She bowed her head towards Persephone.

"During these long years, I have never paid attention to your personal feelings. I have always used my morality, my concepts, and my ideas to make demands on you. I didn't notice that you went back and forth again and again There’s a buildup of stress in the middle of the day ... no matter how much or how little it is, it’s always there, and I’ve never been more about results.”

"On this point, I want to apologize to you. Sorry, there are many times when I have made excessive demands on you. I have lost a lot of unreasonable temper..."

The Persephone in front of her looked at her as if she was looking at an alien from the M78 nebula.The confusion in those green eyes was about to condense into something that could overflow, and formed a gigantic golden question mark above the girl's head.

"You..." Persephone's voice was as weird as that of a burlesque actor in a theater. "... Is there something wrong with the head, is it broken?"

"I don't think there should be..." Miss Shirter smiled embarrassingly. "I just feel that the way of life in the past is a bit abnormal. Maybe I should face the world with a more positive attitude...something. In short, I plan to at least say hello to the people close to me and take care of each other. everyday life and the like…”

"People who are close to...?" The doctor girl's pronunciation was extremely difficult, as if these words were poisonous, as long as she said them, her tongue would be bitten - she raised the index finger of her right hand and pointed at her His own head, or rather, poked hard on the right temple.

"This... includes me too?"

"Yeah." Shirtel responded, a little shy - God knows how long she hasn't shown this expression. "I have always believed in you, in your ability, in your intellect, and in your conduct. No matter what you have done in those times that you have regressed, but now, you are in the eyes of everyone. They are all trustworthy companions. And this everyone, actually includes me.”

"Well... If possible, can you try to trust me? Just try it a little? If you have any troubles or pressure, I can help you share it too?"

Shirtel, eager to try.

And someone in front of her started with a tactical fallback.

She saw the uncertain face of the young doctor, and saw all kinds of complex emotions that would never be seen in the past surfaced on that pretty face.Then—everything returned to calm.

"As far as conventional rationality is concerned, although a stone's enlightenment is a tiny event with an extremely low probability, it cannot be simply and roughly classified as impossible. Aleph zero is not zero after all, let alone this simple world There are no such complex and broad variables in the world."

Persephone said lightly, and in terms of tone, it seemed that she had returned to her usual appearance.

But she changed the subject.

"However, if the subject of the change is changed to you, then all the rational science that ordinary people can recognize can be summarized as illogical fallacies. This is unreasonable, unreasonable, and even more illogical—your behavior , words, and intentions have all caused me to make huge mistakes in my modeling of the current world. Even I myself have a tendency to become one of the errors, and the chances of correction are almost nil."

"To sum up, I judge that if the problem is not the world, then it should be my brain. Therefore, I decided to adopt the most simple and effective method."

She took a breath.

"You bastard, can you be normal for me?"

And the next moment, she picked up the paper knife and thrust it into her neck!

........................

She didn't make it.

Of course she won't succeed.

Because Shirtel's hand blocked her neck and the blade.

"Sorry." Shirtel said sincerely. "Although I don't know what I did wrong... But I still hope that you can cherish your body. Although the ability to return after death is strong, it is better not to abuse it excessively if the damage cannot be confirmed..."

However, Persephone just put down the paper knife, and then slapped away Stelter's hand that didn't even have a white mark.

"It's just an experiment." She said lightly. "The problem is not the world, nor my brain, because with your past behavior, the past you will only watch me commit suicide. Then let me go back on a large scale according to the size of the profit and loss, or you can do it yourself. Fished out from the dead. And you have made such an action, which proves that you have indeed produced some kind of conceptual change."

"Uh... so?"

"Your apology and kindness, I accept. And—"

She slowly exhaled the breath she had taken before.

"In the eyes of immortals, loneliness is the deadliest and most terrifying disease. Comprehension at the same level is a life-saving medicine in an absolute sense. In order to obtain it, immortals are often willing to pay a huge price that ordinary people can't imagine—— Even if the final way of getting along is competition, hostility, or even ignorance. But as long as such individuals exist, it is a great happiness for the immortals themselves."

She looked at Stelter, as if she wanted to reach out, touch someone's cheek but froze at the beginning.

So she smiled lightly.

"Do you know? If I have the means to subdue you now, or make you unable to move for a short period of time. Then from now until tomorrow morning... no, tomorrow night, or even the day after tomorrow morning, until my physical strength can't be recovered after using potions So far. Many interesting things happen in this house—

——I have prepared a detailed and comprehensive plan for this, but unfortunately, I can't do it.And your current 'change' is not enough for me to convince you, so that you are willing to impose all the contents of that plan on me... I am very sorry, Shirtel.This timing is really not friendly to me. "

"Uh..." Shirtel blinked. "Although I don't want to apologize three times in one conversation. But, I'm sorry...can you stop the riddle and explain it to me in a way I can understand, okay?"

"No, because I'm not in a hurry. However, I hope you can leave my room temporarily. Because I plan to use some newly learned 'personal entertainment methods' to dispel my overly excited mood."

Shirtel didn't see anything excited about this guy.

The woman didn't even have a quick breath.

But even so, an expulsion order is an expulsion order.And her philosophy, Miss Steele, has always been to follow the principle of following the order.

"Okay then..." Shirtel left in a daze, and she just took a step when she remembered that she hadn't done the business for this trip.So she stopped—

"that--"

"I know." But Persephone cut her off as soon as she spoke. "Everything you did in Amiya's temporary office is recorded by me. I will analyze your dream world, the addition of frost star operators, and the sword brought back from the dream world. If there is something that requires your cooperation, I will notify you, but I also have to remind you that it is difficult to achieve definite results in a short period of time."

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Shirtel nodded and gave a thumbs up. "I believe in your ability, and I have enough patience. If you need my assistance, just ask."

"This means that you will not be able to dream for a long time. Are you sure this will not affect you? I remember you once said that dreaming is a passive behavior."

"It doesn't matter. Because I can learn from dolphins." Miss Stelter tapped her head. "I can put my brain into partial sleep. In this way, I will not fall into a dream even if I maintain my daily sleep. And... after so many trips to the dream world, I have gained some skills. As long as I am determined not to fall into a dream If you have the belief, then you can maintain normal sleep for a period of time. So in this regard, there is no need to worry too much."

"Really, you have a way to deal with it, that's good." Persephone raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Then, there is one thing I need your cooperation to do now—you close the door first."

"Oh..." Shirtel closed the door.

"And then?" she asked.

Then she saw Persephone go to the bed, take off her slippers, put on her pajamas in front of her, and lie down.

"You can sleep here tonight." The girl doctor's voice was flat and without ups and downs. "Sleeping next to me, I want to observe your changes during sleep at a close distance. And I also want to try to see if the newly learned 'personal entertainment means' can play a better role in special circumstances."

Shirtel thought about it, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.It's not uncommon for girls to sleep together and for good reason.The only thing that is a little strange is the 'personal means of entertainment' mentioned twice by Persephone.

She wondered if this guy was deliberately inviting her to ask.

"Okay." She nodded, put down Levantine, who was feeling cold for no reason, and put on the pajamas that fit her size that had been placed on the table at some time - the style is very conservative, so it won't arouse her suspicion kind of.

She lay quietly beside Persephone—and at last stretched out her hand, calling for Levantine to lean against her side.

"The 'means of personal entertainment' you mentioned twice is..."

"I'm happy to teach you, but I don't want to waste this opportunity to 'observe'." The breathing and heartbeat of the young doctor seemed to fluctuate for a moment, but they immediately returned to normal like a hallucination. "You can ask Kelsey for the specific content. I learned about this matter by investigating the top-secret files of PRTS and studied it. And I did intend to draw your attention to this aspect, because I speculate that it can For better entertainment."

"Forget it, I don't want to touch the musty head of that stinky lynx." Shirtel gently closed his eyes.

"Good night, then," she said softly. "I don't think you'll do anything silly, Persephone."

"Of course I won't." Persephone's voice was as indifferent as ever. "I won't waste this good observation opportunity, and I don't want to get punched by you. And—"

"Good night, Shirtel. From tomorrow onwards, the life you will face may be completely different from the past."

At the beginning of the month, I really want to coo...but I still can't help 4k_(:з」∠)_

And... let's put a group number——693865525 [Moyu Youxiang and Diligence 42]

No.60 Six Sections Mint in the Wind 【Repair】

Stuart closed his eyes.

Strictly speaking, she is not sleepy—after all, ordinary people need sleep because they need to relax their brains and muscles to ensure that they can restore the efficiency of the organism the next day—in other words, it is similar to' Perform Disk Cleanup' general operations at your leisure.And even in the other world in the previous life, compared with the people of Terra, the earthlings were so weak that it was difficult to survive on the surface. As long as they could sleep deeply, they would not need more than a hundred minutes of sleep every day.

She is not sleepy because she is not an ordinary person.

She can trim her body while maintaining a clear consciousness, and even after closing her eyes, her senses will become slightly sharper.

How sharp is it?

So keen that even if you don't listen deliberately, you can tell how many heartbeats are currently working in the building where the temporary command center is located.

It doesn't really help—she thought.

So she shrunk her perception, concentrated it, and concentrated it in this small house, and when she passed by someone who was lying on her back like an ancient princess, with her feet folded and her hands folded on her stomach, she slightly to stay—

——This guy, his sleeping position is more conservative than expected.This posture...is it lacking a sense of security, or pursuing a sense of ritual and order?

——How on earth is she observing me?

The will shifted slightly, and the silhouette of Persephone gradually appeared clearly in her perception.But just as the level of detail increased sharply, and she was about to construct an estimation model that was no different from a real person, she heard the other party's voice.

"Although I never mind what you do to me, I also remember that you are not a person who is used to prying into other people's privacy. Why, after having a special dream, even this habit has changed?" Park Ersephone's voice was thin, but she could always hear some questioning.

So Miss Steele admitted her mistake.

"Sorry, I'm just curious for a while..." She closed her eyes, dispelled the subtle perception in her heart, and focused on herself instead of the outside, so the thought composition around her body that was supposed to show a specific shape It returned to chaos and fuzzy again.

"I won't do that again"—she said.

Then she felt Persephone's fingers touch her palm.

"Give you some peace of mind, hold my hand." The woman said, the touch from her fingers was cold and delicate-a bit similar to Frost Star, but the coldness of Frost Star is cold on the material level.But Persephone's touch is closer to Senhan on the spiritual level.

"Wrist." Persephone emphasized the part.

So someone with her eyes closed did the same—I don’t know if it was her illusion, when Miss Shirtle grabbed the wrist of the person beside her, it seemed that a vicious taste in her heart was released... …Controlling, dominating, as if I had grabbed the seven inches of a poisonous snake, and let this deadly cold-blooded killer only show obedience around me… It was a strange feeling, and this feeling only lasted for a short moment.

For Persephone did not stop her words.

"I thought you were going to ask me about 'memory'. I should have exposed enough 'openings'. And don't you expect to get any information from me that you want to know?"

"Maybe there used to be, but not now." The girl who restrained her perception replied: "I don't deny that I did lack trust and attention to you before. But it's different now. I want to care about you, take care of you, and protect you , to share the pressure you are under, or unbearable. At the same time, I also trust your ability. If you feel that there is any secret that must be concealed under the pretext of amnesia, then I will cooperate with you to keep this secret."

"You—hmm." Persephone suddenly let out a whisper with a somewhat strange tone.

"Uh...did I say something wrong?" Someone didn't know why.

"It's nothing, it's just that nerve impulses stimulate specific glands, triggering some hormonal reward mechanisms. This is just part of my observation method for you. If you are worried, it doesn't hurt to open your eyes."

"I always feel that you haven't done a good job..." Miss Stelter murmured in a low voice with her eyes closed.Although many memories have become blurred, she is very clear and self-aware about who she is.And the voice made by Persephone just now, from the pitch and timbre, is obviously similar to the voice made by the heroine in a certain scene in some mini-games...

—But it was Persephone!The kind that cuts the entire city, including humans, animals, and source stone worms, into equal-sized pieces in the abandoned line, while in the official history line, it desperately saves the same city, and even raises the reputation of all citizens to worship. O Persephone!For a person like her, just associating it with the concept of a small game is very inconsistent. It is impossible for her to have the weak feelings of ordinary human beings! ?

——Not long ago, she used the topic of 'weak emotions of mortals' to piss me off!

So someone's thinking quickly deflected to another direction.

"This kind of observation...does it put a lot of burden on the body?" She asked with some concern—although she never considered this issue when she took the sword to deal with Persephone—"Do you want to take a break? ?”

"No, it's just that I underestimated the stimulating effect of a specific scene and a specific mood... Um... Shirtel, Shirtel, have you opened your eyes?"

"No." Miss Stelter responded, she felt that Persephone's wrist was a little hot, and the speed of blood flow seemed to increase slightly—it seems that this unknown method of observation really consumes physical strength. It's not that big.

——Is there any special ceremony?

——I remember that in the world view of Goblin Slayer, I performed an extremely effective healing ritual of "a virgin and a hero sleeping together" at the invitation of the sword maiden... Well, although I robbed the treatment of the protagonist It's embarrassing.But at least I saved the protagonist’s village and his sister in the original work, thus preventing him from embarking on the path of Shura that kills goblins... In this way, it seems reasonable to charge some rewards?

——Is Persephone also using this kind of ritual?It's possible, after all, she knows almost all the exclusive Originium skills that require specific bloodlines or props in this world...

"I've always kept my eyes closed, Persephone." She patted the back of the doctor girl's hand lightly to express her comfort.

"Really, you have really changed." She heard Persephone's sigh, but it seemed to contain a light, suppressed inhalation. "You in the past, you in the present—Sirtel, you know. A lonely immortal is like a kite with a broken string, only able to float forever in the endless and unchanging pure sky—

——I have always envied you and your ability to dream.You can obtain endless fetters and memories in endless worlds and endless times.And I can only drift forever on the same boring land.You let me know what pain is, what jealousy is... woo... you, you, do you know?You let me study your dreams, in a sense, it is equivalent to sharing your special ability! "

——Is that really the case?

——It turns out that she...was really suffering all the time.

"Then I'll share it with you." Shirter thought for a while, and replied: "If I can, if I can do it, I will definitely find a way to bring you with me when I enter the dream world. But I also I want to make an agreement with you...I am also responsible for what happened to Teresia at that time, so I can't, and I can't continue to hold you accountable for it. But beyond that...don't go to those around you who trust you The person who is here has done it, okay? If you really can't help it, just come at me. "

——Then I will simply blow your head off, let you regain your sanity, and minimize the loss.

The girl beside her suddenly fell silent.

Silence, silence... The silence lasted until she felt that she had said something wrong and was about to apologize.

"This is really what you would say, Shirtel." The voice of the girl doctor was even more strange than usual. "I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Entering the sarcophagus may be the most correct choice I have made in my life. Even if what you think in your heart is not exactly the same as what I hear in my ears, it is also the biggest benefit in my life."

"Um... what do you mean?"

"I accept this agreement." Persephone said slowly. "However, I'm going to change the premise a little bit. I don't care when I enter your dream world, and I don't care how many people are in front of me. Because I have already obtained something more precious... But besides this, there is a small Minor additional requirements."

"……That is?"

"Hold my hand tighter," she said softly. "Don't worry about the treatment. It doesn't matter if you pinch my wrist directly. I want to... feel the touch."

Strange request—— Sturtle thought.

But considering Persephone's special ability and at least one hundred healing origin stone skills in her head, she still satisfied the purple-haired girl's heart.
