"Mr. Vichy, you are a well-informed soul demigod."

Deda Rose asked, "Have you ever seen a similar case before?"

Wei Xi thought about it, and his expression changed subtly: "If I must say, I once heard a very strange legend. If you put Ash's situation into it... then what Ash said might just be a story he is willing to believe."

"Let me sort out the life experiences you and he have described..."

Vichy raised a finger: "In his story, he has two very important companions, one is the psychic 'Igula' who understands the cunning of human nature, whose motto is "Give him what he wants and give him what he needs", and the other is the necromancer 'Harvey' who cares about life and death and has an obsession with corpses, whose motto is "Although this body is cold and fiery, I still look forward to the time when it will burn out."

"In many adventures, Ash is often only responsible for those parts that require courage, kindness, and sacrifice. When it comes to calculating other people's schemes, it's all Igula's job. And when dealing with corpses and facing death, Harvey often tells him a lot of weird logic that death is a normal process of life."

"When he first entered Broken Lake Prison, it was the sinister and cunning 'Igula' who made him realize the dangers of the prison; when he saw the cruel side of the Blood Moon Trial, it was 'Harvey' who was accustomed to death who made him give up his fear."

"It was Igula who devised the despicable escape plan, and it was Harvey who controlled Broken Lake Prison to meet the mayor's conditions for execution. Ash was just an executor who wanted nothing more than to survive."

"When they arrived at the Gospel Kingdom and were dominated by Annan, Igula thought he could bargain with Annan, while Harvey was bent on revenge against Annan. For Liz, both Aunt Borgin and Uncle Harvey scared her, but Aunt Borgin scared her psychologically and made her dare not lie, while Uncle Harvey scared her physically and made her dare not act like a spoiled child."

"The only character who is Ash is the one who dotes on Liz, treating her as a family member and a treasure, and never letting Liz suffer any injustice."

Weishi paused and looked at Diya, who had a horrified look in her eyes: "But witch, did Ash really never discipline you?"

Diya's lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word, and subconsciously she snuggled into Sonia's arms.

"It was even more interesting when we got to Senluo. Ash had to cooperate with Mercury Trojan and hunt down Silver Lantern all the way." Vichy looked at Visser: "You were already Sanctuary magicians at that time. Every battle was enough to destroy the town. I guess the damage and casualties caused were not small, right?"

Weisser closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to answer. But she was silent for a moment, exhaled, opened her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes."

"It was Igura who made the attack plan. It was Harvey who handled and used the bodies." Vichy said, "In Ash's story, he was only responsible for fighting Silver Lantern. Everything else had nothing to do with him."

"And we all know the ending of Senluo. The whole world was destroyed and millions of people died at the end of the world."

Vichy pointed at himself and said, "This kind of thing is naturally not worth mentioning to me. It doesn't matter to me how many Senluo died. But Ash watched Silver Lamp turn into a god with his own eyes, and watched that he couldn't save the world no matter how hard he tried. For a normal person, this should be a dead end, but..."

"When he arrived at Fanxing, the first thing he wanted to do was to meet Jian Ji and date her."

"Of course, he himself explained that it was Igulla who helped him with psychological counseling, so he was able to maintain his mental health and not be crushed by the heavy self-blame. If I'm not mistaken, Harvey's view of death also helped him a lot, allowing him to accept the result of death. He can even hum Harvey's elegy--"

"That elegy," Weisser said suddenly, "is a poem that has been circulated in the Senluo Tribulation Fire Temple."

"'Give him what he wants and give him what he needs'," Diya said in a trembling voice, "It is the family motto of Gospel Belldette."

Wei Xi smiled and said, "It seems that you have already understood the fun of this story."

"When Ash was trying to prove the existence of Igola and Xavi to us, the sentence he said most often was "I wouldn't have been able to hold on without them."

"Yes, without them, Ash really wouldn't be able to hold on, so in Ash's story, 'Igula' and 'Xavi' must exist."

“That’s the story he wants to believe.”

Vichy raised his second finger: "And in the second story, which is the story we know, those two people do not exist. Everything was done by Ash himself."

"He adapted to Broken Lake Prison alone, endured the pressure of the Blood Moon Trial alone, and planned a shocking prison escape plan."

"He had very conflicting feelings towards Annan, wanting to compromise for his own benefit, but unwilling to give in because of his resentment."

"He will discipline Liz strictly, but he will also spoil Liz unconditionally."

"He hunted down Yin Deng for half of Senluo, and in the end, he watched helplessly as the person he loved and the world he wanted to save fell into darkness."

"He was imprisoned in the Star Cage to participate in the Angel Hunt, but in the end, nothing could be saved."

"It was a long and desperate journey. He was displaced from beginning to end, driven by fate and driven by survival. He could no longer maintain his sunny and confident personality. He had to learn to be treacherous and cunning, and to accept death. So... he used his memories to piece together two companions, namely 'Trickster Igula' and 'Necromancer Harvey'."

"Iguera is him, Xavi is him too."

“He is the one who gives what he wants and what he needs, and he is also the one who waits until the end of time.”

"He was the one who did the self-counseling and he was the one who sang the elegy."

"He added two supporting characters that never existed in his magician's manual. Only in this way can he protect the last bit of tenderness in his heart."

“That’s the real story.”

After Vichy finished speaking, no one in the bathtub spoke for a long time. Although the bath was warm, everyone's heart was getting colder, as if their blood was coagulating.

"But why now?" Weisser suddenly asked, "He has never shown similar symptoms before."

"It's probably a trial from Heaven." Weishi guessed, "Carrying Heaven on his back may have an indelible impact on his soul... Wait, there's another possibility."

"He is now the fifth pillar god, the touch of the Princess of Firefly Brilliance!"

The operators were startled, and then their faces changed drastically!

Weisser immediately looked at Deda Rose: "Mercury Trojan told me before that the sense of touch and the Four Pillars are not one-way. The Four Pillars can perceive a corner of the world through touch, and the sense of touch can also perceive different dimensions through the Four Pillars!"

"Indeed," Deda Rose said calmly.

Sonia said: "So, is it possible that Ash just has this tendency? After all, normal people would also imagine a non-existent friend playing with them-"

"A normal person wouldn't do that, would they?" Weisser said.

"Yes!" Sonia and Diya said in unison.

Sonia continued, “In short, it was the combined effects of touch and the Heaven’s Trial that completely confused his memory and made him mistakenly believe that Igula and Harvey were real!”

"This is all a conspiracy of the Four Pillar Gods... no, the Five Pillar Gods!" Diya clenched her fists and stared at Deda Rose fiercely.

Deda Rose was somewhat helpless: "Let's not talk about the fact that I know nothing. Even if what you said is true, what good will it do for the Five Pillars?"

"You want us to distance ourselves from Ash, so that when Ash is alone and helpless, the Firefly Princess can take him for herself!" Diya said angrily, "How vicious!"

"So have you distanced yourself from the viewing seat?"

"…We were smart, so we didn't fall for your trick!"

However, even Diya felt that this suspicion was a bit untenable. If she just wanted to seduce Ash, there was really no need to make it so complicated.

Vichy supported herself with both hands and returned to the poolside like a lotus flower emerging from the water. The water slid along her curves and created a dazzling scene. She pulled the towel over her body and let down her tied hair. "Although it seems serious, the core reason is probably that Ash can't find anyone to rely on and can only rely on himself. As long as he finds a sense of security, this memory confusion is likely to heal without medication."

This is easy to handle, everyone thought.

Hearing the sound of getting dressed on the other side, everyone finished their bath. Although such an accident happened, if they can be sure that it is just psychological trauma caused by too much pressure, then it is actually quite easy to solve - they are quasi-demigod magicians!

Rather, hearing that Ash was under such a great deal of pressure, they couldn't help but feel a little pity for him in addition to feeling ashamed.

Therefore, the next thing becomes particularly important.

When they returned to the camp, they saw Yazheng sitting on a wooden chair, staring at the starry sky. Sonia and the others immediately took other chairs, and Felix, who had no seat, did not leave but stood aside and watched - she was also curious about what would happen next.

"Watch the girls." Deda Rose looked at the girls whose hair was still steaming, and couldn't help but curl up her lips slightly. She asked with a smile: "Is it time to go to bed?"
