After following Bai Xue and seeing Lizzy lying on the bed, Eco, who is a demigod-level life priest, found at first glance that Liz's vitality was much weaker than the previous day or two.

Quietly glancing at Rishi, who was standing aside, Eco didn't have a flaw on his face, just walked over to Liz, and then opened up his new realm.

【The Field of Life - The Ancient Origin】

As a Life Priest, Eco is different from others in this field. Her realm specializes in the flow of life force, though it is theoretically possible to allow life force to flow out to inflict damage on enemies. But it's still not possible to use it for battles.

This field is used for healing far beyond the enemy. And since Eco has opened up this field this time, it means that she is going to go all out to treat - at least she wants Bai Xue to know and see that she has done her best to save her.

Then, unsurprisingly, after opening the realm to explore in full force, Eco says that the symptoms are understandable, but they cannot be cured—the symptoms are really because Liz's soul is already weak, as Rishi said. But the soul level of the Ice Ocean Goddess is too high, and she can't do even a little repair for such a soul.

And......

"From the examination, I can feel that at most, in a few days of no more than a week, Liz's soul will die—and the speed of her soul decline can be clearly felt now. ”

"But I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it. Eco bowed her head and apologized. Then she raised her head, frowned slightly, and then, with the surprise in her heart, cast her inquiring gaze on Bai Xue.

Not only Echo, but Rishi also looked at Bai Xue with a very surprised look.

Because the snow was so calm, it was surprising to be calm, though only in relation to the two of them's impression of the snow.

Snow sitting next to Liz's bed. His expression changed from anxious and uneasy to deep sadness after hearing about Eco's diagnosis. According to the relationship between Bai Xue and Liz, these are normal reactions. But......

When Snow heard the news, she was able to sit quietly on the edge of the bed, which was enough to puzzle anyone who knew her and her relationship with Liz well.

If it was Bai Xue a few years ago, it would be a good thing to hear the news without hysteria and fall into a frenzy. And even if it is said that Bai Xue has grown in recent years. But after seeing the affection she still has for Lizzy recently, Eco and Rishi both subconsciously believe that Bai Xue still has a deep obsession and love for Liz.

If that's the case, then Bai Xue should be even more excited...... Normally, she would at least grab Rishi's clothes and ask why Liz was suddenly like this, instead of slowly weakening as the other party said at the beginning, right?

And in fact, after Bai Xue took a deep breath, the next sentence she said was indeed like this. But her look and words did not appear irritable, but with a slightly understanding expression.

As if he was not surprised and did not want to pursue Rishi's concealment or even deception—it was obviously about the person who was most important to him?

Because they both felt a strangeness in their hearts, even if there was nothing to do, Eco and Rishi just stood to the side, looking at Bai Xue with an inquiring gaze. But at this time, Bai Xue sighed. From the expressions and actions of the two, she knew that the two of them had doubts in their hearts, but she didn't have any explanation. Just understated. An order was issued to evict the guest.

Bai Xue: "Echo...... Thank you so much for your willingness to come to the rescue. I owe you a favor this time...... You're welcome. But now, I wish I could be with her. Alone with Liz...... Until the final outcome comes out, I want to be alone with her - that's what I want to convey to Headmaster Alpha, can you please do that, Rishi?"

After speaking, without waiting for Rishi's answer, Bai Xue looked at Eco again: "Then." Eco. I'd like to make one more request to you...... Please help transport us to that place. Please......"

Looking at Lizzie's sleeping face lying on the bed, Bai Xue said quietly, and many complicated thoughts flashed in her eyes. Then she picked up Liz on the bed......

―――――――――――――――― dividing line

"Are you awake, Xiaohai?" When Liz Hai woke up from her sleep, she looked up and saw nothing but the ceiling of her room. It's an ice house, and ...... With a concerned and gentle look on her face.

Being in a strange place. Liz felt a panic, turned her head and wanted to angrily ask the person in front of her, "Where is this?". However, at the moment when the words were about to blurt out, she was swallowed back by her who had calmed down.

Liz remembered that she didn't have many days left now. However, the "Raiders" are not yet complete. She also needs to make persistent efforts to improve her impression score in Bai Xue's heart. Until the other party is willing to sacrifice for himself.

Therefore, she must not be angry with the other party, so as not to displease the other party. She just needs to put on a face that makes the other person like it, and she asks questions in a gentle and intimate tone.

However, as a mortal, she didn't know that the subtle angry expression on her face at the beginning, as well as the actions of swallowing the words, were clearly seen by Bai Xue, who had the observation ability of a demigod.

With a long sigh in his heart, Bai Xue remained silent on the surface, and only said, "This is a good place for cultivation that I found when I went out to cultivate—and it is also the best place to carry out the inheritance of the goddess." Bai Xue didn't say the last half of the sentence, but just added in her heart. Then, she clearly tells Liz about the other party's current situation, including what Eco tried to do but couldn't do.

On the other hand, after feeling her bad situation, Liz's eyes darkened deeply for a while. Then, in a weak and pitiful voice that matched her current situation, she said, "Snowy...... Am I running out of time?"

“...... Two days to go. There was a deep sadness in Bai Xue's voice, and it sounded very low. After hearing Bai Xue's words, Liz's heart instantly fell to the bottom. She really didn't expect that there would be so little time left all of a sudden.

Then, beneath the quilt that she thought she couldn't see by the snow, Liz's left hand, which was not exposed, clenched tightly into a fist. (Damn, hate, damn!!) Obviously, everything is moving in the direction I want. Everything has changed for the better, how did it become like this all of a sudden?

Liz's heart was in a frenzy, she was unwilling, sad, and hateful. Unwilling、Grieved and indignant at the fact that he was reincarnated as a goddess remnant and was about to die.。 I also hate that I am the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the goddess, and I hate Bai Xue as the "main body" and has the initiative to choose the successor.

(If it's not you, if it's not you, if it's not you, if it's not you...... How did I get to this point! And you, Eco. Aren't you supposed to be the strongest, the strongest priest, why can't you do anything to me!)

But on the surface, she must not show such resentment for Bai Xue to see. Otherwise, how could she deceive Bai Xue into willingly sacrificing for her?

(After I become the goddess of the ice ocean...... Those who are bent on white snow instead of me, I will never let go easily!)

The frenzy in her heart grows stronger, and the sludge of sin fills Liz's heart. In the midst of this deep resentment, she had lost herself.

A gentle, affectionate expression and gaze appeared on her face, and Liz bloomed into a beautiful but strange smile: "Na...... Snow white. ”

(Why...... Why do I have to go through such a thing!)

Bai Xue: "Well, what's the matter?"

Liz: "I ...... Maybe it's been a long time coming...... It's a pity that I can't spend time with anyone I value anymore. I...... I feel very sad. "Show the enemy" weakness and win her sympathy and pity......

(Why, am I the reincarnation of the so-called goddess remnant? Why does it have to be me?)

Bai Xue: "......" heart is blocked, and Bai Xue only feels inexplicable sadness - although it is because of Liz's words, but it is different. Her heart is blocked, and she no longer knows what to say.

The gentleness in his eyes was like a river, as if he was about to overflow. But the bottom of the river was deeper, black sludge.

But no matter how the sludge rolls in the heart, "at such a moment...... There are thousands of words in my heart, and suddenly there is no way to express them in detail word by word. At this moment, I just want to say to you, thank you......"

Confused by the sad shadow of darkness.

"Thank you for the world where you exist, thank you for growing up with me as my childhood sweetheart, and thank you for being the most important thing to me...... Thank you, I like you. ”

A soul that indulges in sin.

The appearance is still the appearance of a beautiful girl, but such Liz, her heart has completely sunk and been swallowed by the sludge of resentment.

She, in a certain sense, can no longer be said to be such an existence as a "human"?

looked at Liz, who was completely incomprehensible in front of him, and listened to the other party's confession that sounded extremely sincere......

Bai Xue only felt that she could still feel the feeling called "cold".

Looking straight at Liz, she only felt that she couldn't see clearly.

It's right in front of you, but it feels far away.

After a moment of silence, Bai Xue finally spoke with difficulty.

"Understood...... I accept your confession...... My dearest people, my most important people...... Let's do it today. ”

"It's ...... Now be. Let's finish it......" (To be continued......
