Chapter 394: A Tragedy Buried in the Past

When the woman's soul appeared in front of him, Todd's mouth opened wide in surprise.

There is no other reason than that this woman and Richer look exactly the same.

Todd looked at the pale blue spirit, then at the sad Richel, and asked hesitantly, "Are you sisters?"

Rachel shook his head: "I'll explain about us later, first ......"

Rachel walked over to an exhausted Dildre and held his crumbling body.

"I'm so sleepy. Deirdre fell to the ground with exhaustion.

Rachel stroked her hair and said softly, "Thank you, Deirdre, go and rest." ”

Watching Deirdri's figure fade and eventually disappear into space, Todd turned his attention to Tristan.

Tristan's spirit remains in its pre-death form in appearance. The body that had been tortured and couldn't see a single piece of skin, which made Todd really unbearable to look at it.

Rachel walked up to Tristan, looked at him and asked, "Do you still know me?"

The latter nodded, and said in a hoarse voice that was almost dry, "You are Mia." ”

Richer smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The real Mia is dead, and what you see of me is nothing but a shell of her." ”

Tristan's spirit body shook violently, and the surrounding space was distorted to varying degrees.

Rachel turned her body sideways, revealing the female spirit behind her who looked like herself: "Tristan, take a closer look, this is the Mia you are talking about!"

Looking at the female spirit, Tristan gradually calmed down, he floated around the other party a few times, and asked hesitantly, "Mia?"

Mia's soul looked at Tristan and suddenly laughed, "Little carpenter?"

After a brief period of consternation, Tristan's body changes, his wounds disappear, his height gradually decreases, he gets younger and younger, and finally he becomes a shy teenager.

Mia's body also changed, and eventually she became a young aristocratic girl.

Tristan looked at Mia worriedly, and said uneasily: "Mia, I have always regretted it, regretting that I didn't have the courage to dig through that wall and get you out of that prison......"

The girl's immature voice sounded, but the words were full of vicissitudes: "I don't blame you, even if you took me away from there in the first place, the outside world is just a bigger cage...... But look at the present, now we are finally free. ”

The girl in a princess dress touched her ears and whispered, "My earrings ......"

Rachel walked between the two, took the teardrop-shaped earrings from her arms, and quietly handed them to Tristan.

The latter gave Richer a grateful look, took the earring, and looked at the girl with a somewhat uneasy gaze.

Mia smiled and closed her eyes, nodding lightly at Tristan.

Tristan took two steps forward and carefully placed the earrings on Mia's ears.

Mia opened her eyes, touched her earrings, and said to Tristan with a smile, "I also regret that I have never thanked you since I received this gift from you. ”

Mia stood on tiptoe and gave Tristan a light peck on the cheek, and the latter's expression suddenly became incomparably wonderful, joyful, surprised, satisfied, and moved......

Seeing the two spirits holding hands and snuggling quietly together, Rachel nodded lightly at Todd.

Todd sighed softly and waved his hand, opening a passage out of the soul space for Tristan and Mia's spirits.

A dazzling light shone down from the sky above the soul space, and the souls of Tristan and Mia rose higher and higher in the light, and finally disappeared into the space.

Seeing that the light in the sky was fading more and more, Richel, who had been calm, suddenly knelt on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried loudly.

The woman in front of her, who was in tears and kept muttering "I'm sorry", and Todd's impression of the strongman who remained elegant, wise, and even cunning at all times, were completely polar.

Todd sat down next to Richer and took a box of tissues from the table and handed it to him, he put aside his doubts for a moment and remained silent.

After a moment of crying, Rachel wiped her tears, walked straight to the freezer in the conference room, took out two cans of beer, opened one of them and took a big sip, walked over to Todd and threw the other can, and said, "Mia is my best friend in life." ”

Todd took the beer, opened it, and drank it slowly, listening quietly to Rachel's statement.

As soon as she was born, she was burdened with the aristocratic surname of Evanderlin, but her heterogeneous identity made her deeply disgusted by her parents. Fortunately, her parents still have a bit of humanity, and instead of throwing xenomorph babies into the furnace and burning them to death like other nobles, they secretly built a castle in the forest without an entrance and imprisoned Mia. ”

"For the first few years of Mia's life, she lived in an isolated world, with no relatives, no friends, only looking out the window at the trees and the sky, alone in loneliness waiting for death. ”

"Her spirit became more and more trance-like, and her temper became worse and worse, and she began to use her mental power to attack all living creatures indiscriminately, taking this behavior as revenge against the world, and this continued until his appearance......"

Todd swallowed a sip of beer and whispered, "Tristan?"

Richer nodded: "That little carpenter...... Found the castle in the forest, no matter how crazy and attacking Mia was, he still treated the painful girl with a tolerant and gentle heart. ”

A few more years later, the Presbyterians discovered the gifted girl and took her away on a thunderstorm night. Rachel put the beer beside her, as if reminiscing about the past: "Mia was later brought into the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church, and it was at that time that I met her. ”

Todd touched his forehead and interrupted Richel's words, "Wait a minute. You mean, you and Mia are not sisters, you met in the Presbyterian Church, so how can you be so similar in appearance and figure?"

Rachel let out a long breath: "What I'm going to say next is the answer. ”

"In the years that followed, Mia and I became friends with all the talk. We studied together, had fun together, and endured punishment from our teachers together. However, one day, a sudden disaster befell Mia's head. In order to strengthen the strength of the Legion of Discord, Eleanor the Elder proposed a plan for xenoprogenesis. At this point, Rachel turned to Todd and asked, "Do you remember that I told you that xenomorphs can be divided into two categories according to their genetic conditions?"

Todd nodded, "One type of ability can be inherited through your parents, such as your telekinesis, Karin's attachment, and Mary's memories...... The other category is abilities that cannot be copied genetically, such as regeneration, speed, weakness, and so on. ”

"Yes, in general, abilities that can be copied through genetics are more powerful, but they can't be infected and replicated by devouring flesh. Richer shuddered deeply as she said the next words: "So, Eleanor came up with an idea to exterminate humanity, she gathered those xenos with hereditary abilities and used forced birth to breed new powerful xenomorphs. ”

"Forced reproduction?!"

Richel's face was distorted with anger: "Drugged, coerced, and even raped, Eleanor did everything to get a genotype of xenogeneous offspring. ”

Todd gasped: "So Mia ......"

Rachel laughed miserably: "When this plan was just announced, I sneaked into Eleanor's study and found that Mia was also on the list of forced births, and I told her about it as soon as I could be punished......

Todd asked, "What happened later?"

"She committed suicide. Richel's body crumbled: "She hung a rope from the beam of the house with her mental power, and ended her life with it." ”

Todd's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

"Do you think that's all there is to it?"

Rachel's tears flowed again: "After Mia's death, Eleanor learned that I had leaked the news in order to punish me...... She pulled my soul out of my body and injected it into Mia's corpse. In the words of the demon, she wants me to 'appreciate' my friend's misfortune all the time......"

When Todd heard this, he suddenly remembered that Rachel had mentioned that she was infertile, and that the depression on the top of her head, and immediately understood everything, and he said to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "I see, Eleanor used the 'Soul Resurrection Worm' on you. ”
