But this time Bayeta was no longer as quiet as before. She came to Alex and knocked hard on his desk.
The loud "bang bang bang" noise and the subsequent vibration made Alex unable to concentrate at all.
"What do you want to do!" Alex stood up and glared at Bayeta. This was the first time he was angry in a while.
"What do I want to do?" Bayeta stopped her rude actions, stared into Alex's eyes and said, "Don't lie to yourself, Alex, all this is fake, you know it better than me!"
Alex's momentum weakened instantly when he heard Bayeta's words. His eyes were erratic and he said vaguely:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. This is fake. If you keep talking nonsense, I will have my assistants escort you out."
Alex turned his head and waved at Bayeta, as if he didn't want to talk to her too much.
Bayeta saw Alex's performance and immediately became more certain of her own thoughts. Since she discovered the anomaly of this world, she tried to hint her conjecture to others.
But this was mostly useless. Even if she pointed it out directly, everyone would regard her guess as her having nothing to do and thinking too much.
The feeling that she was the only one who was different in the world was too painful. Sometimes she wondered if she was really overthinking.
However, the memories in her mind constantly reminded her that this world was fake. With this thought in mind, Bayeta began to observe the world again. The more carefully she looked, the more unreasonable things she found in this world.
Either her memory was false, or the world was false. These two horrifying options kept lingering in Bayeta's mind, urging her to choose one, leaving her with no peace.
Until she discovered Alex, an even more unusual guy.
And today she came here just to confirm her own thoughts. If it was just her own imagination, then it would be fine, but if Alex also had doubts, then there would be a big problem in this world.
Thinking of this, Bayeta stepped forward and grabbed Alex's sleeve. She said excitedly: "Alex, this world is fake. You know this, right? Look at you, you are running away!"
"Let go!" Alex broke free of Bayeta's bare hand. He pointed at Bayeta and said, "You think too much. You should take a good rest. When you calm down, come and talk to me."
As he spoke, Alex waved his hand, and the two robots behind him came up, ready to forcibly "send" Bayeta out.
"The brightness of the light of human support will not be so gentle. It should be as dazzling as the sun and impossible to look directly at."
When Bayeta saw the robot coming, she did not resist. She just calmly told them about the abnormalities she had discovered.
She believed that solid evidence would be more convincing to Alex, a scholar, than simple violence.
"Kanreya rabbits don't hop around like the ones on the ground, and they don't have white. Although I admit that these two things make Kanreya rabbits cute."
"And..." Bayeta paused and continued:
"Taboos from outside the world will not be so easily drawn in, nor will they be so easily bound!"
This time, Alex finally stopped.

Alex paused, turned around with a complicated expression, looked at Bayeta, who looked a little crazy, and said:
"Why do you have to worry so much? Isn't it good like this? You are also a scholar, you should have things you want to explore."
Alex took a deep breath and said with a smile: "You know what? My biggest wish is to have a machinery factory like this."
"A mechanical factory that belongs to me alone, where no one can disturb me and I can use my skills to my heart's content!"
At this point, Alex clenched his fist and said with emotion:
"I am very humble, so humble that I even have low self-esteem. I am also very introverted, so introverted that I don't even have many friends."
"But I have great confidence in mechanics! I can tell you that in my eyes, all the mechanics in the kingdom are trash!"
"But my modesty made others think I was incompetent, and my introversion kept me from getting a high position. So I could only quietly be a researcher and live my life like this."
Alex thought of his past experiences, shook his head and continued, "I am a person who is content with the status quo. As a researcher, I just do what a researcher does. As for talent, I just pretend it doesn't exist."
"But now that this talent has room to flourish, and the current situation is so good, why should we break it?"
Alex was puzzled. In a sense, he was also a very scary person. He was content with the status quo, no matter whether it was good or painful, real or illusory.
Valetta listened to Alex's words. She walked around the stationary robot and walked to Alex again.
She tied up her hair that had just been scattered due to excitement and said silently:
"You have your ideas, and I have mine. You said that every scholar has his or her own pursuits. Yes, I do too!"
Bayetta took out a piece of dark mud-like substance and put it in the palm of her hand. Looking at the flowing mud, fascination showed on her face involuntarily, "Look! What a stable power of the abyss, what a peaceful forbidden knowledge!"
But soon, a look of struggle appeared on Bayeta's face. She squeezed the abyss block in her hand and threw it away.
"But I know that the true power of the abyss cannot be stable enough to be touched by hand."
"I have great talent, but in front of the abyss, this little talent is completely useless. But even so, I still want to explore."
"I'm not afraid of anything. Taboos, pollution, the abyss, even if I turn into an inhuman monster, I can accept it!"
"But the only thing I can't accept is that the power of the abyss can become so stable! If I were a taboo from outside the world, not a stable sheep like the elemental force!"
Bayeta had been holding back these thoughts for a long time. In this fake world, she had no one to talk to.
Now that she saw Alex as an exception, she unknowingly revealed everything that was in her mind.
Bayeta stroked her chest. The words just now made her vent out all the pressure she had been under recently. Now she actually felt particularly comfortable in her heart.
She looked at Alex who remained silent, took a few deep breaths, and then bowed to him.
"Phew! Sorry, Alex, I was too excited just now. Since you think this world is good, I won't disturb you anymore. Let's say goodbye here."
Alex nodded upon hearing this. As he said, he liked this kind of world very much. Even though he suspected that this world was fake, it did not hinder his life.
True or false, there is no difference in his eyes.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Just as Bayeta was about to leave, a burst of crisp applause suddenly rang out between the two silent people.
Then Embers appeared between Alex and Bayeta.
He had been spying since Bayeta entered the machine shop, and he also wanted to know why Bayeta could find out that this world was fake.
However, when he heard the "abnormalities" mentioned by Bayeta, he realized that those so-called "abnormalities" were caused by his laziness.
Because Yu Jin felt that it was too troublesome to create a world for each person, he threw all those who had similar understandings of the world together.
But I didn't expect to meet Bayeta, a guy who would fight to the end. He always noticed details that ordinary people couldn't notice. I was really careless.
Why is Kanreya's artificial sun so gentle? That's because Yu Jin knows that in the hearts of Kanreya people, the artificial sun is so dazzling and not as gentle as the real sun.
Why are the rabbits here the same as those on the ground? That's because the Kanreya people are eager for everything on the earth, and they hope that the underground can be the same as under the sky.
However, most of the creatures created in the Alchemy Academy cannot meet this requirement. They either have the same appearance but different habits, or different appearances but the same habits.
All this seemed to tell the Kanriya people that the underground and the sky were different after all.
As for the abyssal power in this world, it is the dead skin that Ember pulled off Yousui's body.Just pretending to be the abyss of Teyvat.
For a dangerous thing like Youshen, Yujin must use some means to deal with it, otherwise the souls of this world will probably turn into nourishment for Youshen.
"That's a very bold statement." Yu Jin nodded in appreciation at Bayeta. To be so determined to explore taboos, he must be a madman.
Why is there such a high proportion of crazy people in Kanreya? Could it be that this country is actually a mental hospital in Teyvat?
"Yu Jin? Why are you here? Is there any new situation with Catherine?" Alex and Yu Jin had met many times and were not surprised by his arrival.
He had long guessed about the identity of the Embers, but after being sure that the Embers would not affect his current life, Alex no longer cared about where the Embers came from.
Yu Jin nodded and shook his head, and said casually: "Catherine is very happy every day, what could happen to her? I have a new task to do for you today!"
As he spoke, Yu Jin pulled out a pure white baby dragon in the blink of an eye.
Then Alex and Bayeta opened their eyes wide, because they saw that Dulin's figure was illusory - which meant that Dulin was now a soul!
There were cases where souls remained in the world, but all of them happened in places with disturbed ley lines. Alex and Bayeta had never seen a soul that could directly appear in the real world.
If Ember knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that they were overthinking it. Because if you really want to argue, Alex and Bayeta don't have bodies.
However, it is true that Durin's will is extremely strong, although his mind is similar to that of a child.
“Mom… I shouldn’t have been here; I shouldn’t have been here…” The tiny whispers were still coming out of Du Lin’s mouth, making Yu Jin feel a little numb.
It said it was Dulin, but it wasn't Dulin. It was more like a lingering thought of Dulin before his death, a lingering thought of guilt and innocence.
But it doesn't matter to Embers. He is most familiar with souls and the like. There is no difference between regret and consciousness to him.
But after Durin was separated from Tevarin's subconscious, he looked half dead, which made Yu Jin feel particularly difficult to deal with.
He really doesn't know how to cure depression. After all, you can't cure all mental illnesses with a personality modification stick, right?
"Stop crying! Can crying bring everything back? You should become stronger, stronger than anyone else!"
"Powerful enough to protect everything, powerful enough to reverse tragedy, powerful enough to make up for your mistakes!" Yu Jin said as he gestured with his muscles.
However, due to the obstruction of the arm armor, it looked like he was using some unknown sign language.
"Become stronger..." Du Lin raised his head, looked at the embers in front of him and said, "How can I become stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin chuckled and said to Alex and Bayeta: "See, I told you guys to come alive!"
Chapter 166 Divine Body

"They can make you stronger." Yu Jin pointed at Bayeta and Alex not far away and said to Du Lin.
Alex leaned over and looked at Du Lin carefully after hearing this.
"Dragon?" Alex looked at the clearly layered white scales on Dulin's body, then at the pair of wings curled up behind it, and said with some doubt.
In his impression, there seemed to be no creature like Durin in Teyvat. Although there were dragon lizards on the ground, they were very different from real dragons.
"Hmm..." Alex pondered for a moment, then asked Yu Jin: "Where did you get all these strange creatures? Why don't I see any of them?"
"Can I be the same as you?" Yu Jin pointed at himself and then at Alex, indicating that people are different.
"How...how to become stronger." Du Lin heard the conversation between Yu Jin and Alex, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"How can I become stronger?" Alex heard Du Lin's question but did not rush to answer it.
He took out some instruments from not far away and began to measure around Dulin.
"The mental strength is so high?!" Bayeta also came to Alex's side. She looked at the data on the instrument and couldn't help but exclaimed.
