His smile made Ryuzu frown, but Subaru didn't answer her, after all, it's useless to talk, no one can understand Subaru's heart now.

"Finally I know...the reason why you are so close to me, finally."

Lai Yuesubaru murmured emotionally to Echidna who was smiling under her eyes.

Echidna's purpose is to prepare a copy of her own life, transfer personality and knowledge—that is, the soul into it, and then achieve immortality.

In other words, this is the art of preparing the "next" substitute for life.

"It's a far cry from my Return of Death. "

From the first meeting in [WEB], Echidna had a great affection for Subaru Raiyue.

Warm hospitality, thousands of words, shortening the distance, winning trust, her attitude is so obvious.

Now I finally understand that it is the witch's joy, the joy of discovering the same kind.

"I understand your mood at that time... I was too happy to cry."

Subaru felt redeemed when he showed her the "return of death" and really felt that the world looked different, and Echidna must have felt that way too.

After understanding this, there is no dislike for her actions, rather, there is a sense of intimacy.

Laiyue Subaru's affection for the witch is indeed the feeling of gratitude for meeting the same kind.

Echidna, who longs for immortality, and Subaru, who repeats "death" in order to have a future.

They all violate the truth that there should be only one "life".

"I know your position, Miss Liuzi, and what Echidna wants to do.

Well, now that I know, I want to ask you... Has Echidna's goal been achieved? "

"Purpose means..."

"The container is ready, and the only thing left is to overwrite it.

Has this overriding process been successful?No, to put it more directly..."

——Is Echidna still alive somewhere in this world?

He broke off in the middle of the sentence because he hesitated to stop his tongue.

But as if he had penetrated into his heart, Liuzi shook his head, slowly.

"It must be extremely regrettable for the witch. The plan failed... No one will inherit Echidna."

"W-why? Is it the personality upload... did the overwrite fail?"

"It's not a complete failure. In short, the Witch's plan was achieved with flaws."

"Blemished form means..."

"It's very simple, if you pour too much water into the container, it will of course be full.

As long as a part of it overflows, it can't be called the original existence, but something else. "

When talking about the container, Leyue Subaru blinked, looked at Liu Zi, and then looked at Pico.

"The container can't fit, it's not a matter of body size."

"Perhaps it should be said that it is the capacity of the soul, human beings are containers suitable for their own souls.

And to receive the "Witch of Lust", the capacity of the container of Luz Meyer is not enough. "

"This kind of thing... don't you know before you do it?"

"As an old man, I don't understand the Witch's thoughts at all, I only know that the container chosen by the Witch, Luz Meyer, cannot meet her expectations.

As a result, the plan failed... and a serious failure was born, alas. "

Ryuzu shrugged tiredly, and Raizuki Subaru thought the same.

Echidna made a mistake in the last part that a witch should not have.

Subaru, who knew the person involved, felt that it was indeed her mistake—

"The plan failed because of this...but the number of replicants increased later, why?"

"Because the magic crystal of the cloned body is installed in the laboratory, as long as a certain amount of mana is accumulated, it will be automatically generated.

It is the setting of the witch that makes the magic crystal itself have such a mechanism. "

"The magic crystal itself... that is to say, will it automatically create replicants?"

"As a result, after the witch died, she remained in the laboratory, and the number of replicants is still increasing today.

It is at least redemptive that a body made by Emmanuel can survive without resources. "

After speaking, Ryuzu, who personally stated that she didn't need to eat or drink, made a sound and sipped tea.

"Although you seem to be drinking tea."

"It's a hobby of old age, one of those personalities you get from living so long."

Laiyue Subaru's powerless groaning was met by Luz's chuckle, and Subaru, who was slightly redeemed by that smile, let out a deep and long breath, and then asked a question.

"May I ask what happened to the failed first clone of [WEB]? Even if the soul can't be fully inserted, it still inherits part of the witch's memory, right? Even if it's incomplete, doesn't it still smell like a witch?"

"When pouring water into a container, you can't choose which parts will overflow?

It's fine if it's trivial memories that don't interfere with your daily life, but if it's a part that has a major impact on your personality, it's hopeless. "

After listening to Ryuzu's oblique explanation, Subaru Lai Yue imagined that [WEB] would be the first replicator of a failed work.

In other words, it became a "thing" that was far from what the witch imagined.

"That clone has a flawed personality, but because it inherited part of the power of the "Witch of Lust", it caused a serious commotion.

It is said that the former Rhodes girl took pains to get rid of her. "

"Punishment...that's it."

"Of course, if you give up after failing once, you won't expect to live forever in the first place.

The witch reflected on that failure, thinking about whether she could change the amount of soul injected next time. "

"As far as the object is the soul, it's amazing to be able to have this idea."

That is to say, in order to transfer the data, it is decided to compress the data.

To some extent, it can be understood by thinking of concepts like the capacity of computer data.

But Echidna, who doesn't know what a computer is and only relies on her "soul" to think the same way, is indeed very powerful.

"But judging from the direction of the dialogue, it still failed... right."

"No, the witch didn't catch up. Before the transfer, she was devoured by the 'jealous witch'."

"..."

Hearing the fate of the witch Echidna, and her wish not being fulfilled in the end, Leyue Subaru couldn't help sighing.

The demise of the six witches who were named great crimes is well known.

The witches I met briefly in the Dream Castle were nothing but soul residues that were wiped out by [WEB] No. 7 witches.

Or maybe it was just Echidna's whim that continued like that in the form of a soul.

Chapter 640 Second Witch Apostle

"And after Echidna's death, the 'Sanctuary' was managed by the Roswaal family.

Because of this, Miss Lutz lives here... Am I wrong? "

"It's true that it's related to Luo Zibao, but I'm bound by a contract to live here."

Contract—this word made Subaru Rai Yue raise his eyebrows and overreact.

After coming here, as long as it is related to this kind of word, it will not be a good thing, no matter if it is a contract, an oath, or a covenant.

Unaware of Subaru's reaction, Ryuzu sighed deeply.

"The old man was one of the four clones at the beginning.

In order for us to manage the increasing number of clones and "sanctuary", we are given knowledge and personality.

Until now, the old body is still continuing this task. "

"It means that you were given a mission and a personality when you were born?"

"Personality is acquired, but it is very difficult at the beginning, although there is no memory, but there are tasks.

The first time I felt the real sense of being alive was a few years after I was born. "

With a bitter voice, people can't help but wonder how long she has lived.

Only she herself knows how long and difficult Liuzi's life path is.

Echidna had been dead for 400 years—a time that Subaru could never have imagined.

"Thank you Ang Bao for your thoughtfulness, but there is no need to look sad.

The old man believes that it is of far-reaching significance to accomplish this mission in his own way.

There are thousands of situations, but thanks to this place, a large number of compatriots can be saved, and it is indeed valuable to maintain this place. "

After speaking, Liu Zi smiled, which made Subaru Lai Yue feel as if his chest was blocked.

The compatriots who are saved are the demihumans who have nowhere to go due to discrimination and prejudice, that is, the residents living in this "sanctuary".

No matter what the witch's purpose is, for them, this is a safe place, a hometown where they can finally live and work in peace.

But this land will be gnawed away by the teeth of monsters in a few days.

"—"

Something must be done!

That's something only you can do.

He had to do it, because there were lives here that had to be saved.

"Then, we've almost finished what we need to say. The chat dragged on for an unexpectedly long time."
