Chapter 203 Farewell "I like you, so I hope you can be happy..."
In the end, Ying Yao still failed to extract what he wanted from Nanmen Jue.
Nanmen Jue wasn't good at lying, and she didn't intend to deceive Ying Yao on purpose. If everything ended and she had no way to save herself, then at least the impression she left on Ying Yao would be "that dead ex," not "that person who lied to him, deceived him, and took advantage of him."
Although she did take advantage of Ying Yao, not lying was her bottom line; she couldn't bear the shame.
Finally, Nanmen Jue said to Yao, "This matter involves a contract with the crow, so it's hard to say. But the crow will protect me. Don't forget, if I die, it won't live well either."
She wasn't lying, she just didn't say anything.
However, this statement did have a somewhat reassuring effect on Yao.
After Ying Yao left, Nanmen Jue pulled both legs onto the sofa, buried his head in his knees, and curled himself into a small ball.
"sorry."
...
With Ying Yao assigned to keep an eye on things, only Mo Gui remained to accompany Nanmen Jue into the cycle of reincarnation.
With Nanmen Jue's cheating, Mo Heng quickly became a gold-level celebrity, and Mo Gui confidently let him go out and make his own way.
He also joined the Entropy Guild, which now boasts four gold-ranked members, making it incredibly successful and poised to become the number one guild in the Reincarnation Space.
However, now the four major guilds are no different from one guild. Anyone with a brain knows that they are just Nanmen Jue's close friends and relatives. With the four of them sticking together, the entire Samsara Space seems to have become Nanmen Jue's world.
With such a strong momentum, Nanmen Jue's demands were met with almost effortless ease.
The process went even more smoothly than Nanmenjue had imagined, so she naturally had to speed things up as well.
When Mo Gui was about to enter the pillar of light with her again, he suddenly stopped and stared intently at Nanmen Jue's face.
"Sister Jue, did you...not sleep well?"
He asked the question with great hesitation. At their level, unless they hadn't slept for a month or two, their complexion wouldn't be as bad as Nanmen Jue's.
Nanmen Jue probably hasn't looked in a mirror before; her face is as white as a water ghost.
Nanmen Jue was stunned. She had just had her blood drawn before coming out. The amount was so large that Yu Wanyan was terrified and shouted that it was enough. She said that she felt a little dizzy.
She'd been so busy these past few days that she was physically exhausted, and she'd completely forgotten to take care of herself first.
"Wait for me a moment." She immediately went to repair her body.
Even if he has a blood deficiency, it won't affect anything, but Nanmen Jue won't force himself to suffer without pain.
Once Ying Yao and the others' conditions stabilized, they began entering the cycle of reincarnation together with Nanmen Jue.
Soon, Nanmen Jue had accumulated enough faith power. She only needed to wait two or three more days to complete the final step of the ritual: transformation.
At that time, Nanmenjue will shed its human identity and dimension, becoming a completely new life form.
As for whether she could still maintain the thoughts and feelings of "Nanmen Jue" at that time, no one could guarantee it.
In two or three days, we can enter another world. The more power we have, the more secure we are.
With that in mind, Nanmen Jue decided to enter one last world.
This time, Ying Yao had something to do at the Crimson Vatican and didn't accompany her; only Mo Gui went with her.
Perhaps sensing a strange atmosphere, Mo Gui was unusually silent this time.
Mo Gui seemed a bit quieter during these few trips into the cycle of reincarnation, not as talkative as before. However, Nanmen Jue thought it was because he had grown up a bit.
This time, however, Mo Gui seemed to have something to say but couldn't bring himself to say it.
"What’s wrong with you?"
It was snowing in this last world, and Nanmen Jue asked this question in front of a warm campfire.
This scene seemed familiar. In that eerie world, when Mo Gui cried and asked her why she had to kill someone, it was also on a snowy night like this.
However, times have changed. Nanmen Jue is no longer a murderer, and Mo Gui is no longer a rookie who lives off Nanmen Jue.
Hearing her ask that, Mo Gui hesitantly raised his head, looking very unlike himself.
Nanmen Jue was very patient tonight. She jokingly asked with a smile, "Has your belated rebellious phase arrived?"
Mo Gui remained silent, his gaze darkening further in the warm firelight.
Looking at him, Nanmen Jue suddenly realized how much this boy, whom she had practically raised, had changed.
Even after experiencing that bizarre world, Mo Gui suddenly grew up overnight, and he is noticeably different from who he is now.
He truly is a renowned powerhouse in the cycle of reincarnation. Nanmen Jue thought with satisfaction.
The silence lasted too long, then the flame crackled and a playful cluster of flames shot into the air before suddenly bursting apart, like a brief burst of fireworks.
"Sister Jue," Mo Gui finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
"Hmm?" Nanmen Jue responded.
"In your eyes, will I always just be a child?"
Nanmen Jue paused in her playful fiddling with the flames, rested her face on her knees, and looked up at Mo Gui.
Mo Gui no longer resembles a boy at all; the young man's face is handsome and composed, and his demeanor is not quite like hers, but rather somewhat like Ying Yao.
This reminded Ying Yao of the way he had looked at her with those all-knowing eyes before.
“I know that what I can do, you and Yingyao can do too. It is because you protected me and nurtured me that I am who I am today,” Mo Gui said. “But Sister Jue, I am growing up too.”
Nanmen Jue said, "Do not return."
"I don't want to act like a real child, grabbing your clothes, crying and begging you to look at me... but I've found that turning into a child might be my only option when I'm with you." Mo Gui gave a bitter smile, his expression turning sour. "You and Ying Yao... are you together?"
Silence fell as large snowflakes drifted down from the sky, landing on Nanmenjue's arched back and eyebrows.
“No,” she said.
"Hmm...hmm?" Mo Gui looked up in surprise. "But I could clearly sense that the atmosphere between you two was just a little off..."
"No." Nanmen Jue repeated.
Mo Gui shut his mouth in a daze.
Nanmen Jue gave a negative answer. A thin layer of snow covered her eyebrows and eyes, obscuring her expression. Her clear gaze looked over through the snow on her eyelashes, appearing so gentle and cold.
“I just wanted to give it a try,” she said. “But now I think we might not be a good match.”
Mo Gui stared blankly at her. He wasn't that smart or insightful, but he had the keen intuition of a small animal, and he could tell that Nanmen Jue's emotions were a bit off.
She seemed...very sad.
Faced with her sorrow, Mo Gui couldn't even ask, "Do I still have a chance?"
"Why isn't it suitable?" Mo Gui asked, almost as if it were a strange impulse. "You two seem to get along very naturally."
Nanmen Jue said, "Is that so?"
“Yes,” Mo Gui recalled, suppressing the bittersweet heartache, “When the two of you were together, you had a great understanding of each other, a feeling that only the two of you understood each other, and no one else could get in.”
"I see," Nanmen Jue said.
Mo Gui was unsure of what she meant by her nonchalant attitude. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Jue, I guess I'm like a transparent object in your eyes. I won't hide anything. You know I like you, but I never expected you to like me back. I originally thought you were a star in the sky, shining brightly only in the eyes of us mortals. No one can get a star, but if someone can catch your eye... that's good too."
His voice became hoarse, but a smile appeared on his face. "I like you, so I hope you can be happy."
Nanmen Jue stared at him for a moment, until the smile on Mo Gui's face froze.
“Mo Gui, thank you,” Nanmen Jue said.
Even with the firelight reflecting off his face, Mo Gui's face was visibly burning.
"Jue, Sister Jue, I didn't..." he stammered.
Nanmen Jue stared at his flushed face, then glanced away at the vibrant flames, the pristine snow, the silent streets, and the distant lights of survivors.
Will she still be able to feel this way a few days from now?
"The snow is getting heavier, let's find another place to shelter from the snow," Mo Gui said.
“Okay,” Nanmen Jue replied.
...
Ying Yao and Mo Gui usually don't follow Nanmen Jue. When Nanmen Jue hasn't entered the world of reincarnation, they go about their own business. Once Nanmen Jue enters the world, they are automatically pulled in, and they rarely follow him in together.
Therefore, Nanmen Jue doesn't need to avoid anyone.
She sorted out all the items in the system space, which would automatically belong to Terra after she left the reincarnation space.
This person was the result of her careful selection. Originally, her first choice should have been Ying Yao, and her second choice should have been Mo Gui, but Nanmen Jue was not sure how these two people would react.
The tools she possesses are too numerous to entrust to a kind and righteous person before she can feel at ease.
Then she went to the studio, where two bodies were being made. One was almost finished, and the other was soaking in a huge incubation tank, with only a blurry, bloody outline visible.
Zhang Zhi, the doll, and the crow are all here.
It's dangerous for crows to enter the hall, but there's no other way at the moment; such a laboratory can't be set up in the real world.
Nanmen Jue stood in front of the culture tank, stared at the human-shaped figure inside for a while, and said, "Will I be able to see her one more time?"
The crow said, "If we succeed, you can see her anytime you want."
If they succeed, Nanmen Jue may no longer acknowledge Nanmen Yu.
If they fail, Nanmenjue's existence will be completely wiped out.
No matter how he calculated it, he couldn't come up with a good result, but Nanmen Jue smiled faintly.
"Please help me send He Ting's body there," Nanmen Jue said.
"Aren't you really going to see them? They all really want to see you, especially that Qin Yehan," said the crow.
"No need," Nanmen Jue said.
"Where are the others?"
"I've seen them all."
Wawa and Zhang Zhi stood silently to the side. Wawa's stiff face revealed no emotion, while Zhang Zhi's face was full of unease.
"Sister Nanmen, what are you going to do?" the little girl finally couldn't help but ask.
Nanmen Jue didn't tell anyone what she was going to do next.
She knelt down, looked into Zhang Zhi's eyes, and reached out to smooth her hair.
She had never done anything so tender before, and Zhang Zhi was a little stunned.
“I took you from your father, but I failed to protect you,” Nanmen Jue said gently.
Zhang Zhi shook her head vigorously, a sudden unease creeping into her heart. "No..."
“Fortunately, you can still have a complete life,” Nanmen Jue said, then she looked at the doll.
"What are you doing?" Yu Wanyan exploded. "Are you giving your last words here? I'm not listening!"
Nanmen Jue's gaze was far more complex than hers, but she remained silent, standing up and walking towards the crow. "How much longer until we can begin?"
"It will take about eight more hours for the energy to be fully gathered. Don't rush. The more energy you integrate, the stronger the anchor that holds you in your humanity will be," the crow said. "You don't need to be in such a hurry. You're much faster than I expected."
The crow was doing its best to prolong her time and reduce the risks, knowing how much Nanmen Jue wanted to see Nanmen Yu again.
If we wait a few more hours, perhaps we'll be able to make out the features of this humanoid figure...
Nanmen Jue didn't speak, but it was clear that she also wanted to hold on until that moment.
The doll hesitated before speaking, "Nanmen Jue, you wouldn't... really want to..."
Before she could finish speaking, the entire room suddenly shook violently.
Everyone fell silent.
This is the main hall of the God, how could an earthquake possibly occur here?
The next second, the space shook even more violently, and cracks began to appear in the culture tank. Nanmen Jue's expression changed drastically.
“It’s the Lord God! He found me here!” said the raven.
