Randomly pick a stand-in every day

"No, you're doing fine."

Raleigh saw the little doctor's confusion, and stepped forward to pat her head.This is the right thing to do. In the realm of consciousness, they have no reason to repeat the tragedy in reality.

"...I don't even know about it."

Beside everyone, the white Carters appeared here at some point, looking at the dragon girl and Xiaolu in the distance: "I really should have known her earlier, I just think of her as an ordinary teacher..."

Those two seemed to be unable to see the people on this side. After looking around to no avail, Tallulah put Alina on her back again and ran towards the village excitedly.

"...Yeah, you should get to know her, maybe everything will be different."

Raleigh no longer had any surprises about the appearance or disappearance of these figures, and the strengthened Grim Reaper could even make further distinctions. For example, now he clearly felt that the Frost Star in front of him was not an afterimage, but a real soul.

"I've always been unwilling to believe that Tallulah was deceiving us, and that's what I can't let go of."

Frost Star gave a brief explanation of the reason for her appearance, but then she noticed a figure with a strange expression:

"Speaking of which... Dad, what are you doing! Why are you carrying a hot water bottle?"

Reaper 13: "Huh?"

Reaper tilted his head, holding the kettle to express his doubts.

"……I'm here."

Then at this moment, Patriot's voice came from behind Frost Star, and the authentic Wendigo fighter also arrived here.

--------

PS: Patriot and Frost Star were the ones who didn't find the "Black Snake" in the end, so they couldn't understand Tallulah's changes, and they didn't want to believe that she was a liar.

Alina is the only one who knows the curse of the black snake, but she lacks the strength to protect herself...

Chapter 123 The Fairy Tale That Existed

"I am here."

Just when Frost Star had some misunderstandings due to the appearance of "Reaper 13 Raleigh Edition", the Patriot really came out, and the white rabbit looked back in fright, and was caught between two deer-headed giants. Overwhelmed.

What the hell, my dad split up?

Ignoring his daughter's strange brains that can be figured out quickly, Patriot looked at the new-looking Grim Reaper, and his mood didn't seem to fluctuate much.

"The helmet I gave...is it used here?"

"Sorry, unauthorized use."

"No, it's already given to you, which is very good."

Not dissatisfied with Raleigh's actions, the Patriot looked in the direction Tallulah was leaving, and sighed rarely.

"I didn't expect it to be like this..."

He entrusted his trust to Tallulah, but was betrayed afterwards, so when he faced those people in Rhodes Island, he didn't believe what they said; but he never knew the truth about the drastic change in Tallulah's temperament , I don't know until the end.

In fact, the inner guards he met that day had vaguely reminded him, but the patriots didn't take it to heart - even if he lived for 200 years, he still didn't know enough about the land of Ursus, and he never expected the so-called "immortality" What is the concept...

"So... She just couldn't hold on after this incident?"

Frost Star looked at the burn marks left on the snow. The hatred in these fire marks was so strong that she had really underestimated the impact of this incident on Tallulah.

"No, she's not that vulnerable."

However, Patriot shook his head and vetoed his daughter's conjecture: "She must have held back on her own, insisted on continuing to fight, and did not really lose to the curse until a long time later... at a certain time."

Having said that, the patriot realized that besides trusting and protecting him, he seemed to have forgotten to care more about Tallulah; even now that he knew about the black snake, in retrospect, he couldn't even be sure when that change happened .

"...the turning point happened in a village."

After thinking for a while, Raleigh intervened in the conversation, while the Avenger just listened silently. All this was unknown to him, and it was exactly what he was looking for.

"I don't know the specific cause and effect, but she was alone at that time, and no one could pull her out of control."

This answer is not very detailed, but it is probably enough for the parties to understand.

"...If I knew this, I should have talked to her more. She didn't tell me at all?"

Frost Star clenched her fists, if Tallula was willing to tell her about the Black Snake, she would definitely be able... maybe?

She never knew that Tallulah was carrying such a heavy burden in her heart.After Alina left, what kind of pressure did she continue to lead the team with?

"...Maybe, it's not too late now."

Patriot let out a few hoarse breaths, his mood seemed to fluctuate, and then pointed in the direction where Tallulah and Alina left.

"Are we... going there?"

Frost star hesitated, it was a dream there, even if she saw Tallulah from there, it could only be regarded as one of her subconscious minds in her dream, even if she talked to her, she would basically forget everything when she woke up... …

"Go ahead and talk to her."

The patriot repeated, pulling a broken amulet from under his armor.

"I……"

At this moment, Frost Star understood what his father meant—they were already dead.

They will appear here at this time only because they have unresolved doubts in their hearts, but this obsession is not very strong. Even if they want to do other things now, it will be difficult for them as souls...

They couldn't keep up with the team of Raleigh and others, and with only a little obsessive soul left, they couldn't walk into the depths of the empire of consciousness.

"...If that's the case, then I'll give you this."

After struggling with many thoughts in his heart for a while, Frost Star walked up to Raleigh and handed out his broken amulet.

"This?"

"Accept it, haven't you already taken my candy? Then we are more or less acquaintances."

Shuang Xing smiled: "Take my share and go to the finish line to have a look."

It should be quite a big deal for a girl to give away the accessories that she carries close to her body; however, she is already a ghost, so there is no need to care about those, right?

"...Ha, to be honest, I wish I could see you earlier."

Taking the talisman from the White Rabbit, Raleigh wanted to give her a smile back, but it turned into an ugly wry smile.

"That's right. In that case, maybe we can become friends; but depending on the occasion, we may not be as familiar as we are now... Don't worry too much about it."

"Ah, I understand..."

Just talking about it, he also knows that there are not so many good things in Terra.

"...Well, I'll leave this too."

Seeing his daughter's actions, Bojokasti took the amulet of the same style in his hand and walked up to the Avengers.

"Soldier, take this and march for me."

"It will not be humiliated."

"This is not an instruction, but a blessing. You have to go on according to your own will and implement your own beliefs."

"……it is good."

In this way, the final gift was completed, and Wendigo and White Rabbit were about to bid farewell to everyone.They didn't disappear suddenly, but walked away very normally, looking for the dragon girl and Xiaolu who had gone away before, and said something they had missed.

Before leaving, the Patriot whispered something to Raleigh one last time beside Raleigh:

"You are not a soldier, and you have no responsibility to do anything for us. Just do what you want, no matter what you choose, no one will blame you."

It seems that the experienced Wendigo has seen through the entanglement in his heart and his immaturity.

That's true, a novice is brought to the front of the plot that looks like the final ending within two days of the start, and proficiency is called a ghost; but Daddy, don't you know that listening to such words will only make people more reluctant to let go...

Watching the father and daughter leave dumbfoundedly, Raleigh put away the talisman, and looked at the ring he picked up in the basket:

[Golden Ring Ornament]

Effect: Hope +10

"Legends say that divine deer have horns that symbolize sunlight and can resist darkness. They are often regarded as wise men and guides, able to lead people in the right direction; however, holy deer are not creatures with great power, except for the function of guidance , they are often powerless to stand alone against evil"

Items with valuable meanings are accumulating in the backpack, but this form of harvest...is really not happy.

"Huh? What is this for?"

Before Raleigh could finish his emotion, the Avenger suddenly handed a red silk scarf to his eyes, which made him startled.

"It's... a token. I officially recognize you as a token of my companion."

Red Knife pointed to the strap on his arm, indicating that it was the same as the one handed to Raleigh.

"Are you only admitting it now! Zuo, yes, you didn't succeed in retreating with the props..."

In that case, does he have to return the gift with something meaningful?But there's nothing I can send out with my own things on hand...

(recoil cannon, lame walking stick, tea pot grenade, etc.)

"Is it the gift-giving session now? Then Xiao Ke will also send a very hot knife to Brother Luo Li!"

"Why are you here to join in the fun... Fuck! The handle is hot!"

Up to now, this team that was put together by chance seems to have become quite harmonious.

"By the way, why is Grandpa the imitator so quiet all of a sudden?"

"Ah... because I don't understand what role to play?"

Gray Potato, who was holding the quack doctor's happy gun all the way, looked at the sky blankly, feeling that he had accepted a fake script.

PS: The BOSS battle is about to end, and this volume will end within the scheduled 60 chapters. It seems that the standard is not exceeded, um.

Three consecutive nodes are safe without fighting, and the final level is still short of the end.

According to common sense, at this time, it should be staged to persuade teammates who have little to do with this matter to leave, so as to prevent them from being involved in a dangerous plot, and then everyone firmly expresses their awareness and must face difficulties together—however, the Empire of Consciousness is really Unlike traditional occasions, even if you suggest that your teammates avoid risks here, where can they go?
