Chapter 135 Dawn Line TE Widow(1/2)
The flames were burning.
The ghost looked at the burning flames in front of her - she could have stopped them without saying a word. As long as Jasmine is burned to death, she could find the next possessed body and then continue to maintain her "believers".
She looked at the young man holding a torch in front of her, and the young man was also looking at her, his eyes extremely plain.
——He clearly has the same wishes and the same wishes as himself. He wants to save Jasmine, and he also wants Jasmine to live, so why should she be controlled by his words?
"A group of blind believers and a sincere believer." Su Mingan looked at her: "You choose for yourself."
"What do you want?" Ghost couldn't understand what this person was trying to say.
"I want to make a deal with you." Su Mingan said: "I have a prop that can take away a dying person. If you voluntarily leave Jasmine's body and leave Terry, I will save Jasmine and let her continue to live."
"Why should I believe you?" Ghost sneered: "How great do you think I am? For a small believer, I will sacrifice myself?"
"It's okay." Su Mingan continued: "It has no effect on me whether you leave or not. It's just me to save Terry and Jasmine. I don't like this town. If you destroy it, just destroy it. My mission has been completed."
The ghost first showed full of anger, and then she calmed down slightly and became silent.
She looked at the angry townspeople around her, and then said softly:
"...You put me down first."
Su Mingan immediately went to untire her rope without any hesitation.
"Hey, he..."
Some townsmen wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Mitchell's crutches. Mitchell's expression was a little solemn, as if he was struggling inside.
The ghost was put down, she rubbed her sore arms, and then looked at Su Mingan.
"This is her body," she said. "You go and ask her."
As she said that, she closed her eyes.
The next moment, Su Mingan saw the particularly pure look - that was Jasmine's look.
"……Um?"
It seemed that she would wake up here. Jasmine was still a little panicked when she saw the sunlight that was dripping down, but soon she saw Su Mingan in front of her and calmed down slightly.
"Brother Lighthouse, I'm..." She noticed the townsmen holding a torch on the side, and subconsciously clenched his sleeves with some fear, as she often did at night.
"Jasmine..."
She heard an old shout, turned her head and saw Poirie Mitchell.
"Mayor?" she shouted blankly.
She couldn't recognize Boli.
Even though her former god stood in front of her, when his face grew older, the person in her eyes was just a gray-haired old man.
"Marl, Jasmine--Now, the whole town's life is in your hands."
The white-haired old man rushed up tremblingly. Jasmine was a little scared, but she was kind-hearted and did not push away an old man who could not stand firmly. She looked at the old man with a begging face and felt a little at a loss.
"Please, please let that ghost leave... Our town really can't stand the successive exile and death. If this continues, Terry will become a ghost town..."
The old man was holding her red wedding dress, and the old man's eyes were filled with deep sadness.
Jasmine was not clear about the situation. She only knew that she should wake up in the ancestral hall at night, waiting for someone day after day, but she couldn't remember more.
But I don't know why,
When this old man, the old man she didn't know, pounced on him with a humble prayer, some lost emotions creeped in her chest.
"Old man, wait first..." She called out subconsciously, but for some reason, as soon as the title was released, she felt a little ridiculous. The feeling was like a tide, and it was almost flooding her.
...It seems that she shouldn't call the other person that way.
Who should be hers?
"Marl, there is a ghost parasitized on you." Su Mingan said slowly: "You have no memory during the day because it takes over your body. Because it is in, a township will die every day in the town."
"...Is that true?" Jasmine was stunned. Suddenly, she hugged her head, as if some memory was being awakened:
"I, I remembered it, it seems that there is someone... She sometimes talks with me, sometimes, she will tell me stories from the outside world..."
She said, suddenly her body stiffened, and then her eyes trembled violently:
"No." She murmured to herself: "She is not a human being."
Su Ming looked at her quietly.
"She is my god." Jasmine's eyes were a little dull: "I seemed to be waiting for someone, and then she came... She talked with me and let me stick to life. She knew everything and had supreme power - she was my god."
Su Mingan turned his head away.
Looking at it, Jasmine was unable to do anything to let the ghost sacrifice.
He had no feelings about this. He had done it casually, and he could save it if possible. Maybe there were any hidden rewards. If not, let this town continue like this. All this is the choice of Jasmine and Ghost. After all, he is just a passing traveler.
"But, no, it's not right." Jasmine's eyes suddenly fell on Su Mingan.
There was something else in her eyes that was completely simple.
"Brother Lighthouse, you told me, you told me other stories..." She said, her tone was low, like a narrative, whispering what he had said:
"[...I saw your so-called exile during the day, and I also knew that those people must have innocent souls. But just to satisfy the wishes of the vast majority of people and to satisfy the progress of the entire town, they were suddenly sacrificed, and this sacrifice did not require their own consent.]"
She raised her head: "You asked me before, whether such a system is reasonable... Now I think such a system is unreasonable."
Su Mingan looked at her with a brand new look.
"[Because she could not accept the facts, she spread absurdity and turned into what she called truth]." Jasmine whispered and repeated what he had said:
"Brother Lighthouse, now Terry is sick and absurd. I know all this in my heart... and my ideal god is absolutely, absolutely, and will not let the innocent townspeople die for Him for some reason..."
"So." She raised her head, with a rare firmness in her eyes.
"I might have really believed in her before, but now, I understand that she is not my god."
Su Mingan laughed out loud.
He smiled very realistically.
The next moment, he saw the dark ghost floating up from Jasmine's body.
It gradually condensed into the appearance of a woman. Since it was just pitch black, her face could not be seen clearly.
"Is this your answer, Jasmine." The ghost looked at her.
"I remembered it." Jasmine said firmly: "My god, name Poli. Sorry...but I will not have a second faith again."
Mitchell's body trembled violently, and he seemed to want to shed tears.
But in the end, he just sighed deeply.
...
The ghost disappeared.
After hearing Jasmine's answer, it rose from Jasmine and suddenly disappeared.
Jasmine didn't know where it went, but the sudden heavy feeling of weight on her body was telling her that the ghost had left, and her surviving existence was about to die.
Her vision was a little blurred, and even her breathing was getting slower and slower.
In a trance, she seemed to see a dark presence rushing up, and then gently pressed against her lips.
【Living.】
She vaguely heard such a voice.
【I'm leaving.】
[——Let’s go and pursue your true belief.]
She wanted to keep the voice, but everything was gradually moving away from her.
——She heard cheers.
Cheers from the townspeople.
They looked so happy, cheering with high-fives, the women's laughter was sharp, the old man's laughter was hoarse, all of this was as if it had been poured into her ears, and she could hear it clearly.
She felt her mind clearer than ever before, and when she heard all this, she knew that she should be happy for Terry's peace.
She raised her eyes slightly, trying to show a smile of joy in the victory over evil, but in the end she felt that tears were very hot, and her figure seemed to be slowly disappearing.
The next moment, she saw Su Mingan approaching.
This traveler always tells many interesting stories, and it was him who made her final decision - the faith that justice expels evil.
She watched him stuff a doll into her hand, and then her almost transparent figure gradually stabilized.
...
[Duoduo's doll (red level): a disposable prop, given to a dying person, he will become your "forever" companion]
...
"You did it, Jasmine."
