The chief's voice stopped.
"Yeah." Su Ming'an looked into his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work... Feng Chang Ze Wan."
After hearing this, Siberia gradually regained consciousness.
"...Su Mingan?" she said softly, her voice barely audible.
"Yeah, are you awake?" Su Mingan tilted his head and responded to her.
"...Su Mingan?" As if afraid of disturbing something, she called out again.
"Um."
"...Do you still remember me? I...didn't start over?" Her voice began to tremble.
When meeting her gaze, Su Mingan's eyes were very calm.
"Of course." He said, "I signed a contract with you that I will never regret. I said I will win with you to the end."
He said, "If I break my promise, you will break my limbs and lock me in the basement."
He said, “…I will not break my promise.”
Siberia's tears welled up in her eyes.
Like a warm breeze blowing across the barren grassland in her heart, her cold and lonely soul felt such strong warmth for the first time.
Children who have never been loved will show their emotions too obviously.
She once thought that she would only reap eternal loneliness, cruelty and desolation.
…Finally she found a candy.
…by the long river of time, among the pebbles on the river bank…she found her sugar.
She turned her head and saw Feng Chang standing under a barrier.
He was covered by a hood-like barrier, isolated from the outside world. Her appearance was reflected in his somewhat distracted eyes, which were filled with mud.
On his head, he wore a sacrificial crown with a bright red ribbon.
Years ago, when the old custom of lava sacrifice still existed, the victims who jumped into the lava had to wear such a crown during the ceremony.
And at this moment, he was wearing such a bright red crown on his head.
The twisting and spreading black lines of the curse had already covered his entire body. He stood under the isolation barrier like a twisted monster, staring at her.
…
[“Adventurer, don’t think that you can ignore the curse just because you are the ‘strongest’ adventurer—even if you are the strongest guide among us, you will die if the curse takes effect.”]
【“Death is fair to everyone.”】
…
This is what Siber said to Su Ming'an on the first day.
…But death is never fair.
To her, to him, to everyone,
Never,
fundamental,
It's just not fair.
"Captain Feng, what are you hiding in there for? Come out." She said, "It's so hard to finally talk it out... Why don't you give me a hug?"
Commander Feng said nothing.
He reached out his hand, passed through the barrier in front of him, grabbed her hand, and pulled her forward a few steps.
He pulled her hand from her left shoulder to the back of his neck.
He didn't hug her. He was covered in mud and blood. How could he contaminate her?
She was now as clean as a newborn. She was free from the control of the tentacles and he could no longer drag her into the abyss.
They are blood relatives.
For countless misunderstandings, countless truths that could not be told, countless cruel tragedies... he wanted to make it up to her once.
…even though it was too late.
A dark energy spread from her arm and poured into his scarred body.
Her body, which still had some cursed aura, was completely purified, and a black line flowed into the back of his neck.
"Let go, Feng Qiqi." She said, "I forgive you."
He stared at her, regret and struggle in his eyes.
…It’s too late.
…The misunderstanding was not resolved until the very end, and the apology was not expressed until the very end.
It's too late.
People used to repeat various sacrificial activities day after day.
They performed blood sacrifices, slaughtered livestock, hunted people, and pushed children into the lava, believing that in this way, their "piety" would be heard by the gods and the day would come.
These cruel and meaningless acts become extremely "orthodox" here.
Feng Chang initially did not approve of these actions because he was the direct victim.
But after leaving the burning forest and taking over the position of young patriarch, he gradually saw the full picture of this world.
…Faith stubbornly rules, and heresy is not tolerated.
...Curses and natural disasters are everywhere, and humans are struggling to survive amidst the malice.
...The evil god is cruel and regards humans as pigs and dogs, playing with all living beings in the palm of his hand.
It's so difficult, so difficult for people to survive.
In order to make good use of this double-edged sword called "faith" that allows people to survive, he must integrate into the cruel rituals, obey the absurd oracles, and allow the current stable situation to continue.
...What he needs to do is to kill the source of faith in the evil god.
In order to save his sister, he set a fire in the tribe, and because of that fire, he wanted to kill his sister whom he had saved with his own hands.
Fate is always a disgusting thing.
He considers himself a fool.
...He had been confused between ignorance and clarity for a long time, and now he finally found the answer.
As the most sober person, he must dance with stupidity, keep company with ignorance, maintain theocracy with meaningless rituals, and deceive people with absurd oracles.
——To obtain the sword and knife that are made of people’s faith.
"Siber, when Su Ming'an becomes one of the Hundred Gods and overthrows the black wall... I hope you will let go of everything." Feng Chang said: "No one or God... can force you anymore."
"It is the mean ones who indulge in peace," said Siberia.
"It's not about indulging." Feng Chang said, "You were born to be peaceful."
