"But..." She looked up blankly, her eyes reflecting Lynn's relaxed expression, and said:
"There's a lot..."
Lynn's expression froze in place.
But almost instantly, Lynn regained his relaxed expression, then swiftly wiped it for her with lightning speed, patted her head, and said:
"Didn't I already tell you? This is a very normal thing, and this ti it was because Alice accidentally touched it, so don't take it to heart, okay? Alice just did what I was originally planning to do!"
Lynn felt like he was on the verge of cracking.
Alice looked at her hand with a confused expression and said:
"Re... really?"
Lynn explained, sweating profusely: "Of course it's true! So Alice, don't have any psychological hang-ups about it. Actually, that's not sothing terribly important either; it's actually a cursed object I'm suppressing. It's just that because my ntal energy consumption was huge, it gave it a chance to break through the seal, and Alice just helped suppress it again, that's all."
Alice asked confusedly: "Cursed object?"
Lynn adjusted his monocle and explained: "Ye... yes, it's a kind of cursed object that needs to release malice regularly..."
"You know, when a cup of water is full, it overflows, right?"
Alice nodded blankly.
Lynn raised a finger, closed his eyes, and said: "It's the sa principle. And Alice just accidentally touched that chanism earlier, and coincidentally helped Brother Lynn pour out so of the water from the full cup!"
"You could say Alice actually helped a great deal!"
He felt an urge to die on the spot.
Alice listened to Lynn's explanation with a confused expression and said: "Is... is that so?"
Lynn smiled, placing his big hand on her head, and said: "Of course. So Alice, don't think you did sothing wrong. And if you didn't do anything wrong, why would I bla you? I like you too much to do that~"
[Ding! Alice's Affinity towards you 10]
[Ding! Alice's Trust towards you 10]
[Ding! Alice's Affection towards you 15]
Accompanied by the system prompts ringing in his ears, Alice finally obediently nodded her head up and down vigorously, then closed her eyes, her expression becoming exceptionally at ease.
Yes.
How could he not like Alice?
Because Alice also genuinely likes her brother, likes him very, very much.
Maintaining the stiff smile on his face, Lynn patted her back, feeling restless.
"Alright, alright."
He gently picked up Alice, placed her petite body by the bedside, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Alice, smiling:
"Alice needs to be obedient, be good. First, wipe your face clean. I need to go out for a bit. Be good and wait for here. I'll co back to accompany you in ten minutes, okay?"
Alice nodded obediently, just like a well-behaved doll.
Because as long as it's sothing Lynn says, Alice will listen.
"Then see you in a bit, rest for now. Your brother is going out now."
Lynn (￣▽￣)／ patted her little head, then, under Alice's affectionate gaze, turned his wheelchair and headed towards the door at a normal speed.
Clang—
The door closed.
The room was now left with only Alice inside.
Her big eyes were still fixed on the direction of the door, clutching the handkerchief Lynn had left for her. Only after a long while did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze.
Then she used the handkerchief to wipe her face.
Actually, she didn't need to go through this trouble. Because she was an Evil Spirit, if she wanted to, she could clean her cheeks with just a thought.
But because it was her brother's instruction, Alice would do exactly as her brother said.
She paused for a mont, then subconsciously glanced at the handkerchief, her gaze still revealing so confusion.
"A cursed object?"
She pondered.
And if it really was a cursed object, if her brother couldn't suppress it anymore, Alice would definitely help her brother suppress it.
She clenched her small hand tightly.
Definitely.
