riding on the Wushuang Dragon was a little unstable. At this moment, the wings of darkness turned into a strong wind and flew towards her!

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, Mai was knocked away by the Wings of Darkness and fell out of control from the air!

"Ahhh!"

"Oh my god, you really dare to do this?" Shinichi was a little surprised that Akiyama Li was actually willing to use heavy hands on Mai, but soon he saw Akiyama Li greeting him, so he immediately ran forward, stood up and jumped to hug Mai who was falling from the air.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, Mai landed steadily in Shinichi's arms.

"Ah! Thank...thanks, Shi-kun."

Mai was still a little frightened. After taking a deep breath, she thanked Shinichi tremblingly, then jumped out of Shinichi's arms and looked up at Akiyama Li, who opened her cloak behind her and fluttered a few times before landing steadily on the ground.

Akiyama Li looked at Mai and although she felt relieved, she said coldly, "You can deal with me with this strength? You are weak and poor. If you want revenge, become stronger first! When you have the strength of the knight next to you, come and seek revenge on me.

I'll let you go this time, but if you continue to hinder me next time, I don't mind killing the dragon rider again!"

As she spoke, Akiyama Li summoned the wings of darkness to hang behind her. The turbines on both wings operated rapidly, and she flew away from the scene like a jet.

Mai looked a little surprised at the speed at which Akiyama Li flew through the air.

Shinichi stepped forward and patted her shoulder, saying, "I know you are very angry, Mai, but what Yeqi said is not wrong. In your current state, you can't compete with her at all. Find a way to improve your strength and talk about revenge..."

Mai shook her head: "...I...I don't want revenge...I just, I'm just filled with inexplicable anger in my heart. Whether it's Kaiqi, Wangshe, or now Yeqi...is human life really so cheap and not worth mentioning in their eyes!?"

Shinichi wanted to say in his heart: Yes.

But as a teammate of Mai now, he certainly couldn't say such words, so he spread his hands and said: "Everyone has their own obsessions and persistence, Mai, in fact, no matter how you question or argue.

Whether it is the King Snake or the Night Rider, they will not change themselves because of your words. They have their own obsessions and reasons, their own values ​​and worldview.

Do you remember that I once told you about my past? As I grew up, my biggest realization was that everyone in this world lives for their own ideals.

Twenty years of hard work and effort by parents to raise their children cannot determine their children's personalities. As an outsider, what qualifications and abilities do you have to change another person's already formed ideas?"

Shinichi thought this was enough to shut Mai up, and Mai did indeed fall into deep thought. Yes... How could he change the ideas of these knights? How could he make them realize their mistakes?

Could it be that... I really took it for granted and did something wrong? No... That's not the case! I did nothing wrong! It is wrong to wantonly trample on other people's lives to fulfill your own desires!

If you know it is wrong but choose to compromise because it is difficult to change, then what is the difference between this compromising self and those knights who choose to kill people even though they know it is wrong! ?

So Mai asked back: "…because it is difficult to change, so we won't change? Because the wrong things are difficult to change, we won't correct them!? If we blindly compromise and blindly understand those knights who are stained with blood, then what about those who are already dead!

I really can't say anything about those people who deserved the punishment, but... my senior, the good man who was willing to transform into a dragon rider to save ordinary people... who can understand them! ? And the sharp blade who was a policeman who was conscientiously arresting criminals!

Should they die for Nightrider King Snake's obsession? I don't understand! I absolutely don't agree! So, even if it's difficult to change them, I still want to change them!

Just like you, Shinichi-kun, chose to change this endless cycle! Even if you break through the cycle, if you can't make knights like Night Knight King Snake change their minds and recognize their mistakes, then they will only continue to hurt others in another way! "

Shinichi looked at Mai with some surprise, looking at the visor of Longqi facing him, as if he could see through the visor and see the resolute face of Mai behind the visor.

"...Haha~ You are right. Well~ You have already made up your mind, so I can't change your firm belief. Your firmness is great, and I hope you can keep it up.

Do what you think is right, do what you want to do. Since you have made up your mind, then go for it. No one in this world can stop you except yourself. All I can say is... stick to your heart and never compromise. "

Does Shinichi like Mai's innocent and somewhat naive ideas? No.

However, he likes Mai's current determination and persistence. No matter whether it is justice or evil, as long as she can be consistent and unwavering in her ideals, Shinichi will express his appreciation.

So, at this moment, he, who was always realistic and sharp-tongued, did not choose to pour cold water on Mai, but...

Give a thumbs up to the girl who has found her way.

Chapter 129: Mirror Reflects Nature

Compared to Mai's gradually firm belief, Akiyama Li's condition after leaving the mirror world was not so good. After canceling the transformation, she slumped on the floor of the bathroom, and all she could think about in her mind were the roars she had directed at herself during the previous battle with Mai.

Although, after countless reincarnations, she has become accustomed to this, starting over again and again, restarting interpersonal relationships again and again, and facing doubts that were not anticipated.

Time and again, watching Mai treat me with a strange look, and even the possibility of her using her sword against me... I'm so tired...

However, even if she was very tired, she couldn't stop. She couldn't just sit there and watch Mai. She couldn't watch the girl who saved her and pulled her out of the abyss go to death in the end. As long as she could save Mai, as long as she could keep her alive...

Thinking of this, Akiyama Li took a deep breath again to encourage herself, stood up and washed her face. Then she looked at herself in the mirror and strengthened her belief.

But... is it necessary? How many reincarnations have I gone through? I have done so much for Mai, is it enough to pay it back?

"Think about it carefully, Akiyama Li, after all, this cycle of reincarnation continues, isn't it because of your obsession with Mai? After all, she only saved you for a while and let you return to normal life.

In fact, for Mai, saving you is just a side job. And all the efforts you have made for Mai in so many reincarnations, aren't they enough to repay her? Li, you have tried hard enough, why don't you let it go? "
