Agnes's spirit gradually fell into a trance, and she felt that her surroundings seemed to be swallowed up by darkness again, but the darkness gradually dispersed and turned into thick fog. Agnes felt a strange feeling of exhaustion welling up within her, and she did not resist it.
Her consciousness seemed to be divided into two parts, one part fell asleep, and the other part listened indifferently to Mr. Rossi asking her questions one after another. She saw Mr. Rossi's face gradually becoming serious, and finally arranged a spiritual wall to face Mother Earth. God prays.
Agnes did not hear what Mr. Rossi reported to the Earth Mother Goddess or what oracle he received. She only saw that after the ceremony was completed, Mr. Rossi's expression softened a lot.
Agnes saw Lord Rossi put away the ritual materials and then woke up.
Agnes opened her eyes, and Mr. Rossi reached out to pull her up.
"Your change is not harmful to you." Mr. Rossi said in a gentle voice.
"You did get something from Meira, but these things will not impact your ego." Mr. Rossi showed a smile.
"What did I take from Meira?" Agnes couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Rossi was silent for a long time. Just when Agnes thought she would not answer, she finally spoke:
"Humanity, you took away part of her humanity."
"How is it possible? How can a person's humanity be taken away by others!" Agnes retorted subconsciously, but she stopped questioning herself. She remembered a series of performances after she connected with Meira's spiritual body. .
"I don't know." Mr. Rossi smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"We believe that there is an original divinity in everyone's body, but we don't know where the corresponding human nature comes from. Some people think that human nature is a certain kind of person's own nature, and some people think that human nature is due to emerges from human sociality.”
"No one can say clearly what human nature is like. Human nature has both a good side and a vicious side."
"I'm glad that what you took away from Meira was the gentlest part of human nature - empathy for the weak." Lord Rossi said with a smile.
Agnes opened her mouth and finally asked: "What about Meira?"
"I don't know." Mr. Rossi shook his head and said, "But based on your description and current performance, I think you didn't take too much."
"She is in the underworld now. With less sympathy, it may be easier for her to survive." Mr. Rossi said with a sigh.
"I understand." Agnes lowered her head and said.
"I feel like a thief." Agnes smiled to herself.
Mr. Rossi didn't say anything, just sighed.
"So, the secret existence that contacted me not only did not receive anything from me, but actually gave me more?" Agnes said to herself.
"Yes." Mr. Rossi said as if sighing.
"Oh, just being connected with Him brings misfortune. What do I need from His gifts..."
"Agnès, be careful what you say!" Mr. Rossi said seriously.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rossi, I lost my temper." Agnes closed her eyes to calm down her emotions, and then said.
Mr. Rossi sighed helplessly and said, "Your mood swings have increased a bit, and you need to pay attention to control them."
"Perhaps there is also the influence of the potion," Agnes was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Mr. Rossi, what do you think a 'prisoner' is like?"
Mr. Rossi glanced at Agnes and said with a smile: "Presentation? I thought you would cover up a little."
"It's not necessary," Agnes shook her head and said, "I think it's impossible for no one in the church to discover the act of acting in such a long history. The reason why there is no such news circulating may be due to some other factors. consider."
Mr. Rossi laughed and said: "Well, that's true. But I can only tell you part of the reasons why it can't be spread."
"What is it?" Agnes asked.
"How to act, no matter how you want to act, I need to remind you - you must always remember that you are just acting." Mr. Rossi said very solemnly.
So what you can’t tell me is the law of conservation of extraordinary properties? Agnes thought.
"I actually hope you learn how to act later." Mr. Rossi gently tucked a strand of Agnes' hair behind her ears and said as if sighing:
"You are still very young, and your self-awareness is not deep enough or mature enough. In fact, in my opinion, it would be better if you slowly master the power and adapt to the extraordinary bit by bit."
"So Mr. Rossi, you prefer that I don't play the role for the time being?" Agnes asked thoughtfully.
"No, that's not what I meant." Mr. Rossi shook his head and said, "Your acting method comes from your dreams. I'm afraid that even if you don't want to use the acting method, there will be various accidents that require you to speed up the digestion of the potion. speed."
"Yes." Agnes hesitated and said.
"I actually always thought that you could digest most of it by drinking the 'Prisoner' potion. After all, the church has been monitoring you for so long." Mr. Rossi said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
"Maybe it's because I don't feel restricted?" Agnes said hesitantly.
"Maybe, after all, you have always been a good boy." Mr. Rossi said.
"I'm not sure how to play 'Prisoner'. What are your thoughts?" Mr. Rossi asked.
"When I was taking the potion, Mr. Conti once told me a motto - the mind is a prisoner of the body, and the body is a prisoner of the world. During this time, I have actually been trying 'the mind is a prisoner of the body', but found that I was very It's hard to grasp the gist of it, maybe I should try 'Prisoner of the World' first," Agnes said.
"Okay, we will cooperate with you." Mr. Rossi smiled and said: "After all, you lack some life experience and have a good family background. Apart from your 'disease', you have not experienced any setbacks. Of course It's hard to truly understand that 'the mind is a prisoner of the body'."
"Agnès, what is the strongest desire in your heart? Or in other words, have you ever thought about what your real goal is?" Mr. Rossi looked at Agnes seriously and asked.
"Before taking the potion, I just wanted to live," Agnes said.
"what about now?"
Agnes pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I think it's to explore the secret behind my 'disease'."
Mr. Rossi sighed and said, "This is a very long-term goal."
"I see."
Mr. Rossi did not continue to delve deeper into this topic. She asked instead: "I heard that your last two missions in the Heart of Nature were not very smooth?"
