Quick Wear: Driving Gods in a Dark Fairy Tale

Bai Jun moved the fingers that were tied behind his back, causing the silver chains to rustle, and a playful smile suddenly broke out on his face.

"What if the answer is wrong?"

"...Ah." The girl sighed briefly and regretfully, "Since there are rewards for correct answers, there will of course be punishments for incorrect answers."

"If you answer incorrectly..."

The girl paused for a few seconds deliberately, her smile bright and charming, and undisguised pure malice uttered from her scarlet lips, "Then stay here forever and stay with me."

"After all, we are the same kind, aren't we, Mr. F.E.T."

Bai Jun calmly retorted: "No."

"You and I will never be the same, and neither will you and Iroh."

"Her Royal Highness does not like dirt and filth, nor does she covet money and wealth, nor does she like beautiful and luxurious dresses."

"What she wanted has never changed from the beginning to the end."

The girl's smile deepened, "Oh? What is that?"

"It's... freedom."

As the words fell, there were crisp crackling sounds one after another, which seemed to be the sound of breaking bones.

"Wow--"

Under the silver chain that was swaying in all directions in the cage, the long-haired young man suddenly threw off the silver chain and pulled his hands out from behind. From the girl's perspective, it was clear that his two outermost fingers were unnaturally raised, and there were large areas of scratches and abrasions on the backs of his two exposed hands, with most of the skin peeling off, looking bloody and horrible.

As he pulled his hand away, the flying blood splashed onto the face of the girl outside the cage and dripped along her cheek.

The girl didn't even blink, she slowly raised her hand and clapped it, praising it unabashedly, "Excellent."

"As expected of Mr. Fate, you set an example by your own actions. You would break your fingers in pursuit of freedom."

Bai Jun calmly replaced the four fingers that had been broken. "Okay. Then may I ask, did I answer correctly?"

"Although I hate to admit it, you do know Aurora very well, so... you are right."

The girl shrugged, a little disappointed.

She raised her hand to wipe the blood that the white fungus had splashed onto her face, and then she clapped her hands lightly. The strange and disgusting prison completely disappeared from her sight.

"You just said that you and I are not of the same kind."

The girl walked in front of Bai Jun, looking down at his hands that were still dripping with blood. Her expression became inexplicably gentle, and her tone was gentle, "But your actions and certain things in you that are incompatible with other people don't seem to indicate that."

"Any individual with emotions will not be without desires."

"This destined them to always be entangled and intertwined because of various things, and to have a certain resonance because of emotions and desires, prompting them to find similarities and become each other's kind."

The girl stared into Bai Jun's eyes, as if she was looking through his eyes into his heart hidden beneath his skin.

"But Mr. Fate, do you have such things as desires and emotions?"

"Rose once told me the answer, and I am convinced that you are completely different from them. But you and I are similar, and this is definitely closer than anyone you have ever known."

"If, as you say, we are not of the same kind, then what are you of the same kind as?"

As the girl spoke one sentence after another, Bai Jun's face became paler and paler.

He turned his head slightly to avoid the girl's gaze.

"Mr. Fate, who can control his desires at will, why don't you tell me how you manage to eliminate your desires at any time?"

The girl's azure eyes gradually turned into a turbid blood red, and her voice became softer and softer, so soft that it seemed to fall into the wind. "Is it because your control is too strong that you suppressed your desire? Or is it because you have no desire at all, and you have been carefully disguising something, afraid of being exposed, so you lied."

"I'm really curious."
