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

Akiyama Li was stunned for a moment, and then she recalled the movie she had watched. The scene that impressed her the most was that the protagonist was fixed to a chair, his eyes were forced open by a special instrument, and he relied on eye drops to lubricate his eyeballs.

Then, I kept my eyes forced open for a month, watching all kinds of violent images without sleep, and playing Symphony of Fate while watching.

After a month of shock therapy, the protagonist, who was originally prone to violence, completely lost his aggressiveness due to this therapy. As long as he had any violent desires or heard the symphony of fate, he would have physical rejection...

Shinichi saw Akiyama Li lost in thought, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Ah~ From your appearance, you seem to know A Clockwork Orange? That's easy, remember the shock therapy used on the protagonist in the movie?

I think it is a very good treatment method, especially for naughty female ghosts like you. So, I plan to give it a try. But don't worry, I won't show you any violent images, which are too cruel and not suitable for children.

"Gu... just tell me what you want to do! Stop talking nonsense here!"

Shinichi shook his head and said, "Tsk, you keep swearing. A girl like you needs to be educated on the truth, goodness and beauty. So... during the shock therapy, I will show you... Disney cartoons!"

"..."

Akiyama Li was stunned for a moment, while Mai next to her was also stunned and muttered: "Huh? Disney cartoons? I think it's okay! It's very good! I especially like the Hercules one!"

Unlike Mai’s preference, after coming to her senses, the evil Akiyama Li shouted directly: “No… No! You can’t do this!”

Truth, goodness, and beauty, go to hell!!! I don't want to watch that kind of nonsense!

"Why not? Mai! Come! Tie her up for me!"

"okay!"

Seeing the two men about to extend their claws to her, the evil Akiyama Li finally chose to escape from the horrific Disney cartoon: "You...you...you just wait! I will definitely come back!"

After saying this, Akiyama Li fell into a coma...

"Eh?" Mai looked at the unconscious girl in front of her in surprise and scratched her head in confusion: "Why...she immediately gave up her body sovereignty when Disney cartoons were mentioned? Is it that scary?"

"Disney cartoons...are really scary..." Shinichi nodded seriously.

"Eh? Is there? I think... they're all really good... I've watched The Lion King several times."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this. The most urgent thing now is to bring Akiyama Li back home."

As he said that, Shinichi directly carried the unconscious Akiyama Li on his shoulders, and Mai followed him. The two of them got on the shuttle and left the mirror world...

After an unknown amount of time, Akiyama Li opened her eyes drowsily, and the first moment she woke up, she immediately felt pain all over her body as if she had been hit by a car.

She gritted her teeth, stretched out her hands and rubbed her body, recalling her memories after being replaced. She saw herself being controlled by the dark side and attacked Mai, but was interrupted by Shi...

No, now it should be called Shinichi... I didn't expect that Shinichi was not a dark side at all, but another Mai from a parallel world. Moreover, he has infinite survival and has an absurdly strong strength.

The dark side of me was knocked down by a hammer as soon as I saw him...

After recalling all of this, Akiyama Li closed her eyes feeling a little tired. In the end... was it still a failure... Mai knew everything she had done... and there was also that dark side...

She struggled to sit up, looked around her, and found that this was Shinichi's home.

And just as she sat up, outside the door, Mai seemed to notice the movement and walked in.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, not knowing how to speak first...

Finally, it was Akiyama Li who broke the silence first: "Mai... I'm sorry, I caused you trouble this time..."

"It wasn't too much trouble... With Shinichi-kun's help, it was safe..."

"Hmm...where's Shinichi?"

"He went out. He said that he had no interest in interfering with what happened between us... It just so happens that I also have a lot of things to discuss with Akiyama Li..."

"what……"

Akiyama Li nodded, and Mai also shut up. For a moment, the two of them fell into silence again...

Two people, one knew almost nothing about the other, while the other was extremely familiar with her. They had crossed countless reincarnations, with blood on their hands, just to be able to save her...

This subtle relationship makes it seem like there are countless connections between Mai and Akiyama Li, but they can also be said to be strangers...

Akiyama Li was extremely worried. She knew very well what she had done along the way to save Mai. She had done too many extreme things with the idea that she could start over again next time...

Even...even once, she had done the perverted act of imprisoning Mai and locking her in her basement...She still can't forget the way Mai's eyes lost their luster at that time...

That memory made her feel ashamed and afraid, but she had to admit... at the moment when Mai completely became her own... she felt happy.

A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. It is precisely because of this repeated breaking of the bottom line and violating human nature that her dark side will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and replace her consciousness...

For a moment, Akiyama Li was a little afraid to face Mai, but it had come to this point... Could she continue to escape?

"…Mai…whatever you want to ask, just ask…I'll tell you…"

Chapter 136: Old Friends

After Shinichi brought the unconscious Akiyama Li back home and settled her down, he came to the front door without taking a rest and said, "Mai, I'm going out for a while. I probably won't be back tonight."

Mai asked in surprise, "Huh? Shinichi-kun, where are you going?"

"Hospital, replace Takano."

"Eh? Is that so... It shouldn't be a problem to let Ms. Takano watch over the place for one night..."

Shinichi shook his head and said, "No, Youxia is being watched by the King Snake. It's okay to let Takano watch for a while, but if we really ask her to keep guarding against the King Snake, it's a bit unrealistic."

Faced with Shinichi's explanation, Mai couldn't refute it, and could only nod reluctantly, muttering: "I was thinking that you, Shinichi-kun, would ask Li with me. After all... I'm not as smart as you, Shinichi-kun, and I'm not good at language analysis."

Seeing that the girl in front of him was a little unconfident, Shinichi smiled and touched Mai's head, saying with a smile: "Be a little more confident in yourself, and Akiyama Li is obviously obsessed with you. The matter between you two is best resolved between the two of you. It would not be good for me to interfere."

"Ugh... okay..."

In the end, Mai did not continue to persuade him to stay. She watched Shinichi leave until she could no longer see his back. Then, with a nervous and complicated mood, she came to Akiyama Li's room. Coincidentally, at this moment, Akiyama Li opened her eyes...

……

"Perhaps you and I have some misunderstandings about the idea of ​​life and death. The me that is called my shadow in reality is my true self. My body is just a stinky skin of my true self. If anyone wants my body, then fine, take it away. It doesn't matter whether you have it or not!"

Takano sat in the cold ward with a faint smell of disinfectant, holding the large classic "Moby Dick" that he had brought from Akiyama Li's home, reading quietly.

The noise from the hospital came from outside the window, but it did not disturb her thoughts immersed in the book. It was as if the noisy sounds around her melted away in an instant like ice and snow in the heat.

However, this rather elegant, quiet and peaceful scenery was eventually broken by the arrival of Zhenyi.

Shinichi walked into the ward and saw Takano quietly reading. So he said, "Okay, reading time is over, Ms. Takano. It's not appropriate to let a lady do this kind of security work. Let me, a rough man, take over~"

"Um……"

Takano looked up at Shinichi, nodded slightly, closed the book Moby Dick in his hand, stood up and asked Shinichi, "How is Miss Lian doing, Shi-kun?"

"Ah..." Hearing this address, Shinichi was still a little confused. He almost forgot that the Takano Knight was still a person who was kept in the dark. So Mai chuckled and responded: "It's just that Miss Lian had a little twitch, but with me here, it's easy to deal with. It's not a big problem."

Out of trust in Shinichi, Takano didn't ask anything, but just nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Shijun. You have always been here to help with this and that..."

Shinichi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Actually, I am too idle. If I don't do something sooner, I don't know what I should do. If Miss Takano really wants to do something to repay me, how about making an appointment with me when you have time?"

Takano chuckled and asked, "Shi-kun, aren't you already in a relationship with Miss Kitaoka? And... don't you think there are a lot of girls around you who like you? You'll hurt a lot of girls' hearts if you act like this."

Shinichi pouted and smiled frivolously: "Kitaoka was in a special situation at that time. I felt it was actually quite subtle. As for the girls who like me... haha~ I also like a lot of girls. Anyway, I am a straightforward person. If I really hurt their feelings, I will make it up to them later~"

Seeing Shinichi's unabashed attitude of being a playboy, Takano smiled and shook his head, saying, "Then go and tell other girls you like. I'm not interested in dating~"

After saying that, Takano put away Moby Dick, stood up, slung his bag over his shoulder, and left the ward.

As he watched Takano leave, the frivolous expression on Shinichi's face faded. Then, he turned his head to look at Izumi Tomoka who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and slowly walked up to her.

Looking at the pale and haggard girl in front of him who looked like a sleeping beauty, Shinichi asked in a deep voice: "Now, there is no one else but you and me. Quan Youxia, shouldn't you also tell me why you dragged me into this world?"

From all his previous experiences, Shinichi became more and more certain that the reason he was dragged into this world was because of Izumi Tomoka. This woman knew him better than his relatives.

This kind of understanding has reached a point that makes Shinichi feel incredible. He feels as if his past life has been spied on and he has no privacy at all.

However, this knowledge of everything did not scare Shinichi, but rather made him feel uncomfortable. At the same time, this discomfort also gave Shinichi a guess...

Is it possible that Quan Youxia is actually someone he once knew?

Thinking of this, Shinichi immediately thought back to the people he had revealed his hobbies and interests to in his past life.

Don't mention it, in fact, there are quite a lot of friends. Although it is said that Zhenyi didn't have many friends in his previous life, but generally, the relationship is very close. Because he is very selective in making friends, he will make close friends with those he thinks are good, and he will decisively kick out those who are not suitable and have nothing to do with them.

Since I can't figure it out myself, I can only ask in person...

In response to Shinichi's question, Izumi Tomoka on the hospital bed did not open her eyes as Shinichi expected. She still kept her eyes closed and did not move. The only sound in the entire ward was the broadcast of the heart rate monitor.

"Tsk...Quizumi Youxia, don't keep me in suspense...Survival Infinity! You gave it to me, right? Where on earth did you get this card? Not to mention its bonus ability...Unless there is a second Odin, this card shouldn't exist!"

Shinichi's questioning still did not elicit a response from Quan Youxia on the hospital bed, which made Shinichi frown and wonder if he had made a mistake...

Is this really a mistake?

Just when Shinichi was holding the Infinite Survival and didn't know how to continue asking, the window facing the bed suddenly changed...

In the mirror, the originally motionless bed of Quan Youxia suddenly began to shake, and then a golden flash burst out from Quan Youxia's body in the mirror. As the golden light burst out, pieces of flying feathers spread out.

The flying feathers became more and more, and finally flew out of the mirror and flew into reality! Shinichi's eyes were hurt by the golden light flashing in the window, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

After the strong golden light dissipated, Shinichi slowly lowered his arms and vigilantly observed the abnormality in front of him. Then, he looked in surprise as a noble and gorgeous golden knight holding a scepter slowly walked out of the mirror!

"Odin!"

Shinichi immediately pulled out the card box from his pocket, ready to transform to deal with the sudden enemy.

But the Odin in front of her seemed a little special. Seeing Shinichi about to take out the card box, she quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, Shinichi, don't be so excited. You're going to fight before the other person even says anything. What if you hit the wrong person?"

"…female?"

Shinichi looked a little confused as he listened to the pleasant female voice coming from behind the Odin mask in front of him.

Odin put his hands on his hips and nodded, "Hmm~ I am possessed by Quan Youxia, so I am definitely a woman. Of course... it is not ruled out that there are some gentlemen who like to transform into effeminate people, but I am indeed a real girl."

"..." Shinichi was a little confused by what was unfolding in front of him for a moment, but he also realized that the Odin in front of him did not seem to be the idiot scientist who started the knight war on his own initiative.

So he put away his card box and asked Odin alertly: "Possessing Quan Youxia... In other words, you are not Quan Youxia?"

"Well... that's not a problem. But, Shinichi, your memory is a little bad. I changed my name so obviously, but you didn't even notice who I was. Sigh..."

As he spoke, Odin in front of him sighed and took off the card box from his belt. After a flash of golden light, a girl in a black JK suit stood in front of Shinichi, with bright eyes and white teeth, long hair down to her waist, a smile on her face that revealed a hint of cunning, and the beauty mole at the corner of her eye added a different kind of charm.

Seeing the girl in front of him, Shinichi's almost forgotten memory instantly opened up, and he asked in surprise: "You! You should be dead!"

Shinichi's scream immediately made the girl's expression collapse. She complained speechlessly: "Wow... Shinichi, can you use your brain before you speak? You have traveled through time now, doesn't that mean you are dead too?"

"Ah... uh... ahem, so that's it..." Shinichi scratched his head awkwardly, and at the same time, he finally remembered the identity of the girl in front of him... his friend, Bai Youxia, who he once had a very good relationship with and almost became a lover with.

Shinichi said with a hint of emotion: "Bai Youxia... Ha, indeed, the name is obvious..."

"Yeah, yeah, I thought I had already made it clear, but you're just starting to guess my identity now..." Bai Youxia muttered in displeasure.

Shinichi scratched his head and explained awkwardly: "I can't help it. Who told me to keep calling my name in Japanese? If you said Chinese, I would definitely react, but I really can't associate it with Japanese..."

"Humph! I don't care! You're a playboy who cheats on his girlfriend. I heard everything you said to Takano just now! This is the first time I've seen someone as playboy-like as you and have such a clear conscience!"

Shinichi smiled bitterly and raised his hands in surrender, "I'm so sorry~ After all, I never thought that you were behind all this... I thought someone was plotting against me..."

"Plotting something bad? If you really had any bad intentions, how could you have eaten, drank, and slept so well after traveling through time? I worked so hard to create a small world for you, and then you started playing orthopedics on your 'sister' there... Eh~ What a fool~"

As he spoke, Bai Youxia revealed an extremely disgusted expression and shook his head at Shinichi.

Shinichi smiled bitterly, but was actually aroused by Youxia's words and asked, "Small world? In other words... everything here is controlled by you behind the scenes?"

Facing Shinichi's question, Youxia touched her chin and responded, "Yes... and no... It's actually a coincidence. I was actually pulled into this world by accident, and the reason I was pulled here was because of her."

Bai Youxia pointed at Quan Youxia who was lying on the bed and explained, "Do you remember the bishop? In order to revive his daughter, he made a deal with Quan Youxia, and in order to fool the bishop, Quan Youxia performed a soul-calling ceremony for him...

And that soul-calling ritual... was the sacrificial ritual that Mai uncovered two months ago. Originally, Quan Youxia's idea was just to fool around, but she didn't expect that the soul-calling ritual was real.

The ritual really worked, but she did not call back the soul of the bishop's daughter. Instead, she pulled me in who happened to be passing by this world at the time, and then I possessed the body of Quan Youxia.

After that, I basically didn’t get involved in the Knight War, and tried my best to maintain Quan Youxia’s character. If there is anything important to say... I just did a small thing~"

"A small matter?" Shinichi raised his eyebrows, having a feeling that this small matter... might not be small at all.

"It's really just a small matter, that is... I gave my time to a weak girl who wanted to change her tragic ending~"

Chapter 137 The Starting Point of Destiny

"The one who reverses time and space... is it really you, Li?"

"it's me……"

"The reason why you want to reverse time and space... is for me?"

"Yes……"

Mai and Akiyama Li asked and answered questions, of course, it was mainly Mai asking questions and Akiyama Li answering them.
