CHAPTER 309 (2/2)
Facts proved it was fine. Jiang Xie who could use skills was like a giant chat affecting the existence of the game balance.
Thus, they saw the ins and outs of the story.
It was reasonable to say that if this wasn’t Jiang Xie and other people were doing the task, there would still be grinding to find the answers.
The girl and the old woman didn’t exchange their bodies but the old woman was indeed Nalene and the girl was Nalene’s mother.
Putting aside all the fog, the truth was upsetting.
Nalene’s mother, Lina was a very beautiful woman who wanted to leave the village and marry someone in the city.
However, Nalene’s father forced her to marry him.
Soon, Lina became pregnant and the nightmare started from this time.
After the pregnancy, Lina started to become ugly. She didn’t love her husband or the poor village life. She yearned for the city, yearned for prosperity and longed for the life of the rich.
She was forced to stay in the village and became uglier because of her pregnancy, causing her to feel resentful.
She hated Nalene’s father and more so, the unborn Nalene.
Nalene was born and Lina soon discovered the beauty of her daughter.
She didn’t love the child and even felt that the child had stolen her beauty.
Nalene’s father was also a jerk. After seizing Lina and taking advantage of his power in the village, he spent all day drinking and acting willfully.
Lina hated him more and more.
After another act of violence against her by Nalene’s father, Lina fled.
However, she was caught before she left the village and this was followed by more brutal abuse.
Lina was locked up in the dungeon and in the midst of her endless resentment, she discovered a secret passage hidden deep in the dungeon.
There was a black book with some writing in it.
As long as she followed the instructions, she could make her dreams come true.
Lina tried to collect the materials and cast the spell.
The spell was successful and Nalene’s father was jailed for a murderous crime in the city. Her lost beauty came back but her daughter Nalene became a sacrifice, suffering by aging.
The 40 year old Lina became a young girl of 15 or 16.
The young girl of 15 or 16 became an 80 year old woman because of her mother’s curse.
Did Lina’s dream come true? No…
She soon discovered a new tip in the black book. She had to eat a fresh heart every day to maintain her youthful beauty or she would grow old overnight. She saw the ugly look of the 80 year old Nalene and didn’t want to be like that.
Thus, disaster struck.
Xie Xi frowned after seeing these memories.
Jiang Xie told him, “The task is completed as long as the book is destroyed.”
The crux of everything was the book and it would be over once it was destroyed.
Xie Xi looked at the old Nalene with a strange feeling in his heart.
Jiang Xie took his hand.
Xie Xi glanced at him. “I don’t care.”
It was a collapsed quasi-world. Many bad things happened and there was a lot of despair.
Jiang Xie quickly found the black book.
Xie Xi went to Nalene, crouching in front of her and gently wiping the tears from her cheeks. “It’s okay, it’s fine.”
From start to finish, Nalene was the most innocent one.
She had no choice to be born in such a family with such parents.
She grew up with her father’s violence and her mother’s resentment, still clinging to the warmth of a family.
In the face of her mother who gave her countless pains and disasters, she finally spoke in her old voice, ‘Don’t… don’t hurt Mother.’
The girl was broken and she long had blood-covered hands under the control of Lina.
Her mind wasn’t sound because no one had ever given her a healthy environment for growth.
Yet she still knew how to love.
Her loving nature made her sadly attached to such a cruel and selfish mother.
After destroying the black book, the spell was lifted and Lina grew old and died.
Nalene was restored to the appearance of a young girl and fell asleep.
Xie Xi asked Jiang Xie, “Can you erase her memories?”
“Yes.”
They erased Nalene’s memories and sent her to a seaside village thousands of miles away, giving her a new beginning.
The mission was over.
Jiang Xie and Xie Xi returned to the garden.
Seeing that Xie Xi was still slightly frowning, Jiang Xie opened his mouth. “Now time, I won’t pick up Old N’s quasi-worlds. What broken tasks are there?” It made his family unhappy.
Xie Xi wondered, “Are your tasks good?”
In addition to imagining many things, their brains liked to make him a slag!
Jiang Xie replied, “How is it bad? My words are all about you.”
Xie Xi’s heart sweetened and the shadows in his chest were scattered.
He opened his system panel and clicked on the data column.
“In fact, I’ve always wanted to know.” He pointed to his father’s column and asked Jiang Xie, “Who is my father?””
His mother was Xie Su but his father was a fog that couldn’t be shown.
Jiang Xie had never seen his data and at this moment, he made a strange expression.
Xie Xi was aware of it and glanced at this person.
Jiang Xie stared at the fog. “It’s… a player’s ability to hide his or her own information.”
Xie Xi was stunned. “A player?”
Jiang Xie nodded. “Yes, advanced players can purchase an item. Once used, Central will hide their information.”
Xie Xi jerked. “You mean…”
“Your father is probably a player of Central.”
Xie Xi’s back was tense as he asked, “Then he… he…”
Jiang Xie kissed him on the forehead. “I’m sorry, he might’ve passed away.”
Xie Xi froze.
In fact, he had thought about it. Once he knew the rules of entry to Central, he knew he had no parents.
Only those who were abandoned could come to Central. Xie Su gave up on him and his biological father gave up on him, causing him to come to Central.
His father’s life and death had become meaningless from the moment he entered Central.
Jiang Xie saying he was dead was probably to comfort Xie Xi.
Xie Xi leaned against Jiang Xie. “It’s fine, I’ve very good now.”
It was because he was abandoned and lost everything that he met Jiang Xie. Losing didn’t mean an ending. This was a new beginning.
-【 The End ]-
Author’s Note: Every time I finish a story, I feel very sad. The story of Old Jiang and Little Rose might be over but their lives are still going on. We can’t see it but they are still repairing the collapsed worlds, bringing warmth to misery, bringing light to the darkness and bringing hope to despair!
