"Will you change yourself because other people's perceptions change?" Ketria gave Panis a angrily glance: "When we are born, we are also independent souls. How can we change with other people's perceptions? Think about the gods born from faith, we are essentially the same as them."

"Are you independent from faith after your birth?" Panis said thoughtfully: "In that case, even if all your books that carry your legends are destroyed, or even if no one remembers you anymore, you will be like those gods, unless they are attacked against the origin, they will only fall into weakness and not completely die."

"We can't even be weak." Ketria said: "Those gods will be weak because of the severance of faith because they can gain more powerful power from faith. When the severance of faith, their original power cannot support the consumption of the huge kingdom of gods, and they will naturally fall into weakness. But we are different. The audience's certainty cannot bring us strength. Since we have not gained anything, after the severance of faith, we will naturally not lose anything, and of course, it will not completely disappear."

"Well, Lina, why are she looking for you all these years like she has been crazy?" Panis said with a wry smile: "I thought those books were out of print, and losing the carrier and affirmation would lead to your decline. But it didn't work. Then you tell her, why make her so nervous every time?"

"It's not entirely our fault." Ketria smiled a little apologetically and explained: "The child is so nervous not because we will die, but because she can only communicate with us through books."

"Yeah? What does it mean?" Panis felt that he was so impressed that he asked in confusion: "Don't you live in the library in her spiritual world? Why do you still need to communicate through books?"

"How do you know that we live in the library? Oh, it must be the child who told you." Ketria sighed and said, "That is actually the scope limited by the child, and we can't change it. Although we are actually living in her heart and can communicate with her at any time, she believes that she can only see us and hear our hearts whispers when holding books. She firmly believes in this, so that even if the friends she has not yet found are standing in front of her in the world of her heart, she can't see or hear it."

"You can't even tell her?" Panis rubbed his chin and raised the question in his heart, but immediately denied his thoughts: "I'm afraid it won't work. This is the deepest cognition in the heart, and it may be difficult to change."

"Yeah. It's very difficult." Ketria nodded and admitted: "We have tried it before, but it has no effect. In fact, it's just an accident that we can communicate with her."

"Accident?" asked Panis. "This is the first time I heard that Lina has never spoken about your past."

"Ha, because she doesn't know much about our existence." Ketria smiled and said, "After all, our existence is rarely known. It is normal for her to not understand."

"It is true that few people know, at least I have never heard of you." Panis nodded and said, "Where did you live before you moved to Lina's spiritual world? Or, among your kind, those who are not recognized and accepted by Lina, may not be able to move into her soul. Where are they?"

"I can't give you the answer." Ketria shook her head and said, "Because it is a world that you can't understand, or the existing common words cannot describe that place, um. You can imagine that it is a world formed by the fantasies of all living things from ancient times to the present. All of our kind live in that world until the child resonates with us, and curiosity makes us surrounded by her and finally move to her spiritual world. Maybe many years later, when she leaves this world, or when her mind is no longer clear and cannot communicate with us, we will return to the original world and repeat the previous life, of course. There are other possibilities in the future, but then we need to make a decision at that time."

"Wait, my heart is clear?" Panis was stunned and said in a deep thought: "This word seems to make me understand something."

"Haha. It seems you have thought of it." Ketria covered her mouth and chuckled: "In fact, our existence is not really so unknown. Often, only people with clear hearts and simple thoughts can perceive our existence and communicate with us. However, their relatives and friends cannot perceive us, so they often regard these people's description of us as a fantasy. At the same time, they regard these people as a state of madness, always thinking about changing them and returning to normal. After a long time, those who can communicate with us can be relatable.

People who communicate with each other are either influenced by their relatives and friends, resist our existence from the bottom of their hearts, and eventually close the door to communication, or stick to their own ideas, but are excluded and alienated by everyone around them, and eventually it is really abnormal because of inner depression. After many times such things happen, we are less willing to communicate with those talented people. After all, being able to communicate with us means that she really likes us. How can we bear to let them endure pain because of their liking?”

"Well, indeed, Lina is special." Panis nodded, "Not everyone can accept and tolerate her seemingly crazy and quirky behaviors like Catherine. But at that time, you wouldn't know that she would meet Catherine."

"Of course not, but it was very special at that time." Ketria explained: "At that time, loneliness and loneliness had made her really abnormal. After all, except her gods, she had no one to accompany her in the empty library. So she was fantasizing about books every day, fantasizing about living with us, fantasizing about us being by her side, and even imitating our words and deeds, imitating every word we have said."

"So, you're really here?" asked Penis, "Called by her fantasy?"
