Chapter 136: "The Last God"
【Twenty minutes ago】
"Jasmine" kept struggling. She seemed to be extremely depressed and her tears kept flowing.
Seeing that she refused to cooperate, Su Mingan could only knock her out and go find Mayor Mitchell.
"Mayor." Su Mingan walked into the tea room holding the unconscious Jasmine and met the old man's cloudy eyes: "... No, Boli."
Paul Mitchell's body trembled slightly. He looked at the girl wrapped in a blood-red wedding dress. His pupils kept shaking, as if dusty memories were gradually being awakened.
"Bo Li... Mayor." Su Ming'an called his name slowly, and a sense of absurd karma and reincarnation arose in his heart: "Do you remember now? Your past when you were bewitched by this ghost?"
The white-haired old man turned around slowly.
Su Mingan saw a tear in his eye.
"Who am I?" Mitchell muttered, "I am...Berry?"
He walked forward slowly, as if wanting to touch the girl who seemed to be asleep, but his hand was suddenly withdrawn.
He looked at Jasmine, at her blood-colored wedding dress, and gazed at it slowly, as if he were looking at a treasure.
She is still young.
But he had already grown old... and even lost his faith unknowingly in his day-to-day life.
"...I remember now." He muttered to himself.
Su Mingan was very familiar with that tone. He had heard this person say this in his ear several times:
"——I am the wanderer Boli who is returning home from a long journey."
…
[Dawn Line·Perfect clearance progress 80%]
…
In the altered timeline, Boli possessed the memories of that single-player copy.
"I remember that day, I listened to Salina's words. I wanted to find the lost gods and imprison the innocent Jasmine—" Mitchell looked panicked: "But why did I still bring her with me? What... did I believe in? When did my beliefs... change...?"
Su Mingan put Jasmine aside, took out the dragon-headed cane and handed it to him.
Mitchell took it slowly, and his bark-wrinkled hands slowly stroked the cane, as if touching his lover's skin.
Su Mingan waited silently there, waiting for his next words.
"I..." Mitchell sighed slightly and looked at him: "Traveler from the outside world, I want to thank you for your help. You reminded me of my buried past - it turns out that after I locked Jasmine in the ancestral hall, I still failed Salina's expectations. I forgot about her and even forgot my own beliefs... I was bewitched by the ghost in Jasmine's body, and the whole town believed in an evil god..."
He held the dragon-headed cane in both hands, his eyes filled with eager anticipation:
"——Now, I will communicate with the gods and free Trili from the eternal curse."
Su Mingan didn't say anything.
He knew that the gods of Trili were long gone.
The dragon-headed cane in Mitchell's hand flashed, and then, as expected, nothing happened.
——No god will respond to him anymore.
He seemed a little lost, but his eyes were calm, as if he had already expected this outcome.
"So... that's how it is." Mitchell said, "I should have thought of it earlier. God will not forgive us, a group of children who have abandoned our faith, again and again."
"You don't have to worry too much." Su Ming'an said, "People die in this town every night. It's this ghost that's causing all the trouble. As long as the ghost is driven out, even without the protection of the gods in the future, Trili can still be freed from the curse - there's no need to talk about who to fight for, you are enough to save yourselves."
Mitchell glanced at him.
This look was extremely deep.
"I once thought about expelling the ghost." Mitchell said, "But it's useless... Even if we kill Jasmine, the ghost will still choose someone else to possess. We can only continue to lock Jasmine in the ancestral hall..."
"And then usher in the next reincarnation?" Su Mingan laughed softly.
...He felt sad for the self-deception of these townspeople.
The ghost will not die, it will gradually recover its strength.
Even if Jasmine is locked in the ancestral hall forever, the ghost will still continue to seduce the townspeople.
Even if Bori is awake now, his next [Mayor Mitchell] will still be bewitched, and then the process of today will be repeated.
——And by then, will they welcome a new batch of travelers?
Su Mingan had done his best to this point, but he still couldn't save these people. If he continued to lock Jasmine in the ancestral hall forever, waiting for the ghost to bewitch her - what difference would the situation be from before he arrived?
"We have no way." Mitchell shook his head: "The ghost is immortal, we can't drive it away..."
Su Ming'an had searched all over Terri, but he hadn't found any other clues.
According to the progress of the mission, he is almost done. As long as he drags Jasmine to the square to expose the ghost's true identity, his mission will be successfully completed.
There was no need for him to meddle in Terry's affairs anymore. With both the camp and the special mission going well, his world copy this time went quite perfectly.
He didn't need to do anything else.
He turned his head and looked at the girl lying on the sofa with a relaxed brow.
She seemed to have fallen asleep, and her expression was very relaxed, which was much better than the time he had seen her before, leaning against the coffin and crying silently.
In an instant, he remembered the girl's sparkling eyes at dawn, and the bright golden color in her pupils was so beautiful.
