A scene that would never happen in reality was happening inside the wooden house—eight people, four different faces.
Half is the real thing, half is an illusion.
However, the original body has lost all its memories, and the phantom not only has all the memories, but is also responsible for assessing the original body. Although the reversal of status between the lower and the upper sounds quite funny, it is not very friendly to the parties involved.
"How could such a thing happen..." Sonia clenched her sword, shook her head and retorted loudly: "How could such an outrageous thing happen? You must be lying to me! You must all be bad people, all bad people..."
It's more like she is convincing herself than refuting.
"It's a normal reaction." Sword Princess said calmly, "After stripping off the disguise of memory, you are left with only the purest vigilance towards this world - you are eager to control your own destiny and cannot tolerate yourself drifting with the crowd."
The viewer spread his hands and said, "It's different from someone else."
"However, although you don't want to believe it, you dare not disbelieve it, because you don't know what treasure you have lost." Sword Princess said: "Nothing makes you more uncomfortable than loss, and you are not someone who will easily admit defeat."
"Tough yet fragile, complex yet simple, vigilant yet eager to be embraced... You are so easy to control." Sword Princess looked at the witch: "In comparison, your guest really seems to be leaving."
At this time, Diya was completely curled up in the corner, hugging her legs and burying her head in them, as if praying that others could not see her. She was trembling all over, mumbling words that no one could understand. Not only was her hair as dirty as a bucket of paint, but even her clothes kept changing. Her left foot was wearing black silk stockings, her right foot was wearing white silk stockings, but both feet were wearing red boots, and her hands were also wearing sleeves of different colors.
Compared to the innocent, cute, dignified and generous witch, Diya is just like a dirty child in a clown costume.
"Hey—" the witch said loudly, "Don't be afraid. Give them a little more trust, okay?"
However, the witch's words had the opposite effect. Diya trembled violently. She was almost mentally broken by the voices in her mind and could no longer withstand any external stimulation. She gasped and crawled along the wall to move out - she wanted to run away.
She didn't care about any memories or precious treasures, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible!
Looking at such a weak Diya, the witch narrowed her eyes slightly, and waves that no one could see surged in her deep eyes.
Generally speaking, magicians enter the cabin alone. Although most magicians will become hypochondriac and difficult to calm down after losing their memories, after being comforted by the phantom's words, the magicians will basically stay to participate in the game and complete the question and answer session.
After Diya's memories were stripped away, she was unable to live in harmony with the sisters in her mind. She couldn't even understand what was happening to her - why were there so many noisy voices in her head?
If she was the only one here, it would be fine. The quiet wooden house could help her calm down slowly - the reason why the wooden house was designed to be so relaxing and warm was to comfort the magicians who were panicking because of amnesia.
But besides herself, there were several "strangers" in the wooden house. For the timid Diya, this was a torture no less than hell.
who are they?
Who are you?
Run away, run away quickly, there are so many strangers here——
"Look."
Diya looked up and saw Yaxiu squatting in front of her. There was a flash of sword light on Yaxiu's fingertips, sometimes turning into blooming flowers, sometimes into paper cranes, and sometimes into a happy kitten, instantly attracting Diya's attention.
"Sweet or savory, which do you prefer?"
"Sweet fragrance."
"Like me, do you like the feeling of flying?"
"I don't like it. It's scary to fly so high."
“I quite like flying…”
While asking various questions, Ash slowly approached Diya, squatted beside her, reached out and gently stroked her head, and then stroked down the back of her head and gently patted her back. Diya enjoyed it very much, and the tension on her face was relieved a lot. She rubbed against Ash's arms like a kitten, and her dirty hair color gradually became clear.
"I know you're scared." Ash said softly, "I'm actually scared too. People who are scared should stay together. That way, even if they encounter danger, at least they won't die so alone."
Diya and the sisters in her mind were stunned. This is the truth, but... it doesn't sound like it makes sense.
"Are you afraid too?" Diya asked, "But I can't tell."
Sonia hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but quickly made up her mind.
She approached Ash and Diya, stretched out her finger and cast a miracle.
A spiritual miracle composed of "sincerity", "fluctuation", and "murderous intent"——
Miracle: Treat people with sincerity!
A bright red light appeared at her fingertips, as dazzling as a ruby. She motioned for the two of them to touch each other, and Ash took the lead. Diya hesitated for a moment, and then carefully extended her index finger towards the red light.
Fear, worry, uneasiness, fear, loneliness, tension... countless emotions washed over the two people's mental coast like a tide, and they soon realized that this was Sonia's current mental state.
She used miracles to prove that she was just like them, a weak girl who had lost her memory and was panicked.
Although she was still very scared, after realizing that everyone was as scared as she was, Diya was not so nervous anymore, and the voices in her head gradually quieted down - in fact, the sisters were not very panicked, only the Black Butler who always thought of the worst was constantly exaggerating the fear, and the White Queen was trying to stop and persuade the Black Butler, but for the ignorant Diya, the quarrel between the two of them alone was enough to cause harm.
For human beings, a social animal, nothing can bring more comfort than increasing the number of people like them.
"As expected..."
"Hmm?" Sonia looked at Ash who was mumbling to himself: "What are you talking about?"
"Look, I know how to comfort her, and you know how to make her feel at ease with us." Ash said seriously, "This shows that we must have been together for a long time, so even after losing our memories, we are still in tacit understanding physically."
"We are all wondering 'Why are we here?' But these are actually two questions, one is 'Appearing here', and the other is 'Why are we together?' The former has not yet been answered, but the answer to the latter may be on the verge of being revealed——"
"Because we have a close relationship, we appear together. I don't know your personalities, but according to my current thinking, if I knew that I would enter a place where I would lose my memory, I would only go in with someone I completely trust."
Diya and Sonia thought about it carefully and felt that what Ash said made sense.
Sonia said: "If it were me, I would only be with the people closest to me."
Diya also nodded: "I will only come to a place like this with someone who can protect me."
Ash looked at Denzel, "What about you?"
Denzel was slightly startled. "Am I with you guys?"
"What else? Then why are you here? You must have thought that coming to this place with us was the most suitable choice, so you came in after us."
This logic was indeed impeccable. Denzel thought for a moment, "If it's someone I'm willing to sacrifice my life for, even if I lose my memory together with her... then she should be someone I'm willing to sacrifice my life for without hesitation."
"Okay!" Ash stood up and said, "I now completely understand what our relationship is!"
The others were stunned, "Really?"
"It's actually a very simple logical reasoning." Ash touched Diya's head: "You will only be with someone who can protect you, which means I am someone who can protect you, so - you are my sister!"
"And you," Ash looked at Sonia: "You only stay with the people closest to you, so - you are also my sister!"
"Finally, it's you." Ash looked at Denzel. "You think you will only go with someone you are willing to sacrifice your life for..."
"I'm your sister too?" Denzel asked.
"No," Ash said, "I think I should be your boss."
"Wait," Sonia raised her hand: "My closest person, besides my family, may also be my lover. Why..."
As she was speaking she suddenly realized something, her face turned red and she looked away.
"I have considered what you said, but don't you think it would be a weird combination if we were lovers and I brought my sister with me?" Ash said, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Ash looked at Diya: "Unless she is also my lover, this can also explain why we love each other so much."
Sonia's lips twitched: "Isn't it strange that you bring two lovers with you? You might as well say she is your daughter."
"No matter how hard I think about it, I don't have a daughter this old at my age..."
Denzel said, "The person I'm willing to sacrifice my life for may not be you, right?"
"But one of them is my lover or sister," Ash said, "and the other one is also my lover or sister. No matter who your boss is, I am your boss's boss... Wait, I know your true identity!"
"Think about it carefully. Whether you are with your sister or your lover, there is no reason to bring your subordinates along!"
"So, your true identity is——my lover!"
