Alice in the Land of Steam

Is Chapter 424 really resurrected?

If you only think emotionally, no one would believe what they saw. The girl under the tree looked peaceful, as if she was just asleep. She might wake up at any time, rub her eyes and say that she had a very strange dream.

But Lingge's complex expression would not lie, and Leticia's chest did not rise or fall at all, as if she was buried in the deepest part of the dead fog forest. Metien raised her head helplessly, looked at her brother, and then looked at others, but everyone was silent, and no one could tell her whether this was reality or an illusion in her imagination.

But even if it was imagination, why would I imagine such a strange plot?
The thought of Leticia dying suddenly or something like that had never crossed her mind, so why did it happen so clearly?
Metien still refused to accept the fact. She staggered forward two steps and wanted to go over to check on Leticia herself, but was stopped by Saint Shaliya.

"Don't worry, Metien."

The gentle and soothing voice of the shepherdess sounded in her ears. It seemed to have a magical power that not only soothed the anxious mood of the pink-haired little girl, but also calmed the emotions of others: "You must believe in your friends. Do you remember what she said to you just now?"

If we were to ask who was the least frightened among the group, it would probably be Saint Shallia. Even Lingge lost consciousness for a while because of this sudden situation, but she was the only one who maintained a calm expression. It was not that she was calmer than Lingge, but because she believed in Leticia, and believed that her sister, who was also the [Girl Kingship], would never die so easily.

Although, she had not actually spoken many words to this so-called "sister".

Metien was reminded by her and then she remembered this. She had forgotten it because she was too surprised. Now thinking back, what Leticia said to her at that time should be...

"Well," Olvera suddenly spoke, interrupting the pink-haired girl's thoughts. She moved the lantern closer, using the faint flickering light in the mist to illuminate the peaceful pale sleeping face under the Metasequoia tree, and said in an uncertain tone: "Did Leticia move?"

This sentence immediately made everyone's eyes fixed on the vampire girl's face, and Metien was the most excited. She stared at her friend without blinking, her eyes were uneasy, her hands were clenched in front of her chest because of excessive nervousness, her fingers were unconsciously intertwined, and her knuckles were a little white.

The already quiet forest seemed even more dead silent. The air and fog seemed to freeze, and even people's breathing was drowned in a huge noise. At this moment, the rational world no longer existed. All emotions were dominated by emotions. The entire universe revolved around the girl lying in the arms of the tree roots. When her fingers suddenly trembled, Metien let out a cry of surprise and joy, but quickly covered her mouth with her hands, fearing that her voice would interfere with Leticia's resurrection.

That’s right, resurrection.

The pink-haired girl has accepted the fact that her friend has died, just as she believes that her brother will not deceive her. But it doesn't matter, Leticia will be resurrected after death and she will return to the world.

Is this the power of [Eternal Tooth]?
Linger watched the girl's fingers tremble more and more obviously under the tree, and her tightly closed eyelids were also quietly fluttering, as if they were about to open. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Then he took two steps back to leave enough space for Leticia to revive.

The girl's chest rose and fell slightly, and she began to breathe faintly from her nose. Her breathing was becoming steady and powerful, as firm as the sound of her heartbeat. She tried to open her eyes several times to break the shackles of darkness, but her heavy eyelids opened and closed powerlessly after several times. This process was very distressing. Metien even worried that her friend would give up opening her eyes because it was too difficult and voluntarily fall into the eternal and dead night. Fortunately, she finally opened her eyes and opened a door to the outside world with difficulty. Her new blood-red eyes were like seeing something familiar after breaking a closed eggshell. At first, she was full of confusion and helplessness, but soon she regained her clarity and reproduced the cat-like alert, calm and somewhat alienated eyes when Metien first saw her. She swept across everyone's faces one by one and examined them.

Seeing his friend successfully resurrected, Metien was overjoyed and was about to greet her, while expressing his nervousness, fear, and worry. However, at this moment, Leticia made a move that no one expected: she suddenly jumped out of the embrace of the dense root network, flapped her black bat wings and flew into the sky, looking down at everyone in the cold and humid fog, and at the same time, she opened her mouth, revealing her cold and sharp fangs, and a familiar, threatening roar rolled from her throat:

"who are you!?"

……

The shining light gradually faded, the tide of the sea of ​​stars turned into wailing, swallowing silently, and the statue made of crystal turned into a solid entity, with its own beautiful appearance, elegant posture and proud temperament. It was still the cold and beautiful girl with long snow-white hair, silver eyes, and wearing a wide-sleeved rose-red court dress. She was still standing there, as if she had never left.

Only those who have witnessed the miracle of resurrection know what her existence means, so they all show astonishment, enthusiasm, greed and disbelief. Maybe it will be more complicated, after all, we can't describe their feelings at the moment with words, just as they can't summarize the miracle that just happened with words.

Ever since the beginning of chaos and the germination of emotions, death has always been feared, rejected and avoided by people. Today, someone has taken the initiative to touch it and conquered it.

"Is this the eternal life you want? Immortality, immortality, and indestructibility... resist the call of death, and return to the world no matter how many times you die, and don't regard that as the end of your life. It doesn't matter if you have nothing to rely on or nothing to remember, as long as you have eternal life, there is nothing worth worrying about, and nothing worth caring about."

After regaining her life, the silver-eyed countess's mouth curled up a subtle arc: "Unfortunately, I have experienced this feeling too many times, so I can't understand your feelings. But at least, your eyes have told me how much you desire to obtain this power? It must be much stronger than the conspiracies and tricks you play on a daily basis. But emotions beyond sensibility are empty, wisdom beyond reason is numb, and similarly, desires beyond nature are redundant. It is the seedbed for the breeding of sin and the source of original fear. So, have you figured out how to get it? And what price you should pay for it? I just said-"

She looked around with a half-smile, taking in the faces with different expressions and thoughts, and said softly, "This price is very painful."

After that, she turned and left.

He left this space filled with a disgusting smell without any regrets, treating the aliens behind him as nothing. At the same time, he silently added in his heart: I'm sorry, Leticia.

But this is the last time.

　Give me some meow
