Chapter 293 Substitute
Chapter 293 Substitute
"What are you talking about? I told you, I am you."
The girl came back to her senses and quickly looked away, avoiding Evelin's probing gaze.
"You don't have to hide it from me."
"I know you are Liz, and I also know that you have been in my body watching me grow, watching me and Garland's life."
"It's just... am I really a substitute created by your obsession?"
Evelin paused and spoke, and when she mentioned the substitute, the dimness flashing in her pupils did not escape the girl's eyes.
"You are not my replacement."
The girl explained anxiously, but the next second she found that she had completely let the cat out of the bag.
"Can you tell me why you don't want to leave?"
Evelyn looked at the girl again, sitting on the ground with her and leaning against her.
"I am indeed Lilith, not a spirit or a ghost."
"It's just the last trace of Lilith's will left in this world, attached to her ability to predict the future."
"It has been sleeping in your body all this time."
Evelin frowned deeply after hearing this, and couldn’t help but think of how she had doubted herself time and again about who she was.
"Although you are asleep, I can still see all your life trajectories."
"I thought this was an opportunity given to me by God, allowing me to start a new life with the regrets of my previous life."
"So, I also tried to interfere with some of the decisions you made."
"But every time I interfere, the power of my thoughts disappears a little."
“And then I find that the things I change happen again in another way.”
“At that moment I realized that I did not belong to this world and that I had no ability to correct my trajectory.”
"You are the real me in reality, with your own personality and ideas, which are completely opposite to my previous personality."
"We had completely opposite upbringings, so there was nothing I could do to interfere."
"I am only allowed to be a spectator. I can only appear when you discover your last ability."
"And tell you all the doubts you have about this stuff."
The smile on Lilith's face was a little too bitter, but even so, she tried her best to suppress it.
She is the only one among Lilith's many memory fragments that possesses her thoughts and personality.
So she also inherited all of Lilith's obsession and unwillingness. She is the final Lilith.
When Evelyn was born and she was sucked back into Evelyn's body by an inexplicable force, she thought it was God who gave her a new life.
Give her a new life, start over, atone for the sins she committed in her previous life, and rewrite the fate of Garland, Vincent, and Lilith.
Later, she realized that even if she had life again, she could never go back to the past.
Everything turned to dust after the Battle of Anders. Garland had long lost his memory, and Vincent was completely opposed to the Lan family.
Her father Ron died, and her grandfather Edward grew old and became unable to handle many things.
Everything was gone and she had no way to change the fate of the three of them as she had imagined.
We can only move forward along the trajectory that has been arranged by fate, and there is no turning back.
As far as Evelyn could remember, she had tried many times to change Evelyn's way of doing things and her thinking.
She wanted to use Evelynde's body to readjust the troubled relationship between Garland and Vincent.
But every time Evelin prepared for a 'chance encounter', she would be inexplicably interrupted.
It was so outrageous that even if Evelin could see Vincent immediately when she turned the corner the next second, she suddenly turned back and walked in the opposite direction the next second.
It's like a human machine controlled by a huge system. As long as she behaves contrary to it, she will be repaired immediately and the memory will not be retained.
Finally, she has Lilith’s last ability – the ability to foresee the future.
What she could foresee was not as far ahead as Evelyn's current one.
At first they were things that would happen in a few minutes or hours.
As Evelyn's reality power grows stronger, she will slowly see what will happen in a few days or months.
At this time, Lilith no longer regarded Evelyn as a substitute for herself, but as a sister with a real personality, who could think independently and was her closest blood relative.
She hopes to watch her car grow and live a different life instead of herself.
Every time she foresaw a bad future, she tried her best to help Evelyn turn it around.
It could be as small as her tripping over a stone on the road, or as big as Evelyn being hurt by the enemy at any second while on a mission.
She had no ability to communicate with the outside world, nor could she leave Evelind's body.
She could only remind her through dreams, presenting what was about to happen in Evelyn's dreams.
"No wonder I always encountered strange things when I was a kid."
“I dreamed a few times that I would be chased and bitten by a dog, but I never expected that I would actually be chased by Ollie’s dog the next day!”
"So it was you who reminded me!"
Evelin was filled with utterances, and before she knew it, her mood had changed slightly when facing Lilith.
Through the topic of dreaming, Evelyn seemed to have become closer to Lilith.
It's like sisters who keep in touch but never meet.
Even if there is still unfamiliarity and vigilance at the beginning, it only takes an opportunity to open your hearts and talk about everything.
"I also warned you not to climb that tree, remember?"
Lilith smiled faintly, looking at Evelin with a hint of doting in her eyes.
"I still remember it! But I didn't take it seriously."
"In the end, he fell down and landed on a big rock and broke his arm."
Evelin thought for a moment, and immediately found the memory that Lilith mentioned.
"Yeah, you're too disobedient."
Lilith shook her head helplessly.
"But it was a blessing in disguise for me. I haven't been forced to train for more than a month."
Evelin laughed out loud, a rare occurrence, and comforted Lilith in a relaxed tone.
"I was just saying that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and it's only been a month and you're already urging me to go train."
"If Grandpa treated me like this, I would definitely go against him every day and never obey him!"
"Anyway, my father and brother will protect me, so it's useless for grandpa to be mean to me."
Lilith looked at Evelyn's broken arm and pouted, her tone and face showing dissatisfaction with Edward.
"Grandpa... is really good to you."
The light in Evelin's eyes dimmed after hearing this, and Lilith suddenly realized that she seemed to have said too much.
After all, Edward's childhoods for her and Evelyn were completely opposite.
