Chapter 142 Conversation with Myself in the Mirror
Margrave Bach's fief, manor villa.
The third floor of the villa, the maid's room.
A young woman wearing a maid uniform was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the glass mirror in front of her, with an extremely frightened expression on her face.
The woman looks pure and pleasant, with a slightly round face, which adds to the cuteness, and is full of first love. She wears a long light blue hair shawl and a white lace scarf on her head. She should be full of youth and vitality.
At this age, he is full of twilight, as if he is an old man who is about to die.
This strong sense of dissonance, coupled with the woman's frightened expression, is full of an alternative and strange feeling.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Anna looked at herself with a fearful expression in the mirror and spoke slowly, her voice trembling.
As Anna finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of "Anna"'s mouth in the mirror. A rather horrifying scene occurred. Anna clearly did not open her mouth, but "Anna" in the picture opened her mouth on her own.
Speak out one word after another, making a hoarse man's voice:
"You should be grateful for my kindness, not to devour you directly and replace your identity..."
"You're just afraid of showing off... Lord Marquis, Lord Adrian can kill you. You keep me here just so that you don't attract attention." Anna suppressed the fear in her heart and tried her best to stare at the image in the mirror in front of her.
I want to show myself less cowardly.
Thanks to the development of industry and the industrial reforms promoted by the Mechanicum, this kind of exquisite glass mirror can enter thousands of households, allowing ordinary civilians and citizens to enjoy the glass mirror that was once only available to the aristocratic class.
But at this moment, Anna didn't feel happy or happy at all.
It even felt scary. She wished that the mirror in front of her was blurry so that she could not see so clearly!
I am relatively satisfied with my appearance, but I never thought that one day I would be so scared to see myself...
After being invaded by the weird meat ball, Anna knew that she was no longer an ordinary person. She was even not sure that she was still alive. Can she be considered alive?
Being controlled by the meat ball, I was standing next to Master Huo Qi, but I couldn't control my hands and feet, and I couldn't control my facial features. I was like a passer-by, letting others control me to complete everything that I should complete on a daily basis.
"Well, that can be considered a reason."
"Anna" showed a smile, admitted this point generously, and continued: "Although I am quite satisfied with your body, it is a pity that your body is still too weak to support the heart of the vampire duke.
You are about to die, let me think about it, you should live for ten days..."
"It's a pity. Although I have secretly absorbed the blood of many servants, you are still aging uncontrollably. What a pity! The blood of ordinary people is still too weak after all..."
Upon hearing the news, Anna's expression froze and her eyes instantly turned red. Although she had known that she might not live long, knowing the date of her death still made her, a girl who was about to become an adult, feel deeply terrified and frightened...
…
Why did things become like this...
Anna's tears fell drop by drop, she bit her lip and cried until she was in tears.
She didn't want to die, she was only 17 years old, and she would be an adult in ten days.
She hasn't been to the commercial streets of the Imperial Capital yet, she hasn't eaten the most famous snacks in the Imperial Capital, she hasn't worn her favorite lace dress...
She still has so many things she wants to do... Why?
Why would something like this happen to me?
"Ana, shall I give you a chance?"
"Anna" in the mirror looked at Anna, with a faint smile on her face, and suddenly said.
"What...what...opportunity?" Anna gradually stopped crying and looked at herself in the mirror with sobs.
"Do me a favor and lure Hodge out of the manor. It doesn't matter which village it is. As long as you can do this, I can help you resurrect."
"Your body is no longer usable, but it doesn't matter. I can transplant your soul into someone else's body, just like mine now. Then, I will help you erase the other person's intelligence, and you can become another person completely.
You can continue your unfinished life alone."
"How about it?"
"Is this deal fair?"
Bishop Johns, who defected from the Mechanicum, looked at Anna and revealed his purpose.
He knew this woman would not refuse.
Of course, he will not fulfill his promise. He is a saint, a demigod and a half-human being. How can he fulfill his promise to an ant?
A dying person is an ordinary person, and his soul is already riddled with holes. How can he return to life through his corpse?
"What do you want to do to Master Hoch?" Anna is not stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart. She can stand out from many maids and become Master Hoch's personal maid. There is no doubt about her intelligence and ability.
"As you think, you are already going to die, what do you care about Hotch?"
"He is just a noble young master. Do you really think he will marry you, an ordinary person? A maid?"
"Stop dreaming and cooperate with me honestly. You can still borrow someone else's identity and continue to live."
"If you are willing, I can give you a better identity and be reborn. How about noble lady?"
"You are just a commoner, not even a citizen, but you have become a noble in one step and have the life of a noble. Isn't this more comfortable than being a maid and taking care of others?"
Johns looked at Anna and continued to bewitch her with words.
He didn't think that a commoner woman would refuse such an opportunity to rise to the top in one step.
Noble!
This is nobility!
In this country where the class system prevails, the gap in status is almost something that ordinary people cannot overcome despite their hard work throughout their lives.
And at this moment, there was an opportunity in front of her. As long as she was a normal person, she would know how to choose?
What kind of bullshit romantic love story?
What kind of bloody third-rate plot script?
Everything is fake, only the benefits obtained are the most real things.
No one can resist this temptation!
Johns couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, looking at the weak Anna as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He has defeated the other party.
On one side is life and the future, on the other side is death.
As long as you are a normal person, you probably know how to choose, right?
"Really...really?" Anna looked at herself in the mirror and asked with some fear.
"Of course it's true. You're almost dead, so why should I lie to you?"
"I can possess you, and of course I can also let you possess others and continue to live."
"Aristocratic lady?"
"This is a position you can't climb even if you serve others all your life..."
"Think carefully, you only have one chance."
"die?"
"Still alive?"
"If a person dies, there will be nothing left..."
A trace of ripples flashed in Johns's eyes. He used extraordinary abilities and began to use psychological hypnosis to gradually influence Anna and make her believe in his words.
Anna's eyes gradually blurred, she nodded slightly, and murmured: "Yes, there is only one chance. I can't die, I want to live, I want to live well..."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Johns smiled and nodded, and continued to confuse: "If you don't kill yourself for yourself, you have to climb up for yourself at all costs. Living is more important than anything else. If a person dies, there will be nothing, only living.
Only then can you have everything.”
"Hodge can't give you what you want. Only I, only I can give it to you."
"Only if you choose to help me can you become a noble, can you have power and wealth, and can you live a happy life."
"What's wrong with you?"
"You are not wrong."
"He is nice to you, but what does it mean to sacrifice a noble boy for his own life?"
"You are the most important thing."
"You are everything."
Anna's eyes gradually became firm, and she nodded seriously, repeating Johns' words: "Yes, I am the most important thing, I am everything, I want to live for myself, I want to live, I want to become a noble
…”
"Yes, that's it."
A satisfied smile appeared on Johns' lips. He enjoyed the feeling of toying with others. He was looking forward to the day when Hodge would have a complete showdown.
