Su Mingan watched her walk out step by step. The cold wind blew her black hair. Although she was very young, a few white strands were already faintly visible.
The old world's principle has always been that you get what you pay for. No matter how powerful a "ghost" is, there are things it fears.
——It is afraid of itself.
The props provided by the safe house were originally made of its own flesh and blood. Xiao Li was its true self, and her blood and flesh had the greatest suppressive effect on it.
Just as there can be three Su Wenshengs in one place at the same time, under the tower's retrospective cause and effect, two Xiao Li can also exist here at the same time.
The "ghost" retreated step by step, making a hoarse cry.
"——Xiao Li." Su Mingan shouted.
Xiao Li stopped, her hands holding Su Mingan's amber knife. The long blade was almost taller than her, and the blood dyed the blade vermilion.
The candlelight shone on her face, and her immature cheeks were dyed solemn and calm. If she had more years, if her time had not stopped, perhaps she could really grow into an outstanding person.
"——What will happen if the timeline is not converged?" Su Mingan said.
[The rescued Xiao Li] killing [the unrescued Xiao Li] is an act of converging the timeline. Because neither of them should live in this world, when both of them disappear, the cause and effect will be normal. Therefore, what Xiao Li has to do now is to erase the ghost, and also erase herself at the same time.
Xiao Li clenched the knife, stared into the distance, and spoke softly:
“Some points of destiny cannot be changed.”
"We may make many decisions in our lives, such as whether to have breakfast today, how many glasses of water to drink today, or whether to eat one more tomato, but most of these decisions are meaningless. No matter how many times we change these decisions, they will not affect our outcomes."
"Only some key decisions will lead to different outcomes. For example, if you choose to go swimming and end up drowning by accident, then no matter how many different decisions you make beforehand—whether to have breakfast or how many tomatoes you eat—it will not change the outcome of drowning. The only decisions that can change the outcome are those related to swimming."
"As long as the key decision remains the same, no matter how the previous changes are made, the timeline will converge and reach the same ending."
"It's just like the chemistry experiment that Xiaowen taught me - every action we take can fork a timeline. For example, if you add different kinds of wood to a box, it will still be wood. No new substances will be produced. No matter how many times you add it, it will still be wood. But if you add chemical substances into it and a new chemical reaction occurs, then real changes will occur."
"That is to say, even if you want me to live, at this critical time point, I must erase all traces of the 'ghost''s existence, and I will also be erased at the same time. Because 'we' are beings who should not be alive now."
"I'm sorry, but I can't leave here."
Because that's fate.
Her small body stood in front of Su Mingan as she walked towards the ghost step by step. Blood dripped onto the ground, blooming into bright red flowers.
——“Girl”.
Her shadow dragged on the ground, shining through the light in Su Mingan's eyes.
——What is the fate of the "girl"? Will she die in the operating room with reluctance, will she perish here with the ghost in despair, will she miss the promise with the young boy Su Wensheng, or will she stay in the past nine years forever?
No matter what, her future had been cut off nine years ago. No matter how hard she struggled, no matter how she tried to go back, her death was inevitable, like a butterfly suffocating in a jar.
Su Mingan reached out and held her shaking arm. She was too weak and the amber knife was about to crush her.
"I am a qualified person, and qualified people should benefit mankind." Every word in her diary was eye-catching.
"Before my parents passed away, you saved me from domestic violence, and we agreed to grow up together."
"If a man cries so much, how will he save other children in the future?"
"If someone really comes to rescue you, you must come back and destroy this place later."
--I'm back.
Even though he was not the real Su Wensheng, he was back. He came back with a heart full of boiling blood and a heart that was not yet cold.
The girl's hair fluttered in the wind, and there were faint sword calluses on her hands. Su Mingan held her hand tightly.
"Please, help me." Xiao Li's voice was very soft:
"I can't get close to the ghost with my strength. You help me get close to it, and using my blood, you can kill it."
"Don't be sad. My death is a thing of the past. Even if you insist on saving me, more people will die because of me, and that's what I don't want to see. Now that the tower has allowed everyone to witness this history, similar situations will be reduced in the future - that's what I want to see."
"Can you help me?"
Su Mingan held her hand steadily.
Just as he respected the death of the Knight of Light back then, he also respected Xiao Li's choice today.
The moment he held her hand, he saw many memories.
——Back then, after the family that adopted Xiao Li died, a new family soon adopted Xiao Li. They took advantage of her and treated her like a nanny. Until they got injured accidentally, Xiao Li couldn't bear to see them die, so she fed them her blood.
From that moment on - the nightmare began.
Out of kindness, she revealed her identity as a qualified person, and after the family recovered from her illness, they immediately sold her to the research institute.
