Chapter 149: Inspiration - The Little Match Girl

~7 min read 1,310 words

Fear, panic, depression, terror...

Body temperature dropped rapidly, the body couldn't stop trembling, the blood color disappeared from the arms, and the soul seemed to be shaking.

Facing the door that was only ten steps away, he and Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha felt it. In the deep darkness behind them, something was watching them.

That was darkness, that was chaos, that was the deep ocean, that was... an evil god.

Both of them understood the current situation almost completely at the same time. The loss of control of the fish scale disease attracted an unknown evil god. He did not descend, but he was watching here, thus causing the abnormal characteristics of the environment.

This matter was actually not dangerous. As long as they left the range of being watched and gradually alienated, they would be safe.

The golden light traces on Xia De erupted, and the gaze from the high dimension slowly disappeared. Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who was trembling, almost fell, but was supported by Xia De again.

"Go quickly..."

Her emerald green eyes reflected Xia De, who seemed to be burning with golden flames. Xia De nodded and helped her forward.

And after that terrible gaze left, the door in front of them actually closed little by little.

"Sorry."

After a soft apology, Xia De directly picked up Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, but even so, the door still seemed to close before they arrived.

"Xia De, put me down, you yourself..."

A small figure appeared in front of the door. The fifth fishman, who had not appeared before, blocked the door, allowing Xia De and Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha to arrive at the door in time. They all saw that figure. She still had fragments of the clothes she wore last night, and on her legs, which were the only human characteristics, she still wore those shoes.

Xia De's hand grabbed the door frame, and the Divine Radiance expelled the power of whispering and blasphemous elements, so that the door would no longer close.

"She is..."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha covered her mouth.

Xia De supported the door, watching the small fishman leave the door and squat at the edge of the golden light on Xia De's body. It looked at them, and the rotten fish face couldn't see any expression.

It wanted to watch them leave here, but it couldn't leave here. The high-dimensional God was watching here precisely for it.

Xia De and Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha both stood still, and then, it was Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha who spoke first:

"We can't save her, let's go, Detective."

The blonde girl pulled Xia De's hand, her eyes slightly red. Xia De continued to pull the door frame, watching the rotten fishman. He knew he was powerless about this, and escaping with Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha was already the limit.

Turning his gaze to the outside of the door, there was moonlight outside. Xia De, who was particularly sensitive to 【Silver Moon】, knew that it was real moonlight, and the outside of the door was a safe place:

"But... I really want to save her."

"There's no way... we can't change all this. Detective, this is not a fairy tale, and not all things will have a good ending. We tried our best."

The blonde girl's tone was slightly sad.

"Reality is not a fairy tale..."

He understood this, so he didn't say the silly words about saving the girl's family.

At this moment, looking at the moonlight outside the door, he thought of a lot, from his hometown to here, from the current time to the past time.

He thought of his childhood in his hometown, the joy and sadness when he first read fairy tales. He thought of the melancholy belonging to adults when he told the story to the three children in this world.

From the outsider to here, from now to the past. Standing on the land under his feet, feeling the four elements running in his soul, thinking about the current situation, and feeling it personally, Xia De felt that he understood for the first time what kind of feeling that sad story brought him.

That was the feeling that touched the heart.

"This consciousness can affect the real world, maybe I am not powerless. Although I am weak, I can make some attempts."

He reached into Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's pocket, and under the latter's surprised eyes, took out the rolled-up parchment roll.

With the hesitation and touch in his heart, as well as the idea of "wanting to save," the paper roll actually burned in his hand. The paper page recording ancient fairy tales and having mysterious power returned the power of inspiration to him.

Facing the problem of the Old God, he had given an answer. At this moment, he gave that answer again:

"I want to save her."

In a trance, he actually saw the young man wearing a clown hat smiling at him, and Xia De understood what he was going to do.

Turning around, looking at the darkness with firm eyes, feeling the power emerging from the depths of his heart. Inspiration represents civilization. He came from another civilization, brought the story here, and re-understood the story.

Plus the precipitation of the power of "fire" obtained from the translated book—

Steam fog surged out, and the whistle and bell rang long.

The brass-colored inspiration light flickered on the Ring of Fate as never before. In this light, the letters of the Deraerion common language flew out in pieces, building the story that Xia De had never written in this world around Xia De.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha widened her eyes. The brass-colored inspiration light illuminated her face, and large pieces of letters were reflected in her eyes. She recognized it, that was "The Little Match Girl."

Facing the darkness behind him, letting the Ring of Fate appear behind him, listening to the whispering in his ears, surrounded by the story of his hometown. The story belonging to another world finally became a part of this civilization.

The power he possessed was not strong, but pure enough, because it belonged only to Xia De.

The sound in his ear rang at the right time:

【On a snowy winter night, the lonely girl lit four matches. Firelight, food, gifts, family affection. She left in the darkness, and she had briefly touched the light. And you, crave the miracle of saving everything.】

【You listened to the fairy tale you told, and you gained the inspiration of civilization.】

Golden light traces illuminated the surroundings, and the Ring of Fate behind him rotated at an unprecedented speed. Between the steam spraying, the letters suspended in the air gathered toward the Ring of Fate again, the brass-colored inspiration light shone, and all the words overlapped on the Ring of Fate, condensing into a brand-new power.

【Outsider, you have inscribed the brass inspiration spiritual rune - The Little Match Girl.】

On the scorching Ring of Fate wrapped in steam, the second ancient spiritual rune quietly emerged. The color of the shimmering brass spiritual light almost suppressed the 【Gluttony】 from the evil god's power on the side.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha looked at what happened in front of her in a daze, suspecting that everything since last night was a dream she was having:

"Even if you have done more excessive things in Lakeview Manor, this time is too..."

Light appeared from above, illuminating the front. The blonde girl looked up at the sky. The ceiling was gone. They stood outdoors. A huge silver moon that seemed to fall to the ground appeared in the night sky. Cold snowflakes fell on her face, and the snow drifted down.

She reached out to catch it in disbelief:

"It's snowing?" ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
