We moved to Golden Courtyard

“Listen to me, Professor, Sister Nia, we’ve all misunderstood. Extreme evil—she doesn’t mean the sum of all the negative aspects of Velvey! I think… she might be the original Velvey, all her arrogance and pride.”

The moment those words were spoken, not only the two people opposite Xu Qi, but even Wilvi behind him was stunned!

"What...what did you say?"

Mebius looked somewhat shaken, but... she still couldn't quite believe it.

“Think it over carefully! If that’s the case, then many of the things that Velvi did behind me can be explained!”

752. Finally, the full picture of Velvi was revealed.

Xu Qi's words caused both the professor and Aponia to hesitate.

Is what Xu Qi said true?

Just as they were hesitating, Vervier slowly hugged Xu Qi from behind.

"Vilvie?"

"How stupid... They all said I was corrupting you, why did you still believe me? And they even said I was just a product of Virvi's arrogance..."

"I think if you could also split your personality, you would be all of Xu Qi's arrogance."

"Is what they're saying true?"

"of course."

"why?"

“...Because I couldn’t control myself.” Wilvi gazed at Xu Qi’s profile, the tear tracks on her cheeks still wet, giving her a touch of poignant beauty.

"Erosion is my instinct. The moment I realized that I had truly fallen in love with you, I could no longer control this instinct."

"So, by corrupting me, what do you want me to do?"

I want you to love me.

Xu Qi asked in confusion, "But I've already fallen in love with you!"

Suddenly, Vilvi stopped answering.

Across from them, Möbius, as if having figured something out, looked at Xu Qi with his snake-like eyes and said, "This love is a verb."

"..."

Mebius shook his head.

"Even so, Extreme Evil, you've been out long enough. You should know how dangerous your abilities are, especially..."

You are no longer bound by other personalities.

“I understand…” Vilvi took a deep breath, made Xu Qi turn around, looked him straight in the eye, and said, “I’m giving you the right to choose…”

"Give me?"

"The conductor believes that only she is the personality closest to her true self—I don't know where her confidence comes from. Your guess is correct."

I am indeed the original Velvet, the personality born from the separation of all my arrogance.

Xu Qi was puzzled.

So... what are you going to do?

Mebius seemed to realize something; she waved to Aponia, while her gaze toward Velvi was also full of strangeness.

"I'll show you my whole self."

······

When Xu Qi opened his eyes again, the scenery around him had completely changed.

He was no longer in his own room, but in a small, reddish-brown villa. The professor and Sister Nia were not there. Xu Qi tried to extend his mental energy outwards...

Can't do it.

He recalled the last moment he was conscious before he came here.

In Vervie's eyes, he seemed to see endless gears, intertwined into a spiral shape, drawing his consciousness firmly into them, and in the end...

This allowed Xu Qi to come here.

"You've finally arrived."

The sound seemed to penetrate directly into Xu Qi's mind, but he knew that wasn't the case—because this was a space of mental energy, where direction was meaningless.

At the same time, his spiritual power was finally able to expand, and he sensed...

Right behind him, there was that familiar yet unfamiliar fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Turning around, on the sofa filled with a classical atmosphere, Velvet smiled and waved to me, saying, "Hello, Xu Qi, we... finally meet."

······

In Xu Qi's room, looking at the two people who had just been settled and were already unconscious, Möbius rubbed his temples, looking helpless.

On the bed, Xu Qi and Wei Erwei both had their eyes closed, lost in a deep slumber of thought.

Aponia was standing next to the professor. The two of them had suddenly lost consciousness, which had almost startled the nun.

Fortunately, she immediately discovered that Xu Qi's mental energy seemed to have entered Virvi's mental space.

"It seems that he is finally willing to awaken."

Mebius wore a mocking expression.

"She's been asleep for so many years, I wonder if she'll ever greet humans again."

······

In the monotonous room, Xu Qi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting on the sofa and took a deep breath.

"And who... are you, Vilvie?"

"Since you've already guessed it, you might as well say it directly. To me, it won't seem rude, Mr. Xu Qi."

"You are... the [original] Velvi?"

However, Vivi, who looked like a literary girl with a spiral dress and books on her lap, shook her head at this.

"The original Velvey is no more, Mr. Xu Qi. When Velvey began to split her mind, it meant that Velvey's form of existence had also changed."

"Then who are you?"

“You can think of me as Wilvi’s ‘id’.”

Xu Qi's expression was full of confusion, as if to say—what's the difference?

"The difference is significant, Mr. Xu Qi. You can consider the split personality as a death of Vervière. The conductor and I are both products of Vervière's first death."

However, the conductor is a split entity, while I am the mother entity.

It sounds a bit strange...

Xu Qi laughed and said, "Vilvie, you killed Wilvie?"

“You can understand it that way, but if you really asked me to kill someone named Velvi, I still couldn’t do it, because I can’t kill myself.”

It's a bit convoluted, but Xu Qi can understand it.

He was somewhat moved, and with the addition of this most mysterious "id," he finally... was able to glimpse the full picture of Velvi.

"You like me."

Xu Qi was taken aback by the sudden words of this "Id" lady.

“This is my spiritual realm, Mr. Xu Qi. Here, I can sense any feelings you have for me.”

Ah this...

“I’m very happy because…” Verviel said with a hint of shyness, “I also like Mr. Xu Qi.”

Ah this?

"But we..."

“I understand, Mr. Xu Qi. This is clearly our first meeting, but have you forgotten?” Wilvi winked playfully.

"Your deduction about the truth of Velvi."

The truth about Vilvie?

Xu Qi murmured, "The Spiral Velvet, you are both independent individuals and a whole..."

"Now, do you understand why I've fallen for you, Mr. Xu Qi?"

"If that's the case, then wouldn't it mean that the moment the conductor fell in love with me..." Xu Qi fell silent, while Wilvi smiled without saying a word.

After a long silence, Xu Qi suddenly realized, and Wilvi finally spoke up: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Qi, they are still quite immature and unable to properly face their own inner feelings."

Xu Qi couldn't help but sigh—Vilvie... is really complicated...

"One last question."

"Speak freely about anything you know."

“The extreme evil says that it gives me the right to choose and shows me its entirety—tell me what choice it is.”

753. Xu Qi: At the same time, eight...eight Vervies!?

The authentic Vivi didn't mind that Xu Qi, after only a few words, had veered towards that extremely evil personality. Or rather...

This, on the contrary, would make Vervielwe very gratified.

Because she could tell that Xu Qi really cared about extreme evil.

If a person can accept the arrogance and pride of others, what vices can they not accept?

“I know everything. You not only understand the truth about Wilvi, but you also discovered the biggest secret that Wilvi has hidden—the truth of extreme evil.”

This was something that was entirely Vervie's arrogance, something even the other personalities were unaware of.

No wonder……

After all, the conductor had no reason to deceive him.

It seems that even what she knew was that the extreme evil was the negative aspect of everything about Vilvie.

"The first one, Vilvie, was the greatest scholar in the world. Any so-called genius could only reach the threshold of her."

Xu Qi reached out to interrupt, and looked at the other person suspiciously.

"Are you sure you've really cut off all your arrogance to the extreme evil, and not that you've kept a part of it for yourself?"

"Ah, this is the original introduction that Velvi left for herself."

Ha...that's quite blatant arrogance...

"But later, because of some things, she began to hate her own arrogance, and she didn't want to always be the same as before."

Just then, Vivi had just completed her first attempt at splitting her personality, resulting in the creation of the Conductor and me, and so... I began splitting again.

And this time, those that split off...

"That is extreme evil."

“That’s right.” Velvi nodded serenely. “Even the conductor doesn’t know that I simply loathe my own arrogance, so I tried to split it off.”

She also thought that I wanted to create a perfect saint, so I split off all the negative aspects.

Who in their right mind would think of that...?

Oh, Vilvi wasn't exactly a normal person to begin with.

She deliberately turned herself into a mental patient.

"But what you've said seems to be the origin of 'extreme evil,' so what does that have to do with choice?"

Vervi smiled calmly.

"Only by knowing the full extent of [Extreme Evil] can such a choice appear fair. The choice is yours: to continue sealing her away or to allow her to become a part of Velvet."
