Miler, who has a system for giving up

Chapter 261 Substitute Spirit Puppet

Han Heng and I were both stunned. This question was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into our hearts, making it hard for us to breathe.

It was like a surging wave, engulfing us in endless suffering.

I took a deep breath, stared at Han Heng, my gaze as firm as a rock, "Of course I love him more. He is my husband, the father of my child. I am willing to give everything for him, even my life."

Han Heng quickly replied, "No, my wife, it is I who love you more. You gave birth to my son and managed all the affairs of the household. My love for you is like the surging river, never-ending, and like the towering mountain, standing firm and unyielding."

Upon hearing our answer, the woman in red smiled even more broadly. "Haha, how touching! But this isn't the answer I wanted."

Her gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared directly at me. "You say you love him more, so are you willing to give up your life for him?"

Without hesitation, I answered, "I do."

The woman in red then looked at Han Heng, "And what about you? Are you willing to give up your life for her?"

Han Heng's eyes showed no hesitation. "Of course I'm willing."

The woman in red seemed satisfied with our answer. She nodded and said, "Very well, since you both love each other so much, then I will grant your wish."

In the blink of an eye, her arms moved lightly, as graceful as a fairy, and a dazzling light flashed past like lightning.

Suddenly, everything went black before Han Heng's and my eyes, as if the whole world had been swallowed up by endless darkness, and our consciousness vanished in an instant like a shooting star.

At this critical moment, Brother Yu Xi was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, seeing us in danger.

Enraged, his power surged like a volcanic eruption, and he sped toward the woman in red like an arrow, seemingly determined to fight her to the death!

However, just as Brother Yu Xi was about to rush in front of the woman in red, His Highness the God King, who had been closely watching the changes in the aura around the woman in red, acted swiftly and quickly to stop her.

He flashed in front of Brother Yu Xi like a ghost, his hands gripping Brother Yu Xi's arms tightly like iron clamps, forcefully stopping him.

"Don't rush, don't rush!"

His Highness the God King quickly comforted Brother Yu Xi, while transmitting his thoughts, "I did not sense any murderous intent from her towards Yue Ya Tou and Han Heng. On the contrary, I could feel that she was filled with childlike curiosity towards the two of them at this moment."

Upon hearing this, Brother Yu Xi's anger subsided slightly, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it.

But he clenched his fist even tighter, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force, as if he were about to crush it.

He stared intently at the woman in red like a hawk, watching her lift Han Heng and me aside like chicks.

Then it circled around us, seemingly scrutinizing us closely, its eyes like two cold, piercing beams of light that sent chills down our spines.

Finally, the woman in red could no longer suppress the surging doubts in her heart. Her willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her lips parted slightly.

It felt as if a thousand words were about to burst forth like a flood.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and asked, "What if I ask you to kill the other person?"

Just now, with a wave of the woman in red's arm, we were instantly swept into a strange world—an illusion.

In this dreamlike realm, the surrounding mist, like a veil, creates a hazy and ethereal feeling, as if one were in a fairyland.

However, just as the woman in red was about to cast her spell, a lovely, bell-like voice suddenly rang in my mind: "Master, the woman in red has been detected to be about to launch an attack, targeting you and Han Heng!"

I was startled, as if struck by lightning, and immediately used my divine sense to transmit the message to Han Heng like lightning.

"Aheng, the woman in red might attack you and me like a wolf pouncing on its prey in a moment, so be careful."

I said urgently, my voice filled with worry.

Han Heng had clearly heard my suggestion; his gaze became as serious as a rock, and he nodded heavily to indicate that he understood.

Just as we were on high alert, our nerves were stretched to the limit, and we were fully focused on dealing with a possible sudden attack.

Suddenly, a sinister voice, seemingly from the underworld, echoed eerily in this strange illusion: "What if I asked you to kill the other party?"

The voice was like a ghost, sending chills down our spines. Han Heng and I were startled, exchanged a glance, and almost without hesitation, answered in unison, "Then let Madam kill me."

"Then let my husband do it."

These two sentences were like two thunderclaps, exploding loudly in this silent illusion. Not only did they startle the woman in red as if struck by lightning, but even Han Heng and I were taken aback by the decisiveness and firmness in their words.

"You, you, you all... how is this possible?" The woman in red's voice was filled with disbelief. Her eyes were wide open like copper bells as she stared at us, as if she had seen something unbelievable and unbelievable.

"Impossible! Why? Why would he abandon me? Is it just because I can't leave this wretched place?"

The woman in red's voice was sharp and piercing, like a swarm of disturbed bees. The emotions within it erupted like a volcanic eruption, stirring the air and drawing everyone's attention.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she were about to be overwhelmed by the surging torrent of emotions.

Her eyes burned with the flames of despair and sorrow—the pain of betrayal, the despair for love, and the uncertainty about the future.

Just as the woman in red was on the verge of emotional collapse, suddenly, the entire illusion seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible giant hand.

Everything in the illusion began to tremble violently; the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and even the air itself seemed to sway precariously under the impact of this force.

Cracks spread across the surface of the illusion like a spider web, rapidly expanding as if to tear the entire world to pieces.

The darkness emanating from these cracks is like an endless abyss, sending chills down one's spine.

The woman in red watched all this in horror. Her face turned ashen, and her once beautiful features were now distorted with fear.

Her body began to become transparent, like a candle flame in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.

"No, no! I don't want to disappear!"

Her cries echoed in the crumbling illusion, filled with despair and resentment.

However, the voice sounded so powerless, as if it were being swallowed up by the collapsing world.

Just when the woman in red was feeling desperate, His Highness the God King suddenly appeared before her like a ghost.

His appearance came without any warning, like a ghost emerging from the darkness.

His Highness the God-King's voice was soft and gentle, as if it could soothe all wounds.

He said softly, “You have been trapped in this illusion for too long, and your obsession is too deep. Their love has allowed you to see what you have lost and has also broken the shackles of this illusion on you.”

The woman in red was streaked with tears, which rolled down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls. She choked out, "I once had such a sincere love, but... but he left me so cruelly..."

Her voice was filled with endless sorrow and lamentation, which moved people deeply.

Seeing this, His Highness the God King sighed helplessly and gently comforted him, "Let go of the past. Only in this way can you truly find liberation."

His words, though simple, contained profound philosophical insights.

However, just as His Highness the God-King finished speaking, the entire illusion suddenly trembled violently, as if it were about to be torn apart by a powerful force.

With a crisp shattering sound, the illusion finally collapsed completely, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Han Heng and I were also thrown out of the illusion at that moment and returned to the real world.

When I calmed myself down and looked around, I found the woman in red standing not far away, quietly gazing at us.

The moment our eyes met, I could clearly sense a hint of relief and acceptance in her gaze.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the woman in red gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a dazzling light, streaking across the sky like a shooting star and disappearing into the distant horizon.

Where she originally stood, a crystal doll remained, resembling a fine work of art.

Seeing this, the little green dragon breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly ran over and carefully picked up the transparent doll that had fallen to the ground.

The little dragon held the doll in its hands, carefully protecting it as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

He came running towards me with light, quick steps, like a happy little bird.

When he ran up to me, his face was beaming with excitement and anticipation.

He eagerly handed the doll to me, saying as if it were a treasure, "Fairy sister, look, this is something that the woman in red dropped after she left!"

I looked down at the transparent doll that Little Green Dragon had placed in my hand, and I couldn't help but be attracted by its beauty.

This doll is completely transparent, like crystal, emitting a faint glow, making it exceptionally delicate and adorable.

However, despite the doll's irresistible cuteness, I felt absolutely no interest in it.

I smiled slightly at His Highness the God King and said, "Your Highness should keep it; it's useless to me."

I thought to myself, this doll is beautiful, but to me it's just an ordinary little object, and there's really no need to keep it.

However, to everyone's surprise, His Highness the God King immediately understood the purpose of the doll.

He gently shook his head, his movements as soft as willow branches swaying in the wind, as if he were pondering something of utmost importance.

Then, he slowly pushed the doll back in front of me, his tone as calm as still water: "This object is actually a kind of substitute spirit puppet doll."

My eyes widened, my face filled with disbelief.

Although I had guessed that this doll might be related to the spirit puppet, I never expected that it would be a substitute spirit puppet!

At this moment, Han Heng interjected, "Your Highness, how many times can this substitute puppet doll be used?"

His question was just like the doubts in my mind, so I couldn't help but concentrate and listen attentively, waiting for His Highness the God-King to answer my questions.

His Highness the God King did not answer immediately, but pointed to the substitute spirit puppet doll in my hand and explained, "Normally, substitutes and the like are disposable and will become ineffective after use. However, this substitute spirit puppet doll is made of spirit puppet, so the situation may be different."

He paused slightly, then continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, as long as the spirit puppet's energy hasn't run out, this substitute spirit puppet doll should be able to continue to be used. As for how to recharge the spirit puppet, I need to go back and consult ancient texts. I seem to have seen relevant records somewhere, but I can't recall the specific method right now."

Holding the substitute spirit puppet doll, I was filled with joy.

With it, I have an extra layer of protection in this world full of unknown dangers.

Han Heng looked pleased and gently took my hand.

Just then, the little green dragon suddenly hopped over, its eyes sparkling, and said, "Fairy sister, this child is so amazing, it might be of great help in the future!"

I smiled and patted his head.

His Highness the God-King looked at us and said gently, "If you encounter danger in the future, this spirit puppet may be able to save your lives. I will go back and consult the ancient texts to find the method of charging it, and then I will tell you."

Han Heng and I quickly thanked His Highness the God King.

We searched the entire place carefully, leaving no corner unchecked, but ultimately we found no other valuable clues.

The mysterious man from before had already fled like a frightened bird under the fierce counterattack of His Highness the God King and Brother Yu Xi.

However, the reason why His Highness the God King and his entourage turned back to find us was because they were worried that there might be a secret passage here that they had not yet discovered.

If that mysterious person uses the secret passage to harm me again, that would be terrible.

Therefore, everyone decided to return along the original route and go back to the stone gate they had come from.

However, when we arrived at the stone gate, we were surprised to find that the stone gate had been reduced to a pile of rubble.

Looking at the scene before me, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, my face full of suspicion.

"Ahem, I was worried you might be in danger, so I hit you a little too hard."

His Highness the God King seemed to notice my gaze, coughed lightly somewhat embarrassedly, and quickly explained.

Next, we went together to the road that His Highness the God King and his men had previously used to track the mysterious man.

As they walked, in a corner, the little cutie suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Master, look! There's a hidden formation around that corner, and inside the formation is a small teleportation array!"

Upon hearing the little cutie's reminder, a strong sense of curiosity welled up inside me.
