Alice squinted her eyes, and asked softly: "They don't know each other, right? And they don't have any contact with you...Why can you draw other people's lives to Yuhi at will?"

"It's not extraction, it's grafting."

The budding lover corrected: "I can exchange the fate and characteristics of the two people I love.

"Let the other party bear Yuhi's 'bad luck' of "jumping to death" and let Yuhi have the fortune of the other party's happy life. Because Yuhi's fate has been fixed, so every time Yuhi uses up the other party's happiness, the other party will Exhausted, to die in her place in the same way.

"This was originally intended to create the spiritual power of the 'perfect lover'...Through constant exchanges, I can concentrate all the qualities I admire in one person.

"But 'I' (the archetype) just wanted her to live, so that made it so much easier."

The budding lover smiled: "I asked him... in order to keep his lover, can he exchange other people's lives?

"—and 'I' (the archetype) said I wish I could.

"So we hit it off."

When their voice fell, the sound of the piano in the piano room also ended simultaneously.

Yuhi pulled her hair lightly, and looked out the window sadly.

The sunset glow covered Yuhi's face, and her fair skin was almost transparent.

Only then did Alice realize what the previous feeling of disobedience was.

——The setting sun has no shadow.

Chapter 58 Selfish Love

It's like the moon falling in the wine glass, and it's like the daffodils on the lakeside reflecting the shadow of the lake.

Against the sunset light, the translucent evening sun has already revealed the psionic nature of the "archetype".

"...You are not resurrecting the dead Miss Yuhi."

Alice looked at the somewhat melancholy girl in the next room, and said softly, "You just left her dead here."

"This is resurrection."

The prototype said very positively.

He looked at the black-haired girl who had finished playing the piano but still stayed in the room watching the sunset, her eyes filled with warmth and tranquility.

In Yuhi’s piano room, there are almost all living utensils - beds, tables, pianos, toys, game glasses, books, retro record players, and various posters that girls like...

But only missing snacks, drinking water and toilets.

It was time for meal now, but Yuhi, who was alone at home, was not hungry at all.

She didn't know that the prototype would be back soon, but she didn't prepare her own portion when making tea.

The dim sum served with the tea on the table was completely uneaten, and the trash can beside the table was extremely clean.

This all proves one thing...

"She knows she's no longer human, just a ghost."

The container of gods looked back at the budding lovers.

The demon, who had exactly the same memory as Russell, questioned without hesitation: "She's not having a happy life, Ram.

"She clearly knew she was dead...you call that resurrection? Do you call her life happiness?"

"This is one thing to discuss, the container of God."

The "bud lover" who was being questioned was obviously also a little unhappy. She called the container of God by its name in a flat manner: "What do you think is death?"

"...Your question is too big."

"Can't you answer? Then let me tell you... In my understanding, death means 'leaving the beloved'.

"It doesn't matter whether the body exists or not, and being able to enjoy eating and drinking is just an addition to being able to 'live happily'. What kind of world's memory, work termination, heartbeat... In my opinion, those are not important .

"The so-called death is to be separated from the person, thing, and career you love forever... In other words, as long as you can come back, you can't die. At most, it's a 'not so perfect life. 'That's all.

"But in this world, how many people can 'live perfectly'? Since most people's lives are not perfect, why is this resurrection unacceptable?"

The budding lover stared at Yuhi, and said softly: "It's better to say, it will be better this way.

"She won't get sick again, and she won't grow old. It won't make my heart hurt, and let me experience the despair of losing her again.

"Her personality will not change again, she will not be suddenly influenced by others, and she will start to doubt my love for her; there will not be any sudden surprises or dislikes that make me make unnecessary changes in order to accommodate her; Will not let me touch those parents and relatives of her that I don't love.

"She is mine now and will always be mine. I will love her forever...until a thousand years from now, at the end of my life, when I am old, she will still be so young. When I leave this world, she will also accompany me to leave.

"Flesh and blood is unnecessary. Human beings are limited to the flesh, and all kinds of original sins arise because of this. Letting go of this meaningless body will only make people happy."

The young elf who merged with the demon stared at Yuhi obsessively and whispered softly.

Xi Ri, who was separated by a wall, couldn't see his gaze, and could only stare melancholy at the sunset slowly setting outside the window.

Alice finally understood everything——

Why is the so-called "piano room" that is all-inclusive and can show all life is one-way transparent...

Because the real essence of that room is a "real-life figure display cabinet"!

The Yuhi that the "bud lover" loves is not the girl with mental illness.It is a soul mate similar to oneself imagined by the "prototype".

In other words, this Yuhi is just a "spirit figure".

Can be seen, touched, has its own thoughts, but will never betray.There is no need to feed, drink or manage excretion, and there is no need to worry about the other party's hobbies or the other party's mood.A large figure that only needs to "dress up", "train" and "play"...

"...Is this 'selfish love'?"

Alice murmured softly.

"Yes."

The budding lover replied flatly: "This is me."

"No wonder, you hit it off with Ram...you are the same kind."

"Indeed, you and your host must be the same kind of people."

Bud's lover smiled: "Although I was tricked by Hua Chan, I don't regret coming here."

"—Because the owner of the so-called 'budded lover', the person he loves the most is actually himself. Loving yourself is tantamount to loving you."

Alice stared at the translucent Yuhi, and said softly: "It's not because of 'Yuhi's death' that Ram cried and broke down. It's because she left her, because she lost the person she loved. sad.

"During this month, you ate the souls of two of your own patients; in order to maintain the existence of 'Yuhi', you let four innocent girls with their own families jump off the building and die, just to give 'Yuhi' a week's life." happiness'.

"Why would you do this?

"...Because you never thought about using your actual actions to make her happy.

"Because you can easily see into her thoughts and know what kind of actions you will bring about.

"Because you don't think the goodwill you get for following the 'Raid' is real.

"—Because you don't think it's meaningful for Yuhi to cure her disease."

Alice's eyes shifted from Yuhi to the prototype beside her: "Because you love Yuhi, but you love yourself more.

"What you love is the girl herself? Or is it the other self you see from her?

"Or, are you just pretending to be affectionate and purely in love with that 'self who can still love others'?"

Her emerald green eyes seemed to be able to easily penetrate people's hearts: "I love... who is still human, has his own emotions, and is an outstanding person among human beings.

"And that painful time that reminded you?"

The face of "Prototype" became gloomy.

As a psychiatrist, he was ashamed to be easily dissected into the deep personality of "Alice" who was not in this field.

"...What is your relationship with that woman Huachu?"

The deep and gentle male voice overlapped with the sharp and high-pitched female voice, and the green shoots on the prototype's skin began to grow frantically: "Are you the one she found?"

With only human, physical eyes, he could see green shoots protruding from the tip of his tongue.

"You want to... take my—

"—[Lover]?!"

It was unmistakable anger.

Countless sprouts broke through the "soil" from his skin!

Chapter 59 The Fire of Freedom and the Fire of Anger

As the "budding lovers" grow angry, the surrounding environment begins to fall apart.

In the prototype room, there are sprouts growing everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, flowers bloomed one after another.

The fragrant aroma is intoxicating, like a bouquet from a lover.

That is the proof that the "personal dreamland" belonging to the devil has begun to invade reality.

——This is definitely not a demon in the "egg" stage.

Rather, the intensity of the redshift has reached level six and above, and the incubation has been completed... a complete demon that can affect the world from a realistic level!

"Amazing..."

Alice just sat in her seat unhurriedly, holding a cup of black tea and looking at the angry prototype.

Even though buds were starting to grow on her body, Kalis didn't panic at all.

She just showed an extremely elegant smile: "I just said a few words, so I'm in a hurry?

"Did I mention your pain?

"Recognizing that what you long for, to be loved as a human being, will never be possible... Does that make you feel hopeless?

"In the final analysis...you don't understand what love is at all. You are just wishful thinking after the phantom you couldn't ask for when you were young."

"—Is that enough?"

"The budding lover" said coldly: "Then please accept the flowers I gave you."

As countless bright crimson roses bloomed on Alice, her skin became extremely pale.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Alice began to become transparent.

It is not that the blood is drained, but that "existence" is deprived.

As she gradually became transparent, the translucent Yuhi in the next room gradually solidified.

Alice looked back towards the piano room.

I saw Yuhi sadly looking down at her own hands that gradually became solid and no longer transparent, and the elegant smile on Alice's face gradually disappeared.

"It's so pitiful...that child."

If she felt something, she whispered: "Like a bird in a cage.

"—set you free."

The next moment, her figure suddenly shattered.The roses on the skin withered and withered.

She turned into an ultramarine bird of fire, passing through the prototype's body!

Immediately afterwards, her translucent body coalesced and reorganized behind the prototype.

Originally unusable in this form, the psychic energy called caged bird was fully awakened in the body of the container of God, showing its true ability——

Alice murmured in a low voice, it was the first time for her, who had no "heart", to really feel the anger of little Liuli like Russell... The Ultramarine Flame quietly ignited in the empty container: "So that's how it is," Cage ' is not the point..."

Its real power and desire is to remove the pretense and break the cage.

The "prosthetic body" as an external object, the "clothing" to modify its own beauty, the "shackles" to imprison the body... and the "skin" used by the devil to disguise.

It is the psychic power that returns the imprisoned, imprisoned, protected, and sealed things back to their most essential state.It is a psychic power that can only be used with the longing for freedom and the anger of the imprisoned...

——If it is used on a demon, it will reveal its original appearance.

Alice turned her back to the prototype, the original handsome face suddenly became like a ghost.

His skin was instantly burned by the strange ultramarine flames that rolled up with a whoosh, like an old photo sprayed with alcohol, leaving only his terrifying dark purple muscles exposed.
