Personality V: I will save everything

the other side,

Mmm!

"No, Jiejiejie, Miss Jenny, what are you doing?" Holmes covered his right cheek in astonishment, as if he was shocked by this sudden action. His fingers gently touched his cheek, feeling the remaining warmth and a clearly visible lip print.

This lip print was just made by Miss Jenny.

"Leave a mark, otherwise I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to you." Miss Jenny blinked mischievously with a sly smile on her lips.

"It's just a mark left between us. Everyone's mark is different. Some people leave teeth marks or kiss marks directly; others let the other person wear corresponding accessories, such as necklaces, bracelets, etc." She explained patiently.

"But I still can't understand why you do this?" Holmes frowned and asked in confusion. Despite this, his hand never wiped off the lipstick mark on his right cheek, as if he had some special feeling for this mark in his subconscious.

"If you don't make this mark, if you happen to meet some cannibals, no one can guarantee that we can rush over in time to protect you~" Miss Jenny's tone suddenly became serious, her eyes fixed on Holmes, revealing a hint of worry.

Well, although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it still convinced Holmes.

However, he still felt a little uneasy, as he always felt that the lipstick marks on his cheeks would look particularly out of place at the dinner party, as if he were a bohemian playboy.

But just when he was troubled by this, Miss Jenny suddenly said something that he had not expected: "See you after tonight, Mr. Holmes. It's nice to meet you."

Holmes opened his mouth in astonishment, "What......?" He was about to ask the reason, but he found that Miss Jenny had pushed open the door of the Golden Rose Theatre without hesitation and walked in without looking back.

.................................................. ........................

Not long after, Miss Jenny blended into the crowd of the ball like a ghost and disappeared without a trace.

Well, now that things have come to this, Holmes thought, it's like the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. No matter what, he is determined to uncover the truth behind this series of events.

However, just as he was thinking, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - was the lip print that Miss Jenny left on his cheek just now just a joke?

After all, he looked around and didn't notice any non-human beings staring at him hungrily, let alone anyone who had bad intentions towards him and wanted to eat him alive.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

So, Holmes picked up his handkerchief without hesitation and quickly wiped off the lipstick marks on his face.

However, time passed by minute by minute, and he just stood there quietly. It had been almost ten minutes, but he still didn't feel anything unusual.

Just as he began to wonder if he was being too jumpy, something suddenly tapped his shoulder gently.

The sudden touch made his body tremble violently, and he subconsciously turned his head quickly, ready to deal with possible danger.

However, when he saw the person standing behind him, the tension in his heart instantly dissipated. It turned out that it was just Miss Jenny standing there with a glass of red wine and a smile.

"You actually wiped off my kiss, Mr. Holmes. This is really unexpected!" Miss Jenny said coquettishly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. "I don't know whether to say you are brave and fearless or too reckless."

Holmes raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. He looked at Miss Jenny, with a sly look in his eyes. "Oh, this is really a very good little joke, Miss Jenny. But unfortunately, I have successfully seen through it."

After saying that, Holmes reached out his hand and took the glass of red wine from Miss Jenny, his movements were elegant and natural. He was not angry about this little joke, on the contrary, he thought this little interaction was quite interesting.

"This is for you, Mr. Holmes." Miss Jenny quietly handed Holmes a package. "Promise me that you will open it after the dinner."

.................................................. ........................

This was an ordinary dinner party. People sat together, chatting in low voices or sipping fine wine. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

However, when the highlight of the dinner was about to begin, Holmes felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He noticed that Miss Jenny seemed to have been saying goodbye to others since she entered this place. This behavior puzzled him, but he did not think deeply about it until this moment, when he suddenly realized it.

There was a man standing on the stage, and it was Andrew. He was the only non-human character in this occasion, and he was an elf. His appearance added a touch of mystery to the whole dinner.

"I am very happy that we can all gather here again this year," Andrew said with a smile, his voice clear and pleasant. "At the same time, I am also honored to announce here the two qualified people -" He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Ms. Jenny and Mr. Jose Baden, please come on stage."

The two people whose names were called stood up slowly, smiled, and walked towards the stage with graceful steps.

Others in the audience spontaneously applauded, the applause was thunderous, as if this was a grand award ceremony.

After the two of them came to the stage, Andrew took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued in his low and magnetic voice:

"Well, as usual, we will tell you what happened to the two of them before they died, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of their stories. First, let's talk about Miss Jenny. She was born in an ordinary little noble family and was a beloved little lady there. Originally, she should have lived a peaceful and happy life, enjoying the love and warmth of her family.

However, fate played a cruel joke on her. One day, a sudden disaster befell her. When she opened her eyes, she was horrified by the scene before her - her parents had been brutally disemboweled, and in her hand, she was holding a pair of scissors stained with blood.

From that moment on, Miss Jenny's life was completely turned upside down. She was involved in a desperate struggle with the devil. The devil followed her everywhere, constantly torturing her body and mind, trying to drag her into an endless dark abyss.

In the days that followed, Miss Jenny never gave up fighting the devil. She tried every possible way to expel the devil from her body, but failed every time. The devil seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, while Miss Jenny's power was constantly weakening.

Just when the devil thought Miss Jenny had completely surrendered and was ready to continue using her body to do evil, Miss Jenny made a surprising decision. This decision required great courage and determination, because it meant that she would pay the price of her life.

In the end, Miss Jenny chose to commit suicide. She ended her entanglement with the devil in a decisive way. She took the devil with her to another world and got rid of the devil's control forever. "

After he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out again from the audience. However, this time the applause made Holmes feel creepy.

He couldn't help but wonder: Is this really something worth celebrating? After all, someone has already lost her life. Even if she has become a monster, it means that she has experienced death once! How can people be happy about such a thing?

Holmes looked around and saw the excitement and joy on people's faces, which made him feel more and more weird.

Don’t these people understand the seriousness of death?

Why are they so excited about this? Because they must be non-humans to be here, and the transition from human to non-human is death, which means they should feel sympathy for each other. Why do they turn a blind eye to the suffering of others?

Although he was full of questions and puzzles, Holmes did not interrupt the speech on the stage. He decided to continue observing and see what would happen next.

“Then what I am going to tell you next is the legendary deeds of Mr. Jose Badem.

Mr. José Badem's family was originally just an ordinary noble family, but they had a proud tradition - they had a strong dominance on the sea. This family has been engaged in sailing for generations and has made outstanding achievements in the marine field.

However, the gears of fate suddenly changed one day. On that day, Mr. Jose Badem was patrolling the dock as usual and accidentally saw a lady being harassed by some sailors. Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he did not hesitate to step forward and defend her. This was a trivial matter, but it was overheard by those sailors with ulterior motives.

These sailors were actually newly recruited. They had been pirates before and believed that women would bring disasters to the ship. Moreover, they believed that a captain like Jose Baden who would protect women was not worthy of leading the ship. Therefore, these ill-intentioned sailors joined forces with other equally dissatisfied crew members and conspired to kidnap Mr. Jose Baden.

Facing this group of vicious kidnappers, Mr. José Badem showed great courage and determination. He would rather die than surrender, and was determined not to let the pirates succeed and turn the ship into a tool for their evil deeds. At the moment of life and death, Mr. José Badem made an amazing decision - he resolutely ignited the gunpowder on the ship and chose to be buried in the sea of fire with everyone on the ship.

In this way, Mr. José Badem used his life to defend his beliefs and dignity, and his deeds became a legend that makes people sigh. "

.................................................. ........................

Another speech of deeds was finished, and there was another long-lasting applause.

Finally, it’s time to get to the point————

"During the time they became monsters, they both stayed true to their original intentions.

The lives of Miss Jenny's parents, the lives of the five subsequent victims, and the lives of those she killed during her time as a non-human, totaling 53 lives.

The total number of lives lost by all the crew members on the ship that José Badem set on fire was 78.

They have been fully redeemed.

So now they have redeemed their sins in life, so let us congratulate them together - they can ascend to heaven. "
