Chapter 7 Waiver
When the rabbit felt the real world again, saw and heard everything around him, and gained control of himself, the frightened expression in his eyes froze for a long time.
It wasn't until he looked up in a trance and saw Esther, who was standing in front of him in front of him with a worried face, that he came back to his senses from the nightmarish experience.
No matter how strong this boy is, there are limits, and now when he sees someone to rely on, his tense nerves instantly relax.
As the glowing veil dissipated and flew back to Esther's head as a point of light, the blackness in the boy's eyes quickly receded, returning to the icy blue and cold primary color, hazy with tears.
"It's okay." Esther whispered, brushing aside the crystal shards in her palm, which quickly turned to withered ashes, and wondered what the doppelganger had been made of.
Just to see her gentle smile, which made the rabbit unable to hold it any longer, he threw himself into Esther's arms, grabbed her arm and cried loudly:
"I—I don't remember anything, and all of a sudden something else appeared, and at first it was just when I was asleep, and I tried to make a deal with him, and I thought he wasn't going to hurt me. But then that day, it seemed like something had happened......
"The voice in my head, he's getting stranger and stranger, I don't know what's going on! But as it went on, all of a sudden, I couldn't control my body at all......
The boy cried intermittently, and the fear that had been built up for the time had been driven by another will, and finally had a safe outlet under Esther's gentle comfort.
She saved me again—the rabbit had the idea in his heart, and while he was grateful, he was a little unwilling.
The crow hovering above fell again, gathered its wings a few steps away from the two of them, and bounced to observe the boy.
It could no longer communicate with the clone, exchanging ideas with each other by "stealing", and furthermore, it could no longer communicate with the other.
But the crow also knew that the worm of time that had parasitized the boy was still "alive", and his current state was similar to the method that Esther used to suppress Xiao Qi in the early days.
What a pathetic fellow, it's funny...... However, Benjamin's memories are also on the other side, which is why the crow is reluctant to let the doppelganger stay safely.
An ordinary boy with little ability, or an unstable factor that may affect the clone and affect the "anchor", then Amon will of course give priority to dealing with the latter.
And Esther did come, and the Raven got her mode of action and saw what it was looking forward to—the power that Zoya could use.
It was happy with the result, the boy was still in danger of being parasitized, and Amon could easily identify him, either Esther gave up on the rabbit completely, or she always had a weakness to scratch on.
The raven flapped its wings again and flew towards Esther's shoulder, landing on her shoulder without hesitation under her cold glare, with a smile that was not pure in her half-squinted black eyes.
The rabbit looked up, feeling the malice hidden in the crow's eyes, and in the barely hidden fear, he took a half step back, rubbed his red eyes vigorously, and then looked at Esther, who leaned down on the other side and looked at him at eye level:
"So you—You're still going to have to leave, right?"
"Yes, but ......"
Esther was relieved by the child's intelligence, but because of what had happened to him, she was somewhat reluctant to keep him in Beckland.
Having been in that chapel, Esther had woken up from that sleepwalking memory, and now she only knew what Adam was planning in Beckland, but she didn't quite know what had happened here.
Of course, Amon would not kindly remind her that there was now an imminent war between Beckland and Fursak, which made Esther's impression of Beckland still stuck in months or even half a year ago.
The rabbit flattened its beak, like a deflated rubber duck: "It's okay for me to be alone."
"That's wrong, you're not
It's alone." The crow interjected, glared at by both men, but it triumphantly flapped its wings on its chest, slanted at Esther and said, "I'll watch him."
"I'm not comfortable with you." Esther's fingers raised slightly, and she restrained her subconscious movements.
"But he's good at using it, at least until the stake is gone, he'll be safe."
As long as Esther cared, the rabbit would be fine, and if she didn't, the boy would disappear completely, and that was the part that the crow didn't say.
Esther, of course, understood, and after a few seconds of silence, she nodded.
Just hearing these words, the rabbit quickly understood the current situation, and knew that it was because of himself that Esther was being coerced by that strange and extraordinary person, and immediately retorted, "You! You despicable fellow! I'm not—"
"Bunny!" Esther interrupted him, "Alright, don't say any more."
"But......" The rabbit met Esther's calm eyes as he looked up, swallowing the words behind him as he clenched his fists hard.
Esther took the rabbit's hand, "Do you still live where you used to stay?"
"Hmm."
As soon as the rabbit's voice fell, he felt a flash in front of him, and by the time he regained his footing, the two of them were already standing in the room that Esther had left for him.
The rabbit scratched his head, but before he could say anything, Esther patted the boy on the shoulder, "In the future, you may really have to rely on yourself."
She glanced at the crow that was clinging to her shoulder, and although she was looking around the house, she peeked at the rabbit with her spare eyes, and smiled, "And this guy, he really has nothing to fear."
"Huh?" The crow turned her head to the side dissatisfied, no longer pretending to be distracted.
Ignoring the crow's questioning, Esther continued to say to the rabbit, "As long as I'm alive, you have no reason to be hurt."
The rabbit pursed his lips again, as if someone had sewn his lips with a needle and thread.
The crow, however, was pleased by the look on the boy's face, and looked away again, looking at the only small window in the room, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You can leave me alone." The rabbit whispered.
Esther looked at him quietly for a moment, and with a gentle smile, she didn't say anything, but raised her hand and tapped the boy's forehead.
The boy who wanted to say anything more gradually became empty in his eyes.
Esther stole the memories of his experiences and very decisively made him forget about this trivial thing.
"It really doesn't look like something you'd do." Raven commented.
"yes, that's more like what Zoya would do."
When the crow heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Esther dragged the rabbit, who had not yet recovered, and asked the boy to sit down on the edge of the bed.
She glanced at the child one last time, and had a premonition that this would be the last time she would see him.
Closing her outstretched right hand, Esther's figure disappeared along with the crow on her shoulder.
