Nobody knew if the person in the room was the same Rena as the one in the corridor.
When Lin Sanjiu followed Reno into the room, she wasn't even sure if the person in front of her was the real Rena. She suppressed the urge to use her [Higher Consciousness Mimicry] and stopped in mid-air. Rena, who was standing in the living room, sensed that something was wrong. She put on a vigilant expression and straightened her back.
"Rena, let me attack," Reno said softly after thinking for a while. "That's the only way I can tell if you are the real Rena," Rena narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
Rena narrowed her eyes and glanced at him. Suddenly, she took two steps back and raised her chin, "Sure, but you have to let me attack you first."
The atmosphere instantly froze. The siblings looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them could say "okay" first. Even Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure who was the real Rena, let alone them.
The only thing Lin Sanjiu could be sure of was that the real siblings must have been corroded by the dark matter over the past few days. If they were to get hit by the spirit, they might end up like Lin Sanjiu. Furthermore, they didn't have any higher consciousness.
After some thought, Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and floated between the siblings. She wrote, "They might have left. Let's settle down first."
Lin Sanjiu had no other choice but it was impossible for her to leave this building for the time being. She could only calm the siblings down first and see what would happen next.
With such an easy way out, the tense atmosphere between the brother and sister relaxed a little.
To prevent the siblings from leaving each other's line of sight, the siblings cleared a space in the living room and sat cross-legged in the middle. Lin Sanjiu didn't know who started the conversation, but soon, the siblings began to recall the past cautiously. Whenever they talked about the past, they would ask, "Do you remember that year …" Then, they would look at each other suspiciously. Lin Sanjiu floated in the air.
She stared at the siblings on the ground, not daring to relax. At the same time, she replayed the events that had transpired over the past few days in her mind.
The layer of paper covering the truth was still there. No matter how she felt that she had caught on to something, she couldn't find the truth behind the paper.
Even though the information was not in sync … there were many things that she couldn't explain...
She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it. She subconsciously circled around in the air. After a while, he suddenly realized that the room had become quiet.
The siblings stared at each other. It was hard to tell if they were more relaxed or more vigilant than before.
"Brother, why do you remember some parts but not others?" Rena asked softly. Seeing that Reno was about to say something, she quickly shook her head as if she wanted to forget about this matter, "Forget it, let's talk about it later. It's getting late. What should we do now? "
"We'll do what we have to do," Reno replied gloomily as he glanced at his sister. She threw herself on the sofa. The sofa was split. The brother and sister sat opposite each other, making it convenient for them to monitor each other.
He said a little ruffian, "Conserve your strength and go to sleep."
As he spoke, he even flipped over. He didn't move for a long time with his back facing Rena. She couldn't tell if he had really fallen asleep.
In the world of Kisaragi Station, there was always more darkness than light. After four or five o'clock, even the gloomy and gloomy day was gone. Outside the window, there was only a pitch-black night.
She didn't know how much time had passed. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if it was a sound or a simple change in the air flow. However, it pulled her back from her cultivation.
This time, she didn't dare to immerse herself in her cultivation, so she didn't make much progress. She only finished developing her skull. Now that her brain was wrapped up, it looked like a skull floating in the air.
The skull didn't move. It just used its higher consciousness to scan its surroundings.
Reno had just sat up from the sofa. He had deliberately controlled himself so that he didn't make a sound. He looked at his sister, who was motionless, and the skull floating in the air. He stood up quietly and walked towards the washroom.
They were not allowed to leave each other's sight. However, there was one thing that they couldn't avoid: they couldn't follow Reno to the washroom.
The moment Reno left, Rena immediately flipped over. It seemed like she was pretending to be asleep.
Other than the silence between them, each with their own thoughts, everything seemed normal. Reno came back from the washroom. He lay down as usual. Neither of them said a word. Once again, the night fell into a deathly silence.
Just like that, a few hours passed. The night grew darker and darker. It was so dark that it was frightening. It looked like it was almost dawn. The siblings on the sofa were still the same. While they weren't paying attention, Lin Sanjiu flew out of the window to take a look. The few floors nearby were also dark. There wasn't a single sound of activity.
It felt like the siblings were the only ones in this building.
Lin Sanjiu wanted to fly further away to take a look. However, she was afraid that something might happen if she left. After thinking about it for a while, she finally flew back to the room, feeling a little anxious.
Rena was lying with her back facing the window. She didn't move an inch. However, when Lin Sanjiu flew past her, she couldn't help being stunned.
It wasn't surprising that Rena wasn't asleep. However, at that moment, Rena's eyes were wide open. She blinked at Lin Sanjiu as if she was trying to signal her with her eyes. Rena's face was hidden under the shadow of the sofa. If Lin Sanjiu didn't have a stronger higher consciousness than her eyes, she would have missed it.
"What is she doing?"
Lin Sanjiu moved closer, feeling a little puzzled.
When Rena noticed that Lin Sanjiu had noticed her, she immediately relaxed. However, her entire body was still tense. She didn't even dare to move a single hair on her body. She just pouted her lips slowly behind her.
Lin Sanjiu raised her "eyes" without batting an eyelid.
She was so shocked that she almost fell from the sky.
When she flew into the room with a preoccupied mind, she only caught a glimpse of where the siblings were. She didn't take a closer look. She only saw Rena lying with her back facing the window while Reno was facing his sister.
Indeed, Reno was lying facing his sister. However, under his face, the teenager's spine could still be vaguely seen. It was his back.
In other words, Reno's head was turned 180 degrees. His eyes were narrowed into slits as he stared at Rena. His body was still moving up and down.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was wondering why Rena wasn't moving, the girl suddenly waved at her. Even though Rena still looked scared, she had a determined look on her face.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
Rena sat up slowly and pretended to go to the washroom. "Reno" immediately turned his head away before Lin Sanjiu could turn around. He looked no different from a normal person.
Standing at the entrance of the washroom, Rena waved at Lin Sanjiu. Rena immediately floated to the other side of the living room as if she was looking for a place to rest. As Lin Sanjiu was currently in a translucent state, it wasn't difficult for her to follow Rena under the cover of the night. Seeing that "Reno" didn't seem to notice them, the two of them closed the door of the washroom silently.
"If we beat the grass and startled the snake," Rena said in a voice so soft that she couldn't even hear herself, "It would be fine if we beat it up. However, if we didn't beat it up and another one came, wouldn't we end up in the same situation as before? Even if we beat it into ashes, we still wouldn't know where my brother is … Why don't we keep this thing and spy on him? We might as well see if we can find any traces of my brother. "
The young girl seemed to have thought about this a few times. Even though she stuttered a little due to her fear, she sounded very certain.
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't think that this thing would lead them to Reno's real location, she still agreed to it after some thought.
"I'll go out first. You can sneak into the living room later. Don't let him find out that we were together just now." After Rena said that, she waited for a while before opening the door.
Nothing in the living room had changed. "Reno" was still sleeping on the sofa, not moving an inch. (To be continued.)
