Chapter 1037, Section 1032: The Fairy's Wish

Marx and Engels asked ambiguously:
"Bottom line?"

The fairy girl nodded:

“That’s right, we appreciate your restraint. Sometimes you could easily kill innocent obstacles in your way, but you’re willing to spend more time taking a detour. I know some of your colleagues don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately either.”

"But that's often just because they're cautious. If killing is good for their job, they won't pass up the opportunity. But you seem different from them, although that's not exactly a compliment for your line of work..."

“But you seem to have a completely different bottom line than them, which is rare.”

Although he was completely unaware of the cause and effect, Marx and Engels still did not fully admit it:

"It's also possible that I'm just more cautious than they are."

The fairy girl smiled, a strange meaning seemingly in her eyes:

"That's possible, but that's enough for us. Even if you're doing it for your own reputation, you wouldn't secretly sell me to just any fairy collector."

"Moreover, we fairies have a saying: although you humans are very good at lying, your wishes will not lie."

"Because when you really want to make a wish, you can't pretend out of hypocrisy. Almost all humans release their most primal and repressed desires: wealth, power, lust..."

"But just now I had a feeling that you weren't lying to me."

Marx and Engels still did not admit it:

"Maybe I'm just very good at lying."

The fairy girl said with some surprise:
"That sounds like the truth."

Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels did not continue the topic, but instead asked:
Have you ever helped someone fulfill their wish?

The fairy girl instantly showed an excited expression:

"Of course, all fairies will grant the wishes of others. It is our nature. Just like some animals have the desire to reproduce, fairies have the instinct to grant wishes."

"If anyone is lucky enough to encounter a newborn fairy, they are often able to make a wish, because young fairies have a hard time resisting the urge to grant other people's wishes, but this is not necessarily a good thing."

"Because young fairies can easily misunderstand your wishes, and even if they mean well, it could lead to terrible consequences that you will regret for the rest of your lives."

Marne said:

"In other words, no matter who you make a wish to, there is always some risk involved."

She smiled a little shyly:
"Yes, because it is actually our nature to mess up our wishes. So the symbol of a fairy's maturity is that she can both control her impulse to fulfill her wishes and have a way to make her wishes come true."

"If you can do all that, you're considered a mature fairy."

Since fairies can't lie...

Marx and Engels suddenly asked curiously:
"Then would you be considered a mature fairy?"

The girl maintained her embarrassed expression.

"Me? I still have a lot to learn," Ma En said thoughtfully.

"So what wishes have you fulfilled? What are some that you're particularly satisfied with or like?"

"You really know how to ask questions." The girl looked nostalgic. "Let me think. I do have some wishes that I really like. When I first started out, I met a wisher who was driven by despair and hatred."

"His journey to find me was filled with bloodshed and death, but he wasn't a bad person. His entire family had been killed by the nobles of the time, so he wanted me to resurrect his family."

“I remember asking him if I wanted to help him get revenge, but he refused outright, saying that revenge is something that only makes sense if you do it yourself, and that he could handle it himself.”

"But as you know, the wish to resurrect the dead is not so simple. In most cases, it is achieved in some twisted and terrible way. This is not entirely because fairies like to play pranks."

"This is largely because even fairies would find it difficult to do such a thing, unless you preserve the soul well, or the person you are trying to resurrect hasn't been dead for more than a few days, in which case we might actually be able to resurrect the dead."

"But that guy's family had been dead for far too long, and their souls had been completely destroyed. In those days, it was common sense to destroy the soul when killing someone, so I couldn't really bring him back to life."

"So I did what some kind fairies would do, which was to make him a replica."

Marne said:

"But that's not his real wish, is it? To maintain such a wish, you have to see if they are careful about how they make their wishes, and you also have to make sure they don't question you."

"After all, you can't lie."

“But we can use vague language…” the fairy girl immediately replied, but then she paused before continuing, “And this kind of thing still depends on your ability.”

Marx and Engels asked:

"So you made more than one copy?"

She nodded with a proud look in her eyes:

"Of course, I put a lot of effort into making the replicas, and I was also observing the Avengers during the process, so I quickly came up with some ideas. First, I made them realistic enough to fool people."

"Moreover, I didn't do anything tampering with it. These replicas themselves felt like their real family members. And the most important thing was the moment your product was unveiled. I also made some preparations in advance, implanting quite suitable memories and emotions into them. I gave them a false memory."

"These replicas do not remember what happened before they died. On the contrary, in their memories, it is the surviving avenger who died, so they are still immersed in the grief of his passing."

"Moreover, in their memories, they wished to me to resurrect their family members, and I told them that I did not have the ability to bring them back to life, but I could send them to a world where they were still alive."

"So you can imagine the moment they met. The children were all silently shedding tears, while my wife was crying and throwing herself on him, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go."

"Of course, he must have realized the problem. These family members even have different memories from his own, but how could he possibly expose the lies in that emotional state?"
"How could he bear to tell his family that he was actually a fake? How could he tell himself that his family members were fake? And this hesitation at such a time gave me the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"The joy of meeting someone in the face of death, and the fear of the truth, ultimately enabled his wish to be fulfilled, and he himself had to do everything in his power to maintain the lie itself."

"This wish made me realize something very important. Although the Avenger's wish was to resurrect his original family, he ultimately succumbed to the replicas I provided."

"This shows that even if the fairies don't act according to your requests, you can still be satisfied with the results sometimes."
