"What do you mean by twisted desires...... That's what you asked for. ”

Xia Ran categorically couldn't admit such slander, he shook his head calmly, and bluntly pointed out that this was actually all the problem of the classmates under the snow.

Hearing his rebuttal under the snow, her beautiful eyes widened: "What? What did I ask for? ”

But immediately after, the black straight girl also immediately categorically denied, "This is impossible!" You must be talking nonsense! ”

"If you think about it, under the snow, a month ago...... No, it should have been last night...... Forget it, things ...... before you wake up" Xia Ran didn't answer directly, just said with a smile.

It's just a series of changes that make his persuasiveness vanish.

“……”

“……”

The girl glared at him angrily, thought carefully and remembered for a while, and finally remembered, it seemed that she knew where the other party was going, and she was still leaving with Charlotte and Artoria.

But when she asked, the other party said that he didn't know, so in the end he couldn't help but ask to see if he could come and have a look...... After all, she was a little annoyed, this person had to go somewhere alone with two beautiful girls in the middle of the night.

It's just that those two girls really want him to give him what they want, which makes him feel a full sense of crisis under the snow-

Charlotte won't say anything, don't look at this puppet girl who seems to have a very individual, black belly and autonomous, in fact, it's all an illusion. She will never refuse any request made by Xia Ran, the doll is unconditionally obedient to the master, this is the truth.

And there's Artoria, a knight girl who doesn't fit in with King Arthur's impression under the snow-

After all, who would have thought that the legendary King Arthur of ancient Britain would actually be such a soft and snow-white skin, with a shawl of golden hair and emerald green eyes, and a petite figure like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old aristocratic girl in the medieval European court?

Knight, Queen, Silly, Contrasting, Blonde......

- That's right! The Great Crisis!

And she and that guy turned out to be in a master-slave relationship, isn't this worth being wary of? If you really don't care about anything, it must be fake! Anyway, under the snow, the classmates just care very much, especially care, very, very, very much.

So it was logical to make this request, after all, she had been trying to get closer to that goal, how could she be willing to watch herself being distanced again?

Since she said that there was no problem and that she would be back the next morning, she should be okay with her, right?

Of course, the girl thought that she should be rejected, and she was basically mentally prepared to be disappointed. But what she didn't expect at all was that after she tentatively said her thoughts, Xia Ran agreed directly without thinking.

It was very refreshing, definitely not because she was still holding a knife or anything at the time, but more like she had already prepared for it.

And after that......

It was in this place that I woke up at this time.

Pursing her lips vigorously, the girl looked at the magician in front of her, and still asked a little unhappy: "So, you promised so happily, that is, you had such an idea from the beginning?" ”

"yes, after all, I can't let you have no safeguards, just come to this kind of place, what if something really happens...... I would never dare to risk this kind of thing. ”

Xia Ran blinked his eyes and said quite frankly.

“……”

“……”

It seems to be very thoughtful, but the girl is silent, she raised her slender palm to look at it, and subconsciously pressed her heart, obviously it is so real, but ......

My current self...... Not really yourself? Just another ...... A copied puppet?

Does that mean......

A wave of panic and uneasiness welled up in her heart, and the girl bit her lower lip tightly, and her thin body trembled slightly.

"Under the snow?" Xia Ran tilted his head.

“…… I'm fine......" Xue Xia's expression slowly regained his composure, and he glanced at him with complicated eyes, pursing his lips in response.

"But you don't sound like you're okay at all......" Xia Ran sighed, he probably understood something, naturally it was impossible to really pretend not to know, and keep such a pimple in this girl's heart.

“……”

“……”

"You just said it couldn't really happen to me?"

After a long silence, the girl lifted her hair as if to hide her dissatisfaction, and said in a calm tone.

"That's right."

"So...... Does that mean that if it's not true, something can happen? Xue Xia said in a cold tone, "Because I'm just a clone now, you can ......."

"Stop, stop! I just made a metaphor just so that you can easily understand the situation...... classmate under the snow," Xia Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth, "But I didn't think about making any dispute between the clone and the body, you are just you from beginning to end, and there is no second you." ”

“……”

The black straight girl who was interrupted stared at him quite unhappily, but she felt a slight sigh of relief in her heart.

"Well, do you know the difference between a Heroic Spirit and a Servant? I said it at the beginning, and I also recorded it in my notes......" Xia Ran sighed helplessly again, thought about it carefully, and cautiously gave a hint.

"The Heroic Spirit is the ontology of the Heroic Soul, and the Servant is just a doppelganger of the Heroic Spirit's body, constituting the information of the Servant, and at the same time as the Servant ends the summoning, it will return to the Element, and the Servant can know the Servant's actions in a recorded way like reading a book."

"Xuexia classmate, your current situation is similar, just like the relationship between ontology and projection, you just need to look at it like this, you can't say that you feel that your shadow is a different existence from yourself, what conflict will it have with yourself, right?"

"You're you from beginning to end, you're only one, and I can even use the properties of the second magic to ensure that fact...... Now you are also you, and I don't see you as a substitute, please rest assured. ”

In order to reassure the girl, he explained a series of things in one breath, hoping to make Xue Xia understand and relax as soon as possible.

“…… It's true? ”

Xue Xia thought about it carefully, and seemed to feel a little relieved.

"Of course it's true, in all occult fields, the concept of "doppelganger" is very advanced, but it is not the same as "copying" or "cloning", if there is always such a battle of priorities, then it has long been a taboo."

Xia Ran nodded again and again.

"You just think that I let you experience a doppelganger or something like that in advance, or it's like a dream, in which you have experienced something in this world, and when you wake up from the dream, you will still be you, but you will have some more memory experiences."

"A little more...... Memory experience? The girl sensed the key, and it seemed that this was the point of the other party's words.

"That's right, the things you have experienced in this world, the updated information, will come back to your own body, and come together, isn't it just that after waking up, it's like experiencing another life in a dream?"

Xia Ran smiled slightly, and at the same time couldn't help muttering in his heart, in fact, strictly speaking, the same situation is for those who are lost.

Xue Xia glanced at him, turned his face away and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

"In fact, this situation is not uncommon, high-level mages often master advanced simulacrum clones and other skills, so that they can multitask, multi-thread various transactions at the same time, or work on the same topic from many different aspects at the same time......"

Thinking that it was a girl or a tangle in her heart, Xia Ran coughed, cleared her throat and said seriously.

"There are also immortals in the East, even to a more ferocious degree, who can be able to cut off an illusionary body with a trace of sexual spirit, let it walk in the world, practice and accumulate, and finally cultivate to the positive fruit, shatter the void, soar from the ground, return to the normal body, and add a lifetime of cultivation to oneself as a supernatural power......"

"I don't care about that...... Never mind. ”

Xue Nai took a deep breath under the snow, her expression was completely different from just now, as if she was really relieved, she turned her head to look around, and asked, "Anyway, what kind of place is this?" ”

Although it is similar to the previous question, it is obviously not the same meaning, and Xia Ran will also answer meaningfully:

"This is my magic workshop, the recently built Mage Tower...... Ahem, although it is a little simple, but the main reason is that there is a shortage of manpower, and it is too late to arrange. ”

He scratched his cheeks, looked at the too simple room layout, and felt embarrassed: "You can go to Charlotte later, you can arrange whatever you want, and then you may have to live for a long time, it is better to be more comfortable." ”

“…… A month of Sundays? Xue Nai keenly caught the key under the snow, and stared at him suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you would go back in one night?" ”

“……”

“……”

"Speaking of which, are you hungry now? Would you like something to eat? Xia Ran blinked, casually changing the topic.

"It's too blunt." The gaze under the snow lingered on him for a moment, and then retracted the next.

She lifted the sheet directly and stepped on the delicate calves wrapped in black over-the-knee stockings to the ground, because the shoes were already worn on her feet, so she didn't need to wear shoes anymore-

"Then let's go get something to eat first, I just want to see what this tower looks like, and by the way, you can also talk about this slowly."

“…… What a good proposition. The magician raised an eyebrow and looked away from the girl's slender feet, "Well, actually, when I said before that I would be able to come back in just one night, I was referring to one night in the real-world concept of time. ”
