Overturned Tower

She led Alice into the living room after changing into slippers at the door, and then whispered in embarrassment: "The hot water is not enough, I'll boil the water first...Does Alice have any favorite tea?"

"Black tea is good."

"Well, please have a snack."

Seeing Alice sitting obediently on the chair, Yuhi showed a gentle smile on her face: "The black tea will be here soon."

Alice blinked, watching Yuhi humming a song and quickly entering the kitchen, analyzing every move of the black-haired senior in her heart.

Although she doesn't have Russell's terrifying imitation instinct, she can also analyze it manually if she is serious.

Seeing a cute school girl of the same level as her appearing at the door of her house after being well-dressed, the first reaction of this school sister after being amazed was not to be vigilant; obviously the person Alice is looking for is her boyfriend, and her boyfriend is not yet. At home... She didn't use this to reject Alice and let her go, but invited her in.She even hummed a song to make tea for Alice, which shows that she has no resistance or malice towards Alice.

——This is not reasonable.

This shows that she does not think that she and the "prototype" are lovers.

Alice specially changed into the Tianen University uniform of the same level as "Yuhi" and came here just to stimulate the prototype.

Although the prototype was not found, but Yuhi was found... But in terms of the result, it might as well be better.

You must know that Yuhi is a student of Tianen University, even a student of the archetype—and this is not her house, but the home of the archetype.

When she saw Alice, she didn't feel nervous because the other party saw her here; the fact that she would let Alice in on her own could also be said to have a subconscious master consciousness.

And when she was talking, there were some obvious lags.

For a university like Tianen University that puts extra emphasis on social and expressive skills, she is undoubtedly an outlier.

Anxiety and nervousness when opening the door, and the behavior of always holding the doorknob.It means that she was once broken into the house.

She was obviously uncomfortable and very happy when Alice called her senior sister affectionately, which showed that she was not respected by other students in school.

Alice looked around and found that the piano room could just be seen from the living room—the wall of the piano room facing the living room was transparent.If nothing else, it should be a one-way transparent type.

The interior of the piano room has an obvious girly style, and there are some posters of male and female idols on the wall.Alice even saw Russell's picture with sharp eyes...

She obviously didn't think that the old man "prototype" would collect Russell's posters specially.

I am not ashamed to say that Russell has always been a fan of mothers and sisters... Although there are teenagers who admire him, there are almost no adults.For adults, among the male heroes, the "emperor" kind of tough guy who is tough and eloquent is definitely more popular.

But what surprised Alice was that there was actually a single bed in that room, and there were obvious traces of life.

Why is there a single bed in a room with transparent walls that looks like an aquarium?

Is it really possible to sleep in a place like this?

Although she looked around, Alice had more doubts in her heart.

At this moment, the door opened.The prototype came back from outside.

"I am back……"

When the "prototype" entered the door, he subconsciously said something.

Then I realized that there was a pair of women's slippers missing at the door: "Are there any guests?"

When he saw Alice sitting on the sofa in the living room on the porch, he was stunned.

Chapter 55 Demons: Budding Lovers

From the perspective of ordinary people's aesthetics, the "prototype" can indeed be called handsome.

He has fluffy tea-brown curly hair, a height of about 1.8 meters five, a tall and thin figure, fair skin... and those dark green pupils that remind people of cats.

There are no spiritual relatives on the body, only a pair of slender ears.

Even if the eyes look lazy due to fatigue, there are no dark circles or bags under the eyes due to lack of sleep.Even if he does not sleep all the time, his skin will not become dull, his pores will not become enlarged, his skin will not become inflamed, and he will not die suddenly or lack of energy—unless the body of an elf will not easily In the event of illness, physical fitness will not decline at all, and you will always maintain yourself in the healthiest peak state.

This also means that the sprite requires no extra maintenance.Just like director Amirus, who has lived nearly fourteen hundred years this year, he already looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties...but his bones, internal organs and brain have not degenerated like an old man.

Compared with other elves, "prototype" lacks a kind of arrogance unique to elves.

——It is a kind of excess self-confidence brewed by accumulating "correctness" over a long period of time.

It approximates the sense of superiority of the older over the younger, and removes from it the disappointment of approaching the limits of talent and longevity.It was an authoritative heart that was confident, hopeful, and unquestionable.

All elves will have this trait.

This has nothing to do with the pros and cons of personal morality, but the mindset formed over a long period of time—the talents of ordinary people are indeed not as good as those of geniuses, and the experience of young people is indeed not as good as that of elders.Knowing a hundred people and experiencing a thousand things, the "exceptions" that can emerge from them are probably no more than an index.That's a minority, it's an accident.

Among the elves, Huachu's character of belittling the dangers encountered by others can already be regarded as gentle.More elves no longer regard themselves as members of human beings, but "transcendents" hatched from "human beings".

They are not just better than humans in terms of performance and talent—the knowledge and experience accumulated over a long period of time make them far beyond ordinary people.

In the same experiment, if an elf scholar would join in, all would rejoice.Because they can really see the possibility of "success"... and in the field of art, elves have an overwhelming advantage.Ordinary people have very limited experiences and books that they can read throughout their lives, but for elves who have only lived for three or four hundred years, they have read almost all the books, and even experienced it personally. Several generations of civilization have changed, and at the same time, it can still have the character of the moment when it became an elf, and it will not be destroyed by time and age.

That is a boundary that short-lived species cannot reach anyway.

——The fact is that even in fields other than capital, people have long been accustomed to elves giving orders.People always have the instinct to follow the strong and convince the experienced, which comes from the instinct of avoiding disasters that humans have had since ancient times.

"Prototype" He hasn't been an elf long enough, so he still lacks this kind of self-confidence that is absolutely correct.Even though he looks like he is in his early 20s now, he looks like a graduate student... But in the cub's cognition, this is the "cub of the elf".

In the group of elves, the "cub" is also the cutest stage.

With knowledge and talents beyond ordinary people...a flawless body, interesting and deep thoughts.At the same time, they have stayed away from the mundane world for more than ten years, completely untainted by the social atmosphere, like a pure and innocent big child, and even ignorantly believe what others say easily.

At the same time, they have also become real elves, without the weird temper formed by human beings due to abnormal secretion of hormones, they will not get angry, let alone hurt others, and they do not have the arrogance of other elves... People are full of curiosity and kindness.

At this stage, it is also the stage where elves are most vulnerable to injury-after leaving this stage, they become elves and hurt others.

Therefore, Alice is actually not surprised that the "prototype" ran out to fall in love immediately after learning from Huachu.

In fact, many elves will experience this experience.After all, there are always some people who value feelings more, even if they become elves.

Just like after meeting a scumbag man and a scumbag woman, it is difficult to indulge in feelings and cannot extricate oneself.

The elves have experienced the most unforgettable love in their lives, and watched each other gradually become vulgar, aging, boring, stubborn, and finally become the kind of people they looked down on in the past...while they themselves are still as new and young as they were at the beginning , no change.

Since then, the heart that would love others has died.

It's like watching a pet that you raised with your own hands grow old and die. Many people will suffer a great psychological shock and stop keeping pets.That was only ten years, and what the elves have to experience is decades.That time was enough to drain their "love" completely.

But "prototype" should be a very small number of special cases among elves.

The deep love in his heart for mortals even allowed him to awaken his psionic powers—in a human being, it would be rare to die in love because of the death of his pet dog.

In the demonic vision of "Alice", the "prototype" reflected against it has not yet completely turned into a demon.

—but it's coming soon.

His consciousness has merged with the demonic violence...

I saw the spirit body of the "prototype" broken, as if it had been randomly cut into pieces and sewn together by green vines; it also seemed that there were many seeds in his body, growing on their own, linking his internal organs and bones, Eventually it punctured his skin and pulled out tender green shoots.

And on top of his tired eyes, there are two dark red flowers of the Rosaceae.

The flower stems with thorns pierced the eyeballs, and two lines of deep red blood tears of the same style as the Bird of Paradise were carved on the cheeks.

The moment she saw it, "Alice" recognized the other party's identity.

——Its name is "Lovers of Budding".

Based on this name alone, Alice can roughly deduce the other party's spiritual power.

And she believed that the other party must have recognized that she was also a demon named "God's Vessel".

Demons have not seen that kind of "mutual knowledge" anywhere.

Because demons themselves are information creatures, the contact between demons is a kind of information exchange.It's like the relationship between a magnetic card and a card reader.

At the same time, Alice also confirmed another identity of the other party——

"...Miss Alice?"

The "prototype" that had been half-demonized murmured in a low voice.

His voice overlapped with the sharp, hollow female voice of the demon "Budding Lover" and sounded simultaneously.

Alice just sighed silently.

She really "should" know each other.

Russell didn't think of him when he was flipping through the documents because the knowledge didn't exist in Russell's memory.

But after the container of God completely turned into Alice, the instinct belonging to "Alice" told her that this person seemed familiar.

Now after the meeting, the memory fragments belonging to Alice began to surge in the bottom of my heart.

Those are memory fragments from the sea of ​​group subconscious——

The young man code-named "Prototype" and whose real name was "Ram"...was her brother Dodgson's friend and his most trusted junior.

Ram's parents are middle and high-level executives of Tianen Group, and his maternal grandfather once served as a director.

But his parents, like Alice's and Dodgson's parents, were of the indifferent type who didn't care about their children at all.So Ram has been playing games with Dodgson since he was very young, and he was once one of the group of little kids who followed Alice's head and butt.

There is only two years between them.Two years after Dodgson stepped down as student body president at Tien University, Rahm took over his pen and took the same position.  …

But Dodgson's affection for Ram, a good brother who played with him since he was a child, is obviously much better than that of Alice, his sister.

Ram's soul relative is a rare male three-colored cat, and he has a surprisingly good relationship with Dodgson, whose soul relative is a mixed orange cat.

After Dodgson graduated from graduate school, he did not directly enter Tianen Group, but opened a psychological clinic with Ram, who graduated at the same time as a bachelor.

Dodgson's real name is Dodgson, and Lahm's code name is Lahm—these two psychiatrists who went online with their real names, one fat and one thin, are famous for their good temper... Enthusiastic, optimistic, and cheerful. The evaluation of Happy Island in the industry is quite high.

Later, at some point, Ram left that psychological clinic... Looking back now, it should be that Ram was selected as an elf at that time.

The code name "prototype" is a psychological term.It was also the name of their psychological clinic back then.

Dodgson, who had been reluctant to join the head office, also joined Tianen Group after Ram left.And soon became the deputy director of the public relations department.

But also since then, Ram and Dodgson parted ways - never saw each other.

And Dodgson's weight has also increased rapidly since then, and it has become in line with his fur color visible to the naked eye.

"...You still recognize me as my sister."

Alice sighed.

The smile on her face gradually subsided, and she stared at the "prototype" standing at the door, hesitantly.

"Sit down... Ram."

Under the surprised eyes of "Yuhi" who came back with black tea, Alice ordered softly.

Under Yuhi's more surprised eyes, the respected elf obediently walked over and sat opposite Alice.

Chapter 56 A Conversation Between Demons

The ephemeral girl, who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, commanded the young elf who seemed to be at least in her 20s in the tone of an elder without any pressure...

This scene looked so confusing and astonishing that it made Yuhi's footsteps, which was walking with black tea, slower and slower.

She looked hesitantly at the two sitting face to face.

Although I don't know what happened...

But Yuhi clearly realized... There must be something wrong with what Alice said when she entered the door before.

She couldn't be a new student who came to find the "prototype" teacher—she even called herself the prototype's sister, and the prototype teacher even acquiesced in such a title!

Alice took a cup of black tea from the tray Yuhi was holding, and smiled at the shy black-haired girl: "I lied to you."

"……Hey?"

"You may not believe it, but I'm already a mother of a child in her 20s."

"Huh? Liar..."

Yuhi looked at Alice in shock.

No matter how you look at it, Alice is only fourteen or fifteen years old at best.Although she was wearing the school uniform of Tianen University, she looked subtly cute.Even among first-year students, she was undoubtedly young and cute.

And kids in their 20s...then why not in their 40s...

...but how is this possible?

"What she said was true."

The prototype on the side was a little distressed: "She is bigger than me."

"...Miss Alice, is she also an elf?"
