"I know."
The raindrops fell obliquely on their shoulders like light white snow.
And he kept holding her hands tightly as she lowered her shoulders.
When Su Mingan arrived at the Holy See, thousands of knights and priests stood in the square. When Su Mingan walked in, everyone looked at him.
The spirit walked down from the high platform, bathed in white light. Mizushima Kawaseong and Bluebird followed on the left and right. On the roof of the church, several figures stood in a staggered manner. They were Noel and others.
It seemed as if everyone had gathered here, waiting for the sound of the fateful bell.
And Su Mingan raised his head high——
On top of the platform is a dark stone wall of prophecy.
——That was what he wanted to break on this trip.
He once again checked the [Immortal Talisman: Expansion] in his backpack, held Alice's hand, and walked into this pure white holy land.
Su Mingan's eyes met the spirit's. They spoke at the same time, and it was almost impossible to distinguish each other's voices:
“——That’s it.”
“——It’s not over yet.”
…
Su Mingan began to try to go back.
In the first round, he rushed directly to the prophecy stone wall, trying to break it violently, but all the believers desperately blocked his way. The moment he successfully broke the prophecy stone wall, his health dropped to zero.
In the second round, he negotiated with the gods. The gods agreed, but they took the opportunity to trap him. Fortunately, the bomb he had buried in his body exploded, and he successfully returned to the game.
In the third week, he asked Mizushima Kawaseong to form an alliance, but she did not agree. So he chose to take Alice away from here. On the way, Alice died of weakness. With a high fever and her soul leaving her body, she could not hold on for long.
Before she died, she held his hand tightly and repeatedly told him not to be sad and that it was not his fault.
In the fourth episode, Su Mingan did not go to the Holy Church, but turned back to look for Li Mingyue. The church in Daoya City was empty, and even Xiao Jingsan and Chaoyan could not be contacted. He stood in the silent city, carrying Alice, who had a high fever, on his back. The sky was foggy and pressed down on his head. He had the urge to fall down.
“…”
He took Alice to a family clinic, but the doctors avoided him, fearing that they would be implicated by this "goddess abandoned by God". Only Lu Shu who stayed in Daoya City could help take care of Alice.
"What are you doing now? I feel like you are in pain." Lu Shu asked confusedly.
Su Mingan looked at the foggy sky outside the window: "Destiny Simulator."
...What's the difference between his repeated replaying and playing Destiny Simulator? They are both attempts to get a good ending between different rounds.
Alice eventually died.
The spirit must have wanted to force Su Mingan to use Xiao Su to go back to the game, so the spirit remotely crushed Alice's soul mark. Her death was so sudden that Su Mingan was still covering herself with a blanket one second, and her breath disappeared the next.
Su Ming'an felt dizzy and looked at Alice's body. He stood there silently and looked at himself in the mirror.
He touched the mirror with his fingers and felt his face vaguely. He could not see his features clearly. Did he have white hair or black hair? Where did the barrage in the live broadcast room go?
In the fifth week, Su Mingan and Alice lay side by side on the beach. This time, he did not hold her hand and leave. Because they had nowhere to go.
The waves kept covering their bodies, like caressing two cold and wet corpses. Su Mingan closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, but suddenly he felt a shadow appear above his head.
"…How many times has this happened?" asked the owner of the shadow.
Su Mingan opened his eyes instantly - he was sure that it was his own flashback that was triggered, because the spirits did not ambush him in advance, and it was not like it triggered Xiao Su's flashback. So, this person asked this...
"...The first time." Su Mingan replied.
In everyone's eyes, this was only his first round, and Xiao Su's rollback had not been triggered. No one knew how many times he had really died.
Su Mingan saw clearly who it was—it was Su Wensheng.
Su Wensheng stood beside him, casting a shadow. In the five rounds, this was the first time Su Mingan saw Su Wensheng at the beach. Maybe Su Wensheng had been following him before.
"Really? Is it the first time?" Su Wensheng pinched his chin. "I will indeed keep your memories of going back, but these memories will not be very clear. I will only vaguely know that you have gone back. Now I do feel that you have not gone back, but... you look very tired. But you said, is it the first time?"
"...Well, the first time." Su Mingan said.
"But I feel like you're in a difficult situation to sustain." Su Wensheng said, "Let me show you a way. If the Holy Church doesn't work, go seek help from the Black Magpie of Huo Mulier."
——Black magpie.
Su Mingan had heard of this name. He was a king who possessed the "Sword of Destiny", one of the three elements for becoming a god.
"Why help me?" Su Mingan said.
It was obvious that Su Wensheng's previous position was to make Su Ming'an surrender to the gods.
"Because the world is merging with each other, 'I' am also changing. I gradually developed the desire to help you." Su Wensheng squatted down, his expression gentle for the first time.
"I don't quite understand." Su Mingan said.
Su Wensheng whispered in his ear: "[The opening of the tower will gradually bring the world together and merge, and similar origins will gradually influence each other. Therefore, the kind 'Su Wensheng Original' in other worlds will affect the temperament of me, the evil 'Su Wensheng Original'. You can understand it this way.]"
Su Mingan's pupils dilated instantly.
...That's right.
...So that's how it is.
...He thought of dozens of possibilities, but the only possibility he had not thought of was "the world closing."
"This is the deepest secret. I have an agreement with the gods. If I tell you this, I will die for leaking the secret. So, please save me next time." Su Wensheng continued to whisper in my ear, blood already flowing from his mouth.
"Even if I trigger Xiao Su's return, the gods know that you told me these, and you will still die..." Su Mingan said.
Su Wensheng shook his index finger.
His black earrings reflected the light, looking particularly dazzling.
"It's not Xiao Su's return."
...If it’s not Xiao Su’s return, then what is it?
Su Mingan looked into the other person's eyes, and in those almost identical black pupils, he saw himself reflected in Su Wensheng's eyes. They were actually very similar people, including their thinking patterns.
People with very similar thinking patterns——
Maybe I can understand Su Mingan’s situation.
Su Mingan instantly understood what Su Wensheng meant - if it wasn't Xiao Su's return, then whose return could it be?
Without further words, he immediately stabbed his finger to his temple.
At the end of his death, he heard Su Wensheng's clear laughter, as clear as the sky.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"You will be the kindest 'you'..."
"You will become the most evil 'you'..."
