Xiaolan looked at Xu Yiling lying on the bed in surprise.
"Master Tianshen," Rong Fa swept his index finger in front of her, "Why is this expression on his face?"
Xiao Lan regained her composure and saw Rong Fa winking at her. She turned her head and saw Ling covering her face in tears, with the wet letter falling on the snow-white quilt.
"It's mom..." In the cry, Deling's sobs can be distinguished, "That night... it was mom..."
Rongfa and Xiaolan looked at her silently.
Rongfa looked sympathetic, but Xiaolan's heart was very complicated.
The two waited slowly, and Ling's crying gradually became weaker. She raised her head and looked at her mother in the mirror with red eyes.
Then, she picked up the letter on the bed, folded it again, and stuffed the letter into the quilt.
"Sister Tianshen," Ling lowered her head and stood in front of Xiaolan, "Let's go."
"Walk?"
Ling nodded, "Well, I'll go with you. I'm dead. I don't belong here anymore."
Xiaolan and Rongfa looked at each other.
I didn't expect this child to accept it all so calmly.
Perhaps, at some moments she didn't want to admit, she already had some vague understanding of her current self.
"Don't be so anxious," Rong Fa said with a fake smile, "Little guy, you can stay here for a while, after all..."
Rongfa didn't say the second half of his sentence.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Rong Fa gently hit Xiao Lan with his elbow, bringing the absent-minded Xiao Lan back to reality.
"Uh... yes, Ling, what else do you want to do now?" Xiaolan asked, "If we can do it, we will try our best to fulfill your wish."
"Wish..." the little girl Ling murmured, "What other wishes do I have now... I hope... I just hope that my mother can live happily and healthily."
Almost as if by mistake, Xiaolan opened her mouth and asked, "Don't you hope that Auntie can continue to accompany you?"
Xiaolan ignored Rongfa's surprised look and looked deeply into Ling's eyes.
Ling thought seriously for a while and shook her head, "I still hope that my mother will be healthy. She usually coughs a lot. It would be great if she could stop coughing in the future."
Xiaolan's words were stuck in her throat.
"Sister Tianshen, brother Rongfa," Ling's voice was very low, "Can you please let me and my mother be alone for a while?"
Rongfa and Xiaolan walked out of the ward.
"Lord God, where are you going?" Rong Fa saw Xiao Lan leading him towards the basement and asked, "Are you going back?"
Xiaolan nodded absently, stepped down the two steps and asked, "Rong Fa, when you rescued Ling from her evil thoughts just now, you said you must not let Ling take her life. What's going on?"
"Lord God, you have never come into contact with evil spirits transformed by evil people. You don't know." Rong Fa frowned and waved his hand as if to wave away the strange smell in front of his nose. "I tell you, after all, I came from below.
Yes, you can see that we have met evil people, and the calamity of evil people and evil ghosts is not as easy as ours..."
Xiaolan raised her eyelids tiredly, "Are those who have killed people considered evil people and ghosts?"
"Not really," Rong Fa scratched his face, "but that's not a matter for us to judge. Among the hundreds of sins, taking human life is the most serious. This is the rule of God, and only the judgment given by God is
It’s the fairest.”
"Well..." Xiaolan nodded.
"Lord God, what are you asking me for?" Rong Fa squinted at Xiao Lan suspiciously.
Xiaolan didn't hear his question, but continued to ask, "What will happen if people like us carry lives on our bodies?"
Rong Fa stopped and looked at Xiao Lan who turned his head in confusion, "Lord God, why do you ask these strange questions?"
"I...I don't know," Xiaolan smiled stiffly, "I don't understand, of course I have to ask you. Let's go, the fish are still waiting for us down there."
"Lord God, you are not allowed to..."
"Yu'er!" Xiao Lan interrupted Rong Fa's words loudly and ran towards the corner of the stairs on the negative second floor, where the little girl was leaning against the wall and counting the steps.
"You're finally back!" Yu'er opened the iron door and welcomed the two of them in.
The injured children lined up waiting for Xiaolan's treatment. Rongfa hugged his arms and inspected these children critically, saying from time to time, "This kid, you can recover from your injuries. Don't trouble our Lord God."
"You kid, wipe your nose clean before you come near me... Lord God." It didn't take long for the minor injuries on the children's bodies to recover almost completely.
Xiaolan looked at the naughty and playful children, counted them in her mind, pulled Rong Fa over and said, "Rong Fa, you can send all these children away later."
Rong was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the children, "Then...are they willing?"
"They were unwilling before because they thought they could no longer be friends after reincarnation, but in fact they have the right to choose, don't they?" Xiaolan nodded when she saw Rongfa, and continued, "And there is no way for them to continue like this.
, they can’t be lonely ghosts forever.”
Rongfa didn't say anything, but he didn't seem very interested.
"You send ten more lonely souls to reincarnate, and you can go to the next life of your choice," Xiaolan made a fist, "There are eight children here, haven't you always wanted to reincarnate?"
"How do you know I only have ten left?" Rong Fa raised his eyes warily, "Lord God, did you check the booklet?"
"Isn't it right for me to care about you?..."
"Come on," Rong Fa raised his voice, "Lord God, are you planning something?"
"What can I think about?" Xiaolan felt guilty, "I hope you can realize your wish soon. Is it wrong? You... you finish things here for me, and I'll go up and see Ling and Auntie..."
"You are not allowed to do anything stupid!" Rongfa changed his usual attitude and directly grabbed Xiaolan's wrist, "Lord God, you cannot do stupid things."
"Where are you thinking?" Xiaolan smiled stiffly, "What do you think I mean? How dare I do that kind of thing? Okay, you can explain it to the children here, I can't handle them.
I’ll give it to you, I’ll run away first…”
Xiaolan took Rongfa's hand away, and it was obvious that the suspicion on his face had not disappeared. Xiaolan winked playfully and ran back to the stairs.
The white staircase seems to have no end.
Xiaolan felt that every step was heavy.
This matter is unsolvable.
Ling's wish cannot be realized no matter what.
The only difference is...
When she walked to the door of Ward No. 3, Xiaolan had already figured it out. She looked at Ling who was lonely in the ward, took a deep breath, and walked in the door.
Ling turned around when she heard the sound, her eyes and nose were swollen.
"Sister Tianshen," Ling stood up from the bed, "should I leave?"
"Wait a minute," Xiaolan rubbed the child's hair, "Brother Rongfa hasn't finished his work yet."
Ling picked up the mirror and said, "Then let me take a look at mom."
"Ling, why don't you write your letter to your mother again?" Xiaolan took out the letter paper from under the quilt.
"I……"
"Read it again," Xiaolan felt as if her chest was empty, "Maybe mom can hear it."
Ling held the letter paper and read the letter to her mother again.
"My most beautiful mother in the world, my most beloved mother..."
Xiaolan looked at Xu Yiling's sleeping face, stretched out her hand and touched her pale cheek.
Does it have to be this way?
"Please..." Xu Yiling's words still echoed in Xiaolan's ears, "Please... please..."
Xiaolan's fingertips moved tremblingly to the oxygen mask worn on Xu Yiling's face.
"If you don't help me, I can only use my last chance..."
Never be reincarnated forever...
Not allowed to be reborn.
Xiaolan bit her lower lip and tried her best to hold back the tears that burst out of her eyes.
The oxygen mask rose and fell slowly with Xu Yiling's breathing.
Actually I didn't have a choice.
A harsh beep sounded in the empty ward. Ling was interrupted by the sound and raised her head in surprise.
A figure slowly appeared in front of my eyes.
"Mom?!" Ling's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, "Is...is it mom?"
Xu Yiling smiled and sat up from the hospital bed.
"Ling."
Ling tentatively touched Xu Yiling's arm. It was real and touchable.
"Mother!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other deeply.
Rong Fa half-forced his last child to be sent to Tiandaosi, where he was reincarnated. The cries of the eight children nearly knocked him out. Rong Fa stretched out, put on a handsome gesture, and went up to the first floor.
He opened his eyes and walked towards Ward No. 3 with steps that he didn't recognize.
Then, he paused.
In the air, red fluff like catkins floated.
The corridor was filled with red fluff, which was rushing towards the exit of the building.
The fluff wandered away one by one without touching anything, and some disappeared in mid-air.
Those fluffs come from Ward Three.
The expression on Rongfa's face froze instantly.
He ran to Ward No. 3 like crazy.
Xiaolan looked at Xu Yiling's body. Before she died, Xu Yiling left the world with a satisfied smile.
Those red fluffs were continuing to pour out of his palms, and Xiaolan felt that something was gradually withdrawing from his body.
Rong Fa kicked open the ward door with a bang.
"Lord God..." Rong Fa looked at Xiaolan with difficulty, and then at the mother and daughter hugging each other, "What have you done?... What have you done?!... Your merits... these are all
It’s your merit!..."
"Ah, that's it, it turns out these are my merits," Xiaolan looked at the flying red fluff blankly, "Then I should have guessed it, because I heard them saying goodbye to me..."
"You... you killed..." Rong Fa pointed at Xu Yiling tremblingly, "You are crazy!... You are crazy!... Do you know what you will endure? Do you know what this means?... You are crazy
Already!..."
"I have no choice," Xiaolan shook his head, "God will know my helplessness, and God will make a fair punishment..."
"That's an ordinary person! That's the fate of an ordinary person!" Rong Fa shouted at the top of his lungs, "You are the chosen one! How can a person chosen by God violate God's taboos?! You!...you
!…”
Xiaolan's already cold heart became a little colder. She lowered her head. After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Rongfa, if you send these two away, you can be reincarnated."
The sound in Rongfa's throat stopped suddenly.
His eyes were almost open, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"I hope you will be happy in your next life." Xiaolan said.
The last word was said with tears.
Rongfa closed his mouth and looked at Xiaolan quietly.
Ling reached out to grab the floating red fluff, but couldn't.
Rongfa stared into Xiaolan's eyes.
"I have no next life."
Xiaolan was stunned, "Is it because of me?"
"You can think it's because of you." Rong Fa murmured calmly.
"But I haven't suffered a catastrophe yet. Logically speaking, I'm still a god. As long as you send them away now, you can still count yourself as having done it under my hands..."
"I don't want the next life." Rong Fa glanced at the mother and daughter lazily.
Xiaolan stared at Rongfa with wide eyes.
"But……"
Countless pairs of ghost hands suddenly appeared in the void and grabbed Xiaolan at the same time. Xiaolan struggled a few times but was unable to stop the falling force.
The surrounding scenes are disappearing.
Rongfa opened his lips and said something.
Xiaolan didn't hear clearly.
"Rongfa!..."
Xiaolan fell to the hard ground, surrounded by darkness.
Have you been arrested to face the judgment of heaven?
Xiaolan was still in a daze until she raised her head and saw the announcement screen in mid-air.
After a while, she remembered that she was in a game.
The feeling of loneliness and the fear of coming back to life ignited from the bottom of my heart at the same time.
Was that... really just a game?
At this time, several circles of red light flashed on the announcement screen, and a cold mechanical female voice sounded, "The seventh mission, the girl's prayer, the mission failed, the default prop - God's gift."
A force lifted Xiaolan's right hand, and a circle of green flames suddenly appeared on her wrist. The flames burned out quickly, and ashes fell on Xiaolan's pants.
The mission failed.
He failed to fulfill Ling's wish.
But at least... at least it's all just a game.
Just a game, right?
Before Xiaolan could recover, the announcement screen flashed again, and Xiaolan's F appeared on it.
There are still three levels to go.
Xiaolan took a deep breath.
Keep holding on.
Other players in the same group appear one by one.
Xiaolan stared at the series of F.
F's gradually appeared one by one. When the display was completed, Xiaolan counted them and found that there were actually 9 F's in total.
Between the letters is an equal sign representing a vague relationship. Xiaolan scratched her head, and at the same time, a female voice began to announce.
"The eighth mission, the missing face, is to find your lost face in the village at night."
Looking for a face?
Xiaolan touched her face and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Please remember that there is no limit to the form of this level, and there is no limit to the number of people who can pass it. Players can express themselves freely until they find a way to pass the level."
What does it mean that there is no limit on the number of people who can clear the level? Does that mean it is possible for everyone to clear the level?
It's certainly not that simple.
The strange success of the new task brought Xiaolan away from the melancholy atmosphere of the previous level. Xiaolan stood up and twisted her neck.
The performance in the previous level was too dramatic, which made me feel a little less like myself.
It was like someone was controlling her thoughts, her choices...
Xiaolan shook her head.
From now on, I have to really start to exert my strength.
