Kazuma: "Then Akanishi became more courageous. When did this senior sister die?"
"When they were in the second year of high school." The dream-eating tapir did not hide it, "Watanabe-kun finally came out of the shadows thanks to Akanishi's comfort and constant dreaming. But this young man just refused to be called Akanishi's name. If he If you weren’t so stubborn, probably it wouldn’t have ended like that.”
He bit his lip with the horse.
He probably guessed what happened next.
The Nightmare Eater continued: "It may be because of Watanabe's persistence and yearning for his senior sister that his soul began to purify himself, and Akanishi's influence on him became less and less.
"Based on my experience, there is no human being who can break free from our control in a dream. Akanishi just happened to meet one, and I don't know whether to say she is lucky or unlucky.
"Akanishi felt that she was losing control of Watanabe, but she didn't know why, which made her very anxious.
"She could only try to comfort herself, saying that this might be temporary, but Watanabe started reading books about dreams.
"She told you that she also read related books to have a common topic with Watanabe. In fact, she was inspired and wanted to find a more efficient way to control dreams from human theories.
"However, Watanabe's growth rate was too fast, and soon Watanabe had consciousness in a dream, which was probably in May 1980.
"Akanishi didn't invade Watanabe's dream for a long time after that because he was too afraid that Watanabe would find out the truth, but the fear grew day by day.
"Watanabe has been very keen on searching for monsters since then. When they were in the Department of Mysteries, Watanabe just looked at monsters, urban legends, and other things with a curious mind.
"But since May 1980, Watanabe seems to have confirmed the existence of the mysterious side, and began to focus on finding the mysterious world hidden behind modern society."
The nightmare-eating tapir stopped and sighed.
He Ma: "He doesn't want to revive Senior Sister, does he?"
"It's probably like this." The dream-eating tapir looked at Kazuma, "You humans are becoming paranoid, and even us monsters feel ashamed."
Tamamo: "It's better to say that we monsters have nothing to care about because our lives are too long, so we have nothing to do with paranoia."
Dream-eating tapir: "Why, I think you are very paranoid about becoming a human being."
"Is that worthy of being called paranoid?" Yuzao asked back, "It's just some thoughts that arise in a boring situation. Let's continue with Watanabe's story."
The dream-eating tapir shook his nose, and continued: "Because Watanabe-kun is in that state, when he saw the white figure suspected of being a half-demon, he immediately fell into a state of being possessed. Speaking of which, I I was just paying attention to this matter, but I didn't see that Bai Mao was the heir of that guy at all."
Kazuma: "Because that is the child adopted by Shantaro. Kentaro's identity is... I won't tell you."
Halfway through the conversation, Hema realized that the nightmare-eating tapir might become an enemy, and he couldn't just hand over the information to it.
"Well, anyway, I'm going to find Yamataro in the future, just ask him directly."
The dream-eating tapir directly used Shantaro to refer to the wolf god, and Kazuma suddenly felt that maybe the wolf's name would become Shantaro from now on.
The dream-eating tapir picked up the topic that was interrupted by himself: "Watanabe was very excited, they directly found the old lady named Noda, because this old lady told people about the fox in the mountains eating heart and liver.
"Watanabe also asked Grandma Noda before, but because the question was pointless, the old lady just told some stories that sounded similar to ordinary country legends, so Watanabe didn't take it to heart.
"This time, Watanabe described the appearance of the monster in detail based on the figure he saw, and asked very specific questions. As a result, Grandma Noda recalled the scene she saw when she was a child."
Confused with the horse, the process described by Akanishi Feng is not so different from that described by the Nightmare Tapir, as Akanishi tampered with many details.
Dream-eating tapir: "Watanabe is very excited, and Akanishi is very scared. Because she knows that the mysterious side really exists, and she is a member of the mysterious side.
"Before she came into contact with the mysterious side, relying on this ability to dream, she had an illusion of 'I am the protagonist of this world', and the appearance of residents of another mysterious side gave her a sense of crisis."
Yuzao: "Humans always have a process from thinking that they are the king of the world to realizing that they are just a member of all living beings. Many people are afraid of this process and are unwilling to accept this."
He Ma nodded: "Humans always find that ordinary is the only answer after crossing mountains and seas, and passing through mountains and crowds."
The nightmare-eating tapir took a look at the two of them, and continued after confirming that they didn't want to interrupt anymore:
"As a half-human, Akanishi is obviously not exempt. She refuses more mysteries to intervene in her life, so she wants to destroy the film that may have taken the 'mysterious creature'.
"So she sneaked into Watanabe and Oda's room while Watanabe was taking a bath.
"There she confronted the guy who came to steal the camera... what's the name of that white-haired guy?"
Kazuma: "Kentaro, this is the name Yamataro gave him."
The Nightmare Eater frowned: "The name is as bad as his haiku!"
He Ma nodded: "I feel the same, so I backhandedly named it Shantaro, just to laugh at his rubbish naming level."
The dream-eating tapir laughed loudly: "It must have had an interesting expression at that time. Come on, hurry up and finish this, I'm going to meet Shantaro, and laugh at him. He lived so lonely and arrogant, after all, he was still a human being I named it a dog, hahahaha."
Kazuma: "At that time, I really planned to call Shantaro Xiaobai, but he didn't seem to like it very much, so forget it."
Tamamo: "No, I think he will accept it with a frown. He is not a monster who cares about such trivial things."
Nightmare-eating tapir: "Indeed."
He Ma: "By the way, you know so much about Akanishi, have you been watching?"
The nightmare-eating tapir shook its nose: "I don't need to see it from the side, I just need to use the blood connection between me and Akanishi, and come to her dream every night to extract memories. It was the first time I saw 'the same kind' that day. ' Akanishi was so shocked that he lost his ability to move.
"She even forgot that she should leave the scene as soon as possible, and when she remembered, the boys had already finished taking a shower.
"Akanishi, who left the room in a hurry, bumped into Ozawa head-on."
Talk to the horse.
"So Ozawa was silenced?"
"That's it. Of course Akanishi didn't do that right away, and she couldn't do it either. In desperation, she almost couldn't choose to use her beauty. She bumped into Ozawa, and pulled off the belt of the yukata by herself.
"Under the bathrobe, there are often no clothes, you should understand."
He Ma shook his head: "I don't understand, I haven't read it."
The dream-eating tapir looked at Yuzao meaningfully, and then said to Kazuma: "Then I advise you to be careful, some monsters like to play men around with bad checks."
Tamamo: "This time is different, because this time, I am the heroine of the story."
The nightmare-eating tapir was shocked, and looked Yuzao up and down: "This is really unusual, you are serious."
After finishing speaking, it changed the subject and returned to Akanishi: "In short, Akanishi played a trick on Ozawa who still didn't understand the situation, and then ran away while he was confused.
"Later Watanabe lost his camera, Ozawa originally wanted to say that he saw Akanishi coming out of the room, but he said that he had glanced at Akanishi before, but was restrained by Akanishi's pitiful expression.
"Later, because Ozawa was the first to come back from the bathhouse, others were suspicious of him, but Akanishi stood up to speak for Ozawa, so Ozawa began to believe that Akanishi who was on his side was a good person, and she must not have stolen the things.
"Poor Ozawa, who doesn't understand the horror of women at all, and doesn't see the bullying aimed at him, all of which are fueled by Akanishi.
"And Watanabe is Ozawa's real ally, because Watanabe firmly believes that the 'secret organization' stole the camera to ensure that the mysterious side is not revealed.
"If Watanabe-kun hadn't died in the mountains the next day, Ozawa probably wouldn't have been bullied so thoroughly.
"After the camera incident, Akanishi felt that she was pushed to the edge of a cliff. She was afraid that after the real mystery came into contact with Watanabe, Watanabe would understand that she had been playing tricks all these years.
"She's even more afraid that Watanabe will find out that she actually killed Senior Sister."
Yuzao interjected at this time: "I guess her subconscious mind is still afraid of the collapse of the transcendent self-awareness established through 'superpowers'."
The dream-eating tapir took a look at Yuzao: "Maybe. I don't understand what you are saying. In short, this kind of fear exceeds her love for Watanabe.
"I've seen many noble and selfless human beings, but Akanishi was not one of them. She made choices that a selfish normal person would make.
"Of course, maybe after so many years of fruitless pursuit, she is indeed a little tired.
"She wants to kill Watanabe, cut off the possibility of exposing herself, and also cut off the possibility of connecting with the real mysterious side."
He Ma: "Hasn't she thought about joining the mysterious side and learning to better control her own power?"
He Ma is the kind of person who knows the existence of the mysterious side and will pursue it without hesitation. If someone gives him two pills to choose like Murphys in The Matrix, he will definitely choose to see the truth of the world.
If the computer suddenly pops up a dialog box and asks him "do you want to really live", then definitely - choose NO, because you want to avoid copyright issues.
Yuzao looked at Kazuma: "Everyone has their own different choices, you can choose to hug me, then Akanishi can choose to stick his head into the ground and be an ostrich."
No, believe me, most Chinese men will choose to embrace the white-haired vixen.
Dream-eating tapir: "Akanishi has already made her choice, and it is meaningless to say these things here. She decided to kill Watanabe, so that night, she chose Yumeng Xiaotian.
"Although Akanishi's dreams of invading Oda are rare, over the years, she has made Oda her loyal follower.
"And after Watanabe gained self-awareness in the dream in May, Akanishi didn't dare to dream of Watanabe again, so she began to dream of Oda frequently to strengthen her influence on Oda.
"I'm afraid that from that time on, Akanishi subconsciously had the idea of using Oda to kill Watanabe.
"On the night when the camera was lost, Akanishi instilled in Oda an idea in his dream: Watanabe failed Akanishi for his dead senior, and Watanabe made Akanishi miserable.
"The next day after doing this, she performed a scene on the mountain. When the three of them acted together, Akanishi held Watanabe and stopped Watanabe from continuing to track down the white-haired figure, saying that Watanabe had already suffered from a demon.
"Most importantly, she yelled out 'senpai is dead, you can't bring him back to life'
"Watanabe was furious, and slapped Akanishi with his hands, and walked towards the mountain alone angrily.
"Oda looked at Akanishi who fell to the ground crying bitterly, gritted his teeth and followed.
"No one noticed Akanishi's slightly curved mouth at that time."
He Ma: "Is this the description you added yourself?"
"Of course I added it, otherwise it would be dry, wouldn't it sound good?" The dream-eating tapir shook his nose and continued, "Things turned out better than Akanishi expected, Watanabe and Oda fell into the cliff together, the police came It is judged that it was a two-person accident."
Kazuma: "Wait a minute! Actually, don't you know what happened when you fell off the cliff? You can't be sure if Kentaro pushed people down the mountain?"
"I only retrieved Akanishi's memory. How did she say it for... that? It's that word that often appears in detective stories..."
He Ma: "Alibi."
"Yes, an alibi. For this, Akanishi joined the brigade a long time ago. So I naturally don't know what happened on the mountain in the end. But Akanishi believes that it was Oda who pushed Watanabe off the cliff, and then Stumbled and fell."
Talk to the horse.
Strange to say, since he met Shantaro, he always wanted to pick Kentaro out of the murderer.
As a result, until now, there is still no direct evidence to prove whether Kentaro participated in the final murder.
It is possible that Kentaro just led Watanabe to the edge of the cliff, and Oda moved his hand.
However, this is just wishful thinking with horses, and there is no evidence.
At this time, the dream-eating tapir suddenly thought of something again, and said, "Speaking of which, Chixi heard a rumor that night. The search and rescue team said that they were at a loss and planned to wait until dawn the next day before continuing to look for someone. The head of the shrine insisted that the first 12 hours are the golden rescue time, and we must continue to search.
"Then someone saw the apparition of the mountain god in the mountains, guiding them to find the footprints left by Watanabe."
He Ma: "Is this true? Didn't you just make it up?"
"Why did I make up something that would be revealed if you asked me? But you have been inquiring for so long, and you haven't asked about it at all?"
Hema shook his head: "No, not at all. So, this mountain god's manifestation, could it be Kentaro?"
"How do I know." The nightmare-eating tapir shook his head, "I have fulfilled my promise and told you all the ins and outs of what I know. Ah, yes, I missed a tail.
"After that, Akanishi felt more and more that Ozawa was a threat, so she comforted him, pretending that she was his only ally, and at the same time pushed everyone to bully Ozawa. She didn't rely on the means of dreaming, but did just that.
"During that time, there was only one thing she did in her dream, and that was to incite Ozawa's desire to seek death. She was already familiar with it.
"In addition, Ozawa's heart is quite fragile, so in the last few days of the summer vacation, he couldn't bear it, so he chose to end his life on the rooftop of the Danjilou rented by Watanabe."
The dream-eating tapir stopped and looked at Kazuma: "So, it is meaningless for you to worry about how Watanabe died in the end, because Akanishi has already killed two people. According to the idea of killing for life, did she kill Watanabe? It doesn't matter, it's a death penalty anyway.
"It's just the laws of human beings, and it can't punish her. Son of man chosen by Yuzao, what are you going to do? I'll wait and see."
He Ma: "You...don't protect her?"
"It was supposed to be preserved. But now it's not necessary. Because of Yuzao's instruction, I saw the way to obtain the power of my soul. It's just a half-demon with thin blood. Why don't you use her to see what you can do? choose."
Yuzao sneered and said, "Hmph, you are still a bystander, if you don't become part of the story, you will never get real soul power."
"I'm already part of the story, Tamamo-mae, and my influence on this story is probably beyond your imagination."
He Ma suddenly said: "You don't have anything to do with welfare technology, do you?"
The nightmare-eating tapir fell silent.
He Ma: "Hey, I'm just kidding, can't I?"
The dream-eating tapir suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the child of destiny. I thought all the divinations had been invalidated. It seems that Yuzaoqian's divination is still very good. You can actually find the node that stirs up the fate accurately. .”
Tamamo: "Maybe it's because I read a lot of quantum mechanics books?"
He Ma: "Did you enter Beigao after divination?"
At this time, Yuzao said to Kazuma with encrypted means such as reading words: "How is it possible, it is just a lucky encounter. Rather, this may be a gift of fate."
He Ma: "I don't like this statement, because fate has already set a price for every gift."
While having such a conversation with Hema, Yuzao said with a smile on the surface: "Yes, although my divination can't tell me who the specific person is, it's okay to guide me to Beigao and wait."
Nightmare Eater: "It seems that the mysterious decline is a little slower than I thought. It doesn't matter. We will meet in the future and talk about the future. What I care about now is, son of man, how are you going to deal with this girl?"
The nightmare-eating tapir manipulated the dream, tied the dumbfounded Chi Xifeng to a cross, and stood it up.
He Ma: "I want to clarify the last question, why did she come back again? According to what you said, she should be afraid of the real mystery that will make her lose her psychological advantage, then she should never come back to this place again .”
Dream-eating tapir: "I don't know. She has a complicated human side, and there are many things I can't figure out."
He Ma: "Is that so..."
The nightmare-eating tapir urged: "Don't dawdle, the time outside is about to dawn. There is no way for human laws to sanction her. If you want to sanction her, you can only do so in this dream. Get rid of her and make her a vegetable ...but she is now asleep in your room herself.
"If she turns into a vegetable like this, you will definitely be pushed to the forefront of public opinion. Even if you didn't do anything, based on my understanding of human beings, they will definitely think that you did something. Not only will your reputation be affected Unfortunately, your disciples who are in your room now will also be regarded as accomplices!
"If you choose to protect yourself, then you can only let her go and watch her get away with it. Justice that lets go of crime is flawed justice!"
The dream-eating tapir laughed out loud.
He Ma suddenly felt that this guy was somewhat similar to the classic villain Joker in the Batman series.
At this time, Yuzao said: "It is not bad to choose procedural justice at this time. In fact, many people think that procedural justice is the fairest and most perfect justice."
Smacking lips with a horse: "This is also a practice, so Batman never kills."
In fact, the very first Batman was to kill bad guys, but at that time DC Comics was still in its infancy, and many classic settings had not yet been formed.
A murderous Batman is absolutely impossible to have such a classic rivalry with the Joker, and it is impossible to give birth to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
Dream-eating tapir: "Come on! Choose! Although I don't know what procedural justice is, I think it's just a kind of self-deception among human beings. No matter what, choose!"
Take a deep breath with the horse.
"I can't let a killer go unpunished. I'm going to make her pay here."
The nightmare-eating tapir laughed loudly: "Did you see that, Tamamo-mae! Human beings are no different from before! Powerful human beings will take it for granted that they have the power to fish and meat others, no different from us powerful monsters! Wake up, Tamamo-mae! Then join forces with me..."
Tamamo: "So what? Powerful human beings have the ability to decide the fate of many people, whether they intend to or not.
"One mistake by a powerful human being may send tens of thousands of people into hell.
"On the surface, it really is.
"But, don't you understand when you look at the current world? It is not a powerful human being or a group of powerful human beings who finally defeat the mystery.
"It is the whole of mankind that pushes the mystery to the limit. Those powerful humans are just a part of the whole of mankind.
"Without those peddlers, Mystery would never have come to an end like this.
"In recent decades, I have learned a new saying called 'history is created by the masses of the people'. If you don't realize that individual powerful human beings are all part of the people, you will certainly not be able to succeed.
"Although Hema has the ability to change the fate of several people or even a group of people, he is only a part of mankind. Even he can't change the trend of the entire history, and can't stop the mysterious decline.
"And my wish has always been to 'become a human being'. Even if Kazuma chooses himself as the judge to hand down the verdict on Chi Xifeng, even if he chooses to disregard procedural justice, it will not affect my wish."
Yuzao stopped and stared at the dream-eating tapir with her head held high.
"I advise you to give up, dream-eating tapir, and accept the reality. The result of going against the trend of history is to be crushed by the torrent. Even without me, Kiryu and Ma, you will only end up in a miserable end .
"This has nothing to do with who is going to judge Chi Xifeng here, it is two independent things."
The dream-eating tapir snorted: "Let's wait and see. By the way, don't forget to tell this Kiryu-kun how terrible I am."
After speaking, the figure of the nightmare-eating tapir became blurred and gradually faded away.
After waiting for a few seconds with the horse, he asked, "Did it leave?"
"Hmm." Yuzao nodded, and then looked at Akanishi Feng who was still hanging on the cross, "It seems that it left the execution of Akanishi to us. How about I do it..."
"No, I'll come." After talking with the horse, he raised his hand and pulled out the long knife from the void. He could feel that it was Murasame who came this time.
It is a murder sword.
Holding a sword, Kazuma walked into the cross where Akanishi was hanging, and suddenly felt that Akanishi was a bit charming...
Yuzao: "Remember, even if her subjective consciousness is in a coma, the id is still active. This is a dream. She is a half-demon of the nightmare, and she is protecting herself."
He Ma nodded: "I know."
Yuzao added: "Actually, following procedural justice is also a solution."
"And then? Because I followed procedural justice, another person was killed by this guy. She has lost her norm, and she will definitely continue to kill. Don't expect a prisoner who has killed two people to repent, it's just a work of art .”
In fact, most serial murderers have not repented, and those who can repent are mostly those who kill impulsively.
Kazuma clenched the knife in his hand and walked to the cross.
In his eyes, Akanishi became more charming, and it was obvious that this half-demon self was trying to protect herself even more.
At this moment, He Ma suddenly thought, what if the nightmare-eating tapir lied about everything
What if senior sister's death is just her autism
What if it was Kentaro who killed Watanabe and turned Oda into a vegetable
What if Ozawa really just committed suicide
Shouldn't we wait for this dream to end, investigate one by one according to what the nightmare eater said, and find the corresponding evidence in reality before making a judgment
But at that time, after it was really confirmed that Chi Xifeng killed someone, what should I do if Chi Xifeng refused to admit it
Then let Yuzao forcefully invade the dream and execute the execution in the dream
Tamamo is not a dream monster, and she is no longer forever seventeen.
If she is allowed to use the demon power, will it cause her life to be shortened
Sure enough, it would be better if Akanishi ended up here, right
He Ma suddenly realized that at this moment, he had made a second verdict.
He judged the value of the lives of Akanishi and Tamamo, thinking that Tamamo's life was more valuable.
At this time, Akashi opened his eyes.
She suddenly panicked: "What's wrong? Why do I..."
He Ma: "I know everything."
"What do you mean?" Akanishi widened his eyes, "What are you talking about?"
"I know you killed that senior."
Talk to the horse.
At that moment, Akanishi's expression became very ugly.
It is certain that the death of senior sister must have something to do with Akanishi.
This made Kazuma breathe a sigh of relief.
"I... I didn't do it on purpose!" Akanishi said, "I didn't think she would really die! I just wanted to try! I just wanted to try! No! How can you prove what I did in my dream, Leading to the death of Senior Sister?"
Kazuma didn't answer, and continued: "You let Oda kill Watanabe."
Chixi roared hysterically: "This is slander! You are from a law school, right? You accuse me of having to tell evidence!"
Kazuma continued: "The night you lost the camera, you sneaked into Watanabe's room and saw the white-haired figure stealing the camera. You were too surprised and forgot to run away for a while, but it was too late when you remembered to run away.
"You happened to meet Ozawa who was the first one to come back when you went out."
Akashi was stunned: "You...you know everything?"
He Ma: "Of course. Because just when you lost consciousness, the real nightmare-eating tapir came. It is the old acquaintance of this Yuzao here."
Yuzao: "That's right, we are good friends. Laoshi has been looking at you because you have its blood and are its granddaughter. By the way, Laoshi is a righteous monster, but it thinks it is a monster and can't control it human affairs."
Hema took a look at Yuzao, thinking that you guys don't even type out the belly script when you make up lies.
However, I am not qualified to say that you are.
In order to get the truth, I must not lie, I must deceive.
I failed to observe procedural justice.
Facing the lies that Kiryu, Ma and Tamamomae had woven together, Akanishi Feng struggled for a while, then sighed.
"Yes, that's right. I induced my senior to commit suicide and finally won Watanabe's heart—I thought so. Then I found out that I was wrong, very wrong.
"Watanabe was frantically looking for the mysterious side, wanting to use the mysterious power to revive his beloved senior sister. Then that day, he saw that white figure.
"The loss of the camera strengthened his mind. And I was very scared, afraid that he would find out that I did everything. So I gave Oda instructions in my dream.
"The next day, I acted as expected, and after being separated from the team, I had a big fight with Watanabe.
"Watanabe left in a huff, Oda followed, and I suppressed my smile and chose to join my team to create an alibi.
"I won. Then I killed Ozawa who might have stepped on something. I did it."
After finishing speaking, Chi Xifeng let out a long sigh of relief, looking relieved.
"Come on, punish me. I have long wanted to plead guilty to the law."
Kazuma frowned and glanced at Tamamo.
Yuzao spread her hands.
He Ma looked at Chi Xifeng on the cross again, hesitated for a while, and put down the long knife in his hand.
"You...convicted?"
"Of course, that's why I came back here. I just think that here, maybe I can meet the real mysterious side, and someone who can punish me. Let's do it, Kiryu-kun."
Chi Xifeng closed his eyes.
He Ma took a deep breath: "No, I won't kill a person who pleaded guilty, you just use the rest of your life to atone for it—
"Miss Akanishi, you should know that in your dream, your true self will break through the shackles of the ego to a certain extent, and show it? The corners of your mouth are curved exaggeratedly."
Chi Xifeng opened his eyes sharply, staring at Kazuma: "Impossible! I..."
Kazuma: "Come on, Miss Akanishi!
"I knew you must remember what Yuzao said to me before!"
At the beginning of that dream, facing the constant gags with the horse, Yuzao explained twice, saying that the self would transcend the control of the self and affect the dream.
At that time, Chi Xifeng had been listening by the side.
He Ma: "You should be more confident! After all, I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm still a rookie who entered the dreamland for the third time!
"And you are a half-demon of the blood of the dream-eating tapir, a veteran who has manipulated dreams for more than four years!
"If you still can't suppress yourself, isn't it too shameful?"
Chi Xifeng was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly grinned to the ears: "Wonderful! But, I won't sit still!"
Her figure collapsed, and her upper body changed—
However, Kazuma has already swung his sword forward!
"Go to hell!"
Hema roared angrily, and swung his knife to chop down. The half-demon whose upper body was a demon and whose lower body was human was cut in two.
Amid the painful wailing, everything named Chi Xifeng was wiped out.
