"If Leonid just created a secret puppet to express his grief for Natalia, it would be simple, but I remember that he mentioned in the warehouse that the devil named Constantine helped him recall Natalia's soul, and he didn't know how to integrate Natalia's soul into the body of a secret puppet, so think about it, is the secret puppet lady I just met a resurrected Natalia? It's a bit of a blur. Roland smiled wryly.

"It's not difficult to seal the human soul in the body of the puppet, and it is not difficult to do it at the level of Leonid's technique, but the puppet created in this way cannot fully retain the memories of his life, and even loses most of the emotions that belong to humans, Leonid is just deceiving himself by doing this, and after so many years, he still can't accept the cruel reality of killing his lover with his own hands......" Matvey felt heartache for his son's paranoia.

Roland turned to face the unfortunate old man, his face was extremely solemn: "Mr. Matvey, we shouldn't have meddled in your household affairs, but Leonid and his secret companion kidnapped Isabel, so we can't stand idly by, things have deteriorated to this point, it is no longer just the grudge between you and Leonid father and son, I hope you can explain the ins and outs of Leonid being tempted by the devil until he ran away from home, so that we can properly consider how to deal with it next." ”

"Your Highness Roland, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really hard to say, I am a failed father, I am willing to give my life to atone for Leonid, I just hope that all this disaster has not happened......" Matvey's body trembled, and the unspeakable hidden secret in his heart made him extremely painful.

"If you keep your secret in your heart, so that we can't know what the devil is hiding behind Leonid is, and we don't know how to deal with it, then how can you rescue poor Isabel?" Nikita was a straightforward girl, and her words were sharper and harsher than Roland's, "I have no right to interfere in the father-son feud between you and Leonid, but Isabel is innocent, if she encounters an accident because of the conflict between your father and son, can you have a clear conscience!" The Lange family has lost a daughter, and you can't bear to see Isabel killed by your son like her sister! Could it be that you, a father, only care about your own son, but don't care about the life or death of other people's children?! ”

Miss Mage's stormy rebuke really made Matvey sober up, and said with a face full of shame: "Miss Nikita, Your Highness Roland, I really lived a few years in vain......"

"Parents are always unable to look rationally at their children, Mr. Matvey, you don't have to blame yourself too much, we must stop Leonid from continuing to degenerate while it is still too late." Roland comforted the old man and sounded the alarm for him.

Matvey nodded, his face full of bitterness: "Leonid, this kid has been smart since he was a child, withdrawn and arrogant, very unsociable, after Natalia's death, including me, everyone in the town accused him of killing the unfortunate girl, the pressure of the outside world and the pain in his heart made him even more extreme, perhaps because he watched his lover die and felt his own incompetence, this kid locked himself in a dark basement, frantically studied mechanics, and longed to create a constructor that could perfectly integrate with the human body......"

Hearing this, Roland's heart couldn't help but move, thinking of Leonid's Mithril body. He was once a normal human youth, but now he has become a "mechanical man" with intelligence, emotion, and memory, which shows that his crazy research after Natalia's death has been successful, and he is worthy of the name of genius, but what is the use of his lover who has been sleeping for a long time?

"One day six years ago, Leonid went to visit Natalia's grave early in the morning and did not return until the next evening, in a trance, pale, as if he had bumpered with a ghost," Matvey continued to recount his son's transformation, "When I saw him like that, I thought he was sick and told him to rest, but Leonid asked me if I believed that there was a devil in this world. ”

"Of course the devil is there, and he is always secretly looking for those who are in spiritual crisis, luring them to fall." Nikita said lightly.

"It's a pity that I was so focused on modifying the magic guide locomotive that I didn't pay much attention to my son's abnormal mental state, but just reprimanded him not to think nonsense, and now I regret it, if I had cared more about him at that time, he would not have been tempted by the devil named Constantine, and finally went astray." Matvey sighed remorsefully, and continued, "The next morning, there was a terrible news in the town, that Natalia's grave had been dug up, and the body was missing, and at that time people suspected that Leonid had done it, after all, he was the only one who went to the cemetery every day to sweep Natalia's grave, and people had reason to suspect that he missed his lover so much that he went insane, and dug up Natalia's body and hid it beside him......"

"Stealing corpses is a felony, Leonid wouldn't take such a crazy act seriously, would he?" Roland asked in surprise.

"At that time, I was also suspicious, and more than once I asked Leonid if he had done it, and he always denied it impatiently, but there was a dodge in his eyes, which deepened my suspicions." Matvey took a deep breath, his wrinkled face twitched, "It was also during this period that Leonid's behavior became more and more suspicious, often talking to himself alone, as if he was talking to someone, but when I approached and tried to listen to what he said, he always closed his mouth vigilantly and did not reveal a word to me, as a father, watching my son's estrangement from himself deepen, I was both bitter and angry, and I also said a lot of excessive things to Leonid, so that our father-son relationship was irretrievably broken." ”

"If you had communicated well at the time, Leonid probably wouldn't have come this far." Roland said regretfully.

However, the word "communication" is simple to say, but it is really difficult to do, especially between the two generations of father and son, the invisible generation gap makes it more difficult for the two men who are closest to the blood to communicate frankly, this is the dilemma that all fathers in the world have to face, and Matvey regrets to choose the most brutal solution.

"Leonid completely inherited my withdrawn personality and self-righteousness, the two of us could not communicate well at all, every attempt to talk always ended in a quarrel, and the more rebellious Leonid became, the more I wanted to force him to bow his head and obey, and the more rough the methods I used, when I found out that he had rented an empty house on the outskirts of the town, and seemed to be engaged in some kind of secret research, and assumed that he had stolen Natalia's body and hid it in that room, trying to perform some kind of forbidden magic ritual to resurrect his lover......" Matvey muttered in a low voice, There was a hint of gloom in his voice.
