Lord of the Mysteries

Jasmin heard a moment of excitement, but still a little uneasy:

"What does it cost?"

In her opinion, the previous free trial didn't need to pay a price, which does not mean that the future wish is the same.

Klein straightened his top hat and said with a smile:

"The penny you pay is the price, and the corresponding change you need to bear after fulfilling your wish is the price."

Jasmin nodded as if he didn't understand, no longer hesitated, poked his hand into his pocket, tried to reach out a few copper pennies, and fulfilled his wish.

However, her pockets were empty, except for a handkerchief.

She has been at home for too long and hasn't touched money for a long time.

Previously, she had walked from her home to the municipal square without riding a trolley bus.

"Me, me, can you go home first?" Jasmin asked annoyed and embarrassed.

"Of course, this is your freedom, but I don't guarantee that the‘ automatic wishing machine ’will always be waiting for you here.” Klein laughed in a magician's tone. “Sometimes, it ’s wayward.”

Jasmin said "um" twice, thanked him, turned his body, and trot away in the opposite direction of the municipal square.

The more she ran, the more relaxed she was. She recovered her health condition before being burned, and changed back to that young girl who was only 17 or 8 years old.

For her, this is a scene that only appears in dreams.

Of course, as an ordinary person, after running for a while, she also gradually felt tired, and had to slow down her pace and start slowly.

The cool wind blows at night, and one bright star shines through the high-altitude clouds. The trees on the street are shaking gently, and a swaying figure is sprinkled on the ground. All this is so quiet and beautiful. Jasmin only Feeling that my body and mind are relaxed, all my worries go away.

For the first time since her injury, she was so peaceful and unknowingly brought a little smile.

After walking about five or six minutes, she suddenly heard someone calling her name:

"Well, Jazmin?"

Jasmin looked sideways and saw a familiar face, her original neighbor, Mrs. Hamill.

"Good evening, Mrs. Hamill, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to the carnival?" Jasmin, wearing a scarf, laughed heartily.

Mrs. Hamill was a woman with a little gray hair, and she looked at Jasmin carefully:

"I haven't seen you since you moved away. I heard that you were injured in the previous bombing?"

"Well, but it's alright." Jasmin focused heavily.

She then asked:

"How is Julie now?"

Julie is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Hamill, and Jasmine's past playmate.

Mrs. Hamill's expression was clouded:

"She was, she was bullied by the Fassac, so she died ..."

Jasmin froze, thinking of his experience while sad.

A Fassack soldier once broke into her house and tried to insult her, but after seeing her face burned by the fire, she just gave her a kick and left.

"Poor Julie." Jasmin sorrowfully and sincerely tapped clockwise on his chest, drawing stars.

After hearing about her friend's past, she realized that she might still be the one with better luck.

Farewell to Mrs. Hamill, Jasmin walked back to the apartment where he was.

Arriving outside the house, she eased back and recovered a lot, and began to expect her parents to see her expression return to the original.

They should no longer hold the pain in their hearts, pretending that nothing happened, they will certainly cry with excitement and hug me happily ... Jasmin took off the key that was used as a necklace around his neck, while imagining, Opened the door.

The room was dim, and neither the candle nor the gas wall lamp was lit.

A heavy and light snoring sound came from the outer bed, which contrasted with the livelyness of the Municipal Square.

They all fell asleep ... Yeah, they usually work very hard ... Jasmin closed the door gently, walked to the parents' bed, and quietly cast his eyes on the crimson moonlight shining through the window.

Dad had a lot of white hair on his head, and his decree became deeper ... Mommy frowned while she was sleeping, her face was a bit peeling, and it was dry and rough ... Jasmin only realized that she hadn't taken it seriously for a long time Having examined the faces of my parents, I didn't know they were so old.

Before the war, her father was an accountant, and his income was pretty good. He could afford to rent a house in a row, which would allow his wife not to go out to work and take care of the family. Now, he can only enter the cloth factory and do heavy labor. Jasmin's mother also had to leave the family to become a textile worker.

Dad's health is getting worse and worse, he is always coughing, but he has passed the recent unified examination for government employees, and after the interview results are announced, he can have a decent job ... Mom keeps complaining about her eyes and her Arms are getting worse and worse ... Jasmin looked at his parents deeply without waking them.

She had thought of her second wish.

Slowly, Jasmin entered the room inside and poured out the last few pennies from the piggy bank he almost emptied.

She then left the apartment and boarded a trolley bus.

——She was afraid to go too late, the “automatic wishing machine” has disappeared.

At this time, there were a lot of passengers on the public carriage, most of them went to the carnival. Jasmin looked around and saw that there was no place, so he had to hold the stand and stand on the aisle to crowd with many people.

In ten minutes, she got off at the station and turned into the previous street.

When the brass-colored machine inlaid with several pieces of glass came into her eyes, Jasmin breathed a sigh of relief and hurried closer.

In the process, she looked around and did not find the magician named Merlin Hermes.

"Really fully automatic, doesn't need him by his side?" Jasmin whispered puzzledly.

She didn't waste time, took out a penny of copper coins, and put it into the "full automatic wishing machine".

"I want my parents to be healthy and their family to become rich." Jasmin whispered his wish, closed his eyes, and waited for a miracle.

The next second, she heard Ding Dong's voice, as if a coin rolled out of the "full automatic wishing machine."

Jasmin opened his eyes and looked forward, only to see that the 1p copper coin he had just dropped in had fallen into a small tray outside the coin slot.

This wish cannot be fulfilled? Uh, you can't have too much content in one wish? What I just promised is actually equal to two wishes ... With the experience of being cured of burns, Jasmin did not suspect that there was a problem with the "automatic wishing machine".

She thought about it, and put the penny coin into the slot again, then lowered her head and whispered:

"I want my parents to be healthy."

This time, she heard a soft tapping sound in the "automatic wishing machine":

"Tuk."

Jasmin saw that the copper coin had not been spit out and knew that his wish had been fulfilled. He could not wait to go home to see the condition of his parents.

Anxious, she put in another second penny.

She had intended to make her family rich, but she could think of her father's basic determination to be a government employee of Limon, and her family income could be protected, and she could not help but have other ideas.

After ten years old, she has realized that she is not good-looking at all. This is not to say that people around her will disapprove her, that she will not look good, but that her two girls are pretty in her playmate For the sake of beauty, this allows them to receive preferential treatment and experience the goodwill of the world.

Under this comparison, Jasmin will inevitably dream of becoming more and more beautiful with his age, but it turns out that dreams can only be dreams.

However, this time, the dream may become a reality, because she has a magical “full-automatic wishing machine” in front of her that can create miracles.

If I can become beautiful, I can find a good husband, and I can also improve the family situation ... Jasmin heard the devil whisper in his ear, closed his eyes uncontrollably, and made a wish:

"I want to be very, very, very beautiful."

She used three extraordinarys to decorate beauty.

As soon as her voice fell, the "doorknob" of the "automatic wishing machine" opened again, and a silver-white mask was pushed out, covering Jasmin's face.

Jasmin brushed his eyes open, just to see the mask disappear.

At the same time, she seemed to be connected to something.

She turned around with anticipation, and once again came to the street shop, using the light of the gas street lamp and the glass on the window to see what she was now.

Jasmin was unable to describe in detail what changes the facial features and facial contours had, and only knew that at this moment, he was indulging in such beauty.

Her nose became firmer, her lips became plump, her eyes became larger, and her skin was more hydrated. Her skin was as tender as milk pudding, and she was only a little bit like the original one.

"This, is this a miracle ..." Jasmin gave a heartfelt, uncontrollable admiration.

She admired herself obsessively, and finally managed to look back and salute the "automatic wishing machine".

Immediately, she walked towards the public bus stop, and afterwards, her eyes were cast on her.

boom!

A man watched her too intently and hit a gas street light pole.

Jasmin pouted, said nothing, and boarded the trolley bus.

There were still a lot of people in the car, and all seats were full.

As Jasmin struggled to find a place, several men raised their butts, straightened their bodies, and smiled at her:

"Miss, you can sit here."

Jasmin was a little stunned for a moment, but did not expect that he could receive so much goodwill.

She did not quit, sat down nearby, and smiled at the man who gave the seat:

"thank you."

The man's expression became extremely vivid and said humbly:

"This is what a gentleman should do."

Jasmin still retained the habit that he had closed in the house before, and didn't say much. He sat quietly near his home and got out of the carriage.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt that someone was looking at herself, and she turned her head and looked over.

It was a drunk man who was drinking and he was looking at Jasmin with an unspeakable disgusting look.

Jasmin was startled and hurriedly walked towards the apartment, but the men encountered on the way successively showed similar eyes, and it seemed that he would become a beast at any time.

At this moment Jasmin felt like walking in the wilderness.
