The Faceless Man said:

"Have I not always been by your side? Miss Neely, have you forgotten? I am you and always have been. I am the thought you don't want to admit. I was born out of madness and abnormality. You and the world

Together they shaped me.”

Nelly asked:

"Why did you come to me?"

The faceless man chuckled:

"What is the purpose of a person talking to himself? Does a normal person need a reason to think? I am you, not that I found it, but that you wanted to see me, so we met.

"I'm not a monster, I'm you, Nelly, why do you want to imagine me as the criminal who killed your father? You don't need to be afraid of me, I am you."

Nelly asked:

"Then why do you want to spread it to others and become a spreading disease?"

He shook his head, then reached out and rubbed his face, revealing Nelly's own face:

"I spread the disease? I didn't do anything. I'm a part of you. I definitely don't know half more about that phenomenon than you do?"

"I am just a figment in your mind. If anyone has a problem, that person will only be you. It is never me who is sick, but you.

"There is no special reason for you to meet me, let alone any meaning. Not everything in the world is meaningful, Nelly, you have to know."

Nelly asked:

"Then why do you use my father's appearance..."

Fake Nelly replied:

"I did not take on the appearance of your father. It was you who imagined me to be like your father, and it was you who twisted me into a shape-shifter. From the beginning to the end, I could not escape from your grasp.

"You are the one who is grudged, and you are the one who is crazy. I want to lead you to the right path, but I gradually find that I do not have the ability to save you.

"The reason why you will see me is very simple, that is, you have fainted and your consciousness is sinking, approaching a place that is usually inaccessible but always exists. We are in the depths of your mind, the palace of consciousness you built yourself.

middle."

Nelly murmured:

"I fainted?"

Shapeshifter said:

"You encounter a green monster, and as usual, you rush forward and get knocked unconscious by its tail.

"If it hadn't been for luck and Ha La saved you, you would have died.

"hero."

The faceless man sneered:

"Time after time, do you think luck will always be on your side? You don't kill people with the Ax of Mortavi, but without the Ax of Mortavi, you can't even see me.

"Since you rely on it, just admit that you rely on it. What are the so-called rules and how can it help? If just because of your stubbornness, Hala died and Enid went crazy, how would you face Her?

Wen, how do you face yourself?"

Nelly looked at her hallucination with calm eyes.

The faceless man continued to ask:

"You know, right? This is not just about you at all. Your bargaining chip has never been just your life. Why stick to the bottom line? Did that day destroy your sanity and turn you into a pathetic lunatic?"

Nelly continued to be silent.

The Faceless Man almost completely transformed into Nellie:

"Your father is dead, and I know that's bad, because that's my father too, but you have to come out, otherwise you will make the same mistake..."

Nelly advised gently:

"It wasn't a mistake, I just failed."

The hallucination expression is full of confusion:

"What did you say?"

Nelly said:

"I am not God, so I will always fail. No one in this world will always win and succeed, but even if we know that lowering the bottom line can make it easier for us to succeed, we still need to always keep in mind the line that we are unwilling to give up.

"Otherwise, we only need to lower the bottom line again and again, and we will never "fail", right?

"I know that what I abide by may not be that important in the eyes of some people. Even you, myself, will ask myself from time to time, is this really worth it?"

The shapeshifter asked:

"does it worth?"

Nelly nodded and said:

"worth."

Shapeshifter said:

"Don't you think it's selfish? In order to make the death of the deceased person not so bad, you put your friends in more danger."

Nelly said:

"You know, not just for them, but for the sake of it.

"I have never put my friends in more danger. I will fight until the last moment for them. I just didn't do my best, but no one can do their best.

"It is never a sin not to do your best, and no one needs to blame himself for it."

The faceless man asked:

"you mean?"

Nelly said:

"It has never been my duty to sacrifice everything to save others. I save people just because I want to. Whether they blame me for not paying enough or even resent me for not being able to save everyone has nothing to do with me.

"I am not a god, and I have never wanted to be a god. It doesn't matter whether the world sees me as a god. Even if they put me on the altar, I am only a human being.
