This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Lost in the desert.

Two figures, one red and one white, stepped out of the teleportation point one after another, and then stood still.

Shi Si stared at the young man in red in front of him whose eyes seemed to be glued to his face, then looked at the blood-colored lines of thorns that had quickly extended to his fingertips, and suddenly smiled.

"You are not 'Mian', but I still came here with you."

What he said was very straightforward. As far as he knew, "Mian" would not say such words, and "Mian" could not come here through the teleportation point.

But the guy in front of me with the same face as "Mian" can.

This disguise was full of loopholes in his eyes, but he still followed him here by accident.

This surprised even him.

Normally, he would not do such a stupid thing, but now, the fact that he was standing here told him that although he clearly knew that the person in front of him was not "Mian", he still came.

The young man in red standing in front of him raised his lips and smiled, "You are still so smart. Of course, I never thought I could hide it from you."

As he spoke, he changed from "Mian" to Xiao Cai in the blink of an eye.

The brown-haired girl blinked her eyes, smiled, and called out sweetly - Brother Temperance.

Shi Si, who had not heard this name for a long time, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he keenly realized that the person in front of him was not a piece of cake.

She knew herself and called herself...temperance.

How can it be?

Similar ability to disguise... Could it be that the magician... has been reborn?

But the magician also understands that that guy always has a very contradictory feeling towards him. It's okay to tell him to be restrained, but if he adds an older brother to the list, the magician himself may feel disgusted.

"you know me?"

Frowning, Shi Si subconsciously took a step back and asked alertly.

The brown-haired girl smiled and took two steps forward, almost leaning against him.

"Of course we know each other...we are old friends. It seems like you don't remember anything?"

"It's no wonder that after you did something like that, the world is still willing to let you linger. I have to wonder if you have grasped the weakness of the world, or... have some unspeakable feelings with the world."

These words were beyond Shi Si's understanding. He looked at the girl with an evil smile in front of him and said in a cold voice, "What are you talking about? What have I done? Also, why are you a dead person?" Mention him in front of me?"

"You said we are friends...you don't look like my friend."

His question after question made the girl in front of him laugh out loud.

She smiled brightly, but with an indelible creepiness.

This was something he had never seen in Xiao Cai.

"You can doubt the rest, but you don't need to doubt that we are friends... You don't know, right? The world has given the task of punishing you to New Temperance. If I didn't hide it for you, with his help With your abilities, there is no way you can survive so smoothly."

There was a lot of information contained in these sentences. The white-haired boy frowned slightly and looked at the girl in front of him, "You are the summoned object in those cards."

As a "pre-temperance", he said it with certainty.

"Which card are you summoned by?" he asked.

The curve of the girl's lips was a little wider, but she didn't mean to hide it. She said two words one by one: "Devil."

"demon......"

Shi Si murmured to himself, was the devil of the Tarot cards summoned by the new restraint...

But... why did he find me? Or should I say, this guy has always been living in Xiao Cai's body.

If this guess is correct, maybe the person in front of me is the confirmation point for the third guess...

For a moment, he thought a lot.

"Yes, I am a devil."

"Dear Temperance, do you know why you broke with the world?"

The guy who looked like a piece of cake but was actually a devil quickly raised a question.

"Because...betrayal."

"That's right!" The girl clapped her hands and praised with a smile. "Because of me, you betrayed the world. What a great feat! So, ever since you really betrayed the world, I recognize you from the bottom of my heart. This is my friend!”

Shi Si smiled this time, "You always seem to be out of touch with your words. I chose to break with the world. I chose to kill the world because... the world betrayed me first."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Oh, we may not be talking about the same point in time - but what does it matter?"

"Temperance, you are my friend, a friend I truly recognize."

The girl stretched out her hand and took the white-haired boy's right hand, which was covered with thorns without any doubt. The five fingers that were originally slender and beautiful now looked quite terrifying.

But in the girl's eyes, looking at the hand in front of her, there was a fleeting obsession.

"Temperance, before you appeared, as a devil, I had never made friends. You are my first friend, and I hope, also my last."

"Even if you are not temperate, so what? I will neither alienate you because of your change in identity, nor look down on you because you have lost your strength. In my eyes, you are temperate and... .my only friend.”

"But... you know? In the past, you were too easy to betray, from the world to every specific species... But so what? Even though I am very worried about you, you are My friend, I don’t want my friend to disappear or die.”

"Similarly, I don't want my friends to betray me or disobey me. After all... friends should live in harmony, don't you think?"

Shi Si listened carefully, and then calmly continued, "So, you controlled Xiaocai to plant the 'seeds of happy revelation' for your 'friends'. When your friends become your puppets, they can naturally interact with you." If you live in harmony, I will naturally...not disobey you."

"Devil, I don't know if what I said is right?"

The white-haired boy looked at the girl in front of him.

"Yes, Temperance. As expected, you know me best. Even if you have no memory, Temperance...you are the one who understands me best."

As soon as the devil said this, he was immediately corrected by Shi Si, "No, you are wrong. The person standing in front of you is not Temperance, but Shi Si."

"I have not lost the temperance of my memory. I am a brand new existence. I think you should realize that no matter what, I and the temperance you talk about are not the same person."

Hearing this, the devil smiled, somewhat meaninglessly, "Don't be divided by justice. Don't I know if you are a good person? You were hiding for so long, but you were found in the end?"

"Temperance, you can't really escape the control of the world... In other words, why are you not a little puppet of the world? Instead of being hopelessly a puppet of the world, why not... be mine. "

"At least, if you follow me, you will be happy. I will neither put any pressure on you nor become a drag on you. The most important thing is that I will preserve your thinking."

"In other words, you're still yourself, and you don't even have to worry about losing your memory anymore."

"If you agree, I will help you remove the 'Seed of Happy Revelation'. You know, this thing is much more vicious than my gentleness."

"You feel it too, right? Now and then, thoughts that don't belong to you have entered your head. I believe that in a few days, you will become a real puppet, both mentally and physically."

"It was also out of good intentions that I avoided New Temperance and found you."

"After all, I never meant to give up on you, my friend."
