Even the virtual realm is helping him?
Sonia looked at the empty laboratory, took a deep breath, and calmed the ripples in her heart.
Before entering the virtual world, she had prepared for the worst.
Although it stands to reason that the viewer should choose her no matter what, Sonia had already vaguely sensed that the viewer had psychological flaws when she was in the Sea of Knowledge.
"…I felt as light as a balloon, but there was only a thin string tying me to the ground."
He never felt like he belonged to this world.
His fearlessness of risk, his indifference to his own circumstances, and his thirst for affection all stem from his flaws.
Sonia is the luckiest one, because she appeared when Ash was most lonely, became the person he needed most, and tied the balloon of him to the string; but she is not lucky enough, because she is not with Ash.
Not only did she want to feel Ash's body temperature, but Ash also craved her warmth.
The desire to survive that Ash had when facing danger was mostly due to his concern for Sword Princess. Even if it was just to meet her in the virtual world tonight, it was enough to be Ash's reason to live.
But she is not the destination that Ash can touch after all.
Sonia is confident that if she could meet the viewer in real life, she would be able to tame him completely. If he dares to look at the opposite sex, Sonia will be considered the loser.
But the problem is that there is a country distance between them.
Sonia's life is indeed more than just love. She also has a mother, a career, aspirations, and even a country.
But Ash had none of those things, he had nothing.
He had never even stayed in the same place for more than a month, and he didn't even have a physical 'home'.
If Sonia can't give him what he desires, even if he won't actively pursue her, how can he reject someone else's sincerity?
Sonia knew that he was trying to find a way to go to the Starry Kingdom, and she was also looking for a way to go to Senluo. However, traveling between countries was extremely difficult. Even if they became legends and found a way to meet each other in the future, before that, Ash might have been eaten up by the bad woman in reality.
The village girl had always thought that she could endure until the day she met Ash, so she tentatively shared Ash with the witch.
Because she knew she had to maintain the team atmosphere, and because she didn't want to cause trouble for Ash.
Isn't it just sharing lovers? Sonia wanted to marry into a wealthy family in the beginning, and she was ready to have dozens of lovers by her side. Could it be that she couldn't even tolerate a witch?
She really couldn't bear it.
When you really like someone, you wish he only sees you.
And it's not just the witch, in fact, the viewer has been acting a little strange these days. Even if he hasn't said it, Sonia can sense the remorse in his heart.
Sometimes she hated herself for being so sensitive.
But even this kind of thing that she didn't know about and didn't happen in front of her could make her sad for a long time. It was at this time that Sonia began to revisit the films and dramas of Deda Rose to seek answers.
Because she knew she couldn't go on like this.
Her dignity would not allow her to be dragged into the mud by emotional entanglements and waste her time and energy on this torture that would only make her more miserable.
When she watched movies and TV series, one of the character types she hated the most was the one who was hurt by the person they liked, but still clinged to the person and refused to get away, hoping that the other person would regret and come back. They regarded their own pain as a noble sacrifice and their broken relationship as a great love...The funniest thing was that some movies and TV series praised this kind of relationship in a positive way, as if it was really a passionate love.
However, when Sonia watched it, she just felt that the people in it were so stupid and weak.
So when it's her turn, she definitely won't be the heroine in a bitter love story.
For this reason, she deliberately watched so many films and dramas of Deda Rose, just to use the image of Deda Rose to inspire herself. The independent and confident heroine of "The Last Night of the Abyss", the kindness and determination of the heroine of "Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix", the resolute pride of the heroine of "The Upside Down World"... these are the heroines she wants to be.
so……
Sonia gently stroked the hilt of the sword and murmured, "You can cry secretly under the quilt, drink, or even try smoking... but you can't be too soft-hearted towards him."
She took a deep breath, and at this moment the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and the 'witch' walked in.
The 'witch' immediately showed her colorful collection. Seeing that Sonia didn't react, she smiled bitterly and said, "Whether I'm real or fake, do you want to kill me?"
Sonia shook her head. "I just don't think there would be such an obvious mistake in the curse affix. The fake one must have copied even the collection."
"And the fake ones will pretend to be real. That is, fake people will say things that real people won't say. Sometimes, encountering a fake person may not be a bad thing."
"That's right." The 'Witch' nodded and said, "Whether you are true or false, I want to tell you... I give up."
Sonia: “Oh?”
"I just like him and never thought of hurting him." The 'Witch' slowly walked over and said, "I thought you would always tolerate me and that he would enjoy the sweet pain of being liked by two beautiful girls... I never thought that he would actually suffer because of this."
"And I know that you are the most important person in his heart."
"Since he can't make a choice, let me do it." The 'witch' showed a relieved expression on her face: "If you withdraw, he will definitely continue to suffer because of you; if I withdraw... you will definitely make him stop worrying about me."
Sonia was slightly distracted.
If the witch quits on her own initiative, can she continue to persevere? Perhaps, after all, Ash doesn't have any close opposite sex around him in reality, and things like An Nan and Yin Deng don't happen often.
As long as the virtual world is a paradise for her and the viewers, as long as the viewers only see Jian Ji...
She was silent for a moment, then asked, "Witch, will you ever fall in love again in the future?"
"Maybe?" The 'Witch' said casually, "It's not possible that every time I give my heart to someone, I will be betrayed, right?"
clang!
Even though the Witch immediately raised the Sanctuary to perform a miracle, her head was still separated from her body. Sonia put away her Hidden Hand Secret Blade and left the laboratory expressionlessly.
"Although I don't know why the witch likes the viewer..." she said, "But I can still tell that she doesn't love him wholeheartedly."
"How could a witch give up?"
…
After exposing a fake "Weiser" through communication, Sonia walked to a new laboratory and saw a pensive "Ash" when she opened the door.
Without any hesitation, she drew her sword and approached the other party.
'Ash' seemed to realize something and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry."
"It's not an apology until you feel as sad as I do."
Sonia retracted her hidden hand and walked past Ash who was chopped into foam without even looking at him.
"He knows that I hate this kind of verbal apology the most." The red-haired swordswoman said softly, "An apology made up of only words is just a weapon to force the other party to forgive."
…
A moment later, before Sonia walked out of the laboratory, she saw 'Ash' push the door open.
"Show me the collection of equipment I gave you!" Ash said immediately.
Sonia thought about it and showed her "Ice Crystal Slippers", but Ash didn't seem to be very reassured, but still said: "Okay, it's your turn to verify me."
"Even if you are fake," Sonia asked, "what are you going to say to deceive me?"
Ash seemed a little confused and helpless. He sighed softly and said, "Well, whether you are real or fake, I want to tell you..."
"Let me go," he said. "You'll find someone better than me."
Sonia shook her head, smiled, and swung down the Hidden Hand Secret Blade.
"But I will never be so nice to anyone again."
She passed the phantom that had turned into foam and whispered softly, "How could he be willing to let me go?"
…
The Claw Club President walked through several rooms and saw three more 'Ashes', but she killed them all as soon as she saw them, without even bothering to ask any questions.
Until she pushed open the door and entered a laboratory, and saw another Ash walking in from another door.
After she looked at him, the other party walked over quickly without any hesitation. Without raising the sanctuary or any defense, he reached out and hugged the red-haired swordsman tightly.
"I thought the curse affix had directly separated us into different bubbles, otherwise how could I have been looking for you and couldn't find you." He let go of her hand and smiled awkwardly: "Although I know that with your strength, there shouldn't be any problem, but I still want to ask... Did you not kill them by mistake?"
Sonia looked at him calmly, and finally retracted the hidden hand she had summoned with her right hand: "It's hard to say."
Ash scratched his head: "So should we go find the witch and Weisser first? Or..." His face darkened, but his voice remained brisk: "... continue the conversation we interrupted before?"
The red-haired swordswoman looked at him, her hand on the hilt of her sword, and asked, "When you rushed over just now, weren't you afraid that I would kill you by mistake?"
Ash blinked: "If I say that I am willing to die under your sword, will it seem special...?"
"Yes," Sonia nodded, "Even I wouldn't be so pretentious."
Ash tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "I didn't really think too much about it just now. It was just that when I recognized you, my body moved subconsciously, and when I came to my senses, I was already hugging you. If I must say it..."
"Just as I can recognize a true Swordswoman," he said, "you can surely recognize a true Watcher."
Sonia stared at him blankly, then shook her head, with an expression that said 'you are hopeless'. Then she leaned back slightly, and like a slingshot, her whole red-haired head suddenly slammed into his arms.
"You, you, ah..." Sonia buried her head in his arms and began to gently hit his abdomen with her small hands. However, the sword girl's attack speed became faster and faster. In the end, her hands had turned into afterimages, and Ash's soul began to tremble.
Ash didn't dare to raise the sanctuary now, and could only smile bitterly as he was beaten. He had to be thankful that this was a virtual world, where the soul had no sense of pain. If it were in reality, his duodenum and twenty-four ribs would have been broken.
After Sonia had vented her anger, she raised her head, hugged Ash's neck, and said, "Promise me three things."
"Yeah, I'm listening."
"Can't you just agree first?" The head of the Claw Club complained, "Normal people here would rush to agree, right?"
Ash blinked, "I have psychological problems. I have a certificate from a psychic."
Sonia sighed helplessly and said, "First of all, before you come to see me in the Starry Kingdom, you are not allowed to stop, you are not allowed to get married, and you must always find a way to the stars!"
Ash nodded, "Okay, that's what I was planning."
Sonia raised her eyebrows: "Does that mean you've been coveting me for a long time?"
Seeing Ash blushing and not daring to answer this question, Sonia finally felt that she had regained the upper hand. That's right, she is the legendary magician of the love faction!
"The second thing," she said, "before you come to meet me among the stars—"
"You are not allowed to fall in love."
