Chapter 417 Past Story
It was three o'clock in the night at the Bufadi Mansion.
Audrin took the note and followed the instructions on the small map to come here. Looking at the wide-open door, she took a deep breath and stepped in.
According to the setting, the servant was the first person to pick her up, and theoretically had the closest relationship with her. Would she find that this girl was not the original her?
Audrin didn't know what her personality was like before entering the game. Would it be exposed?
Well, let's take it one step at a time.
The first thing you enter after entering the room is an empty hall. The only candle lit on the table makes the whole space seem even darker. A woman with short white hair holds her chin with one hand, staring nonchalantly at Audrin who is walking slowly from the door. No emotion can be seen in her eyes with a strange bright red cross pattern.
"came back."
"I'm back." Audrin chose a seat not too far from Alechino and sat down, not using any name in her speech, trying to avoid falling into traps.
Although she felt that she would fall into a trap even if she didn't call him by his name, she could only hope that Alechino wasn't that sensitive.
"It looks like... you've changed a lot." Alechino hooked his finger at Audrin: "Sit closer, let me see."
Audrin had an awkward but polite smile on her face and moved towards Alecino.
"Closer."
Audrin moved again.
Finally, Alechino couldn't stand Audrin's procrastination any longer, so he reached out and pulled Audrin in front of him, observing her face from a very close distance.
"It has changed again..." he sighed in an unclear tone.
Audrin didn't dare to breathe, her body stiff, allowing Alechino's emotionless eyes to scan her face.
Moreover, the distance was mutual, since Alecino was looking at her so closely, Audrina could also see Alecino too clearly.
Alechino had extremely fair skin, three-dimensional facial features, and a bit of light-colored lip balm on her lips. But the most striking thing about her were her strange and weird eyes. The red cross looked like the bright red tombstone that was stained when Jesus died.
Audrin was somewhat fascinated by these eyes.
"Does it look good?" A muffled laugh escaped from his throat, and a hint of smile also appeared in his cross-shaped black eyes.
"Okay, um, sorry!" Audrin subconsciously wanted to answer the question, but suddenly realized something and quickly bowed her head to apologize to show her respect.
"It's okay. You've done bolder things before." Alechino let go of Audrin, leaned back, and leaned against the backrest lazily but elegantly.
So, what other outrageous things had she done in the past? Audrin screamed in her heart.
"After your trip, you've changed a lot in appearance, strength, and personality. You've also hidden a lot of secrets from your father. This isn't a bad thing. Children grow up and need their own privacy. This is normal. But I hope you can open your heart to your father like you did when you were a child."
"Okay, now..." Alechino looked straight at Audrin, with a little warmth in his tone: "Is there anything you want to say to your father?"
As expected of the Fourth Seat of the Fatui, he realized all of a sudden that he is not the same person as before?
Audrin considered and chose to partially confess: "Um, father, you may not believe it, but I lost my memory. It was around the time when the dragon disaster occurred in Mondstadt."
"It's not hard to guess. You haven't sent me a condolence letter for a long time, and the lady also mentioned your personality changes in the letter."
Ah, you discovered it so early?
"You don't seem surprised by my amnesia?" Audrin asked.
Alechino said calmly: "Of course it's not surprising. During the winter, you once experienced amnesia without any signs."
"That's why I asked the doctor to treat you. Unfortunately, the doctor's ability is insufficient. After so many years of treatment, there is still no progress."
"I also lost my memory during the winter?!" Audrin was really shocked.
This character was born in Mondstadt, right? Does she also have a system in Winter?
"I'm sorry, father, I don't remember anything. Can you tell me about my experience in Solstice? The more detailed the better."
"It's just an old story. Well, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
Alechino spoke as she recalled.
"The children found you in the woods west of Hearth House. When they found you, your breathing was weak and you were dying. Your body was as thin as a kitten, and your face was red and you looked feverish."
"The children didn't dare touch you for fear of contracting the disease. When they found you, they immediately called me over. I took you back to Hearth House and fed you some fever-reducing medicine, and then you woke up. No matter what questions I asked you, you didn't answer. You just stared at me blankly, and you didn't speak until you were hungry."
"After eating, you stopped talking and stood quietly beside me. Other children came to chase you away, but you didn't move. A strange thing happened. The other children couldn't touch you at all. It was as if there was an invisible layer between us. Why could I touch you but the other children couldn't?"
"This discovery made me very curious, so I took you to the doctor for examination. The interesting thing is that the doctor can touch you, and the visiting girl can also touch you. I guessed that only people with God's Eye can, or are qualified to touch you."
"This is so magical and weird. A little girl who appeared out of nowhere can only be touched by someone with the Eye of God. It's too much like a plot in a novel. So I keep you by my side every day and observe you all the time."
"Perhaps it's because you've gotten to know me for a while. You've become much more lively in front of me. Um... To be specific, I've discovered your love of playing pranks."
"I'm playing a prank on you?" Audrin was startled.
The servant smiled and said, "Of course not. Regardless of whether you have the strength or not, I am not that careless. It was the other children of Hearth House. Specifically, they were the older children who liked to bully you but couldn't. After you got better, you beat them all up."
"He's vindictive, a good character." Alechino commented and continued.
"Let's go on. After that, I became busy and seldom went back to Hearth House. You followed me to live in the Queen's Palace and got along well with the other executive officers. The girl didn't like to talk, but she got along well with you. The lady said at that time that she hated the appearance of inexplicable children in the Queen's Palace, but she would also take you out to eat when I didn't have time to take care of you."
"How about it? Doesn't it sound warm?" Alechino smiled and said, "Then one day, you suddenly fell into a coma without any warning. I took you to the doctor for examination, but he couldn't find anything. You had to wake up on your own."
"Luckily, you did wake up. But you lost your memory after waking up, and your eyes also changed from black to purple at that time. I have no idea why, so I'll just call it your talent or characteristic. Although you didn't remember anyone after waking up, you still felt familiar and close to me. When you got familiar with everyone again, I found that you could contact people without the Eye of God."
"After losing your memory, you will take the initiative to communicate with people with the Godless Eyes, and your personality has become much kinder. You know, before, unless they provoke you, you can't see the Godless Eyes at all. This sentence does not mean that you have a bad personality. From my observation, it seems that you really can't see them. This is simply a very strange phenomenon."
"Oh, by the way, before you lost your memory, you had a strong tendency to self-destruct. Unfortunately, under my care, it is difficult for you to do this. However, this phenomenon has become very weak after you lost your memory."
"The doctor said that you have accepted the world. It's a very confusing statement. I don't understand the meaning of it."
"After losing your memory, the bad side of your character remains the same. Seeing you being so active all day long, the Queen is troubled. The Queen, who is known for her kindness, will not punish a child, so she decided to let an officer teach you to read and write to improve your character.
"I was busy with the mission at that time and couldn't look after you all the time. The girls and ladies were sent to other places for missions. The captain said he didn't know how to take care of girls. The clown and the rooster ran away very quickly and even said they were illiterate. The rich simply said they were sick and couldn't go out."
"In the end, this task fell to Dotore, who had the highest academic qualifications among the executive officers."
Audrin felt like laughing for some reason after hearing this. This was Dotole's retribution.
"I don't know how well you learned, but the time you spent in Dotorre was really..." Alechino couldn't hide his gloating smile on his face: "You experienced the sufferings of the world."
"After that, my mission was almost completed. The Queen sent me to Fontaine for a long-term stay. I brought you to Fontaine and opened a 'Heart House' in Fontaine to conceal my identity."
"You haven't played with children of your age for a long time since you lost your memory, so you got along well with Linny and the others. Although you belong to the Fatui, I didn't plan to train you to be the successor of Hearth House. I could have kept you like this, but unfortunately the Queen's order came..."
Alechino sighed slightly. "She ordered me to let you go. She didn't tell me where or when to let you go, nor did she explain the reason to me. But she didn't need to explain it to me. Among the Fatui, the Queen is supreme."
"It just so happened that at that time, a couple came to adopt a child and they took a liking to you, so I took advantage of the situation and sent you out. I don't know where you went after you left. This was a secret order from the Queen, and I would not explain it to the ladies and others. I could only vaguely say that you left after accepting my special mission."
"After such a long time, you finally returned to Fontaine. This is a kind of destiny. The only thing I didn't expect was that you lost your memory again... I should call you Audrin now, right?" Alechino slowly straightened up: "Long time no see, Audrin."
"This is the story of the past. Are you satisfied with it, Audrin?"
Audrin was distracted for a moment, and after a moment she replied, "Thank you, father, for your story."
Could her past experience be so fulfilling? Some details matched, which was enough to prove the truth of Alechino's words, but why did she lose her memory, why did her eyes change color after losing her memory, why could she not see the NPC before losing her memory, but could see it after losing her memory?
Why did some fragmented and elusive images flash through her mind from time to time when she listened to Arlecchino's story?
Did she really enter the game? The background setting of the past is too perfect.
Audrin's fingers unconsciously twirled her dress, and a dull pain began to form deep in her brain.
"I have no doubts, father. It's great to meet you again. It's all thanks to you." Although her thoughts were in a mess, Audrin smiled gently and modestly and said respectfully.
"After going out, you have become more talkative." Audrin's flattery was very useful to Alecino. She raised her eyebrows and reached out to rub Audrin's hair: "It's so beautiful."
"Alechino's favorability +5, Alechino's favorability 85, total favorability collected 4293"
Ah, is the servant's favorability so high?
Looking at the system broadcast in front of him, Audrin was really shocked.
"Father..." Linni appeared out of nowhere: "The spies reported that the young master was accused of being the murderer of the [serial disappearance of girls case]. Do you want to go and take a look?"
When she saw Lini, Audrin suddenly realized that she and Alechino had chatted all night.
"No need. Who on earth would make such a ridiculous accusation?" Alechino waved his hand. "I don't think such an accusation will succeed. He will come back by himself in a while."
"I want to go and take a look." Audrin said, "I'll go and see the young master. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Well, that's fine." Thinking of the fact that Fontaine would do anything for the sake of drama in the trial, Alechino pondered for a moment and chose to agree.
When Audrin hurried to the Obi Klay Opera House, she ran into Navia.
Navia knew Audrin, but she didn't bother to greet her now. She pushed open the door and shouted, "This matter has nothing to do with him. He is not the murderer!"
Navilette was a little distressed: "Ms. Navia, please don't disrupt the order, otherwise I can also convict you of "contempt of trial"."
Navia: "None of this matters. What I want to say is that I want to accuse the real murderer of the [Girl Disappearance Case]! If my accusation is valid, then Mr. Tartaglia is naturally innocent."
Audrin stood beside Navia and defended Tartaglia: "Yes, considering his age, the young master is definitely not the murderer behind the scenes."
That Villette nodded slightly: "Well, regardless of your previous behavior, Miss Audrin's reasons are very reasonable and alleviate the suspicion of Mr. Young Master."
Tartaglia smiled brightly: "Audrin, are you worried about me? That's why you came all the way here, right?"
Audrin looked away guiltily: No, I just want to have fun. The scene described in the text where Villette easily suppresses the young master is really not to be missed.
