Chen Xiao released the sobbing, grief-stricken Umaru from his arms, his eyes glancing at Ebina out of the corner of his eye.
Ebina stood to the side, his chin gently lifted by Chen Xiao's fingertips: "Now, are you willing to accept everything about me?"
Ebina's pupils contracted sharply, and tears welled up again: "I'm willing... I'm willing!" She grabbed Chen Xiao's hand and pressed it against her face, "As long as I can be by your side... anything is fine..."
Chen Xiao smiled with satisfaction and turned to the stunned Xiao Mai: "And what about you?"
Umaru stared at Taihei's pale, lifeless face. "Now that my brother is gone, I don't want to talk about this. Can you give me some peace and quiet?"
Chen Xiao hugged Xiaomai's delicate body from behind. "People can't come back to life after they die. Life is always full of unexpected events. Xiaomai, I know you're in a lot of pain. If your brother were still alive, he wouldn't want you to suffer like this."
Xiaomai's eyes welled up with tears, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible as she gazed at Chen Xiao: "Brother... was it really just an accident?"
“Of course.” Chen Xiao hugged her from behind, his hand close to her cool earlobe. “How could you bear to doubt me?” His hand covered her chest, stroking it gently. “I’ve been with you from beginning to end! You shouldn’t have any doubts about me.”
Xiaomai nodded silently and nestled in Chen Xiao's arms.
Ebina suddenly knelt down, his trembling fingers unbuckling Chen Xiao's belt: "Master... let me prove to you my determination to love you, okay?"
Chen Xiao turned off the lights in the morgue.
Sitting in the police car, Yumi Miyamoto rested her chin on her hand, her mind replaying Chen Xiao's handsome face and wicked smile, like a curse from the devil that she couldn't shake off.
No...something's definitely wrong...Yumi slammed her fist on the steering wheel. She'd seen far too many murderers, but none like Chen Xiao—
Just the sight of Chen Xiaoguang standing there made one's legs go weak.
My phone vibrated again. My boyfriend, Hideyoshi Haneda, has called countless times today.
Yumi Miyamoto didn't answer the phone.
This is a brief news item:
[Yumi, what's wrong? I'm very worried. —Hideyoshi]
"I'm in a bad mood right now, please don't bother me." Under the blessing of the Dark Bible, Miyamoto Yumi's consciousness had already developed an attachment to Chen Xiao without her even realizing it.
Day three.
—On the day of the funeral, it was drizzling.
Umaru stood in front of the mourning hall, her black mourning clothes making her look even thinner, her eyes red and swollen like two peaches.
Ebina stood beside her, glancing at her worriedly every now and then, and then stealing glances at Chen Xiao, who was greeting guests.
Everything is so normal.
Of course, Chen Xiao's hands were inadvertently brushing against the dresses behind the two people, doing something that made people shy.
Xiaomai's face was slightly flushed.
As for Ebina, he took the initiative to shake Chen Xiao's hand.
"It's so pitiful. Umaru's brother passed away, and Chen Xiao hasn't slept for several days in a row. He stays by Umaru's side every day." Yui Yuigahama's gentle eyes fell on Chen Xiao.
Yukino Yukinoshita was deep in thought, looking at Chen Xiao's seemingly perfect face and his gentle and warm smile, but she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the death of Umaru's brother was also related to Chen Xiao?
—Until Miyamoto Yumi pushed open the door and entered.
She was dressed in a solemn black suit, her police badge gleaming coldly on her chest, and the sound of her high heels clicking on the wooden floor was exceptionally clear.
Chen Xiao was arranging the bouquet when she noticed the movement and slightly raised her eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into that familiar, heart-fluttering smile.
“That was unexpected,” he straightened up and walked slowly toward her. “I thought detectives only appeared at crime scenes.”
Miyamoto Yumi's breathing faltered slightly, and her heart suddenly began to race.
—Damn it! Why does this happen when I get close to him?
She forced herself to remain calm, coldly raising her eyes to stare at him: "Nothing much, just came to visit the deceased's family and offer my condolences."
Chen Xiao suddenly leaned forward.
"Really? I thought..."
Chen Xiao's lips almost touched her earlobe, his breath hot, "You came here because of me."
Yumi Miyamoto's ears instantly burned, blood rushed to her brain, and her fingertips went numb. She took a step back abruptly, her lips trembling:
"What nonsense!"
But Chen Xiao just watched her quietly, his eyes filled with a mocking yet chilling desire for control, as if he had already seen through all her struggles.
He even casually raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing aside a stray strand of hair at her temple, his voice so gentle it was almost bewitching:
"I can hear your heartbeat."
He's teasing her!
Miyamoto Yumi almost gritted her teeth, but her body seemed to betray her, involuntarily becoming hot towards Chen Xiao.
Stay calm, Yumi! You must stay calm! There's definitely something wrong with this man.
I should hate it, but...—damn attraction!
Chen Xiao looked at Miyamoto Yumi's expression with surprise. It seemed that the Dark Bible still couldn't completely control the chaste and virtuous woman. However, it was clear that she was on the verge of collapse.
Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something and glanced at Teacher Hiratsuka, "Teacher...aren't we going on a trip to Chiba Prefecture in a while? I remember there's a place called Shiratani Village...I'd really like to go and see it."
"Hmm..." Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled, "Why are we suddenly talking about places like that?"
Miyamoto Yumi seemed thoughtful. Shiratani Village? It seemed necessary to investigate further. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." After saying this, Miyamoto Yumi memorized the date three days later; she planned to investigate there as well.
At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita was also deep in thought, "Why bring up that kind of place all of a sudden? It seems necessary to pay attention to it."
The funeral hall was set up late into the night.
After Chen Xiao saw the guests off,
Umaru and Ebina were held in Chen Xiao's arms. "Alright, it's getting late, we should go back to our rooms to rest."
The two beauties blushed slightly, nodded, and looked at Chen Xiao shyly.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Female Star of White Turbid Village, Miyu Kagami
Late at night, the funeral ended, but it still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of Chen Xiao, Xiao Mai, and Ebina.
The fluorescent light on the game screen flickered in the darkness.
"Take this!" Umaru's slender fingers flew across the controller, and on the screen, Mai Shiranui unleashed fiery moves, forcing her opponent into a corner.
She curled up on the sofa like a lazy cat, her long golden hair cascading over Chen Xiao's lap.
Chen Xiao's fingertips twirled her hair, while his other hand skillfully controlled the game character.
Ken's fiery rising dragon punch ripped through the screen and struck Mai Shiranui precisely in the chest.
"Ah!" Xiaomai exclaimed softly, almost dropping the controller. "Brother Chen Xiao is too cunning!"
Ebina wrapped her arms around Chen Xiao's waist from behind, her cheek pressed against his back. She could feel the strong muscles in his shirt, and hear the captivating sound of his heartbeat. "Master..." she murmured unconsciously, her breathing gradually quickening.
Chen Xiao put down the controller, suddenly grabbed Mai Shiranui's chin and turned her to the screen: "How about you dress like this to play with me next time?" He pointed to Mai Shiranui's sexy fighting outfit, "It will definitely suit you."
Xiaomai's ear tips instantly turned bright red.
"Don't you want to?"
"No...no..." Xiaomai shook her head frantically, her blonde hair brushing against Chen Xiao's collarbone, "If Brother Chen Xiao likes it..." Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
Chen Xiao is Xiao Mai's only family!
Ebina suddenly sat up, the strap of her black nightgown slipping down: "Then I'll wear Chun-Li's sailor uniform!" Her eyes gleamed in the darkness, "I can... transform into whatever Master likes!"
Chen Xiao chuckled softly as he turned off the game console. The moment the room plunged into darkness, moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, outlining the intertwined shadows of the three figures.
"Would you be willing to have my child?" His voice was like melting chocolate, sweet yet dangerous.
Umaru's fingertips gripped the blanket.
"If you're not willing... I won't force you." Chen Xiao's sigh brushed against their cheeks like a feather.
"I'm willing!" Ebina almost shouted, his voice filled with a morbid urgency, "As long as they are my master's children... I'll give my master as many as I want!..."
"I...I...am willing too!" Tears streamed down her face silently, but she smiled sweetly. "As long as it's Chen Xiao's..."
"Now, immediately!"
Umaru and Ebina were clearly surprised by how quickly it happened! "As long as it's for Brother Chen Xiao! It doesn't matter what!" the two beauties said in shy voices.
Winning over a girl without using the Dark Bible is much more satisfying than using it.
After three hours of fierce fighting.
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully captured Umaru's heart in the labyrinth of emotions and achieved a key bond. The system hereby bestows upon you a mysterious reward—Infinite Tsukuyomi. This technique can weave a web of illusions and open up a wondrous realm where reality and illusion intertwine."
"Congratulations, host, you have taken your emotional entanglement with Ebina a step further and successfully brought him under your command. The system bestows a mysterious gift—the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. These eyes can see through the death lines of all things and control the secrets of life and death."
Chen Xiao discovered that his eyes could now see the line of death, which was equivalent to having the power of Ryougi Shiki!
As for Infinite Tsukuyomi? Isn't it just a more advanced form of Dark Bible power? If we have enough power, we can release Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon and let all of humanity live in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi. That seems like a pretty good option.
Chen Xiao was still thinking when she got up, put on her clothes, dried her hair, and prepared to start a new day.
It's already six o'clock in the morning.
Crimson camellias bloom on the branches.
It's so beautiful, like something that represents Umaru and Ebina, it's deep red.
Two more days have passed.
Chen Xiao, Xiao Mai, and Ebina walked affectionately down the corridor.
The day before today's school trip, a commotion suddenly broke out in the school corridor.
"It's Ms. Kagami Miu!"
"Really? That super popular idol?!"
The crowd surged forward like a tide, flashes of light from cameras going off one after another. Chen Xiao stopped and looked into the distance.
A slender young woman was surrounded in the middle of the corridor. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like silk, and her profile was breathtakingly beautiful in the sunlight!
"SSS-level top-tier beauty! Kagami Miu: Source: 'The Village of White Turbidity!'" The system displayed the beauty's information!
Even with sunglasses on, she couldn't hide her breathtakingly beautiful face. Her form-fitting school uniform accentuated her perfect curves, and her long legs beneath the skirt drew frequent glances from the boys around her.
