Chapter 24: Confession

Agnes's spirit gradually drifted into a trance, and she felt as if her surroundings were once again swallowed up by darkness, but the darkness gradually dispersed and turned into a thick fog. Agnes felt a strange feeling of exhaustion welling up from within, and she did not resist it.

Her consciousness seemed to be divided into two parts, one was drowsy, and the other was indifferently listening to Lord Rossi asking her questions one by one, seeing Lord Rossi's face gradually become solemn, and finally arranging a spiritual wall to pray to Mother Earth Goddess.

Agnes did not hear what Lord Rossi had reported to Mother Earth and what oracles she had received, she only saw that after the ritual was completed, Lord Rossi's face was much more relaxed.

Agnes saw Lord Rossi put away the ritual materials and then woke herself up.

Agnes opened her eyes, and Lord Rossi reached out and pulled her up.

"Your changes don't hurt you." Lord Rossi said in a gentle voice.

"You do get some things from Mera, but they don't take a toll on your ego." His Excellency Rossi smiled.

"What did I take from Mela?" Agnes couldn't help but ask.

Lord Rossi was silent for a long time, and just when Agnes thought she would not answer, she finally spoke:

"Humanity, you took away part of her humanity."

"How is that possible? How can one person's humanity be taken away by someone else! Agnes retorted subconsciously, but stopped questioning herself, remembering her own series of manifestations after connecting with Mera's spirit body.

"I don't know." Lord Rossi laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"We think that there is a primordial divinity in every human being, but we don't know what the corresponding human nature comes from. Some people think that human nature is a certain kind of human nature, and some people think that human nature arises because of human sociality. ”

"No one can say what human nature is like. There is both a good and a vicious side to human nature. ”

"I'm glad you took from Mela the tenderest part of human nature – empathy for the weak." His Excellency Rossi said with a smile.

Agnes opened her mouth and finally asked, "What about Mera?" ”

"I don't know." Lord Rossi shook his head and said, "But based on your description and current performance, I don't think you took too much. ”

"She's in the underworld now, and with less compassion, maybe it's easier for her to survive." Lord Rossi said with a sigh.

"I see." Agnes said with her head down.

"It feels like a thief." Agnes smiled self-deprecatingly.

His Excellency Rossi didn't say anything, just sighed.

"So, the secret being who contacted me not only didn't take anything from me, but gave me more?" Agnes muttered to herself.

"Yes." His Excellency Rossi said as if sighing.

"Oh, just having a connection with Him brings misfortune, what does His gift need me to ......?"

"Agnes, be careful!" His Excellency Rossi said solemnly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rossi, I lost my temper." Agnes closed her eyes and calmed her emotions for a moment, then said.

His Excellency Rossi sighed helplessly and said, "Your mood swings have increased a bit, and you need to pay attention to control. ”

"Maybe the effects of potions," Agnes was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Lord Rossi, what do you think 'prisoner' looks like?" ”

His Excellency Rossi glanced at Agnes and said with a smile: "Playing the law? I thought you'd cover it up. ”

"There's no need," said Agnes, shaking her head, "I don't think it's possible for the church to have no one discover the way to play in all its long history. The reason why there is no such news circulating may be due to some other considerations. ”

Lord Rossi laughed and said, "Well, that's true. But I can only tell you part of the reason why it can't be circulated. ”

"What is it?" Agnes asked.

"Playing the law, no matter how you want to play, I need to remind you of one thing – you always have to remember that you are just playing." His Excellency Rossi said very solemnly.

So what can't tell me is the law of conservation of extraordinary properties? Agnes thought.

"I'd actually prefer you to know how to play later." His Excellency Rossi gently pinned a strand of Agnes' hair behind her ear, as if sighing, and said:

"You are still very young, your self-awareness is not deep enough, not mature enough, in fact, in my opinion, you are slowly mastering the power, a little bit to adapt to the extraordinary, it is better."

"So, Your Excellency Rossi, do you prefer that I don't play it for a while?" Agnes asked thoughtfully.

"No, that's not what I meant." Lord Rossi shook his head and said, "Your playfulness comes from your dreams, I'm afraid that even if you don't want to use the play, there will be all kinds of accidents that will make you have to speed up the digestion of potions." ”

"Yes." Agnes hesitated and said.

"I actually always thought that you could digest most of it by drinking the 'prisoner' potion, after all, the church has been monitoring you for so long." Lord Rossi laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"Presumably because I don't feel restricted?" Agnes said hesitantly.

"Maybe, you've always been a good boy, after all." H.E. Rossi said.

"I don't know exactly how to play the 'prisoner', what do you think?" H.E. Rossi asked.

"When I was taking potions, Monsieur Conte once told me an adage – the mind is a prisoner of the body, and the body is a prisoner of the world. During this time, I have been trying to 'be a prisoner of the mind and body', but I find it difficult to grasp the main point, so maybe I should try it from 'being a prisoner of the world'. Agnes said.

"Okay, we'll cooperate with you." His Excellency Rossi smiled and said: "After all, you lack some life experience, and you have a good family background, except for your 'illness', you have not experienced any setbacks, of course, it is difficult to truly understand the 'prisoner of mind and body'. ”

"Agnes, what is the strongest desire in your heart? Or to put it another way, have you ever thought about what your real goal is? Lord Rossi asked as she looked at Agnes seriously.

"I just wanted to live before taking the potion." Agnes said.

"And now?"

Agnes pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and said, "I think it's to find out the secret behind my 'disease'." ”

His Excellency Rossi sighed and said, "This is a long-term goal. ”

"I understand."

Rossi didn't go any deeper on the topic, instead asking, "I heard that your last two missions to the Heart of Nature haven't been too smooth?" ”
