"What's wrong with me?"
“……” Saya took another half step back.
A look of fear suddenly appeared on that pretty face filled with a gentle smile.
She saw that Su Lin, who was originally smiling, now had a blood-red glow in his eyes.
"Rin, your eyes..." She suddenly realized what the color meant.
Red eyes, soul clan.
Saya, who was still young, had no idea why Lin was a soul clan member.
"What's wrong?" Su Lin stretched out his white-gloved hand.
Facing the girl who seemed to be born to glow, he pulled the curtains to the side to block out the glaring sunlight and made a standard invitation gesture.
"Ms. Saya, live forever with me." He said, "You have already accepted my invitation."
Saya screamed and suddenly turned around and ran away.
The lights flickered on the stage, and the fleeing girl left a very long shadow behind her.
Su Lin looked puzzled.
"Miss Saya?" he called softly.
Saya ran out the door, her long blonde hair draped behind her, dazzling in the warm light.
Su Lin followed slowly, as if he had anticipated the ending.
"Ms. Saya, please walk slowly and be careful where you step." Su Lin's steps were neither hurried nor slow, but extremely fast.
The blood reflected in his eyes, and he followed the girl's steps all the way, pressing his hand gently on her shoulder.
He formed his fingers into claws and stabbed them into his own heart.
Golden liquid dripped from his fingertips, and he held Saya down gently, yet it seemed effortless, as if he was holding down a little white mouse.
The lights flickered.
Dark shadows swayed on the wall, and began to appear like a giant beast lurking in the night.
The breeze blew across the pages of the book spread out in the room. As the pages turned, a note by Su Lin was left on the title page:
【But still return to death. 】
[…But my fame will live on.]
…
"Vandilon's body is dead."
"But his soul seemed to be imprisoned by the world and could not ascend to heaven."
"He lived a life of melancholy, like a coelenterate living in simple physiological functions."
"The knight who rescued him found beautiful flowers and precious treasures for him, but he threw them away."
"In extreme despair and struggle, he wrote The Oracle."
"He imagined that his deceased self had ascended to heaven and coexisted with the gods, and that this body on earth was his messenger, to compose glory for the world."
"He writes the glory of his heavenly self and delivers oracles to his earthly body."
"His poetry will live forever."
"From then on, he saw the meaning of dormancy and suffering."
"His body is meant to pass on the light."
"He will return to death."
"But the glory of heaven will make his fame everlasting."
"But Van Dillon doesn't know..."
With a "click", Su Lin closed the book in his hand.
He faced Saya who was lying on the ground, and spoke extremely fanatically in an extremely gentle tone.
"The god is clearly dead."
"He who ascended to heaven, he who gained eternal life, he who is blessed by the world."
"I thought I heard someone's words, but in the end it was just a mortal body breathing."
"…illusions will not become reality."
"He was so desperate, so full of hope, so struggling, and yet so free." Su Lin said, pulling aside the curtains:
"…He is just an ordinary creature born to die."
"His foolish faith is worthless, and only fools in later generations will spread his false reputation."
He turned his head and looked at Saya who was slowly standing up.
"Do you understand how this story ends, Saya?"
Saya opened her eyes.
Those were a pair of blood-red eyes.
…
The memories end here.
In this scene, the last thing Su Mingan saw was Saya's eyes that seemed to have lost their souls.
It's just like Van Dillon in the story whose soul was imprisoned by this world.
【Eternal life is the most demanding shackle.】
This was a bloody record he saw in Su Lin's notes.
When he returned to his body and saw the familiar white walls of the Praia building, the blood-red Memory Stone in his hand shattered.
The blood dissipated before his eyes, and he felt a little heavy.
After reading this memory, he could draw a definite conclusion.
This Su Lin...
I really look at it forward, backward, and in a 360-degree spiral.
None of them are good people.
He tricked Saya into coming to the manor, transformed her, and changed her life.
Moreover, based on this memory, Su Lin had obviously been planning this for a long time, and even had further plans.
The story of Van Dillon told by Su Lin clearly reflects many things.
Su Mingan paused for a moment and took a step forward.
Su Lin's memories contain many things.
But at the moment, Su Mingan’s top priority is to go to the Soul Hunter camp to sign up.
“Ding Dong!”
The system prompt sounded.
[Access to "Su Lin"'s identity information, Su Lin's identity panel has been opened. 】
[Name: Su Lin

[The abilities related to "Su Lin" will be unlocked in the player's personal night game session "Demon King and Hero". ]
...what?
Su Mingan glanced at the system prompt and didn't understand what this person's night game session was about.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
