"I'm so sorry, MASTER!!"
Looking at Illya kneeling in front of him, not daring to move, Fang Zheng smiled and touched her head.
After this night, when Illya woke up the next morning, she had turned back into her original self, but she seemed to still have memories of last night. When she recalled it now, her face turned red and she buried herself in the quilt, like an ostrich, not daring to move.
"It's not your fault, Illya. Well, I'm also... sorry for not paying attention to your feelings in time."
"No no no, Master, it's me..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Hearing that Illya was still about to refute, Fang Zheng reached out, hugged Illya's petite body in his arms, and whispered in her ear.
"And I don't hate you like that, okay?"
“Woo…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Illya's cheeks immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
"But then again, what exactly is going on?"
Fang Zheng didn't think that Illya had this skill. After all, as a MASTER, he had never seen Illya with this description. However, Illya's condition last night was obviously abnormal, and she was not imitating Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was just actively teasing, but Illya's actions last night were completely different.
"Uh... this, I'm not sure either..."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Illya blushed and stammered.
According to Illya, she felt very upset after quarreling with Xiao Hei yesterday, so she went back to her room to rest. Then at night, she felt as if she fell asleep in a daze, and then had a dream. However, it was not just that simple. In that "dream", Illya felt as if all her mental constraints were broken. On ordinary days, just thinking about similar things would make the little guy blush and shout impure.
But last night, she seemed to have been drugged, and she had no taboos, doing whatever she wanted, without considering the consequences. All the thoughts that had restrained her in the past were thrown out of her mind by Ilya, and then she went straight into Fang Zheng's room, and the rest... is history.
Is there such a thing?
After hearing Illya's shy answer, Fang Zheng was also puzzled. He also suspected that Illya was contaminated by chaos, so he specially checked her, but the result showed that everything was normal.
But then again, Fang Zheng was actually not unfamiliar with Illya's reaction last night.
Indeed, he had never seen that kind of innocent yet charming and lustful attitude in "this" Illya, but Fang Zheng had seen a similar Illya before.
That was the image of Illyasviel, the master who had signed a contract with Berserker during the Fifth Holy Grail War, whom I had seen in games and anime a long time ago.
Cold, seductive and innocent yet cruel and possessive.
To be honest, before summoning Illya, Fang Zheng had always had that impression of Illya, but the Illya he summoned was from a completely different world, so over time, Fang Zheng had long forgotten the Illya he saw when he was playing games and watching animations.
Sometimes, Xiao Hei would show some of the personality of "that" Illya, but only a part of her. Although she would be a little bit naughty, her behavior would still show some childish liveliness and mischief.
However, Illya last night was completely different. Her lust and charm were obviously accompanied by the calmness and charm of an adult, and there was also an indescribable sense of oppression. It was as if she wanted to swallow a person whole, skin and bones, with greed and desire. This was obviously not the character of the magical girl she summoned.
Even if she was subconsciously imitating Xiao Hei, she couldn't do it to this extent. Fang Zheng was a veteran and could see this at a glance.
At that time, it was more like Illya had merged with her self from another world rather than being possessed.
Myself in another world...
"Come to think of it, you came to this world through a multi-dimensional circuit, right?"
"Ah... well, Xiao Hei said this would be very effective..."
Although she didn't know why Fang Zheng asked this question, Illya still nodded obediently.
"I see……"
Xiao Hei probably didn't expect this effect. You know, although Illya is not the second magician, she holds the ruby staff, which is basically equivalent to the messenger of the second magic. If her mental state fluctuates and she synchronizes with her in a parallel world, it is not unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt that he had almost figured out the reason why Illya turned so dark last night.
"Okay, go back and have some rest."
"Oh, okay!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Illya nodded with a red face, then hurriedly slipped out of the room and returned to her bedroom. Then Fang Zheng also changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
Just as Fang Zheng reached the stairs, Xiao Hei poked his head out and waved at him.
"Big brother, this way, this way."
"Um?"
Seeing Xiao Hei's greeting, Fang Zheng turned around and walked into her room, and then Xiao Hei closed the door.
"Brother, what happened to Illya last night?"
"Did you see that?"
"yes."
At this moment, Xiao Hei had a serious and uneasy look on his face. Under normal circumstances, if something like this happened, the little guy would definitely smile evilly and have some bad ideas, but this time, Xiao Hei's reaction was obviously more serious.
"I heard the noise coming from your room next door, and then I secretly looked over. I thought Illya had finally gotten the hang of it, but that Illya...what on earth is going on?! Is that really Illya? It doesn't look like a dream summon..."
That's true. If it's a dream summon, the person will change their clothes, weapons and fighting style, but their personality will not change. The Illya last night was obviously not the Illya that Xiao Hei was familiar with. No wonder she was so panicked. It's no wonder. If Fang Zheng hadn't watched the animation and played the game before, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out what happened to Illya. At that time, Fang Zheng might be as terrified as Xiao Hei.
"I suspect that Illya's mental instability may have caused her to subconsciously synchronize with her parallel self, causing her to become like that."
"So, there is an Illya like that in other worlds? How is that possible?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's explanation, Xiao Hei was in disbelief.
It was no wonder that Xiao Hei knew Illya as a kind, obedient, well-behaved girl with a weak personality. She was completely different from the little queen who exuded a cold and erotic aura last night. She probably couldn't imagine why Illya would become like that.
"At least I checked. She should not be contaminated by Chaos. I don't sense the aura of Chaos on her."
"Is that so... That's good..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Xiao Hei breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and left the room. It was obvious that this was what Xiao Hei was most worried about. After all, it was she who instigated Illya to open the multi-dimensional channel and travel through it. If Illya was corrupted by chaos during this process, then it would be a disaster.
Having followed Fang Zheng for so long, Xiao Hei naturally understood how terrible the consequences of being corrupted by chaos were. That was why she didn't even comment on what happened last night and just turned and left... Well, although she was always arguing with people, deep down in her heart, Xiao Hei still cared about Illya.
This morning everything was normal. Although Illya was a little embarrassed, she still came down to eat. Originally, if Xiao Hei teased her here, Illya might have gone crazy. But maybe because he was frightened by Illya's change last night, Xiao Hei was not in the mood to tease her again, and the other girls obviously didn't know what happened last night, so this breakfast finally ended peacefully.
After that, Fang Zheng went to Starlight Technology. At the same time, he also got a report on the solution to the "campus ghost incident" from Tova.
"The incident has been resolved. According to Miss Estelle, this incident was caused by a gang."
"These idiots really have nothing to do."
After hearing Tova's report, Fang Zheng snorted coldly and shook his head.
"Forget it, at least the problem is solved. Exam week is coming soon. If I let this kind of boring stuff take away my attention, I won't get good grades."
Anyway, the problem is now solved... in every aspect.
"So……"
"boom--!!!"
Suddenly, just when Fang Zheng was about to start today's work, the ground began to shake violently, and a violent vibration was felt. For a moment, there were clanging sounds everywhere.
"ah--!!"
Tova was also unsteady on her feet at this moment and fell directly into Fang Zheng's arms, while Fang Zheng grabbed her body.
"Don't panic, it's okay. The Starlight Technology Headquarters is designed to be earthquake-resistant. An earthquake of this magnitude won't pose any threat."
“Ah, yes…”
Perhaps because she was held in Fang Zheng's arms, Tova seemed to feel much more at ease. Soon, the earthquake gradually subsided, and then everything returned to normal. Only then did Fang Zheng loosen his hands, and Tova's cheeks flushed slightly, and she hurriedly tidied her clothes.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng. I will go outside to maintain order now."
"Well, go ahead."
Seeing Tova leaving in a hurry, Fang Zheng frowned.
Earthquake? Why do earthquakes happen suddenly?
Not only that, just now, when the earthquake occurred, Fang Zheng could feel that the Seven Lights Earth Veins beneath the ground seemed to fluctuate and become chaotic for a moment.
What on earth happened?
