Master of Marvel World
Chapter 356 Betty's Book
"Now? Brother, if you are too anxious, you will be bored by girls." Parker flew in front of Shen He, and he saw his purpose at a glance.
"That's why I asked Parker to go with me." Shen He laughed, "If Parker is there, Beatrice will become super talkative."
Joan of Arc reminded Shen He yesterday.
If you don't know Beatrice's wish, go find it.
As a master, a contract servant is the same as chasing a girl. How can you be trusted if you don't have a thick skin? In this regard, you need to learn from Natsuki Subaru.
"No problem, because Emilia was rescued by you again yesterday, so no matter what kind of request it is," Parker agreed briskly.
In its heart, Emilia will always come first.
What's more, Shenhe is not a good home for Beatrice.
"However——" Parker sat on Shen He's shoulder, and after Emilia left, he changed his tone and began with a transition word, "It's not that easy to take Beatrice away—— In a sense, it doesn't even have anything to do with Beatrice's will?"
"What do you mean? A contract?"
Shen He also reacted after being stunned for a moment.
For elves, any behavior that has nothing to do with their own will can only be a contract.
They value contracts over life.
"That's right, the reason why Beatrice stayed in the mansion and guarded the forbidden library was because she had made such a contract with someone." Parker seemed a little reluctant to talk about this topic.
"It won't be Roswaal." Shen He had already guessed from Parker's attitude, "The Envious Witch?"
The only person who can make Parker the Great Elf unwilling to talk about it is probably the Envious Witch.
"Hahaha, no."
Unexpectedly, Parker vetoed Shen He's guess.
Fortunately, he didn't continue to play tricks.
"It's the witch of lust. She is also the creator of Beatrice. In fact, she is different from me. Beatrice is an 'artificial elf'. That's why she can't gather magic power on her own."
"Greedy Witch." Shen He stopped in his tracks, "Isn't she dead?"
It is well known that the Witch of Envy killed the other six Witches hundreds of years ago.
If the one who restricted Beatrice was the dead witch of lust, then it would be a bit troublesome, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't go to a dead person to ask to settle the contract.
"It's not wrong to say that I'm dead." Parker's voice was silent for a while, and then he suddenly sighed, "Because my memory has also become incomplete, and I don't know many things, but if you want to take Beatrice away, you should It is necessary to meet certain requirements, and it is up to you whether you can let Beatrice express the requirements."
"Understood." Shen He continued to take steps.
He rarely does things that he is not sure of. It can even be said that everything he has done so far has a chance of winning more than 80%.
There is a feeling that everything is under control.
However, this does not mean that Shen He will not do things that are not sure.
Raise your spirits, pay attention to observation, pay attention to thinking.
Shen He put his hand on the handle of the door, and opened it.
"Brother, have you come to play with Betty again?"
A super greasy voice came from in front of her, and Beatrice had a super cute smile on her face, but unfortunately it wasn't for Shen He.
boom--!
The moment Parker entered, the door was slammed shut.
Is it an illusion?
Shen He, who was locked out of the door, was a little weird, and he always felt that Beatrice's attitude towards him seemed to be even worse.
Put your hand on the doorknob again.
If Beatrice directly transferred the "Any Door" to another room, it meant that there must be some reason driving her to act like this, otherwise, Shen He couldn't think of any reason for him to be avoided.
Again unexpectedly, the door opened.
Beatrice just sat on the small bench not far from the door, as if she had always been sitting there.
"Come in." Although Beatrice hugged Parker, her expression was filled with indescribable frustration, "Because my brother pleaded for you, Betty will explain it to you mercifully."
"."
Shen He walked in silently, and then gave Parker a thankful expression.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how should Betty explain this!"
Beatrice suddenly swung her fluffy twin ponytails, and rubbed Parker's body on her face helplessly.
Shen He couldn't help but suspect that she just wanted to lick the cat.
"Let's start with the reason why you stay here." Shen He was also amused by this scene.
"Hoo hoo." Beatrice puffed her cheeks, and finally calmed down, "Betty made a contract with someone, and has been guarding the forbidden library for four hundred years, so it is impossible for her to go with you, just Then you can go back."
"Four hundred years, that's really a long time." Naturally, Shen He couldn't leave easily, but walked to Beatrice on his own, "No matter how you say it, there must be a time limit, because the time limit is permanent. It is impossible for anyone to be willing to endure this endless imprisonment-this is a pain worse than death."
Just think about the imprisonment in ordinary people's society, and you will understand.
After all, the meaning of life lies in experience.
Being permanently confined to one place and never being able to leave is really unbearable, because such a hopeless life is pure punishment.
"The contract... Of course it can be ended." Beatrice couldn't help but tightly grasped the books on her lap, "Betty is waiting for someone."
"Oh?" Shen He raised his eyebrows, "So you can be sure that I'm not that person?"
If so, everything seems to make sense.
Why would Beatrice avoid him.
And why is it such a deliberately bad attitude.
"."
This time, however, Beatrice seemed to have fallen into a long silence.
Even Shen He could see the stiffness from her cheeks.
He couldn't help but look at Parker.
Parker obviously received Shen He's help-seeking eyes, and then rubbed his face against Beatrice's palm, and said, "If you have any reason, just say it directly. As an older brother, I actually think Shen He is super suitable."
"Does even my brother think so?"
After sighing, Beatrice's stiff cheeks suddenly relaxed, as if she had taken off her long-time mask, and even showed a steady smile and a look of relief.
I don't know why, seeing that look in his eyes, Shen He felt bad at first.
"Actually, although there is no reason to think that you are the one Betty is waiting for, but—" Beatrice suddenly paused at the crucial point, then narrowed her eyes mischievously, "You are 'that person' It's quite possible."
".What, what?"
It took Shen He a long time before he came back to his senses.
Is he the one Beatrice is waiting for?
No, only this is impossible, because he does not belong to this world. No matter what rules, fate, or evolution this world has, it is impossible to guess his arrival.
What's more, no matter how you look at it, Beatrice and the others should also be Natsuki Subaru who has a deep connection with the witch and this world.
"Wait, Betty, my brother is a bit confused." Parker couldn't help interjecting, "Since Shen He is likely to be the one you're waiting for, shouldn't you happily accept it? After all, the long The contract is finally coming to an end."
Parker didn't know much about Beatrice.
But one thing it is clear.
That's why Beatrice can hardly bear this kind of loneliness, and that's why Beatrice treats him as her brother so close.
——As a great elf, it also has a long lifespan.
"Happy, maybe you really should be happy." Beatrice held Parker in one hand, but picked up the book on her lap with the other hand and put it on her chest.
Only now did Shen He really notice the book.
The cover is deep black, without any words on it, the most important thing is, Shen He sensed a faint fluctuation from this book.
"What is this book?" Shen He couldn't help asking.
"Huh? Did you notice it?" Beatrice held up the book and shook it for a while, "This is a super powerful book. It can record the future of the holder, and guide the holder to a better future through words. In the past, Betty has always acted according to the content recorded in this book."
"." Shen He frowned tightly.
He was stung by the smile on Beatrice's face now.
Be guided by a book to a brighter future?
Although Joan of Arc said that she was guided by God, she chose the path herself, while Beatrice not only left the future, but even the path to this book to decide, she just believed in "more Beautiful" is just three words.
If it was really better, then she would not have spent these four hundred years here alone.
"So, does this book tell you how to choose now?" Shen He suppressed the emotion of wanting to question, and asked calmly.
He knows that the persistence of hundreds of years is not so easy to give up.
It doesn't make much sense to talk to Beatrice about the so-called fate now.
".It should be necessary."
The smile on Beatrice's face gradually faded away, and her big watery eyes were filled with obvious frustration and panic.
Then his fingers trembled slightly as he touched the book, desperately opening it as if he was about to face a trial.
Eyes scan the pages for redemption.
etc--
Shen He's eyes became sharper, because he caught a glimpse of the contents of the book from Beatrice's movements of turning the pages.
No, nothing, just blank.
You can only see it if you hold it, or is there no content at all?
"Betty, there's nothing in this book." Parker couldn't help asking.
"—"
Beatrice didn't answer, but she was visibly flustered when she turned the pages of the book.
Shen He already understood.
He reached out and snatched the book straight out of Beatrice's grasp.
"No matter how hard you look for it, there will be nothing in this book."
"."
Beatrice hugged her knees, Parker hugged tightly in her arms, and curled up on the small bench.
It is obvious that he is rejecting other people's gestures out of fear.
But Shen He has enough patience.
He simply sat down on the floor in front of Beatrice, his eyes were just parallel to Beatrice, and he just looked straight into her eyes, clearly showing his determination.
Get the answer anyway today.
"—It's been decades." Beatrice finally looked away, buried her head on Parker's soft body, and began to explain intermittently, "That book no longer shows Betty's future. The past four years In the past hundred years, many people have come to this library, and many people wanted to take Betty away, but Betty followed the content in the book and refused, because they were not the 'that person' Betty was waiting for."
decades.
Shen He recalled what happened in this world decades ago, and it seemed that nothing was related to Beatrice.
It can't be said that it was Subaru Natsuki's birth.
Still, Beatrice's story continues.
"After finding out that there was no content on the pages of the book, Betty was really anxious for a long time and then suddenly realized that there is only one possibility that the book of wisdom does not reveal the future of the holder."
"Hey! Wait, Betty." Parker suddenly realized something.
"It's okay, brother." But Beatrice shook her head, and even gave Parker a shallow smile, "Even if the end of this long wait is death, it doesn't matter, as long as it can end the contract, end this forever Endless waiting, Betty, Betty will be happy to accept."
"." Parker was silent for a long time, then sighed.
Beatrice unfolded her curled body, carefully placed Parker on the bench, and then stood in front of Shen He.
"—There are many people who came here, but for hundreds of years, you are the strongest." Beatrice has completely lost her previous self-confidence and arrogance, and instead pleaded, "Therefore , it doesn’t matter whether you are the ‘that person’ Betty is waiting for, because if it were you, you would be able to easily do it and take Betty’s life.”
Having said this, Shen He already understood.
Why was Beatrice avoiding him in the first place.
The long loneliness made Beatrice unbearable, and the book of wisdom that suddenly became blank drove Beatrice's thoughts to an extreme.
The book recording the future is blank, which means she has no future.
The "that person" who was waiting in the end might not take her away, but bring her to death.
"call--"
Shen He let out a long breath, narrowed his eyes, and flipped through the blank book in his hand.
"Perhaps, Betty, you made a mistake."
"What?"
Beatrice asked subconsciously.
She was really ready to die. It could even be said that she was extremely eager to end this endless wait.
"Although I don't understand the principle of this book, based on my experience, functions like fate and prophecy all have the limitations of the world." Shen He closed the book abruptly, "The content became blank , does not necessarily mean death, it may also mean leaving this world and causing fate to be unobservable, so let me introduce myself again, I am a pan-dimensional traveler from another world, Shen He."
