Chapter 1286: One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Three · "TE·Will a wingless bird grow flesh and blood because of you?"

But Vaughn shook his head:

"What I mean is... the sacrifice was not successfully offered. The Goddess of Life has already descended. If we don't want to violate the [rules]... we must make up the sacrifice."

"Tianyu is of noble status, she cannot be a sacrifice, otherwise she will be retaliated by the sky plane. And the good-for-nothing Aini has a very low compatibility and cannot be a sacrifice. So it seems that there is only one person left."

"You say." He raised his head and looked at Su Mingan with his bright eyes:

"...Is that loser very lucky?"

Su Mingan opened his eyes slightly.

Vaughn smiled, holding the broken knight's sword in his arms, and the white source of life surrounded him. He seemed to have realized his own fate, and the smile on his face was full of anger and hatred.

“It seems like I have gained nothing in my life.”

"Everyone says that little Prince Vorn was born in a honey pot. He has a noble status, the love of his parents, and the loyalty of a knight."

“As a result, in the end, I was left with nothing.”

He stroked the broken knight's sword and touched the hilt with his forehead. That was where the palm of his hand grasped, and his knight had protected him with the sword for more than ten years.

But it turns out that it wasn't protection, it was just raising a sacrifice.

Until the very end, the knight's eyes were fixed on Si Que, and he could not see him. He was like a clown entertaining himself, expecting the lights of the stage to shine on him, and perform a farewell performance of fighting life and death with the traitor knight.

But the spotlight belonged to others, and he had nothing. When the stage was over, it was his turn to go to the execution ground.

With his forehead resting on the knight's sword, he seemed to hear the sound of the heartbeat more and more, one, one, and again... He remembered when he was eight years old and was rescued. The knight smiled and let him listen to the heartbeat inside the armor, and promised that this heart would beat for him forever.

But in the end, the knight's sword pierced his heart and forced him to the altar.

The story of the goddess and Si Que is moving, full of love and hate, tender and exciting. But the story of the goddess and him is dull and boring, with only deception, and he foolishly thought that there would be someone in the world who would love him at all costs.

Yes. Did he really think that the goddess would like an arrogant, confident, and irritable prince? Was it the moonlight song that Qi Jue played in piano class that bewitched him? Or was it the sunflowers that they planted together in the garden that bewitched him?

Eighteen years of living together day and night, and solemn vows - how could a god have mercy on humans?
"yes,"

“He is telling lies.”

His voice became hoarse, something stuck in his throat:
“…But I took it seriously.”

Su Mingan took a step forward.

He saw a glow emerging from Vaughn's body. It turned out that the knight's sword Vaughn was holding was a sacrificial instrument - his act of holding the blade was not a remembrance, but a sacrifice.

"But there's nothing I can do. I'm a selfish person." Vaughn kept looking at the knight's sword, as if he was talking to the air:

"I wanted that arrogant loser Aini to be the sacrifice, but that loser was such a rubbish that he didn't even have the necessary skills when he first stepped on stage. So it has to be me."

"I really want to escape, and it would be best if I could abandon all my responsibilities and run away, even if the entire undead world is wiped out by the rules. I am such a coward, raised to be selfish, but I am already within the scope of the rules, and there is no way I can escape."

There is no escape.

Everywhere he looked was a dead end, and his knight had pushed him there with his own hands.

Then, he looked at Su Mingan with a look of joy: "Idol, I like you so much. My room is full of your books."

Su Mingan said: "Do you want an autograph?"

Vorn: "I only want one wish, idol."

Su Mingan: "...you say."

Fu En is a prince, what could he wish for? To have a grand funeral after his death, to ask Su Ming'an to protect the country, or to ask for some special props?
By the way, Fu En said that his greatest wish is to be patted on the head by Si Que...

Su Mingan took a step forward and raised his wrist, ready to pat Fu En on the head.

But the young man lowered his eyes and said with a smile.

……

"My wish is..."

"If there is even a slight possibility... can you still... write about Qi Jue in the future?"

……

He gave up his own wish and chose Qi Jue's wish.

No one ever tried to save him.

But the goddess will.

Even if love is just a false deception, it did accompany his barren life and watered him with falsehood.

Su Ming'an didn't expect Fu En to make such a wish.

"He just took the wrong path, He just missed you too much. Give Him another chance, please write Him again... I don't know the principles of you creators, but the erased words can be written again, and the erased names can be copied again... Is that okay?" His eyes were slightly shining, and his short golden hair was swirling with a layer of orange-red glow. His calves were trembling due to physical exhaustion.

"I don't know." In the end, Su Ming'an could only give this answer. He really didn't know, and this was not a skill he had mastered: "...I don't know."

But Fu En said, "It doesn't matter."

He did not force it, but just lowered his head and kept muttering to the sword:

"Okay, okay, that's it..."

"No one cares about the whereabouts of a minor character like me, and no one cares whether I live or die. I just need to stop here..."

"If you keep talking about it, it will be annoying."

"That's it... Qi Jue."

He slowly closed his eyes, his vitality being continuously sucked away by the sword, and he hugged the black hole tightly, muttering silently.

"...Please take me away."

Take me away.

Leave this desolate and disgusting land.

Away from the sarcastic and teasing gazes of the ministers.

Away from his father's greedy and coveting eyes.

The white light kissed his body, the snow on the ground embraced him, his short golden hair was lifted up, the sunlight stayed on his eyelashes, and pieces of cloth and flesh were decomposing and disappearing in the silent ticking sound...

He had dreamed of knights countless times in his dreams at night.

The knight smiled, held out his hand, and said:

"The sunflower garden in your palace is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful one."

"And you also asked the gardener to plant the dandelions that I advised you to plant before. I'm flattered to see that you take such good care of them."

"But I beg your pardon for declining your offer to go for a walk with me. This is the only thing I cannot do with you."

Facing his questioning gaze, the knight put a finger in front of his lips and smiled mysteriously:

"…The reason is kept secret."

Now Vaughn finally knew the reason.

Because the knight just wanted to take a walk with a buddy.

All Fuen needs to do is grow sunflowers.

……

Tianyu raised his head.

This was the second snow she had seen today.

Most of the snow in the north is like this, warm and not intense at all, making people feel like they are being caressed and kissed by the fluffy snow.

However, the snow today seems a little hotter.

She stretched out her fingers, and a piece of snow fell on her fingertips. She could feel the warmth... the warmth coming from the little prince's body.

This is the sacrifice transformed into pure white flesh and blood, a warm and silent snow.

Then, she saw a purple figure striding forward and raising his hand.

——gently, gently touched the little prince's head.

Compassionately, tenderly, indifferently, habitually, yet unaccustomed to... stroking the little prince's head, fingertips retracted, movements gentle, like a god stroking a lamb, or like a person stroking another person.

"It's free to touch." Su Mingan said: "It's not a wish."

The little prince smiled, but this smile was not relieved, and even seemed unwilling:

"thanks, thanks……"

This can't be called a smile of relief at the last moment.

It even looks a little hideous and twisted, with a strong sense of self-depression.

He didn't even know how to face Si Que, who was his idol, but also the one who caused his knight to turn against him and caused his tragedy. But undoubtedly, he still admired her in his heart.

He used up his last bit of strength to move forward, stretched out his transparent hands, the knight's sword fell to the ground, and he grasped Su Ming'an's wrist.

Scalding, scorching, and like a piece of snow.

"Si Que..." He said:
"It is... the glory of the world... the shepherd of time... the beacon of life..."

"Every time my father touched my head, the look in his eyes made me want to vomit. Every time my mother touched my head, there was a mixture of love and hate in her eyes... She was jealous of me, but I didn't want it at all..."

"This kind of thing is hard to talk about. If others hear it, it seems like a huge shame."

"So, that's great. That loser Aini isn't here, so he won't have to see me in such a mess."

"Just tell him that I have left the Hell Plane to look for opportunities. I will definitely be able to do better than him in the future."

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

But there are too many things he needs to remember and too many people he needs to say goodbye to.

Vaughn gasped quickly:
"Humph... I sacrificed myself unwillingly in order to keep you all alive... This... is much better... than being a loser like him... Humph."

These were his last words.

It was neither a eulogy for the knight nor a blessing for the idol, but just a childish show of strength.

He is indeed a child.

Live innocently, live innocently, die innocently.

I was always deceived and thought I was loved.

Always immersed in misery, yet thinking oneself to be happy.

It was believed that the knights would always be by the king's side, but the king died because of the knights.

"Wow——!"

Su Ming'an's palms were burning hot, and he suddenly saw a heavy snowfall in front of him - the heavy snow blocked his vision, like a swan feather suddenly blown up by an air current, and the next moment, there was nothing under his palms.

Countless snow-white fragments floated in the air.

The boy's expression always shows a pure happiness, without affectation, complexity or hesitation.

Until it finally disappeared, his eyes were clear.

——That is a kind of pure happiness.

Su Mingan took a step forward and picked up the knight's sword that had completely lost its luster. The hilt was hot, and it seemed to retain the temperature of the boy's forehead. A sunflower earring was lying on the ground. It turned out that the boy had collected the other earring.

Under the same temple, in the same heavy snow.

……

—Did he overtake his knight?
……

【<汪星空视角>·2025年4月5日9:10】

In front of me is a bowl of steaming wide noodles.

“Delicious! Delicious! Chew, chew, chew…”

Chen Yuhang ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. The grandmother beside him smiled and said, "Is it delicious? You can just rest at my house and wait until those soldiers are far away before you leave."

"Yes! Auntie, let me tell you, the exams have become more and more difficult recently." Chen Yuhang complained: "In the past few years, the math exam only tested the Venus de Milo, and in recent years, conic sections and derivatives have become more and more abstract. I want to choose the full liberal arts, but no one wants me. Biology is tortured by Mendel, and chemistry is tortured by x and y. It's so annoying..."

There was also a bowl of noodles in front of Su Mingan, but Si Que had a very picky taste and did not pick up his chopsticks.

"Qins, can you tell me about your actions so far?" Su Ming'an said.

Qin Si had nothing to hide: "I am a member of the Eye Clan. Our way of survival is similar to that of a parasite. We absorb nutrients by possessing other people's eyes. My current body belongs to someone else. My true body is just my eyes."

This race sounds horrible.

"After the opening, I received the mission to quell the war, but I was unlucky and encountered a higher race. I was chased into the war zone, and ended up meeting you."

Su Mingan thought: "Just follow me first."

Although he had no feelings for Qin Si, he had to keep the wet nurse.

The three of them chatted for a while at the mother-in-law's house, while the gunfire outside continued. About half an hour later, Su Mingan suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, as if his skin and flesh were being gnawed and torn apart piece by piece.

……what happened?
Why was he suddenly in so much pain?

He quickly checked his body, and found no wounds, and his health was unchanged. So there was something wrong with the main perspective.

...What on earth is Si Que doing?
Before he could switch over, a system prompt suddenly popped up.

……

[TE4·"Will a wingless bird grow flesh and blood because of you?" (The Last Supper is shared by twelve or more people) Perfect clearance progress: 100%]

……

……what?
Si Que, what are you doing! ?

Su Mingan opened his eyes wide and immediately opened the book, trying to change the perspective.

Then, a chilling voice was heard.

……

"Ding dong!"
