This strange scene in front of me should have been surprising and panicked.

However, Luga Krausel only calmed down after that moment of panic and looked at the strange teenager in front of him.

After a long time, he replied in a low voice, "I see...... You're the master of that strange power, aren't you? ”

"Very smart, mortal. You're guessing in the right direction, but that's not technically my power...... At least not yet. ”

"Oh? It seems to be some kind of strange existence. The existence that controlled the young man's will in front of him, and his name for himself attracted Lu Jia's attention, "Since I am called a mortal, then compared to you, you must be a god or a demon-like existence?" ”

"If that's what you think, that's fine."

"Hmph...... I'll get straight to the point and ask, ...... What exactly do you want? ”

"It's funny, don't you ask me questions about my origin and existence?"

"Will you answer?"

"If you ask, you will." The voice was faint, "Because I judge that this will be very useful information for you and for me." ”

Fell silent.

It was Lujia who broke the silence, and he suddenly burst out laughing in the room: "Interesting, funny! I had thought that although my friendship with my friends was deep, and it was quite good to meet my sworn enemies with military force, I never thought that I would be able to talk to non-human beings. ”

"Really...... If you have this attitude, it's much easier to say. ”

———————————————————————————————————————

"How?"

"That's really ...... Strange......" Lujia muttered to herself, "although you said that there are some details that I can't tell, I can probably guess." ”

"Oh?" Bernardo was curious, "Guess what." ”

"Heh, you're definitely not from this world." Lujia's tone was affirmative.

"Why?" Bernardo was puzzled, "Why, can't I be a character who existed before the Great Collapse?" ”

"Because of that force." Luga explained, "That power is imbued with an aura that doesn't belong to Semuria...... Others may not know, but I can clearly perceive it. It's like an animal that can accurately identify the same scent. ”

"It seems, as he said, that I underestimated you a little...... "Bernardo sighed, "and in every sense, it seems, you need to be re-evaluated...... But in this way, I'm afraid I can tell you about that matter. ”

"What about it?" Lujia's curiosity is aroused, and this unknown secret is not always available.

"Alas...... Let me tell you directly, what I want to do most at the moment is to get out of the mortal body and have my own body. ”

"But?"

"But unfortunately, I can't. It's not a question of ability, it's ...... It is locked in advance, and it is locked...... I can't change that. So no matter what, the most I can do is talk to the outside world through Helika's body. ”

"So?"

"I think you can tell that this kid is currently a ...... What is the obvious problem with those who chase martial arts? ”

“…… Of course. Lu Jia also felt a little sorry, he never thought that this kind of problem would appear in a warrior, "fear and rejection of unknown forces...... Actually reaching this point, it really doesn't look like a person walking on the martial arts...... Whether it's the right way or the evil way. Because people who have experienced those hard training and actual combat rarely retain that delicate and sensitive heart...... This kid is a talent, but he is actually more suitable to be a talent who does not go to the battlefield. ”

"That's right. It's just that if he really chooses that kind of life, I can ...... There is no hope. ”

“…… So, do you want ......? ”

"Yes. I'm going to give him a bit of a dangerous story, but it will help him get out of his current tangled personality. Bernardo said in a deep voice, although he couldn't see his expression, Lujia could already make up the image of a young man with a hideous face.

“…… It is not a good thing to promote the growth of seedlings. Lujia said warningly. Ignoring the differences between people, forcibly putting people in a template and developing in a fixed direction will only develop into four dissimilarities in the end, "You shouldn't be unclear about this matter." ”

"I know this very well, but you haven't figured out the real heart of this kid...... In other words, if you can recognize you within a day of meeting, you will see a ghost. ”

"Oh?" Hearing such a reply, Lu Jia's heart vaguely rose with some expectations.

"The passion and courage that slumbered deep in his heart were suppressed by the part of the power that belonged to me, and there was no chance to release it. If it weren't for my existence, this kid would have been walking on what you call martial arts in a healthy way. ”

“…… However, you should also understand that your intervention is equivalent to an external force, and the change of human character by external force is rapid and ruthless. Even if he is really not born to be a sensitive and fragile person, as you say...... But now that you've taken over his body and dominated his mind until now, do you really think he'll be able to get back to what he should be? ”

"I admit it. Human personality is like a spring, once stretched beyond the limit, there is no possibility of recovery. However, for now, I don't think this kid has been distorted to that extent, in other words, there is still a chance to change. Of course, this requires your help. ”

"My help?" Lujia was a little puzzled.

"That's right, yours. I think you are so interested in Heliga, I am afraid that you also have your own selfish motives in it. ”

Lu Jia trembled: "...... Indeed, I do not deny it. It's just that I've lost some of my faith now. ”

"Well, then, I'll help you regain that confidence." Bernardo's voice was full of joy, "You just have to do what I say......"

——————————————————————————————————————

Opening her eyes again, Heliga found herself in the stillness of darkness again.

Arriving in the deep darkness for the second time, Heliga no longer had the panic of the last time, but experienced some calming from it.

My subjective memory stays at the moment when I was shot away. After that, vaguely, Helriga felt his body being manipulated by an unknown force again. I don't know who wins and who loses in the end.

This endless loop...... It's really insurmountable. The more I wanted to become stronger, the more I fell into Bernardo's power. Like the shipwrecked who struggles in a storm and does not want to be swept away by the whirlpool under the sea, all efforts seem to be in vain.

Is this fate? Is your whole life going to be exhausted in such entanglements?

Master Yarsid, Teacher Yun, King of the Hunters...... Is there anything similar in their lives that makes people feel tangled and sad, and can be called heart-to-heart? How did they cross it? What do you have to do to become a strong man who truly controls yourself and controls your own destiny like them?

"You're still thinking about it, and that's good." A familiar voice sounded in the background.

"Bernardo." Heliga replied calmly, turning his head to look at the tall boy in front of him, looking at himself with a smile on his face.
