Cesare's brain twitched again, and the man standing on the ceiling flickered a few times, and the hallucinations disappeared again and again.

"You're not really Claudius...... Can you stop bothering me......"

When he realized that the hallucinations were gone, Cesare's voice became weak, and he sometimes couldn't tell if he was really talking to the hallucinations or if it was just a comatose dream.

"Think of it as your own whims, Cesare." As he spoke, Claudius' hallucinations walked up and down the roof again.

"At that time, I was still following a group of gods, and the male owner of a farmer went to a far place, so I sneaked into his house to steal something valuable, only to be discovered by his wife who stayed at home......"

Claudius held out his hand as he spoke, and the blood slowly fell "tick-tock" down his fingernails, dripping from the roof onto the ground and then disappearing.

"I strangled the woman, fearing that someone would find her, so I threw her into their pigsty and fed the carcass to the pigs, and for many days after that...... As soon as I fell asleep, I could dream that the woman was staring at me and laughing, and I panicked when I laughed......"

Suddenly, Claudius clenched his fists, and the dripping blood came to an abrupt halt.

"Until I kill the second man... The third person, I no longer fear the dead, I understood that life is precious but other people's lives have nothing to do with me, and then I dreamed of the woman I was the first to kill.

In a dream...... I strangled her to death again, and her eyes looked at me with the same fear as before, and I never dreamed of her again. ”

Cesare ignored it, as the illusion himself said, these could not have been Claudius's real experiences, they were just some fantasies that he had generated in his struggle with the infection in his body...... None of them are real, and sooner or later they will disappear......

Claudius' apparition leaped slightly, and his body fell off the roof, his straight body and head down, passing Cesare's eyes in an instant, and falling straight into the floor.

Looking around, just as Cesare was glad that the hallucination had finally disappeared, Claudius's voice suddenly came from behind Cesare.

"Prayer to God cannot remove sin, and the only way to get rid of the torment of conscience is to make yourself more cruel."

Claudius bent over Cesare's body, and like a ghost, he passed directly through Cesare and turned back to meet Cesare's eyes.

"Do you know why you're always being cheated on Cesare? Because your heart just seems cold, you mistake kindness for a universal human nature, and trusting others is essentially a lie about yourself.

The trajectory of fate must be controlled by yourself, and the first trick to keep the coin heads up is not to let someone else toss the coin for you. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say......" Cesare's impatience was reaching its limit, and he would go crazy if he continued to talk to the illusion like this.

"I just want to say that the little maid named Ilona will not be coming back, you know, the count you know never leaves the castle, and if she really did go to find the count, she should have come back a long time ago.

Or rather...... It's because she knows that the infection of your brother and sister is powerless, so she doesn't dare to come back and face you, so she throws you here to fend for herself. ”

"Ilona...... Not like that, she would have told me if she had known anything......" Cesare retorted weakly.

"yes, that little maid who always follows you, that playmate who will go along with whatever you do, think about how long it's been since you've seen her?

You know that people change over time. You've lived in this castle for so long, and your so-called family ......

The crows never told you who they really were, and now that girl is a member of the crows, she can't be trusted. ”

Claudius's eyes smiled slightly, and she walked gently towards the cell door.

"You've got to get out of here, Cesare, you've got to go to the Count yourself, you can't wait any longer, before it's too late."

"Of course I want to leave!" Cesare struggled to shake the chains around his body. "It's simply impossible! Not even a bull can break free! ”

Claudius's shadow became more and more transparent, as if it was about to disappear completely in the next second, and his voice became as if it were nothing. "Nothing is completely impossible."

Claudius stopped as she was about to leave, and turned her head to look at the gleaming gold coin on the ground... Watch the coin lie there quietly and keep it face up.

He smiled weirdly and waved his hand, and the illusion completely dissipated into the darkness, as if nothing had just happened.

Cesare's headache had subsided a lot, and he felt like he had survived the most difficult part of the fever, and his brain was slowly becoming awake at this moment, but he still couldn't tell if it was a hallucination or a dream.

There was a sound of light footsteps outside the cell door, and Cesare's attention immediately followed, maybe Ilona had returned?

He stared at the locked cell door in the darkness, listening to the "click" of the key into the keyhole, but then ...... All he heard was the sound of the cell next door being opened.

Just when she was disheartened, the girl's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Good evening again, dear Cesare...... Schoolmate? Sorry to disturb, I seem to have gone wrong. ”

That familiar voice was undoubtedly Anya, which surprised and puzzled Cesareton, there was no way for the Hunyadi family to let her run around the castle, and how did she find here? And why does she have the key?

Isn't there a place in the world where this mad girl can be locked up?

It was the sound of the key unlocking again.

As the cell door slowly pushed open, the light from outside shone in and splashed on Cesare's face, and Cesare's eyes, which had long been accustomed to the darkness, were temporarily blinded by the light.

But in order to see Anya's appearance clearly, he still shook his head and tried to open his eyes.

The familiar red-haired girl stood in the light with one hand pinching her waist, and in the other hand she turned a large iron ring, which was full of keys of different sizes, and the blood on her ruddy face had long been washed away, leaving only a confident and happy smile.

The clear outline of Anya's body is reassuring, not an illusion, and both parties seem to let go of a hanging heart the moment they see each other.

"How did you ......?" Cesare was both curious and felt that this was nothing to Anya, this quirky guy was not something that ordinary people could handle.

Anya, on the other hand, just smiled happily, shook the key in her hand, and walked towards Cesare. "Anya Laurion will never die trapped somewhere, and if she does, she will die on the way to the next adventure."

As she spoke, Anya found the keyhole in the chain lock, and was about to try the keyring in her hand one by one, but looked at Cesare hesitantly.

"You won't eat me after I untie you, right?"

Anya's question also made Cesare hesitate for a moment, and he thought for a long time before finally confiding in him. "If I'm still hungry after being controlled by mycelium...... I'll let you run first. ”

Anya laughed out loud as she leaned over and gently touched the tip of Cesare's nose with a slight smile, as if to say that she would be there no matter what happened.

"Very well, welcome back to our adventures, Cesare-san."
