The process of resurrecting Alicia was not difficult for Fang Zheng.

Of course, only Fang Zheng dares to say “it’s not difficult”.

He first put Alicia's soul back into her own body, and then Fang Zheng used the power of his time and space dragon to "rewind" Alicia's body to before her death, but this was far from enough. Time reversal could not integrate the unity of soul and body, so Fang Zheng also needed to "cut" a piece of soul from Precia's body and then merge it with Alicia's residual soul.

If I were to make an analogy, it would be more like an organ transplant surgery between relatives. Fang Zheng chose Precia because she is Alicia's mother, and the two are more compatible in terms of soul fluctuations.

Next, Fang Zheng only needs to use the power of his soul as the "third magician" to resurrect Alicia.

Of course, cutting the soul directly is much more painful than cutting the body. After all, the body can be anesthetized, but there is no drug in the world that can put the soul into an anesthetized state. Therefore, for Precia, this is tantamount to cutting a piece of flesh from her alive, and she can't faint even if it hurts.

“Ugh…ah…”

Precia in the light ball had a ferocious look on her face, biting her lips tightly, her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and the occasional screams made others feel a little scared.

"Mother……"

Fate looked at Precia who was suffering in the ball of light with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"I just can't understand it."

Illya also looked depressed at this time.

"She's so good to her own daughter... why is she so cruel to Fate... this is too much..."

"Because she can't."

While maintaining the transmission of soul power, Fang Zheng answered without turning his head. After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Fate, Nanoha and others looked at him in surprise.

"Can't do it?"

"Yes, she can't do it."

Fang Zheng slowly moved his hands while continuing to explain to the girls.

"Now, you all know that everything Precia did was to revive her daughter, right?"

"Um……"

"That's right."

Hearing this, the girls all nodded.

"The first method she thought of was to 'resurrect' Alicia by duplicating her body and injecting her memories into it."

Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced at Fate.

"However, there are no two identical leaves in the world. Precia's plan obviously failed. Although the person she 'copied' looks exactly like Alicia, his inner self is completely different. This obviously does not conform to Precia's idea..."

"But, but, even so, wasn't Fate very good to her?"

Xiaoying couldn't help but ask at this moment, and Fang Zheng nodded.

"Yes, that's why she distanced herself from Fate."

"Why?"

Hearing this, not only Fate was stunned, but everyone else was stunned as well.

"Um... Teacher, I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"No one is without feelings, except plants and trees."

Having said that, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, adjusted the frequency of his soul vibration, and then continued speaking.

"You see, if someone treats you well, you will treat her well as well. This is normal, isn't it? But for Precia, she can't do this. She is afraid. She is terrified. She is afraid that if she loves Fate as her own daughter, she might gradually give up resurrecting Alicia. However, Precia will never give up. That's why she rejected Fate's love because she didn't want to 'abandon' Alicia because of this."

"this……"

Hearing this, the girls looked at each other, only Nanoha nodded slightly.

"I think... I can understand..."

"Nanoha?"

"When I was little, my dad got hurt really badly."

Looking at Sakura, Tomoyo, Illya and others beside her, Nanoha raised her head with a somewhat bitter smile.

"Because of his injury, Dad was hospitalized for a long time. At that time, Mom, brother, and sister were all busy with the Cuiwu business and taking care of Dad. I was still young, so every time I came home from school, I was the only one at home, even on weekends. I know I shouldn't complain because Dad was seriously injured and needed someone to take care of him, but I still felt lonely..."

"That's why Precia abused Fate."

Fang Zheng also took over the topic at this time.

"In fact, she just wants Fate to hate her, because the hurt caused to you by an enemy and a lover feels completely different. If you hate someone, then no matter how that person treats you, it will not break your spirit and soul. But on the other hand, if someone who loves you hurts you mercilessly, then you will only collapse and be hurt."

Having said this, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.

"So, if one of them could be cruel enough, things wouldn't be like this. If Precia could be cruel enough to forget and give up resurrecting Alicia, then she could start a new life with Fate. If Fate could be cruel enough to give up her love for Precia and turn to hate her, then she wouldn't be hurt so badly."

"So, big brother, what you mean is that it is because they are too gentle that they become like this?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's sigh, Xiao Hei showed an incredible expression, and the others also had complicated expressions at this moment. If one of them was wrong, then they could still support the other side. But now after listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, they suddenly felt that neither side was wrong.

Is it wrong for Fate to love his mother so deeply?

No.

So is it wrong for Precia to want to resurrect her daughter?

No.

So she was afraid that Fate might make her give up the idea of ​​resurrecting her daughter, and cause her such harm in order to drive her away.

Neither of these two people was wrong, but they still caused the current tragedy.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence and said nothing.

After a moment, Fate finally spoke.

"So...what should I do?"

"Only you can answer this question."

Fang Zheng said this, and then raised his hands again. As he moved, suddenly, two balls of light began to shine brightly.

The next moment, they slowly opened like petals, revealing the two people who were originally wrapped in them.

Seeing this, the girls also hurried to the two of them and observed them carefully. After a while, Alicia's eyelashes moved slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. She first looked at the people around her, smiled, and then turned her head to look to the side. At this moment, Precia had also woken up, and her eyes were fixed on Alicia, as if she was waiting for the final judgment.

Looking at Precia in front of her, Alicia smiled and then stretched out her hand.

“Mom…Mom…”

“Alicia!!”

Hearing Alicia's call, this time Precia finally couldn't help it and hugged Alicia tightly in her arms. The two hugged each other, unwilling to separate for a long time.

After a long while, Alicia finally let go of her hands, and then she looked at Fate standing next to her. Fate instinctively trembled when he noticed Alicia's gaze, and then hid behind Fang Zheng. However, Alicia didn't care about it, she just smiled and raised her hands to Fate.

"Come on, Fate, come here."

“…”

Looking at Alicia's hands opening towards her, Fate hesitated for a long time before slowly walking out from behind Fang Zheng. She carefully came in front of Alicia, looked at Alicia in front of her, and then looked at Precia next to her. For a moment, Fate didn't even know what to do.

But at this moment, Alicia took the initiative to come over and hugged Fate.

"I can finally... hold you in my arms in the real world... my lovely sister..."

“Wow…Wow…Waaaaaaah!!”

Hearing this, Fate finally couldn't hold back any longer. She hugged Alicia tightly in front of her and then burst into tears.
