The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Day 606.

The attack of the Ether Court became more and more fierce, and the situation of the Tower of Babel began to get worse and worse. I am not good at creating pure violence, and the development of mass-produced floating guns is probably the last resort to maintain Ivora's protection for half a year to a year.

Does this mean that Anser might have to return to the imperial capital? I can't just sit there and watch the Tower of Babel collapse. I hope that I can do everything well outside. No, she can definitely do everything well.

On my side, I should be able to advance to the fourth level in half a year. Anser treated me too well... He did not prevent me from advancing to the extraordinary level, but there were still restrictions on alchemical tools, which limited all my current creations to fantasy, which was too fatal.

Props that cannot guarantee stability cannot be used. After I get out, I will need more time to turn what I have accumulated in these three years into actual strength.

Anser...will you give me this time?

Seven hundred and twenty-third day.

I hadn't seen Anser for almost two years. I thought of him not because I was lonely, but because I was worried about his current state. Compared to me, he had spent two years alone in more unbearable pain... What had he experienced? What changes had taken place? Was his obsession alleviated, or had it sunk deeper?

...I don't seem to be worried about his free time now. Using this perspective to understand myself day and night, I can see too many things clearly. I have also fallen into a more cold and indifferent mindset. What's more dangerous is that whether it is the me outside or the me here, I know myself, but... I don't intend to change.

The only difference between Ansel and me is self-knowledge. In other aspects... there is really no difference.

The good news is that this kind of me must fit the image of the inhumane me in Anser's mind. As long as nothing unexpected happens, Anser will not doubt that me. But the bad news...

The bad news is that if this continues, one day, I will truly mechanically and coldly put Anser on the scale to measure his value.

I will truly become that image in his eyes.

Try to solve Anser's problem before you fall into that kind of indifference.

I don’t want to change, but Ansel…does he not want to change, or is he unable to change?

Day 868.

I already have a concrete concept of the third stage of mechanical equipment, and these secret books have helped me a lot. In terms of knowledge reserves alone, the me here and the me outside are already very different, and we are not on the same level.

After solving Anser's problem, I can start preparing for the arrival of great changes. As long as Anser's problem is solved, the arrival of the new world is only a matter of time.

...You are so utilitarian. You are really becoming the person that Ansel hates little by little, Ming Furo.

Rather, why don't you have the slightest idea of ​​using him? He has only been with you for less than a year, yet you are willing to do this for him.

Is Anser really that important? I asked myself, and the answer was obvious.

How could I possibly stay in this cold, dark basement for three years, risking schizophrenia and watching myself do things every day, just for someone who was insignificant and disposable?

No matter how utilitarian, Anser is an absolutely important person, Ming Furo.

The nine hundredth day.

Only after leaving Anser did I realize how difficult creation is.

As an outsider, I can clearly feel the pressure I have been under in the past two years.

It's not just about talent... it's about the gap in thinking. I can't communicate with these people on the same level.

Being completely out of touch, I could see the surrounding environment and current situation more clearly, which made me doubt——

The Tower of Babel, does it really have a specific purpose?

As the carrier of grandpa's will and the pioneer of the future, can the Tower of Babel... and the people who make up the Tower of Babel really shoulder this heavy responsibility?

Apart from Hendrick and his group, are there really pioneers here who are determined to forge ahead and open up a new world?

Even Hendrick and the others seemed to...

No... I must be overthinking it. Being too independent will bring more unnecessary thoughts. I have grown up very well outside, but... I have to pay a price inevitably.

Making a choice in person is a thousand times more difficult than when I am just watching from the sidelines. She seems to be even more cold-blooded and decisive than I am now.

Day nine hundred and fifty-six.

The framework that Anser put on me at that time now seems so... correct?

I have indeed become an extremely rational and indifferent person, and the me outside knows this and has no intention of stopping.

Growing up in that environment, I did become like this, the person that Anser could not accept the most, a person who could even abandon friends in order to realize his grandfather's ideals. If it were the me outside now... two years ago, I probably would not have considered so many of Anser's problems.

But as I watched all this, I found it difficult to accept the person I was outside.

After all... it is determined by the choice you make yourself?

I was just a bystander and did not personally participate in the process of my gradual transformation. When the "consensus" between her and I reached a certain limit, I could no longer recognize her.

I actually don’t recognize myself anymore.

Day nine hundred and eighty-seven.

I found the reason, the real reason why there was such a split between me and myself.

Because Anser is no longer with me, that's all.

If Anser was still by my side, if he and I were still friends, if we were still heading in that direction together, then I would never become... the person I am outside.

It turns out that without Ansel's company, not only creation, but even life has become so difficult... I have to make so many choices, so many forced choices, just to be able to move one step further on the narrow, long road of pursuing my ideal.

If I had more choices outside, I would never become the person I am now that even I don’t recognize... But she doesn’t, and neither does Babel Tower.

It is not until now that I understand that Ansel has never been just a companion and friend to me, and the help he has brought me has never been limited to bringing me closer to my ideal.

He cares about me and takes care of me... He has saved me from so much trouble, so that I don't have to worry or be bothered, and I don't have to make the dilemma of sacrificing something in order to achieve something.

He understands me so well, understands what I want to do and what I need, and he always gives me the best answer at the right time.

He makes me... more like a real person.

So that's why I have stayed here for so many days but never had any regrets.

It's not just because I want to solve Anser's problem, but because... Anser is so important to me, he is the only one in my life who is absolutely irreplaceable.

I can't lose him.

Anser, where are you now, are you doing well?

I miss you.

Day one thousand and eighty-seven.

Three years have passed quickly, and there is still no news about Ansher. I have given up chasing Ansher and the reason for the breakup.

She has invested everything she has into the research. With her current state of mind, if she had the same conditions as me, maybe she could surpass me in just one year, but is it really worth it?

This is when I had spent some time with Anser. If I hadn't spent that time with Anser, what would I have become?

Anser...

One thousand one hundred and twenty-one days.

Finally... I finally heard the news about Anser. He found his first bond-holder in the North, a bond-holder with such extraordinary talent that he could bear the power of two bond-holders.

Xitana Lancemalos... How did Anser find her? I checked so many files outside, and in the end it turned out that she was just a village girl. This situation... is exactly the same as mine.

My guess, is it correct?

No matter what, I'm ready. If that girl can help you out, that would be great. But if she can't...

I will save you, Anser, trust me.

Day one thousand one hundred and thirty-seven.

You've grown taller and stronger, and look nothing like the kid you once were.

Is that girl lying on top of you Sitana? It seems like you really like her.

Are you holding her to the same standards you held me to at that time? Or... have you changed in other ways in these three years? I hope you have gotten out of that endless quagmire a little bit, I really hope so.

I miss you so much, Ansel, please don't leave me again.

Chapter 1: Ming Fuluo's Diary Part (w)

In order to facilitate the clarification of clues, the next recording time will be reset again.

I must be perfect in all aspects before I can find the source of the problem from the returning Ansher, confirm my guess, and the purpose of his actions.

There are many goals that need to be achieved. Anser may have grown to a point that I cannot see clearly in these three years, but I must succeed.

Ming Fuluo, even if he doesn't expect anyone to save him, you should still reach out to him, he is your friend.

Is the only one who can make you feel what it means to be alive.

*

first day.

The me outside immediately intercepted Anser who came to the imperial capital through the teleportation array... Unless it is an extremely sophisticated spell or prop that requires a powerful fourth-level or even fifth-level transcendent to control, otherwise in the entire empire... no one will be more dominant than me outside.

Under the heavy pressure, my talent was further stimulated, but even so, she was far from being my current opponent.

She first angrily complained to Anser that her countless attempts to contact him had all fallen on deaf ears, and then she used the Qi Shou as a starting point to test Miss Hitana who was beside him.

...Did Anser see it? If it was him three years ago, he probably wouldn't have seen it.

No matter what Anser is like, I can't see him clearly now. The smile on his face is... so different from before.

It's like wearing a mask.

I, as an outsider, might not be unaware of Anther's changes, but three years of pent-up anger and hatred made her look at Anther with tinted glasses, just like how Anther looked at me three years ago.

Using his face to receive the bombardment of the floating cannon and remaining unscathed... Is the strength of the Qi Shou so incredible? Or is it the power of Miss Xitana herself? According to Anser's personality, I am more inclined to the latter.

He would not choose someone who needs to rely on the power of Qishou to reach such a height. The Qishou he chooses must be destined to reach a high place. The power of Qishou is just a step forward for them... just like me.

Strength... Anser first chose the intuitive strength aspect. Why? He should not have any desire for strength.

The fact that he found me first shows that he needs a leader with strong comprehensive abilities.

His choice of Qi Shou was by no means random or accidental, which means... choosing Xitana after me was part of Anser's plan.

Is there any reason why Anser must choose Xitana?

Regardless, judging from her strength alone, she is indeed qualified to be the leader of the violence. The model built from the data collected during the first encounter is already incredibly powerful.

...I went to see Anser again outside? Yes, I forgot. She was not in any mood to help Anser now, so naturally she would not analyze Anser's reaction after this meeting... She found Anser simply to make a deal.

She doesn't care about Anser that much anymore... The missing memories are indeed too crucial. If I hadn't known Anser at that time, I would never have truly realized how important Anser was to me, and Anser's...dilemma.

But this is the best situation, this is who I am in Ansel's eyes.

And even so, she still had some thoughts in her heart that Anser had not completely given up.

Even though I am blinded by fate and have lost my memory, I still hope that Ansher will return to me.

...You have to take responsibility, Anser.

Fourth day.

Anser released the news that he wanted to visit the Ether Courtyard, and I was extremely angry about this outside.

This was undoubtedly Anser's trap. I had thought of this possibility, but she really suspected that... Anser was trying to connect with the Ether Institute.

As a victim of repeated assassinations by the Ether Institute in the past three years, she obviously hated the Ether Institute more than I, a bystander.

Moreover, she had already lost her memory of that time, and therefore she further suspected that Ansel had completely betrayed my and his ideals and had fallen to the side of the Ether Court.

Sure enough, Anser made good use of this memory loss, but if I had continued to be in contact with him for a long time, I would definitely discover the vagueness and breakpoints in my memory.

What does he plan to do in this regard?

……

That's vicious, you little bastard.

Use the universal ether furnace, which is related to the core of everything, to make me, who is already suspicious of you, completely lose control and act rashly. Then let the magic eye Sauron, who is good at soul magic, stuff the soul into this puppet.

In this way, based on "soul damage", there is a perfect reason for the vagueness and blankness of memory.

I, who don't know the whole story, still hope that you will change your mind, but have you become so cruel?

No, I can't think like that. According to what happened three years ago, and according to what Ansel saw, it was me who made him so cruel. It was me who ignored our friendship and abandoned him in the final decision.

At that time, he might have been suffering from pain that I could not imagine.

...Now that I think about it, was I also in a state of paranoia? Perhaps if I confessed directly to Anser, I could still touch the remaining softness in his heart, just like if Anser confessed to me, I would definitely help him.

But neither he nor I did that, nor did we even think that way. This is indeed...

Damn fate.
