The dazzling light lasted only a few seconds before a green-haired girl, both unfamiliar and familiar, appeared in the maid's line of sight.
If one had to describe the green-haired girl's appearance, it would be like that of the daughter of Elira and Iris, a combination of the features of both of them.
But before the little maid could observe closely, she saw the green-haired girl in front of her gradually become distorted, and soon transformed from one person back into Iris and Elira.
Elise seemed only slightly dazed, while Elira stared wide-eyed, her face contorted in pain.
In the instant they merged, their consciousnesses became intertwined, and in that brief moment, countless memories belonging to Elise began to flood into her mind.
Even though she managed to sever the fusion in time, the sheer volume of memories still gave her a splitting headache.
If it were just a simple headache, that would be one thing, but the memories... are just too despairing.
Rebirth after rebirth, death after death, the shortest memory lasts less than half a day.
Volume 1: Chapter 762 Iris in Her Pure Form
"Are you OK?"
Elise moved closer to Elira and gently rubbed her temples.
After all, it was their first time merging, and she hadn't expected that their consciousnesses would become so deeply intertwined, even allowing Elira to see a part of her own memories.
Although she successfully obtained some of Elira's memories, those memories meant nothing to her. On the contrary, her own memories might cause Elira some suffering.
Feeling Elise's gentle movements, Elira still felt a throbbing pain in her head, but it was much better than when she had just broken free of the fusion.
The problem now is that Elise's memories are so vast that they frequently resurface in her mind.
Moreover, they were all unpleasant memories.
Feeling the despair of Elise in her memory, she now understood why this wicked woman had such a terrible self-destructive impulse.
What's even more terrifying is that what she's currently experiencing is only a small part of Elise's memories. The recent entanglement of consciousness made her realize that the number of times Elise has been reborn is far more terrifying than she imagined.
She didn't even know how Elise managed to remain rational in such despair.
If it were her, she felt she would probably have gone crazy by now.
"Do you need me to erase those memories for you?" A look of pleasure appeared in Elise's eyes.
Elira subconsciously shook her head: "No, no need, just give me some time to calm down."
"It's not a good thing for those memories to remain in your head."
“My will is very firm.” Elira suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of Iris.
"Anyway, I respect your choice. It looks like the experiment failed."
Having recovered slightly, Elise simply sat down on the grass, not caring about her image, and said directly to Elise, "Actually, it wasn't a failure, it's just that our consciousnesses were too deeply intertwined, and I couldn't bear your memories."
"If we can find a way to sever the entanglement of memories, we might succeed, but I need some time to research it."
"There's no rush for this. It was just a sudden idea of mine. I'll do my best, but it's not a big deal if I can't."
"But it's you who's in this problem because of me, and I'm starting to feel a little sorry for you."
"If you feel sorry for me, could you let me do less work in the future?"
"No, my conscience will hurt if you don't use something so useful."
"You really still have that kind of thing?"
"There is some degree of it, otherwise... this world would have been in chaos long ago."
As a gamer, Elise actually has many unorthodox methods that she can use to improve herself or others. It's not that she doesn't want to use them, but if she did, other people probably wouldn't accept them.
Before she even considered nurturing a protagonist, Elise relied on various unorthodox methods to enhance her own strength in order to compete with other protagonists.
But the final result of doing so is that she still cannot escape the fate of being killed, and it will be even worse than usual, with several protagonists joining forces to punish this wicked woman.
"Do you need me to take you back to rest?"
"No need, just let me lie here and rest for a bit."
Hearing what Elera had said, Iris thought about it and decided not to stay any longer. Instead, she took her maid and returned to the City of Hope.
Shortly after Elise and the maid left, Elena was teleported directly to this place.
Looking at Elira lying on the ground, completely disheveled, she couldn't help but tilt her head: "You're... completely drained?"
Upon hearing Elena's voice, Elira slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the other's familiar face, her expression became complicated.
In Elise's memory, Elena had killed her far too many times. No matter where she hid, Elena could always find her, and after extracting the information she wanted, she would kill her without hesitation.
She couldn't understand why Elise could still maintain such a close relationship with Elena after going through what had happened.
If it were me, I probably would want to tear Elena to pieces, right?
Sensing the complicated look in Elira's eyes, Elena raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. More importantly, Miss Elena, what brings you here?"
"I suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation of power, and after finishing what I was doing, I thought I'd come and take a look."
"Iris and I were just doing some small experiments, but we failed."
"Is she okay?"
“She’s definitely fine, it’s me who’s in trouble,” Elira said weakly.
"Then I won't disturb your rest."
Elena activated her spatial powers and vanished from Elira's sight.
After Elena left, Elira lay back down on the grass. Normally, she should now seal away Elise's memories to prevent the impact of those memories on her mind.
However, this is also the best way to understand Elise's past, which is why she didn't have Elise erase that memory before.
Although these memories are incredibly despairing, ... as long as you don't put yourself in them and look at them from an outsider's perspective, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
With that thought in mind, Elira closed her eyes again.
……
Celia's manor, Elise's room.
Elena glanced around before her gaze settled on the only large bed in the room.
Under her gaze, Elise slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion, and she even murmured, "Where...am I?"
Upon seeing this, Elena was also taken aback. Was this reaction appropriate?
Just as she was wondering, she saw Elise suddenly cover her forehead, her expression seemingly in pain, but the confusion in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by... helplessness?
"Of all the people I could have transmigrated into, I had to become Elise. But at least I'm a veteran player, so surviving shouldn't be a problem. Besides, I'm healthy and quite good-looking." Elise muttered to herself as she got up and walked to the mirror.
Elira stared in disbelief at Elise, who was grinning foolishly in front of the mirror. Was this really the smile that wicked woman would ever show?
There is no alluring charm, no pleasure tinged with malice, only purity and vitality.
And... the longing for a new life.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Volume 1: Chapter 763 Let's Talk from the Heart
Elira never imagined that she would one day be infected by Elise's smile.
She touched the corner of her mouth, and even in her memory, she could clearly feel the slight upturn of her lips.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and then the maid pushed the door open and entered the room.
As you can see, the young maid is still quite inexperienced at this time. This inexperience doesn't refer to physical development, but rather to the feeling she gives off, and she even seems a little nervous.
"Miss, you're awake."
"Wow, it's a real little maid!" Elise went right up to the little maid and gave her a big hug.
The little maid being hugged seemed to have completely lost her composure, standing there dumbfounded and somewhat at a loss.
Perhaps realizing that her actions were somewhat abrupt, Elise let go of her hand somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I got a little too excited just now."
Hearing her mistress's words, the little maid couldn't help but blink. Her mistress had actually apologized to her!?
Is it that I'm not fully awake, or is it that the young lady isn't fully awake?
Although her head was spinning, the maid did not forget her duty as a maid and quickly said, "Miss, let me help you change your clothes."
"I can just do it myself."
"Huh?" The little maid stood there stunned, as if she had been hit by a huge shock.
As a personal maid, it's hard not to have the wrong idea when the master she serves suddenly doesn't need her help anymore.
Elise clearly noticed this as well, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face before she whispered, "Then, then you should help me."
Upon hearing Elise's words, the little maid seemed to be reactivated, and quickly went to Elise's side to help her change her clothes.
Elira instinctively wanted to look away, but considering that she might miss some very crucial memories, she could only silently focus her gaze on Iris.
She had seen Elise in a swimsuit before, but the feeling was ultimately different.
She originally wanted to find a suitable reason for herself, but after searching and searching, it was still too far-fetched. In the end, Elira simply stopped pretending. Understanding Elise's body was also part of understanding Elise.
Then she saw Elise's shy side.
She truly never expected that the world-destroying witch, that wicked woman, would actually have a shy side!
Her slightly flushed cheeks, her slightly evasive gaze, and the coy manner she displayed while changing clothes all made Elise exude an allure completely different from her usual self.
What are my plans for today?
"Miss, you had an appointment with Miss Belinda to go to the newly opened dessert shop on Golden Avenue. I've already had the carriage prepared. Would you like to have a meal first before heading out?"
"No need, just change your clothes and go," Elise said thoughtfully.
"Yes."
Although changing clothes and getting ready took a lot of time, Elira did not show the slightest impatience. Having been reborn as a noblewoman, she knew the etiquette of nobles in this regard.
Especially when socializing with other nobles, even if you don't do something right, they might think you don't respect them.
While Elira was lost in thought, Elise had already prepared to leave and went straight out of the room.
Seeing this, Elira quickly followed, and then she saw Iris greet a maid who was cleaning in the corridor in a very friendly manner.
That maid was Elira, a new maid who was quite pretty and cute.
Seeing her former self, a flicker of disbelief crossed Elira's eyes. She remembered how, back then, Iris had seemed like an angel to her.
Too dazzling.
Elira pulled herself together from her reverie and followed Iris into the carriage.
At this moment, only Elise was in the carriage.
As you can see, Elise completely disregarded her image and went straight to the window, looking at the scenery outside with excitement.
Elira felt that Iris's eyes seemed to be glowing at that moment.
Curiosity, anticipation, longing... all sorts of wonderful emotions are blossoming.
Even Elira seemed to be infected by this wonderful mood, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
However, this blissful moment did not last long. As the carriage rounded a corner, a figure stealthily boarded the carriage and covered Elise's mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
As Elise fainted, the world around her went completely dark.
Elira knew the person who had drugged Iris very well; it was Elena, whom she had just greeted.
As darkness faded, Elise found herself in a dimly lit basement. Upon waking, she discovered she was bound, and panic and terror crossed her face.
However, Elira clearly noticed that when Elise saw Elena, a hint of surprise seemed to flash in her eyes.
The feeling was like bumping into an acquaintance in an unfamiliar place.
But before she could speak, Elena had already pressed a dagger against Elise's neck: "Where is my sister?"
Because of her intense emotions, the sharp dagger had already cut through her delicate skin, and crimson blood dripped onto her white dress, like a blooming bloody flower.
Pain and murderous intent plunged Elise into panic and fear once again. She tried to struggle, but Elena's dagger quickly pierced Elise's thigh. Pain seemed to overwhelm the girl in front of her, and even as she cried out, Elena remained unmoved.
The pain seemed to calm Elise down a bit. She looked at Elena as if trying to remember something, and then said an address.
After verifying the accuracy of the information through special means, Elena plunged the dagger into Elise's heart without hesitation.
Watching those once bright eyes gradually dim, Elira felt as if her heart had been stabbed.
