"Who is this?"
This was the first reaction of Bluebird and others.
"Jiang...Xiao...Shan?" Su Mingan dug out this name from his memory.
A student in the church, someone who seemed to have nothing to do with the word "protagonist". If she wasn't a good friend of Tao Meng who jumped off the building, Su Mingan would have a hard time remembering her.
Mizushima Kawase thought she was going to grab the knife, but unexpectedly Jiang Xiaoshan ran straight into the black knife.
The black knife pierced her body and she began to show symptoms of the Black Mist Disease.
"Didn't you say that this heavy rain of special medicine would exacerbate the black fog disease?" Jiang Xiaoshan said calmly, "It seems to be caused by your weapon. I was in the rain for so long, and it was only when I bumped into the knife that I got hurt."
Mizushima Kawanasora took back the black knife. She neither admitted nor denied it. She didn't bother to stigmatize Su Mingan.
Jiang Xiaoshan's skin was covered in black, and she looked extremely scary. People had always been avoiding the Black Mist Disease, but she actually dared to run into it head-on, just to... demonstrate.
Jiang Xiaoshan whispered to him, "Shh... I'm a different species. Even if I get the black fog disease, nothing will happen to me."
Su Mingan looked at her.
"Brother Wen Sheng... although you are no longer Brother Wen Sheng, according to Brother Wen Sheng's wish before he left, I will also... protect you. Even though I am very small and cannot beat them, I... can at least stand in front of you." she said.
During the moment when Jiang Xiaoshan was blocking him, a fire appeared in the distance - it was Chao Yan's beautiful and powerful figure.
Su Mingan felt sleepy - the four hours of free movement as an "orderer" was about to end, and he was about to face an hour of deep sleep.
He saw the scene around him begin to flow - as if time was about to jump forward.
"I'm here, don't be afraid." Chao Yan's soft and gentle voice came to his ears: "This rain has brought back about fifty years of history. Many people remembered their past. Time will also begin to speed up until it becomes equal to the speed of real time."
Su Mingan could understand what Chao Yan meant.
The "Tower" reverses the flow of time and brings the past to the present.
"Rain" makes time leap forward and brings the present to the future.
Just like the time jump of "Kaiusta", this node has ended and time will pass faster. The longer this rain lasts, the faster time passes in people's perception.
The gods cover up the past and the future by covering up people's cognition. But when the special medicine awakens people's cognition, the past and the future will return. The "past", "present" and "future" of this world have always been on the same plane, just like Alice in the Steam Age grew up with him, and Zou Yuqing in the Louyue Age could become his ally. What separates them is only the edge of the world.
"Chao...Yan." he said.
"Um."
Asagao protected him behind him. He had no strength left, and Mizushima Kawai's treatment only maintained the minimum level of survival.
"Do you want me to help you rewind?" Chao Yan's voice was very soft.
“Please…”
Although he knew that it would be difficult to change anything if he went back, and the most likely thing would be a repetition. After all, the gods were blocking his return point, and there was no way to do anything. But at least... he had to try.
"Okay." Chao Yan nodded.
She was like a safe wall, standing in front of Mizushima Kawai.
Mizushima Kawano feels in trouble. Chao Yan can help Su Mingan recover. In this case...
All will be in vain.
Everything will start over again.
"Lord God, what should we do now..." Mizushima Kawaseong looked at the God, wanting to see what the God would do.
——She saw the exceptionally calm look in the god’s eyes.
It was as if… He had always seen every possible outcome. This look made her whole body cold and she felt inexplicably terrified.
Su Mingan closed his eyes. Chao Yan's embrace was safe and warm. Her hand was on his forehead, probably wanting to burn through his brain in an instant so that it wouldn't be too painful.
...So what should he do in the next week? How should he avoid a repeat of this situation? Should he stay in the eleventh week for a little longer, or...
The raindrops fell on his cheeks and slid down slowly.
——He felt a pain in his forehead.
Yes...it should be painful, after all, it's the pain of burning through the brain. He had also tried being burned to death, so it was nothing new. Compared to being beheaded, it was much faster.
but.
Why... couldn't he feel... any... heat? How about the heat of the flames?
Intense pain penetrated from his forehead, piercing through him like lightning, and flowed densely throughout his body. It was a kind of... extremely strong feeling, as if his entire body was being crushed alive, and his soul was being ravaged alive - extreme, intense, and excruciating pain that he found unbearable.
“——!”
His lips opened subconsciously, but no sound came out, and his throat was full of blood that was squeezed out.
His eyes opened unconsciously, and he saw a look of struggle and confusion on Asagao's face, which was so close to him.
In her hand, she held a holy, pure white, beautiful sword. The hilt was engraved with angelic carvings, and the blade shone with a sharp, bright halo that pierced his bloodshot eyes. This was the same holy sword that Mizushima Kawase held.
——The holy sword bestowed by the gods.
——The holy sword that Mizushima Kawaiso failed to stab out was pierced into his forehead by Asagao.
She did not help him to recover, on the contrary, she did the most desperate thing for him - she used the holy sword to shatter his mental defenses and his sanity.
This sword cut off all his routes of retreat and ended his possibility of turning back.
