Lord of the Mysteries
Vol 6 Chapter 48: Miracles can only last a moment
If Jasmin had enjoyed all the gazes cast by men before, now she has only worries and fears.
She quickened her pace again, as if being chased by the Fassac.
Finally, Jasmin rushed into the apartment and got rid of them before the men approached.
Huh ... The girl patted her chest, secretly deciding that she would rarely go out at night.
Only then did she realize that there were also disadvantages to the beauty beyond imagination.
After calming down, Jasmin went up to the third floor along the dim staircase, returned to his home, and opened the door with the key he had with him.
She approached her parents' bed carefully, and looked at their faces again with the help of moonlight.
Compared to when she went out not long ago, her father and mother's faces became quite ruddy, with less white hair and wrinkles, and there was almost no snoring.
They really returned to health ... Jasmin smiled uncontrollably, and was very relieved.
Perceiving the movement, her mother's eyelids moved slightly, and she opened slowly.
Jasmin held her breath, converged her smile, and was ready to surprise her mother.
Her mother sat up halfway and looked over, her expression suddenly becoming terrified.
"Who are you?" The woman asked sharply, pushing her husband beside her sharply.
who am I? Jasmin was a little dull when asked, but he didn't know how to answer this simple question.
At this moment, her father also woke up and looked at the beautiful young girl in doubt and vigilance.
"Go out! Otherwise I would call the police!" Jasmin's mother left the bed, picked up a candlestick placed next to it, and used it as a weapon.
"We don't welcome thieves." Jasmin's father kindly issued a deportation order.
He knew that when facing thieves, try not to be too aggressive, otherwise it would be easy for the other party to choose extreme coping styles.
If he had no wife and children, he would not be too afraid to fight the thief, but now, he carries a whole family on his shoulders.
Jasmin finally came back to her, and quickly said:
"Dad, mom, I am ..."
Before she finished speaking, she welcomed her mother to shove her head and face, and was pushed out of the room by her father pressing her shoulders.
As for what she said, in this situation, no one cared.
哐 Dang!
The door of his house was closed in front of him, which made Jasmin dazed and helpless.
She wanted to shoot the door, and wanted to prove her identity with the key she had with her, but at this moment, she heard her mother at the opposite window and police patrolling below:
"There are thieves here, there are thieves!"
The thief ... Dad and mom don't know me ... Do they think I murdered myself ... Will the police believe the "automatic wishing machine" ... As soon as Jasmin's mind was subconscious, he decided to leave the apartment first and avoid the police Wait until dawn to find a father and mother one by one to explain, and trust them with common memories.
Pedaling, she buried her head, and hurried down the stairs, rushing out of the apartment, as the neighbors heard the sound.
Running all the way to the nearby alley, avoiding the police coming from the street, Jasmin panted, stopped, and tears slipped across his face involuntarily and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a hand reached over, covered her mouth, and dragged her to a quiet place in the alley.
"How much? I give you all ..." A drunk, vague voice in Jasmin's ears, seemed to treat her as a street girl, and could not resist her temptation.
Jasmin was struggling, frightened and desperate.
Just when she felt like she was about to collapse, the drunk man's hand was released.
"Miss, are you okay?" A rough male voice sounded.
Jasmin quickly left the area where the drunk man was before he turned around and saw a policeman in a black and white uniform.
"He, he thinks ..." Jasmin said as he cried.
The policeman looked at her with pity:
"We will send him to the magistrates court, but, ma'am, you need to go back to the police station and make a statement."
Jasmin was in a state of extreme fear and extreme helplessness, and nodded subconsciously.
Not long after, she sat in the confession room of the nearby police station, opposite the policeman and his colleague.
"In other words, he never asked if you were a street girl, and you never made a suggestion to solicit customers?" The policeman weighed his words.
He was worried that speaking too plain would hurt the beautiful girl in front of her.
Jasmin held the coffee cup and sipped his head and said:
"Well, I just arrived at that alley."
"Okay, here it is. Miss Jasmin, can you tell us where your home is? We will send someone to take you back." Another policeman asked pleased.
Thinking of his parents' reactions and the disgusting glances, Jasmin could not help but shivered, and said as soon as he cried:
"I have conflicts with my parents. I can't go home for a while. Maybe you can take me to the nearest hotel ..."
Having said that, she remembered that she had only a few pennies left on her and could not stay in a good hotel at all, and that cheap hotel was almost dangerous for her.
At first the policeman stumbled:
"it is good."
On the way to Jasmin to the nearest hotel, the policeman hesitated several times before finally speaking:
"If, I mean, if you are going to be a street girl, you can come to me directly, no need, no hard work ..."
After hearing this sentence, Jasmin felt that his spirit was about to collapse, similar to the feeling when he first saw the face after being burned by fire.
This made her extremely insecure, silent without answering.
Fortunately, the policeman did not force her and took her all the way to the door of the nearest hotel.
"No, I will go in myself." Jasmin rejected the offer to send her to the room.
When the police officer left and did not actually check in, she quickly walked out of the hotel.
She wanted to go to the municipal square and go to that "full automatic wishing machine" to cancel her last wish.
Such beauty is really terrible!
After taking a few steps, Jasmin took off the scarf on his shoulders, and wrapped it layer after layer on his face, just like when he went out for the first time tonight.
At that time, there were still traces of flame burns on her face, and her missing nose and severely damaged lips made her look like a demon.
After arriving in the municipal square in a trolley bus, she entered the street again and saw the brass-colored "automatic wishing machine".
Jasmin's heart calmed down a bit, he accelerated his pace and came to the machine.
Then she was at a loss, not knowing what to do to relieve her last wish.
"Your first wish is a free trial, not one of the three, so you have one more wish." At this time, Jasmin heard the voice of Mr. Merlin Hermes.
She turned her head and saw that across the street, next to the gas street lamp, the magician in a top hat was looking at herself calmly in the yellow light.
"Okay, okay." Jasmin hesitantly took out a copper penny and put it into the "full automatic wishing machine."
"I hope my last wish was cancelled." She closed her eyes and meditated, holding the wrench, and turned.
"Tuk".
She heard the slightly dull percussion again.
After opening his eyes, Jasmin rushed to the store next to him, stopped at the glass window, and took off the scarf wrapped around his face.
She saw herself again, that pretty girl.
Jasmin immediately relaxed and looked instinctively at the "full-automatic wishing machine", but found that it was missing with that Merlin Hermes.
"Praise the beauty, thank you Mr. Hermes." Jasmin sincerely clicked clockwise on his chest.
She immediately took the last copper penny and got into a trolley bus home.
On the way, no one gave up her place.
When her figure disappeared on this street, Klein appeared again on the side of the street, holding an ancient silver mirror in her hand.
"Great master, why don't you just say" too greedy will only make good things bad "or" wishes always have a price "? This will make the whole thing more philosophical and rise to the level of allegory. "On the mirror surface, silver words jumped out.
Klein smiled:
"The biggest problem is that I can't meet her desire to become very, very, and beautiful in the normal way. The lie can only be adjusted to a certain extent.
"So, I had to 'graft' one of the effects of a seal derived from the witch onto her, which led to her amazing beauty while also attaching a terrible charm to the surrounding men. Can not resist."
That seal belonged to the "trial" Hugh, the relic of the witch Xueman.
——Because of the omission in Hugh's preservation, Xueman's extraordinary characteristics were fused with the box containing it, and it became an amazing seal with negative effects. This caused Hugh's brother to look at the box incorrectly.
To solve this problem, Hugh made a wish to Mr. Fool and asked him to seal the item.
After speaking casually, Klein glanced at the "Magic Mirror":
"Arods, are you comforting me?"
"No, the main problem is that she is too greedy. If she only wants to be beautiful and not add so many 'very', the result will be quite good." On the mirror surface, silver words quickly appeared.
"Also, that's the range that 'lies' can adjust." Klein nodded and said to Arodes, "' lie's adjustment of appearance can indeed be permanently cured, but this is always the same as the original muscles, skin and There is a certain difference in the bone structure. After more than ten years, when she gradually shows signs of aging, the difference between the adjusted part and the unadjusted part will gradually intensify, and the face will look quite strange and stiff, unless she really becomes With 'faceless people', the problem can always be corrected. "
With that said, Klein smiled and shook his head:
"A lie is a lie after all."
Then, as he walked across the street, he continued:
"And, even if she really becomes beautiful, it will be unknown whether she will be better in the future. Admittedly, beauty can get her a lot of resources and allow her to marry a 'prince', but her own cultivation, character and knowledge level There is a high probability that such a life cannot be maintained for too long.
"Well, it doesn't rule out that she is good at learning, can enrich herself from all kinds of experiences, and ultimately control the good life, but that's another story.
"Oh, miracles only last for a while, and fate is always long."
In a conversation with "Magic Mirror" Arodes, Klein's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
His understanding of the "miracle teacher" has deepened.
…………
After returning to his apartment, Jasmin didn't try to open the door, and it took great courage to reach out and knock on the door knocker.
With a squeak, the door opened and her mother appeared in front of her eyes.
"Oh, you're finally back." Her mother first let out a sigh of relief, and then asked in panic, "you, your face?"
Jasmin said with a smile:
"Healed, a gentleman who is good at miracles."
"Full Automatic Wishing Machine" Mr.
Just when her mother and father suspected her daughter had been affected by the devil, several policemen in black and white uniforms went up the stairs and came over.
The head is a lady with pale blue eyes and a quiet smile.
"Miss Jasmin, we have something to ask you," the lady said politely.
