Extra 2: Rescue and Redemption
*"When I first arrived here, the God of Time and Space showed me the comic book "Funeral at Dawn" and I tore up the book. What the hell was that? Then I realized that it was all real history that happened after I died there. At that time, I wanted to go back, but the God of Time and Space told me that if I wanted to save my original world, I should help save this world, which is the time and space you originally lived in, the Earth, or the Type-1 Earth. Because if this time and space is destroyed, my original world will also be destroyed. Although he said that it was not destruction, but a more terrible consequence than destruction, I didn't understand, so I just regarded it as destruction."
* "I came here in 2060. It took me a while to learn the messy modern culture here, which was the culture of the future for me, but soon the situation here became very bad. I could only believe that what he said was true, but I didn't get the second comic from him until some time ago."
Inger interrupted Gu Shu and said, "Wait? You mean, the second part? The comic?"
*"Yes, he turned the history of your past, what you and Alex experienced, into the second part of the comic, and released it when things were a little more peaceful here, and serialized it! You know, as someone involved, I can only follow the serialization, and what's the point of him saying that the incident was happening and there was no way to record it in advance."
* "Oh... my god..." Inger put his hand on his temple.
Alex put down his knife and fork and frowned: "Are you having a headache again?" He stretched out his hand to touch him, but Inger dodged it. He then noticed that the back of his ears were all red.
Inger wiped his face speechlessly.
He felt the skin on his face and body burning.
There is no such thing as a public execution.
Alex glanced at the mirror and the person on it, and said calmly, "You've been talking for three hours. Let's eat first."
Inger said, "I'll talk while I eat."
Ola on the other side said with a smile: "This is the first time I see someone holding a mirror and chatting while eating."
Christine asked, "Is that person from another world? I'm curious."
Someone else also interrupted Gu Shu: "Ah, I recognized him. Is this the protagonist of the comic you were talking about?"
* "Yes, I remember that he kept shouting that this was himself, his original body. I didn't expect it to be real."
* "This disaster was already unscientific enough, and now another world has appeared."
*"I've read that comic too! It's so touching!!!"
*"I think our brother Mu's story is also very moving, why hasn't God made a comic book for him?"
*"Don't cue me, I'm going out with him, I'm so busy, how can you still be quiet now, you guys stay home and behave yourself and don't cause any trouble."
*"Just the two of you? Do you need my help? Is it dangerous? Forget it, you always lie. I'm fine anyway, so I'll go with you."
* "You're bored, aren't you?"
* "Gu Shu, would you like something to eat or drink? You've been on video calls a lot lately."
Gu Shu took the food and said, "Thank you."
Inger felt like digging deeper into the cracks in the ground. He held his forehead and said, "The God of Time and Space didn't even ask us..."
He wanted to withdraw all his previous good feelings towards the God of Time and Space.
Gu Shu said: "Why? Thanks to this comic, I can know your story. You did a great job! The second part has been serialized for three months. Do you know how many times I cried? Although I was really embarrassed and embarrassed when I saw my own name in the early stage, I cried. You protected my family, and I am very grateful to you. You protected this world, and I was also very moved. At first I thought that if I could meet them unilaterally, I would be satisfied. Time and Space said that there is no way to exchange us back, but I have many friends here now, and you there too, so this is the best now. Okay, he is a bastard, but he still did a good thing."
*“Hmm…” Inger also thought this was the best way, he smiled and said: *“Our names…”
Gu Shu sipped his noodles and said frankly: "I have now accepted my identity as Gu Shu, so just call me Gu Shu, otherwise it will be easy to confuse people. You are also used to being called Inger, right?"
Inger's smile deepened.
Gu Shu looked at him seriously and said: "To be honest, I have a lot to tell you, but the most important thing is, you! Stay at home and don't run around!"
Saving the world doesn't mean the curse will disappear.
Inger still has two chances.
Inger laughed and retorted: "I don't want to."
* "Um?"
*"Alex and I have made an appointment to travel around the world. I have no money and no time over there. The scenery here is so beautiful and most of it is unpolluted. When I am done, I will travel around the world."
Gu Shu's expression suddenly brightened: "Hahaha that's not bad, but be careful!"
*"Who in this world can hurt me now?" Inger turned his head and saw Alex looking at him with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
And Alex was there too.
Inger laughed again.
"Ying, please eat a bite first." Alex repeated.
Inger put the mirror to the other side to prevent Alex from taking it and smashing it.
They were sitting at the dining table eating.
Someone outside came to report.
"Your Majesty! We received a notice from the temple saying that... Archbishop Bixi has died."
The four of them looked unhappy when they heard the news.
Alex immediately got up and said, "Where is it? Let's go there right away."
However, there were no enemies.
Bixi died in a very ordinary farmhouse.
When the four of them arrived, they could only see Bixi lying on the bed, with her unchanged face and pure white hair.
The Pope stood there, mourning for the disciple she had loved for more than a decade.
Tears dripped silently down her face.
Inger looked at Bisi's white hair, and for some reason, the image of Elena suddenly flashed through his mind. Her hair was still white.
Alex asked, "Why did she...die?"
Vito answered, "It's because her life force was exhausted. I found out that she used a life-related spell and used her life force to save more than one person. Now, even if we conduct a medical examination, we will only find that she died of old age."
Ola took a deep breath and looked at the low beams of the farmhouse in disbelief.
Christine took her hand.
When she first saw Bisi coming back, she thought it was Queen Lucia, but since then, Bisi has never behaved strangely. During the war with the demons, she and Inger tried their best to save people. Even after that, she kept wandering among the people to treat those who could not afford medical treatment until she died there.
Her hatred seemed like a joke, as if Lucia were dead long ago.
This is a signal.
Tell her it's time to let it go.
Aura whispered to Bixi's body, "I'm sorry."
She was not apologizing to Lucia, but to Bixi.
Inger said softly, "Alex, your guess is actually not unreasonable. The goddess once told me that from then on, this body has the memories of two people. It's just that I am more inclined to believe that this is Bixi, and you are more inclined to believe that this is Lucia."
Alex said: "No one can know the truth except them."
But at least they knew that the person who died in the Spring Palace that year was Lucia until his death, and the person in front of them was Bixi until his death.
Inside the Spring Palace King's Palace.
The woman with the innocent smile and the woman with the numb expression, their foreheads fit tightly together.
The original body and the clone.
The clone that was not created by the body of the goddess took away half of her soul, but it was the purest part.
What Lucia wanted was to take away this pure body. She was just a puppet and a vessel that she had prepared.
However, as the two souls touched, the memories of each other's lives flowed into each other's minds.
After a moment, they opened their eyes at the same time.
Tears welled up in Bixi's eyes, and her pupils regained their spirit. Pity, sorrow, and pain continued to fall with her tears. She regained her will.
Lucia stepped back.
Lucia looked at Bixi's eyes wide with tears in her eyes and suddenly said, "I've changed my mind. You stay here. I'm leaving..."
Lucia took a step forward, almost running away.
However, Bixi rushed forward and grabbed her sleeve, not caring about the blood on her hands. Her voice became hoarse, and she cried, but she said firmly: "I will give you the punishment and blessing you want. I will save you, Lucia, let's exchange."
Lucia threw her head back and kicked her to the ground.
"I said I don't need it anymore, I don't want it anymore!"
Bixi leaned on his single-winged staff, and a brilliant magic circle rose from under his feet.
She and Lucia are clones with different bodies but the same heart. Lucia has nowhere to escape. Bixi slowly stood up and said:
"I give you my body. I want you to go against everything you've done and live the way I live. Use your life to save others. Make a promise with me. The goddess is gone, only we are left."
"The moment you fulfill our pledge, you will find your answer."
Lucia looked at her: "Why should I agree to you?"
"Lucia, no matter how many people you have hurt or what you have done, I forgive you for your sins. So, start living the life you want again."
"You created me. You gave yourself an opportunity. Do you want to give it up?"
"So what if you're arrogant? If you want to live, you have to live no matter what. If the goddess doesn't exist, you are God and don't need to rely on anyone. You have to save yourself... Am I right?"
"Lucia, I'm here to save you."
Bixi held out her hand.
This was their last touch.
The person who was separated from her flesh, magic, and soul eventually returned to her body.
Gave her a new life.
The girl who woke up at the church door was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
The people of the Vatican were as warm as the first ray of sunshine you see.
The Pope treated her like his own daughter.
She learned magic from her mentor.
She listened to the teachings of the goddess in the Vatican.
It's just that she has never seen the goddess.
She firmly believed that the teacher could hear and see the words of the goddess.
But pure faith can also be said to be blind in another sense.
At the beginning, many people asked her to treat them.
She saw that those exquisitely dressed patients were not only physically terminally ill, but also psychologically.
She saw that those patients in tattered clothes could not even get through the threshold of treatment, and they did not even hope for treatment, but just resigned themselves to their fate and died.
Ignorance and the inability to resist are the biggest problems for most people.
The goddess seemed to have taught them to submit to their fate, but not to fight against it.
If the goddess really exists.
If the goddess really exists...
Why wait for the goddess to come?
Thinking this, Bisi Saintostolia left the Church.
She is looking for a way to fight her fate.
She went around to treat people in different places, and when they couldn't find her, she took the initiative to find them.
Her feet stepped on marble bricks sprinkled with magic stone powder, on the shaky old wooden bridge, on the muddy road after the rain, on the ridges filled with natural fertilizers, on the stone paths covered with flowers and plants, and on the sky burial pits eaten away by maggots...
People's desire for life, fear of death, the tenacity and fragility of life are all vividly remembered.
The goddess looks at everyone, yet is beside no one.
The Pope once said that when you become Pope, you will be able to hear the Goddess's oracle with your own ears.
If you heard it, then what?
Then, stay in the Goddess Church and be a loyal goddess's mouthpiece to the world?
If he becomes the Pope, he will need to stay in the capital's cathedral to listen to the oracle of the goddess.
When she was lonely as a child, she sometimes felt disrespectful. She hoped that the Pope would accompany her instead of shutting herself in to search for the voice of the goddess that might come at any time.
But she had always been taught to revere the goddess from the bottom of her heart.
If she became the Pope, would the goddess also hear her own voice?
Why doesn't anyone think this is a terrible thing?
Bixi was very scared, so she would not only say it out loud, but also control herself in her heart whenever she had bold and disrespectful thoughts, and try not to think about anything.
So this idea was gradually worn away.
She experienced the joy of faith.
There is no need for any questioning, and there will be no response. You only need to believe in the existence of the Goddess. All destinations have a basis, and all paths are freely determined, which will bring eternal support to the soul.
This is also true for most people.
She shared her insights with more people, which aroused widespread resonance.
She preached the teachings as she went.
She began to firmly believe that she was the goddess's agent, her magic power became stronger and stronger, and she carried out salvation.
When she returned to the Holy See of the Goddess, the Pope looked at her and declared her to be her true successor.
The Pope's eyes were full of satisfaction, while Bi Xi just smiled slightly.
This is her mission here.
Follow the guidance of the goddess, there is nothing sad or happy.
Until that person revealed her true identity.
The kind and beautiful queen who hid from her during every royal prayer service, she had never seen her before.
At the first glance, a heavy blow came from the depths of the soul.
Her body was no longer hers, it belonged to that person.
Her soul seemed to be trapped in a small dark room, watching helplessly as that person made her do something she shouldn't do.
She looked at all this and wondered, was this also a test that the goddess had prepared for her loyal believers?
She found that she was no longer moved by people’s suffering and just fulfilled her healing mission conscientiously.
If you are alive, that's fine. If you are dead, that's fine too.
Anyway, it's fate given by God.
Everyone has his own turbulent life and destined ending.
She didn't know what true salvation was.
She found that what she did some time ago was no different from what she was doing now.
At first, the control was piecemeal. She never thought of resisting.
Because she is who she is, they are the same person.
Later, she took her away.
Lucia didn't let her kill anyone, but she let her stand by and watch.
She'd spent her life saving people, and this was curbing her instincts.
Resistance and unwillingness to resist, these two emotions appear at the same time, tearing her soul apart.
But Bixi will be allowed to save one person.
That's Lucia.
It is her, but not her existence.
She was controlled by her, but she did not lose her independent personality, and she had no idea what kind of person Lucia was.
She didn't know what was hidden in those ruthless and cold eyes that only regarded her as a container.
However, having seen too many eyes, Bi Xi knew that those were eyes asking for help.
Sometimes, the person with those eyes is unaware of it.
But that desire touches the soul.
So, after accepting her memory, I completely understood the existence that constituted this person.
As always, Bixi extended a hand to those who asked for help.
This person is different from the ones she has saved before.
She didn't believe in goddesses.
She wanted to walk to a non-existent hell, dragging everyone with her.
She didn't want anyone to rescue her.
But she longed to be rescued, she didn't know it.
She was deprived of the time when she needed to be innocent, and when she brought herself out, she condoned the cruelty of her own innocence.
Destroy those who want to be destroyed, and kill those who want to be killed. In the end, she herself is no exception.
Then Bisi understood that Lucia's hatred for the peaceful and prosperous Chuone was due to jealousy. This land had all the good things that her homeland did not have. Lucia wanted to destroy not the country of Zalambra, but the corrupt regime that imprisoned the people of that country. She wanted to bring the suffering people of her hometown to a new world.
The destruction of her homeland and Qiu Nie was her goal, but the remaining corruption had already been destroyed before she could make her move.
Even Lucia herself is lost and doomed to self-destruction.
She herself is the only one allowed to save her.
According to the world's standards, Lucia is an unforgivable sinner.
The Vatican only taught Bisi how to save others, but did not teach her how to judge and punish others, so she could only do it her own way.
Bixi believes that giving a person who desires self-destruction a new life and teaching her temperance and patience is the best punishment for her and a blessing for a pitiful person.
So they exchanged skins.
As a human incarnation, she wakes up at the last moment and decides to save the last person, Lucia.
A human being who created her.
Her body, soul, blood, and magic all come from her.
This is judgment, punishment, salvation, and blessing.
Regardless of the consequences, it was because she firmly believed that Lucia, who possessed her memory, would not repeat the same mistake.
Even if it is fake, she can pretend to be it for her whole life and fulfill her promise.
Lucia had only one request, that this palace filled with sin be razed to the ground.
Bixi, who entered Lucia's body, fulfilled her willful wish.
Lucia had killed all the people, Bixi had razed the Spring Palace to the ground, and only this sinful body remained.
Lucia symbolizes killing and destruction, and what she ultimately destroys is herself. She is loyal to what she wants to do until the very last moment.
She believed that on top of the ruins, there would be a group of people who would build new houses, and new hope would emerge after destruction.
And Bixi only knows how to save people in her life.
It was easy for Lucia to impersonate Bixi with her memories.
There were two voices in her heart.
Break that promise, follow that promise.
If memory is the material that makes up a person, then they have actually become one.
Regardless of her original personality, she ultimately chose the latter.
Long ago, Lucia also hated the peaceful and prosperous Quene from the bottom of her heart.
But no one knows that long ago, the little girl from the flower farmer's family had a great wish.
She longed to bring the suffering people in her hometown to a new world and build a garden of happiness for them.
But she only learned how to doubt and how to hate. The environment in which she grew up only taught her how to destroy things she wanted but could not have.
Living according to Bixi's way, Lucia saw a completely different landscape from her previous self.
Seeing the suffering of all humanity, she chose to do what she had always wanted to do, what she could not do as Lucia, but could now naturally do as the Archbishop.
Spend your life to save everything.
And in the process forgive yourself for your past.
She watched as Elena and Milia rescued Inger, and she memorized the spell and learned it.
Later, when she went to Livil, she found Milia and asked her for the precious primer that was infused with elf blood.
She said she believed it as a research project.
There was no distrust in the eyes of the naive 200-year-old elf wizard.
The person she trusted was Bi Xi who had been saving people.
Lucia always thought so.
However, when she traveled around the world and met patients whose abilities were beyond her ability to save them, she made her choice without hesitation, as if it was her instinct.
Maybe it's Bixi's instinct.
She is no longer clear.
Lucia killed many people.
Bixi saved many people.
When they merged together, she didn't know what to do. It was just that this skin fixed her role and affected her judgment. She stubbornly believed so.
She closed her eyes as she exhausted all her life listening to the little girl's cry.
In the last moments before her death, she felt no pain.
He sacrificed his life to save others.
Dying of natural causes is the happiest way to die in the world.
She never dreamed that one day she would deserve such a peaceful death.
All the beautiful scenery of this life before death reappears before your eyes like fleeting glimpses, most of which come from the last short period of life.
She never thought that she would feel a little grateful in the end.
She was grateful to Bixi.
The clones she created.
It was she who told her that life was not all bad.
Salvation is the salvation of salvation, and redemption is the redemption of atonement.
