Chapter 78: Night Trials and Relationships
"In the past?"
It took a while for Varina to straighten his head, which had been tilted to one side by the blow.
Still with his head down, he replied in a low voice:
"He's dead, and there's no going back from it!"
"How can this be done?!"
Another slap in the face.
Varina's head was knocked off the other side.
"You also know that it is irretrievable?"
Qi Li grabbed him by the hair, forcibly made him look up, forced him to look at herself, and said angrily:
"His death is irretrievable, but you are still alive and there are still many things to do, do you want to give up like this?"
With that, she pushed Varina down, turned and left the room again.
When it was time to go out, she whispered to herself.
"Really, why am I a witch, even if I save people, I still have to come here to play a psychiatrist? I must be crazy......"
After Cherry left, Varina gradually came back to her senses.
There are all kinds of big truths, he has a basket in his head, but suddenly the matter is coming, and he gets into the tip of the horns.
Qi Li's words were an introduction that helped him get out of the cycle of infinite self-blame.
He began to think about the future.
Of course, this does not mean that Corvo's death has become a "thing of the past" in his mind.
He'll remember, he'll keep it in mind, but he'll not be stuck in it again, as he was before.
β¦β¦
For a day, Qi Li didn't come back.
Varina didn't do much but move back to her room.
This time he was too badly injured.
If the wounds in the heart can be quickly healed through enlightenment, the wounds in the body obviously require a longer recovery time.
In the evening, Qi Li came back with a cold look.
Seeing that his mental state had obviously changed, she mocked:
"Yo, figured it out so quickly? Looks like you're not that kind. β
As she spoke, she changed her words, "Of course, many times kindness and stupidity are equated, and you should be glad that you are not hopeless." β
Qi Li put down the bag in her hand, took out the contents and put them on the table, it was a wooden lunch box and a tube of green paste unknown liquid.
"Here's your dinner, drink it after eating, and answer my questions honestly."
Qi Li's fingers tapped over the lunch box and then the sealed glass tube, and she said her arrangement in an unquestionable tone.
Varina didn't say much, silently got up and sat down at the table.
When he opened the lunch box, he found that this dinner was not only meat and vegetarian, quite sumptuous, but also slightly warm, and a warm touch rose in his heart.
"Thank you."
Varina whispered a thank you, then set off.
Just as he lowered his head and put the food in his mouth, there was a sudden "tug" on the table.
Varina looked closely, and saw that it was Qili who had pinned his dagger to the table from behind, and the force was so great that the dagger inserted into the table was still trembling slightly.
"If I come back and see that Ling is still the same as in the morning, you can only eat this!"
Her voice was cold, suppressing the feeling that had just warmed up in Varina's heart a lot.
For the rest of the room, the only sounds in the room were the clashing of utensils and the sound of food being swallowed.
After the meal, Varina opened the glass tube containing the green liquid, and a strange sour smell immediately came out.
"What is this?" He asked with a frown.
Qi Li didn't answer and asked, "Do you drink?" β
Varina took a closer look at the green, bubbling viscous liquid in the glass tube, and drank it down.
It's strange that something that looks so badly doesn't have a stimulating taste, and it's even a little sweet?
After drinking it, he felt a warm current spread from his stomach, and he felt quite comfortable.
So...... Is this a therapeutic agent?
Behind him, Qili's tense face eased considerably.
She walked a few steps and sat down on the bed, still holding her expression, and asked, "What do you rely on to ensure that the counterattack hits?" β
While Varina was still mentally organizing her words, she spoke:
"After I became an 'assassin', I inexplicably mastered a new ability, which I call 'connection'."
This...... I just drank a potion like "Truth Elixir"?!
Varina was startled and quickly suppressed her desire to speak.
The witch is still a witch!
Every time Varina's impression of her changed, she would always do something.
Let's not talk about it far away, just for a short time, he just had some emotion because of dinner, and he immediately ushered in the dagger; As soon as he felt that the effect of the potion was very comfortable, he immediately revealed the effect of "spitting the truth......
He knows that women's thinking is incomprehensible, but is the idea of a man becoming a witch so novel?
This mode of getting along...... It's really torturous......
Qili saw the shocked expression on Varina's face, and her heart was much happier.
"You're drinking a recovery potion that I brewed, and of course, as you can see, it also has some 'truth elixir' effects."
After explaining, Qi Li asked again: "Mastery?" Not a magical item? β
"It's mastery."
This time, Varina had a more accurate judgment of the potion potion and was much more relieved.
Its "spitting truth" effect is indeed not strong, and it may be no problem to deal with ordinary people and ordinary "assassins", but it is still a little worse for him.
Varina was certain that she could rely on her extraordinary will to counter the potion to potion potency.
"Here, let me see." Qi Li makes a new request.
Varina thought that since the "connection" had been exposed, it would be better to use it to win Qili's trust so that she could deal with her other problems in the future.
After hesitating, he reached out and wiped it in front of his eyes, "connecting" Qili to the bed.
"It's so strong...... Control ...... Effect. β
The effect of Qili's attack is similar to that of MariΔ, and much better than Corvo's.
Varina quickly canceled the "connection".
Qi Li was a little shocked on her face, but quickly disappeared and asked again, "Do you know the reason?" β
"I don't know." Varina hid her guesses.
Qi Li thought about it, controlled her curiosity, and gave up continuing to ask the question.
She instead asked, "Who are the two of them, and what is their relationship with you?" β
"Hugh and Furth are my friends."
Speaking of which, Varina asked her, "They've helped me a lot, you can ...... blood"
"Now I'm asking!"
Qi Li interrupted angrily and continued to ask, "Which of them do you prefer?" β
"Say it, and I can consider giving her blood back."
"Of course, you can only choose one."
Pitfall...... Proper language traps, and low-level!
Varina thought for a moment and told the truth:
"I treat them as friends, and we haven't been together for a long time, and I don't have a so-called liking, let alone a bias."
"I hope you don't control my friend."
After hearing this, Qi Li asked a question that surprised her, "Then am I your friend?" β
When Varina heard this, he was also stunned.
It's true that he's been with Qili for so long, but he's never thought about anything like that.
The relationship between them is obviously beyond his default and simple superior-subordinate relationship, but to what extent, it is not a friend, and he really stopped asking.
Varina explores the heart, thinks carefully, and analyzes carefully......
Qi Li didn't make a sound urging, and waited quietly for an answer.
