As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

"Burn." Yuan Hui uttered the word quietly, "I first became suspicious when I saw the red burn mark on your right hand."

"It's not surprising to get burned while cooking." [Shi Alternative Me] said unconvinced, "What kind of evidence is this?"

"It's not surprising to burn your hands while cooking, but it's a little strange that a top chef who is praised by even Kujo Rin would burn his hands."

“…But, but…” Just as [Another Me in the World] was about to continue arguing, as if he knew what she would say next, the boy continued:

"Of course, it's also possible that Morikami did this on purpose to arouse my sympathy."

"Although I don't think she is such a boring person, it is indeed possible."

"But even if that's the case, the burn marks shouldn't appear on the right hand."

"Why?" [Shi Alternative Wo] still said stubbornly, "Isn't your right hand your dominant hand? It would be reasonable to have burns on it, right?"

"No." Yuan Hui shook his head. "There are generally only two ways to get burned while cooking."

"One is touching a heated vessel without wearing heat-insulating gloves. Such burns will leave a more obvious outline. But there is no outline on your hands."

"Another situation is when hot oil or food is put into the pan, the splashing oil drips onto the skin and causes burns. Such burns are irregular in shape and generally appear as dots."

"The burn on your palm is this kind of burn."

"The burn will appear on the palm of your hand, so there is only one possible situation, that is, when the oil splashed, you subconsciously blocked it with your free hand."

"Then let's just recreate the scene. As a person who is very good at cooking, when the ingredients are put into the pot, you use one hand to hold the spatula to stir-fry, and at the same time deliberately splash the oil so that your other hand will be stained with red marks from the burn."

"That is to say, the hand with the burn marks is definitely not your dominant hand when cooking."

“You’re actually left-handed.”

“……”【The Other Me】was silent.

Yes, this might be her only flaw.

Because she did not actually obtain Morikami Nozomi's body, but instead created her image in the mirror, the two are strictly speaking opposite.

Not only is my dominant hand, but if I go for a physical examination, I will find that my heart is not on the left side, but on the right side, which is symmetrical to it.

"Besides this, you also revealed a flaw when you told me the strange story of 'Know-It-All Wu-kun'."

“It’s there too?” [世等我] was really surprised. Is her acting so bad?

"Do you remember what you said when you told me this strange story? You said he was a monster that I could definitely use." Yuanhui reminded.

"Is there something wrong?" [Worldly Other] asked back, "Strange things with similar rules are actually excellent nutrients for the other party. Isn't this normal..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she fell silent.

"It seems you've discovered it too." Yuan Hui smiled slightly, "Yes, this is common sense. But where is this common sense?"

"This is common knowledge in the mystical world."

"However, Morikami Nozomi is a completely ordinary person. Her knowledge of the mysterious world was actually acquired entirely from me."

"I haven't told her this knowledge. So where does this so-called 'common sense' come from?"

"Besides that, there is actually another suspicious point."

"Anything else?" [My Other Self] was already somewhat numb.

Her face even felt a little hot.

If there really are so many flaws, then isn't the girl who took the trouble to act in front of Yuanhui just a pure clown?

"Of course there is more." Yuanhui nodded his head with his other hand, "If you inherited the memory from Morikami, you should know that she and I went to a place called Okada Ranch last weekend to find a monster she called the [Shedding Man], and the official name is [Shedding Disaster]."

"If it weren't for Kujo Rin's sudden appearance, I might have been entangled by the [Metamorphosis] and suffered terribly from it."

"Because of this, from that day on, Morikami Nozomi has been skeptical about the strange stories recorded in his notes, because the information on them is not necessarily accurate."

"However, when you told me about [Know-It-All Wu-kun], your tone was extremely confident, and you didn't even consider the possibility that this information was incomplete or false."

"This proves one thing, that is—"

"You are actually quite certain about the authenticity of this information."

"Then the question is, where does this unfounded certainty of yours come from?"

Of course it comes from my ability.

[The World Is Another Me] Of course I can’t say that.

“With all these doubts, it’s still impossible to be 100% sure, but it’s worth asking [Wu Jun].”

"From the current situation, it seems that my suspicion is not wrong."

General.

[Another Me in the World] seemed to hear such a voice coming from the void.

Yuanhui's reasoning logic was quite clear. Even after she heard it, she couldn't help but feel "how could she not be exposed?" However, this did not mean that she lost.

After all, she still has a crucial hostage in her hands.

"...You're right, I am indeed not her." Trying hard to gather up the little bit of fighting spirit he had left, [Another Me in This World] tried to make a deal with Yuanhui.

"But she is now in a very far place that only I know. If you kill me, you will never see her again."

This is a lie.

If Genki kills her, Morikami Nozomi, who was not devoured by her, will get rid of that ghostly form and appear in front of Genki.

Anyway, Genhui could neither see Morikami Nozomi nor hear her voice, so he could tell lies at will.

"How about this? You wait patiently for a while, and I will hand her back to you."

"What do you think?"

[世又我] naturally knows how false this promise is, but isn't there anything that can be done about it?

Having been forced into this situation, she could only take a gamble and bet that Yuanhui would not dare to risk losing Morikami Nozomi and kill her.

“Anyway, you didn’t suffer any loss during these two days. Instead, you captured the “Know-It-All Go-kun”, a monster that will be of great benefit to “Rika”…”

"This can at least be considered as a balance between merit and demerit, right?"

【世异我】tried to force out a flattering smile.

Of course, she couldn't return Morikami to Genki now.

Yuan Hui looked at her with a strange look, and then he smiled——

"It turns out that Morikami is fine."

He said with a relieved tone.

The ultimate purpose of Yuan Hui's talking so much was to obtain this information.

Although Morikami Nozomi was an ordinary person, she was also a person who entrusted her life and property to him. If Morikami Nozomi died because of his momentary negligence...

Yuanhui will never forgive himself.

Now that I've gotten this information out of the other party, there's no need to continue talking nonsense.

"Blood Field."

Along with these cold words, the scar on Yuan Hui's neck emitted a faint green light, and an endless scorching wind suddenly descended on this remote and desolate wilderness.

In just a blink of an eye, the streets that originally had a modern urban atmosphere disappeared.

A land covered with red and black brutally occupied the original space, and then crawled obediently at the feet of the young man.

At the same time, a figure appeared in front of Yuanhui and [Another Me in the World] from light to dark.

Medium-length hair that falls slightly to the shoulders, dark eyes that are slightly purple, and a very well-proportioned and moderate body shape in every aspect...

Who is this if not an ordinary beautiful girl, Nozomi Morikami?

In the human world, she could not be observed or interfered with, but——

This is the blood field that belongs exclusively to Yuanhui.

Every inch of space here is firmly imprinted with the boy's mark.

After coming into contact with a "foreign object" that does not belong to this space, the blood field will spontaneously reject the other party and outline the other party's outline.

"Welcome back, Morikami." Genki gave the girl in front of him a warm smile.

"Well, I'm back, Gen-kun." Morikami Nozomi would also smile.

It was such a warm and touching reunion scene, but to "Another Me", it was like seeing hell.

Especially when Morikami Nozomi's gaze shifted from Yuanhui's face to hers...

"You, don't come over here!!!"

She could only scream like this in despair.

……

……

"Bang!" This is the sound of a fist hitting the abdomen.

"Pa!" This is the sound of a palm hitting the face.

"Bang!" This is the sound of a foot kicking the chest.

In this space that belongs exclusively to Yuanhui, a one-sided fight is going on.

Originally, Morikami Nozomi had no way of touching [Another Self in the World], but Genki, as the master of this space, was able to cover her hands and feet with a layer of air coat like boxing gloves.

Because just doing some movements can greatly reduce Morikami Nozomi's physical energy consumption.

This little trick with little lethality is just right for the situation at the moment.

The pain may be small, but the torture is everlasting.

Nozomi Morikami didn't say any trash talk, she just silently inflicted violence on "Another Me in the World".

Because of the restraint of the blood field, the latter had no power to fight back at all and could only endure the pain that came at her like a storm.

The spirit of [The Other Me in the World] is close to collapse.

Especially just now, she witnessed with her own eyes another monster that was sucked into this space - [Know-All Wujun] was torn into pieces by the sinful blood flowing on this land, and then dragged into the crack. Her spirit was severely damaged.

"Please, let me go..."

"I don't dare anymore..."

She didn't know how many times she had begged for mercy, but the pain and violence showed no signs of stopping.

The girl in front of her was like a torture machine without any emotions, and she applied everything she had learned throughout her life on her without any reservation.

No mercy, no fatigue, no end.

The slight fear that already existed in [The Other Me]'s heart grew at an astonishing speed under the nourishment of this pain, and eventually grew into a towering tree that could completely cover her heart.

Nozomi Morikami, an ordinary girl, is imprinting fear on this strange mind in a crude but useful way.

Just when [my other self] had given up the slightest hope and my body was becoming a little unreal, the seemingly endless pain suddenly stopped.

Morikami Nozomi's expressionless face appeared in front of her——

"You, come and be my spirit."

She said this quite matter-of-factly.

It was as if a queen was judging a heinous criminal.

"Yes."

At this point, the completely submissive [Self] bowed his head in obedience and submission...

4. [Be Kind and Good to Neighbors]: Is it my turn? (k)

Nothing unexpected happened during the process of Nozomi Morikami restraining the "Alternative Self".

【世等我】is a person with a very small courage.

The terrifying space that suddenly unfolded, the [Satoru] that was torn into pieces and devoured, the continuous torture inflicted on it, and Morikami Nozomi who did all this with an expressionless face...

All of this was condensed into a mark full of fear, which was deeply engraved in this strange heart, completely destroying her will to resist, which was not very strong to begin with.

When Morikami Nozomi asked her to be his spirit, the first thought that came to her mind was not to take this opportunity to mess up Morikami Nozomi's soul (of course, now she no longer has the energy to do that), but rather she felt a little terrified -
