Chapter 687 BE20: "Second Death"



The wheelchair sped along, half of the girl's face was bathed in the hazy light, her fluttering hair looked like a flowing Milky Way, and the blood in her eyes rose little by little.

"You are the princess in the fairy tale standing in the light..."

She was still singing, with her head raised high, revealing her slender neck covered with burns.

He once asked her what her biggest gain was in her growth, and she answered without hesitation that it was that she could play games with him in the future.

Even if we have to travel such a long way, wade through such a deep river, and endure so much hardship just to play games together, this is enough.

That's enough.

S-level luck is enough.

In this long and distant life, she saw him desperately trying to save those children who were once him and her. Facing the darkness, stepping into the night, never looking back.

She was lucky enough to have been with him for so long.

"Wow——" A ray of bright light slowly turned across the sky. It was the brightness of the projection lights on the distant buildings. It was like a clear dawn slowly spreading from the deep night, and the darkness was like a receding tide.

"I put on a gorgeous mask and hid in a black dress,"

"Please dance with me before the fairy tale ends..."

At this moment, she raised her hands high, just like the midsummer of the graduation party that year. She took off her gorgeous tutu after the performance.

She is not the princess in the lyrics, and can't even afford a tutu. Before returning the tutu to her classmate, she invites him to dance.

At twelve o'clock midnight, Cinderella has to go back home to continue doing housework.

She only has this one time.

He danced with her in a disorderly manner that year.

"...Let everything recover after daybreak."

The last line of lyrics is sung.

"Ding--" the ancient bell from the bell tower rang in the distance, and in an instant, brilliant fireworks in the distance filled the night.

The New Year of 2024 is here, and at twelve o'clock midnight, everyone celebrates the New Year together.

At this moment, Su Mingan no longer heard her voice.

He slowly turned his head and saw that her head was slightly lowered, tilted 30 degrees to the ground. She held the sword tightly, piercing through the front of her neck, piercing her burnt hair and rising high into the sky like a frozen icicle.

Her sword did not pierce his heart, and she still had some sense, so she turned the sword around and pierced her own neck.

Her mouth opened and closed slightly, as if she was about to say something, but no sound came out.

"bright……"

Like a bird pierced alive, the thin red thread strangled her fragile neck. Anyone who tried to rush towards freedom would have his head and body cut off.

The wind blew through her hair and played with her gradually loosening fingers.

He couldn't touch her soul.

"Ding--" An old and melodious bell sounded in the distance, countless cheers rang out from the city, the holy glow of fireworks shot up into the sky, the whole city was bathed in the starry sky, and the celebrating people had rosy faces, as if they were being lifted up to a paradise of happiness.

Under the brilliant light and fire, the girl's head fell forward in the cold wind, as if she had died in another unknown world.

Her pupils lost their luster, the fragile skin on her neck was torn by the ion sword, and her head rolled off.

Su Mingan stretched out his only remaining hand, held her head in the cold wind, and ran his fingers through her black hair.

“…”

He who cannot die has become the "Tomb of Memories" of many people. Their names are the tombstones that he cannot forget in his mind, like his second death.

He remembered what Mizushima Kawaharu said long ago:

[Su Mingan, from the moment you became the number one player and sacrificed Yueyue, I knew that you were extremely selfish.]

[You will lose everything, your family, your friends, there will be no one around you, there will be nothing in your hands, you can't keep anything. ]

He is indeed selfish.

If at the beginning, he had let Yueyue stay safely in the logistics department and not let her go to the battlefield, would she not have died?

If he could have stopped her earlier, if his rewind point could have been earlier, would she... not have been infected with the missing disease?

At that time, if he had just kept her from entering Kaiusta, would she... not have been in danger?

He hadn't done everything in his power to stop her from going to the battlefield - wasn't he at fault at all?

He asked himself, his whole body trembling. In his long patience, he even heard his own voice questioning himself, hoarse and like wet sand.

"—you didn't take advantage of her?"

No?

“…”

He took a quick breath.

—Didn’t he take advantage of her?

He won the most difficult war and broke free from the shackles of the old gods. He was a great man of the Dawn War and a hero who saved countless people. He was respected and attracted worldwide attention. He was the Lord of Aktor, second only to the emperor.

...However, in the 49-year timeline, he didn't even keep the soul of a girl.

If only he could have done it earlier, used all his strength to do it earlier, talked to her earlier, taken her away earlier, and folded his hands with all his strength in countless reincarnations...

With a light "tuft" sound, he moved closer to the sword, and the sword also pierced his neck.

He spit out blood, hugged her and crawled down, as if burying himself in the ground.

The white snow and the water blurred his vision, and he could not see clearly into her lifeless eyes. All he could feel was the burning sensation in his throat and the skin was torn apart.

He stretched his hands forward, but could not grasp anything. The ice and snow froze his soul.
