"I don't wear it." Su Mingan said.
He thought the answer was over, but the next moment, the system prompt popped up again:
…
[Are you sure you don't want to wear the "Eye of the Old Ones"? ]
【Wear/Not wear. 】
…
This time, the words "don't wear" turned bloody red, as if reminding him that if you don't wear it, there will be terrible consequences.
But Su Mingan knew very well that this thing must never be worn on the body.
"I don't wear it." Su Mingan said.
The next moment, the system prompt popped up for the third time:
[Did you really decide not to wear the "Eye of the Old Ones" in the end? ]
【Wear/Not wear. 】
…
The three words "Do Not Wear" had begun to twist, bloody red like blood. The words seemed like a pair of twisted eyes, staring at him coldly.
"No." Su Mingan answered for the third time, and his answer was very firm.
The system prompt did not pop up again.
Su Mingan had never seen such an abnormal copy. Even if it was Baisha Paradise, its underworld was visible to the naked eye, and its background was limited to a small school.
But the background of this "Old World" copy is extremely large - from the present world to Louyue Kingdom, from Louyue to the seaside village. From the beginning to now, the weirdness of the world is hidden in every corner. It seems that wherever he goes, there are eyes staring at him.
He lifted the broken bricks beside him and tried to find Chao Yan in the ruins. But he knew in his heart that if she hadn't appeared yet, she was most likely dead from the tentacles.
"I'm here."
A disembodied voice came from behind.
Su Mingan turned around and saw the black-haired girl sitting among human flesh and bones, her body covered in blood and dust, as if she had just crawled out of the ruins.
"So you're fine." Su Mingan said.
Chao Yan took a few steps. There were obvious scars on her arms and thighs, and several wooden thorns and nails pierced her skin, but she seemed not to feel the pain and staggered towards him step by step.
She shifted her gaze slightly, looking at the dead old man Wang and the incomplete bodies of several villagers under the ruins. She could see the painful and crazy expressions on their faces before they died.
The sea breeze blew, the monster had disappeared, and the morning light gradually appeared in the distance.
"They were so arrogant just now, thinking about how to exploit me tomorrow." Chao Yan said, "In less than a few minutes, they were killed by the aliens, and not even a complete body was left."
She stared at the bodies as if pitying them.
Seeing her expression and thinking about her attitude of not resisting just now, Su Mingan felt that she was too kind: "Do you have sympathy for those who oppress you and blackmail you morally?"
Chao Yan looked up and saw the sea breeze blowing the purple and white morning glory she was holding.
"Life is really like this. No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident." Chao Yan's voice was very quiet: "I don't hate anyone. I think they are born beautiful, just like flowers. Even if they are painted with ugliness, they can be saved. I hope to see their beautiful appearance when they bloom, even if it is pessimistic, heavy, and depressing. Even their "anti-human" side will make me understand more about their rare beauty when they are doing good - so even if they express desire and ugliness to me, I hope they can turn over a new leaf. When they can be redeemed, this contrasting beauty is the most moving moment for me."
"Aren't you angry?" This was the first time Su Mingan had heard such a concept. This was no longer a concept that a normal human being could bear.
Redemption, compassion, extreme. Being oppressed for years without resentment.
It’s just like… God so loves the world.
"Of course I will be angry when I encounter these ugly things, but before that, I hope my anger will not affect their self-salvation," Chao Yan said.
She stood in the morning light, her emerald green eyes still as beautiful as a work of art, her figure so slender that it seemed like it would break if bent. But in Su Mingan's eyes, she seemed incomparably huge.
"..." Su Mingan was silent for a while: "It's a great concept, I respect your idea."
On his shoulder, the shadow of a fox was faintly visible.
"Why do I feel that an orphan girl in a small village is more divine than me?" Xiao Ai fell into reflection.
"I think you're very good." Su Ming'an said perfunctorily in a low voice.
Xiao Ai's big tail was wagging and he looked very happy.
Su Mingan looked at Zhao Yan: "But are you really just an orphan?"
"Yes. I have lived here for many years." Chao Yan gently placed her hand on her chest. Su Mingan then discovered that there was a very thin cross hanging on her chest.
She held the cross in her hand, stared at him, and whispered:
"I'm just... an ordinary orphan girl from a small village."
At this moment, her eyes were filled with deep sorrow and loneliness, like a quiet dead fire. Su Mingan's heart trembled and he looked away.
There were a dozen surviving villagers lying on the ground in the distance, looking at Su Mingan and Chao Yan tremblingly.
The white-haired village chief stood up shakily with his cane and pointed at Su Mingan:
"It's you! It must be you!"
"It's you, an outsider, who brought the alien species! It's you who brought the disaster! We have lived by the sea for generations and have never seen anything like this. As soon as you came, it appeared!"
The village chief waved his arm and pointed at Asagao:
"And you! You, an orphan girl! You must have caused the disaster, and it was you who saved the people! I have always felt that an orphan like you coming to our village would definitely bring misfortune. If I had known this, I should have sold you along with us a few years ago!"
He was shouting and screaming like a madman, having lost his mind under the influence of the tentacles.
