Chapter 128 Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six · "My dear child, Boli."
【Five minutes ago】
After Su Ming'an put on [Wang Han's human skin mask], he walked towards the mayor's house in his memory.
He expected the situation to be difficult.
...In order to protect the good players who stayed behind, he needed to seek help from the NPC.
He approached the mayor's house, which had a high wall and a heavy wooden door. He walked forward and the door in front of him suddenly opened.
“Squeak—”
A somewhat dull voice was heard, and the kind-looking mayor, leaning on his dragon-headed cane, looked at him with a smile.
"Ah..." The mayor smiled so hard that his wrinkles were squeezed into a ball. He looked kind and amiable, like a parent who cares about his children: "You are finally here."
…
"...My dear child, Boli."
…
Su Mingan was slightly stunned.
He suddenly heard a system prompt:
[Because you are wearing a special item (Wang Han's human skin mask), the NPC recognizes your identity. ]
[NPC (Mayor of Mitchell Trelly Town) has identified you as (the deceased son of Paul Mitchell)]
[Current Mitchell Favorability: 80 points (Family)]
…
"Ah." Su Mingan followed his words: "I'm back."
As early as the first day, when the mayor saw his doppelganger, he said that he looked like his deceased child Boli.
After hearing his response, the mayor's smile became even more intense. He tremblingly stretched out his hand to help Su Ming'an. Su Ming'an could only accompany him to play this "kind father and filial son" scene and cross the threshold together.
He felt his face getting a little wet.
…It’s raining again.
The door behind him slammed shut with a bang, bringing with it a strange chill in the spring. Through the sudden rain, he saw two red lanterns hanging on the door in front of the house swaying in the heavy rain, with a scarlet light in the haze, like a pair of wild animal eyes.
The mayor's somewhat resentful voice came from beside me:
"You're finally back... Boli, I've been waiting for you for a long time, so long that I almost forgot when you left..."
Su Mingan couldn't guess why Boli left, so he kept silent. But combined with the word "early death", the real Boli might have died on the way out.
"When you were about to leave, I advised you that the Lord God would not forgive a child who betrayed you. The journey is long and you have to cross mountains and rivers. It is too hard for you. However, now that you are back... then everything is fine. Take a rest first, and I will take you to the Lord God to atone for your sins..."
Listening to the mayor's next words, Su Mingan vaguely understood the reason why Boli left.
He began tentatively: "I travel far to find the faith in my heart."
He saw the mayor suddenly cast a look at him, which was somewhat frozen through the fine raindrops.
"…Did you find it?" asked the mayor.
The two of them stopped in front of the door.
The red lantern swayed slightly, revealing a strange light, like a pair of ghostly, werewolf eyes.
Su Mingan supported the old man and helped him climb the stairs.
"...No, so I came back," he said.
Mitchell's smile seemed more genuine. He reached out and knocked gently on the door.
“Squeak—”
The girl with pigtails pushed open the door, and when her beautiful big eyes looked over, their eyes were as clear as the sea, sky or lake.
...Jasmine.
Su Mingan was not surprised to see her.
The rustic Jasmine in front of me...the Jasmine in the red wedding dress at night, the two Jasmines, what exactly are they?
"Dad, this is..." Jasmine's eyes paused on Su Mingan for a moment.
"I told you, my child, Boli." Mitchell responded with a smile: "When he left home, you hadn't come here yet, and I didn't expect that I would see him again one day..."
Su Mingan understood what the mayor meant - Jasmine might not be his biological daughter, but an adopted daughter.
"Hello... come in first." Jasmine nodded at him reservedly, opened the door and let Su Mingan in.
Su Mingan walked in cautiously. He had guessed that this mission was dangerous. He was always wary of the girl with the "sin" in the system prompt.
When he entered, he smelled a faint scent of incense burning in the room.
White mist was wafting out of the stove. He sat down at the table and saw the two tablets placed beside him.
A teacup was placed in front of him, with tea leaves floating in the water.
"Boli, now that you've come back..." The mayor seemed to be about to start another long speech.
Su Mingan remembered his purpose and spoke first: "Mayor."
He met the other person's eyes, which looked somewhat gloomy in the mist of tea.
He instantly changed his words: "...Father."
The mayor's expression relaxed.
Su Mingan suddenly realized that perhaps the mayor did not completely regard him as his child Boli.
When he showed the slightest intention of deviating, the other person's eyes suddenly became so gloomy that it frightened him.
Mayor Mitchell, like a person immersed in his own fantasy, wandering in an illusion that is on the verge of breaking. The mayor seems to be hypnotizing himself, forcing himself to identify with this "returning child".
Su Mingan probably knew how he should speak.
"Father." Su Ming'an called out this unfamiliar word to him: "During this trip, I met many travelers from the outside world."
The mayor listened attentively, and Jasmine beside him remained silent.
"They helped me a lot, and some of them saved my life." Su Ming'an touched the teacup and paid attention to the other party's expression: "They have been persuading me to return home. They said that conflicts are only temporary, but family love is eternal. I was too naive to leave in anger at that time..."
