Kneeling on the cold ground, Alice was completely immersed in the subconscious space of her memory, and it was impossible to hear Yang Bai's shouts.

In front of me, the scenes of the past seemed to be repeated, and those who died because of themselves seemed to curse themselves with bright red eyes.

She was filled with grief and anger, but there was nothing she could do.

In her mind, the evil whispers mingled again and again, cursing her incompetence and distorting her thoughts.

"Don't ...... Stop torturing me! Don't bring any more pain to the world! Tears welled up in her eyes, and Alice tried to escape, but there was no way to escape.

"Stupid servant, Alice...... "The voice of the nightmarish woman Alice grew clear.

"You've failed too much...... But ......" The voice repeated again and again, but it seemed to be said only once, making it more and more difficult for Alice to control herself, and she began to gradually time and space.

"For the sake of your dedication to the Demon Realm for a thousand years...... I can continue to give to you...... Gift......" The voice was full of evil thoughts and bewitchment, and it made Alice's eyes gradually lose their lustre.

"Nope! I'm going to make it all over! Suddenly struggling, Alice's face was full of horror and despair, but with a hint of determination.

"I'll let it all end......"

"...... that can be ended"

In the endless darkness, looking at the black tentacles in front of her, Alice used her magic to form a short dagger.

……

"Xilan, I'll leave it to you!" With a low snort at Xilan, Yang Bai looked at Alice.

She had stood up now, but her movements were as stiff and unusual as those of her marionettes, and now her body was instinctively resisting any approach.

"I won't last long!" Looking at Alice with a complicated expression, Xilan didn't dare to hold it up, and said a fact that he didn't want to admit.

"It won't take long!" Leaving a word, Yang Bai suddenly closed his eyes, and then disappeared into the endless darkness, not knowing where he went.

"Young people nowadays are so impolite!" With a loud roar, Xilan crossed the single-plank bridge and fought Alice's body with all his might.

Lightning strikes, fire, icicles, and a large number of marionettes followed, making Xi Lan, the sword saint, break out in a cold sweat.

"Isn't it good to be a salted fish? Why do you want to fight for your life for a pot of wine, Xilan, you idiot! Scolding herself, Xilan did her best to deal with Alice's attack, and she had to be careful not to hurt her body, every second was extremely thrilling.

If this continues, Xilan doesn't know how long he can last, he can only hope that Yang Bai will solve the problem quickly.

Otherwise, he will die in this place!

……

In the dark subconscious space, Alice bit her lip and looked at the dagger in her hand without hesitation.

With this dagger, she could destroy her consciousness, kill her spirit, and kill her body.

Although she didn't know what she could change when she died, at least she didn't want to go on anymore.

"I'm sorry......" silently apologizes, Alice is apologizing to those who have suffered from her, those who have lost because of her, and the time to come.

She always thought that as long as she lived, it was possible to change something.

But maybe she is wrong, as a marionette who can't control herself, her existence will only bring endless pain and suffering.

Holding a dagger and stabbing it into his heart with all his might, it was almost ...... It's almost over......

"Do you think you can escape your fate? Alice...... My stupid puppet ......" whispered clearer, larger, and more convoluted than ever.

The intense pain made Alice pause in her hand.

At the same time, the tentacles full of evil and twist finally approached her, climbing onto her body, intent on burrowing into her body.

"No...... No...... No!! Deep down, Alice cried and wailed, but she couldn't change it all.

“#￥@%#@！” The incomprehensible whispers grew clearer and more complex, enveloping, surrounding......

Alice's consciousness began to blur, and she was about to lose herself again, to become that puppet, that practitioner in the dark.

She is about to fall into the abyss of pain that is repeated again and again......

"Herder !!" In his ears, a suppressed roar suddenly sounded.

A crisp cracking sound came, and Alice's vague consciousness instantly woke up, and at this moment, she saw the light she hadn't seen for a long time.

Standing beside her was a familiar and unfamiliar face, who had cut through the darkness that had eaten away at her.

"How are you feeling?" The warm palm was placed on Alice's cold shoulder, and Yang Bai asked with a complicated expression.

Tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes, and Alice instinctively grabbed Yang Bai's palm with both hands, repeating in her mouth......

"Don't be against it! Don't go to the Demon Realm! All that awaits you there is death! ”

Showing a calm smile at her, Yang Bai did not respond, but turned his head to meet the white skeleton covered with carved patterns.

He could see the tear streak on the skeleton's left cheekbone, which represented identity.

"Self-righteous fellow, interferer outside of fate, do you think everything you do is right?!"

"You are trying to change your fate and change the rules! But in the end, it will only lead to destruction! ”

"Poor, lowly, weak, incompetent wretched! You're trying to make my enemies, but that's just wishful thinking! ”

"That doll is right, waiting for you...... Only death!! ”

The blade of the sword was unsheathed, the sword was swung, and the sheath was returned in one go, and Yang Bai instantly cut the skeleton composed of the mind body into two parts, and then showed a contemptuous smile at it.

"What the future holds, how do you know if you don't try it?"

"If you can kill me, I'll be there for you."

"But I'm sure you'll die before me."

If you talk ruthlessly, it seems that no one will be the same, Yang Bai is not scared.

"Ignorant fellow...... Everything you will do for yourself...... Pay the price......"

The skeleton, which represented the combination of Herder's minds, completely dissipated, leaving only this warning word.

"You ......" looked at Yang Bai in confusion, Alice still couldn't stop the trembling of her body, and under the mixture of various emotions, she couldn't say even a complete sentence.

"If you still want to kill yourself, I won't stop you, but in my opinion, it is better to live than to die a hundred times, so that there is a way to truly atone for your sins." Looking into her eyes, Yang Bai said seriously.

The next moment, the short dagger condensed by Alice's magic finally completely dissipated as the tears that slipped down her......
