Chapter 279: The exposed Shirazumi Rio

~6 min read 1,084 words

Ryougi Shiki is very kind. What is unexpected is that a woman who says "I'll kill even a god for you to see" every day has never actually killed anyone.

Since she was a child, Ryougi Shiki's grandfather told her:

A person can only kill one person in their lifetime.

Nasu didn't explicitly explain this sentence, but based on all of Ryougi Shiki's performances, it can be understood as:

The one person a person can kill in their lifetime is actually themselves. To be precise, it is their own humanity.

The moment a person decides to kill their own humanity, they can no longer be called human. All their subsequent actions are just slaughter, not killing a person.

Therefore, Ryougi Shiki will never kill a person. Of course, non-humans or lives that can no longer be called human are not included.

【April 22, 1995: The third murder case occurs. The police find the Taiji diagram symbol representing Ryougi on the victim.

April 25, 1995: The fourth murder case occurs. The police start patrolling at night.

April 26, 1995: Because there have been too many murders recently, the school requires female students to be picked up after school, so you are waiting at school for Lin Ye to pick you up.

However, at this time, you meet a strange person.

"I know you might not be in a good mood right now, but isn't four people a bit too much?"】

"What?"

Hearing this man's words, Ryougi Shiki's expression begins to change. She has been suspecting whether all the recent murders were the work of her other personality, and this man's words make Ryougi Shiki increasingly suspicious of her own actions.

Could it be that this man witnessed her actions?

【The man smiles slightly, then leaves your side. However, the moment he brushes past you, a figure appears in front of him and stops him. "Shirazumi Rio, where are you going?"】

The person stopping him is Lin Ye. Seeing Lin Ye blocking his way, Shirazumi Rio frowns and says, "Please move aside, you are blocking my path."

Blocking your path? "Lin Ye smiles slightly. "I'm not blocking anyone's path; I just... want to catch a murderer who is framing others."】

What!

At this moment, Ryougi Shiki's expression changes instantly. Lin Ye said, framing! Murderer!

Almost instantly, Ryougi Shiki understands what Lin Ye means!

She naturally trusts Lin Ye unconditionally, so, does Lin Ye know something?

【"I don't know what you are talking about! Please move aside."

Shirazumi Rio directly tries to push Lin Ye away, but unfortunately, how could his little bit of strength move Lin Ye?

Especially since Lin Ye silently takes out a small camera from his pocket.

"Do you want to leave? Then go ahead, but... the moment you walk out of this door, it will be your death day."

"You are threatening me!" Shirazumi Rio's expression changes; he subconsciously tries to grab the camera in Lin Ye's hand.

However, Lin Ye waves his hand and throws a few incredibly clear photos onto Shirazumi Rio's face.

Shirazumi Rio takes the photos. The moment he looks at them, his face instantly turns ashen!

"Impossible! How could this be!! These photos are fake!"

You hurry to Lin Ye's side. At this moment, you clearly see that the photos are nothing else but the entire process of Shirazumi Rio killing people!】

"This Shirazumi Rio!! It was him!"

Ryougi Shiki suddenly realizes. No wonder he said such strange things to her just now. It turns out he knew her situation and wanted to use words to make her doubt herself and then admit to these murders?

【"Fake? Whether it's fake or not isn't up to you, nor is it up to me; it's up to the police." Lin Ye shakes the camera in his hand, then looks at Shirazumi Rio with an incredibly cold tone. "Shirazumi Rio, you once confessed to Shiki and were rejected. Devastated, you wanted to prove you weren't weak by beating people, but accidentally killed the other party. So you awakened your Origin, and because you turned love into hate for Shiki, you decided to frame everything on Ryougi Shiki to ruin her. Am I right?"】

"Wrong! You're talking nonsense!" Shirazumi Rio waves his hand, trying to grab the camera in Lin Ye's hand. However, Lin Ye doesn't even move; he just glares!

Crack!

Shirazumi Rio's body begins to twist crazily! Immediately after, his limbs are exaggeratedly folded at 90 degrees, and he falls directly to the ground, twitching constantly!

"Ah!!! Ah!!!"

Shirazumi Rio wails in pain, yet Lin Ye's eyes show no pity.

He silently places the photos and the camera beside Shirazumi Rio, and then, the sound of police sirens rings out.

"By the way, I happened to call the police before I came. It seems the police are here for you now. Take care. I hope you like prison life. Boys who look like girls like you are said to be very popular in there."

After Lin Ye finishes speaking, he directly takes your hand and leaves.

"Don't let me go!! Please let me go! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Let me go!!"

Shirazumi Rio's pleas for mercy still ring out behind you, but neither you nor Lin Ye ever look back.

Shirazumi Rio is taken away. The students are terrified to hear that a murderer was right beside them.

And at this moment, you look curiously at Lin Ye beside you and ask,

"Lin Ye, how did you know he was the murderer?"

Hearing your question, Lin Ye smiles and points to his eyes. "My eyes. They can see things thousands of miles away, so I locked onto the target as soon as I knew there was a murderer. I didn't want to get involved, but since this unlucky guy wanted to frame you, so..."

Speaking of this, Lin Ye snaps his fingers!

Snap!

In an instant, Lin Ye's body disappears from before you, and then, click, click, click, accompanied by the sound of a camera shutter, Lin Ye's body appears again. "So... I gave him a small lesson."】

Pfft.

Ryougi Shiki can't help but laugh as she watches this scene.

A small lesson? If this is still a small lesson, then how many big lessons are there in this world?

However, hearing Lin Ye's words, Ryougi Shiki also understands that everything Lin Ye did was to help her, which makes Ryougi Shiki feel unprecedented warmth.

"It's really good to have him here." ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
