Chapter 63: The perfect spy
A childhood friend named Lillith, a flamboyant girl named Esther, and lastly the obsessed girl that might be a potential stalker Airis. if only my life was that of a romcom I would've been happy, sadly my life ceases to amaze me, with all of this development that I've made of my efforts. a brown-haired girl that has eyes and the most calming scent, if I added the fact that she's clingy and her age is 27 which was a surprise for me considering that she looked like a high school girl
"Morris, can I ask you something?" Esther was a little weirded out by the turn of events after they didn't see each other for a couple of hours
"Sure ask away," Morris flipped over a page of a book he acquired from Lillith
"Umm who is she?" Esther redirected her gaze at a new individual in their dining room that had a flowery fragrance and the personality of an angel
"Christ open up say ah," Lillith was feeding him in front of his team without a single care of her surrounding
[What kind of a lazy player did I contract myself with your using the fact that you've brainwashed her to eat without even using your hands]
'I never asked for this kind of situation either, I'm merely using the situation to my advantage, plus isn't this your idea in the first place?'
[Grrh, don't pin all of this on me, we're in this together I might be the one that suggested Brainwashing. but the fact that you are the one that could choose your path, yet you didn't even take a second once you've heard of a better solution]
'Morality can't feed a person, you already knew that plus kindness? Do you think that's a personal trait that will make a person last in this world? all of those people might as well have perished or met with their most trusted allies but it's mostly the latter,'
[Well, I for one think that you might have tried to save her if I'm not mistaken even if you say that you wanted to make her your pawn. We can't forget that you created fake memories that revolve around the two of you. I can't ignore the fact that you even kept the memories of her abusive parents for her to rely on your fake self]
'You're delusional, I'm not getting soft because I saw her horrible past, even though I felt a little sympathetic. but it's mostly the fact that will be using her to do a lot of things for us and I can't ask her to do that if I'm not that important in her life, so I imagined what if the request was from her lover. will she decline? Or would she agree, either way, it always leads to her being used in the end,'
Morris recognized his personality that he never knew existed within his body, a pursuit to constantly be in control of his situation. a personality that never revealed itself before because he wasn't able to unearth this until he was able to grow and became stronger than his previous self. yet he doesn't see this personality of his as a result of his book rather it was the result of his selfish desire to survive
Being in control of his situation made him feel special yet it drives him to a path that would lead to his destruction or his adaptability in this world, which was fairly obvious that he became a ruthless predator that will either use his power or trickery to lead his prey to their demise. seeing this development for himself he's a little curious as to why Jin never stopped him from walking this path that he had chosen he must've experienced the same fate as he did that drove him to kill a person with a gaze that resembles Morris
"Lillith is my childhood friend, I thought I wouldn't see her again, but fate sure did grant me a favor. she was one of the captives that were inside the Underground workshop that I happened to stumble upon,"
"Doesn't anyone get a weird feeling that she's not suitable for surviving this world," Yoona's incredibly accurate hunch made the two of them very silent once they heard her reply
[Do you think she'll find out?] freēwēbnovel.com
'There's no way in hell that she would notice our doings, I made it clear that she's somewhat important to our mission,'
"Relax Yoona, the boss always says that you shouldn't judge anyone by their personality,"
"I know that but look, isn't she a little bit weird? Come on Jin back me up over here,"
"Your exaggerating things, I don't want to act like a prick but you're not giving me any choice, I remembered the time when you guys were underestimating me. I'm not saying that it implies our current situation, but the World of trials is a vast world filled with all kinds of people heck you might even meet someone who casually talks about a murder on a daily basis," Jin brought her suspicion down after a few words that seem to make everyone else see her differently making her stop before anything occur
"If you guys are a little bit uncertain of her identity then I was trying to hide it from you but she's a member of our enemy I know that it looks a little weird that we're eating our breakfast with an enemy. she just got dragged into this she never wanted to hurt anyone, she was manipulated into believing that what they were trying to accomplish was right, she was just a victim," Morris patted Lillith's which made her blush while he reassures the others of her position
"So she's a spy is that what you're trying to tell us?" Esther didn't waste her time and replied after his explanation. she was the only one out of the rest that didn't grab her weapon after she heard her identity
"I wouldn't have wanted to go back there if I wanted to, but they've already stepped out of the border which made their way to becoming a bunch of lunatics running a mock. if they remain to live their lives then I might have just been an accomplice, that turned over a new leaf. even if you see me as a criminal or a monster that once toyed with a humans life then I'm sorry, I wasn't in my best condition, but I want to help by any means necessary," Her words down to her tone were sincere and apologetic, she delivered her identity to the others perfectly to the point that they've felt guilty of what they were trying to commit, she even made Kyo comfort her that also was a victim because of his search for power
'What a wonderful sight to behold, I executed their encounter perfectly, I guess my way of introducing a character is a little dramatic but it worked. things that you gain from writing, I waited for the right time and place after that I laid back and watch how Lillith's socialization gave her the upper hand making her won their hearts with her tragic tale, I never thought she would have changed according to what I predicted. her personality and her previous one are opposites, which goes to show that a person's behavior differs from what they experience in life, her original memory was that of a gloomy girl born into a family that always abuses her on a daily basis, she didn't have a friend nor did she had a lover. her classmates ignored her and the teachers scolded her for slowly understanding the lectures, a life of a miserable girl that clings to a better tomorrow. she only had one thing that helped her it was my book, the very book that she wishes to be born in,'
"A flower that's born from a severe and atrocious place, a white angel will cure you of your imperfections and bring you to the light," Jin whispered to himself while he looks at Morris with a smile before he sets his gaze on the solution he made with his own two hands
