Chapter 122 The Saint's Nightmare [Third Update]
Ever since Yunian "left" White Rose, the atmosphere in White Rose Manor has undergone subtle changes.
Everyone does what they are supposed to do, but there seems to be a lack of communication between them.
This atmosphere made Alice feel uncomfortable.
Especially when she wanted to tell others about her inner discomfort, she wanted to tell Irina because in her eyes Irina was her closest friend, but she didn't know why she always felt a little uncomfortable.
There is some inexplicable disgust.
But Irina was my friend. She helped me a lot, pointed me on the path to becoming a saint, and guided me when I was in the most pain. In my memory, every conversation I had with her was very pleasant.
I feel very happy every time I am with her, and just the memories of the past make her want to laugh.
But. But it's obviously like this. Why do I feel a little bit resistant to her now? Why do I always feel that something is wrong? I always feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Especially lately she has been having nightmares.
What appeared repeatedly in the dream was Yu Nian’s face, her miserable appearance lying on the ground covered in blood, and her looking at herself with helpless and resentful eyes, as if those eyes were questioning her - why?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Alice knelt on the ground with her hands clasped in front of her chest, closed her eyes and prayed, beads of sweat slowly appeared on her forehead: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
The power of faith, or the power of other people's belief in her.
Call it whatever you want, this power can achieve excellent results if used to strengthen her own abilities, but now, she uses the ability of the saint and the 'power of God' to intercept this power permanently.
Xavi cannot do this kind of thing, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he emphasizes his own "strength".
What Alice emphasized was "God's messenger on earth", and believers generally have "faith" in a god. It is for this reason that she was able to materialize the originally invisible power, permanently intercept and preserve it to form the current sanctuary of Academy City.
But even if she could intercept and preserve it permanently, Alice would need to purify that power. Only one part of a thousand could be truly preserved.
Even so, she continued to do this and gave up on improving her own strength.
Because of what?
The uncontrollable anxiety, self-blame, and anger in your heart?
Incomparable pain.
Although she claimed to be God's messenger on earth in the past, she never truly believed in God. She became a saint more because of the influence of her mother, because her mother was a devout believer in the Church of the Heavenly Father.
As for her.
Alice sometimes even thought: 'Now I am God's messenger on earth. If I can bring the dead back to life, then I can even say that I am God's incarnation on earth. Then I can even tamper with the doctrine and I will be God! '
But now, she hopes that this god really exists and can wash away the unspeakable guilt in her heart.
Although she thought back to the past many times, she could not find anything that could make her feel guilty. She and Yu Nian were originally enemies - this should be correct.
Irina is the righteous one. She wants to maintain world peace and stability. Relatively speaking, White Rose, Yu Nian and Bai Jing are the unstable factors and the obstacles that must be overcome in order for the world to move towards peace.
'That's how it should be but if it's true who am I apologizing to? What's with the dream I have every night?'
'And, obviously it should be like this, but why. Why did I help him that day? Why did I leave the Holy Cross to him? What was I thinking at that time, and what should I do? '
"Alice?"
"Alice?" "——!" Alice woke up with a start. She heard a knock on the door and a voice calling her. She took a deep breath and stood up and said, "I'm here. Please come in."
The door was silently pushed open. Yue Jianxian frowned slightly as she looked at Alice's condition in the room. "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"Ok?"
It was only at this time that Alice noticed that she was not in good condition. The sweat oozing from her body almost soaked her clothes. She should have noticed this and immediately tidied her appearance before letting Yue Jianxian in.
But she just didn't notice that.
With a start, a golden light flashed across Alice's body, and her somewhat dim golden eyes regained their luster. Her clothes also became clean, and she had a faint smile on her face: "Thank you, I didn't notice it before."
".What are you forcing yourself to do?"
"Hmm? No." Alice tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking. After two seconds, she said with a smile on her face, "Maybe it's because I'm too tired from reinforcing the sanctuary. But don't worry, you just need to take a rest."
"never mind."
Moon Sword Immortal said: "It's your own business."
"?" Seeing Yue Jianxian turning around and leaving, Alice was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you want to see me for? Are you leaving now?"
"Nothing, I just came to see you. I felt that you and I might have something to talk about, but now it seems that it might be an illusion."
"." Alice paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "I have to go to the church later, but there is still some time now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Nothing, I just feel that there may be some falsehood in my memory. Alice, do you think Irina is really our companion?" Yue Jianxian asked: "Is Yu Nian really our enemy?"
"."
"If you can't answer, forget it." Yue Jianxian said, closing the door and turning away. Alice was left alone in the room, trembling slightly: "The memory is false? What does this mean?"
"It's impossible. It's impossible. Those memories are absolutely real. The problem is not me, but her! She was bewitched by Yunian. It must be like this. So should I tell Irina about what happened here?"
Alice felt her heart twitching.
After practicing "Ultimate Qigong", her body was far superior to that of ordinary people. What's more, the saint also had the ability to strengthen her body. But now she just felt a twitching pain in her heart and her breathing felt a little difficult.
"I just said I won't tell anyone, so now I'm going to tell everyone what she told me? What kind of saint am I? But if I don't tell Irina. "
'What should I do if Moon Sword Fairy really did something?'
clang--
clang--
At this moment, the sound of the bell tower rang out. Alice endured the twitching feeling in her heart and said, "It's time to go to church and meet my believers."
