Offer your allegiance to Chaos!

"Although it is a continuation of self-hypnosis, they don't seem to be doing any forced brainwashing."

Ai Xi touched her face, her neck swayed left and right, and said delicately: "I admit that the teacher's words in the dream touched me a lot, but I still don't want to be a champion, I just want to share with the teacher. Posting... is there any use for this? Or is it a subtly induced idea that I will still have this kind of dream tomorrow night, the next night, and the next night, and I will always believe it is true?"

That would be great, I can post with the teacher in reality during the day, and post with the teacher in my dream at night, the dual world lines of Terra and Earth advance in parallel, and the fairy emperor is nothing more than that-they put cat food here?

"You don't want to be so beautiful." Amy poured cold water on him: "Read the Book of Slaanesh."

Ashe was taken aback, closed her eyes, and opened the Book of Slaanesh, only to see that the progress bar on the cover had moved forward a short distance, probably...

"94%." Amy said: "It's 3% more than last night. At this rate, you won't have this kind of dream again in two nights at most, and their goal should have been achieved."

"Two nights, is that enough?" Ai Xi looked strange: "A 100% progress bar is not enough for me to change the fishing concept I have cultivated for so many years, and isn't this progress bar the concentration of my love for my teacher? The more I love my teacher, the less likely I am to play games, isn't it the other way around."

"It's you who got it wrong, brother." Amy sighed, and pointed to the side of Ashe, "Look at the person sleeping next to your pillow, is there anything wrong?"

"Teacher? What's wrong?" Ashe was startled, so frightened that she thought that the Book of Slaanesh was interfering with reality and that something happened to the teacher. She turned her head like lightning, but only saw the silver-haired woman sleeping soundly, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He frowned and said, "This is not good, why are you so surprised——"

"You are watching carefully." Amy's voice sounded faintly.

"It's good to see again——"

Ashe retorted subconsciously, but his eyes did not leave the silver-haired woman in the past few seconds, and just like that, he suddenly became dumb when he finished speaking.

As if he had discovered some unbelievable fact, his pupils narrowed tightly, and his face was stained with astonishment.

"Found it." Amy climbed onto Ashe's shoulder from behind, put her arms around his neck, and said quietly, "She is not the teacher you love."

!!!

Ashe was like a strangled cat, with her mouth wide open, but she couldn't make a sound.

Doomsday panic flickered in his eyes.

Yes, as Amy said, she is a woman with exactly the same beautiful face and long silver hair. In Ai Xi's eyes, the two images of "Ms. Sicily" and "teacher" have produced a huge sense of tearing. Can no longer overlap.

I had this idea last night, but it was just a flash, Ashe didn't pay much attention to it, but after the second dream, it occupied most of Ashe's mind like a spreading cancer.

—Miss Sicily, not the teacher.

"How is this possible—" Ashe covered her eyes, rubbing and kneading vigorously, as if she was brushing off the invisible dust that covered the truth.

"Don't lie to yourself, brother."

There was no smile on Amy's face, only a touch of pity. She hugged Ashe from behind, breathed hot air in his ear, and whispered like a devil:

"You are just too dull, even with rational logical reasoning, you should have thought of it. Self-hypnosis just borrowed the template of Ms. Sicily, but on this basis, it carried out a purely original deduction based on the background of the earth. Your teacher has a complete set. The original family, childhood, youth and adult settings."

"Just like the butterfly effect, sometimes in the fan works of the original work, you only need to change a certain experience of a certain character with one stroke, and after more than ten years, she may grow into a completely different person, let alone you Your brain automatically deduced the entire background about your teacher... You can't even call it a parallel world. Your teacher and Ms. Sicily are two completely different people, except for the extremely similar appearance, tone and demeanor. , the structure on the bottom layer is completely different."

"Isn't this very clear in the dream just now? The teacher has never touched you from the beginning to the end. Even if she covets, she can restrain herself. What she longs for is not to possess you, but to witness you soaring high with her own eyes. , and what about Ms. Sicily? From the very beginning, she has an almost distorted possessive desire, greedily obsessed with your body, eager to lock you in a cage and keep you by her side for the rest of her life."

"And what you love is not Miss Sicily at all, but the teacher—"

At this moment, Ashe's pupils had shrunk almost to a point, and he stared blankly at the silver-haired woman beside the pillow, his mind blank.

But at this moment, the warm touch from behind suddenly disappeared, and the hot air from the ears also disappeared.

Amy disappeared again, just like every time she appeared, coming and going suddenly, like a ghost, like a devil.

But the disappearance this time was different from many other times.

Because, she left the worst situation to Ashe to face alone.

"Hmm... are you awake? What's wrong?"

When the dream ended and time flowed, the silver-haired woman was awakened by the air-conditioning from the lifted quilt. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Ai Xi with some doubts. Lazy, subconsciously reached out to touch his face: "Did you have a nightmare——"

However, Ashe's next movement made the drowsy Sicilian lady fully awake.

—he opened her hand.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When Ashe's hand hit Ms. Sicily's, she didn't even react, but stood there for a few seconds in a daze.

How could she react?In the years of being with Aixi or not being together, even if Aixi betrayed her, even if she opened her mouth to be an enemy of her, she never showed any resistance to her physical contact. When she lowered her head, he knew to look up When she kissed her head, she stretched out her hand, and he obediently held it, like a domesticated kitten, obedient and cute.

How could he think that one day, he would stare at her with an extremely strange expression, almost panicked, and wave to open her hand?

For the first moment, the silver-haired woman even thought that she was the one who had the nightmare.

But the pain from the wrist was slight but real.

"Ai...Xi?" She called out his name in astonishment.

At this moment, Ashe also realized that something was wrong. He tried his best to get rid of the two shadows that could not overlap in his mind, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, saying that he was frightened by a nightmare, but his face was extremely stiff.

In his field of vision, the familiar and beautiful face of the silver-haired woman was imprinted with the imprint of the teacher in his dream everywhere, but it was extremely strange. The huge sense of disobedience and the shroud of night made him feel a surge of emotion from the bottom of his heart. A sense of crisis.

Panting heavily, he finally shook his head feebly, supported the bed with both hands, and moved back until he reached the corner of the bed. He closed his eyes and stopped looking into the eyes of the silver-haired woman. Here comes a word or two:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I, I had a nightmare. I dreamed about things from a long, long time ago. I was still... when I was still in the Rhine Life Laboratory. I overreacted, I'm sorry..."

He apologized incoherently, but after all, his brain is easy to use. In just a few seconds, he still came up with a seamless reason.

Sure enough, when she heard the word "laboratory", the silver-haired woman's astonished expression quickly turned into disbelief and extreme anger.

"Laboratory? Rhine Life? Sure enough, I knew it, they really did a damn experiment on you—"

The silver-haired woman rushed forward recklessly, and hugged the slightly trembling Ashe tightly. Her lips trembled and her teeth were clenched tightly, with the anger accumulated in an instant.

Ashe's reasons are indeed flawless. He had already mentioned the past of Rhine's life to Ms. Sicily before, but only played down the experience of being a test subject. At that time, Ms. Sicily had doubts in her heart, but seeing Ashe's understatement and a calm mind, I didn't ask any more questions.

But tonight, Ash's sudden awakening, her ptsd-like symptoms, and even the outrageous act of opening her hand subconsciously, can only be explained by this incident.

——Of course, there was still a moment in Ms. Sicily's heart, some strange thoughts flashed through, such as why Ashe hadn't shown any problems in the past so many days, but suddenly had a nightmare tonight, but compared to the pity and anger, these distracting thoughts seem dispensable.

So, like a mother who coaxes a child awakened by thunder, she gently stroked Ashe's cheek, comforting in a low voice, "Don't be afraid", "I'm here", "I won't let you touch that place again." Kind of thing", lips kept kissing his forehead...

Ah, forehead.

With her eyes closed, Ashe felt the warm touch on her forehead, and the impression from her previous dream was instantly recalled in the sea of ​​memory—teacher, the teacher kissed him so softly and without desire at the birthday party... …

No, I can't think about it anymore!

After a short period of time, Ashe's flustered mood has gradually stabilized. He knows that the problems of the dream, the teacher, and the Book of Slaanesh are trivial matters at the moment. The success will disappear in smoke.

Taking a deep breath, he finally opened his eyes and tried hard to find the previous attachment and love. Fortunately, 94% of the progress has not caused an irreparable sense of separation. When he deliberately forgot the existence of the teacher, he I can give loving glances to the Sicilian lady again.

"I swear, I will definitely make Rhine Life's damn beasts pay the price—"

The silver-haired woman's anger had already accumulated to the extreme, but when her growl was about to expand again, it suddenly stopped.

Because Ashe opened her eyes and kissed her.

This kiss was not intense, but it lasted for 3 minutes. During the entanglement of lips and tongues, both of them gradually calmed down.

"...Don't worry, it's just a sudden nightmare. It's not the first time in so many years. It's probably because my arm accidentally pressed against my chest while sleeping."

Ashe's face was a little sluggish, and he forced a smile and made a cold joke, then closed his eyes, and retracted into the arms of the silver-haired woman - he didn't dare to look at her or talk for too long, because his mood was still fluctuating, and he might be watched There was a flaw, so he whispered: "Go to sleep... the night is still very deep... what's the problem, let's talk about it tomorrow... I'm still sleepy..."

The silver-haired woman was obviously full of problems and emotions, but looking at the sick and cat-like boy in her arms, she bit her lower lip tightly, let out a long breath, nodded lightly, and lay back on the pillow.

Both closed their eyes.

However, this night, it was obviously difficult for both of them to sleep well.

……

……

That night, Ashe thought a lot, and although he didn't come to any conclusion to solve the problem, he still gradually accepted the current reality—fortunately, no matter what the spiritual problem of "love" is, his realistic plan will not be affected. The first mission of saving Texas will not change. As for how to resolve the conflict between the teacher and Ms. Sicily... Alas, let’s put it aside for now. There are at least two nights before the 100% progress, and there may be a turning point.

In the middle of the night, I don't know what time, Ashe still fell into a deep sleep.

What woke him up in the morning was the hurried footsteps of doctors and nurses in the corridor.

— Texas woke up.

Ashe was awakened, while Ms. Sicily was sitting on the bed. She didn't know whether she slept or not last night, her face was gloomy, but when she saw Ashe woke up, she still showed a soft smile.

Ai Xi was still a little guilty, she didn't dare to look at her for a long time, she just leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips lightly, then jumped out of bed and began to dress, "Texas is awake... I'll go see Look at her, and tell her about the peace agreement last night."

The silver-haired woman's smile was a little stiff. She wanted to talk to Ashe about last night's nightmare early in the morning, but she saw Ashe's avoidance, and thought it was because he was not mentally prepared to uncover the scar, and just happened to touch him. When Texas woke up, he sighed and nodded: "You go."

After Ashe went out, her complexion turned gloomy again.

"Rhine life..."

She chewed on the term lightly, and a strong killing intent appeared in her eyes—far stronger than the killing intent aimed at the Restoration Alliance or even Texas.

……

……

Naturally, Ai Xi didn't know, because he planted the blame on a whim, Rhine Life has become the number one imaginary enemy in the hearts of the great dictator of Syracuse.

But even if he knew, he didn't care, except for the two guardians, it's none of his business that Rhine's life exploded on the spot.

The most important thing right now is Texas.

Texas is recovering well. When Ashe entered the door, Angel Energy was hugging her, laughing and crying. She was pale but not completely pale. She smiled and hugged Angel Energy, stroking her hair to comfort her. She, Laplande leaned on the window sill with her arms folded, smiling without saying a word.

According to the doctor, the toxins were removed very thoroughly, and Texas can even be discharged directly from the hospital. Of course, she still recommends to observe for a few days first.

"Listen to them, it was... that lady saved my life?"

Seeing Ashe enter the door, Texas's smile restrained a little, he let go of the angel, and after a moment of silence, he said with a complicated expression: "It's really unexpected."

"Indeed, I didn't expect her to make a move." Ashe nodded, he would naturally not let Texas improve the opportunity to increase his favor towards Ms. Sicily and prevent their conflict from intensifying. However, it introduced the key role of Ms. Sicily in this crisis in detail, and also concealed the fact that she still had the last resort to save Texas.

After listening, Texas' complexion became more complicated.

"So, does she still want to kill us now? Recruit me first, and then save Texas. If she still has to kill us in the end, it would be too boring." Laplande yawned, for some reason, She went to bed very early last night, but she didn't seem to sleep very well. She looked listless and lazy, and said lazily: "You two slept together in the same bed last night, you should have talked about it, why, did you Possibility of reconciliation?"

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional to pull the dog... No, it must be intentional. Ashe and Ms. Sicily spent the night together. Ashe glared at her, and sure enough, Texas' complicated look became more complicated.

"Hahaha, reconciliation is of course the best. In a sense, we are now teammates on the same front. After all, the assassination last night targeted both of us at the same time. How do you say that? The enemy An enemy is a friend—”

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the energy angel happily smoothed things over, and at the same time stared at Ashe fiercely to ask him to say something.

"Yes, we have initially negotiated a peace agreement." Ashe hesitated for a moment, then said: "The specific details, I want to discuss with Texas alone, you two go out first."

Well, this time it's time to get the dog out.

Can Angel Siduo dragged the bearded and staring Laplande away, and there were only two people left in the ward.

Ashe sat on the bed, looked at Texas for a while, and suddenly didn't know how to speak. After a long silence, he started with another topic:

"Do you have any idea about the faction who assassinated us last night?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Not surprisingly, it should be Uncle Albert's."

De Texas looked a little gloomy, but soon calmed down, "You should have guessed it, right? I recently contacted some people in the family in secret, and I am going to provide some help for your plan... probably touched Al Uncle Burt's nerves."

"People change." Ashe looked at De Texas's gloomy face, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, and sighed: "He has probably tasted the wonderful taste of power in the past three years. .”

Albert used to be one of the few people who sincerely treated Texas. He was also the most staunch "royalist" when the Ashe Regency family was in charge. Texas was able to entangle the pure-blood forces under Ashe's nose. , I am afraid that his secret help is also indispensable.

But after a lapse of three years, the former royalists swung their butcher knives at his emperor. Is there any other answer besides the word power?

"The pure-blood faction... I mean, is there any danger for those who are still willing to obey you?" Ashe asked, "He dared to kill you, is he ready for a comprehensive cleansing?"

"Probably not." Texas shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "I also found out after contacting them, and there are more people who are willing to admit me than expected, because Albert The successive power struggles have accumulated a lot of grievances. They account for about a quarter of the family's power. In other seasons, Albert would not dare to purge rashly, let alone now... This assassination is probably a secret Layout, trying to frame that lady, and use revenge as a banner to integrate people's hearts."

"The dead are more useful than the living." Ashe laughed, the situation was much better than he expected, a quarter of the power, even if most of them were loyal to Texas in name but had their own ghosts It was enough to create a tsunami in the family and even the Restoration Alliance.

This is his bargaining chip, the bargaining chip for negotiating with Ms. Sicily, and it is also the chip for possibly defeating Ms. Sicily.

"Do you need to use... the pure-blood faction as a bargaining chip in your negotiation with that lady?" Texas realized why Ashe laughed, and she changed to use Ashe's name for her "subordinate forces" a little jerky , nodded slightly: "If it can help you, that would be great."

"..."

Ash fell silent.

This short sentence confirmed Texas' determination to hand over the final card to him.

This is in line with the impression she has always given Ashe, she is such a person, she has no ambitions, and only wants to get out of the quagmire and live quietly.

It is safer to give the Pure Blood Pie to Ashe for use than to act blindly by herself.

But this decision was the exact opposite of what she had concealed from Ashe before—she clearly had no intention of telling Ashe about the existence of the Purebloods, but was secretly making some small moves.
