Melina avoided talking about the transaction and asked softly:
"Can you see part of the future?"
"Part of it." Alice seemed to be more honest. "What I can see is that although you are already so strong, the damage caused by you after releasing your true nature is still far greater than your current strength."
So…
Melina asked:
"Aren't you afraid that after I am genetically modified, I will become stronger and then fall again?"
"There are two things you are wrong about."
She replied lazily:
"One, that's not called corruption, it's called releasing one's nature. We banshees are not a kind race."
"Second, what does it have to do with me whether you fall or not?"
Alice said with a bit of the coldness unique to a banshee:
"Human beings are creatures that are good at deceiving themselves. I don't want to pretend to be a banshee for the sake of the world. As a banshee, the most important thing is the people around me, right?"
Elizabeth seemed to be shocked by something, she frowned and asked:
"Even everyone else in the world combined?"
"certainly."
Alice played with the hilt of the long sword stuck on the ground with one hand, smiled and said softly:
"The only possibility that I would consider other people is the so-called [full eggs under the nest]. Other than that, it is impossible for me to consider the situation of anyone else."
"For me."
"My world is just me and the people I know. Of course, if it can be saved easily, I will naturally be willing to save them. But if the world is in crisis and I only have one boat, then my ticket will naturally only be given to People I know. Aren’t you like this?”
This may sound cruel.
But Melina thought she had a point.
The most important thing in life is the people around you. Apart from the people around you, other people’s opinions are not important, right?
She nodded and said understandingly:
"Is Teresa so important to you?"
"Friends who are more important than lovers and family. No, I should say, they are family."
Alice suddenly smiled and said:
"I am a swarm banshee. I grew up in the hive city. I grew up in a place where I had to learn how to stand in line at birth. I have never had a family or a lover, but I think Trisha should be the one to me. Is it that important?"
"Can you tell me something?" Elizabeth asked.
"Is it necessary?" Alice replied.
"I want to know," Elizabeth emphasized, glancing at Melina.
Melina could only nod her head: "If it's convenient, please satisfy Xiaoyi's curiosity. She doesn't often show this curiosity. If I have to say it, I hope she can be satisfied."
"Um."
Alice nodded and briefly told her story with Teresa.
The story between the two is quite simple.
They were once orphans in the same hive city, and formed a sisterly friendship in a strange environment. That hive city is located in one of the most remote corners of the world, and is always facing attacks by monsters and dragons. In a harsh environment, they have limited access to resources.
Alice was cared for by Teresa.
She got almost most of the food, resources, and rest time.
It can be said that Teresa devoted everything she had to raising her into a grown-up banshee, and finally broke into her own world and started her own career. Due to stunted growth in her childhood, Teresa accumulated a large number of terminal illnesses for a banshee.
"The bad symptoms of magic factors are that the factors in her body are not enough for her to act as a [banshee], and as a banshee, her life will gradually begin to pass away. So I changed the characteristic code to lower her status so that she can Wake up and support me to find a solution. [Elf], and finally [Mortal], her waking time is getting less and less day by day."
Alice suddenly smiled:
"As for me, watching her torture day after day, I had a terrible idea, a terrible idea that was born out of exhaustion and searching for various solutions. I am a banshee who advocates freedom, do you know? "
This is natural.
"I like to create, and I like to create sweet stories between two banshees without any worries."
Well.
Melina kept silent about this and glanced at Xiaoyi secretly.
Xiaoyi's reading volume is twenty times that of hers. At the same time, this person's sense of shame seems to be close to nothing when reading.
That is to say.
Xiao Yi has actually read a lot of fan fiction created by Alice...
Melina asked:
"So, what's that scary thought of yours?"
Alice smiled bitterly again:
"I'm starting to get bored."
"To put it simply, every time I feel the urge to create, I feel guilty that I should not continue to create when my good friend is bedridden. And this kind of guilt Feeling bores me, makes me feel…”
"It would be nice if Teresa wasn't here anymore."
This thought made Melina feel uneasy and a little queasy.
Not to mention Alice herself.
Her expression became firm again:
"Therefore, I have to let her survive, I have to revive her, I have to let her have vitality in front of me again. Even if the world burns, I have to do this. This is the only thing that makes me change. A way to go back and become the banshee full of exploration and loyalty to her friends.”
…
No need to say too much.
Melina is naturally willing to help Alice, not only because of the benefits, but more because she can empathize with her despair.
For Alice.
The most painful thing for her is to realize her unchangeable nature, that is, the cold nature of the banshee.
The education she received and her own morality made Alice refuse to think about bad things.
but…
Every time she was inspired, every time she hoped that she would be on the right path, the shallow gasps and painful expressions coming from Theresa's mouth made her unable to escape and let go of herself. .
therefore.
That cool nature told her:
“It’s not impossible to let Teresa die like this, right?”
"The banshee will just fall into slumber anyway."
"What does it have to do with you if she sleeps for hundreds of years and thousands of years? You just need to let her sleep peacefully in your nest."
She must reject her own nature.
This act gave Melina a huge mental impact.
It turns out that there are banshees who are really resisting their own nature.
This made Melina want to help her.
at the same time.
She could vaguely feel in her heart that the reason why she could not complete the transgene had some unspeakable relationship with the world. She is also curious about how Alice solves this problem, and at the same time...
The moment the problem is solved.
How will this world change?
I forgot to mention it yesterday, the indicators were fine, nothing major happened, meow!
