Su Deng smiled faintly, "Actually, the so-called ghost and god contract you signed with me wasn't a pair?"
She didn't wait for the evil spirit to answer and continued.
“You are neither me nor an evil god. You are just a part of the evil god, coming out of the Mirror of Gods and Demons to bewitch people’s hearts, incite their desires, evil thoughts, ambitions and greed, and provide nourishment for the evil god.”
"You're just making wild guesses!"
The voice immediately retorted.
"Even if an evil god is evil, it is still a god. A god's power should be beyond imagination, and you don't have that much power."
Su Deng said calmly, “You are an evil spirit. You want to break away from the evil god, or rather, you want to become a new evil god. So you chose me and made a pact with me, trying to make me your believer and your offering.”
"This contract requires my consent and absolute willingness to be successful, right? So you keep provoking me and bewitching me. A body full of resentment, desire, greed, and evil thoughts is the best offering."
"Do you think that by signing a contract with you I have become your believer and patron? Do you think I really have no choice?"
You're wrong.
She truly never had a choice in her life.
Unable to die, forced to live.
The same applies to the gaming world today.
She has always believed that.
Until the ghost-god contract not long ago.
She could refuse the contract, at the cost of Qin Xian's life and the collapse of the current game world.
That was ruthless and cruel.
She chose to sign the contract; she was soft-hearted, which is a sign of kindness.
This was her choice.
The same applies to whether or not to help the little match girl.
At the crossroads of good and evil, she made her choice.
This choice had implications for what followed.
Actually, she didn't choose to be good.
She simply projected her own life onto the situation, felt sorry for the girl, and offered a small act of kindness within her means.
This changed the little match girl and also saved her in the final fairy tale cycle world.
“I agree to sign a contract with you, but I am not your believer, so the contract is not truly complete.”
Su Deng's voice was clear and firm.
"you……"
Are you trying to run away?
A dull ache throbbed between my brows, and the power within my body was struggling to break free.
"You think you can leave now that you've entered my body?"
You think you can just slip away after you've already got the power?
Su Deng's lips curled into a cold smile as she forcefully pressed her hands, which were gripping the sword hilt, inward.
The sharp, diamond-shaped sword pierced through his body.
"No!"
The evil spirit's terrified screams could no longer be heard by Su Deng, whose body had fallen heavily to the ground.
"Su Deng! Su Deng? Su Deng..."
The calls, sometimes near, sometimes far, made Su Deng's head throb with pain. She suddenly opened her eyes amidst a suffocating, stabbing pain in her chest, gasping for breath.
"Su Deng Miao!" The black cat pounced on her. "You're finally awake, meow! You scared me to death! I thought you were dead, meow!"
It's Acha.
Su Deng looked down at her chest. There were no wounds or bloodstains, only a dull, aching pain.
The essence of fairy tales is kindness, beauty, and self-sacrifice.
It doesn't follow the original fairy tale, but rather the fairy tale within this game instance.
The little match girl met her when she was about to freeze to death, and she saved her life.
In her final moments of despair, the little girl received kindness.
She indirectly changed the predetermined trajectory of the little match girl.
The illusion reflects reality, and in that alternate ending where everything starts anew, she, Su Deng, will definitely appear and save her.
This is something that has broken free from the control of the Mirror of Gods and Demons, thus becoming a breakthrough to break the cycle of fairy tales.
Despite being misled and filled with resentment, anger, and unwillingness, Su Deng was still willing to sacrifice herself to save the world.
This contradicts the control settings in the illusion.
She successfully broke free from the double fairytale illusion and emerged alive.
She reached out and touched Acha's fluffy head. Even though she still didn't know who Acha was or what her purpose was in following her, she felt an extraordinary longing and closeness when she saw it at this moment.
"I'm fine."
Su Deng let out a few breaths of stale air. "Let's leave here."
Her face was pale, weak and exhausted, as if she had gone through some great hardship.
But Acha didn't ask what she had experienced after falling into a deep sleep. Instead, she jumped onto her shoulder, found a comfortable spot, and lay down. "Have you found a way to leave the Mirror of Gods and Demons?"
The original mirror is broken, so going back the way we came is definitely not an option.
Since this is a world of mirrors, the entrance to the passage must also be a mirror.
The evil gods and demons have vanished without a trace, but the mirror remains before us.
Su Deng took a deep breath, and with Acha closing her eyes, stepped inside.
After a brief period of weightlessness, a deep and beautiful forest came into view, and the fresh air made people feel relaxed.
Acha stared blankly, "They're out..."
After Su Deng suddenly lost consciousness, the evil god disappeared.
It tried its best to wake Su Deng but failed each time, attempting to pass through the mirror.
This time, it actually came out.
After a brief moment of surprise, Acha turned her head and looked at Su Deng's quiet depths with a strange light in her eyes.
Su Deng hurried towards the forest square.
"Su Deng!"
Qin Xian, still dressed as a prince, kept looking at the road. When he saw her from afar, he ran over.
Su Deng was momentarily dazed, and subconsciously asked, "Do I have a child?"
"?" Qin Xian was stunned for a moment, his facial muscles twitching imperceptibly. "Anyway, Su Muye calls you 'Mom' every day, and you can't do a paternity test in this game world, so who knows if he's your child?"
