v2 Chapter 223: Benjamin and Evelyn

Remember in one second【】

Annan still remembered that nightmare.

The nightmare of "Evelyn Miller", named "Reflection", belonged to Benjamin's girlfriend.

He also remembered... Evelyn was the opportunity that made Benjamin want to become an extraordinary man and a dark tower wizard.

When she was a child, Evelyn had long drifting hair, a beautiful appearance, and a very soft body. She can be called a natural dancer, destined to become Yaon's darling.

She fell in love with Benjamin as early as that time.

And the day after that... because of an unexpected fire, Evelyn was suddenly disfigured.

Her face was covered with burn scars, and her white and silky skin turned pink with atrophic scars. She even lost all her hair.

As a girl who loves beauty and a talented dancer who takes dance as her only life plan in the future, this sudden despair almost ruined her entire life.

If Benjamin hadn't been with her, I'm afraid Evelyn would have committed suicide long ago.

At the same time, it was precisely because of Benjamin's true love from the heart that ignored his appearance, that Evelyn couldn't bear to leave.

At that time, she had watched the dance of the pale princess "Dancer under the Moon" obsessively-it was an unidentified spirit dance that ordinary people would get seriously ill with just a glance.

But it was precisely because of the love in Evelyn's heart that she was favored by the pale princess and obtained the privilege of becoming a half-dead daughter.

However, Evelyn did not know the price of a mortal being a half-dead girl.

The essence of this transfer ceremony is to use beautiful life and love as sacrificial offerings to the pale princess in exchange for corresponding mysterious knowledge and power. For Evelyn, Benjamin was all her life; her entire life was also what Benjamin lived.

She immediately received the highest-level gift of extraordinary power.

And it wasn't until this time that Evelyn realized one thing.

That is, if she continued this ritual, dedicated her life to the pale princess, and transferred her job to a half-dead daughter in the form of an undead, she would abandon her love for Benjamin forever.

Evelyn believed that this was undoubtedly a betrayal of Benjamin.

When I was disfigured and lost my future, even when my family stopped getting close to me, and even began to fear and hate me... Only Benjamin did not abandon her.

So, she can't abandon Benjamin anyway.

But if she refused the ceremony directly, she would die after seeing the pale princess Lingwu.

——One step forward, losing love, leaving Benjamin forever in the soul; stepping back, losing life, leaving Benjamin forever in the body.

This is a dilemma.

And Evelyn with her outstanding talent and wisdom.

In this two-choice problem, Evelyn just hit a third way--

She didn't want to choose anything.

She killed herself from the future - and when she was about to die, relying on her undead traits that she was about to become a half-dead woman, she persisted until she finished preparing her nightmare.

And in the end, she used the time paradox she weaved to seal her soul into her nightmare. Keep repeating this "the future I killed myself" story.

Because time continues to pass, the future will eventually become the present. In the far future, there will be a newer Evelyn.

In this way... as long as this nightmare is not purified, she will not die completely. It's like the pardoner in the nightmare of the gallery.

In contrast, every time someone purifies this nightmare, she will die once and feel the pain of being purged and torn apart.

Evelyn believed that the future Benjamin would definitely come back to save her.

Because the puzzle she set up must be someone who has the ability to time to completely purify this nightmare.

The way to purify this nightmare is to sort out this infinitely overlapping time loop, find the first thread, and figure out "how on earth did she kill herself from the future". Therefore, this nightmare can hardly be completely deciphered.

Even Annan didn't know how Evelyn did it.

Also because she was trapped to death in the time paradox, the pale princess whose abilities are completely related to time could not have any effect on her. Neither her soul nor the newly acquired abilities would be taken away by the pale princess.

Only by gaining time-related ritual abilities, divine arts or elements, can we find the girl who was hidden at the bottom of the timeline by many paradoxes... and rescue her again.

According to the news given by Salvatore.

Annan gradually recovered the entire incident.

"The future you... will find me."

Evelyn, who was in the pale princess's church, whose body was so transparent that it looked like a ghost, said to Benjamin.

But Benjamin, who was not an extraordinary person at the time, couldn't understand the meaning of Evelyn's words at all.

Then, she turned into light spots and fell in all directions...not even leaving a corpse.

This is a sign that she is about to be transformed into a half-dead daughter.

It was also evidence that Benjamin believed she did not really die.

But Benjamin waited on the spot for three days and three nights.

He was so hungry that he was dizzy and almost unable to walk, but he still didn't see Evelyn come back.

He can only think that Evelyn's ceremony has failed-the pale princess is not willing to accept her soul. Or her soul has long lived in the tide of pale, no

Back to the world again.

So Benjamin was heartbroken and left here.

After that, Benjamin would come back here every year with a green light. See if you can wait for Evelyn.

He delved into the art of green fire and spread it to thousands of households... It is precisely because the green fire lit by the two in that gloomy church is the last memory of the two in Benjamin's heart.

Benjamin in his youth can be said to be a kind of talent.

He reached the Silver Stage before he was thirty years old.

He has several convenient inventions and has a considerable degree of prestige among the masses. Hugo, the owner of the tower, regarded him as a candidate for the son of the tower, with a handsome face and a good family background.

If he followed the normal development, he would probably have married and had children a long time ago.

But maybe it's a coincidence, or... because the fate between the two is still unfinished. When Benjamin paid homage to Evelyn one year, he was accidentally drawn into Evelyn’s nightmare.

When he woke up, tears were already streaming down his face.

He clearly realized-Evelyn was still waiting for his rescue.

He finally recalled that sentence, and with the help of his extraordinary knowledge accumulated over the years, he guessed the meaning:

Her ceremony did not fail.

Evelyn was like singing in the voice of prayer.

Become a "wandering dancer who pursues the undestined love, imprisonment and life, following beauty and freedom".

To become a half-dead daughter, you must abandon your "love"—a half-dead daughter is only allowed to fall in love with the pale princess. In other words, all the believers, apostles, and followers of the Pale Princess are her lovers.

The price they paid to become the lover of the pale princess, the pale princess will repay three times.

The weight of the value of this "love" ~lightnovelpub.net~ is enough to make people reach the sky in one step.

But Evelyn refused this temptation.

She didn't abandon herself... It was precisely to keep that love that she wandered like a ghost in this dying place of eternal calamity!

In order to rescue Evelyn, Benjamin contacted Michelangelo, who was still the "Eye of Time".

He is the wizard who has studied the way of time the most in this world, and is also the only known golden-level transcendent who takes "time" as the element.

After listening to Benjamin's story, Michelangelo suddenly had an idea.

Since Evelyn can continue to superimpose her future self into this era through the time paradox, to achieve the effect of "rejecting death"...

Then can he achieve the effect of "double life" by manipulating the time paradox... to achieve "death once and resurrect twice"?

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
