Chapter 9: Another Face

"Yes, you're really guilty. Behind Pannis, heavy footsteps were heard, and a huge body blocked the rising sun from behind, and a huge shadow enveloped Pannis's entire body. Although the shadow is huge and terrifying, the voice has an endless charm that makes people can't help but indulge in it: "Respected and beloved hero, perfect leader like a god, a magic swordsman who has not been heard from since the end of the scourge of the dead, Mr. Kyle Wood." ”

"Phew, you're still recognized, Freya. Pannis still knelt down on one knee in front of the tomb, gently wiping the tomb and tombstone with his hands, brushing away the dust on them, as gentle as helping his former little sister pluck the fallen leaves that fell to her hair: "Actually, I also had a hunch that among the few of you, the first person to discover my identity must be you." ”

"Heh, as Odin's daughter, a disciple of Teacher Christo, I am always by the side of these two people who know your identity, if we don't intersect, it's fine, once we have an intersection like this......" Freya showed a mature smile that she had never had before: "If I didn't have doubts and guesses, I should really doubt my intelligence." ”

"So today you finally found a chance to confirm?" Pannis turned to the back of the tombstone and began to wipe the back part, "And when I went out early in the morning, you quietly followed me not far behind, and followed all the way here." ”

"You didn't stop me. Freya tilted her head and smiled innocently: "You know that I am behind you, why don't you get rid of me, with your ability, it should be easy to do this." ”

"What's the point of getting rid of you?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "since you have developed suspicions, then if you continue to get along like this, one day you will confirm your thoughts, it is only the difference between time and time, in that case, why should I do those meaningless things? Besides, it will not matter if you know, and you will not go and talk nonsense with Catherine, so why should I worry?"

"Why are you so confident, why can you be sure that I won't talk about this nonsense?" Freya stared at her big beautiful eyes and looked surprised, and said: "Woman, you are the carrier of rumors, you are the sworn enemy of **, woman, how many secrets have been leaked because of you, so, my brother, never trust a woman to keep a secret for you, no matter how much this woman loves you." ”

"Charlotte the One-Horned, Act VII, Verse 2, Nice Reading. Pannis smiled and shook his head, "But I'm not worried at all, because you're not only a woman, but you're a smart woman, and you know in your heart what you can and can't do, and besides, you have secrets of your own, don't you?"

"What secrets do I have. Freya's chubby face froze, and she looked away and said, "Well, how do you know?"

"The innocent Freya, who loves poetry and literature, only knows how to immerse herself in the world of words, and knows everything about the world like a blank sheet of paper. Longing for love, but innocent like a child, Freya. Pannis stopped what he was doing, looked up at Freya and chuckled, "Does such a woman really exist? Or even did she ever exist in this world? ”

"Lies are my coat, and disguise is my mask. Freya bowed her head and said, "I hide all the truth in the deepest part of my soul, and face this cold world with a false illusion, this is me, a real me." ”

"The Death of Agnesa's Mask, Book 3, Chapter 11 of the Autumn Grass Collection. Pannis said with a smirk: "Don't you think it's a little too harsh to describe yourself?"

"It's not harsh, don't you think it's appropriate?" Freya sighed, "But I'm surprised that you know." ”

"No matter how clever a person's disguise is, there will be occasional loopholes in daily contact. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally: "What's more, it's not a hard thing to guess, you can figure it out with a little brain." ”

Freya replied with a straight face, silent. Pannis didn't care, smiled casually, and continued: "A girl who has grown up in the city lord's family since birth, a beautiful girl who can make the whole city fascinated, a girl who is smart and potential, and who has been promoted to the gold rank very early, such a person, how much dirt and evil will he face in his life, how much hypocrisy and lies he will see, needless to say, you should know better than me." ”

"I'd rather be blinded than see those hypocritical smiling faces, I'd rather pierce my ears than hear those sweet lies. Freya's eyes were gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "I'd rather choose death than struggle in this ugly and hideous world, destroy, destroy, let all of them perish with me in this raging flame." ”

"Fireworks at the wedding, Act V, sorry, I'm not very familiar with comedy, I can't remember if it's the sixth verse or the epilogue. However, you know everything very well, so you are a smart person. Pannis resumed his movements and began to continue wiping the tombstone: "You also told Catherine and them before that in the years since you were born, everyone you have come into contact with except Odin and Christo has a purpose, not because of your family background, or because of your appearance, which is as annoying as a fly. But is that really just the case? A simple sentence of coveting your family background and appearance, in fact, how many shameless conspiracies and dirty means will be hidden behind it, can you come all the way through this environment safely, is it really a girl who is innocent and kind like a blank sheet of paper, and can only rely on Odin's busy father to protect her? I don't believe it. ”

"I'm not convinced either. Freya was silent for a long time, then shook her head and said, "That's impossible. ”

"Falsehood to falsehood, hypocrisy to hypocrisy. Pannis whispered, "In our pain, we think we have learned to mature, we think we have grown, but we just pick up a handful of sludge from this filthy ocean and smear it on our bodies, making ourselves as dirty as the world." Is it the filthy world that pollutes us, or is it the filthy us who make up this filthy world?"

"Esvi's Road to Revenge, Act II, Section III. Freya couldn't help but smile at the way Pennis spoke, but her voice was still heavy: "This question is too complicated, and I don't know the answer. ”

"There's no answer, just what you think. Pannis said: "The latter question is easy to guess, you actually met Catherine and her sisters in this world where it feels like there is conspiracy and malice everywhere, and they actually treat you with pure kindness, without any other intentions." You've finally found a haven from the wind, so try to play a naΓ―ve and kind role so that they don't hate you, right? You've spent more than a year transforming yourself into the way you are, just to make it difficult for familiar people to recognize you face to face, so that you won't cause them trouble when you come back to them, right? No, it's not just that, I understand, the wedding event was also directly induced by you, and the way it is now is also to create a reasonable excuse for the wedding event. Huh, I'm afraid it wasn't because of a coincidence that Wesker received that letter at the earliest, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, you are looking for a way to deliver that letter to him. ”

"That makes it easy for me. Freya said with a wry smile: "There is no beautiful appearance, no one knows my family background, so those disgusting eyes and voices are really gone, and I can also live happily with Catherine and them, although I need to always disguise myself as an innocent and pure character, but after all, I have been used to it for more than ten years, and sometimes I even have the illusion that I am such a person, but I am just lost in a complex environment." ”

"The highest level of deception is to deceive yourself?But how can you be so sure that it is your delusion?Is it really a delusion?" Pannis smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you think Catherine and the others are stupid?"

"Of course not. Freya looked up sharply and said dissatisfiedly, "They are truly kind, not stupid at all. ”

"Catherine was educated by the aristocracy since she was a child and is good at figuring out human nature, Vivien is sensitive and good at reading emotions, and Lina has acquired a beastly intuition in the dark and loneliness, and is good at perceiving people's hearts. Pannis asked rhetorically: "If you think they are not stupid, why do you think that they will not see through your disguise in their daily interactions?

"I ......," Freya said, "I didn't think so. ”

"Of course you didn't think so. Pannis said: "You just instinctively blindfolded your heart and didn't dare to let yourself think about it, in fact, you should also be conscious, they actually already know, but they didn't explain it." ”

"But why?" Freya asked, biting her lip and asking with a pleading concern, "If they knew, shouldn't they be disgusted with me and get rid of me, why ......?"

"Yes, obviously I was deceived by my best friend, and my best friend has been pretending, why are they still cooperating like this?" Pannis smiled and winked strangely: "Guess what, why is that? And then you touch your heart and ask yourself, is everything really just a disguise?"

"That's not right. Pannis's words made Freya ponder for a long time, and then suddenly reacted, glared and said, "Why did the topic shift to me, wasn't you still talking about your identity just now?" Mr. Kyle. ”

"Huh. The purpose was exposed, and Pannis didn't care, and after completing the last bit of wiping, he stood up with his hands and said, "Make a deal, these words just now are my bid." (To be continued.) )
