I just want to live an ordinary life with the power of the protagonist

Chapter 41 41. The Price of Rejection

Laura saw the water droplets frozen into ice, her eyes flickered a few times, but she didn't say anything.

The focus of Jonathan's observation was not these ice beads, but...

"Evelyn, you really slept in his room last night, you guys, when were you together? Why don't I know, Evelyn, you actually kept it from your brother."

Jonathan looked hurt one second, but looked at Wang Bo fiercely the next second.

"You actually slept with my sister, did you get my consent? You..."

"Jonathan, shut up."

Evelyn was afraid that her brother would say something bastard, so she quickly reprimanded him.

Jonathan felt as if he had been shot with a machine gun, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Evelyn explained: "I did find someone in Wang Bo's room last night, but nothing happened to us. Believe me, there is nothing between us."

Jonathan said: "You are a man and a woman, sleeping in the same room, but nothing happened."

"Yes."

"Evelyn, do you think I'll believe it?"

Evelyn: "...but it's true."

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Jonathan felt that this was a ridiculous joke, but since his sister said so, what else could he say, of course he forgave her.

"Anyway, you have grown up, no matter what you do, I will not interfere, so I believe you, Evelyn, you are innocent, you have done nothing, I say this, you are satisfied. "

Evelyn gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I am very satisfied, Jonathan!"

"That would be wonderful, Evelyn."

Wang Bo: ...

Laura: ...

After the unpleasant breakfast, Wang Bo returned to his room without saying a word. He was too lazy to explain to Jonathan. After all, Jonathan's expression of "you must have adultery" was too obvious.

He didn't even want to believe his sister's explanation.

Not to mention Wang Bo's explanation.

For the next period of time, Wang Bo still lived in seclusion and read the Black Book of the Dead every day, but this time there was one more person.

After that night, Evelyn was also attracted by the knowledge on the Black Book of the Dead.

She simply moved into Wang Bo's room and discussed with Wang Bo the knowledge on the Black Book of the Dead every day.

Both of them seemed incomparably obsessed.

Time passed little by little, and the day before the ship arrived in London, Wang Bo and Evelyn finally finished reading the Black Book of the Dead and successfully digested the knowledge above.

For the undead, for death, the two of them had a new understanding.

However, that night, Wang Bo had a strange dream.

In the dream, Wang Bo walked along a road paved with gold and arrived at a majestic palace.

In this magnificent palace, a tall man sits on a huge throne.

Wang Bo's height is more than 1.8 meters, but in front of this man, he looks very small. His height can't even reach the height of the opponent's knee.

There is no doubt that this is a majestic giant.

But to Wang Bo's surprise, the giant's head had the head of a jackal.

He sat on a huge throne, looking down at Wang Bo.

"Foreigner, after you have read the Black Book of the Dead and understood death, are you willing to give up your faith and become my gatekeeper, and I will give you great power."

Wang Bo subconsciously shook his head, "Sorry, I don't want to."

The giant didn't expect that he would be rejected, and was furious immediately, "Stranger, you have rejected the gods and the great Anubis, then I will deprive you of your understanding of death. Get out of here, death does not belong to you!"

In the next second, Wang Bo felt an unparalleled force sweeping over him, smashing him to pieces.

Then, Wang Bo suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of the ship's room!
A feeling of lingering fear lingered in Wang Bo's heart, and he refused to leave for a long time.Wang Bo touched his chest, his beating heart gave Wang Bo a strong sense of peace of mind.

Recalling the dream just now, Wang Bo felt that it was really amazing.

He never thought that he would actually see Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, in his dream.

At this moment, Wang Bo heard an exclamation.

Evelyn sat up from the bed suddenly, covered in cold sweat, but there was a little smile on her face.

"Evelyn? Are you okay?" Wang Bo asked, getting up from the sofa.

Evelyn shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just had a magical dream. I seem to have dreamed of the Egyptian god, Your Highness Anubis."

Wang Bo was startled, "You also dreamed about Anubis."

"Yes, I dreamed... Wait, what did you just say?" Evelyn asked in disbelief.

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Wang Bo nodded and said, "I'm the same as you. I also dreamed of Anubis. He asked me if I would like to be His gatekeeper."

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness Anubis asked me that too."

"So, you agreed."

"Yes." Evelyn nodded, "I promised, didn't you?"

"I do not have."

"Why?" Evelyn couldn't understand, because she was sure now that the dream she just had was not an ordinary dream.

She did see the great god in her dream, and promised him, becoming the guardian of death.

In exchange, she was given powerful mana by His Royal Highness Anubis.

Now she can clearly feel the mana in her body, even without the Black Book of the Dead, she can summon the dead souls, and even summon the warriors of Anubis.

For ordinary people, this is simply a step up to the sky, from an ordinary human being to an extraordinary person.

So she didn't quite understand why Wang Bo refused.

For Wang Bo, the explanation is very simple, "Probably because I don't want to surrender my beliefs."

Evelyn was silent for a moment, then said, "This is your freedom."

Freedom of belief is everyone's right, and even she has no position to criticize Wang Bo.

"But either way, you missed an opportunity."

"Then I should congratulate you, Evelyn, congratulations on becoming an extraordinary person." Wang Bo did not expect that because of his intervention, Evelyn not only did not get together with O'Connor, but even became Anunobi. Priest of Sri Lanka.

This plot change is simply earth-shaking.

What is even more interesting is Wang Bo, who found that after he rejected Anubis, he lost all understanding of death and knowledge of the mysterious side.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing to read the Black Book of the Dead.
