I open a farm in the doomsday: I take in a female coach at the beginning

Chapter 258 The Truth

At this point in the story, it basically has nothing to do with Jiang Chuan.

But it doesn't have much impact. After all, this has been a "story" mode rather than a "game" mode from the beginning. Jiang Chuan is just a player, or a bystander, who follows the story flow to explore and solve puzzles.

All of this is a story that happened in another world long ago, and it is the story that Twenty-Four wants to tell himself.

So Jiang Chuan reached out and pressed "Yes", then folded his hands across his chest, quietly waiting for the next plot to unfold.

As a ray of light flashed, the protagonist directly used a holy-level spell that no one had figured out for hundreds of years. The light in the room appeared out of thin air, becoming brighter and brighter, and finally turned into starlight.

I thought it was over, but the next scene shocked Jiang Chuan even more.

However, the specks of starlight did not scatter, but gradually converged and condensed in the air in the room, and finally turned into several human-shaped figures!

One of the figures seemed familiar to Jiang Chuan; it was the protagonist's wife.

At this moment, the woman was lying on the bed, her legs spread apart, trembling constantly, opening her mouth from time to time, as if she was screaming in pain. There were two or three women around her, holding various basins and towels in their hands...

She's already given birth?

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chuan also understood that this so-called magic seemed to be a kind of time and space magic that could reproduce some scenes that had happened here before.

To be able to do this...

Jiang Chuan also realized that the so-called "magic" in this world seemed to be more terrifying and profound than he had previously imagined.

The scene continued to play, like a holographic VR movie. The woman was lying on the bed struggling in pain. Even Jiang Chuan, who had no similar experience, could see that this was definitely not a normal birth.

Looking at this scene, even Jiang Chuan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

The scenes in the previous chapter subconsciously appeared in his mind. Although he himself had no connection with the woman in this story mode, it was like playing a beautifully illustrated h oil game. Seeing the woman who was once so charming in bed now suffering this disaster, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The scene formed by the gathering of starlight became more and more chaotic and more and more difficult to distinguish.

Finally, after a burst of chaos, the crowd dispersed instantly, and the midwives picked up a small figure formed by the gathering of starlight from under the woman.

Although the process was thrilling, in the end both the mother and the child were safe and sound.

However, at this moment, the picture seemed to freeze.

Jiang Chuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but frowned, thinking that this thing could be stuck? But then he found that it didn't seem that the picture was stuck. The woman lying on the bed had completely lost her strength, but it seemed that her chest was still rising and falling.

The midwives who were holding the babies around them did not move, but their shoulders were shaking unconsciously... as if they were in fear.

What are they afraid of?

When Jiang Chuan moved closer to them and saw the little child surrounded by midwives, he immediately understood the source of their fear.

I saw that the child's figure, which was originally formed by dots of white starlight, was somehow stained with wisps of dissipated black air!

The more Jiang Chuan looked at the black gas, the more familiar it looked. It was exactly like... just like the black gas that escaped from his golden egg after he put the crystal core of despair into the machine the two times before!

The power of despair?

Jiang Chuan also immediately figured out the truth about the black energy, but what followed was a scene that made him even more stunned.

The black air surrounding the child became increasingly dense, gradually replacing the original white starlight, and eventually turned into a black figure surrounded by black air!

The midwives looked at each other, and then seemed to understand something, so they threw the child with black air on the bed and fled the room in panic.

The child who was thrown on the bed began to move around, probably frightened by the midwife's rough behavior, and began to cry instinctively.

The woman who had just been through a life-and-death situation actually supported her exhausted body, climbed up from the bedside, and slowly held the child in her arms...

The next moment, the starlight and black gas dissipated at the same time.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He walked slowly to the bed, but saw that the bed was as clean and tidy as other areas in the house, without any bloodstains. It seemed that someone had carefully cleaned and replaced it.

It's like... to hide what happened here.

However, Jiang Chuan also roughly understood that the reason for this change was the newborn child. For some reason, the child born after ten months of pregnancy by the protagonist and his wife actually carried the black energy of the power of despair.

Why does this happen?

This somewhat puzzling fact made even Jiang Chuan, a bystander, feel a little confused.

However, just as he was thinking, the starlight that had just dissipated in the air condensed again, and this time it turned into a thin line of light, extending all the way out of the room.

Jiang Chuan realized that this was a guide for him. There would be further developments to come, and the next scene would most likely be in another place in the house.

So he took a step forward, following the guidance of the starlight, walking out of the bedroom along the same path he came from, down the stairs, and finally returning to the luxurious living room.

The living room was still the same as when he came, but when he stepped in again, the starlight spread and condensed again, and finally formed several figures.

Jiang Chuan took a quick glance and found that there were five people in total in this scene.

Including the protagonist's wife and children, two soldiers who seem to be fully armed, and a robed... wizard.

As soon as these figures began to move, Jiang Chuan saw the wizard at the end of the crowd wave his arm casually.

Immediately afterwards, a large area of ​​light yellow spots suddenly appeared on the body of the woman who was holding the child. She seemed to have lost her strength and instantly fell to the ground, struggling and twisting, but unable to move.

From the looks of it, it's probably some kind of binding spell.

However, before falling, the woman still held the child in her arms and prevented the child from getting hurt.

However, even so, after the woman lost her ability to move, the two soldiers stepped forward and snatched the baby, who was emitting black energy, from her arms!

Seeing this, even though the woman had lost the ability to move, she still struggled and twisted on the ground, trying to stand up and reach out to save her child, but it was completely in vain.

Jiang Chuan watched the woman's mouth opening and closing, and he could imagine how frightened and desperate she was, and how she begged.

But the two soldiers didn't even look at her again. Their goal was clear and there was no unnecessary action or nonsense.

The two of them seemed to have made a division of labor in advance. One of them lifted the child up, while the other took out a dagger and slashed it down cleanly.

"hiss……"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but take a breath.

Can you really do it?

The woman lying on the ground in front of him suddenly stiffened, and the black energy on the child's body gradually became thinner and thinner. Finally, the whole figure disappeared from Jiang Chuan's sight.

When the incident was over, one of the soldiers threw away the thing in his hand and did not hurt the woman lying on the ground. The three of them turned around and left, disappearing from the screen.

In the end, the only thing left in the picture was the woman lying on the ground, unable to move. She was looking with difficulty in a twisted posture at something on the ground in front of her that Jiang Chuan could no longer see, twitching from time to time.

The scene ends here, and the starlight explodes again and disappears.

"..."

After witnessing this scene, even Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't expect he would be so decisive.

It seems that the people in this world really hate the power of despair. But Jiang Chuan can understand this. After all, he has been struggling in the end of the world until today, and he can fully understand the horror of despair.

Although he had never witnessed the so-called "tide of despair" in this world, Jiang Chuan could basically imagine what the scene was like.

I think, if the protagonist was not a young wizard who had made great contributions in the battle to stop the tide of despair, even this woman would not have been spared.

But now Jiang Chuan basically understood the reason why the woman disappeared: it was all because of one or some powerful people in this city, because of their extreme resistance to the power of despair.

This resistance was so extreme that they were willing to kill a baby boy, which ultimately led to the disappearance of the woman.

and so……

Is this why the seventy-seven-year-old woman would eventually become the Lord of Despair?

But just when Jiang Chuan thought that everything was over, a thin line formed by starlight lit up again and spread along the living room towards the corridor of the house.

There is still one?

……

Following the guidance of the starlight, Jiang Chuan came to a room he had never been to before.

After entering, the room full of bookshelves and the desk with various papers and pens told him that this should be a family's study.

As Jiang Chuan entered, the starlight in the study also condensed and finally turned into the figure of a woman.

She walked slowly to the bookshelf, reached out and took a book from it. Jiang Chuan looked on the bookshelf from that position and found that the book was the spell book that the protagonist's teacher had passed on to him in the Mage Tower.

Now the book is quietly placed on the bookshelf, and the figure with starlight gathered is holding the same book from the past time and space, sitting at the desk, and then reaching out to spread it out.

For a long time afterwards, the woman seemed to be thinking about something, or studying something. In short, from Jiang Chuan's perspective, after she opened the book, she had been making some strange movements and behaviors.

But just when Jiang Chuan was about to lose his patience...something strange happened.

I don't know what the woman did, her body suddenly began to tremble violently, and then... wisps of black smoke appeared on her body made up of white starlight!

And how could Jiang Chuan not recognize what this smoke meant?

The woman's trembling became more and more violent, and the smoke on her body became thicker and darker. Finally, like the baby in the previous scene, her entire body turned into black smoke...

At the same time, in Jiang Chuan's sight, a spell book exactly the same as the one on the bookshelf appeared on the table. However, like the woman's figure, it was also condensed from black smoke!

The woman's subsequent behavior instantly connected the information in Jiang Chuan's mind together, and it was as if he had suddenly realized something.

She seemed to think for a while, then she spread out the spell book that was also emitting black energy, and pinched the last page...

Tear it off with force!

At this moment, the black air around suddenly dissipated, and the scene ended.

Jiang Chuan stood there, his mind churning with thoughts, unable to calm down for a long time.

He waited for a long time, but the thin line guided by the starlight did not appear again. It seemed that this was the final scene.

Jiang Chuan's gaze also turned from the desk to the thick spell book on the bookshelf beside him.

He originally thought that the story he guessed after watching the previous scene was almost correct, but he did not expect that things were not that simple, and this spell book seemed to hide some terrible secrets.

Reaching out and taking the heavy book from the bookshelf, Jiang Chuan spread it out on the table. He flipped through it casually and found that there was nothing unusual in the front part.

Then he didn't waste any more time, he closed the book directly, then turned it over and opened the last page.

"..."

The last page of this spell book should have been torn by his late teacher, the eight-foot-tall girl Sandya, but the originally neat tear marks somehow turned into a new, messier mark with even paper scraps.

It’s like... after this page was repaired, it was torn off again.

At the same time, there was a paragraph of handwriting in the blank area of ​​the penultimate page... However, Jiang Chuan could not understand the words used.

But as if sensing Jiang Chuan's needs, just after he noticed the handwriting, the system prompt soon appeared in front of him again.

[The contents of the spell book are as follows]

My dear husband:

Just now, I understood the truth of everything and knew the deepest secret hidden in this world.

For the sake of our child, I am determined to break free from all this and give her a free world.

This is not our home, come back, we will go ahead and wait for you at home...】

Chapter 259: Final Chapter and Two Months

The translation of the information ended here. Jiang Chuan came to his senses, but still found it difficult to connect everything together.

First of all, the child was clearly dead...but why did she speak as if the child was still alive?

Secondly, all this seemed to be related to the last page of the spell book. The woman didn't know how she restored the torn last page, and then it was contaminated with the power of despair.

And why was their child infected by the power of despair when he was born...

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned in the previous chapter that when the protagonist first opened the spell book, he read the last page, but his memory of the rest of the page mysteriously disappeared.

Then, the page was torn off by the eight-foot-tall girl Sandia, who warned him not to explore the secret of the torn page in a message before her death...

So is this where all of this stems from?

It turns out that from the very beginning, the protagonist has been corroded by despair?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan's expression became more and more ugly.

Why was the protagonist's child infected with the power of despair at birth? In the final analysis, it was because the protagonist, the child's father, Twenty-Four, was also infected with the power of despair from the beginning.

Furthermore, as a child and a father, the only way to pass on this power of despair is through the other half of the chromosome, which is...

Jiang Chuan looked down at his crotch, his mood had sunk to the bottom.
