Chapter 136 Chapter 134 "The Last God"

  【Twenty minutes ago】

 “Jasmine” kept struggling. She seemed extremely depressed and her tears kept flowing.

Seeing that she refused to cooperate, Su Mingan had no choice but to knock her unconscious and go to Mayor Mitchell.

“Mayor.” Su Mingan walked into the tea room holding the unconscious Jasmine, and met the old man’s cloudy eyes: “…No, Bo Li.”

Pauli Mitchell's body trembled slightly. He looked at the girl wrapped in a **** wedding dress, and his pupils kept vibrating, as if the dusty memories were gradually being awakened.

"Bo Li...mayor." Su Mingan slowly called his name, feeling a sense of absurdity in the reincarnation of cause and effect: "Do you remember now? Your past was bewitched by this ghost?"

The white-haired old man slowly turned around.

Su Mingan saw a drop of tear in his eyes.

"Who am I?" Mitchell muttered: "I am... Pori?"

He walked forward slowly, as if he wanted to touch the girl who seemed to be sleeping, but his hand was suddenly withdrawn.

He looked at Jasmine and the **** wedding dress on her body, looking at it slowly, as if looking at a treasure.

 She is still young.

 He has long since grown old...even losing his faith unknowingly in his daily life.

 “…I remembered.” He muttered to himself.

That tone was very familiar to Su Mingan. He had heard this person say this in his ear several times:

“—I am Boli, a wanderer returning home from a long journey.”

 …

 …

 In the altered timeline, Pori has the memory of that single-player instance.

"I remembered that that day, after listening to Serena's words, I wanted to find the lost **** and imprison the innocent Jasmine—" Mitchell looked in a hurry: "But, why did I still take her with me? …What exactly do I believe in? When did my belief…begin to change…?”

Su Mingan put Jasmine aside, took out the dragon-headed crutch and handed it to him.

Mitchell slowly took it, his bark-like wrinkled hands slowly caressing the cane, like touching the skin of a lover.

Su Mingan waited silently, 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 the time when I was buried - it turns out that after locking Jasmine in the ancestral hall, I still failed In spite of Salina's expectations, I forgot about waiting for her, and even forgot about my own beliefs...I was bewitched by the ghost in Jasmine's body, and the whole town also believed in an evil god..."

He held the dragon-headed crutch with both hands, his eyes filled with eager anticipation:

"—Now, I will communicate with the Lord God and free Trilli from eternal damnation..."

Su Mingan said nothing.

 He knew that the gods of Trili were long gone.

The dragon-head crutch in Mitchell's hand lit up, and then as expected, nothing happened.

 —There will be no more gods to answer him.

His expression seemed a little lost, but his eyes were calm, as if he had already expected this outcome.

"So...that's it." Mitchell said, "I should have thought that God will not forgive us again and again for our children who have abandoned their faith."

"You don't have to worry too much." Su Mingan said: "People die every night in this town, and it's this ghost that is responsible. As long as the ghost is expelled, even if there is no God's blessing in the future, Trilli can still be freed from the curse - needless to say For whom you fight, you are sufficient to save yourselves.”

Mitchell glanced at him.

This look was extremely profound.

“I once thought about expelling ghosts.” Mitchell said, “But it’s useless... Even if we kill Jasmine, the ghost will still choose someone else to possess her. We can only continue to lock Jasmine in the ancestral hall...”

 “And usher in the next reincarnation?” Su Mingan chuckled softly.

 …He felt sad for the townspeople’s self-deception.

 The ghost will not die, it will gradually regain its strength.

Even if Jasmine is permanently locked in the ancestral hall, the ghost will still continue to bewitch the townspeople.

Even if Bo Li is sober now, his next [Mayor Mitchell] will still be bewitched, and then the process of today will only be repeated.

—And at that time, will they welcome a new group of travelers?

Su Mingan has tried his best to reach this point, but cannot save these people. If Jasmine continues to be locked in the ancestral hall forever, waiting for the ghost to be bewitched - what is the difference between the situation and that before he arrived?

"There is nothing we can do." Mitchell shook his head: "The ghost is immortal, we can't drive it away..."

Su Mingan has traveled all over Trili, and he has found no other clues.

According to the progress of the mission, he is almost completed. As long as he drags Jasmine to the square to expose the true identity of the ghost, his mission will be successfully completed this time.

He didn't need to meddle in Trilli's business anymore. Both camps and special tasks were in full bloom. This time, his world copy was carried out perfectly.

 …There is no need for him to do anything else.

 He turned his head and looked at the girl lying on the sofa, her brows stretched.

She seemed to have fallen asleep, her expression was very relaxed, much better than the one he had seen before, leaning against the coffin and crying silently.

For a moment he remembered the girl's bright eyes at dawn, the bright golden color in her pupils was very beautiful.

 She is still waiting for the follow-up story.

 If he left like this, she would continue to be locked up in the ancestral hall forever and never see the light of day.

 “…” He was silent for a while.

 He always felt that if it ended like this, it would not be an ideal ending.

"Bori, I have a solution." He said: "If you want to save the town of Trili, you can try it."

Mitchell’s eyes became slightly condensed.

 …

Above the Exile Square, Aini watched Su Mingan walking towards the center holding a girl.

"What are you doing?" Aini looked at this scene in confusion: "That's the mayor's daughter, right? Why did he get hooked up... What is this going to do? Today, these cerebral palsy townspeople are going to start exile again Yet?"

The tit-for-tat confrontation between several players paused. They watched everything happening in the square and watched Su Mingan hand the dragon-head crutch into the mayor's hand.

"Are you a clone?" Aini glanced at the silent clone next to him: "Do you know what your main body is going to do?"

 “Don’t make any noise.” He received a very bad attitude from his clone.

 …Isn’t it said that the clone is very gentle?

Ani turned his head instantly, he would not be too hot-faced but cold-hearted.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the mayor's daughter was tied directly to the cross.

There were firewood piled under the cross, as if they were about to be executed.

 “What are you doing...?” Aini murmured.

“Today’s banishment target is my daughter... no, it’s the ghost residing in the body of my daughter Jasmine.” The mayor suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

He looked at the indignant townspeople and said: "This **** ghost has bewitched us, made us abandon our previous beliefs, and made the great gods abandon us - it has sinned so much that only fire can burn it away. sin!"

 …started again.

Aini has seen the fanaticism of this group of townspeople since he first entered this town. They exiled their own people as if they were crazy, and their attitude was like a group of hopeless cultists.

Whoever you doubt will be sent to death.

 Family affection, friendship, and love are all things that can be discarded at will in their view.

Now, the person under suspicion is the mayor’s daughter, so the mayor puts his daughter on the rack again...

 He watched this scene with some boredom, looked at the girl who was tied to the stake, and slowly opened his eyes.

Her eyes are like celestial lakes, pure and beautiful, making those who look at her feel as if their souls have been purified. Ani felt a little pity - he felt that this girl should be innocent like most people, but she was pushed to a dead end because of the anger of the crowd.

Suddenly, he saw Su Mingan's expression.

 He saw this man's expression - Su Mingan's expression was quite solemn.

“So, is this what you are advocating?” Aini thought of the scene where this person was walking in the front:

　　…“…What on earth are you thinking about?”

 …

 The ghost opened his eyes.

 She saw the firewood below and the mayor with a sad look on his face.

Besides, there are the townspeople with numb faces, holding sickles and forks in their hands.

 They were just waiting for her to die - just because of a word from the mayor.

“…You really want to burn Jasmine to death.”

 The ghost murmured to himself.

She looked at the townspeople who looked so fanatical and wished she could die, and recognized their faces bit by bit.

These people are still her fanatical followers.

She can still control them to save her and kill the mayor Po Li who suddenly wakes up. After that, she can still confuse the townspeople, and she can continue to control the entire Trili like a god.

 But, at this moment, the balance in her heart tilted slightly.

The cross trembled slightly, and her whole body was shaking.

As if she was making an extremely difficult decision, when she saw Su Mingan approaching her holding a torch, her eyes were gradually filled with extremely complex emotions.

“—Is this what you think, outsider?” she asked.

Su Mingan looked up at the ghost hanging on the rack, the heat of the flames slightly burning his face.

"—I'm asking you, a traveler from the outside world." She repeated: "After seeing the truth about Trili and knowing all this, your idea is to burn Jasmine to death, and then watch me possess a new one. Townspeople?”

"What happened to Trili has nothing to do with me." Su Mingan said in an extremely calm voice. When looking at this ghost, his eyes were extremely stable:

 “All I want is victory in the final route.”

 …

 …

"—You're lying!" Ghost Jasmine kept repeating, like a madman who suddenly lost his mind: "You're lying! You're lying! You're lying—!"

Su Mingan's eyes were always steady, his hand holding the torch did not tremble at all, and the flame rose steadily.

"-It's not that you don't care at all, Traveler No. 1. I've analyzed your behavior, and you're lying now!" Ghost Jasmine gritted her teeth: "You obviously care, you care so much. You can't possibly want to burn me to death for no reason - you obviously Know it's useless and will only keep Trilli in deeper darkness - you care about Jasmine and you want to save her!"

Su Mingan’s hand sank slightly.

The flame burned at the end of the stick with scorching heat.

Su Mingan said: "But it is undeniable that you also want to save Jasmine."

 After he said these words, the ghost's behavior like a lunatic suddenly stopped.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like a pagan witch about to be burned to death.

 She opened her mouth slightly, and then tears appeared in her sea-like eyes.

"..." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then, tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Burn Jasmine to death, and the ghost will look for a new body, but Jasmine will be burned to death - you won't die, but are you willing to let the Jasmine you possess die?" Su Mingan said: "Ghost, I saw you during the day performance, and I have also seen you burst into tears because the gods left. In the fusion with Jasmine, you seemed to be infected with her emotions - you seemed to enjoy getting along with Mitchell, even if he I only regard you as my daughter. You also had feelings for Edward at that time, just like an ordinary girl."

 The ghost's body trembled slightly.

 She seemed to want to avoid his gaze.

"You call yourself a god, but you are no longer a simple god." Su Mingan looked at her: "—Ghost, you have to know one thing. Once a **** has a weakness, he will no longer be a god."

 The ghost chose to absorb Jasmine’s soul, became trapped in her body, and took on her emotions.

Hunter actually has a way to escape from this predicament.

As long as it controls Jasmine's body to die during the day, it can find a healthier body, absorb new souls, and restore its strength.

 …But it just doesn’t.

“—You have spent a long time with Jasmine, a wandering ghost, and you can’t let her go.” Su Mingan looked at her:

 …

 “Among all the people who have been forcibly controlled, she is your only sincere fanatic.”
