The sea was too rough, and the lifeboat had begun to sink and float, so the only thing he could do was to reduce the weight. He cut off the shadow state, at least his mental state would be better.
The girl lay in the narrow lifeboat, her wet hair looking like a stranded fish.
‘Cut my hair,’ said Alice.
Su Mingan cut her black hair to shoulder length. Hair does absorb a lot of water, but it was far from helping.
‘More,’ said Alice.
"It's useless. Hair doesn't take up that much space." Su Mingan said.
"Let's cut it... your hair is too long, it's not convenient for you to run away." Alice insisted. Su Mingan continued to cut until her hair reached her ears. The hair she had grown for more than ten years was just floating in the sea.
Even so, the lifeboat continued to sink.
With a "plop", Su Mingan had no choice but to jump into the sea. In an instant, the cold sea water made his whole body shiver.
"You lie down, I'll float behind you." Su Ming'an held the lifeboat lightly. He had the defense of his equipment all over his body, so at least he wouldn't be blown away by the waves.
Alice asked them to take turns in the water. She was now away from the priests, and her five senses were gradually recovering, so she could hold on for a while.
The time at sea seemed very long, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. They all knew one thing very well - every four hours, the Order would be forced to sleep for one hour, which meant that the person floating on the sea would drown.
Alice was floating on the sea, and her arms were bleeding from the long-term posture. There was nothing in her ears except the sound of waves, it was so quiet that it made her feel dizzy.
"Alice, it's my turn." Su Ming'an was very calm.
“……”Alice lowered her head.
She knew that she could only let Su Ming'an drown, as Su Ming'an still had a clone. This was the most rational choice.
Her fingers loosened and gradually lost strength, blood floated on the sea, and a few ominous red strands floated in the silent blue.
His throat was also extremely hoarse, and he just took her hand and pulled her up.
The moment he jumped into the sea, Su Mingan was very calm. Drowning takes a longer time than other ways of death, but it won't be too painful after falling into a coma.
When two o'clock arrived, Su Mingan slowly closed his eyes.
…
When Su Mingan opened his eyes again, he was lying on the wet beach. He didn't know what longitude and latitude he was at. It was clearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and the moon was already high in the sky. The black cat squatted beside him, licking his face.
The lifeboat seemed to have run aground, washing him unconscious onto the beach.
His whole body ached, but he found Alice lying next to him. The waves rose and fell on their bodies, and her arms and thighs were full of holes, pulling at the bloody flesh.
"I won't let you die." Alice tilted her head, her eyelashes still falling into the water.
The moonlight shone on them, and her eyes were bloodshot.
She said that when a big wave hit, they all lay here. Su Mingan couldn't believe this luck. But he asked Ah Du, and Ah Du said that Alice didn't lie, and they were indeed washed ashore miraculously. He could only hide his doubts in his heart.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I still want to become a goddess. Because an ordinary girl simply can't survive." Alice said while lying down.
Su Mingan raised his hand and watched the broadcast on his watch. The flames of war in Baoting City were burning, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the scene was tragic. He closed his eyes and didn't think about anything for a while, just lying quietly.
……goddess.
...Alice.
The watch dinged, and Noel told him that it was time to go to the Vatican. Noel had already made a backup plan in the Vatican.
"Are we going to leave the sea?" said Alice.
"Well, let's leave." Su Mingan sat up.
Her expression was very sad. Perhaps this fate was not worth cherishing for her. But her eyes were filled with longing - as if she was looking towards another distant era.
Just like a person deep in the thorns, yearning for a light in the depths of darkness.
——That is the distant future, a future with a happy ending where all the protagonists are happy.
——And that future still requires them to walk towards it.
Their eyes overlapped for a moment, Alice's pupils were still beautiful purple. Then she burst into laughter, and her laughter permeated into the waves. For a moment, there was only the rustling sound in Su Mingan's ears. Her laughter was gone, and the sound of the sea was gone. Her eyebrows were curved, like the sound of the wind in nature kissing him.
"Then...will we meet at the end?"
Her voice also sounded like the wind.
——I will burn everything I have to light the way for your future.
——Even if I am not the most important person to you, I am not the one you care about most.
——But I still pray, and hope with all my heart, that you can live a hundred years, and that you can live a long life...for all eternity, forever and ever.
"Let's go." Su Mingan said.
Amid the sound of low wind and high tide, two figures on the beach slowly stood up.
“Crack, crack.”
Just like the snowy night when they first met, the detective held the little girl's hand and walked step by step through the snowy streets.
"Boom boom, boom boom."
The rain slid down and grazed their boots until it dissolved into the sand.
"After you become a goddess, no one will stand by your side, no one will accompany you." Su Mingan said.
"Um."
"You can't talk, you can't confide, you can't trust. Because anyone can harm you."
"Um."
"Once you embark on this path, you can never turn back. Even if you do, you will be crushed by the weight of the world and your own guilt."
