Train to Moscow
They were clearly two different beings, but when Jiang Kexin was stared at like this, he strangely had an illusion, an illusion that they were one and the same.
Hagen performs the skill [Psychology: 80 roll: 1D100 = 30. A difficult success. Poor human, you should have concealed your feelings better. Revealing them so directly will only trigger the monsters' suffocating love.]
Jiang Kexin hadn't figured out what the system sound meant, but Hagen smiled. His eyes were full of pity, as if he was looking at a weak ant that would be crushed to death with just a pinch of his hand. Then he said slowly:
"It seems like you've discovered something. Well, in that case, are you still willing to go to the dance with me? Jiang, are you going to run away?"
When he talked about running, there was a hint of impatience in his words.
Iris looked at the two people silently, but although his face was covered with a leather mask, his expression could not be seen.
But his actions told it all. He had his hands behind his back, and his cloak fluttered with his movements. He just watched Jiang Kexin and Hagen's actions, and even Jiang Kexin could feel the joy of that inhuman being.
Jiang Kexin was in a trance. When she looked at Hagen, she seemed to see a monster. The monster disguised itself as a gentleman and asked him if he wanted to run away.
Although Hagen was asking him with a smile, Jiang Ke clearly saw the shadow of the monster and the tentacles flying in the sky, pieces of flesh, hallucinations, and the fear of being dragged into countless transparent tentacles and unable to escape.
Yes, it was fear. Jiang Kexin was not some special being. He was just a human being, and humans with high levels of inspiration were prone to going crazy in this kind of world.
What’s more, what about the humans who have already realized that these are monsters and are being shown love by the monsters?
Fear caused Jiang Kexin to trigger the appraisal directly.
[Jiang Kexin] performs a Sanity check [50]:
Monsters have no empathy. They see your weakness and madness as a sign of your love for them. Your sanity is reduced by 1d8=3 points, and the current remaining sanity is [47].
Please pay attention to your sanity points. Once they are greater than one-fifth in a day, your inspiration attribute will be identified. If the inspiration succeeds, you will fall into madness and you will not be able to escape.
Or maybe you should have gone crazy and indulged yourself earlier. Facts have proven that you can do it without suffering so much, right? Give up and admit it earlier. You belong to them, and you should be with them.
Jiang Kexin's originally chaotic mind came to his senses when he heard the system sound. Resentment was churning in his heart. He didn't want to be dragged into hell by this inexplicable love.
He wants to pass the level successfully, and he has already planned to use the love he hates in order to pass the level. Therefore, even if the other party is a monster, it cannot delay him from passing the level. He must pass the level, because behind him is the motherland that gave birth to him and raised him.
So what if they were monsters? What was the difference between their love and human love? Jiang Kexin's eyes became clear. Yes, so what if they were monsters? Don't monsters still have love? And he hated monster love just as much as he hated human love.
So fair.
However, this time it was not a complete failure. Perhaps the secret of this monster was the clue that would allow him to pass the level. He should be happy after knowing this secret.
Yes, he should be happier now, so Jiang Kexin should smile.
Jiang Kexin said this to herself, and Hagen in front of her was still waiting for her answer.
So smile.
Jiang Kexin forced a smile, which looked a bit pitiful and a bit broken. He said, "Well, so...what? I don't care. I will go to the dance with you, but Hagen, you have to finish what you promised me. I'll wait for you."
He spoke these words with some trembling until they became smoother.
Hagen's eyebrows curved and he smiled with satisfaction. He was like a child who had received candy, and his aura returned to calm.
He was reluctant to scare Jiang Kexin, otherwise why would he endure for so long? He could just restore his original form and drive Jiang Kexin crazy, or just eat this human being. In the final analysis, the reason why he didn't do that was because he couldn't bear to do it.
This wonderful feeling has always been in Hagen's heart, and Hagen believes that Earl Stanford feels the same way.
Although they are monsters, that is what humans think. It is because humans feel that they are not human that they call them monsters. However, in their own eyes, they are a race, and races will also have feelings of reluctance.
However, if Jiang Kexin discovered something herself and was afraid and frightened, Hagen would not comfort her. On the contrary, he would show his true self in an even worse way.
He knew that humans were too fragile and could not understand their existence, so humans were prone to madness. However, once they went mad, he would only stay with Him from then on, so it didn't matter if he became a madman in the end. Hagen would always love him and would always be entangled with him.
Ultimately, how they care is different from how humans care.

Tana had already walked from the other side of the snowfield to the gate of the amusement park. Looking at the quiet amusement park at night when she came here yesterday, and listening to the noisy voices and hawking sounds coming from inside, she felt inexplicably melancholy.
She walked on the snow, wondering what had happened to Ellisted. She looked at the various shops and let out a breath. The cold air came out of her mouth and formed a mist. The mist surrounded Tana, making her even colder.
She rubbed her scarf and stood aside waiting for Ellisted. By the way, she opened the teammate channel and reminded Ellisted to be careful and not to be impatient.
Tana [Be careful, I'm waiting for you at the door]
Ellisted had already said goodbye to Leir and left the alley. After giving his instructions, Leir went back to the clothing store to wait for their arrival. As for Ellisted, he had already sneaked over there.
Perhaps it was because Ellisted had finally overcome all the hardships and his luck had improved. He had not encountered any strange things or things he should not have encountered along the way.
He carefully followed Leir's instructions. Leir said in a disembodied voice that on the way to the amusement park gate, he should be careful of the oceanarium, the circus, and various shops selling goods. As a human being, he must be careful of those places.
The rulers and beings in those places hate the existence of humans. There are beings there that will make him lose his mind when he sees them, and there are things in those places that humans cannot touch at all.
Ellisted had been trying to avoid those buildings, but when he passed the oceanarium, he rarely stopped, and his pace became slower and slower.
Look, what did he see? He saw Jiang Kexin, Jiang Kexin... Ellisted's eyes widened. Wasn't it said that Jiang Kexin was with some earl?
How did you get here?
But besides Jiang Kexin, there was also a man in military uniform with his head covered by an unknown material and a boy with clown makeup on his face. The two of them seemed to be closing in on her. What were they going to do to Jiang Kexin?
Ellisted was a little nervous. He was now hesitating whether to help Jiang Kexin or do what he should do and then help Jiang Kexin.
No matter what, Ellisted shouldn't have stopped. He should have listened to Leir's warning. Sometimes the monster's warning is not completely useless, but Ellisted didn't listen. He stopped, and it was at this moment that the identification was triggered.
Ellisted's Stealth check result is: 1d100=68/40. "Regretfully, you shouldn't have stopped. Your stealth was already drawing attention. You should have listened more closely to Miss Rael. Ellisted, run!" [Failed]
Ellisted's breathing stopped. He knew what this sentence meant, that something had noticed him.
He felt a creeping fear that almost suffocated him, and he wanted to run.
But the man was in extreme fear and could not move.
But Ellisted didn't want to give up. His hands and feet were stiff, and Ellisted looked dazed.
His mind was tense and he was trying to think of a solution. He couldn't stay here because of fear.
Iris raised his completely covered face and stared at Ellisted accurately. He seemed puzzled as to why there was a human being here. Then he noticed that Ellisted's gaze stopped on Jiang Kexin. Although it was only for a few seconds, he still caught it.
Iris suddenly realized something, and an unknown gurgling sound came from her throat, like the sound made by a beast when hunting.
Just as Hagen was about to leave after giving all his instructions, Iris came closer to him.
Before Iris spoke, she looked at Jiang Kexin. The human seemed to be lost in thought. His eyes were a little confused and his face was full of tension. Seeing that he was not paying attention to this side, Iris tore off the mask.
