Chapter 566
Bai Ge thought to himself that she couldn't escape the law of "true fragrance" after all.
Xier turned into a rice-eating machine and devoured her lunch; he skillfully picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, and then the two sat on the bed and picked up controllers to play games online.
"I will definitely win against you today!"
"Heh~ if you lose even a drop of blood, count it as my loss."
Bai Ge looked at his record of winning more than a hundred games in a row, without any intention of going easy, and although Xier was abused by him to the point of self-abandonment every time, she would still persistently launch a challenge the next day… and then be abused again.
According to Fire Moth's investigation, before becoming a Herrscher, Xier was also a child with a pitiful background.
Her parents died, relatives snatched the property, and then Xier was sent to an orphanage, but the owner of that orphanage was not a good person either, secretly doing the business of selling children.
Now the person was already dead; the first thing Xier did after becoming a Herrscher was to kill her.
Putting himself in her shoes, Bai Ge felt it was normal for her to become a Herrscher and destroy the world; after all, Xier had never experienced the beauty of this world, only the malice of the world.
And now, although she had become Bai Ge's prisoner.
Bai Ge didn't do anything to hurt her other than pulling out the core; instead, he brought Xier a bunch of things she had never had before—beautiful clothes, delicious food, fun games, good movies, and so on.
"Xier, I understand your resentment toward the world, but there aren't only terrible things in this world; if you destroy it, you won't be able to drink happy water, play games, or see the ending of novels in the future."
Bai Ge advised, bringing these happy and beautiful things to this girl, hoping that 2D and junk food could save the girl's heart that was desperate for the world.
"…Hmph! I, I don't care for these."
Xier gritted her teeth and said toughly, but it was clear that emotions of wavering appeared in her eyes.
And this wavering gave her a flaw; the character in the game was taken away by Bai Ge's set of smooth little combos.
"Ah ah ah, Bai Ge, you sneak-attacked! Too despicable! I'm not playing anymore! It's not fun at all!"
"Don't make excuses, if you're weak, practice more."
"Hmph!"
Xier's mouth puffed up; after Bai Ge touched her head, he handed over several small bags.
"Come, these are the clothes Elysia asked me to give you; she also said she wants to come to the deepest depths to play with you next time."
"Don't let that woman come near me!"
Upon hearing Elysia's name, Xier shivered all over, her face full of disgust and annoyance.
She subconsciously hugged her chest and shivered, her mind recalling the fear of being dominated by the pink fairy not long ago.
Being treated as a dress-up doll and played with to her heart's content, being forced to watch pink little movies, being forced to be fed and chatted with… Xier gritted her teeth and looked at the clothing bag Bai Ge handed over.
She didn't like wearing pink clothes at all!
But after Elysia came last time, she stole all her other clothes, leaving only a few pink little dresses, letting Xier choose between pink dresses and being naked.
If it weren't for Bai Ge coming to see her every day.
Xier felt that she would very likely choose to be naked.
"Uh, I thought you two had a good relationship."
Bai Ge scratched his head; he found that Elysia's interest in Xier was much higher than in ordinary people, even more interesting than persecuting Mobius.
"Who has a good relationship with her, that hateful pink bad woman! And I hate other humans too!"
Xier said while using the Homu in her arms to vent.
Bai Ge looked at her appearance and sighed helplessly.
Don't look at how he was getting along well with Xier now, having developed to the point of being able to touch her head, feed her, and play games together, but this girl only got along well with him.
If other people came to find her, Xier's first reaction would be to greet them with the Herrscher of Death authority remaining in her body, almost instinctively trying to kill them.
"Speaking of which, why do I have no feeling of hating you, Bai Ge, are you really human?" Xier revealed a suspicious expression.
She had an instinctive disgust and resentment toward humans; this was the influence brought by the mission of Honkai to eliminate humanity and destroy civilization, which was branded on her soul after becoming a Herrscher.
Perhaps the humanity she lost after becoming a Herrscher could be cultivated again, but this curse would never disappear.
Just like the underlying rules of a robot, it was a curse that absolutely could not be violated; even now that she had lost her core, Xier couldn't violate this mission.
But strangely, she didn't have this kind of thought toward Bai Ge, although she still "hated" the white-haired youth who caught her and took away her core.
But Xier didn't have the urge to kill Bai Ge.
"Of course I'm human, at least that's what I think, but, eh~ it seems it's very difficult to make you turn over a new leaf." Bai Ge revealed a wry smile.
Of course he knew what was going on; although he considered himself human, objectively speaking, he was a Herrscher, a Seven-Core Herrscher who couldn't be more Herrscher-like, the girl's same kind.
The mission Honkai gave her only targeted humans, and Bai Ge was not included, so Xier wouldn't develop killing intent toward him.
(It seems there really is a fundamental difference between the Herrschers of the previous civilization and the current civilization; not to mention that the current civilization can maintain humanity, once they decide to betray, they can indeed refuse the will of Honkai, it's almost as if someone modified the underlying code in the future, lifting the restrictions on Herrschers…)
Bai Ge frowned; in fact, it was almost certain that there was no possibility of Xier standing on the side of humanity in the future; this wasn't a question of whether she was willing or not, but that Honkai was constraining her.
If this were someone else, they would probably have given up and started thinking about how to squeeze out her remaining value, but…
"Forget it, no rush, take it slow, I will find a way to free you from the constraints of Honkai, but now… let's let you experience the beautiful side of the world more."
"Hmph, I didn't ask you to."
"Hmm, this is what I want to do."
Bai Ge smiled slightly, not caring about Xier's indifference.
Although saying this was very similar to Otto, Bai Ge also believed in the power of emotion, believed that emotion could create miracles, believed that love could transcend everything, believed that the impossible did not exist.
Next, he would teach Xier, who was full of resentment toward the world, what love was, what warmth was, what happiness was.
Although there was no evidence for saying this.
But Bai Ge felt that as long as he could do these things, then sooner or later these beautiful emotions would turn into a sharp sword and cut off the curse of Honkai in an unimaginable way.
After all, what humans were best at was finding loopholes.
Even if Honkai set an absolute mission for the Herrschers of the previous civilization to kill humans and destroy civilization.
But as long as one found a loophole, found a tricky angle, reversed black and white and right and wrong, maybe they could still fight for humanity; this was almost impossible for ordinary people, but for Bai Ge, it wasn't without a chance, after all…
He indeed had the power called 【Miracle】.
Bai Ge was looking forward to that entry from the bottom of his heart, hoping to be able to turn the tide and rewrite fate at a critical moment.
"It seems your relationship is developing well."
Just at this moment, a sour female voice came.
Bai Ge subconsciously hugged Xier's body, and sure enough, this girl subconsciously wanted to kill her.
"Mei, why are you here?"
"Isn't this to send you the permission notice? Your last application has been approved; speaking of which, you could have decided it yourself, why did you send an application?" Mei asked in confusion.
"Because that's not just my own business." Bai Ge shook his head while touching Xier's head again.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Xier restrained the killing intent toward Mei in her heart and asked.
"The Herrscher of Death, your going out has been permitted."
"Hmm? What? You are willing to let me leave?" Xier opened her eyes in surprise.
"Of course not wherever you want to go, just allowed to leave the deepest depths and come into contact with the outside world, and you must also accept restrictions, cherish the opportunity, this is the permission Bai Ge finally fought for you."
Mei said with some jealousy, while taking out a black soul-steel collar from her arms and placing it in front of Xier.
"Your permitted range of activity is within a radius of five meters centered on Bai Ge, and remember to wear this collar; it has a transmitter and a listener, and can also give you a reminder in a stinging way when you walk too far."
Mei said with her arms crossed; in fact, she felt that Xier didn't deserve to be treated like this, and many people didn't agree with her going out either.
It was only because Bai Ge's prestige was high enough now that this application was approved.
After all, even if Xier lost her core, she still had physical fitness far exceeding ordinary people, and she wasn't completely without threat, plus humanity's instinctive rejection of Herrschers…
It could be said that if it weren't for Bai Ge's guarantee, Xier would probably never dream of stepping out of the deepest depths in her life, but even so, her range of activity could only be by Bai Ge's side.
"Human, do you think I will accept this treatment? You want to constrain a Herrscher just by relying on you? Ridiculous, whoever wants to wear this collar can wear it, anyway, I won't wear it, it's like being a dog."
Xier looked at the collar with disdain; why would she want to go out? Wasn't life now quite good? Having food, drink, and games.
"Oh? Is that so."
Mei pushed her glasses, looking at Xier with eyes full of mockery and disdain; a Herrscher? What is a Herrscher without authority! And what's wrong with being a dog? I don't know how many people want to be a dog for Bai Ge.
"Herrscher of Death, it seems Bai Ge is too good to you, not teaching you that a prisoner should remain humble and obedient."
"You, what do you want to do!"
"Nothing, just let you go out and move around."
Mei raised a finger and spun the collar, saying with a light smile.
So, a few minutes later.
"This hateful woman!!!"
Xier angrily tried to tear off the collar on her neck; she had been forcibly released from prison.
"Uh, it actually comes with a leash…"
