Chapter 23 Alice and Apophis
"You said Milo is here, isn't that just right? Don't you two exist as one?" (Lila)
"No, we can't let her find us now, or I can't let her find me. I can't have contact with her right now."
Apophis' eyes emitted a green light, and Mero, who had entered the maze at this time, was immediately sent out of the ruins by Apophis' mysterious power.
"What...what's going on? Why was I sent out of the ruins?"
Melo had already noticed that there was a powerful force that sent her out of the ruins, which also made her more convinced that there must be some secrets inside the ruins. She tried to enter the ruins again, but this time even the entrance to the ruins was blocked.
No more going in.
"Here, what is going on with this ruins! It can make me, a real and demonic world, unable to enter even the first level. Who is so powerful?"
And the inside of the ruins——
"Really, who are you? Can you tell us a little bit?"
"..."
"Really, it's just different from Alice."
"Selena, you don't have to do this to Apophis. Besides, hasn't she helped us before? Otherwise, we might still be in trouble now."
"What you said is correct..."
At this time, Apophis stopped and turned his head to look at Alice.
"..."
As soon as she stopped, everyone stopped, and at this time, Alice started communicating with Apophis.
"Miss Apophis, you saved everyone before, thank you."
"..."
"Although I don't know why Miss Apophis looks exactly the same as me and Melo, no, maybe it's because we look exactly the same, so... I can't feel disgusted with you, and I feel close to you.
a feeling of."
There was no trace of falsehood or lies, it was Alice's true words from the heart. However, a trace of displeasure appeared on Apophis' face.
"Maybe...it's not necessarily that we were sisters in our previous life."
"
!”
The moment he heard these words, Apophis, who had always been gloomy, now looked extremely angry! Then, she approached Alice.
"I...hate you the most, Alice Northfield."
Apophis' eyes were full of hostility and disgust, and the most powerful thing was naturally anger.
"What kind of sisters did we say in our previous life? It's disgusting to talk about your bullshit. Only you...only you...why weren't you killed at that time! Why weren't you killed by that bullshit Six Emperor Demon General just now?
Kill..."
Alice, who was frightened by Apophis' sudden harsh words, froze on the spot and remained motionless, while Lu stood in front of Alice.
"Apophis, I won't allow you to do anything harmful to Alice."
Not only Lu, Selena and Lila also came to Alice's side and protected her tightly.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, but Alice was not nervous at all. On the contrary, she walked up to Apophis.
Alice stretched out her hand, but her hand penetrated Apophis' body.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do, but as I said before, I have died long ago, and now it is just a residual thought."
"How pitiful, Miss Apophis."
"..."
"Obviously the body has disappeared, but the residual thoughts of you are left behind. I think... you must have had a very strong obsession before you died. It is precisely because of this that Miss Apophis will remain.
This world."
"……Shut up."
"It must be...very lonely..."
"cut!"
The murderous aura emanating from Apophis body gradually disappeared, and then she turned around. After a few seconds, she spoke.
"Forget it... I didn't intend to hurt her. Rather... if I hurt her, I might hurt myself instead... But, I really can't forgive her. If it weren't for her... I wouldn't either
If you can...Melo can't..."
Apophis turned around again and penetrated Alice with his cold gaze again.
"I actually know that saying these words to you is a bit excessive, but you have hurt too many people."
"You mean...me?"
"It's you, but it's not you. Only you can make up for the mistakes you have made. Only you... can save Demon King Solomon, save Leanna Filutia Eunlies, and...
Merlot.”
"..."
"You are the only one who can save them. They are crying all the time in their hearts, and the person who was hurt the most by you is Lu Osiris."
"Did I hurt Lu...or...hurt Solomon Osiris? Or...at the same time?"
"..."
Apophis seemed not to have expected Alice to say this. She ignored Alice and said lightly, "Let's keep going" as if she was forcing a change of subject.
"But... I think Miss Apophis is a particularly gentle person."
Alice looked at the slightly lonely Apophis back and said this.
"Why... do you think so?"
"Because you obviously hated me so much, but you still saved me; you obviously hated me, but you still told me that I had hurt several people. I don't know why you hate me, so... I can't tell you.
If I apologize...because I know that I must have hurt you, and I can't apologize to you until I find out the reason why I hurt you, because that kind of apology cannot express my deep regret to you. So.
...At least let me thank you. Miss Apophis, thank you, thank you for saving us before."
At this moment, Apophis' figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, without even the slightest trace of existence.
(Follow the path of light, and that path will tell you where to go.)
The only thing that echoed in this dark passage was Apophis' voice circulating in their minds. Apophis himself had completely disappeared.
Now within the dark ruins, only certain routes showed traces of light, which were obviously the signposts used by Apophis to specifically guide them.
But only in the voice transmission with Alice, there was an extra sentence.
