Chapter 868 [Favorability]

There is a theory that Lindsay hates - the so-called theory that the weak are guilty.

If the weak are bullied by the strong, they will blame themselves - except for those who are unable to control their own destiny, this is probably the excuse that those who launch acts such as genocide or massacres find to exonerate themselves.

But Alice now fell into the former's trap.

People with a strong sense of responsibility always like to blame themselves when facing failure, and this is especially true for those who like to get stuck in a rut.

Fortunately, Lindsay and Alice had experienced adventures together, had seen each other's abilities, and the other was receptive to his advice.

So, when Lindsay opened a hole in this south wall.

Alice looked over and realized something:

"Lindsay, I..."

"The royal weapon is very important. I should not betray the trust of the Sword of White Steel. But...but...what is truly important is indeed the lives that live in this world."

Alice's voice paused.

It sounded a bit blurry due to the heavy rain.

However, Lindsay activated [Atmospheric Touch] and every word became clear.

He held Alice's shoulders:

"Now that you have figured it out, tell me now."

"In this case, what should we do now?"

"..."

"what--"

The upright girl suddenly yelled out.

Lindsay thought Alice would change her target and cheer up.

But what actually happened was beyond his expectations.

The will of those who originally practiced justice is undergoing a rapid transformation, and the resolute force of moving forward is twisted into another state.

Lindsay happened to have the [Puzzle Game] module open.

At such a close distance, the clue white light directly presented the changes in Alice to Lindsay.

[(First Stage) Vessel of Desire - The indulgent person strongly desires a goal, and when his actions are directed toward this goal, all his abilities will be enhanced.]

[(Second stage) Lustful heart - Greedy desires are manifested to the outside world. The strong willpower can be transformed into a real hand, helping the indulgent to influence things in reality. ]

[(Third Stage) Bottomless Belly - After the indulgent achieves his goal, his source quality skills will be permanently enhanced to varying degrees depending on the difficulty of the action.]

[(Fourth stage) The indulgent mind - within the range of the mind, any movement will not escape the detection of the indulgent person.]

[(Fifth Stage) The Fire of Desire - The lustful person's terrible desire extends outward and begins to affect the minds of others.]

[(Sixth Stage) Collapse - One's own will will burst out in an endless way, destroying anything that stands in one's way.]

"..."

Lindsay was dumbfounded.

From stage 1 to stage 6, all the skills of the righteous have undergone a complete reversal.

A stubborn and correct person who was still stuck in a dead end.

Now he seems like a self-indulgent and scary boss!

pat-

Lindsay stood up from the muddy riverbed and took two steps back:

"Did I do something extraordinary..."

Before Lindsay could finish his words, Alice rushed over and hugged him in her arms:

"Lindsay, I appreciate it."

The girl's voice rang in Lindsay's ears.

He silently opened the map and took a look.

Noticing that Alice's mark was still green, which symbolized kindness, he didn't push her away.

Alice continued to thank Lindsay:

"If it weren't for you, I would have given up on myself until I died."

"This is definitely not what I should really do!"

Lindsay asked tentatively:

"So now, you are not planning to give up the creed you once upheld, right?"

Alice's unconcealed voice rang in Lindsay's ears:

"No, I will never change what I insist on doing!"

“But the true self should not be born in constraints. I should accept the true desire in my heart and find the path that belongs to me.”

Lindsay slowly pushed Alice away.

In the rain curtain thrown by the heavy rain, he saw the other person's eyes.

The once firm grey pupils became even darker.

Lindsay also read Alice's thoughts.

She still insisted on her own ideas, but the self-restraint in her heart had been completely loosened.

Reached Stage 6.

The will of the righteous person becomes almost one with himself.

This thing was defeated and then reshaped. It is hard to say what is going on in Alice's mind.

That's when.

The untimely prompt sound of the attribute panel rang in Lindsay's ears.

【mission completed】

[Galgame module level: 1→2]

[Favorability: Players can observe other creatures' favorability toward themselves and see the corresponding evaluation descriptions.

Note: It is recommended that the favorability be above 85 before initiating a confession. 】

Lindsay's eyelids jumped at the skill she had almost forgotten.

He realized that something unnecessary was happening before his eyes. But standing on the land of his disappeared hometown, Lindsay was in no mood to think about those strange things.

So rekindle your thinking.

Regarding the current situation, Lindsay asked Alice:

"Can you tell me a story?"

“The story of the righteous man whose will was broken but who found his strength again?”

Alice nodded naturally:

"He was a very famous righteous man named Edmund. He was originally dedicated to protecting his hometown and his lover, but in a disaster caused by a volcanic eruption, he lost everything he wanted to protect. He was even falsely accused of causing the natural disaster and was sent to prison..."

As Alice spoke, Lindsay also unlocked her new skills.

brush--

Sure enough, a new text box floated on the right side of the girl's head in front of him.

At the end there is a red heart symbolizing favorability, which is almost completely filled at this moment.

Alice - 90/100

[She regards you as her best friend, a like-minded companion, and is even willing to sacrifice her life for you. But deep down, she is still unaware of the feelings that have already arisen.]

Lindsay wanted to turn off this skill immediately.

But after seeing [Galgame]'s first skill, [Text Record].

He suddenly thought of something.

This skill has been to objectively record everything that happens around me, and occasionally not forget to describe the scenery.

Because Lindsay's perception ability is more comprehensive.

In the past, he didn't need to use the effect of this skill.

But just recently, at the bottom of the [Great Rift Valley World], Lindsay was approached by an invisible creature.

He thought hard but couldn't find out any details about the other party.

But under the default record of [Galgame], does the description of the other party exist?

Because it is too marginalized.

He didn't check the text records on [Galgame] at that time!

With this in mind, Lindsay opened the [Text Record] and tried to scroll up the text.
