After watching the Undead Lord finish his lines, he turned into a white light and reincarnated. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart."It's the game company's prank again. If you say you want to hang up, then hang up, but you have to finish your lines before hanging up. Isn't that too pretentious?”However, no matter what, the Undead Lord died and left behind a gray, worn-out sheepskin scroll on the stone chair it was sitting on. Without a doubt, this was the Sun Returning Forbidden Spell that we were looking for.
I was really curious about it. I wanted to open it and take a look, but I realized that the goatskin scroll that was tied with a thin rope couldn't be opened no matter what. After trying again to no avail, I could only give up and give it to Rou Yu…
"Ruthless, I've leveled up…I didn't expect to level up so quickly.”Soft Rain smiled excitedly at me, but it made me extremely depressed. Her level naturally rose quickly, and even if I killed a BOSS like the Undead Lord, the experience I gained was not enough for me to level up.
"Let's go, it's time to go back…this Undead Lord is really stingy.”After picking up the loot on the ground, I pulled Soft Rain out of the cave. Once we left the cave, we used a teleport scroll to return to the Novice Village. Coincidentally, it was already evening when we returned to the Novice Village…When we arrived at the village entrance, Brother Ah Niu excitedly welcomed us.
"Hero, may I ask if you've already obtained the Sun Returning Forbidden Spell?”
"Yes, we've already obtained the 'Sun Returning Forbidden Curse'.”Rou Yu handed the old sheepskin scroll to Brother Ah Niu.‘Brother Ah Niu's hands trembled as he took the old sheepskin scroll from Rou Yu's hands and said incoherently," It's him…It's him…" Then, he rushed into the wooden house at the side without saying a word to us.
" Let's follow up and see if there's a follow-up story…" I said after exchanging a glance with Soft Rain. Rou Yu also nodded and followed me into the wooden house. The furnishings in the wooden house were very old and ordinary. There was nothing worth paying attention to. After passing through the wooden house, we walked out from the back door and realized that there was a different world behind the wooden house."It's another game company prank."
It turned out that there was a large open space at the back door of the wooden house. However, if you looked at the wooden house from the outside, you would see that behind the wooden house was a fence that surrounded the entire novice village. How could there be such a large open space? However, now wasn't the time to think about this. After passing through the back door and arriving at the empty space, we saw 'Brother Anu', who was standing under the night sky. Because his back was facing us, we couldn't see his face. At the same time, we heard' Brother Anu', who was chanting an unknown incantation. It was so muffled that we couldn't hear what he was chanting. However, Rou Yu and I suddenly felt that the originally ordinary backyard was filled with a sinister and terrifying atmosphere. Then, before Rou Yu could ask what was going on, an extremely strange scene appeared in the open space...
I only felt a chilly wind blowing around me, making sounds that were as terrifying as the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves. My scalp went numb. Then, I saw a light green dot appear in the night sky. The dot kept expanding, and the strange spiral in the dot looked very much like the space-time tunnel that was often shown on television. However, in this situation, coupled with its original light green color, it looked more like a tunnel to the Underworld. The result was that my guess was right. This was indeed a tunnel to the Underworld. Because the already dead Little Chrysanthemum was walking out from there step by step…At this moment, Little Chrysanthemum had already returned to her human form, without that terrifying half of her face.
" Resurrected! Resurrected! That's great! We're finally together…" Rou Yu hugged my arm and said excitedly.
"..." I smiled and didn't answer because my sixth sense told me that things weren't that simple.
" Little Ju…Little Ju…You're back, you're back…This is great, this is great…"'Brother Ah Niu' looked at the smiling 'Little Ju' and went up to her in ecstasy, hugging her tightly in his arms…" Little Ju, are you okay? Why aren't you saying anything?" Although Brother Ah Niu was overwhelmed by the joy of his lover's resurrection, he instinctively noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Ju. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Little Chrysanthemum's face, causing my heart to tighten. Beside me, Rou Yu's delicate body couldn't help but tremble. Clearly, she had also seen Little Chrysanthemum's strange expression.
Suddenly, with a strange smile, Xiao Ju grabbed Brother Niu's neck. The panic-stricken Brother Niu struggled, but Xiao Ju's strange strength not only made all of Brother Niu's resistance useless, but also lifted him more than ten centimeters off the ground.
"Why?" Brother Ah Niu 'squeezed out these three words with great difficulty.
" Because the Nether King said one person for one person. My lifespan is up. If you forcefully pull me back to the world of the living with the Sun Returning Forbidden Spell, you will have to pay with your lifespan. Brother Anu, I know you have loved Little Chrysanthemum since you were young, so please go in her place." Little Chrysanthemum's beautiful face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and the words she said were even more chilling.
"Ah!" Hearing this, Rou Yu woke up from her shock. Just as she was about to rush forward to save Brother Ah Niu, I pulled her back.
"..." Rou Yu looked at me in confusion. She didn't understand why I stopped her.
"Look, Brother Ah Niu didn't ask me to save him, did he? With the help of the green light, we could already see his face in the darkness. We could clearly see that Brother Anu had given up struggling. His eyes were dull but gentle as he looked at Little Chrysanthemum who was strangling him. At this moment, Rou Yu finally understood. Brother Ah Niu was waiting for death. He hoped to use his life to continue Xiao Ju's lifespan.
"Why did it end up like this? "It shouldn't be like this…" Soft Rain buried her face into my arms and sobbed.
"..." I really didn't know how to answer Rou Yu's question. Should I tell her that 'this is the will of the heaven'? Or should he say,'That's life, it's filled with helplessness everything'? As for Rou Yu, who was born into a wealthy family, she would be protected in an ivory tower for the rest of her life. She would never understand how helpless life was, and these 'helplessness' were the culprits of those tragedies.
Just as Rou Yu and I were about to 'watch from the sidelines' as a tragedy occurred, the scene changed once again. The originally ferocious expression of 'Little Chrysanthemum' slowly changed. Her grip loosened and 'Brother Anu' fell heavily onto the ground on his butt. "Why…Why did you do this?”‘Xiao Ju's eyes were filled with tears and no longer had the killing intent from before. She asked with a sad and resentful expression.
"Cough cough ~~~ Little Ju, I cough cough ~~~ As long as you can come back to life, I'm willing to do anything, even if it's just cough cough ~~~"'Brother Anu' coughed hard and continued to say.
"Even if I die? Why are you so stupid? You know I can't do that…I can't do it.”‘Xiao Ju shook her head and tears fell like pearls that had been cut short.
"No, no, no…I don't care. I just want you to live. As long as you're alive, I can give you everything.”‘Brother Ah Niu shouted excitedly.
"How can you be so selfish? Do you know how painful it would be if I was the only one left in this world? You actually want me to face the loneliness of the future alone!! " You're so cruel…" Xiao Ju shook her head and smiled bitterly.
" I... I..." Brother Anu's brain didn't seem to be as good as his appearance. Xiao Ju's unreasonable questioning made him speechless for a moment.
" Sorry to trouble you guys…"'Little Chrysanthemum' came to us and bowed politely. She spoke in an apologetic tone.
" No, we're sorry. We still couldn't help you..." Rou Yu said with a sobbing tone.
"No, no, no…you guys have already helped us a lot. I got this in the Underworld. If you don't mind, please accept it ~" As she spoke, a black skull ring suddenly appeared on Little Chrysanthemum's hand. From the outside, it looked like something from the Underworld. After handing the ring to Rou Yu, she gave us a beautiful smile and walked towards the tunnel…
"No ~~~ Don't go,'Little Chrysanthemum.' You said that I was selfish and cruel…Is it not selfish and cruel to leave me alone?”‘Brother Ah Niu knelt on the ground and roared at Little Chrysanthemum.
"..."'Xiao Ju' was already standing in the tunnel. She only smiled gently at Brother Anu's question and replied,""This is love, not selfishness…If I stay, that would be true selfishness.”
"No…" As 'Brother Anu' roared towards the sky, we could only watch 'Little Chrysanthemum' float away…At this moment, the vast open space became so quiet except for 'Brother Anu's' deep sobs. Rou Yu hugged my waist tightly, as if she would let go of me and 'Little Chrysanthemum' floating away. My heart was at a loss, and the words 'Little Chrysanthemum' left behind before she left kept flashing in my mind…Not selfish…Love, not selfish…Isn't love selfish? Am I wrong?"
"Ruthless…Ruthless…"
"Hmm? What is it?" I was awakened by the gentle rain beside me.
"What's wrong? "You've been out of your mind ever since you came out of Brother Ah Niu's house…" Rou Yu asked worriedly.
" Oh…nothing, I was just thinking about something…" I smiled and hid my thoughts. After we tried to persuade Brother Ah Niu, we left the wooden house. Then, the door closed automatically. We knew that this also announced the end of Brother Ah Niu's chain mission.
" This is for you…" Rou Yu stuffed the ring that Xiao Ju gave me into my hand.
" But…" I was about to refuse, but I was stopped by Rou Yu…" She doesn't come online often, so I'll let you use this first. Just take it as keeping it for me."”
"Alright then." Seeing how insistent Rou Yu was, I could only accept it first. I planned to return it to her after the appraisal was done. "It's getting late. I should go. Otherwise, it won't be good if my mother finds out. Also…I had a great time today. Bye!!”Soft Rain unexpectedly 'flicked' my left cheek, then before I could react, she smiled and logged off, leaving me with a dazed expression.
