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. The bastard God of 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."
“我就是你創造的，你給了你自己一個機會，你要放棄這個機會嗎？”
“傲慢又如何？你想活着，無論怎樣活着，你都要活下去，如果女神不存在，你就是神，不需要依靠任何人，你要救出自己………我說的對嗎？”
“露西娅，我來救你。”
碧錫向她伸出了手。
這是她們最後的觸碰。
從她的骨肉、魔力、靈魂裏分離出來的人，最終又回歸了她的身體。
給了她一次新生。
教堂門口醒來的少女，如同一張白紙般純潔。
教廷的人都溫暖如睜眼看到的第一抹陽光。
教皇待她如親生女兒。
她從導師那學會了魔法。
她在教廷傾聽有關女神的教導。
只是她從未見過女神。
她對于老師能聽見看見女神之言這一事實堅定不移地相信着。
但那純粹的信仰從另一方面也可以說是盲目的。
一開始有很多人請她去救治。
她看到，那些穿着精致的病人，不僅身體上病入膏肓，心理上更是。
她看到，那些穿着破爛的病人，連救治的門檻都邁不進來，甚至不去寄希望于救治，只順從天命而亡。
愚昧無知和不知反抗是大多數人最大的症結。
女神似乎教會了他們順從命運，卻沒教會他們與命運抗争。
如果女神真的存在。
如果女神真的存在……
為何要等女神降臨呢？
這樣想着的碧錫·聖斯托利亞離開了教廷。
她在尋找與命運抗争的手段。
她到處救治不同地方的人，他們找不到她，她就主動去找他們。
她的腳踩過撒着魔石粉的大理石磚，踩過搖搖欲墜的老木橋，踩過雨後的爛泥路，踩過填滿天然化肥的田埂，踩過花草蔓生的石徑，踩過被蛆蟲啃爛的天葬坑………
人，對于生的渴望，死的畏懼，生命的頑強，生命的脆弱，歷歷在目。
女神，望着每個人，卻不在任何人身邊。
教皇大人說過，當你成為教皇，你便能親耳聽到女神的神谕。
假如聽到了，然後呢？
然後，一直呆在女神教廷，做一個忠誠的女神向這世間的傳話筒麽？
如果成了教皇，便需要為了傾聽女神的神谕一直呆在首都總教堂內。
她小時候孤單的時候，有時會生出不敬之心，她希望教皇比起閉關尋找那不知什麽時候會來的是女神的聲音，還不如陪陪她。
但她一直被教導着，要對女神發自內心的崇敬。
如果她成了教皇，女神也會聽到自己的心聲麽？
為什麽沒人覺得這是一件可怕的事情？
碧錫就很害怕，于是不只是嘴上，心裏每當有大膽和不敬的念頭産生就會自己管束自己，最好什麽都不想。
于是這個想法也慢慢被磨平。
她體會到了信仰的快樂。
不需要任何質疑，也不會有任何回應，只需要相信女神這種存在，一切的歸途都有據可依，一切的道路自由命定，就會給心靈帶來永恒的依靠。
對于大多數人民來說，也是如此。
她把自己的感悟說給更多人聽，引起了廣泛的共鳴。
她一邊走一邊傳播教義。
她開始堅信自己是女神的代行者，她的魔力愈發強大，她執行着拯救。
回到女神教廷的時候，教皇看着她，宣布了她是她真正的繼承者。
教皇的眼裏全是滿意，而碧錫只是微微一笑。
這就是她存在于此的使命。
順應女神的指引，無可悲也無可喜。
直到，那個人，現出她的真身。
每次皇室祈禮時都躲着她的善良美麗的皇後，她以前從未見過她。
只第一眼，就從靈魂深處傳來了重擊。
她的身體不再是她的，是那個人的。
她的靈魂像是被困在一個小小的黑暗的房間裏，眼睜睜着看着那個人讓她做一些她不應該做的事情。
她看着這些，想問，這，也是女神為她的忠實信徒準備好的試煉麽？
她發覺，不知從何時起，自己不再為人的痛苦而觸動，只是盡職盡責地完成醫治的任務。
若是活着，便好。若是死了，也行。
反正都是神賜予的命運。
每個人都有他波瀾的人生和注定的結局。
什麽是真正的救贖，她并不知道。
她發覺，自己好一段時間之前做的事情和現在也沒有區別。
一開始是零零碎碎地控制。她打心底沒有想過反抗。
因為她就是她，她們是同一個人。
到後來，她帶着她走了。
露西娅沒讓她殺過人，卻讓她袖手旁觀。
她一生都在救人，這是在遏制她的本能。
反抗與不想反抗，兩種情緒會同時出現，撕裂着她的靈魂。
但是碧錫會被允許救一個人。
那就是露西娅。
是她，又不是她的存在。
她被她所控制，卻沒有喪失獨立的人格，也不清楚露西娅是個什麽樣的人。
那雙只把自己當容器的無情的冰冷的眼中，到底藏着什麽，她不知道。
只是，看過太多眼睛的碧錫知道，那是求救的眼睛。
有的時候，那雙眼的本人是不自知的。
但那渴望，觸及靈魂。
所以，接受了她的記憶，在徹底知曉構成這個人的全部的存在的時候。
碧錫一如既往向求救的人伸出了手。
這個人，和她以前救過的人不太一樣。
她不相信女神。
她想要走向不存在的地獄，拖着所有人一起。
她不想要別人去救她。
但她渴望被救，她不自知。
被抹去需要天真的那段時光的她，把自己帶出來的時候，就縱容了自己天真的殘忍。
毀滅想要毀滅的，殘殺想要殘殺的。最後她自己也不例外。
于是碧錫明白了，露西娅發自內心憎恨和平而繁榮的丘涅是源于嫉妒，這片土地擁有她的故國不曾擁有的美好的一切。露西娅渴望毀滅的不是薩蘭布拉這個國家，而是圈/禁着那個國家人民的腐朽的政權，她渴望帶着自己家鄉苦難的人們獲得一片新天地。
覆滅故國和丘涅是她想要完成的目标，然而殘存的腐朽在她動手之前已然覆滅。
連露西娅自己都迷失了，注定走向自我毀滅。
她自己是唯一允許救她的存在。
露西娅在世間的标準看來，是無可饒恕的罪人。
教廷只教會了碧錫如何拯救別人，沒教會她如何審判、懲罰別人，所以，她只能按照自己的方式去做。
碧錫認為給予一個渴望自我毀滅的人以新生，教她節制和忍耐，就是對她最好的懲罰，也是對于一個可悲的人的祝福。
于是她們交換了皮囊。
身為一個人類的化身，她在最後一刻醒來，決定去拯救最後一個人，露西娅。
創造她的一個人類。
她的肉身、靈魂、血脈、魔力都來自于她。
這是審判，是懲罰，是拯救，也是祝福。
不論後果，是因為她堅信，擁有了她的記憶的露西娅不會重蹈覆轍。
即便是假的，她也能僞裝一輩子，去履行與她的承諾。
露西娅只有一個要求，把這個裝滿罪惡的宮殿夷為平地。
進入露西娅皮囊的碧錫滿足了她任性的願望。
人已經被露西娅殺光了，碧錫夷平了春宮，剩下的只有這個罪惡的肉身。
露西娅象征着殺戮和毀滅，她最後毀滅的是自己，她忠實于自己想要做的事情，直到最後一刻。
她相信，在廢墟之上，會有一群人能建起新的房子，毀滅之後會出現新的希望。
而碧錫一生只會拯救。
帶着碧錫的記憶，去僞裝她，對于露西娅來說是一件很容易的事情。
她心裏有兩個聲音。
破壞這個承諾，遵循這個承諾。
如果說記憶就是構成一個人的素材，她們其實已經融為一體。
無論原本人格是哪個，她最終選擇了後者。
很久之前，露西娅也曾發自內心憎恨和平而繁榮的丘涅。
但無人知曉，久遠的曾經，那個賣花農家的小小的女孩，有一個宏大的願望。
她渴望帶着自己家鄉苦難的人們獲得一片新天地。帶着他們建造一個只剩幸福的花園。
但她只學會了如何去懷疑，如何去憎恨，那樣成長的環境塑造出的她，只教會了她如何去摧毀得不到卻想要的東西。
依照碧錫的方式去活，露西娅看到了和從前的自己完全不同的風景。
看到全人類的苦難，她選擇了去做她原本就想做，身為露西娅做不到，現在身為大主教順理成章能做到的事情。
耗盡自己的生命，去拯救一切。
并在這個過程中寬恕自己的過去。
在艾列娜和米莉亞拯救英格爾的時候，她就在一邊看着，她記下了魔咒，學會了。
之後，去黎微爾的時候，她找到米莉亞向她要了融入了精靈之血的珍貴引子。
她說作為研究，她就信了。
天真的兩百歲的精靈法師眼中沒有不信任。
她信任的是這個一直在救人的碧錫。
露西娅每次都這麽想。
然而當她走遍這個世界，遇見了她的能力難以挽回的病人的時候，她毫不猶豫做出了選擇，那仿佛就是她的本能。
也許是碧錫的本能。
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.
