Perhaps, this is also a hint. A dog that doesn’t look like a dog corresponds to several people who don’t look like humans.

Marian understood what they were surprised about, and explained with a faint smile: "Water has no fixed shape. Life will choose the form it needs, but whether this has anything to do with its essence is another question."

"This reminds me of something special." Sandoni looked at the wild boar called a dog, "Once upon a time, there was a man named Carter. He was Alan's first assistant. Unlike those geniuses, Carter was very ordinary.

Moreover, he is not as healthy as a normal person because he does not have a healthy body and has been bedridden for many years. "

"I seem to have heard of the assistant Carter you mentioned. It is said that he was sent to Xumi due to his serious illness. In the end, Xumi's medical treatment did not bring a miracle and he still died." Saphir learned this information from Xier.

When Xier was about to go to Fontaine, she had looked up stories related to Fontaine, and then found such a record in the medical records of the Shenglun School.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to this name until the Vashé incident broke out and she learned the names of Rene and Jacob. Then this medical record of an accompanying person with the same name caught Xier's attention again.

That's how Safire learned the news.

Sandoni nodded slightly: "Yes, it is this Carter. Because his condition became more and more serious, he had to be taken to Xumi for treatment, but Xumi was unable to cure his disease. In the end, Jacob...

Heh… Jacob, who had transformed himself into the Singer of the Abyss due to an accident and found out that his body was quite compatible with the energy of the Abyss, proposed to transform Carter into the same appearance.”

"Jacob is such a daredevil, the Singer of the Abyss... Sandone, do you mean that if I meet him in the future, I should ignore his identity as the Singer of the Abyss, extend an olive branch to him, or even spend my energy to save him?" Saphir was very unhappy when he heard this.

A person who has fallen into the abyss is not qualified to ask for sympathy from others.

Sandoni shook his head slightly: "The specific situation is naturally subject to your own opinion. I just told you some information. The rest is not my business."

Upon hearing this, Saphir spread his hands and motioned for her to continue.

Sandoni went on to say, "Although Jacob's proposal was very bold, the hot-blooded Rene was also not lacking in courage, so the two began the experiment."

Chen Xi frowned: "Did they succeed?"

"They failed." Sandoni chuckled. "How can a body that is compatible with the energy of the abyss be so common? The huge energy of the abyss corroded Carter's body, and his life instantly became a candle in the wind, and he almost died.

The moment he realized that Carter was beyond help, Rene acted decisively, changed the experimental process at that time, and transferred Carter's consciousness into other containers.

And that container is a puppy that was randomly caught there."

"It's really ironic. The so-called friendship, never leaving or abandoning, after some misbehavior, gave Carter the opportunity to survive by becoming a dog. Is this the heavy friendship of geniuses?" Safire said sarcastically.

Chen Xi also nodded in agreement: "If it were me, I would rather die than lose everything. Didn't he ever think of resisting or refusing?"

"Mediocre people are always tolerant and blindly trust geniuses. Let alone resistance, as long as these two geniuses can be helped, Carter will probably be happy to do it." Saphir saw through Carter's thoughts at a glance, and she had nothing to say about it.

All I can say is, this is the choice.

Sandoni listened to Saphir's words quietly, and waited until she finished speaking before speaking: "Or maybe, for some people, the shape of the body is not important?

I once heard the idea that the body is a prison that holds back evolution.”

Marianne immediately nodded in agreement: “I’ve heard this view before… René… He was just a child once.

We and many others have listened to his many stories, stories about how life was once as amorphous as water, and how the soul was once without boundaries and therefore infinite.

Many have abandoned their bodies, for if water can be taken from the blood, then the mind can be taken from the form."

"But even if you pour water on the dried black-brown dust, it can no longer become blood again." An suddenly interrupted, as if he had seen something similar before.

Her reaction attracted the attention of others.

What Marianne said was actually what René encountered during his research, and it is also the basis of his theory.

What An said should be the failures he encountered in his experiments.

Saphir felt a little annoyed. Didn't Rene ever think of avoiding Marianne when he was conducting the experiment?

How else would Marianne know these details?

Or maybe, this is actually a storm shelter in Lei Nei?

After Marianne and Lilith merged, Rene would often come back and tell Marianne, who was unable to leave, about his experiences and the difficulties he encountered, just like telling a story.

Safire could no longer find out exactly what the situation was, but she was almost certain from the behavior of Marianne and Ann that the separation of the two did not happen at the beginning, and something else might have happened afterwards, which led to Marianne becoming two individuals.

"Do you know something?" Safire asked softly.

An scratched his head: "Well, I remembered some things, although... although I really don't want to remember them."

"Ann, how much do you remember?" Marian asked immediately with anticipation.

An said in confusion: "I don't know, but a lot of emotions and scenes, happy words and angry words, suddenly emerged together. I don't know..."

"I understand." Marian nodded solemnly, then looked at the boar-like dog, "You go first, and be a good dog."

The dog nodded immediately: "Understood. Goodbye, Miss Marian, and the distinguished guests."

After watching the dog go away until he could no longer see its figure, Saphir turned around and looked at Marianne: "We have disturbed you long enough. It is time for us to leave."

"Are we leaving now?" An suddenly panicked, "But, we haven't found Princess Lilith yet..."

Saphir smiled at An Wen, "Princess Lilith, hasn't it been found?"

"What?" An was confused.

Saphir looked at the calm Marianne with a solemn look: "Marianne is Alan's sister. She died in the battle between Alan and Rene and others in the Erinus region. Later, she was brought to Narcissus Cross by Rene and found the former dean, the pure water elf Lilith.

Later, for unknown reasons, the consciousness of Lilith and Marian merged, and a new pure water elf named Marian was born.

The story of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group is just a fairy tale from beginning to end, and it is an unfinished fairy tale.

Because children don't pay much attention to time when they are playing, they will always spend the day playing and fighting until the bell rings and it is time to go to bed.

The story of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group may have had an ending at the beginning, but as time went by, that ending was no longer important.

Because for the orphanage, the ending of a story is not important. What is important is what the children learn and the happiness they gain while playing.

Children's nature determines that this adventure will never come to an end. When a new day comes, they will not start from where they ended yesterday, but will start a new adventure from the beginning.

Over time, the story of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group was cut off on the journey to find Princess Lilith.

That is why we hear the repetitive sound of bells in the repetitive construction process, which is the children's personal experience.

There the adventure ended, the day was over, and it was time for them to go to bed.”

Marianne listened in silence.

Saphir continued, "The story time is over. Next, it's time to talk about the reward."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and sent Chenxi Sandoni and An out of here, leaving only herself and Marian confronting each other.

Seeing Saphir's move, Marian did not panic, because from the very beginning this girl showed extraordinary control over time and space.

She said calmly, "At this point, you chose to send your companion away. Isn't that a bit too reckless?"

"Reckless?" Safire sneered. "Here, in this world, there aren't many things I can call reckless, but I've done it many times. This time, for me, it's not reckless at all."

"What do you want?" Marian didn't want to fight with Saphir. Not to mention how strong Saphir was, Marian herself was not good at fighting.

Saphir moved her right wrist, and a layer of red light film covered her right hand. This was the preparatory performance of the heart-ripping technique. In the next moment, she could dig out the opponent's heart.

But she did not act immediately. If possible, she did not intend to completely break off with this pure water elf.

She said calmly: "What I want is called the Heart of Marian. Can you give it to me?"

"Marian's Heart..." Marian was a little surprised, "It's useless to you. What do you want it for?"

Saphir tilted his head and said, "The situation in Erinus has not been resolved. As a lonely soul wandering there like Bethel, Marian's resistance is also a barrier that we must break through."

"You're going to Erinus." Marian's expression finally changed, and after a while she shook her head to dissuade him, "What are you going there for? You can just leave it there and forget about it."

Saphir shook his head. "Now is not the time to talk about this. The secret realm of Erinus has begun to expand for some other reasons. If left unchecked, it may swallow up the entire Fontaine, and even the whole world. I can't just leave it alone."

"It shouldn't be like this. Why would Erinus expand..." Marian didn't quite believe what Saphir said and just shook her head vigorously.

Safir was too lazy to continue explaining and took a step forward to take action.

Looking at the red palm getting closer and closer to her, Marian's face suddenly changed. A light blue light curtain enveloped her and forced Saphir to stop moving forward.

Stopping what he was doing, Safire did not show any surprise, but stood there and stared at Marianne who was squatting with her head in her hands.

After a long time, Marianne stood up again, but her eyes had completely changed.

Marian stood up again and looked at Saphir with a sad face: "Nice to meet you, Aurora of the Fatui."

"Do you know me?" Saphir raised his eyebrows.

Marianne nodded slowly: "Pure water spirits can sense the emotions in the water. I felt everything you did in Fontaine through the water."

"In that case, that's fine. I don't need to introduce myself." Saphir was already used to what the pure water elves could do, so he didn't bother to think about it. "Tell me, who are you?"

Marian placed her right hand on her chest and said, "Haven't you been looking for me? The dean of Narcissus Cross Academy, the pure water fairy Lilith."

"The pure water spirit that merged with Marian? I thought you two had completely merged into one, but I didn't expect you to still retain your own spiritual consciousness. It seems that you two are not so close after all." Saphir said sarcastically.

Marianne, no, I should call her Lilith, but Lilith was unmoved: "You don't have to irritate me for some purpose, and I won't be angry with you for this.

As the hero who saved Fontaine and the guest of honor of His Majesty the Water God, you have all the rights to boss me around."

"That's really lucky. So, can you give Marian's Heart to me? In order to save some face for you, I sent Marianne away, otherwise that guy would be miserable." Saphir had a clear purpose.

In response to her request, Lilith did not show any movement to take anything, but spread her hands: "Since you have already guessed the relationship between Ann and Marian, why don't you think about what supports Ann to separate from Marian as the main body and exist on her own?"

"You mean... Damn it! An is actually Marian's Heart? The key I need?" How could Saphir not understand what Lilith meant?

She slapped her forehead, feeling upset at her own mistake.

"Even the wisest man can make mistakes. Having too many things in your head at the same time has dulled your senses." Lilith sighed slightly, "When I realized that you would come to take away Marian's Heart, I sent the things you needed out of here. Unfortunately, you still had to meet her."

Saphir put his hands on his hips and looked at the depressed Lilith in front of him: "Will she feel happy in this eternal lonely place?"

"She has experienced the hustle and bustle of life too many times while walking in this world. I just hope that she can enjoy a moment of peace before closing her eyes forever. This child has such a hard life." Lilith turned her head away and did not look into Saphir's eyes.

Her words had made it very clear, directly rejecting the possibility of Safir helping them.

Seeing this, Saphir was too lazy to force it and nodded slightly: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Lilith who was still standing there: "As the dean, what do you think of René and Jacob?"

"They are all good kids, gentle, kind, brave and determined. It's just that some extreme ideas led them to go astray, but in essence, they are still children that I am proud of," said Lilith.

After hearing this, Safir nodded in understanding: "Okay, I understand, goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saphir's figure flashed and he left here in an instant.

After a long time, a sigh resounded in this empty area: "Why wouldn't I...want to go back to the past, to see them again, to...experience that warm time again..."
