In Taria's subconscious, there is always the notion of "don't be controlled" that constantly influences her judgment. Although it was not a voice that always echoed in her head, it always made her maintain a certain suspicion of anything.

From time to time, she would have strange suspicions about the villagers of Berg, to Mage Ethan, to the other assistants in the Magic Tower, and even to Nephie, whom she had always trusted.

And today, the fear of being controlled by her body and the flood of information made Taria finally burst into emotions and began to doubt everything - the thought of "doubting the whole world" appeared so directly that she didn't realize that something was wrong.

But when Tarya turned her gaze around, the real world was very different from the fake "NPCs" in the half-plane...

She heard ordinary residents discussing the price of eggs and vegetables, and she heard believers singing the praises of the gospel they heard in the square today, praising the new priests. The carriage passing by him was kicking and stomping, and the coachman looked anxious, as if he was rushing to send the nobles in the carriage to a drinking party.

There is still a little water left over from the last rain, new drains are hidden underground, and the streets are not visible from the dirt that is common in other cities – not far away, people in "municipal" uniforms are pushing garbage trucks to collect garbage.

Nefi pointed to the glass window to inquire about the situation, and the man who answered frowned, glancing at Tariya from time to time. And she has now grown accustomed to this: because she and Nefi are so good-looking, when they walk down the street, they always become the focus of many people's attention, and often cause some guys to be overly expressive.

Taria couldn't help but reach out and touch the glass in front of her, the exhibits in the window had been replaced by delicately shaped robes, the spars inlaid on them and the magic patterns painted on them were full of luxury, and at the same time, the fluctuations were amazing.

"Hello this young lady, if you like it, you can come into the store and try it on. ”

The clerk standing at the door said politely, but his hand quietly pointed to the sign in the lower right corner, which read, "Do not touch the glass."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Tarya hurriedly withdrew her hand, perhaps because she was pretty, the clerk did not speak ill of her, just smiled a few times, raised her hand and gently wiped it with the towel in her hand.

The middle-aged man in front of Nai Fei on his side was spitting and continuing: "The situation was too critical at the beginning, if I hadn't called the police quickly..."

Listening to these words, Taria's breathing gradually subsided, and she looked up at the sky, the sun was sinking in the west, and the sky was red reflected by the setting sun. And after the passer-by finally left, she finally said up: "I should have thought too much." ”

After a pause, Tarya exhaled, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now. ”

This was to apologize for her suspicion of Nefi, and the latter's face, which had been tense, relaxed slightly, and whispered comfort: "I have read some information that says that if people are under great mental stress, they are prone to hysteria... For example, attacking people around you, serious self-harm tendencies or something, I think you may have been scared just now, so you were scared, right?"

Tariya nodded, visibly disappointed - she was now completely aware that she was "sick", and because of the constant doubts and onslaught of ideas, Taria had a sense of loss of faith and hope.

The demonic nature that had affected her in the first place had been completely changed in the space of a few months as her body adapted.

She is increasingly embodying the fragility of human beings, and has lost the ruthlessness of being Kazvera in the first place.

But Talia didn't know all this, and she only knew one thing now: she couldn't drag it out like this any longer.

"I'll go over now. ”

"What?"

"Nefi, thank you for taking care of you all the time... I thought, I think I'm probably in a serious situation right now. If I don't accept stricter supervision, I am afraid that if something happens to me at night while sleeping, I am afraid there is no room for regret. ”

Taria took a deep breath: "Three Mayo Avenue is over there, I'll go now." ”

She had apparently made the final decision, not giving Naffi a chance to say anything else at all: "My situation... Just tell Master Ethan the truth, I think he will understand my choice. I still have some things in my package, but I'm afraid I won't need them, so you can get them all when you go back... I don't know what the consequences of this will be, and I don't know what they're going to do to me, but it's better than me being controlled by a demon..."

Taria's words were almost equivalent to explaining what was going on, and Nephi heard the meaning of her words, and her expression changed slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you decide to go there, then let's see what they want to do, can the Magic Research Department still imprison a mage casually?"

But Talia didn't respond, she just looked at the bustling streets, recalled the few images in her memory, and suddenly said, "I just hope that no matter what happens, it won't hurt you." Thank you for taking care of you these days, I have caused you a lot of trouble with these things, if I can come out alive..."

She paused, pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nefi raising her hand: "It's going to be fine, you have to believe in yourself." ”

Taria nodded silently, then walked resolutely towards Mayo Street.

After finding the location of "No. 3", the two of them suddenly found that it was almost ten meters away from the magic tower, and the signboard of the "Holier City Office of the Magic Research Department of the Karen Kingdom" was erected on the side, with an abrupt style and a dull font, obviously revealing a sense of seriousness.

"Hello, can I help with anything?"

"I..."

Taria glanced back at Nefi, took a deep breath, turned around, and said to the staff member who greeted him at the door, "I may have been attacked by a demon, so I came here..."

She said it carefully, watching the other person's reaction. Sure enough, the other party's face immediately became solemn after hearing this, but he didn't react violently in a panic, but said softly: "Then please come in with us, we need to confirm the general situation and conduct screening." ”

"Okay. ”

Tariya agreed, and when she entered the house, she found herself in a huge circle beneath her feet.

"Stop, don't move. ”

There was a voice next to her, she raised her head, and it turned out to be a dragon with dragon horns in the seat, the other party glanced at herself, activated the magic circle, and when the dark purple light lit up, the dragon stood up with a serious face.
