When the door is closed, there is no more air circulation. The rich scent of roses soon filled the room again. Konai vaguely felt that the new scent had become even stranger.

More flowers wilted, I wonder if it was due to lack of water.

"Sorry, I haven't talked to anyone in a long time. Please give me a moment and let me sort out the language a little. ”

The doctor did not show any personal opinion about their choice. Perhaps in his eyes, the outcome is predestined.

Even so, he went through such a procedure.

"Well, first of all, I don't know what happened to you in the past, but no one has explained it to us. And I can only see the future. However, as a counselor, let me make a slight guess about you. ”

He smiled confidently, bearing the bewildering gazes of the crowd.

"First of all, I'm very, very, very disappointed with one of you. ”

It's confusing. The doctor lifted his arm and stretched out a slender finger, wandering among them.

Then, stay on Chonglin.

Huh?

Chonglin felt inexplicable, and he couldn't help but stretch out his finger to point at himself. The doctor nodded, affirming his doubts.

"You're a bad boy. ”

"I ...... What did I do?"

"It's not that you're doing anything," the doctor smiled as he raised his glass, "it's bad, you're doing nothing." ”

"What?"

He didn't understand.

A few people suddenly turned their heads to look at him. He felt uncomfortable being watched so closely.

"You're not only a bad boy, you're a stupid boy — but I don't hate it. After all, thanks to you, I find this game so much more interesting. ”

"...... the hell you have"

"Ah, let's put it this way. You can see what's going on in other people's minds, right? and through the flashback of a person's pre-death memory, you learn about the past of almost every Guardian. Well, you must have understood a truth. ”

Chonglin's gaze began to dodge.

In the midst of the doctor's pressing and every word, he did not dare to face him, and he even panicked at what he had not yet spoken.

"That is the fact that all Guardians were once human. ”

Chonglin's heart was clenched tightly by the invisible claws.

Although, what the doctor said is nothing new and shocking. What's more, according to Chonglin's explanation before, as well as the observation of the situation by other companions, they can guess something.

They were a little wary of Chonglin's ability, but because of their position, they chose trust and silence.

"So what?"

Jiang Shuo spoke. The expression of Gu Qiancheng beside him also showed that she had the same attitude.

"It doesn't matter. Then the question arises: unfortunately, you are a good person. Your morals prevent you from doing unethical things, so you don't want to hurt your guardians of humanity. So, while everyone knows about it, you still haven't spoken it out yourself after you found out about it.

Because, when you are cornered and have to arm yourself to fight back against your enemies, you have to rely on the hands of your companions. And when it comes to companions...... Or when your kind shows its fangs, you still want to be a good person. It's naïve, it's noble, it's ......."

He vaguely heard the doctor add, it was disgusting.

The heart is pinched and crushed.

I don't know what Shi Xue will think of herself.

How should this kind of behavior be evaluated? Cowards, fools, hypocrites ......?

His whole body relaxed, because he had no strength left.

What had been hidden in his heart was so suddenly revealed to the public, he felt extremely frightened and helpless.

It turns out that being watched by others is such a terrible thing.

"Oh, there's still some snow. Cutie, you're also interesting. ”

Hearing the name, Chonglin still tried to focus his attention.

Shi Xue listened a little foggy, and she looked around everyone in a daze, trying to capture some information that she could understand. But when she suddenly clicked on herself, she trembled and looked at the doctor with trepidation.

"The betrayal of a friend, the relationship with the opposite sex, you are clearly aware of it, but you choose to escape completely. You even force yourself not to care about all this, just to maintain the stability of the moment. It's cute, but it's also pathetic. ”

His voice was not loud, his tone was not strong, but every word was firm, and every word was full of power.

Shi Xue buried her head deeply.

Here it is again, every time. Liu Xili thought indignantly.

It is this kind of self-deception and evasion that she hates the most.

Self-righteously living in the fairy tale world of his own ideas, ignoring the feelings of others, forcibly pulling them in to play the role of his own creation, and going to be completely unaware, and even take it for granted. How great do you think you are?

Liu Xili wanted to say these words to her three years ago.

To this day, not even a word has been spoken, but at least the doctor's words made her feel as if she was angry.

The stray hair somewhat obscured her view, but she didn't tuck them behind her ears.

"Oh, Miss Liu's expression is really scary. You're really funny, don't think she's the only one running away, your face is full of words like this. ”

"What are you talking about......"

"Forcing yourself to fit in the daily life of an ordinary little girl all the time is tantamount to masochism – it seems that you have tolerated it until now. I guess you must be afraid that you will be different from everyone else, so you are trying to adapt to this life against your true will. It's so pitiful, you had a terrible childhood, and although your material life was relatively stable, your spirit has been wandering between normal and abnormal, leading to a fear of being seen as different. ”

"Never, never, never thought of it that way—never. Alien or something, life is just ordinary, isn't it?"

Liu Xili gritted her teeth and retorted eagerly.

"Why is there no subject in your words?"

The doctor suddenly asked rhetorically, and Liu Xili was slightly flustered.

"You know, when people lie, because they have not experienced the content of the lie, they will subconsciously avoid putting themselves in it? Hehe, but you're a very thoughtful person, and I appreciate you. ”

He placed the clean wine glass on the table, and under the awe-inspiring and fearful gazes of the crowd, he spoke slowly, without the slightest nervousness as when he had appeared before, as if he had changed people.

"You must also find it difficult to understand that a coward like your friend, a former friend, who lives in the middle of life, has successfully reached the final barrier. There are a lot of you besides you who think it's incredible, right?"

No one argues with this.

"Because there are variables that need to be controlled. ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shuo asked.

"Every time a visitor comes to the tower, it's not fixed. Everything is unknown about their identity, their abilities, their numbers. We refer to the sacrificers as variables, and the seven Guardians are the measure. What we are going to do is not to kill you - on the contrary, this is what you have received from your guides. ”

"And ......?"

"What we need to do is help the clock tower to make adjustments...... By the way, Chonglin, do you want to drink some wine to refresh yourself? I'm sorry to mention your name again. But I still have to say that if you know everything, you must have already discovered that we, the Guardians, are not strangers, but have a certain degree of connection. ”

“......”

Chonglin nodded, he didn't have the courage to speak.

"Let me see...... What other little cutie can talk about" The doctor's gaze and tone became more comfortable, "Mental ability, surnamed Tao?"

Young Master Tao raised his eyes keenly and stared straight at him.

"Yo, that's fierce," he laughed, "calm down." I know you, you madman...... It's a little like me, the type who can do anything for anyone. ”

Tao Zuoci did not respond positively, but looking at his face like that, it seemed that he acquiesced to the doctor's statement. It's just that I'm a little dissatisfied because I've been pointed out.

"And, well, ultramarine. I admire smart and affectionate people, like sir, and maybe I'm the one who wants you to go out the most. With a mind like yours, you can definitely do a great job. ”

What are the meanings of this sentence?

Ultramarine thought quickly. Regardless of whether his expectations are true or not, such a statement is as if it were ...... The end of no one survived was determined. In that case, if there is a chance to leave, it will naturally become the target of public criticism.

So...... What is the end......

Ms. Gu Qiancheng...... A man of integrity and weakness. I'm not interested in you. Jiang Shuo is a bit interesting, hidden extremists, I guessed correctly, right?"

Jiang Shuo raised his head sharply and looked at him vigilantly. That kind of momentum and action are much more sensitive than Tao Zuo's words.

"In the end, the same as me...... Destiny Ability. You are also a shrewd and reliable person who knows a lot of secrets and knows the cost of keeping secrets. Even so, he is still on the cusp of the storm, living like a tired egg. Courage is commendable, and you're looking for excitement, right? Childhood is quite lacking in love, right?"

Such direct remarks made Konai a little uncomfortable. But she has always been sensitive to smells, and she is attracted to the more subtle scents in the air.

The doctor continued.

"The World Tower likes visitors like you the most - oops, your reaction is funny, just like I thought. Although you don't know, Chonglin may have noticed that the so-called relationship connection is an important existence in the tower. ”

"Connection......" Koney snapped back to his senses, repeating the word, figuring out what it meant.

She finally realized that the slowly depressed flowers—they were withering.

At some point, the rich aroma was replaced by a pungent scent. The proportion of the latter is increasing over time.

That's the smell of rotting plants.

"Yes. For example, the spiritual guardian of the sixth layer, Lady Nebula. ”

The doctor paused, his expression darkening slightly.

"It's my love. ”
