Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Duel

Walking to the crystal capital that looks like a sticker of a painting in the villages and towns of the fantasy world, soon came to a boundless ruin. Sorebria, the imperial capital. His walls crumble, his houses fall.Gorlem's wreckage was mixed among the rubble of the ruined walls.Because they are all made of crystals, the refracted light from broken pillar sections, roofs with missing tiles, etc., forms a landscape that is more beautiful than any town we have passed so far, which is incredible. If it is abstracted through crystal modeling, the ruins will become the most beautiful landscape.Although Gen didn't make any ironic remarks on this point, it was quite sad.The destruction of Sorebria on the ground and the harsh outcome of that battle did not simply become a thing of the past in the mind.Even though the transparent crystal bears the burden of the tragedy of the rubble, it cannot weaken the fear, anger and sadness that I experienced at that time.

On the ground, what are Mina and Ki Kima doing now?Have you returned to Long Island safely?In the southern continent, have you noticed that the demons are about to invade? Gen bowed his head and ran.Run, run, keep running, suddenly, a huge monster stands in front of you. He almost ran into each other.While panting, Wataru looked up at the obstacle. is a gate.Probably the gate of the Crystal Palace.The imitation of Sorebria retains nothing of the original, except for the two gates leading to the emperor's residence in the middle. For a moment, Wataru remembered that he wanted to protect the door.However, the scale here is much smaller. Compared with the huge Kaoyubei, which cannot be seen from the top, this is a pocket version.

The reliefs in the center of the left and right doors are probably the emblems of the emperor's family.Surrounded by slender patterns, it seems to be the pattern of stars moving, with patterns of swords and shields, knights and dragons, and crowns. Whether it is retreating or pulling, the gate remains motionless.It's come to an end. look around.In the sea of ​​shining rubble, there is no place that looks like a shortcut.Without going through this door, you cannot go forward. Have to climb over it?Slippery with no grip.There must be a way to open the gate. What's going on here.

He wandered around his head.In addition to being angry, he lifted his feet towards the door. Ouch, it hurts!Gen knelt down and covered his toes, only to find that there were some vague patterns on the ground in front of the door. Shaped like veins that form channels for light.But this one is much smaller, two circles smaller than the current world's launch to the entrance. One, two... a total of five were counted and arranged in a semicircle. Watt tried to get a foot in one of the patterns. All of a sudden, Joy arose in Heng's heart, and laughter burst out in his ears.Who is laughing?what is this?Gen was startled and retracted his feet, the laughter disappeared, and the joy disappeared without a trace.

Tried again, still the same phenomenon.So, try it on the next pattern.At this moment, he was furious, and similarly, to get rid of the pattern, the anger disappeared. Next to it.As soon as I stepped on the third pattern, my heart was full of sadness.Stepping on the fourth one, I jumped up and down with joy on the spot. Nothing happened to the fifth pattern. Gen carefully kept a distance from the five patterns, folded his arms and thought. Emotions, sorrows and joys.A pattern, a mood. His eyes lit up. Oh, the gatekeeper's village, the hut where Rao the mentor lived!Rao said that the Angry House is angry, the Sad House is sad, and the Laughing House is smiling. You can't influence the visiting "travelers" with your own mood.

Just like that?This is a hint: carry your corresponding emotions on the patterns that carry emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. Xi, stand on a pattern with both feet, close your eyes, and pursue the joyful encounter in the fantasy world in your heart. Ki Kima's face emerged.Leaving the gatekeeper's village and encountering him for the first time on the vast grassland. "Hey! Hey! People over there!" He greeted in good spirits.He dusted the galloping Darubaba.Tell yourself that eating too much mulberry fruit will cause bad stomach. Then, when he knew that Wataru was a "tourist", he was ecstatic without any scruples. "Traveler" is a sign of luck for us water people!He hugged Gen, his huge body bouncing up and down.This was the joy of Ki Kima, and it was undoubtedly the first time he felt the joy when he came to the fantasy world.At the beginning of the worrying journey, Wataru's heart suddenly brightened.

"Swipe" once, and the patterns under the feet disappear.In the blink of an eye, at the same time, from the gate of the Crystal Palace, there was a sound of something falling off. It means that the first level has been passed. Next is anger.As soon as you step on the pattern, you will be angry without any trouble.Two Anka teenagers tricked Mina into helping her with the theft, and sneaked into the clinic where Mina was resting, threatening her.When I think of that scene, I feel angry. At that time, in order to protect Mina, I jumped in from the window of the clinic desperately. "brush".The pattern disappears.There was a "crack" sound.

The third.What about sadness?The "sorrow" of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.No need to think about it at all.Still vivid, the memory of the wound still bleeding.It was Katz's death.At the last moment, he comforted and encouraged himself—the feeling of that hand gently holding his cheek. The third pattern also disappeared.Go to the fourth pattern. happy.Ha ha, too many to count.Listen to Mina singing in the daru baba.Feast with the waterfolk in the Sakawa countryside.Sitting around the hotel for a delicious meal.Even the gossips during the break are all wonderful. Among those things, Gen recalled the situation when he watched the performance of the "High-altitude Circus" on the outskirts of Maqiba Town.Mina, who is always alive and kicking, really shows her skills on stage.Various stunts performed with Parker, breathtaking high-altitude somersaults.At the end of the show, Mina sang a song, and her face, which was already familiar, was embarrassingly lookable.He clapped his hands sorely.

When I think about it, whether it’s sad or happy, it’s all spent together with my partners. "brush".The fourth pattern also disappeared.For the fourth time, there was a "crack" sound, and the closed door was slowly opened from the inside with a heavy sound that vibrated through the internal organs. It worked! Gen clenched his fists tightly, but Chang couldn't help but jump up.Try to solve the riddle, the title is very simple. However, there is a fifth pattern left. To be on the safe side, step on this pattern again.Still don't feel anything.Is this just a trap to confuse yourself?

The door has opened again... Although he had doubts in his heart, he also remembered that he was running out of time.Gen walked towards the door, feeling uneasy. Just while passing through the gate, the surroundings become darker, just a few steps away.However, when the field of vision brightened up again, the surrounding scene changed drastically. This is the Swamp of Sadness. Panorama of the Swamp of Sadness reproduced in crystal.Smooth water.There is no silence beneath it, but a gloomy restlessness.That is also a matter of course.There is a strange fish Karen hiding in the water, showing its jagged teeth, waiting for its prey.The wetlands are surrounded by lush grass, and if you get close to it accidentally, the sharp leaves will hurt your hands.If you walk unsteadily and fall on the swamp, your body will be frozen by the wet ground.Moreover, the black water in the Swamp of Sadness can paralyze people's bodies and make them unable to move. It is terrible poisonous water.

Want me to walk through the swamp... Gen cautiously tried to take a step, and the swamp water actually supported his feet, as solid as ice.That's right, no matter how it looks, this place is a crystal imitation after all.However, Gen is still trembling every step he takes. Who knows if the strange fish Karen is still patrolling under the swamp water with blue light?Perhaps at any moment the surface of the crystal water would break open and Karen would pop out. It's okay, it's not going to happen.After walking clumsily for a while, Wataru finally felt convinced.Hurry up and finish, and you can get to the other side. In the Swamp of Sadness above ground, he was seized by horrible hallucinations.I can't forget it.Another Wat was separated from Wat and killed a man and a woman who looked exactly like his father and his lover—Yagom and Lily Enna.And this other Gen was relentlessly pursued by the biological baby of the woman in black who died in Gen's hands. Was that also caused by the poisonous water in the swamp?I met people who were exactly like my father and Rikako, and they also acted like my father and Rikako in the fantasy world, and they also plausibly said that they only cared about themselves.It was this kind of impact that created a gap in the mind, allowing the black water to seep in, creating that illusion.I thought I had no chance to see the Swamp of Sadness again, but unexpectedly I had to pass again in this way. Let's go quickly.Close your mind's eyes from thinking of Sadami's and Sarah's faces.The baby crawled and narrated the resentment towards Heng, the memory that he could not get rid of no matter how he escaped, don't bring it up again. In order to get rid of the things he had recalled, Wataru stopped in his tracks and shook his head vigorously.He happened to be in the middle of the swamp. If this place is a real Swamp of Sadness on the ground, it would be unsightly.And like this bordered by wetlands and lush grass, the shape of Sad Marsh looks, almost a perfect circle. Suddenly, Wataru thought of a strange thing.Doesn't this look like a circular stage?I am like the only actor, standing on this stage. What about the audience?Is it the gloomy wetland air and the murky grass?Very inconspicuous. At this time, a shout came from nowhere. "Passenger". Gen immediately made a defensive posture. The young "traveler" is here. is an inanimate.An emotionless voice.If Crystal spoke, it must be this voice. If you really want to come to my knees, you must prove yourself that you are a brave man. below my knees?So, is this the voice of Goddess of Fate? Just as the morning star returns children playing in the field to their mothers, call separated souls and wandering people back to their hometowns.Bring it back to you. What do you want me to bring back?What do you want me to prove? The voice of the goddess issued a declaration, without giving Haru time to hesitate. Come, let's cross! The stunned Heng saw it. There's something approaching here from across the Swamp of Sorrows. A small figure.Come on foot.Step by step, there is no doubt about it.The way he walks is familiar.The shape of the head, the angle of the shoulders—a familiar, slightly intimidating figure. Because that is the image reflected in the mirror. Potential another stretch. He took off his shirt, and carried a sword in his hemp belt, and even the heels of his old shoes were worn to the same extent. The only difference is the expression.Biting his lip fearlessly, two sparkling eyes.The abrupt bones and thin face... oh, look carefully, there are blood splatters on the shirt on the chest. This is what Wataru appeared in the hallucination in the Swamp of Sorrows.The appearance of a murderer and infanticide. Those should be hallucinations.Not real.is a nightmare.It didn't happen.It's fake, fake, fake! Gen trembling back a little bit.The other is advancing step by step.When they were so close that even the shadow of the eyelashes on their faces could be clearly seen, another decisive movement drew out the sword of the brave. The other Gen spoke.The sound of the baby that came out of my mouth was really sad. "Murderer, I have been waiting for a long time." Suddenly, I understood immediately: this swamp of reproduction is not a stage.Not at all. It is a duel field.Won must fight here, with another Won, the clone of the hallucination, who is blocking the way. Let's go! Another foot stepped into the swamp. don't want anything.I can't even touch the sword of the brave with my hands.In the next instant, the clone approached, and the sword of the brave in his hand slashed across Gen's chin.Gen was paralyzed from fright, fell backwards, and slid away. He couldn't even adjust the direction, he just slid forward, and while struggling with his hands and feet, he bumped into the foot of the clone who had taken the lead, and stopped.Jianyan looked straight down.Gen let out a vague exclamation, and rolled away to the side.The clone's sword tip was stuck on the surface of the swamp, and crystal shards scattered everywhere. Lian Lian scrambled to stand up, and at this time the clone was behind him.The wind blown by the sword thrust was so sharp that it almost cut off Gen's ear.Blood splattered. I can't even feel the pain.The warm feeling of blood beads on the cheeks, the red splash on the shirt, and the avatar, the avatar and the avatar, who is the master and who is the slave, who is the main body and who is the mirror image, in the mind that is whirling with chaos and fear, even I can't tell the difference. Gen was about to run away, but was grabbed by the back of his shirt by his avatar.The moment Gen was pulled back, he put his weight on the clone, and the two collided and fell down. The avatar and Gen tugged and fell together. When they were pressed together, Gen was shocked to find that the avatar's body was cold.what is this guymade of ice? Although there is a body, although it can move, it is not a living thing, nor is it a ghost. The avatar raised his wrist and smashed Gen's head with the hilt of his sword.Just as Gen was about to stand up, he was beaten so hard that his eyes dazzled and he staggered. "I kill you!" The avatar cursed in Heng's voice and in Heng's words.The hatred contained in the scolding crowd made Wataru tremble all over. Grab the sword of the brave.He couldn't speak, just prayed in his heart: Fly! Activated the teleportation magic, and was sent to the edge of the swamp in the blink of an eye.Landing on his back, he struggled to stand up. He was finally able to draw his sword.Shaking from the knees down, he could hardly stand still.His hands trembled, his shoulders shrugged and he gasped wildly. The avatar stood in the middle of the swamp, looking very happy and angry.The smirk didn't go away either. "Hehe" almost cracked his mouth with a smile.Why am I smiling like that? "you you……" He stuttered and talked.He gripped the sword of the brave in both hands, not ready to fight.He held the sword of the brave tightly as if he were holding on to a lifeline. "You're not me. You're not me. You don't exist. You're an illusion!" He fired a magic bullet.The avatar gently avoided the magic bullets flying over with glowing trails.The last light bullet was deflected by the clone's sword of the brave, flying over the swamp like a blind meteor. "You are an illusion!" Gen shouted with all his strength, and charged at the clone.The avatar also rushed towards him. Just when he thought that the tip of the sword was about to stab the avatar, the avatar jumped up, one foot was in Gen's hand holding the sword, and jumped over the top of Gen's head. Oops, we're under attack!As soon as Gen had this thought, he was kicked hard on the back and fell forward to bite the mud. It's lightning speed!There's nothing he can do about it.Now he can't even shake, replaced by despair, powerlessness and fear.What next?What can I do?How can I beat him? Enchantment! In short, to stealth.Suppressing his breath, Gen chanted the incantation.Even without the barrier, Wataru's heart was beating violently but holding the barrier would be even more burdensome, his heart and lungs screamed. As soon as Gen's figure disappeared, the avatar put one hand on his hips and the other held the Sword of the Brave, squinting his eyes and showing a satisfied smile. Through the invisibility enchantment, move step by step.If you can get close to the clone like this, it would be great to stab him with a sword. Energy is being consumed.Eyeballs almost popped out due to suffocation.My mind went blank.Consciousness seemed to fly away without a trace. The avatar, who was standing indifferently like teasing people, turned its back to Wataru.Because I have become invisible, I thought to myself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Come on, come on! There are three steps, two steps.With one more step, the tip of the sword could reach the back of the avatar. When Gen raised his sword, the avatar turned around with a smirk on his face. "It's a waste of effort!" Following the mocking words, the sharp sword rushed over.Gen held the sword of the brave with both hands and held it high, his chest was completely unprotected, and was stabbed deeply by the clone's sword. Gen opened his mouth all of a sudden, and let out his choked breath.He still held his hands high, and his eyes slowly fell on the sword that stabbed him. Blood slowly oozes out, staining the shirt red.The avatar's sword of the brave pierced Gen's chest and sank into the hilt. Feel no pain.But, it's cold.It was as if the sword tip of the avatar had pierced Gen's heart, and the icy avatar poured cold air directly into Gen's body. I'm dying. Very boring conclusion.Lost to his clone here, bleeding to death. His strength faded away, and he fell to his knees.With his knees on the surface of the swamp, he sat down paralyzed.Both arms hang down, although still holding the sword of the brave, the tip of the sword shrugs weakly between the knees. The sword was drawn roughly from the wound in the chest.The reaction force caused him to fall down with a "boom". There was a sound of laughter.Make clone.At first it was a little trembling, but soon I couldn't bear it and covered my stomach and bent over laughing. "Poor fellow, miserable fellow. You're going to die." The clone turned around, turned its back to Gen, and began to walk back to the other side.His brisk steps danced up the stairs. He held the sword of the brave in one hand, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword. through. The precious jade embedded in the sword of the brave is calling. Hold on, Gen. Recall the voice of the goddess. can not fight. That double is yourself. Remember the words of the goddess. Gen stretched out his hand desperately, wanting to grasp the edge of waking consciousness before slipping into the dark abyss in his weakened consciousness. Call back. Call to the parted soul, the wandering one. The clone of Heng who is full of hatred. Apparition seen in Swamp of Sorrows.That's part of it.At that time, Gen really hated the man who was like his father, the woman who was his lover, and the baby they would give birth to.Then, he killed them with his own hands. It's just that you don't face the fact. Call back. Call upon the separated souls. Summon the clone that hates and kills people? Yes, that's right.Because that's what it is. He raised his head, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't use any force.Ahh, there is already a sea of ​​blood around. However, Wataru still supported his body with his elbows.The precious jades are calling: Gen, Gen, you can't die.You can't give up. You can't leave your double alone.Accept him, accept him. Finally sat down on the edge of the swamp.The clone almost disappeared in the lush grass of the wetland on the other side. "Hey!" Gen shouted.He mustered all his remaining strength to cry out. The avatar stood still, and then turned back, as lightly as a snake changing its body direction. "I haven't lost to you yet..." Gen's words made the smile on the clone's face disappear.The avatar swung his sword horizontally, and shouted proudly as he rushed forward: Accept it! close.Blast-like speed.The tip of the sword shines. He closed his eyes, and calmly spread his hands to the clone.Take a breath.Another splash of blood. But Heng didn't flinch.He appealed to his clone.Peace of mind.There is nothing to be afraid of.Because it was just calling him back. Summons spirits that have been separated from themselves. Come, come back! The clone hit Gen's body and disappeared without a trace in an instant.He is absorbed into Wat, and becomes one with Wat. The shock wave brought by the avatar messed up Gen's hair.The momentum made Wataru fall on his back. The Swamp of Sadness returns to calm. As soon as he opened his eyes, Genzheng was lying in a "big" character, looking up at the sky above.Beneath the body, one can feel the hard touch of the surface of the Sad Swamp. Gently raised his hand to touch his chest.The shirt is dry.Looking up his neck, he couldn't find a wound. The pool of blood also disappeared. Try standing up.The legs support themselves strongly. I live. A smile appeared on Gen's face.Warm gratitude washes over the inside of his body.Put one hand on your chest and feel your heart beating. Since the Swamp of Sadness parted, the "hatred" of Wat, who had been away all the time, returned, and finally returned to his hometown—War himself. Gen finally understood.In order to come to this arena, one must go through the gate.Of the five patterns that are the keys to open the door, except for the four of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, the fifth pattern that does not respond to anything turns out to be "hatred". For a long time, Heng always avoided it.I lied to myself and said: That's not my thing. Because I don't want to admit the fact that I hate my father.Because no matter what, I can't accept that I have such a mood.deceive yourself. However, this lie produces a clone full of "hate", a loner. "Welcome home." Wataru murmured affectionately to his heart. He sighed and stood up with a tremor in his voice.Put the sword of the brave on your waist. At this time, the mist flowed through Liuyi.There was no fog just now, where did it come from?Fog completely covers the water in Swamp of Sorrows.The mist is like a shimmering, quietly falling tear. Gen stared round his eyes. In the middle of the Swamp of Sadness, in the flowing fog, a black robe was left behind.Crumpled vestments.A corner of the cassock showed the toes of boots.A mess of hair appeared. It's Mizuru. Go up.Like running in a dream, you can't move forward.The legs are uncontrollable on the smooth crystal.Gen was so anxious that he swiped the mist with both hands, like swimming. "Meihe!" He shouted and rushed out, jumping towards the fallen Meihe.Initially nothing.His hands were just stirring the mist without touching anything.Although he could indeed see the black robe, it seemed as if he wanted to catch a shadow. "Meihe, Meihe!" Shouting and groping.At this moment, Meihe's entity became clear.It used to be just an image, but now it has flesh and blood.Focus takes shape. Soon, Gen embraced Meihe with both hands. Meihe's face was pale, and his eyes were closed tightly.His face was covered with bruises, and his arms hung limply.The legs stretched wildly.Left ankle twisted in an odd direction, probably broken. "Meihe, hold on. Meihe!" Geng shook Meihe's body, and rolled out the magic wand folded in two from under the black robe. This bloodless face, this limp body, and the pitifully broken magic wand convinced Wataru of the fact before him more than the miserable appearance of Mizuru in Wataru's arm. Meihe lost. Meihe is also fighting his own clone in the swamp of sadness for him.Meihe was defeated. "Meihe..." By now, Heng also understood.Although it was something he didn't want to know, he couldn't escape it, and he understood it. Meihe's solitary hatred grew far stronger than Meihe himself.Therefore, Meihe could no longer summon him back.Hatred defeated Mizuru Mami. I don't care what happens to the fantasy world? Just go to the Tower of Destiny. To this end, people and means are not hesitated. Determination.strong will.Mizuru is able to use the powerful magical power generated by the power of the jewel given to the "traveler" freely during the journey.Many people were hurt, towns were destroyed, sighs were left behind, and finally, the Mirror of Ever Darkness was finally unsealed. He thought it was all Meihe's doing.Not only Wataru, but Meihe also thinks that way.But reality is different.Whether it's destructive, murderous, trampling on others, or unscrupulous arrogance, these are not Meihe's things. It was done by a clone who bears Meihe's hatred.It's just because these hatreds are too similar to Meihe's mood, no, it's because Meihe deceived herself: she only has hatred, and she doesn't need anything else. Doppelgänger and himself. Like what Wataru had done in the first place, Meihe also wanted to defeat her clone.However, that can only be defeated by oneself. Genjiong suddenly shed tears, dripping on Meihe's thin chin. Meihe's eyelids fluttered and he opened his eyes. Gen couldn't speak, and tried his best not to cry. It took a lot of effort for Meihe's black eyes to hold back the pain and concentrate his consciousness, finally focusing on Gen's face. "is it you?" Gen nods.He kept nodding his head.Tears fell every time I bowed my head. "What happened to you?" It's not like being punished by the teacher for detention and complaining.This is Meihe's style. "It's all here...how did it become like this? It's outrageous." Meihe's voice was hoarse, and he thought he had only one breath left.His gaze was directed towards the sky. "I can see the Tower of Destiny. I have come to this point. But..." Gen said, can not speak.Gen held him, knowing very well that Meihe's body had been severely injured, and there was no way to recover. "Three Valleys," Meihe said.Gen looked at him, peeking into the clear pupils of another "passenger". "What's wrong? What did I do wrong?" It's not about running fast to reach the Tower of Destiny first.The elders in the village of Sakawa said so.Facing the ruins of Buliya listed, Ki Kima also encouraged himself, the goddess is still waiting for you. "Wherever he goes, I will follow him and never let him be alone. I have already made up my mind." Having said this, Mina, who stubbornly stayed by her side, finally broke up and hugged him tightly. , praying: Be careful, be careful. I have buddies.The light that illuminates my path is protecting me. Ke Meihe is alone, traveling alone.Even if he strayed, no one told him. Even if Meihe was willing to do this, it would be too unfortunate.Isn't it too cruel result? "I'm sorry." That's all I can say at the moment.Not to ask for forgiveness, but to let myself realize that it was a big mistake not to walk with Meihe.Even doing so against Rao's instructions. "Why are you apologizing?" Meihe wanted to laugh.Want to make a disdainful, strong smile. "You won. Be happy. Why are you crying? Until the very end, you... are really a good man." "What 'last', don't, don't say that." "I don't lie." Meihe suddenly became friendly. "I lost. I'm going to die here. I can't change my fate." He murmured in a low voice: Let it be your own fault.Meihe must have the same insight into all these things as Gen. "But I wanted to go to the Tower of Destiny." No matter what, no matter what, no matter what, I want to go. "I know." Gen said, "Even if other people don't understand, I understand, Meihe." Mizuru closed her eyes and smiled. "You go. Take Baoyu, leave me, and go." "No, I can't. I don't want to leave you alone." "Stupid, don't be sticky." Meihe's body convulsed, her breathing was difficult and short. "...I'll just stay by myself, that's fine." Not in a fit of anger.Just because he is Meihe, until the last moment, he must maintain Meihe's style. Even to die. Wat tried not to shake Mizuru's body, and gently and carefully put Mizuru down in the Swamp of Sadness.Meihe lost his support and lay on the ground with his eyes closed, looking closer to death. There was nothing he could do.Meihe wished to be left alone. At this moment, another scene appeared in Gen's mind: when he parted from Katz, in the silent woods—— "Meihe." "What's up?" "May I finally pray for you?" "What prayer...no need." "I want you to let me do it." Meihe opened his eyes.Hitomi catches him.Please, Gen said. "Oh, see if you like it." Wataru stretched out his right hand and took Meihe's hand.His left hand rested on Meihe's forehead. Remember the prayers? I vaguely remember it. "We are the children bestowed by God. We are about to leave the dust on the ground and come to your side." Meihe closed her eyes again.He caressed his forehead. "O source of our ancestors - O pure light. Guide this one on his journey." Gen held Meihe's hand tightly, interlocking his fingers. "Little boy, son of the earth. Do you repent of violating the will of God?" Gen's lips trembled, unable to speak.Once the words were spoken, the depths of the throat became hot.He desperately controlled himself: he couldn't cry again!Pause in the middle. Only the sound of chaotic breathing was heard.There was a long silence.At this time, the corners of Meihe's mouth moved. "Yes," he said.He answered the prayer, saying "yes", "I repent". Tears welled up in my eyes.Suppressing sobs, he continued to pray. "Do you repent of committing many sins of the Son of Man: sometimes quarreling, sometimes quarreling, doing hypocrisy, being blinded by foolishness?" After a short pause, Meihe answered "Yes". "Do you repent of listening to lies, obeying your own desires, and disobeying the glory bestowed by the Goddess on the Son of Man?" "……yes." Unable to hold back any longer, tears welled up in my eyes. "You have repented and your earthly sins are forgiven. Be at peace, Son of Man. You who have been called will be surrounded by eternal light." Tears flowed down my cheeks.Wataru finished praying while crying. "Vesna Esta Horicia. The Son of Man has a finite life, but his life is eternal." Meihe's thin cheeks slowly broke into a smile. "Last……" "Ok?" "Vesna Esta Horicia. You know what... yes, what do you mean?" Gen shook his head. "It means...'until we meet again' ah..." Meihe murmured, her eyes closed tightly. "goodbye." How many times have you said "goodbye"? This time it's a real farewell. Meihe's figure gradually blurred.The mist gathered again, slowly enveloping him, as if he was being embraced.Meihe melted into the mist.At the same time, the brightness of the mist gradually increased, absorbing and purifying Meihe's life. Gen was crying silently, kneeling, watching Meihe's outline become blurred and thin, at this moment, he noticed a light slowly shooting from above his head.It's the size of a palm, and it shines like a flashlight.The halo of light shone faintly, like an outstretched hand, descending very warmly on Meihe who melted into the mist. Meihe also noticed the light.His head in the fog moved, his face lifted slightly.The eyelids that seemed to be in sleep were slightly opened, and the small circle of light shone gently as if peeping into his eyes. This light—it’s—it’s, maybe… He couldn't help holding his breath for a moment of insight, and he felt a smile on the corner of his mouth.The wounded heart was suddenly filled with joy and relief. When you look like a person, it will become brighter.become the light shining on the ground.Until the time of reincarnation soon. This light must be Meihe's younger sister, at this moment Meihe's younger sister came to his side.The sister he wanted to bring him back to the present world no matter what, the sister he begged to save his life even if the fate was twisted. Come and meet him. Meihe also understood.He smiled slightly.The weak fingers moved towards the small aperture, as if to hold the little sister's hand. "Are you going with your brother?" Gen whispered to the aperture.The golden light flickered for a moment, as if nodding. Before it was too late, Meihe's figure completely disappeared and turned into a bright mist.The small golden light circle surrounded it, guided it, and began to rise quietly. Kneeling and standing, spreading his palms as if guarding a bird with weak wings, watching the light souls of the brothers and sisters soar towards the sky, and then soar. When it was all over, the fog that covered the Swamp of Sorrows disappeared.Tears dripped from his chin at the last moment. Gen picked up the magic wand under his feet, and the precious jade on the tip of the wand shone with lavender light.After a while, Baoyu appeared one point, two points, three points, four points—four light spots, rising high into the sky, as if following the beautiful crane. The last remaining spot of light floated at eye level.He drew the sword of the brave. Hero, both darkness and light are with you. The power hidden in the dark gem whispered to Gen. The last gem is stored on the star pattern of the sword of the brave. The powerful energy of the sword rushed to the tip of the sword, reaching Gen's heart through Gen's arm, giving Gen strength.
