Chapter 28 You just want to do it, don't you!
Every mental patient is highly likely to have a natural mental protective barrier against the outside world.
In other words, if you talk directly to Ivina, then it's very likely that the person talking to Rhodes isn't Ivina, but a fake protective personality.
That's why Rhodes wanted to use a mental link, because only in this way could he have a real conversation with her.
At that moment, Rhodes cleaved the longsword in her hand with one hand and successfully took advantage of her mental weakness to forcibly connect with her mind.
Ignore the enemy's strongest will and attack her weakness in the simplest way possible—
However, the moment the connection was established, Rhode was attacked by the backlash.
At this moment, countless mental signals flashed wildly through his brain, like the low murmur of an ancient god. Crazy and chaotic things exploded and filled his mind in an instant!
I wish I could die.
If only I could avoid hurting others.
If only someone could come...
If he could come, I could survive...
I hate him... but I can't let him die...
No, I have to kill him...
The words rolled on and on at breakneck speed, so fast that Rhode couldn't even make out what they were before they disappeared.
But every single word he uttered was related to death.
Rod's movements stiffened slightly, and his face went blank.
He knew this guy was mentally ill, but he never expected him to be as terrifying as a ghost.
Forget about dying, let's save him first...!
He gritted his teeth and still forced his mental signal to Ivina—
In the midst of this mental storm, conveying a normal message is no less difficult than standing firm in a tempest.
At least, Rhodes felt as if his mind had been shattered, and he could hardly utter a sound.
Boom boom boom!!!
Countless storms battered Rhodes's clear consciousness, attempting to blast him out of this mental connection.
Fortunately, the 10% mental resistance provided by [Soul Enhancement LV.1] played a very good role at this moment.
Even though the throbbing pain in his brain was excruciating, he still managed to send out that mental signal despite the tearing agony—
【Miss Ivina, please calm down.】
This sentence is like a tiny speck of dust sinking into the ocean.
Even though it's insignificant...
At this moment, a chaotic and disordered soul receives only the one orderly message.
The surging, abyssal ocean, at the moment this grain of sand fell, was like a person hanging on the edge of a cliff being pulled back by a rope—
and……
This was the voice she had longed for for who knows how long, but never dared to pursue.
【Dream】
Rhodes's words shattered her dream in an instant, causing her to open those alluring red eyes deep within her soul—
In an instant, Ivina's soul coalesced and returned to normal, and her body was no longer stiff.
It was at this moment that she forcibly severed Rhodes's consciousness connection;
"hiss……"
Rhodes, whose connection was abruptly severed, felt a sharp pain and stumbled back two steps, nearly falling to the ground.
Suddenly, a soft, boneless little hand gently grabbed Rod's palm, helping him maintain his balance.
Yes.
When Rhodes looked over, he saw Ivina stretching out her frail arm and tightly gripping his hand, preventing him from falling to the ground.
At this moment, the two were only fifty centimeters apart.
Ivina took his arm...?
Rhodes was slightly taken aback.
But before he could react, Ivina acted first.
Her crimson eyes and face quickly showed disgust, and she shook her hand away with a look of disgust and disdain.
Furthermore, after she pulled it back, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and frantically wiped the hand that had just been holding Rod's.
"Disgusting! I warned you not to come near me! You can't blame me for getting attacked just now; you asked for it!"
Ivina quickly took two steps back and snorted coldly.
She didn't say sorry, but Rod didn't care that she didn't apologize.
Because he was a little confused about what was going on...
Rhodes remained silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Miss Ivina."
"Useless, I knew it. You're just a piece of trash. You can't even stand up straight. Get out of here." Ivina blinked her crimson eyes, snorted again, and crossed her arms.
"?" Rhodes was speechless, a strange anger rising in his heart.
Who attacked me and made me lose my balance?
But although he was a little angry, he was still more concerned about one issue—
As a soul god, Rhode could naturally see that the so-called [Ivina] had truly replaced the body's consciousness and become an active soul.
In other words, how did this guy's mental state suddenly recover?
His skills don't actually heal other people's souls; they only facilitate soul communication.
That's strange. It seems like he can do things that are difficult for others all of a sudden...?
certainly--
Whether it was Felicity, Lilith, or even the maid Daphne watching from a distance, they were all stunned.
Their first shock was that Rhode could withstand Ivina's incredibly powerful attack; their second shock was that Rhode could actually make Ivina kneel on the ground.
Of course... Felicity and Daphne were also shocked by something else—he, so fresh and beautiful, stood beside Ivina and was talking to her?
That's absolutely impossible!
That's impossible!
Daphne nearly dropped the tea set in fright, because she knew exactly what kind of person her mistress was.
Anyone who wants to get close to her must be personally escorted by the Duke in order to barely adapt within three months.
Moreover, this adaptation only means being able to appear in front of her and prevent her from becoming irritable.
She doesn't let anyone touch her at all, and she would never take the initiative to hold someone's hand!
Daphne felt a strong stimulus in her brain, and in that instant, she lowered her eyes—
"We need to get started quickly..."
After saying that, she turned and ran towards the Duchess's room, disappearing from everyone's sight;
At that moment, both girls ran up to Rhodes' side.
Felicity immediately reached out and touched Rod's face anxiously. "Rod, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"No, no, wait... stop touching me, and where are you touching?!"
Rod slapped Felicity's groping hand away in an instant, then delivered a vicious chop to Felicity's head.
"Ah...! Luo..." Felicity looked aggrieved, pursing her lips as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"...It's no use even if you try to be cute."
"No..." Felicity puffed out her cheeks and lowered her head.
"Tsk..." Ivina felt uncomfortable watching this scene.
Are these two trying to show off their love in front of a mentally ill person? They're practically asking for trouble...
And most importantly, there was someone she didn't know there—the girl with blue hair.
When she realized there was a stranger there, her mental state deteriorated again, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.
The long-lost clarity of her mind made her eager to get it sorted out; she didn't want her hard-won recovery to be ruined by a stranger.
She turned around and walked into the house without looking back, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened;
But at that moment, Rod called out to her again:
"Miss Ivina, wait a moment."
A flash of rage crossed Ivina's eyes as she glared at Rhodes. "What?"
Rhodes's expression was sincere:
"I just wanted to get to know you."
"My name is Rod Chivenlance. I will be staying at the Duke's residence for the next period of time, so I came to let you know."
"Huh?! You live here?" Ivina's pretty face showed disbelief. She staggered back two steps, biting her lip and glaring fiercely at Rhodes. "You just want to get close to me and then sleep with me, right?!"
"What else could someone who's willing to come and chat with me, this damn troublesome person, have besides wanting to mess with me?"
Disgusting, perverted, damn lolicon, get out!!!
Rhodes, or rather everyone else, was stunned—
"?"
"?"
"?"
Is this something a sickly little girl should say?
