But this guy is different, precisely because he understands human nature better than anyone else, he knows the cruelty better than anyone else. The calm reaction just now was not an act, but genuine. For him, it was just an ordinary response, no, for him, there was no need to pretend at all.
How is this possible? That such a thing could happen, no matter how unreasonable, Ino had to face this terrifying and unbelievable fact. Because it was unbelievable, because it defied common sense, it instilled fear. After all, people fear the unknown.
That is, the heart of the person in front of him, even he himself cannot see through it.
Such a thing has never happened before, after all, the human heart is different from a machine. Machines themselves have no emotions, so it is naturally impossible to see through them. But humans are different, and the biggest difference between humans and machines lies in that.
Humans have emotions, and on this basis, they are emotionally complex beings.
The reason why emotions are complex is because humans have desires.
Greed, lust, gluttony, envy, laziness, arrogance, wrath.
These are the "seven deadly sins" that everyone possesses, without exception.
Whether they are ordinary civilians or elected democratic representatives, no one is exempt.
These people all have desires, that is, emotions. Whether it is positive emotions like longing for world peace, or negative emotions like a desire for world domination, everyone possesses different emotions, and countless positive and negative emotions intertwine with each other.
No, I can't panic now. Since this is not possible, then...
Ino changed the approach.
"Tell me, how did you see through our identities as brothers?"
"Nothing special, it's because during the day, when you first appeared, you said to Hiyori, who just appeared, 'So it's you'."
"Oh, I see. If it were me, under the circumstances in which I had seen you before, it would be unlikely for me to say that. I would generally say 'It's you again'. But this cannot be decisive evidence."
"And your abilities have subtle differences. When Hiyori attacked you for the first time, you didn't need to dodge, but you did. It shows that you can only do that. At that time, the attack was too sudden, and there was no time to use your ability. From this deduction, your ability should be 'Hardening'. Although the effects are similar, they are actually quite different."
The cold voice of the teenager did not stop, and there was no trace of human emotions in his gaze.
"The essence of 'Steelization' is to make the body as hard as steel, it doesn't require much time, while 'Hardening' is to increase the hardness of the body, which requires a process. Therefore, the drawback is that it takes longer to prepare, but the hardness is higher than steel. Also, your personalities are different, one is more reckless, and the other is more sensitive."
"..."
To be seen through to this extent, Ino couldn't help but be speechless upon hearing Ryuto's words.
He had always been the one seeing through others, so being seen through by someone else was a first for him. It really wasn't a good experience.
However, Ino didn't stay silent for too long.
"I didn't expect you wouldn't be deceived by that woman. Speaking of which, we were both perfectly deceived by her, right?"
With a mischievous smile, his gaze shifted to Tensyoin Miyuki, who was standing to the side.
But what came through was still the emotionless, icy voice of the young boy.
"No, it's just because I knew from the very beginning."
"What?"
