Fortunately, the Thousand Faces Family wear masks from birth.
She picked up her brother's blood-stained mask.
She said she could be the older brother.
The parents seemed happy for a moment, but then, as if remembering something, they shook their heads again.
The mother said, "You don't have your brother's talent; you can't become Suyo."
The father said, "You overestimate yourself! Do you think you can just take anyone's place in this Suyo? Who do you think you are!"
But her parents didn't stop her, thinking they could keep it a secret for as long as possible.
So, at such a young age, she exchanged masks with her deceased brother.
At "Shi's" funeral, the clansmen were filled with joy.
Everyone's saying, thankfully it was poetry that died, not Suyo.
He even came to comfort her, saying that it was only right for her sister to die in her place.
"It's an honor for your sister."
"To die for the future of the family, your sister must be able to rest in peace with a smile! Hahaha!"
To everyone else, poetry is the one that should die, Suyo should be the one that lives.
But the result was exactly the opposite.
The one who survived was the "unworthy" daughter.
What died was "the hope of the family."
Poetry—no, now it's being Suyo.
Suyo thought to herself, "My brother is such a fool."
So--
Now it's my turn to be the idiot.
Suyo put his brother's mask on his face.
From this day forward—
In Suyo life, there is nothing but training.
I've lost count of how many times I've collapsed from exhaustion during training.
Because if she didn't do that, she, lacking talent, wouldn't be able to become as strong as her brother.
And whenever he encounters setbacks, whenever he faces obstacles in his spiritual practice, Suyo always thinks—
If my older brother were to do it, would he be able to do it?
No!
It is definitely possible!
Because my brother is the most amazing genius in the entire City of Kindling!
Therefore, I must do it too!
Having taken my brother's life, I must become the older brother!
If she can't do that, she won't find any meaning in living...
So, it will be done.
She will force herself to do it.
She bears her brother's name, she wears her brother's mask...
Like that all-powerful older brother—
Win everything!!!
The music, tinged with a touch of melancholy, slowly faded away.
The live stream then switched back to the match in the ring.
Holding the "Imagery Forgery" of Suyo, he stared straight at Qiji.
The small face beneath the mask looked like a cat with its fur standing on end—super fierce!
Super fierce!!!
The atmosphere of the live stream chat changed instantly because of this sudden flashback!
It must be said that the flashback scenes in the anime series "Echo" are exceptionally well-made.
The music and visuals are perfectly intertwined, drawing the audience in and making them empathize with the story every time.
Moreover, because Suyo's attitude towards Bai Lili was extremely "bad" before, many viewers who liked Bai Lili in the barrage comments were particularly enthusiastic in criticizing her, and their words were often extremely vulgar and offensive.
Upon learning the truth, I suddenly felt guilty.
—So, the Suyo they've been raving about for two weeks is actually a super beautiful, strong, and tragic young woman?
This is a huge misunderstanding!!!
Thus, the guilt of wrongly Suyo turned into understanding and heartache.
The popularity of the Suyo surged against the odds at an astonishing speed that no one had anticipated!
"Waaaaah... Suyo-chan... I didn't know you suffered so much... Why didn't you tell me sooner?! (bursts into tears)"
"Suyo-chan has made a stunning exoneration!!! It turns out that her attitude towards Lili was because she didn't want to hold Lili back. We all misunderstood her, sob sob sob!!!"
"Brother Ji, I'm sorry, but this time, I'm siding with Suyo-chan!"
"Prisoner Ji, please let Suyo win just this once (crying)"
"Hajiqi, go easy on her this time! Don't hit my Suyo-chan! She's still a child!"
Living under the identity of the older brother, Suyo behind the mask, is actually younger than all the first-year students.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that she is "still a child".
"Brothers, don't panic! The betting hasn't closed yet, follow me and Suyo! As the saying goes, a full-health 'Memory' character gets its lunchbox (eliminated), while a 'Memory' character with low health will surely make a comeback!"
"That's right, now's the time to turn the tables!"
"Prisoner Ji, it's your turn to lose this time! (doge)"
Of course, at this moment, Qiji, who was on the stage, had no idea what was happening in the live broadcast room.
He didn't watch the live stream.
At this moment, Qiji simply looked down at his wristwatch, preoccupied with keeping track of the time.
-- Six minutes and sixteen seconds to go.
While Qiji was checking the time, Suyo had already made up his mind.
She looked at Qiji, her voice, through the mask, carrying a hint of resolute hoarseness:
"Qiji- kun, I might as well tell you something—"
I'm in a really bad mood right now.
So, if you want to admit defeat, do it sooner rather than later.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist...
I'll beat you until you cry uncontrollably!!!
Qiji: "???"
No, why did you steal my lines again???
As Suyo finished speaking, not only was Qiji dumbfounded, but the comments section was also filled with amusement:
"Is this the true value of my status in the world? (laughing and crying)"
"Suyo-chan, Prisoner Ji just said the same thing to your fiancée."
"Hilarious! This is the bond between us Double Masks! No problem, Double Masks!"
"You two might as well stop fighting and just hug and have a good cry together."
"Why don't you two become siblings? That's hilarious!"
As Suyo once again uttered harsh words on the ring, the large crowd in the audience was shocked once again!
Does this competition really need so many twists and turns?!
So, is it time to appeal to the Suyo again?
The leader —
Is it Suyo?
Qiji is the real challenger!!!
Chapter Sixty-Six: He, Just Like the Brother in My Memories
In this situation—
The students in Class One all turned to look at Tian Hao once again.
Tian Hao was about to change his tune to play it safe, but then he remembered the oath he had just made...
I could only force myself to remain calm and let out a sneer:
"What are you looking at? Do you think I'd change my mind?"
Joke!
I can already see the future more than six minutes from now!
No matter how hard Suyo tries, he can't beat Qiji.
That's my answer!
After saying that, he even pretended to be profound, shaking his head and letting out a long sigh:
"If one is born into stillness, why be born into this world? Alas, it is fate, it is destiny."
On the arena.
Suyo continuously infuses his Heart Essence into the prism-like "Imagery Forgery".
She was desperately building the circuitry needed to Armament.
At the same time, the voice of Suyo rang out clearly from the arena, as if making some solemn declaration:
This is my Echo—
[Thousand Faces, Mimicry]!
As you can see, I can simulate and borrow the power of different lineages—
Frost, Gale, flames...
However, each Mimicry is merely 'imitation,' not 'possession.'
My power comes from simulation and substitution.
As the words of Suyo fell with resounding force, a strange resonance began to tremble in the air.
The Sea of Consciousness seemed to react strongly to this frank "confession," and began to establish a deeper and more intense connection with the Suyo.
Her aura began to rise erratically, and the "Imagery Forgery" in her hand began to tremble violently.
Class 8's area --
Huomu blinked his eyes, which were so innocent they could almost be described as naive, looking completely bewildered.
