Chapter 22: Longing – Enlightenment

Lani didn't speak immediately after Agnes' answer, she couldn't describe the expression on Lani's face for a moment, she seemed to shudder at Agnes's gaze, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen, and the room was completely silent for a moment.

The sound of fireworks outside the window traveled the distance and eventually died down completely.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The bell ringing from the magnificent bell tower of the church of San Draco rings the overture to the new year, and Agnes stands up and walks to the window.

"New year." She looked out the window at the dark blue sky and spoke.

Footsteps behind her approached her, eventually stopping behind her.

"Yes, new year, Ella." Lani's voice rang out behind her, and Agnes withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Lani.

"Give me a last name, Ella." She spoke in Agnes' gaze, with a gentle smile that somehow came from her, and she looked up into Agnes' eyes, "I really should make some new choices. ”

Her hand gently stroked her lower abdomen, again and again, "for a...... He who was not born sinful...... Dot. ”

"So...... Santos," Agnes subconsciously glanced down at her hand and whispered, "as my compliment and blessing, I hope it satisfies you." ”

Agnes didn't give Lani a chance to ask, and with a slightly complicated feeling, she said goodnight to Lani.

......

"I didn't expect that of all the words I said to Lani, only the low sequence that I told her at the beginning would not pass on the extraordinary traits to her own children that would be the most effective."

Agnes couldn't help but shrug her shoulders as she looked at the somewhat illusory flowers in her hands and the withered black seeds on the side with a complicated expression.

"There's a trace, isn't it?" Huizhen's voice suddenly sounded in Agnes's ears, and Angnes subconsciously raised her head to look at the full-length mirror in the corner of the room.

A piece of information came to her mind that was half the same as she had seen before.

"A vanishing thirst for destruction."

"The owner of this longing should not have an expectation beyond the abyss, but the candle flame immersed in the sewage illuminated the surrounding environment with itself, but unfortunately it was still dark. She had been full of hope to give her children a very opposite environment to her, but unfortunately she knew that the darkness around her would only create a new born criminal, and it was better to destroy them on the altar of blood together. ”

Agnes picked up the withered seed with one hand and looked up at Hye-jin's figure in the mirror.

"The desire is also up to the standard of exchange for your memories." Hui Zhen spoke in Angnes' gaze.

"I thought the agreement I made after I changed my aspirations would be nullified." Agnes put the withered seed back in her hand and said with a mocking smile on her lips.

"You're still mindful of other people's desires, aren't you?" Hye-jin looked at Agnes calmly and said, Agnes' words did not cause her any additional fluctuations.

"Wait a while," Agnes looked thoughtfully at the illusory flower in her hand, reached out and opened the suitcase on the desk on the side, and took out the "Dream Rose" that she had put away from the hidden compartment of the suitcase.

The roses made of inlaid red glass shimmered in the light like blood, and the faint streamer flowed in the open roses on the brooch.

"You're trying to get to the bottom of her desires?" Hye-jin looked at Agnes' movements and frowned slightly.

"This illusory flower has not yet been fully formed, and the desires of the past have faded," Agnes picked up the rose brooch, "and while I don't know what happens when a person loses their effective desires, ......"

Agnes clearly saw that Huizhen's face in the mirror gradually took on a mocking expression, and her voice rang in Agneth's ears,

"I think you've forgotten what you're carrying...... Pollution," she said in her last word, with an emphasis on it, "the polluted will inevitably become believers." ”

Agnes put down the rose brooch in her hand, a smile on her lips.

"So it seems that your attitude is the same as mine."

Hui Zhen took a deep look at Agnes and said with an expressionless face, "Although the influence of 'Destruction Mania' has completely disappeared from you, you have not yet completely survived the Tribulation of the Heart, and I think you should be reluctant to try the consequences of not being able to survive the Tribulation of the Heart." ”

Agnes couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and was about to say something, when Hye-jin's figure completely disappeared from the mirror, fully expressing her reluctance to answer Agnes.

Agnes shrugged her shoulders, withdrew her gaze from the mirror, put the rose brooch back in her hand in the dark compartment, took out her black notebook, and began to write.

"Desire – Enlightenment,"

"'Resonance' – the longing that all living beings and their relics possess vibrate at their characteristic frequency, and someone looks at them and responds with the same frequency of their own influence."

"'Inheritance' – the seeds of desire remain here forever until one day someone replants them in the fertile land."

"'Solace' – the pain born of longing is soothed in someone's hands or taken away from the root."

Agnes stopped writing, looked at her handwriting and raised an eyebrow, then wrote in very small words after "resonance", "inheritance" and "consolation", "influencing desire or empowering it through desire", "planting desire", and "stabilizing desire to shock or take away desire".

"The ability to be supportive, very well suited to proselytizing," Agnes commented casually, "There is restraint in the high sequence of 'criminals', and there are great similarities......

Her words stopped abruptly, as if she had thought of something, and only after a moment did she re-write the words "easy to use" in the margins above a few lines.

After "resonance", she writes "It's easy to influence desire, but it's harder to empower", then pauses and writes "Oladius" and "Pagni".

She wrote the word "extremely easy" after "inheritance", and then put a question mark on "inheritance".

She thought for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote after "comforting" "It's easy to be stable, but it's hard to take it away."

She put down the pen and looked at what she had written with a scrutinizing gaze for a long time, before picking up the pen and circled the "gaze" in the line "Resonance", and then wrote the names "Mera", "Elisa", and "Stitch" on the side.

She paused for a moment, then wrote the words "primary stage" and "pollution" at the bottom.

Agnes closed her notebook, stood up, and walked to the window, where the early morning sky looked dark with a heavy dark blue.
