Chapter 430: An Infinite Cycle of Despair
- This time, I must save you!
In her heart, Xiao Lan strengthened this prayer.
Bearing in mind the defeat of his other self, he walked slowly and steadily towards the established battlefield with slightly heavy steps.
Already failed once, then...... There is no room for failure!
Xiao Lan really thinks so, and she also believes in it, and she moves forward with such an idea.
Just, will it go that well?
He didn't know, and he didn't want to speculate.
Things don't change by one's will, and sometimes, it's called an irresistible fate.
Xiao Lan desperately didn't think about this topic, but what she saw in front of her couldn't be ignored.
Fate, fate......
Almost exactly like the future he saw, he could know the way to his destination with his eyes closed, and when he walked through it, he could see the high platform, see Freddy and the space-time vortex behind him, and Caroline who was hanging in place against the suction of the vortex.
So far, nothing has changed.
And Freddy didn't seem to know that future, seeing Xiao Lan walking out of the corner of the passage, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the line that didn't change-
"You're here at last, knight."
Suddenly, the standing demon suddenly felt a little trance.
Looking at this completely unchanged development of events, he couldn't help but see the tragic and absolutely undesirable plain of death in front of his eyes: fight to the last man, fight to the last moment. In the end, he was submerged in the frenzy of death, and the whole world returned to the tranquility of death.
For onlookers, this may be a tragic ending. But for the person concerned, it is almost an abyss of despair.
Such a future, even if it is a mere possibility, is not allowed to exist in this world!
That's it-
Fate is used to break, even if there is no way out, you must open up the way forward with your own hands!
In this way, Xiao Lan remained silent like "the future". But he didn't wait for Freddy to finish the next two sentences, and when the second sentence of the Ghost King, which also remained unchanged, said a word, he held up a suitcase that suddenly appeared in his hand. It slammed it on the ground along with the rest of the second half of the sentence.
"Settle for me...... Pandora: Tremble! ”
An ominous glow swam, a translucent curtain of light instantly covering the entire space in front of him, and Freddy's hideous face instantly froze in place, along with the words that had just begun with his funny expression.
Calamity's Box......
With the power of "trembling". Directly imprison the space.
It was in vain that he entered the dream realm and stored an over-the-top calamity. At the cost of carrying the doom that is still within the bearable range, in exchange for the precise release that is now imperative.
The effect is significant, but ...... This is still the same.
In the foreseen future, another Xiao Lan also used this trick, and immediately chopped Freddy to pieces, but the result was that the power to keep Caroline from falling disappeared, and he entered a situation where he had to resist the distortion of time and space, and the ghost king also reappeared intact immediately. And finally led to the end of the plain of despair.
And since there is such a cruel lesson, Xiao Lan will certainly not follow the same old path again.
The force that keeps Caroline from falling. If there is no accident, it is rooted in the power of the Ghost King, so as long as Freddy is "killed", it will disappear, so it ...... Freddy can't kill, at least not before he saves people.
regarded it as a turning point to change the tragedy, Xiao Lan immediately resorted to practice-
Turning Pandora into a chain tied to a stone pillar, he grabbed the Ghost King frozen in place and jumped into the vortex of time and space, trying to rescue Caroline before the Ghost King awakened.
- If nothing happens, this should be a good plan.
He had taken Caroline's hand in a breath to take her out of the vortex, but the accident happened in a matter of moments, as if it were an agreement.
The ghost king, who was held in his hand and should have been imprisoned for a short time, opened his eyes suddenly at this moment, and was about to wave the ghost claw in his hand-
Unfortunately, Ghost Claw is not there.
Considering it as a worst-case scenario, Xiao Lanyou did such a thing easily.
And, of course, the emergency measures are definitely more than that.
It's a pity that he didn't do anything, and the sudden increase in a huge pull made him suddenly lose the ability to think.
The power that Freddy maintained was canceled by himself on his own initiative......
And under the sharp increase in space-time distortion and sucking, he couldn't hold Freddy in his hand at all, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost king fell into the space-time vortex without any suspense, but in the next moment, he appeared in front of Xiao Lan, and even the ghost claw in his hand had already returned to its original state.
History repeats itself......
To be exact, the future has ended.
Although there are subtle changes in the process, the end result is ...... Nothing has changed at all.
"Let go of your hand, as long as she is sucked in, the space-time vortex will disappear, otherwise you will be sucked in together~"
With the sound of the claw cutting through the stone pillar in the air, the immortal and immortal ghost king laughed, and the same ridicule that had not changed fell again.
Let go?
How is it possible to let go!
And so, they ended up in the same way.
But no longer from a third-person perspective, this time it's a real personal experience.
Falling from the vortex of time and space into the dark ages, without being prepared at all, the unstoppable necromantic frenzy of the entire army was attacked.
In just three days, the Necronomicon Legion had crushed almost all resistance, and the blonde knight closed his eyes forever in the arms of the old demon in the arms of the old demons on the plain of despair, surrounded by countless dead spirits and corpses......
How can such an ending be acceptable!
The moment this thought came to my mind. The world in my eyes was distorted again.
In a trance, Xiao Lan experienced the feeling of slipping again, and adjusted her falling posture in mid-air. Then it landed firmly on the wet solid floor of the stone tunnel.
――Actually、You're back?
The moment she realized this fact, what appeared in Xiao Lan's heart was not a fluke that could be done again, but only a nameless force pressed heavily on her shoulders.
This force is probably the so-called fate......
He was suddenly able to understand a little bit, Zheng Zha's feeling when he faced Lori.
Seeing the tragic death of a lover again and again, and then returning to the original point where the tragedy has not yet happened, this kind of spiritual torment will continue to accumulate in the cycle of reincarnation. Until it can no longer bear it and completely collapses.
There is no doubt that this is what Freddy really intends to do in this way, to create psychic holes. Completely rush into reality when the gatekeeper is in despair.
But even if this is known, the situation will not change much.
The way to break the game, he actually knew for a long time, was a very simple "let go".
Just admit Lori's death. Zheng Zha will be able to get out of the infinite loop;
Just let go of Caroline's hand. Xiao Lan will be able to escape from infinite reincarnation;
――But how can you let it go?
"If you give the dead a life that you shouldn't have, then you can only be truly liberated by killing yourself." Zheng Zha, who has done this, what kind of consciousness he has, Xiao Lan doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.
And for him, the situation is that "to enter this cycle for the sake of salvation, you can only be liberated by giving up". It's much easier than killing his lover with his own hands, but can he do it?
Can't do it. If he could let go, he wouldn't have entered this dream at all!
And even if you let go, the only thing that can be achieved is to get out of reincarnation, such a move that goes against your heart will inevitably produce serious mental loopholes, and Freddy's goal will be achieved no matter what!
However, things should not have gotten so hopeless that they were.
Zheng Zha's Lori is irreversibly mortal, because she is a dead person who should not exist in the first place.
However, Caroline's situation was caused by Freddy, and it was not an inevitable fate that was completely closed, and there was a real possibility that it could break the deadlock.
If he has the power to directly resist the distortion of time and space, there is no suspense in rescuing people directly, and if he can directly destroy the realm itself with one blow, he can directly solve Freddy......
In the final analysis, it's because of weakness.
If you can be stronger, if you have enough strength, then you can ...... Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
This body, which is seriously overdrawn to the elderly, does not have the power to change the status quo.
But even so, is it okay to give up?
I don't know how others will be, but Xiao Lan ...... He's going to try.
Even if he gets deeper despair, even if the probability is only one in a million, he still has to challenge and try, and he can't do it anyway if he has the opportunity but gives up!
And it was with this still firm idea that he once again stepped into the battlefield of his heart-
However, the reality is really cruel, and the trajectory of fate ...... It's still wrapping up.
Once, twice, five times, ten times, until I can't remember exactly how many times.
No matter what method he uses, as long as he intends to rescue Caroline, the support given by the Ghost King will definitely disappear, and he will inevitably face the sucking of space-time distortion, and then be forced by the Ghost King to make a choice of whether to let go or not.
He didn't let go once, so the desperate Plain of Death had forgotten how many times he had gone through.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have completely collapsed at this time, but Xiao Lan, who had enough will, did not collapse, but ...... But it has also become numb.
The mechanical repeats the cycle of reincarnation, the stubborn repeats in vain, seeking the miracle that is almost equal to nothing.
It wasn't until he grabbed Caroline's arm again that Freddy was sarcastic and pressed again, and in a daze, he heard a crying whimper.
"Enough, enough is enough......" (To be continued.) )
