She looked over with admiration in her eyes. “Bo Li, this time it’s all thanks to you. If you hadn’t stopped the ghost in time and prevented it from leaving before absorbing Jasmine’s soul, my potion wouldn’t have been able to hit this guy—this time, it must have been seriously injured.”
Su Mingan didn't say anything.
He is thinking about something.
“Bo Li, maybe you haven’t noticed yet, but this ancestral hall has long been contaminated by the breath of that ghost.” Salina’s breath was a little uneven: “If I stay here all the time, even I will be contaminated. After you deal with Jasmine’s affairs, seal this place as soon as possible. The ancestral hall—it’s best to make it a forbidden area in the future.”
"How to deal with it?" Su Mingan didn't know how to deal with this girl.
Salina turned around and looked at him.
"Jasmine has become the home of ghosts. Ghosts cannot be killed, and can only recover in Jasmine's body. If you want to trap them, the only way is to trap Jasmine."
Su Mingan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He seemed to sense a connection between the previous and next timelines.
"Jasmine is actually dead. If she wasn't dead, the ghost wouldn't be trapped in her body and unable to continue absorbing vitality." Salina said: "If you want Terry to continue to exist, the best way is..."
She opened her cracked lips and uttered words with a light tone but extremely cruel meaning.
【——Lock up Jasmine. 】
【Lock her up in this ancestral hall.】
[Forever, forever, locked up here without seeing the sun - to achieve a "big picture" where all the townspeople can survive. ]
…
After Salina left, the wind and snow gradually stopped.
"Um……"
In the ancestral hall, a young girl's weak voice was heard from the side. Su Mingan, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head and saw Jasmine covering her head and opening her eyes.
He saw a pure blue ocean in her eyes.
"What's wrong with me..." She was a little confused. She looked at the green liquid flowing on her body, then looked at Su Mingan who was staring at her. She called out softly with some timidity and some surprise:
"God...sir?"
"I am not your god. God is dead." Su Ming'an said.
Jasmine shrank slightly. She didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, but she knew that the man in front of her had appeared in the ancestral hall on her wedding night and he had saved her.
My father said that the gods have extremely powerful powers and can easily save anyone.
Her father also said that the gods would appear in the ancestral temple that night and take her away to live a happy life.
The being before him was exactly the same as the god his father had described.
She married a god.
She didn't see anyone except the person in front of her.
——Then he is the god that she wants to marry.
Jasmine thought so.
Su Mingan looked at the girl with a pious face.
He saw through her - she was a superstitious person whose beliefs were forced upon her by her father Mitchell.
She didn't know what to believe in, nor how to love someone. She just did it because her father said so, and she always believed that his words were right.
Because of her innocence, she is frighteningly stubborn.
Su Mingan looked at the pure and bright eyes of the person in front of him, and remembered what Salina said before she left:
[Bo Li - You need to keep her steady. Jasmine cannot die, nor can she leave this ancestral hall.]
[She is no longer an ordinary girl. She doesn’t need food or water and can survive in a coffin. But she can commit suicide.]
[Once she dies, the ghost will look for another, still living body, absorb the souls of others, restore its power, and continue to be its god. It will decree that Trili will be in eternal fear.]
[Jasmine cannot die. Even if she has to live as a ghost, she must live.]
[What you need to do is to give her hope and prevent her from committing suicide. ]
[After dealing with her, seal off the ancestral hall and do not allow anyone to enter. You need to take away the dragon-headed cane and become the next mayor of Trili to find back the true god we have lost.]
[As a witch, I am already old, so old that my hair is all white.]
[Even the familiar smell of medicine gradually faded from my perception...]
[Perhaps because of my devout faith, I will be lucky enough to leave behind a spirit that can continue to protect Triri, just like the other great people in Triri.]
[I know that entrusting everything to you, a person who just returned home, is too heavy. ]
[But, please——accept this responsibility. ]
[The gods once told me that twelve travelers would come to save us and change our fate...]
Please hold on until then, and then,
[Free Trili from eternal curse. 】
…
Su Mingan looked at the girl.
She was looking at him, with desire for love and reverence for God in her eyes.
Jasmine seemed to want to speak, and her face gradually turned red with girlish shyness. Her fingers were tugging at her tattered wedding dress, and her golden jewelry was dazzling.
Su Mingan remembered what Salina said.
…
【Give her hope, keep her alive】
[——Even if, just like a ghost, alone in the ancestral hall, never seeing the sun, until it completely rots].
…
[——Being locked up here forever, alive. ]
…
This is the most important and cruelest thing he has to do.
He thought of Jasmine in the future timeline, who was wearing a blood-red wedding dress and lying in the coffin in the ancestral hall.
