In addition to these more obvious changes, Vichy is sure that he has also experienced more detailed changes in his outlook on life.
If she had not experienced it herself, she could not have imagined that after just one year of living together, the principles she had adhered to for thousands of years would quietly collapse. The poison called "Ash Hiss" could actually pollute her soul and corrupt her mind so thoroughly.
I can never go back to being the ghostly prophet I once was.
But why...I don’t seem to be unhappy?
After eating three servings of Cloud Lava, Vichy also changed his mind.
She originally wanted to go to the Abyss or Paradise to carry out her "Soul Refining Project", create concepts to summon gods as quickly as possible, and then hold the Kingdom of Heaven high and step into heaven to fight for the final position of God... But now she thinks that maybe she can spend some time studying Ash as a person.
Note that it is not to save Ash. Although Vichy does not feel that she is really trapped, she does not want to take the risk of falling in love with someone else. She still thinks that the disappeared Ash is the good Ash. She will be anxious for whoever saves Ash. She is just curious about who Ash is and why he has such a big impact on her.
To be more precise, what she was curious about was not Ash, but "herself when she was with Ash."
She was both scared and curious, wanting to get closer but unable to help but stay away. Vichy had never thought that a non-existent person could make her so uneasy and conflicted.
She sorted out her feelings and prepared to return to Blood Moon. Since Ash's diary started from Broken Lake Prison, she decided to go to Broken Lake to take a look.
At this moment, the Dark Soul Wonders in the Magic Temple trembled slightly, and Wei Xi seemed to hear a distant voice: "You keep these three wonders. I will take good care of you... Always, always watch over you, until our lives come to an end."
She raised her head and looked around, but there were only people coming and going around her. She looked inside the dark soul wonder in the magic temple, and the wonder shook for a moment before returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Because the Dark Soul Wonder is a heavenly wonder with the Soul-locking God as its core, Wei Xi subconsciously thought that the Dark Soul Wonder was constructed by herself. But now after studying it for a while, Wei Xi immediately realized that the Dark Soul Wonder was definitely not constructed by her. Not only did she not have the memory of constructing it, but the wonder technique also contained some technical concepts that she did not quite understand.
It was not a wonder she had constructed herself, but the core was her own soul-locked divine spirit, which meant there was only one possibility—this was a soul wonder that Ash had built specifically for her using her divine spirit!
But didn't he keep warning me in his diary, wishing to deprive me of all my powers? If I said he gave me wonders and secret worlds, I could say he was using me, but he spent so much time and effort to customize a unique wonder for me...
Wei Xi's expression was uncertain, and she suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away. Just now she wanted to pursue Ash's secret, but after she really found some traces of Ash and her, her first reaction was to run away.
It's hard to describe Vichy's mood at this moment. After losing all her memories of Ash, her self-awareness actually completely regressed to the "Ghost Prophet period", so she is now observing the devil maid from the perspective of a ghost prophet... If I have to describe it, it's like a girl who thought that falling in love was stupid when she was young, and suddenly glimpsed that she might become a gentle wife in the future.
There is an indescribable feeling of shame, and I really don't want to face this possibility.
But Vichy suppressed her shame and carefully observed the Star Bridge Hall. Since the Dark Soul Wonder was vibrating here, it meant that there must be clues related to Ash... Soon, her eyes locked on the stone beam under the dome.
Wei Xi remembered that she had come to the Star Bridge Hall for reconnaissance and stayed on the stone beam for at least an hour. But the reconnaissance was over after just one look, so there was no need to stay for an hour. In addition, the Dark Soul Wonder was vibrating, which meant... She was very likely to have fought with Ash on the stone beam!
She came to the stone beam silently, and had a panoramic view of the bustling Star Bridge Hall below. When she approached the location where she was investigating, time and space suddenly became sticky, and broken fragments of memory kept flashing back, as if this was the weakest intersection of two different world lines. The closer she got, the more she would resonate with the hidden real world line!
Bang!
Vichy saw a brilliant firefly flashing in the sky, and immediately his mind was drawn by the thread of longing, as if he was sinking into a deep lake of memory and trying to find his lost memory gem from the murky and dark bottom of the lake.
She saw Ash sneaking into the Star Bridge Hall with her, saw Ash building a dark soul wonder for her, saw Ash asking her if she would still kill people to refine souls, saw her ruthlessly destroying Ash's fantasy about her, and when Ash was depressed, she proposed a deal with him to "pretend to fall in love with me"...
So that's it. I completely understand.
Even in the vortex of memories, Vichy was still able to maintain her original intention and was not affected by "Maid Vichy" at all.
She was worried about how infatuated the maid was with Ash, but she didn't expect it to be just this degree - the maid did have some feelings for Ash, but she just wanted to use Ash as a toy to relieve stress, so she proposed the trade plan.
There is no love, only transactions. After having fun, I just pretend nothing happened. I can even take the opportunity to dominate Ash! I said, how could I be in love? It turns out that Ash and I are just pure friends with benefits!
If you think about it carefully, Ash risked his life to conquer Sword Lady, Witch, and Lantern. He exchanged irreplaceable experiences for their lives and touched their sincerity with the test of life and death. This is certainly useful for young girls, but how could it work for me?
Companions are companions, friends are friends, and lovers are lovers. These are three completely different concepts. No matter how well Ash performs during the adventure, I will only recognize him as my companion, and will not upgrade him to a lover.
In fact, there is no possibility of him becoming my lover, because I can't even imagine the expression of myself being infatuated with someone else.
But Ash is also amazing, he can actually make me like him, but it's a pity that's all. With my active seduction, he will surely fall in love with me and become my slave——
Then Vichy saw in his memory that Ash was kissing her while holding her armpits with both hands. He slowly pushed his hands inside, squeezing Vichy with his tiger's mouth, kneading from bottom to top, with the strength from light to heavy, over and over again...
When Vichy came to her senses, she was already slumped on the stone beam, her head was dizzy, her face was so red that it seemed like blood was dripping out, her whole body was limp and wet.
"What's going on?" She touched her burning face, "What just happened? Did Ash use a miracle?"
"Damn it, if he does it again, I will definitely see through his tricks!"
“Again!”
"Come again!"
"I don't believe I can't make it through even once!"
