1708 Is that Okay?
"Not...real...?"
Emilia murmured such words in a daze.
"That's right."
Fang Li affirmed it.
It wasn't a lie to cheer up Emilia.
Fang Li really thinks so.
Because, when I was pulled into her dream by Echidna, I clearly said that the scene of the conversation, the forbidden library, was randomly reproduced based on Fang Li's memory thing.
That being the case, the trial in the cemetery probably has the same principle.
Taking the memory of the person who participated in the trial as the standard, the past in memory is reproduced, forcing the participants to face their own past, so as to come up with some kind of answer.
This should be the composition of the first trial.
But…
"However, you said that you have forgotten the past, and the memory of the past is very hazy, so how did you reproduce your past from your memory?"
Fang Li analyzed it calmly.
"Is it excavated from the depths of your heart? Shouldn't it be?"
Memory is inherently vague.
People sometimes forget unnecessary memories, but that does not mean that necessary memories will not be forgotten.
People sometimes engrave important memories in their hearts, but they also choose to gradually forget them.
Since Index herself is a person with full memory ability, and was hunted down by the Puritans because of memory problems, and her memory was erased several times, Fang Li's understanding of human memory is not small.
In a word, Fang Li believes that the process of recreating Echidna's trial from the past is not so complete.
Take the Forbidden Bookstore as an example, if it is really extracted from Fang Li's memory and reproduced, it cannot be too real.
After all, Fang Li will remember the appearance, layout and decoration of the forbidden library, but he will never remember how many books are in the forbidden library and what is in the book.
If I casually reproduce the scene of the forbidden library like this,
That would just cause a very big sense of disobedience.
Once that sense of disobedience stimulates Fang Li's memory, even if Fang Li doesn't remember it, he will never feel real.
But if it is unreal, the trial itself will also become unreal. The sense of disobedience that people feel when facing the past in memory is enough to make almost everyone subconsciously find something is wrong, and finally break away from the dream.
In that case, the trial would have no meaning for existence.
Therefore, Fang Li believes that the reproduced past is not completely real.
"The missing part may be supplemented by Echidna's knowledge, or by the records in the book of wisdom in her hands, or it may even be something Echidna created at will based on her own ideas. .”
Fang Li did not hesitate to tell the truth about the witch who ignores other people's feelings and only wants to get results to satisfy her own curiosity, for which she can trample on everything.
"Based on the degree of favorability that person has for you, even if you add something to your trial, or delete something, so as to increase the sense of terror, make your trial completely fail, and frustrate your heart, that's not right. Nothing is possible."
Fang Li was not belittling Echidna for no reason, but a very considerable evaluation.
Anyway, Fang Li told Echidna directly that he was fascinated by Emilia.
At that time, Echidna's reaction was unprecedentedly strong. Not only did she have a strong hatred for Emilia, but she even expanded the possessive desire in the other party to the limit, and finally made a throwing gesture. Hug and conquer by force are both soft and hard methods.
Therefore, Fang Li had no doubt that Echidna would intentionally do something about it when she saw Emilia participating in the trial.
Not to mention, Fang Li was by Emilia's side at that time, accepted the trial together with Emilia, and faced the past together.
During that process, Fang Li participated in Echidna's tea party again, and made a speech in favor of Emilia, which aroused Echidna's displeasure.
Then, it is not impossible for Echidna to change the scene of the trial and affect Emilia because of her impulsiveness.
Even for Echidna, satisfying curiosity is the first rule, but only when facing Emilia, this rule will be subverted.
In other words, Echidna did not have any expectations for Emilia.
I don't expect her to pass the trial, nor do I expect her to satisfy my curiosity, and I don't expect the answers and results that Emilia can get during the trial process. I just blindly reject Emilia.
Under such circumstances, it is surprising that Emilia can qualify for the trial.
But maybe that was also Echidna's purpose to torture Emilia's heart?
Fang Li didn't know what the truth was.
But there is only one thing, Fang Li can be sure of it.
"The past you see may not be all real."
Fang Li is so sure.
"Of course, that doesn't mean that everything is false."
This is also because the past that Fang Li saw was real.
As for Emilia, without knowing Emilia's past, Fang Li couldn't say for sure.
but…
"If it's just an unreal illusion, I don't think it will cause you such great terror."
Fang Li looked directly at Emilia's amethyst-like eyes, and said so.
"Your past, even if it is not exactly the same as what the trial reveals, it must be similar... sin..."
———“Sin”.
This word pierced deeply into Emilia's heart.
"I…"
Emilia was dazed and helpless again.
Seeing Emilia's appearance like this, Fang Li's words suddenly changed.
"Okay, it's useless to think too much now, anyway, you can have a good rest tonight."
Saying this, Fang Li pressed Emilia on the bed just like when Rem treated him before.
"Don't think about the trial, get a good night's sleep, and talk about the rest when you get up tomorrow."
After speaking, Fang Li was ready to prop up his body and leave.
"etc…"
However, before Fang Li could leave, a hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Don't go..."
Emilia's fragile voice came slowly.
"Stay with me, please..."
That is hope and pleading.
With Emilia's current mental state, it's not hard to imagine.
"I'm having a fever right now, it won't be good to infect you."
"It doesn't matter, I don't know if human diseases can be passed on to elves."
"But you're half-elf, aren't you? At least half-human?"
"..."
Emilia didn't speak any more, but she didn't let go. It seemed that she was unwilling to compromise.
Fang Li sighed suddenly.
"Just stay with you?"
"If possible, I hope you can sleep with me..."
"I'm dizzy now, maybe I'll touch something I shouldn't touch later, and that's okay?"
"Does Fang Li want to touch me?"
"...I'll just say it casually..."
Otherwise, if Silvia suddenly came back later, Fang Li would really suffer.
