Reincarnation Becomes a Girl Due to System
Chapter 165 To Stay Human
As for the reason why Lena took such a risk to save Lilia... Actually, he doesn't know either.
In his last life, until the end of his life, he did not know the truth of "The Realm of the Gods".
A lot of things don't make sense. People can only think of speculations that make sense for them to be able to explain the unknown, and in the end their speculation continues to be pushed to progress towards the worst by the game itself.
Lena did the same.
And among them, the problem that bothers him the most, and even most players is—.
- Are the copies made by the game just as data to increase their power?
- Or... is it really another world like Earth?
This is the biggest difference of thought between Lena and the players at this stage.
Currently, it was still in the early stages of "The Realm of the Gods", and the NPCs in the few copies still looked like NPCs in general, though, and their performance will not make players think too much - for a game, maybe few people will think about it.
Thus, the NPCs were still viewed from the same point of view.
And copies of this type have never appeared before, allowing players to think casually that they failed a mission due to misjudgment. This was supposed to be the first time they ended the copy with a deathless ending.
Due to the player's lack of experience in reviewing information, so few people could realize in the end, everything seemed normal.
After all, before this, all players had only played following the Mission command and only had to complete it.
If it's supposed, it's the same as - "I don't know who my identity is, I don't know where I am, I just know that I have to buy the ring, without knowing what the reason behind it is".
This is the basis of the game of most players, including the players who reach the top of the leaderboard.
And this time if without the System's instructions, Lena might not be able to see the truth of this copy either.
Although he had experienced similar occurrences in his previous life, he had not expected this type to appear in the game so quickly.
But... Now that they had met, facing the end of this copy, Lena's mind was different from the others.
Perhaps including Rion, the other people involved in the copy this time still considered these characters to be simple NPCs, who would disappear after they left the cellin.
But for Lena, she had trouble treating them as just NPCs.
He had experienced many copies in his past life. From the beginning, he also thought of non-player characters as mere NPCs, until later, those non-player characters became increasingly real and real - they also had their own feelings, their own dreams, and their own, and have their own lives
Their own stories.
They look like real people.
In this environment, gradually, his mind changed.
Even now he could not be sure that these copies were not ordinary copies, and he could no longer treat these people as mere NPCs.
No matter he called out to have too good a heart, or he was naive, he simply did not want to leave much of a wound in this copy, even if it was just a short visit in another world, he said, but as long as a better end can be achieved, there is no need to be too stingy to do it.
To remain human, you must always be kind.
He was not a hero, so he could not tell whether this witch should die, but he felt that if the witch died, then the real Lilia would also be destroyed.
He had exchanged bodies with the witch, which meant that he had lost his true identity, no matter what happened to the future. Whether he would inherit the Witch Castle or leave here alone with a new identity, all of that was not a good choice for a simple girl.
So as long as he could make both of them recover completely, the witch should have agreed to turn her body back, right?
After waiting for a while, the witch slowly woke up.
“Lena is the one who saved you.” Rion's tone wasn't very good.
The witch then looked at Lena, "You saved me? You wanted to kill me before, why did you save me now?"
"I want you to trade your body back." Lena pulled Lilia, who had recovered completely, "Your body has returned to normal, and you can now use your own body to leave here to see the outside world."
The witch stopped for a moment.
“So, is there any way to get her body back?” Lena asked gently.
The witch paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, she has inherited my magician power, and she can swap our bodies back."
When Lilia heard those words, she instantly became excited, "What should I do?!"
“Come back to the castle, my magic circle has not been destroyed.” The witch said lightly.
When she heard the word to the castle, Lilia had some resistance on her face. He did not want to go back to that place again, it was a nightmare in his life.
Seeing his fear, the witch was a little confused, "What are you worried about? You are the owner of that castle, and the castle will not hurt us. And didn't you try to make the castle kill me before. I thought you had mastered it."
“I don't!” Lilia immediately replied, “I just want to stop you from leaving! If my father sees you! He will definitely see that you are not me! He will be very sad then!”
The witch did not speak anymore.
Lena sighed and said softly, "Go back to the castle. As long as your body can return, the problem will be over."
But Rion suddenly pulled him back, "Wait, what if he's going to kill him after his body returns?"
He still could not believe that the witch was a good person.
‘Although it doesn't matter if they die or not, but if Lilia dies, won't their efforts be in vain?’
"I don't need to do this," the witch shook her head, "I don't want to hurt someone who has no ill intentions towards me."
"Why did the castle attack us before?"
"The castle was out of my control at the time."
Lena suddenly asked, "So, why did you build this castle?"
Hearing this, the witch fell silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "Because I want to live."
"Living?"
“I have a very strange power since I was born. The villagers call me a witch. They were afraid of me and wanted to kill me. I ran away from the village and built a castle.”
“As long as the villagers break down and want to kill me, the castle will help me kill them. But I was seriously injured before I could escape, and I couldn't heal myself, so I could only stay in the castle and wait to die slowly."
After a pause, the witch looked at Lilia and added, "It has been a long time since no one has entered the castle. You are the first person who has no ill intentions towards me after entering the castle."
Lena frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is the world outside the castle so evil to witches?"
"No," Lilia shook her head in confusion, "I only heard a legend from my father that there was a witch castle in the depths of the forest, but no one had ever found it, and I came here because I got lost by accident.…”
"Legend?" Rion raised his eyebrows and looked at the witch, "So, how long have you been living here?"
"Eight hundred and seventy-one years."
