Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

[That book is not, as it appears on the surface, something that can fulfill human wishes. 】

[It represents an extremely evil and ominous existence in the sunken city of Celica under the Herman Islands, even far beyond this world itself. It will fulfill your wish, but this "wishes" must not be It will be what you originally asked for. 】

[What it brings is not joy and happiness, only endless pain and sadness, whether it is for you or those two people. 】

[I have seen the power of that book before. You must listen to me, please. 】

[Lingxue, Hongyue has never been able to fulfill people's wishes. It is just a demon that seeks pleasure from human despair and struggle. It feeds on human hope and despair, so it is able to live like this in this world. Long. 】

[Mei sacrificed herself back then to seal it in the sunken city under the Herman Islands, but because of my own selfishness, in order to see her again, I let this demon escape from the cold deep sea. Wake up...]

[You succeeded, Lingxue, this time I will burn it completely...]

[It is actually a symbol of destruction to this world and cannot be allowed to exist in this world again. 】

Everything that Lan Zhirou had experienced in the Gray Hall of Regret appeared before An Jinrou's eyes. In the basement, the raging fire turned the black book into ashes.

"Then... it's really me..." An Jinrou looked at her in the memory in confusion. At that time, she took the initiative to burn the book that symbolized darkness and depravity, "Is it... my fault?"

"It was me... who wanted to resurrect May... I successfully used this book, but everything is not what I thought... is it... like this?"

Whether it's the handwriting or the voice on the letter, An Jinrou is sure that these things in her memory are indeed from her... So, does she really think what she is doing now is so ridiculous in the future?

"What is the use of that book...? Can you tell me?" When An Jinrou spoke, Lan Zhirou could clearly see that her eyes were full of uneasiness and wavering, and they were no longer as good as they were at the beginning. So firm.

"That book can indeed bring the undead from the past back to reality... but it's not what you think. I guess your original purpose was not to wake Itusuo up." Lan Zhirou said softly, " You want to use Ituso's influence to gain the complete power of this book. Ituso's language itself represents a kind of magic power. Those runes and words are actually things you carved yourself..."

"But your future self knew the true identity of this book, so you buried those things in history again."

"Ituso's legacy brings the power to transcend the past and future and reverse life and death, but it will only fulfill your wishes in a twisted form. The person brought back to you will only complete a set story. Trapping you and her together in an eternal reincarnation. Unless you can wake up, you will never be able to leave this reincarnation. That is no longer Gaoyue, An Jinrou."

"She is just a distorted and corrupt reflection that Ituso showed you. What that reflection brings you is not joy and laughter, but a nightmare of mental torture for both of them, with no end..."

"By bringing her back to reality, you just tortured her again."

"No...impossible. I have already calculated it. It can't be like this..." An Jinrou looked unbelievable. The book in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the dust raised covered it. Those runes are still glowing.

Two tarot cards suddenly appeared in front of Lan Zhirou, and then flew into An Jinrou's hands.

[IX - The Hermit·Hermit, May you see what life has to offer·May you see through the world of mortals. 】

【IX - The Hermit?· Reversed hermit, May you see the value of all things in life·May you feel relieved. 】

An Jinrou stared blankly at the two tarot cards in her hand. They were the tarot cards she and Gaoyue had been making. Before Celica was turned into ruins, that pair of tarot cards not only had the power of prediction. In terms of future abilities, each card also has its own unique magic power.

The corresponding effects of the two hermits are exactly [forget the pain (there are better things in your life)] and [accept reality (there are other things in this world worth living for)].

Those two notes were written by Gao Yue herself, and An Jinrou would never forget them in her life, because she was still gently holding Gao Yue's hand at that time.

"This is not the first time you have saved me. Now, are you going to save me again?" An Jinrou raised the tarot cards in her hand and murmured to herself.

The two tarot cards seemed to be gently responding to her words, turning into light spots and integrating into her body. From An Jinrou's perspective, Gaoyue's figure that only she could see appeared in the distant sky. From the back, the girl still looks like she did when she was young.

"Really...do you even agree with what she said?"

"You are right... you are indeed right..." She bent down in despair, picked up the book, and handed it to Lan Zhirou, "I know what you want to know... take this book Let’s go… If we want to completely put Ituso to sleep, we must return this book.”

"Return it? Do you mean to put this book back in the temple?" Lan Zhirou asked doubtfully.

"No...that's not the case." An Jinrou shook her head tiredly, as if the previous events had completely exhausted her energy, "This book is not entirely the power of Ituso... In order to prevent Ituso from escaping, the ocean also eroded the book. I want to use Ituso's power because if I cannot suppress the will of the ocean, I will not be able to open this book..."

"The reason why this book is enshrined in Ituso's temple is because some people did it intentionally... You can only choose one side. If you want to let Ituso sleep forever, you must stand on the other side of the sea. …Throw this book back into the sea…where it all began.”

"But you have to understand one thing... this ocean will is not a friendly and gentle product. Maybe you have seen the fog at night, and there are some unusual things in it... such as... some giant fish. That It is not a creation of Ituso, but the will of the ocean itself. In order to prevent the assimilated "items" from leaving the waters where the Herman Islands are located, those fish will only attack the assimilated targets... For this reason, they will even imitate some fish that are similar to ‘Assimilated’ stuff.”
