"Maybe we calculated wrongly. That thing didn't join us, but turned into this little girl?" Anna and her group looked at the girl in front of them hesitantly.
The dagger in Anna's hand had already cut a gash on the opponent's arm, and red blood was flowing out.
"Are you sure the blood is a different color?" Charles expressed doubt.
Anna glared at him impatiently, "Back then you used a gun to make so many holes in my body. What color was the liquid that came out? ?"
Charles tried hard to recall the scene of that year, but found that he could not remember many details because it had been too long.
"Master Priest, if there is really no other choice, let's kill her first just in case." A Futan believer at the side took out a dagger.
Charles raised his metal prosthesis and stopped her. "That's not necessary. Since her blood is red, she is not a Diva."
The Futan believer holding the dagger did not speak, but looked at Anna, waiting for her order.
Anna glanced at Charles and the girl, and asked in surprise: "Why are you so nervous? It's really interesting. You protected other people's daughters well, but you lost your own daughter."
Charles looked at her with a frown on his face. "She is a person, a living person. Don't make it sound so easy to take away a life."
"Stop it. Don't you know how many people have died in your hands? Now you are pretending to be a good person?" Anna expressed her contempt for Charles' behavior.
Charles was too lazy to argue with these meaningless words. After he whispered a few words to comfort the girl, he looked up at his wife.
"Seriously, if you find the escaped Diva, do you really want to give up your human body? Do you really want to change back?"
"What else? I've been working so hard for so long, do you think I'm just playing?" Anna answered without hesitation.
Charles walked up to her, put his hands on her soft shoulders, and stared at her with a very complicated expression.
"If you have something to say, say it now! What are you wasting time on? Do you really think this is the time to chat in a place like this? The guy who ran away might still be hiding somewhere and watching the show." Anna was very dissatisfied with Charles' behavior.
Charles thought for a long time before he spoke word by word: "Anna, you are a human being now, a living person. It took you a lot of effort to become a human being. I don't want you to become a monster again."
Anna looked at him with a half-smile, "You put me in a human body, so I am a human?"
"When will you change your ways, always making decisions for others?"
"What is a monster? How can you be any better than me now?"
Charles took a deep breath and suppressed his irritation. "Anna, since you finally became a human, don't go down. I will take care of everything."
"Depend on you?" Anna showed a trace of contempt on her face. "You have to send Shanshan directly to me, otherwise don't say such nonsense! Also, you'd better be more respectful to me! Who do you think you are to give me advice?"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pushed Charles in front of her away with force. At the moment of pushing him away, a blade pierced out from between her fingers and lightly passed across the back of Charles' hand.
A cut appeared on the back of his hand, but what flowed out was not blood-red blood, but some kind of translucent purple juice.
Such an obvious flaw made everyone instantly understand Charles' identity. He was fake, impersonated by the monster.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Charles' scarred head instantly split open, and he waved his huge tentacles and ran away.
Everyone rushed forward, and soon the Dewait was tied up and nailed to the ground with a wooden pendant, unable to move.
"What did I say before? I am your forefather in this regard. You are underestimating me by just modifying my memory, aren't you?"
The flesh and blood on the giant octopus monster's body quickly solidified into a vague human figure, which was Charles.
Facing the impending death, this temporary personality created by the Diva tribe did not show much emotional fluctuation, but continued to say to Anna: "Anna, I am Charles."
"Stop pretending, you're just a fake."
"If I can be fake, then you are also fake, isn't that right?"
This sentence seemed to touch Anna's anti-aging instinct. She snatched the man's pistol and started shooting at him.
After a few gunshots, Charles, who was barely put together into a human form, was beaten to pieces.
"Don't compare yourself to me, a newborn like you! I've survived this long, so Anna is the real one!"
The rotten flesh was barely pieced together into a human figure. He looked at Anna with a complicated expression and continued, "You pretend not to care, but you still care about this identity."
"I admit that you are the real Anna now, but if you return to this body again and are subconsciously influenced by Diwait's true self, will you still be the real Anna at that time?"
Anna rarely refuted anything and slowly lowered the gun.
"If you return to this body again, you will become like me, inducing people's dying thoughts. I really don't want you to become like this."
Charles' face showed a hint of openness when he said this. "You know what? When I realized that I was just Charles copied from your memory by the Diva tribe, the only thought in my mind was to make you change your mind."
Charles never intended to harm anyone. Everything he did before was to make Anna change this dangerous idea.
"Anna, cherish your life now and don't go back. I beg you. If you return to Earthsea, everything will happen again and you will eventually perish. I can handle those desperate days alone!"
Before the other party could finish his words, the barely human-shaped head was blown to pieces by bullets again. Anna's eyes showed intense hatred without her knowing when.
"You think that through this method, I will let you go and daydream! I told you! This technique doesn't work on me!!"
After saying that, Anna walked over with a knife in hand, peeled off the slimy skin with the knife, and reached out to grab the cerebellum that stored the temporary personality.
The Diva used all his strength to reconstruct the broken upper body of Charles.
"Anna, I can feel that you are beginning to have some humanity, please don't throw it away, okay?"
"I don't need you to preach to me! You fake bastard!!"
However, Anna pinched him and Charles collapsed instantly into a pool of rotten flesh. Charles, who was born less than ten minutes ago, completely disappeared.
