Chapter 107 You Possess the Will to Die, the Sun and the Moon
Vifiya's straightforward question made everyone present look sideways.
If the person she was communicating with was one of the culprits who caused the tragedy in Yoko Village, who would be so honest and tell her everything?
"A spectator, and a watcher." As if worried that Vifia might think its sincerity was insufficient, it explained, "I'll be observing everything you do, monitoring whether the experimental subjects escape."
Vifiya's eyelashes moved slightly, and her guess was verified step by step.
"Why did you come to me?" she said. "I'm not the only one who made it out of Joko Village alive."
"This is the second question. Can I understand this as your concern before answering?"
"Yes." Vifiya did not lie.
[Eyes] did not answer immediately. Hidden in the darkness, it seemed to want to see something clearly, but unfortunately, everything was still blurry. In its sight, there was a place that belonged to the girl named Vifiya. Her colors were brighter than anyone else's.
"You are special. I am the first one in a human being..." it retorted to itself, "No, it is all things in this world..."
It was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to describe what it saw.
Vifiya did not pursue the unfinished question. The moment the [Eye] spoke to her, she automatically classified it as an enemy.
But this thing...
"Why don't you come to me alone?" But in such a place with so many people.
"Hmm?" The Eye wondered why he hadn't come to her alone. The Eye, in the darkness, realized belatedly that it had never considered this possibility. "I wanted to see you. Now that you're here, the shackles between us are gone."
The restraints it mentioned should be the reason why they were able to communicate after Qingzhu removed some kind of barrier.
This thing is horribly honest.
Vifiya has lived for so many lifetimes and dealt with all kinds of people, so she can more or less judge the truthfulness of everyone's words.
This thing, [the eyes], every time it speaks, it's incredibly sincere. If it were acting...
"It didn't lie." Qingzhu spoke at the right time.
There was something complicated in Vifiya's eyes. A thing that was in an enemy state and no one knew what it was could be so honest in front of its former opponent.
Even though she was sure it wasn't lying, Vifiya still said with deliberate doubt, "Really? You helped them." After a pause, she added slowly, "I don't believe you."
The black mist on the wooden table stirred slightly. After a moment, a doubtful voice sounded in her mind again: "What should I do to make you believe me? Are you worried that I was sent by them to investigate?"
"I escaped on my own. I avoided God's perception and made it here."
Without Vifia's test, it actually revealed its own abilities.
Vifiya's eyes suddenly became sharp, avoiding God's perception. She lowered her eyes and looked at the black fog, with an even more scrutinizing look in her eyes.
Her eyes suddenly changed, and the friendliness in her body disappeared in a place she didn't realize it was gone.
Everyone present, except Isidore who didn't care, could see that it was an expression of assessing value, a look of re-evaluating the things in front of him.
None of them bothered her.
Hefa, who had made a deal with her, knew what she was up to when he saw her appearance. The last time she said "I don't need a knife", he handed over the sacred object of Buma Lingdalie with both hands, although he just went with the flow.
"The real body is inside the tent, above you, and it's watching you." Qingzhu reminded.
Vifiya stared at the black mist and raised an eyebrow. The magicians present were basically all top-tier in this world, and none of them noticed the existence of the [Eye]. Putting aside why it was discovered by Isidore last time, the fact that it could avoid the false god's perception...
In just a moment, she made her decision.
Take advantage of everything you can.
In the distant memory, the voice that should have been stiff is unusually clear and vivid.
"Make use of everything you can." The clear and crisp sound that usually came out of his mouth entered his ears in another way, with a subtle difference.
"This is what I want to teach you. The third way to survive here."
"Listen carefully, I'm different from you."
"I can do whatever it takes, but you can't."
"You must remember to add a condition to your use. Never, ever cross this condition, ever."
The sound faded away in memory, as if it were Vifiya's imagination.
Her eyelashes trembled and she laughed inappropriately, "[Vifiya], I did a good job on this point. You should praise me."
"Eyes." She spoke softly, her eyes teasing. She lifted her eyelids, ignoring Jie Wanlin and Xiu in front of her, and looked straight up. "Why not, talk to me face to face?"
All the people sitting suddenly stood up. Osa gripped the sword at her waist tightly and followed her line of sight, making movements ready to attack at any time.
There was a magical glow in the hands of Hefa and Isidore.
The calm air was silent for a while, and suddenly became thick, and the transparent white continued to overlap and become clear.
Drops of black mucus fell to the ground and disappeared as if evaporated. Black appeared in the air, but it was like stars in the dark night.
An eye peeked through the starlight, its Capri blue eyelashes speckled with gold. When it opened its eyes, it was as if the sun's rays had descended upon the earth.
A strong and pure golden sun, with sharp curved horns extending from all sides of this golden wheel, and a hazy tail like a rising flame, while the center is occupied by a moon with silver light that penetrates the bones. Standing quietly behind the pupil is a pair of vaguely visible separated pure white six wings.
There were eight pairs of eyes in the tent, and among the complex and indistinguishable colors, it was looking only at Vifiya, that soft blue mixed with a little red.
The human that made it curious.
"So, can you trust me?"
This scene was so beyond comprehension that everyone present was motionless for a moment.
If they had initially divided their [Eyes] onto the enemy's side, then now, the [Eyes] fully exposed in front of them were holy, and the scorching sun seemed to be able to burn them. The full moon was like a hazy veil, but because of the dripping black mucus, it actually carried a sense of impending corruption.
The two ends pulled each other repeatedly, but reached a strange balance, more like a bystander witnessing everything in the distant starry sky.
The black mist on the wooden table dissipated instantly without anyone noticing.
Everyone stared [eyes] and quickly reacted, but no one took the initiative to take action.
Vifia stared straight into its pupils. A few simple questions couldn't dispel her concerns at all, but... she changed her mind now. Her lips moved, "Human trust is not so easy to gain." After a pause, "But I can answer you now."
Unlike the others who were vaguely wary, Vifia smiled calmly. This [eye] was not only honest, but even innocent. It did not show any tendency to attack. At least from her conversation with it, she was sure that it would not take action here, otherwise she would not have directly invited it out.
On the other hand, with Isidore and the others around, she had an extra layer of protection.
"The first question." Vifiya said.
"Why are you angry?" [Eyes] spoke at the right time, but it still only echoed in Vifia's mind.
"Emotions. Most people will be angry when people or things with whom they have emotional ties leave in unexpected and abnormal ways. I am also a human being, so this is not surprising." Vifiya said lightly.
"Why would you choose to destroy the falsehood of Joko Village by hurting only yourself?"
"That's the easiest way, isn't it?"
The Eye, having received the answer, remained silent for a moment. It vaguely sensed that she hadn't finished speaking, so it continued, "Do you think you are less important than anyone else?"
Am I lighter than anyone else? Vifiya lowered her eyes in thought: "Yes, and no."
Deep down, she did despise her own life because of the endless rebirth. She was even willing to gamble her life on a possibility and would have the idea of giving up everything. As such, she could not refute the contempt it asked about.
But if she really looked down on herself, she wouldn't have persisted until now.
People are contradictory.
[The eyes] remained motionless, and within its sight, that hint of blue grew increasingly brighter. In this world of vibrant colors, this single color alone made it want to approach.
"Can I ask you another question?" The woman's voice was soft, filled with a desire for knowledge.
Without Vifiya's consent, it was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
She lifted her eyelids and stared into the pupils of the [Eyes], pupils that closely resembled those of the sun and the moon. "I will answer as appropriate."
“How do you view death?”
Vifiya's eyes moved slightly, and her gaze finally changed. She looked deeply into [Eyes] and said, "I don't want to answer."
"You have a faint aura of death." The voice of [Eye] echoed in her mind, "You have the will to die."
Upon hearing this, Vifiya laughed, her words so vague that it was hard to tell whether they were true or false: "Really?"
The [Eyes] in front of her seemed to have come simply out of curiosity about her, for such a simple reason.
She once again made another judgment about the [Eye]. Its position was unclear. Compared to directly placing it on the enemy side, its attitude was more like doing whatever it wanted and acting according to its heart.
"Can I come closer to you?"
Vifiya stared at it, trying to judge its intentions, but with only one eye, she couldn't tell what it was thinking.
"I want to make sure of one thing," it added.
She didn't answer immediately, [Eyes] wanted to confirm whether the matter would be harmful to her?
"Let it be confirmed." Qingzhu suddenly spoke.
Vifiya's eyes did not change, and the dragon from her hometown's firm words dispelled her concerns.
She is also very curious now, what [eyes] want to do.
She looked at Isidore and the others who were still on guard and said, "Don't attack it later."
They didn't say anything, but they somewhat withdrew their hostility, but their vigilance did not decrease in the slightest.
The [Eyes] who received the consent slowly stepped forward, the dark night starlight behind them drifting like a gossamer.
It descended slightly and met Vifiya's gaze.
They are clearly not the real sun or moon, yet they seem to be scorching hot and chilling to the bone.
The three pure white wings on the left side of the pupil emitted an even purer light, and continued to stretch in the eye, sticking out of the eye, and black mucus dripped down the wings to the ground and disappeared.
The white wings, larger than a human's, gently reached out to Vifia, but only touched her cheek cautiously.
In just a moment, [Eyes] finally understood why it was curious about this human.
