Chapter 217: Ghost in the Magic World - Ending (2)
And she basically had no more hope whatsoever in this world.
It’s pathetic and Shang Kui knew that.
But she couldn’t help it.
She couldn’t do it anymore and she didn’t want to watch her own life dying again and again.
Perhaps if her personality was stronger, she would have a chance to do something for the world and for those around her. But considering her strained relationship with her family and everyone around her, Shang Kui couldn’t get any motivation to do so for them.
The existence of Jun Lin was nothing more than a matter of crush when she was younger because he saved her life.
It’s just a little incident not worth mentioning, though.
For adults, it was a small children bullying.
But for Shang Kui, the arrival of Jun Lin who helped her was like a ray of light.
Coupled with the mockery and bullying that she received afterwards, his behaviour was a kind of consolation.
Love?
Not quite.
What kind of elementary students already thinking about love so early?
At most, she just thought that there were still some kind people out there. So while she had some crushes on Jun Lin, she never tried to step forward and entered his life.
Her own life was already messy enough.
There was no need for her to add more trouble both for herself and for him.
Later on, her life was filled with nothing but despair.
With every little thing she had was taken away, Shang Kui had long accepted her ending.
So why?
Why did the Time and Space Administrator have to come and approach her afterwards?
Shang Kui knew that her mental state was not stable, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Believing herself to be useless, she refused to take step forward and took charge of her life.
Besides...
If the Time and Space Administrator could make a good use of her life for something good, then Shang Kui had no complaints.
But the Time and Space Administrator has always been fair.
It’s an agreement between two parties.
So it was absolutely impossible for them to take advantage of Shang Kui and they gave her the chance to continue her life after the tasker had already finished her work.
In this way, Shang Kui didn’t have to face the terrible world on her own and being constantly ’brainwashed’ again.
No matter what, her life should be her own.
Even if someone else helped her to do other things that she thought that she couldn’t do, it was only a temporary solution.
Shang Kui watched it all.
She watched as Xiang Kui controlled her body, stepped forward to make her first request, and took a completely different approach.
Xiang Kui behaved in a way that Shang Kui would do.
Because this is the only way to make sure that she wouldn’t be OOC.
Though...
It was nothing more than a temporary one.
At the end of the day, Shang Kui was the one who had to make the decision for her own life.
So after some time, Xiang Kui left.
Shang Kui opened her eyes and sensed her body’s feelings once more. The training that Xiang Kui did was only to ensure her own physical strength would not dwindle. She didn’t purposely turn Shang Kui into a training maniac.
After all, it was enough like this.
Shang Kui’s own talent and ability were actually strong enough, but she never knew how to use them properly. Moreover, Shang Kui has always been scared and timid in her personality.
Xiang Kui didn’t change Shang Kui outrageously from her original personality.
She just gave her more options.
Options that will give her the greatest chance of survival and comfort while at the same time avoiding various conflicts.
But whether she truly wanted to stand up for the entire world or not... Xiang Kui left the decision back for Shang Kui.
At this moment, Shang Kui would be lying if she said that she didn’t feel complicated.
It was not like she didn’t see other taskers’ attempts to change her life. They tried their best to make sure that they could solve things for her.
But at the end of the day, they would go OOC rapidly.
Because the real Shang Kui wouldn’t do that.
Once a mission failure happened, they would be deported out of the mission world and everything they did would be nothing more than illusion.
Or perhaps the word simulated would be more correct.
Only if the tasker performed in accordance to Shang Kui requirements would the reality be altered and she could continue on with her life.
Just like this time.
It could be said that Xiang Kui performed far beyond Shang Kui’s expectations.
It was so good.
In fact, it was too good to be true to a certain extent.
But Xiang Kui didn’t go OOC.
Even though the percentage was not 0, but if it had been 0, it meant that nothing has changed.
So this result is definitely the best result.
Shang Kui looked around.
The ghost appearance was very familiar for her as she had been fighting against it for so many years.
The pain and agony, the distrust and disdain, everything was etched deep inside her memory.
Humans were good at forgetting.
But not everything could be forgotten.
And even if they could forget, it would never erase the wound that had already happened before.
Shang Kui was afraid of making mistakes.
But the more she was afraid, the more she would make mistakes after mistakes.
This repeated again and again, making her life more miserable.
Now...
Shang Kui wouldn’t say that Xiang Kui made her an amazing person or anything like that. It was more like she was given the chance to live a free life.
A life where she had no need to worry about making mistakes.
The anxiety she felt when she did something only to find out that she had done something wrong was truly agonizing.
She didn’t like that kind of life.
