The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1194
[Chapter 223 Benjamin and Evelyn]
Remember for a second []
Annan still remembers that nightmare.
The nightmare of “Evelyn Miller” named “Reflection” belonging to Benjamin’s girlfriend.
He also remembered… The opportunity that made Benjamin want to become a superhuman and a wizard of the Dark Tower was Evelyn.
When Evelyn was a child, she had long drifting hair, a beautiful appearance, and a very soft body.
She can be called a natural dancer, destined to become Yaon’s darling.
Back then, she was in love with Benjamin.
And one day after that… Because of an accidental fire, Evelyn was suddenly disfigured.
Her face was covered with burn scars, and her fair, silky skin turned pink with atrophic scars.
She even lost all her hair.
As a girl who loves beauty and a talented dancer who takes dancing as her only life plan in the future, this sudden burst of despair almost ruined her whole life.
If Benjamin hadn’t stayed by her side, I’m afraid Evelyn would have committed suicide long ago.
At the same time, it is precisely because of Benjamin’s true love that disregards appearance and comes from the heart, that Evelyn can’t bear to leave.
At that time, she was obsessed with watching the dance of the “Dancer under the Moon” Pale Princess – it was an ominous spiritual dance that ordinary people would get seriously ill just by looking at it.
But it was precisely because of the love in Evelyn’s heart that she was favored by Princess Pale and gained the privilege of becoming a half-dead daughter.
However, Evelynn did not know the cost of being a half-dead daughter for a mortal.
The essence of this job-changing ceremony is to use beautiful life and love as sacrifices, offering it to the pale princess in exchange for the corresponding mysterious knowledge and power.
And to Evelyn, Benjamin was her whole life; her whole life was for Benjamin.
She immediately received the gift of extraordinary power of the highest standard.
And it wasn’t until this time that Evelyn realized one thing.
That is, if she continues this ritual, dedicates her life to the pale princess, and transfers her job to a half-dead daughter in the form of an undead, she will give up her love for Benjamin forever.
Evelyn believes that this is undoubtedly a betrayal of Benjamin.
When she was disfigured and lost her future, when
even her family was no longer close to her, and even began to fear and disgust… Only Benjamin did not abandon her.
Then, she couldn’t abandon Benjamin anyway.
But if she refuses the ceremony directly, she will die after watching the pale princess spirit dance.
– Take a step forward, lose love, and leave Benjamin forever in your heart; take a step back, lose your life, and leave Benjamin forever in your body.
This is a dilemma.
And Evelyn with her extraordinary talent and wisdom.
In the dilemma of choosing one or the other, Evelyn just hit the third way –
she didn’t want to choose anything.
She never killed herself in the future—and while she was dying, she persisted until her nightmare was programmed with her undead nature as her soon-to-be-daughter.
And in the end, she used the time paradox she weaved to seal her soul into her nightmare.
Keep repeating this “future me killed myself” story.
Because time keeps passing, the future will eventually become the present.
And in the further future there will be an updated Evelyn.
In this way… as long as this nightmare is not purified, she will not die completely.
Just like the sin pardoner in the gallery’s nightmare back then.
In contrast, every time someone purifies this nightmare, she will die once and feel the pain of being purified and torn apart.
Evelyn believes that the future Benjamin will come back to save her.
Because of the puzzle she set up, someone with the ability to time must be able to completely purify this nightmare.
The way to purify this nightmare is to sort out this infinitely overlapping time loop, find the thread at the beginning, and figure out “how on earth she killed herself from the future”.
Therefore, this nightmare can hardly be fully deciphered.
Even Annan didn’t know how Evelyn did it.
Also because she was trapped in a time paradox, the pale princess whose ability was completely related to time could not have any effect on her.
Neither her soul nor her newly acquired abilities will be taken away by the pale princess.
Only by acquiring time-related ritual abilities, magical arts or elements, can we find the girl who was hidden at the bottom of the timeline by many paradoxes… and rescue her again.
And according to the information given by Salvatore.
Annan gradually recovered the whole incident.
“You in the future… will find me.”
Evelyn, whose body was transparent like a ghost in the pale princess’ church, said to Benjamin.
But Benjamin, who was not an extraordinary man at the time, could not understand the meaning of Evelyn’s words at all.
Then, she turned into a spot of light and scattered… without even leaving a corpse.
This is a sign that she is about to be transformed into a half-dead daughter.
It is also evidence that Benjamin believes she is not really dead.
But Benjamin waited there for three days and three nights.
He was so hungry that he was dizzy and almost unable to walk, but he still hadn’t seen Evelyn come back.
He could only think that Evelyn’s ritual had failed – Princess Pale was not willing to accept her soul.
Or her soul has long lived in the pale tide, do not
^0^ remember [ ] for a second
before returning to the world.
So Benjamin was heartbroken and left here.
After that, Benjamin came back here every year with a green fire lantern.
See if I can wait until Evelyn.
He studied the skills of green fire and spread it to thousands of households… It was precisely because the green fire lit by the two in that gloomy church was the last memory of the two in Benjamin’s heart.
Young Benjamin can be said to be a show of talent.
Before he was thirty years old, he reached the silver level.
He has several convenient inventions and has a considerable degree of prestige among the masses.
The tower owner Hugo regarded him as a candidate for the son of the tower, with a handsome face and a good family background.
According to normal development, he would probably have married and had children long ago.
Maybe it’s because of chance, or…because the fate between the two is unfinished.
When Benjamin worshipped Evelyn one year, he was accidentally pulled into Evelyn’s nightmare.
When he woke up, tears were streaming down his face.
He clearly realized that Evelyn was still waiting for his rescue.
He also finally recalled that sentence, and with the extraordinary knowledge he had accumulated over the years, he guessed the meaning:
her ritual did not fail.
Evelyn was as the prayer sang.
He has become a “wandering dancer who pursues unconditional love, in the shell of imprisonment and life, and pursues beauty and freedom”.
To become a half-dead daughter, you must give up your “lover” – a half-dead daughter is only allowed to fall in love with the pale princess.
In other words, all the believers, apostles, and followers of Princess Pale are her lovers.
The price they paid for becoming Princess Pale’s lover, Princess Pale will pay back three times as much.
The value of this “love” is heavy, and UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is enough to make one go to the sky in one step.
But Evelyn resisted the temptation.
She didn’t abandon herself… It was precisely in order to keep that love that she wandered like a ghost in this eternal calamity that will never die!
In order to rescue Evelyn, Benjamin contacted Michelangelo, who was still the “Eye of Delay”.
He is the wizard who has studied the way of time most deeply in this world, and he is also the only known gold-level extraordinary person with “time” as the element.
After listening to Benjamin’s story, Michelangelo suddenly had an idea.
Since Evelyn can use the time paradox to continuously superimpose her future self into this era, so as to achieve the effect of “rejecting death”…
Then can he manipulate the time paradox… to achieve “death once, resurrect twice” times”, in order to achieve the effect of “double life”?
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading!
