The red light is bright.

The moment he activated the Stone of Memory, a dazzling red light surrounded him.

Su Mingan felt his body lightening, and then the vision in front of him changed, as if he had suddenly changed his place.

In front of him was a floor-to-ceiling window, and the outside was a garden filled with sunlight. "He" stood in the room covered by the red carpet, holding the pendant on his chest, as if waiting for someone.

...This should be Su Lin's memory.

Su Mingan tried to move, but found that he could not move. He seemed to be limited to this past body and could only look out through Su Lin's eyes.

Suddenly, the vision in front of him began to shift, and it was probably Su Lin who turned his head.

Su Mingan saw the luxurious interior decoration, a room full of books, with floating crystal balls and quills in the corner, and an emblem pattern representing the Yat Empire on the wall.

A soft knock came from outside the door, and then a brilliant blonde hair slowly entered his vision.

"Rin." Saya smiled softly, her posture still like the most dignified lady: "I didn't expect you to invite me to the manor."

The moment she heard her words, Su Mingan realized this time node.

Su Lin invited Saya to the manor.

This is also the time node that changed Saya's life.

"Saya, come and see." Su Lin spoke, his voice very gentle.

On his desk was a book spread out.

Saya walked slowly over.

"Is this... "Oracle" written by Vandylan?" She blinked: "So amazing, Rin. I heard that this book is full of obscure Chinese classics, you can actually understand it."

"There is nothing to be understood." Su Lin said softly: "Book is something that communicates with the heart. When your heart is connected to the oracles in the book... there is no need to read it hard, you can understand the state of mind of Vandylan writing this book at that time."

"Struggling in pain, despair and freedom." He summed up softly: "The world is like a huge amber, and he is the solidifier who struggles forever in it."

Saya nodded: "I've heard of Vandylan's story."

"Can you tell me?" Su Lin said.

Saya coughed lightly:

"I heard that priest Vandylan, three hundred years ago, released white doves before the church was burned.

He did not hide or escape in the fire, but instead sang hard, saying that he had already rushed to heaven with the white dove and gained supreme freedom. "Saya said: "However, the knights of the church saved him and prevented him from dying in the fire. The undead Vandylan should have been happy because of this, but his life was depressed... He said that his soul had returned like the kingdom of heaven, leaving only a body solidified by the world."

"—He wrote this oracle with his broken heart, allowing him who had already flown into the kingdom of heaven to convey to people through his body. The kingdom of heaven still exists. He will write honor for the great people..." Su Lin smiled: "He is a soul imprisoned by the world and an existence obstructed by the body. The kingdom of heaven is not a place to accommodate the dead, but a hot land that accommodates the noble soul like him..."

"Rin, I'm glad you shared this book with me." Saya's face showed a decent smile, and a hint of shyness: "I am still too shallow in my understanding of this book, and I will definitely read this book carefully in the future."

Su Mingan looked at Saya carefully through Su Lin's eyes.

Saya looked a little tender at this time, with a little baby fat on her face.

I don’t know how many years ago this happened, but it shouldn’t be long. Saya’s appearance is no big difference from when she was on the boat.

Su Mingan observed for a while and gradually found that Su Lin's behavior was also completely different from that of normal people.

In his conversation with Saya, he acted like a book-loving reader, and could quote appropriate sentences in any topic. At the same time, he seemed to be a priest with a firm belief, and his words were mixed with inducement to Saya, inducing her to understand the gods in his mouth.

His way of speaking was gentle and restrained, and at the same time, there was a bit of fanaticism that made Su Mingan feel a little frightened. It seemed that Saya in front of him had some rebellious intentions, and he would suddenly change his face.

But Su Lin has a very good grasp of the topic.

This conversation appears to be quite calm.

After continuing to communicate with Saya for a few words, Su Lin smiled.

"Saya, do you think eternal life is a good thing for human beings?" Su Lin asked her softly.

"It should... be right." Saya said: "Living forever, watching the world for a long time, watching the changes of the world as an immortal, does not have to be troubled by lifespan and health problems. I think it is a good thing for humanity's own progress and long-term development."

Su Lin's eyes were filled with a smile.

"Saya, then do you want eternal life?" he asked.

Saya's eyes were slightly stunned.

"Does Rin want eternal life?" she asked.

"think."

"What a coincidence." Saya smiled: "If Rin wants it, I want it too."

She smiled very gently, and the warm light shone on her golden hair, and her side face was shining brightly by the warm orange light beside the window.

Her facial features are bright and gentle, and her temperament does not fall into ordinary people. She looks like a princess walking out of the castle in a fairy tale. She just stands quietly on the red carpet, bathing in the sun, as if she is shining from the inside out.

After pondering for a moment, she whispered: "A long life... If I have the company of others, I don't think this is lonely."

Su Lin looked at her and smiled.

Saya suddenly took a step back without warning.

"Rin." She whispered: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"..." Saya took a step back.

A look of fear suddenly appeared on his pretty face, which was moistening with a gentle smile.

She saw Su Lin, who was originally smiling, a blood-red luster flowing in her eyes.

"Rin, your eyes..." She suddenly realized what that color meant.

Red eyes, soul clan.

Saya, who is still young, doesn't understand why Lin is a soul clan.

"What's wrong?" Su Lin stretched out her white gloves' hand.

Facing the girl who looked like she would shine naturally, he pulled up the curtains beside him, blocked the dazzling sunlight, and made a standard invitation.

"Miss Saya, let me live forever." He said, "You have agreed to my invitation."

Saya screamed, suddenly turned around and ran away.

The lights swayed on the pedestal, and a very long shadow dragged out from behind the escaped girl.

Su Lin's eyes were puzzled.

"Miss Saya?" he called softly.

Saya fled to the door, her long blonde hair draped behind her, shaking her eyes in the warm light.

Su Lin followed slowly, as if he had expected the ending.

"Miss Saya, walk slowly and be careful of your feet." Su Lin's steps were neither too fast nor too slow, but very fast.

The blood shone in his eyes. He followed the girl's pace and gently pressed her shoulders on her hands.

"Don't you want eternal life?" he asked.

The girl fell to the ground in a collapsed state, her eyes filled with tears.

"Rin, let me go, I won't reveal the secret that you are the Soul Clan. Even if you are the Soul Clan, I..."

"No." Su Lin interrupted her: "You promised me."

He said, his fingers forming claws and piercing into his own heart.

The golden liquid dripped from his fingertips, and he gently pressed Saya, but it seemed effortless, like a little white mouse.

The lights sway.

The shadows swayed on the wall, like giant beasts lurking at night beginning to appear.

The breeze blew over the pages spread out in the room. As the pages turned, there was a piece of Su Lin's notes on the title page:

【And still die together.】

【…I will be famous forever.】

...

"Vandylan's body is dead."

"But his soul is as if he is imprisoned by the world and cannot ascend to heaven."

"He lives in a depressed and like a coelenteric animal who lives only in simple physiological functions."

"The knight who saved him found beautiful flowers and precious treasures for him, but he abandoned his shoes."

"In extreme despair and struggle, he wrote the Oracle."

"He fantasized that the lost self had ascended into heaven and coexisted with the gods, and that this body on earth was his messenger, who wanted to write glory for the world."

"He wrote glory for himself in heaven and delivered oracles to the body of the mortal world."

"His poem will last forever."

"From then, he saw the meaning of dormant and pain."
