Chapter 290 Do it yourself
Zhong Wan quietly sensed this emotion, steadied herself, and without the slightest resistance, guided this power even more earnestly into the tip of her pen.
The lines she drew remained steady and fluid, yet they seemed to have undergone a new change. The dark lines that were originally used to outline contours were now tinged with a somber hue, as if dried blood mixed with water stains.
Lin Wei's figure on the drawing paper became clearer and clearer. Her pale face was full of pain, and there were deep shadows under her empty eyes. There were faint purplish marks on her exposed neck and wrists.
Zhong Wan paused, her hand holding the paintbrush still. She looked up at Lin Yu, whose eyes were full of expectation, then at Lin Wei in front of her, noticing the exposed scars on her soul's obsession.
Zhong Wan lowered her eyes and continued to look at the drawing paper in front of her, thinking about the emotions she had just felt.
Lin Wei... probably didn't want Lin Yu to see her like this either.
Thinking of this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then she picked up the drawing paper and began to correct the marks on it.
In no time at all, the purplish-blue marks disappeared, replaced by vibrant flower petals or buds.
Zhong Wan continued drawing along this line of thought.
Not only were there wounds, but even the vines covering Lin Wei's body were blooming with roses.
Lin Wei… or rather, those thorny vines also sensed Zhong Wan's kindness.
The tiny vines still entwined around the pen, happily rubbing against Zhong Wan's fingers.
Zhong Wan instantly understood, and the colors under her nose became even richer.
The wounds were covered by petals, and flowers bloomed on the restraints.
When Zhong Wan put down the last stroke, what appeared on the paper was no longer just a bride tormented by pain, but a woman wearing a white wedding dress and armor of roses.
Lin Wei instantly understood Zhong Wan's idea.
The thorny vines tightly wrapped around her phantom also stirred once more.
The black thorns that were wrapped around her seemed to be infected by the power of the painting, and began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sharp thorns began to soften and shrink, and even the dark color became closer to the texture of ink-black vines.
What surprised Zhong Wan the most was that roses slowly bloomed on the vines, on Lin Wei's chest, wrists, neck and many other places.
Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. This time... she shouldn't scare Lin Yu anymore.
Zhong Wan wasn't sure either, but Lin Wei did look less frightening now compared to before.
She put down her paintbrush, picked up the drawing paper in front of her, and gently blew on the still-wet ink as she said softly, "It's ready."
Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly stepped forward, her hand trembling as she hesitantly reached out.
Zhong Wan handed over the drawing paper in her hand and gently comforted her, "Take a look, and say goodbye to your sister properly."
"good……"
Lin Yu nodded, her voice choked with emotion. She gently stroked the familiar face on the drawing paper, and the rose on her body: "Sister...you're so beautiful..."
However, she never saw her sister again.
As Lin Yu thought about this, her vision blurred again.
She quickly and carefully placed the drawing paper on the counter, then hastily wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve.
"Waaah..."
Just as Lin Yu was about to look at the drawing paper again, she vaguely sensed that something had appeared in front of her.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then quickly looked up.
Looking at her sister's ghostly figure, which was exactly the same as the one on the drawing paper,
Lin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes once again.
But this time, besides sadness, his eyes were filled with shock and excitement.
She saw it!
She really saw her sister!
Her older sister, Lin Wei, stood in front of her, but she was no longer the gentle, smiling woman she remembered.
At this moment, her figure was faintly transparent, wearing that familiar wedding dress, and her sister's face was pale and bloodless.
Lin Wei's eyes were vacant, yet they carried an indescribable tranquility.
What shocked Lin Yu the most was that she was surrounded by many roses, as if she were wearing a rose armor.
They covered her wounds, concealed the dirt and bloodstains on her wedding dress, but could not hide her helplessness and pain.
"elder sister……"
Lin Yu's hand trembled as she tried to touch it, but stopped just before she could.
She didn't dare... she was afraid... of hurting her.
Lin Wei's illusory figure seemed to hear Lin Yu's voice; her empty eyes shifted slightly and fell on Lin Yu.
Lin Wei's eyes were still unfocused, but her gaze towards Lin Yu was full of tenderness and reluctance.
Even the rose blooming in her heart trembled slightly.
Just then, Su Mu's phone rang.
She quickly composed herself, picked up her phone and glanced at it, then looked at Zhong Wan, Lin Yu, and Lin Wei, and said in a deep voice, "Gao Jun has been confirmed to have been arrested. All the evidence is complete. He can't escape."
This news was like a final, heavy blow, shattering the invisible shackles that had bound Lin Wei.
Her lips curled up slightly, and a smile instantly appeared on her pale face, softening her expression considerably.
The rose on her chest instantly became even more vibrant, its petals unfurling and its color vivid.
Lin Wei slowly raised her hand, her translucent fingers just touching Lin Yu's hand.
She looked at Lin Yu, her red lips moving slightly twice: "Little Yu... goodbye..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her illusory image instantly became transparent, transforming into countless red and white specks that swirled and rose before finally merging completely into the air flowing within the shop, leaving no trace.
"sister!"
Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly reached out to grab it, but in the end, she couldn't leave any trace.
She stared blankly up at the rooftop, at the places where the stars were disappearing, letting tears stream down her face, silently murmuring, "Sister... goodbye."
[Ding! Detected that the spirit's obsession has been resolved. Mission complete.]
[Task rewards are being distributed...]
Hearing this, Zhong Wan immediately looked away, gazing at the woman on the drawing paper, and couldn't help but ask in her mind, "System, could you transfer that bonus to the designated channel for me?"
[What do you mean, host? Are you sure you don't want this money?]
The cold, mechanical voice carried an undisguised shock.
Zhong Wan instantly understood. Back then, she would try to stretch every penny in half to spend. It seems that her poor state really left a deep impression on the system.
However, she still loves money very much, but she thinks that perhaps some people need this money more than she does.
Thinking of this, Zhong Wan sighed softly to herself and continued, "No, thank you. Could you please help me donate through reliable channels to support women's organizations that are struggling, wanting to escape domestic violence, and want to start over? Helping them relearn skills and gain the ability to live independently would be a good thing."
The system paused for a moment, then replied, "[It's possible, but it's impossible to channel the money entirely through existing organizations and use it solely for their benefit.]"
Zhong Wan: "?"
The system suggests you create your own organization and do it yourself.
Zhong Wan instantly understood; it was all about exploitation at every level.
But can she really do it herself?
