Chapter 4 Communication

"You look familiar with these things." Lani watched as Agnes quickly disemboweled the fish in her hand with an extremely fluid movement directly by the stream, then smeared it with spices and salt that she had picked along the way, and roasted it.

"It's not that difficult," Agnes said, raising her head and raising an eyebrow, "The knowledge contained in potions can enhance the ability to learn many skills. ”

"No," Lani stared at Agnes with a hint of tentativeness, "I mean the feelings you gave me and these ...... Very inconsistent. ”

"What doesn't match?" Agnes asked, turning the fish in her hand over and looking up.

"You should dress smartly and look ...... makeup"

"And then at those stupid prom dinners with juice glasses and a supposing perfect smile at a bunch of curly-haired baboons?" Agnes interrupted Lani with a slight malicious smile.

Lani didn't say anything more, just looked at the obvious malicious smile on Agnes' face.

Agnes lowered her head and carefully grilled the fish in her hand.

"The malice you're showing to be taunting is fake," Lani said suddenly, "and while you don't really like the prom parties you mentioned, you don't really care about them. ”

And barely hiding that she had once been a member of high society, Lani swallowed the words she was about to utter and looked at Agnes.

It stands to reason that she shouldn't try to communicate with someone who gives her a strong sense of crisis, especially when she is completely under the control of the other party.

But her intuition told her that it didn't matter, although the other party had the idea of killing herself before, he was not ready to do it now.

And now, the other party has a certain tolerance for herself for the time being, and she suddenly wants to say something, especially when the other party's eyes look at her, Lani feels that the other party will definitely listen to her words and say something.

Agnes looked up, the expression on her face unchanged.

"Where did you see that?" She asked.

"I didn't see it," Lani said, "it was just a gut feeling on my part. ”

"A 'gut feeling'?" Agnes hooked the corners of her mouth, "I almost thought you were actually a 'spectator'. ”

Agnes didn't give Lani a chance to interject, and said straight, "You want to know who I am?" ”

Lani paused, then nodded slightly.

"You can ask me directly," said Agnes, curling the corners of her mouth, smiling at Lani, and whispering, "I'm from Fenerport City, and I used to have a good family, and after my mother died, I suddenly found that I didn't want to deal with those people anymore, so I left Fenerport City to become a bounty hunter. ”

Fenerport City? Kingdom of Fenerport...... Mother Earth Church has always preached the preciousness of life, and Lani nodded.

"You seem to have a lot of questions?" Agnes asked, looking at Lani.

"Yes," Lani said, nodding, "I've always wondered why you wanted to kill me, but let me go......."

"I thought you wondered why you came to me from the Red Theater." Agnes said, curling the corners of her mouth.

Lani was silent for a moment, then shook her head slowly, "But that gentleman or lady gave me to you. ”

"Well, think calmly," the smile on Agnes' face grew, "and why do you think you're still alive now?" ”

"Because of this child," Lani said with a somewhat complicated look on her belly, "you don't want to kill him." ”

"Perhaps," said Agnes, nodding noncommittally and glancing at her palm inexplicably, "but I'm not unsure of your choice. ”

Lani couldn't help but laugh, "What choice do I have?" ”

"Your choices for the future," Agnes said, sniffing the grilled fish in her hand, "the choices of the past cannot be changed, and there is no point in you and me talking about it for the time being. ”

"You've killed yourself in all paths except your choice," Agnes straightened up and said casually, "so just talk about the future." ”

"The choice for the future ......" Lani's face was a little confused, and then she lowered her head and said, "You probably know better than I do." ”

"I don't know, no one knows which one you're going to choose until you make a choice." Agnes tore the grilled fish apart, "All I know is that you're trying to destroy yourself with the things you hate, but I don't know what exactly you're hating?" ”

"Red Theater? Byam? Or is it what happened to you? Or is it just you? Agnes said as she looked at Lani, whose face was getting stiffer and stiffer.

Lani couldn't help but cover her face, gasping for breath a little quickly, before she raised her head and stared at Agnes.

"I don't know." She whispered.

"I hated my mother at first, the man who gave birth to me, the natives that my mother talked about, and the people who killed my mother," Lani said with a look of confusion, "and then I found out that I actually hated the Red Theater, hated Byam, hated Suniahai, and even hated ......"

Her words paused.

"The whole world." Agnes spoke up and continued Rani's words.

Lani remained motionless for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Ah, the whole world ......," said Agnes in a distressed tone, "that the whole world would end sooner?" ”

"Then you can't do what you expect by just summoning demons," Agnes said softly, raising an eyebrow, "after all, an ordinary demon may not even be able to finish Byam." ”

Lani didn't speak, just looked at Agnes.

"I thought you were going to tell me that I was wrong."

"Wrong?" Agnes couldn't help but laugh, "I don't think so, in fact, sometimes I think the world shouldn't be like this." ”

"I often find the world strange and twisted, but sometimes I feel that it is actually normal, but it is normal where there is a problem," said Agnes in a calm voice, "The people at the top are using every noble impulse and every human tragedy to their advantage, and the people at the bottom are pale and haggard, but they do not understand the reason why they are in such a situation. ”

"Even if the straw people at the bottom have good intentions for those around them and try to grasp every glimmer of hope, they can only burst like foam under the beneficial path chosen by the people at the top......" Agnes stopped her words and took a bite of the grilled fish that had been torn open by herself.

"Huh......" Agnes chuckled, shaking her head.

"I'm not like you." Lani said aloud.

"Of course not." Agnes whispered.
