This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"That's it..."

"But."

Alice smiled again, with an extremely aggressive look in her eyes, pinching Ye Yiyi's cheek and moving closer to her.

"But I haven't forgotten the experience of meeting someone, or the promise I made to them.

"What do you think about this, Yi Yi?"

"Uh... what can I say?" Ye Yiyi's eyes wandered. "Since you still remember your promise and are still alive, then go and fulfill it...

"...By the way, why is it called a curse spell?"

The oppressive feeling the other party gave him was too strong. Even Pisanzuo was not as strong as her. Ye Yiyi was not good at dealing with such a strong girl, so he had to try to change the subject.

"Curse magic..."

Alice looked thoughtful, and before Ye Yiyi could breathe a sigh of relief, the other party suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at her like a wolf.

"Look, you don't think I'm still the little girl who was easily fooled, do you?"

"..."

Ye Yiyi broke out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 196 [Birth of the Messiah]

Ye Yiyi felt that the situation was not good and cold sweat broke out on his body.

Alice's face was very close, her thin lips were curled in an inexplicable arc, and her warm breath hit his cheek.

The pair of dark eyes that looked at me from the side were filled with aggression that was not concealed at all.

It was like a powerful predator was staring at the prey under its claws, thinking about where to make the most appropriate move.

And Ye Yiyi is her prey.

"This... is a little bit bad."

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he tried hard to look away.

But Alice pinched his face with her fingers and forced him to face her.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"

The girl showed a subtle smile, and her eyes unscrupulously admired Ye Yiyi's expression.

The fingers that were pinching the soft flesh loosened slightly, and instead used the palm of his hand to caress the smooth side of the face, and lifted the smooth chin with his fingertips.

Then she asked a question filled with strange emotions.

"Yi Yi, why are you looking away and not daring to look at me?"

"Because you were too close..."

"Is that all?" Alice smiled and moved her face closer. "But why do I feel like you're afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid of what you might do. I'm just not used to such close contact."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips, suddenly struggled to free herself from the girl's arms that were around her neck, took a step to the side, and looked over warily.

"Alice wasn't like this before."

"But you also said that was in the past."

Alice stopped and looked at the hand that had been freed thoughtfully, the smile on her face slowly disappearing.

"For Yi Yi, that separation probably only happened... a few hours ago, right?"

"About the same." Ye Yiyi replied.

"Do you know how long that is for me?"

Alice raised her eyes calmly and stared at the other person, her dark pupils gradually becoming deeper.

"It's a full fifty years."

Before Ye Yiyi could say anything, she revealed the answer on her own.

"Fifty years? I always thought you had been waiting for me for ten thousand years..." Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

This was much less time than he had imagined.

Hearing this, Alice was slightly stunned, and suddenly she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Haha! Sure enough, these are the ideas that appear one by one. Ten thousand years, unless you are a little fairy who has no concept of time,

"Otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to hold on for that long."

"What do you mean even if it's you..." Ye Yiyi had an inexplicable expression.

"Because for ordinary humans, fifty years is a really, really long time."

The smile on Alice's face disappeared again, and she took a step towards Ye Yiyi with a gloomy expression.

"Do you understand how I feel, Yi Yi?"

"..."

Ye Yiyi noticed that Alice's mood was a little strange, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Are you avoiding me?"

Alice looked down at the other person who took a step back, her expression suddenly blank.

The dark eyes, so deep that they seemed to swallow up even the light, slowly raised their heads and looked into Ye Yiyi's eyes, who had a slightly frown on his face.

"Did I see it wrong? Yiyi? Were you just... hiding from me?"

"Gulu..."

Ye Yiyi looked at Alice's eyes that had lost their luster and swallowed silently.

This is no longer just abnormal. Alice's mood has become quite abnormal!

He silently switched the panel to the wizard, and used the wizard's "telepathy" intelligence feature to feel Alice's emotions and thoughts.

But the feedback he got left him a little confused.

"black"

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "black".

That was something Ye Yiyi couldn't understand, and it made him feel frightened and confused.

If Alice hadn't been standing right before his eyes, he might have mistaken the darkness for some new kind of stagnant curse.

What kind of experience does a person have to go through to have this level of darkness?

What kind of fifty years are the fifty years that Alice mentioned?

Or to put it another way, how many years did the war against the curse last?

Before Alice could ask the next question, he stepped forward and hugged the girl in his arms.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

These nine simple words are like dark clouds being broken apart, revealing warm sunshine.

Alice's stiff body softened at this moment, like ice melting.

The warm touch came through the clothes, and the real feeling of being alive surged into Ye Yiyi's heart and also into Alice's eyes.

The girl was confused and puzzled at first, then she became calm, a little light reappeared in her eyes, and finally she slowly closed her eyes and put her arms around his broad and straight back.

"Yi Yi, you... are still the same as before, able to bring people a sense of security." The girl murmured softly.

"Why do you still remember that promise after fifty years?" Ye Yiyi asked softly.

"Because it is the only precious treasure I have in that hopeless world, the only thing that can give me hope for the future..." Alice answered softly.

Ye Yiyi didn't say anything, but just hugged the girl tightly.

In his senses, the deep darkness still lingered in the girl's heart.

However, there was a ray of warm light shining in from the outside world.

Dispel the darkness a little.

…………

Waking up from a hazy sleep, Ye Yiyi stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling before he came to his senses.

He sat up straight, looked at the empty sleeping bag beside him, and turned his head to look at the wooden door not far away.

I stood up and opened the door, and the bright sunshine and a humid air entered my senses.

In the open space not far away, Alice, wearing a black windbreaker, was sitting cross-legged beside the holy monument with her back to him. In front of her was the huge but fragmented body of the unintelligent creature.

She seemed to sense something, turned her head and looked at me, then smiled brightly.

"Are you awake? How did you sleep last night?"

"When I close my eyes and open them again, the day breaks."

He rubbed his still blurry eyes and closed the wooden door behind him.

The wooden door slowly disappeared and turned back into the green tree trunk.

"Really? But I slept well."

Alice said, lowering her head and continuing to tinker with the things in her hands.

"This is the first time in all these years that I've slept soundly. Sure enough, I still have to sleep in the empty shadows."

"It sounds like he's used to his bed..." Ye Yiyi complained helplessly.

"Maybe. Here I don't have to worry about being cursed, or dying in my sleep, and there are no annoying nightmares to attack my dreams...

"Of course, the most important thing is that Yi Yi's embrace is very warm. As long as I snuggle in your arms, I don't have to be afraid of anything."

She stood up with a smile, weighing a black ball in her hand, and threw it towards Ye Yiyi.

"Then it's yours."

Reaching out to take the black ball, Ye Yiyi's cheeks turned slightly red.

They were just sleeping in each other's arms, without even taking off their clothes. Don't make it sound so ambiguous...

Then he looked down at the black metallic sphere with some curiosity.

"what is this?"

"I used its material to make a catalyst for the ritual."

Alice kicked the mindless creature, came to Ye Yiyi, and poked the ball with a dagger glowing white.

"I don't know what shape you like, but fortunately this material can adjust its shape according to your inner thoughts, so I used the natural craftsmanship to do some processing.

“Although it’s mediocre for casting spells, it’s still fine for transition purposes.

"Well, let's initialize first."

Alice retracted the dagger, and Ye Yiyi watched in surprise as the metal sphere split in the middle and turned into countless metal parts extending along her left hand.

Finally, the left hand and forearm were wrapped up, turning into a metallic mechanical arm.

"So handsome!"

He couldn't help but exclaimed, and Alice immediately showed a happy smile on her face.

The black mechanical arm looks like a prosthetic hand at first glance, but it is essentially a magical catalyst in the form of arm armor.
