I Live Forever in Memory

"..."

"I know you may not believe her, but she really loves Betty." She said: "Although she didn't say it, Betty knew that the reason she made up 'that person' at that time was because she didn't want Betty to be sad. And self-destruction."

"Why do you say that?"

"After the melancholy demon Hector attacked the sanctuary, my good friend Liu Zhi entered the crystal. Roswaal was also seriously injured and dying, and even the mother at the time was helpless—as for the mother herself, her body functions were also destroyed. Destroyed and soon dead."

"..."

"In that case, it won't be long before Roswaal will die. Then all of my mother's bodily functions will stop. At that time, the dream world has not yet been established, and my mother may die too. In that case, mother Fabricated the existence of 'that person' and asked Betty to guard the forbidden library. Betty thought, mother...she was really afraid that Betty would lose all the people she cared about and choose self-destruction, so she did this."

"...That's it."

Li Lin nodded, it really makes sense to say so.

However, he couldn't tell whether it was true, or Echidna played another emotional card.There's no way, her acting skills are too realistic, to the point where it's hard to tell the truth from the fake.It's like a story about a wolf coming. Now, Li Lin doesn't know if there are real wolves, or another prank by a child named Echidna.

He looked at Betty, it was obvious that she believed in Echidna.In this way, he didn't have to sing any anti-tune, anyway, now the matter is over, and the intersection with the witch is also over.

"and also."

Betty looked up at Li Lin, "Mom has something to tell Betty to you."

"Huh? Why didn't she tell me herself?"

"... Mom said, you don't want to talk to her, do you?"

"Not to that extent."

Although he did have some dislike for Echidna, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't say anything.Besides, she protected him in the end. Without her breath, he might be killed by Roswaal the moment he stepped into the stone room.

"Mom said she wanted to answer a question for you."

"question……?"

"She said that you had agreed at the beginning that there would be three trials and three questions. The first question was the method to cure the curse, and the second question was to modify the contents of the Book of Wisdom. But the third question, you passed the trial, but No questions."

"..."

"My mother said that she is the one who will keep the agreement. So even if you don't ask, she will guess the question you want to ask and give the answer."

Li Lin didn't expect Echidna to remember this incident. To be honest, even he had forgotten it.

"Then she speculates what I want to ask, what is it?"

"The problem Mom speculates is." Betty paused, "'the recovery method of mental strength'."

Li Lin's pupils shrank suddenly.

That rascal……

That was indeed the question he wanted to ask.

Is that an accurate guess?

"Then," Li Lin looked at Betty, "what's the answer she gave?"

"contract."

"contract?"

"My mother's original words are 'spiritual power is a special energy body. Normally, once it is consumed, it can only be recovered after a long time. However, if the spiritual space is shared, it will be different.'"

"Spiritual space..."

"'As long as the contract is exchanged with another person with strong spiritual power, considering that his spiritual core is protected by extraordinary power, the spiritual space can only be unilaterally shared with him by another person, and he can draw another person when using this power mental strength.'"

"Unilateral sharing and extraction?!" Li Lin was startled, "Who would be so stupid!"

"Mum said: 'She does'."

"!"

Li Lin was a little stunned.

"She said: 'If he wants one day, come back to me. I'll be here waiting for him. Maybe it was a lie, but this time it's a gut feeling. He's the one I'm waiting for'"

"..."

What a joke.

Li Lin frowned, Echidna...will she be willing to do such a loss-making business? !

But

If signing a contract with other people can draw the spiritual power of others, then he can use more magic.But how much spiritual power can ordinary people have?Rarely, it is estimated that if you smoke it, you will become a fool.

However, Echidna is different. To be able to create such a realistic, dreamy, and boundless dream world, her spiritual power must be a terrifying reserve. If, if...

No, aren't there enough people who have been deceived by her!

Betty looked at Li Lin's face and whispered, "Betty hopes you agree, mom is really... very lonely..."

"...Betty, I'm sorry." Li Lin shook his head, "I have no way to agree. At least not now, maybe later, but not now."

He really couldn't accept it in a short time.

"Well, Betty got it."
