"past?"
After a while, Varina straightened his head, which was tilted to one side due to the blow.
He still lowered his head and replied in a low voice:
"He is dead, the fact is irreversible!"
"How can you get by with this?!"
Another slap.
Varina's head was knocked to the other side.
"You also know it's irreversible?"
Qili grabbed his hair, forced him to raise his head, forced him to look at her, and said angrily:
"His death is irreversible, but you are still alive and there are still many things you can do. Do you want to just give up?"
After saying that, she pushed Varina down, turned around and left the room.
As she was leaving, she complained quietly to herself.
"Really, why do I, a witch, come here to play the role of a psychiatrist, even if I just save people? I must be crazy..."
After Qili left, Varina gradually came back to her senses.
He had a lot of great principles in his head, but suddenly something happened and he got into trouble.
Qili's words were an introduction, helping him get rid of the cycle of endless self-blame.
He began to think about the future.
Of course, this doesn't mean Corvo's death is "in the past" in his mind.
He will remember it all the time, but he will not get stuck in it like before and be unable to extricate himself.
…
Qili didn't come back all day long.
Apart from moving back to his room, Varina didn't do much else.
This time he was hurt too badly.
If psychological trauma can be healed quickly through enlightenment, physical trauma obviously requires a longer recovery time.
In the evening, Qili came back with a cold expression.
Seeing that his mental state had obviously changed, she mocked:
"Hey, you figured it out so quickly? It seems like you're not that kind."
As she spoke, she changed the subject, "Of course, kindness and stupidity are often equated. You should be glad that you are not hopeless."
Qili put down the bag in her hand, took out the contents and placed them on the table. They were a wooden lunch box and a tube of green, slimy, unknown liquid.
"Here's your dinner. Drink it when you're done, and then answer my questions honestly."
Qili's fingers touched the lunch box and the sealed glass tube successively, and spoke her arrangement in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Varina didn't say much, silently stood up and sat at the table.
Opening the lunch box, he found that the dinner was not only meat and vegetables, quite rich, but also slightly hot, and he felt warmly moved in his heart.
"Thanks."
Wariner whispered his thanks and started.
Just as he lowered his head to put the food into his mouth, there was a sudden "click" on the table.
Varina took a closer look and found that it was Qili who had nailed his dagger to the table from behind, with great force, and the dagger inserted into the table was still trembling slightly.
"If I come back and see you still looking like this morning, you can only eat this!"
Her voice was cold, suppressing the emotion that had just warmed up in Varina's heart.
For a while, the only sounds in the room were the clinking of cutlery and the sound of swallowing food.
After the meal, Varina opened the glass tube filled with green liquid, and a strange sour smell immediately came out.
"What is this?" he asked with a frown.
Qili didn't answer and asked: "Are you drinking?"
Varina took a closer look at the green, mushy and bubbling viscous liquid in the glass tube, but still held his breath and drank it.
What's strange is that something that looks so bad doesn't have any exciting taste, and is even a little sweet?
After drinking it, he felt a warm current spreading from his stomach, which made him feel quite comfortable.
So...this is a healing potion?
Behind him, Qi Li's tense face softened a lot.
She walked a few steps and sat on the bed, still keeping her expression tight, and asked: "How do you guarantee that your counterattack will hit?"
While Wariner was still organizing the words in his mind, the words came out:
"After I became an 'Assassin', I inexplicably mastered a new ability, which I call 'Connection'."
This... what I drank just now is a "truth serum" potion? !
Varina was shocked and quickly suppressed his desire to speak.
The witch is still a witch after all!
Every time Varina's impression of her changed, she would always cause something to happen.
Let’s not talk about the distance. Just for a short while, he had just been touched by the dinner, and he was immediately greeted by the dagger; he had just felt that the effect of the potion was very comfortable, and the effect of "truth truth" was immediately revealed... …
He knew that women's thinking was difficult to understand, but when a man turned into a witch, would his thoughts be so novel?
This kind of relationship... is really torturous...
Seeing the shocked expression on Varina's face, Qili felt a lot more at ease.
"What you drank was the recovery potion I brewed. Of course, as you can see, it also has some 'truth serum' effects."
After explaining, Qili asked again: "Mastery? Isn't it a magical item?"
"It's mastery."
This time, Varina had a more accurate judgment on the effectiveness of the potion and felt a lot more relieved.
Its "truth-telling" effect is indeed not strong. It may be fine against ordinary people and ordinary "assassins", but it is still not good enough for him.
Varina was certain that he could rely on his extraordinary will to counteract the potion's effectiveness.
"Come, let me see." Qili made a new request.
Varina thought that since the "connection" had been exposed, it was better to use it to win Qili's letter so that she could deal with her other subsequent problems.
After hesitating, he stretched out his hand and wiped it in front of his eyes, "connecting" Qili to the bed.
"What a strong... control... effect."
The effect of Qili's attack is similar to that of Maric, and much better than Corvo's.
Varina quickly canceled the "connection."
Qili's face was a little shocked, but she quickly disappeared and asked again: "Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know." Warina concealed his guess.
Qili thought for a while, controlled her curiosity, and gave up asking this question.
She turned to ask: "Who are they two and what is their relationship with you?"
"Xio and Forsi are my friends."
Speaking of this, Warina asked her: "They have helped me a lot, can you use the blood..."
"I'm the one asking the questions now!"
Qili interrupted angrily and continued to ask: "Which one of them do you like more?"
"Speak out and I can consider returning her blood to you."
"Of course, you can only choose one."
Trap...a complete language trap, and it's also very low-level!
Varina thought for a while and told the truth:
"I regard them as friends, and we haven't been together for a long time. There is no so-called like, and there is no preference."
"I wish you wouldn't control my friend."
After hearing this, Qili asked a question that even surprised her, "Then am I your friend?"
Varina was also stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, after spending so long with Qi Li, he had never considered similar issues.
The relationship between them has obviously gone beyond his default, simple superior-subordinate relationship, but to what extent they can be considered friends, he is really confused.
Wariner searched his mind, considered carefully, analyzed carefully...
Qili didn't make a sound to urge her, and waited quietly for an answer.
