Chapter 132·130 · "Meeting Tomorrow"

"Jasmine" violently swung the dragon-headed cane in her hand again, and Su Mingan felt an invisible pressure enveloped from the top of her head.

There was a tingling pain in his heart, as if countless needles had been pricked.But the pain suddenly disappeared in the next moment.

He heard a prompt from the system:
[(Hidden·Rose Hat) The skill effect is triggered. 】

[Due to instant death resistance, the enemy's instant death skills are automatically invalidated. 】

"Why, why is it ineffective?" "Jasmine" looked at him blankly, the crutch in her hand was glowing golden red, as if the attack had already been launched, but it had no effect.

Su Mingan understood that his equipment was able to resist the instant death of the curse effect, which caused him to die and become the puppet of "Jasmine" but did not come true.

The ending changed.

What he's in now...maybe a whole new process.

"Jasmine" looked at him gloomyly, and after a while, she suddenly said: "You are a good townsman, I am willing to forgive you for running away. As long as you are willing to become my believer, I can let you go You inherited your father's business and took control of Terry..."

"—Forgive me for refusing." Su Mingan interrupted her.

Jasmine should not have died, it was this so-called "god" who occupied her body - he still had a chance.

"Jasmine" looked at him with squinted eyes, the danger was not aroused.

Su Mingan looked at her: "You let the townspeople kill each other - you let innocent girls die in pain - your asylum looks like a joke to me! You claim to be a god, but what you do is what a demon does , the whole town has been bewitched by you, they live like lunatics, yet you are still complacent..."

His words were not finished.

"Jasmine" stepped forward suddenly, her palms turned into claws, and the fine fluff on her body grew wildly, and she rushed towards him like a wolf!
The fiery red wedding dress fluttered like a bird's feather, and the girl's eyes were like ghostly lights.

"——Is this what you Triri call a god?"

Su Mingan looked at the ferocious werewolf in front of him and laughed softly.

Facing the "Jasmine" who was rushing towards him, he was not afraid at all, as long as it wasn't for the unreasonable skill of controlling his body, he would have a chance to fight back.

He stared at the direction Jasmine rushed towards, and the spatial vibration was ready to send out at any time.

Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound.

"Crack!"

It was the sound of glass bottles shattering to the ground.

"Jasmine"'s expression changed, her expression was extremely painful, and she quickly covered her chest.

A bottle dangling with green liquid was thrown from the window and hit her right in the face.The green liquid flowed down her body, making a melting sound like "sizzling".

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

There was the sound of glass bottles colliding outside the door.

Su Mingan turned his head sideways and saw a woman covered in a cloak, with a silver dagger pinned to her waist, and a bottle of reagent with red liquid in her hand.Slightly dry blond hair leaked from the opening, the color approaching the fading sunlight.

She approached slowly, still covered with wind and snow.

"Jasmine" was trembling all over, she seemed to be very afraid of this potion.

"boom--!"

【HP-1250! (Weakness suppressed! Broken move!)]

Su Mingan immediately sent out a spatial vibration.

The body of "Jasmine" trembled violently in the violent space tremor, and she passed out.

And the moment she passed out, the fluff and sharp claws on her body also retracted instantly.

Su Mingan retracted the space vibration, stepped forward, and supported the unconscious girl, preventing her from knocking her head on the coffin.

He leaned her against the coffin and brushed away the broken hair in front of her.

"...You are very considerate." The cloaked man said.

Her voice was very hoarse, different from the voice in Su Mingan's memory, as if it had gone through many years.

"No, I just want to check if she's faking it." Su Mingan stood up and looked at the cloaked man who suddenly appeared:

"Sarina, I think I have the right to know everything about Terry."

The woman laughed softly.

She stretched out her hand—it was a haggard hand like an old man's. After showing her face, Su Mingan saw the wrinkles carved on her face by the years, and her skin was wrinkled like paper.

The witch Sarina who was the guide had long since died. At this past time point, Su Mingan met her who was still alive.

"Bo Li, when you left Triri and threatened to change the beliefs of the people in the town, I never thought you had such courage." Selina smiled and said, "You seem to be different now that you come back." , you can personally kill the puppet-like Mitchell and the crazy townspeople, this is enough to prove that you have the qualifications to know everything."

She sighed slightly: "You are very different now—maybe you can really change Terry like this."

Su Mingan looked at her, waiting for her next words.

"I've seen it for a long time, the belief in the town has been quietly changed."

She stood up and looked at him with eyes full of wind and frost: "The townspeople will choose a young girl every year and crucify her in the coffin to obtain blessings-they call it "marrying the gods." .But I realized later that the so-called god is long gone. What replaced him is a ghost wandering in the dark night."

"The townspeople have been bewitched." Su Ming'an said, "If I'm not mistaken, the ghost you mentioned is the existence that occupied Jasmine's body just now."

"...That's right." Sarina lowered her head slightly: "That nasty ghost bewitched the townspeople and made them exile themselves."

She looked over with admiration in her eyes: "Bo Li, this time is thanks to you. If you hadn't held that ghost in time so that it didn't leave before absorbing Jasmine's soul, my potion wouldn't be able to hit this guy— — this time, it must have been hit hard."

Su Ming'an didn't speak.

He is thinking about something.

"Bo Li, maybe you haven't discovered it yet, but this ancestral hall has long been contaminated by the breath of that ghost." Sarina's breath was a little uneven: "If you stay here, even I will be polluted. You will After Jasmine's affairs are dealt with, let's seal this place as soon as possible. The ancestral hall—it's best to become a forbidden place in the future."

"How to deal with it?" Su Mingan didn't know how to deal with this girl.

Selina turned her head and looked at him.

"Jasmine has become a residence for ghosts. Ghosts cannot be killed, they can only recuperate in Jasmine's body. If you want to trap it, the only way is to trap Jasmine."

Su Mingan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He seemed to feel a trace of connection between the front and back timelines.

"Actually, Jasmine is already considered a dead person. If she is not a dead person, the ghost will not be trapped on her body and cannot continue to absorb life." Sarina said: "If you want Trilli to continue to exist, The best way is to..."

Her somewhat chapped lips were parted, and the words she spit out were weak in tone but extremely cruel in meaning.

【—Lock Jasmine. 】

[Lock her in this ancestral hall. 】

[Forever, forever, without seeing the sun and the earth, locked here—to achieve a "big situation" in which the townspeople can survive. 】

……

After Sharina left, the wind and snow gradually stopped.

"Um……"

In the ancestral hall, a girl's weak voice came from the side. Su Mingan, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head and saw Jasmine covering her head and opening her eyes.

He saw a pure blue ocean in her eyes.

"This is me..." She was a little dazed, looked at the green liquid flowing on her body, and then at Su Ming'an who was watching her, and called softly with a little timidity and a little surprise:
"God... my lord?"

"I am not your god, the god is dead." Su Mingan said.

Jasmine's body shrank slightly, she didn't understand the meaning of his words, but she knew that the man in front of her appeared in the ancestral hall on her wedding night, and he saved her.

My father said that the gods are so powerful that they can save anyone easily.

The father also said that the gods would appear in the ancestral hall on this night and take her away to live a happy life.

The existence in front of him was exactly the same as the god that his father had described.

I married a god myself.

She didn't see anyone except the person in front of her.

——Then he is the god I want to marry.

Jasmine thought so.

Su Mingan looked at this pious young girl.

He sees right through her—she's a superstitious whose beliefs are imposed by her father, Mitchell.

She doesn't know why to believe at all, and she doesn't know how to love someone.Just because her father said it, she did it, and she always believed that his words were right.

Because of her simplicity, she is so stubborn that it is shocking.

Su Mingan looked at the pure and bright eyes of the person in front of him, and remembered Selina's words before she left:
【Bo Li—you need to hold her steady. Jasmine cannot die, nor can she leave this ancestral hall. 】

[She is no longer an ordinary girl, she can live in a coffin without drinking water.But she can kill herself. 】

[Once she is dead, the ghost will look for other, still alive bodies, absorb the souls of others, restore its strength, and continue to be its god.It will decree that Trilli will be in eternal fear. 】

【Jasmine cannot die, even if she lives like a ghost, she must still live. 】

【What you have to do is to give her hope and prevent her from committing suicide. 】

[After dealing with her matter, seal off the ancestral hall and prevent anyone from entering. You need to take away the leading crutch to become the next mayor of Terry, and find our lost, real god. 】

[As a witch, I am already old, so old that my hair is gray. 】

【Even the familiar smell of the medicine is gradually fading in my perception...】

[Perhaps because of my pious belief, I will be lucky to be able to leave a spiritual body that can continue to protect Triri like other great people in Triri. 】

【I know, entrusting everything to you, a person who just returned home, is too heavy. 】

【However, I still ask you—to accept this responsibility. 】

【Master Shenming once told me that there will be twelve travelers who will change our destiny and come to save us...】

【Please, hold on until then, and then,】

【Free Trilli from the eternal curse. 】

……

Su Mingan looked at the girl.

She was looking at herself with yearning for love and reverence for the gods in her eyes.

Jasmine seemed to want to speak, her face gradually flushed with a girlish blush, her fingers were grabbing the tattered wedding dress, and the golden jewelry dazzled her eyes.

Su Mingan remembered Selina's words.

……

【Give her hope, let her live】

【—even if it’s just like a ghost, alone in the ancestral hall without seeing the light of day until it completely rots】.

……

【—I will be locked here forever and ever, alive. 】

……

This is the most important and cruelest thing he has to do.

He thought of Jasmine in the blood-red wedding dress in the coffin of the ancestral hall in the future timeline.

——In the future, she can never leave the ancestral hall.He just told a few stories, and she was overjoyed like the most innocent child.

——She should have been in the future, waiting for him for a long, long time.

He stood up, and the girl tightly clutched his trousers, as if holding on to hope.

"—Where are you going?" Jasmine asked.

"I'm going to the town to deal with Terry's affairs." Su Mingan stroked her head.

"will you come back?"

"Yes." Su Ming'an nodded: "I'll come back to you after I finish dealing with Terry's matter—before that, don't step out of the ancestral hall and live well, you know?"

Jasmine's hand gradually clenched tightly.

Su Mingan felt that Jasmine was approaching, and when he turned around, he saw the girl in the blood-red wedding dress hugging his arm tightly.

"I'll wait for you, for you to come back, for you to marry me—however long it takes," she said:
"But, before that, you can admit, you can tell me, can you promise me something?"

"What?" Su Mingan asked.

"—Are you my god?"

Her pupils were dyed with eagerness, and her eyes were always pure.

Because she was too simple, she sought his answer as if seeking a truth. She was a fanatic, but not a fanatic.

She was looking at him with renewed eagerness in her eyes.

... She no longer lives for her father's words.

Instead, live for your own heart.

She regards the young man in front of her as her god, and because of this, she will become a ghost wandering in the shrine, lost forever.

——But, perhaps, she will also become the most determined and devout pilgrim.

Su Mingan looked at her.

Just as he was about to speak, he was dazzled by a flash of light.

His vision was slightly slanted, and in the gloom, he saw a touch of golden color.

——It is the morning sun.

Light but warm, it poured in from the window, leaving a touch of bright golden in the girl's pupils, dyeing the cold coffin and countless tablets with warmth.

Night had receded.

……

——She has seen the dawn as she wished.

give her hope,

keep her alive.

……

Su Mingan was unable to speak out.

The next moment, the picture in front of him froze.

Boli's leisurely voice sounded.

He had heard this voice before, and it carried the vicissitudes of time.

——Extremely like the mayor Mitchell who greeted them.

……

【——I am Boli, a wanderer returning home from a long journey.Paul Mitchell. 】

【I became her god. 】

[Perhaps, she will be permanently imprisoned in this ancestral hall, like a ghost in eternal darkness. 】

[But I don't have to send away new girls, and I don't have to watch them die. 】

【—Even if this is at the expense of the girl in front of me. 】

[The minority obeys the majority, and the righteousness obeys the righteousness.Father was right. 】

[I'm just a naive child.I should obey my father's beliefs. 】

【I am the rebellious child Boli, and I will make atonement to the gods.I will take over my father's crutches and continue to protect dear Terry. 】

[We are pilgrims with firm beliefs and ghosts who never leave their homeland. 】

[We burn ourselves like a fire, burning our lives and emotions... In this hot land surrounded by beliefs, the warmth comes from ourselves who are burning. 】

[And in that embers. 】

【——I felt an unprecedented light. 】

……

The corpses in the ancestral hall had been cleaned up by Sarina, and the sun was pouring down in large swaths, plating the ground golden.

The girl was looking at him, not yet fully understanding her future destiny.

But she knew that she would wait here—waiting for the god in front of her to come back and marry her.

【Are you my god? 】

【——Bo Li, when will you marry me? 】

The girl asked him that.

Su Mingan looked at her, his eyes were full of the brilliance on her body.

Some indescribable emotions were steaming up in his chest.

……

"Ding dong!"

[You have completed the S-level task · before dawn, and reached the personal copy NE · meet tomorrow]

[Task evaluation: SSS (perfect)! 】

[(NE·Meet Tomorrow): Survival is the carrier of tragedy, and we will struggle endlessly in the days to come.

The girl who fell into the coffin successfully saw the dawn.

She will stay there day and night, pursuing the beliefs she has identified.

I learned appropriate sacrifices and became what my father wanted me to be.

I'm the next mayor to take on the Mitchell name, and I'm ashamed to have left my homeland for another me.

I embrace the incomplete nostalgia and rejoice for the arrival of tomorrow.

But suddenly, I saw her eyes.

Her clear eyes seemed to be interrogating me.

—The town's heir, Polly Mitchell.

Returning from travel, just to live the next [Mayor Mitchell] who I hate the most.

She declared that she was going to marry her, but only to make her live like an imprisoned ghost and make her wait forever, her "god".

Such us, in such a world,

——Is such a "tomorrow" really necessary? 】
