I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

In the Space-Time Courtyard, Precia, who had not been so excited for a long time, was walking around the courtyard anxiously. This was the first time she had felt this excited for more than ten years.

Priscilla felt as if she had returned to the time when she first met Alicia. At that time, she was still a member of the Space-Time Administration, and Alicia was just a newborn baby. However, it was this wrinkled little life that made Priscilla feel for the first time that life was full of light.

"Alicia! Mommy can finally see you again!"

Precia looked like a madman, her eyes, which were bloodshot from years of staying up late, were tinged with red, a trace of blood quietly slipped from the corners of her eyes, and her thin face made Precia look more like a skeleton.

"Ah...right."

Precia suddenly thought of something and summoned a mirror. She looked at her own face carefully, but found that she looked so miserable in the mirror.

"No, Alicia can't see me like this."

Precia said this and went back to her room, took out the cosmetics that she had never used until then, and began to apply them carefully on her face.

"Alicia, Mommy will face you in the best condition, my baby... cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted her words. She put down her hand that was covering her mouth, and a few bloodstains appeared on her hand. However, she did not care because this was not the first time.

"Alicia..."

Precia casually summoned the magic puppets in the space-time courtyard and commanded them to clean. Following Precia's actions, hundreds of magic puppets started cleaning the courtyard.

If an experienced person saw this scene, he would definitely beat his chest and curse the waste. Each of these magic puppets had the strength close to that of an A-level wizard. This strength was more than enough to conquer a world with underdeveloped technology. But now they were used to clean up. It was a waste. The magic puppets kept busy in the courtyard. Even Precia, the owner, cleaned her room. After only ten minutes, the dilapidated courtyard was cleaned up. The clean courtyard had a classical style.

Space Bobo appeared on time, and with the help of Elf, Xier and others came to Precia's courtyard.

As soon as she appeared, Elf was shocked by the scene in front of her. Although it was still shabby, the space-time courtyard at this time was much better. If the courtyard at this time was like a new land waiting to be redeveloped, then the previous courtyard was a shabby place that had been abandoned for a hundred years. In comparison, it was much better.

"Welcome to my garden."

Precia appeared in front of Xier like a ghost. Of course, everyone knew that this was just a small teleportation spell.

"It looks like you're in good shape."

Xier looked at Precia carefully at this moment. Although her eyes still revealed fatigue, her mental state was much better than before.

Precia did not answer Xi'er's words, her eyes were already attracted by Fate. Precia was very familiar with Fate, because Fate was like her second daughter, but of course Precia did not think so.

But when facing this person who was so familiar to her, Precia knew that Fate was no longer Fate.

"Alicia?"

She asked tentatively, and when the latter heard Precia's call, he immediately retracted his gaze from all around, jumped up and hugged Precia, and then shouted sweetly: "Mom!"

"Alicia..."

When Precia was called by Alicia, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled gently and said, "Welcome home."

What followed was a touching reunion. Xier didn't care too much about the interaction between mother and daughter because she discovered something more important.

(This little girl's condition is a little off...)

Xier carefully observed Alicia who was having a touching reunion. Although she couldn't put it into words, Xier felt that Alicia's movements were a little hesitant, like a child who was hiding something from her parents. However, since Xier didn't know Alicia, she couldn't determine what she was hiding.

"How is this going?"

Although Xier discovered the abnormality, she couldn't tell whether it was what she thought. Moreover, the most important problem has not been solved yet, which is what kind of existence Fate is.

Although I initially thought that Fate was a clone of Alicia, why did Precia give Fate intelligence? The answer to all this can only wait for Precia's answer.

The interaction between mother and daughter didn't last long, as Precia still remembered the deal she had made.

"What do you want?"

Finding an excuse to push Alicia aside, Precia brought Seele to her secret laboratory. She turned and looked at the silent Seele.

"What do you say?"

Xi'er asked back, she first looked at Precia's reaction.

"Although I really want to set a trap here, I think even a trap would be useless, right? Alicia's life is in your hands. If I have any ill intentions..."

Precia turned her head and glanced at Alicia on the screen beside her without saying anything.

"Smart!" (Hey, luckily she doesn't know I didn't do anything...)

Xier clapped her hands, pretending that she had this ability.

"You said you wanted Fate. Can I know why?"

Precia glanced at Xi'er and asked, "I'm curious, why would you want a clone if you have this ability?"

(Is it really a clone?)

Xier finally confirmed her guess after listening to Precia's words, but she asked in return: "Then why did you make a clone like Fate?"

"..."

Precia was stunned by the question, then she said helplessly: "Then do you want to hear my story?"

"All ears"

"After I lost Alicia, I almost went crazy and tried every possible way to bring Alicia back to life. After trying many methods to no avail, I came up with a forbidden plan."

"Fate Plan?" Xier thought of the name that was mentioned in the information.

"Oh, it was really thoroughly investigated."

When Precia saw her secret was revealed, she did not panic. Instead, she said calmly, "Yes, it is the Fate Plan. I hope to revive Alicia through this plan. I extracted Alicia's cells and cultivated a new body, and then transferred Alicia's memory to the new body."

"Oh?"

"But something went wrong with the experiment. Although the newborn Alicia survived, all her memories were distorted."

Precia couldn't help but clench her palms when she said this, obviously the failure at that time was still fresh in her memory.

"All of the subject's knowledge about Alicia has been changed, as if Alicia had never existed, but everything else is the same. She remembers everything that Alicia and I have experienced, but Alicia's existence is missing from her memory."

Precia's expression changed, and she continued, "I also thought about getting along with her and tried to treat her as Alicia. But! After living with her for a while, I found that she is completely different from Alicia. Even though she has Alicia's memories, she is completely different from Alicia!"

Precia's eyes showed a sad look, and she said in a slightly crazy tone: "What I want is Alicia, just Alicia is enough! But her existence makes me know that Alicia is gone, how can I allow this."

“So I named her Fate to distinguish her from Alicia.”

Xier listened quietly to Precia's words without saying a word, just silently looking at this mother who was crazy because of love.

"I think you know the rest."

Precia finished her story, and her expression returned to calm, as if the crazy her just now did not exist.

"Are you worried that Fate has replaced Alicia in your heart?"

Xier's words made Precia stunned, and then she denied it: "No, from the moment she was no longer Alicia, she was just a doll, a substitute, and nothing in my heart."

"Okay, whatever you say is what's going on."

Xier didn't say anything. She had already seen through Precia at this moment: a pathetic soul living in the past, like some stubborn conservatives who were unwilling to accept new changes. But Xier also saw something else in her.

"So the deal is done?"

Precia asked anxiously. She just wanted to be with Alicia now.

“This issue is still under discussion.”

Xier looked at Alicia, who had a thoughtful expression on the screen, and spoke slowly.

"What do you mean!"

"Nothing, it's just that I've changed my mind now. I don't want Fete anymore. I want the entire Fete plan now."

"what!"

Precia was stunned. Why did this girl suddenly change her mind? Did she have a new plan?

Xier looked at Precia and said, "Don't think too much. It's just a small change. It won't affect the deal between us, right?"

"How is it? Deal?" Xier said with a poker face. Precia had no idea what she was planning.

"Deal. Once the deal is done, Fate will hand it over to you."

After thinking for a while, Precia agreed to Seele's request. To her, the Fate plan was no longer necessary, so it was not a bad idea to leave it to Seele.

"Very good, but now I suggest you pay attention to your daughter. It seems that something interesting is about to happen."

Xier said mysteriously that she felt something changed in Fate.

And Alicia on the screen seemed to confirm her words. She suddenly summoned the lightning axe, rushed out of the room and flew towards a certain place in the courtyard.

"Alicia? Why…"

Precia looked at Alicia's actions in confusion, totally not understanding what she was going to do, but when she saw the direction Alicia left, she screamed in horror.

"There is!"

Chapter 17 Alicia's Wish

"There is!"

Precia screamed, the place Alicia was heading to was a place she had never told anyone about, why would she go in that direction.

"It looks like something went wrong..."

Xier frowned. The development of things was a little beyond her imagination. She had no idea what Alicia was thinking at the moment.

"What is that place?"

Xier asked in a serious tone. Judging from Precia's nervous expression, it must be a very important place.

"That is……"

Precia paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "That's where Alicia's body is."

"Where is she going and what is she doing?"

"do not know……"

Precia was also panicked at this time. She could feel that it was Alicia who was controlling Fate at this time, but she didn't know why Alicia wanted to go to that place.

"Ms. Xi'er, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Precia no longer cared about Xier. She waved her hands downwards and a complex magic circle appeared out of thin air. She did not need the assistance of any magic device at all. Precia completed the complex magic circle on her own. This is the strength of an S-class wizard.

Seeing Priscilla disappear in the room, Xier was stunned, and then she turned into a group of butterflies and flew out of Priscilla's room.

——————————————————————————————————————

"Is this the place? Let's get started, Barudishu."

"Yes, my lord"

At this time, Alicia was standing in front of a wall with the Lightning Axe in her hand. She looked at the wall which was empty and reached out to touch it. Then she switched to the melee mode of the Lightning Axe and chopped it on the wall.

Although the wall was very thick, it was still not immune to being hit by the lightning axe at such a close distance. The entire wall collapsed under this powerful blow, revealing the hidden room inside. Without paying any attention to the smoke and dust around her, Alicia stepped over the ruins of the wall and walked into the depths of the room.

Passing by the incubators and various experimental instruments, Alicia came straight to a huge incubator. In this huge incubator was floating a girl, or rather a girl's corpse.

"Oh, it's a bit embarrassing to look at myself like this..."

Alicia saw her body floating naked in the nutrient solution and scratched her cheek shyly.

"Alicia!"

Just then, Precia's voice called out from behind Alicia, and Alicia turned around and looked at her mother with a smile.

"Alicia..."

Precia looked at her daughter who was still smiling and felt a little scared for some reason. She had always been a good mother in front of Alicia, but now all her sins were exposed in front of her daughter, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know everything..."

Alicia's words were shocking, but seeing how calm she was, everyone knew she was not lying.

"How could it be! Alicia, you are not..."

Precia screamed. Alicia had clearly...

"I would have died a long time ago, wouldn't I?"

Alicia was no longer acting at this point, she turned around and stroked the incubator containing her body with a bit of sadness.

"Sure enough, you were acting before?"

Xier also rushed over at this time and pulled up the confused Elf.

"That's right, Sister Xier? I don't know if I should call you sister. I was less than ten years old when I died, but now more than ten years have passed. How old should I be..."
