Chapter 3642: Fool

Miss Halonen smiled at Xia De:

"If you are really that curious, then you can indeed get a new story.

You have already heard the beginning of this story. A girl from a commoner family met a young noble, and then both sides fell in love at first sight. This is a common bridge in many love novels. Many girls look forward to such a future, and I didn't expect the story to really happen to me back then."

She put down her handbag and signaled Xia De to sit down and talk, but seeing Xia De didn't move, she didn't insist:

"But although the beginning of the story was perfect, the subsequent development was not the direction of 'the prince and the princess living happily together.' We faced great pressure. Not only did he have to bear the pressure from his parents, but I also had to bear the pressure from everyone around me.

People who knew me were telling me either openly or secretly that I was unworthy of him. From family background to appearance, I didn't have any point worthy of him. My friends also asked me what point of mine attracted him. In fact... I don't know either."

That mature lady asked Xia De:

"Can you understand what I said?"

"So you are not confident in your love?"

"Yes, he still loved me, but I was worried that one day he would 'figure it out' and no longer love me. So in that sad and hesitant autumn, I met the temple and met Mr. Snake. And that gentleman gave me a chance to make a wish."

Xia De frowned slightly. This story happened more than ten years ago, which means that at least more than ten years ago, "Mr. Snake" actually had contact with the locals, which greatly exceeded his original expectations.

"You wanted beauty?"

Miss Halonen laughed:

"Why bother? Beauty is only part of the attraction. I made a wish that he would love me forever."

Xia De took a deep breath.

"Mr. Snake didn't try to deceive me. He told me a spell when I was still an ordinary person at that time, and told me that the spell could make him love me forever. It is a close connection on the level of fate.

But Mr. Snake also warned me at the same time that once I used the spell, I must pay the price. And from then on, we cannot be separated too far, otherwise our souls will wither."

Miss Halonen asked Xia De again:

"Can you guess what happened next?"

"In order to make him love you forever as he did at the beginning, you used that spell on him. And the price was the horse-falling incident afterward?"

"Yes, I originally thought that the one to pay the price was me, but it eventually turned into him. I only understood at that time that all gifts had already been marked with prices. I didn't want to hurt him, I was worried that continuing to stay by his side, he would die prematurely sooner or later, so I found Mr. Snake again. Mr. Snake gave me a second chance to make a wish."

"What wish did you make again?"

"I hope to let the person paying the price become me."

Miss Halonen looked at Xia De's face, seemingly recalling something:

"Mr. Snake agreed to my request again, and this time, he let me leave Fatumunster Island for ten years and go to other places to do some things for him. And as a reward, my separation from the Baron would not cause our souls to wither.

After ten years have passed, Mr. Snake will help me pay all the prices, so that we will never be separated. So I came back ten years later. The method Mr. Snake told me was to extract the spirit and soul of others, to dominate the bodies of others, and use this to pay the price for us.

I will soon achieve my goal, which is both my own goal and Mr. Snake's goal. By then I will leave this island with him and go to other cities to start a new life. I am very sorry that he waited for me for ten years, and I will use the rest of my life to compensate him."

She paused slightly:

"This is the new version of the story you want."

"Originally I didn't understand the Baron's thoughts, but now it seems that he is purely a victim, and you have become more disgusting in my eyes."

Xia De looked at her and said:

"I suspect you are the first mortal Mr. Snake contacted in this era. Do you know what that snake is? Do you know that I and others are looking for you because that snake took the initiative to reveal information about you?"

Miss Halonen nodded:

"Yes, I know what it is. It is precisely because I have witnessed the main body of the Great Snake and engraved that indescribable existence itself into my soul that I can have the power I have now. I cannot understand Mr. Snake's great power, but he gave me everything I wanted, including this appearance.

I also know that Mr. Snake told you my clues. This is what it told me in advance. Don't ask why, I won't answer this question."

Her face even showed an expression that could be called "pious":

"God will not respond to the prayers of humble mortals like me, but the snake responded to me, so I am also willing to help him. This is a very fair deal. As long as Mr. Snake's final task is completed, I will be completely free."

Xia De asked again:

"You still love the Baron?"

"Yes, I will always love him."

"Then when you are spreading the plague and absorbing mental power, and getting close to so many men..."

"That is not my body, and everything has to pay a price, right? Mr. Snake once said to me that fate is a double-edged sword. If you don't cut yourself first, you can't use the sword to get what you want."

"I rarely evaluate others like this, but you are too stupid."

Xia De said, so Miss Halonen laughed again:

"Yes, I am a fool."

She placed her palms facing each other in front of her, and then, between the two hands, a black ring emerged. There were star-like white lights in the black ring, but that deep black seemed to be able to absorb everything.

"She" whispered the content currently appearing on the "Fate Manual" for Xia De:

【You witnessed the "Ring of Fate - Fool", this is the fate of the blind and foolish.】

【Fate interpretation: Foolish people also have their own path, and the hope of fate is contained in the line.】

【Effect: Those who hold this fate have the possibility of grasping the miracle of fate.】

First it was the devil's "Resurrection," and then it was this woman's "Fool." Xia De even believed that if he hadn't dealt with the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 too quickly, Mr. Snake would probably have given that pseudo-human a Ring of Fate too.

She let the ring slowly merge into her body, and then changed from a leaning posture to standing straight:

"If there is time, I would like to chat with you again. You are really similar to him when he was young. But there is no chance this time. Perhaps we can find another snowy night and talk about our respective stories by the fire. I am curious about what you have experienced again.

Just hope that next time, there will be no more disturbances from your female companions."

"Do you think you can escape this time? If I didn't see it wrong, this is your main body."

The woman shook her head:

"The difference between me and you is that I don't care about the life and death of others, but you do. Please follow me."

She made a gesture of invitation, and then left the house with Xia De. After arriving on the street, there were people everywhere on the street at three o'clock in the afternoon, or rather, everyone on a whole street was staring at this door that had just been opened.

The residents of the apartment poked their heads out from the windows or doorways, looking at them expressionlessly; pedestrians stopped and stood as straight as lampposts staring here; carriages stopped by the roadside, and the coachmen, passengers, and horses all looked at the doorway; even the patrolling police stood on the street looking here.

Everyone staring here didn't speak, and everyone's eyes were empty. Even though it was daytime, this scene was too eerie. And Xia De was very sure that they were all looking at himself, not the Miss Halonen beside him:

"Mental control, right? Relying solely on mental power to control everyone on a whole street, you are indeed very powerful."

Miss Halonen reminded again:

"Not just mental control. If I want, I can make one-tenth of everyone here immediately turn into the 'Infinite Snake' you mentioned. Fate has infectivity. Although spreading the plague doesn't rely on the power of fate, fate also has the power of infection."

Everyone on a whole street became like this. Xia De believed that whether it was Iluna and Luwia who didn't know where they were now, or the Five Gods Church in the city, they would definitely react immediately.

"Although you might be able to escape this time, you should understand that you will be found by us again sooner or later."

Miss Halonen shook her head:

"It doesn't matter, the task is about to be completed. After this, everything has nothing to do with me. And I have also prepared to be found by you again. After all, there is always a price to pay, right?"

"Your current identity has been exposed. Baron Samir might encounter big trouble because of you."

But Miss Halonen still shook her head:

"Except for you and a few others, no one will remember who I am, and no one will know the story between me and him. Mr. Snake has already handled everything for me. Young man, Mr. Snake is fate, don't be an enemy of fate."

Xia De instead persuaded:

"Why not stop what you are doing now? If you are willing to cooperate with us to deal with Mr. Snake, I can give you a chance to repent and redeem yourself later, so that you can walk peacefully after death."

This is not a lie. If the other party is willing to cooperate with him, repent for her sins, and redeem herself for this, Xia De will not hand the other party over to "Desire" in exchange for any shield. This is actually the best choice, but clearly only Xia De thinks so.

Miss Halonen didn't say anything more, smiled at him, and turned to leave. The gathered people took the initiative to make way for her. Xia De watched her back and then suddenly took a step forward:

"Lagley's Jump! Adele's Time Stop!"

The power of time and space was displayed simultaneously under the incomparably silent sunset. Xia De, holding the mask, pressed the mask on the back of the woman's head in the next instant as she stood frozen. The hissing sound had already appeared beside him, and some people around were showing the appearance of snakes, but Xia De didn't pay attention to it.

It's just that after the mask was buckled, there was no effect. After Xia De turned the frozen woman around, he saw that the face was not the face of the woman just now.

"Remember? Snake gave me the fate of 【Fool】. Maybe in your eyes I am courting death, but at least I really have the ability to grasp a glimmer of hope. I am everywhere. As long as someone has a good impression of me, anyone could be me. The superposition of time and space may indeed be better than fate, but the problem is, are you really sure you saw my main body?"

Another woman with snake pupils beside him spoke at this moment.

Xia De took off the mask. Including the woman who spoke just now, everyone staring at Xia De dispersed, and the quiet street became noisy again. They continued their respective things as if nothing had happened just now, leaving Xia De standing in the center of the street looking into the distance:
