Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 48 Miracles Only One Hour

If Jasmine enjoyed all the glances from men before, now she only has worries and fears.

She quickened her pace again, as if being chased by the Feysac.

Finally, before the men approached, Jasmine rushed into the apartment and got rid of them.

Phew... The girl patted her chest and secretly decided to go out less at night in the future.

Only then did she realize that her unimaginable beauty also has its downsides.

After calming down, Jasmine walked up the dimly lit stairs to the third floor, returned to the outside of her house, and opened the door with the key she carried.

She cautiously approached her parents' bed, and once again used the moonlight to examine their faces.

Compared to when she went out not long ago, her father and mother's faces became quite ruddy, their white hair and wrinkles were much less, and there was almost no snoring.

They have really recovered... Jasmine smiled uncontrollably, visibly relieved.

Sensing the movement, her mother's eyelids moved and slowly opened.

Jasmine held her breath and restrained her smile, ready to surprise her mother.

Her mother sat up halfway and looked over, her expression suddenly becoming extremely frightened.

"Who are you?" the woman asked sharply, pushing her husband up beside her.

who I am? Jasmine was a little dumbfounded by the question, and she didn't know how to answer this simple question.

At this time, her father also woke up and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him suspiciously and vigilantly.

"Get out! Otherwise I'll call the police to come up!" Jasmine's mother got out of the bed, picked up the candlestick placed next to it, and used it as a weapon.

"We don't welcome thieves." Jasmine's father issued a deportation order politely.

He knew that when facing thieves, try not to push too hard, otherwise it would be easy for the other party to choose extreme ways of coping.

If he didn't have a wife and children, he wasn't too afraid to fight thieves, but now, he was carrying a whole family on his shoulders.

Jasmine finally came to her senses,

Hastily said:

"Dad, Mom, I'm..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was greeted by her mother who pushed her face to face, and was pressed by her father on the shoulder, and kept getting out of the room.

As for what she said, in such a situation, no one would care.

bang!

The door of his own house was closed before his eyes, which left Jasmine at a loss and helpless.

She wanted to slam the door and use the key she carried with her to prove her identity, but at this moment, she heard her mother at the opposite window, saying to the police patrolling below:

"There are thieves here, there are thieves!"

Thief... Mom and Dad don't know me... Will they think I murdered them... Will the police believe in the "automatic wishing machine"... Jasmine felt nervous, and subconsciously decided to leave the apartment first and avoid the police , and wait until dawn to find father and mother to explain one by one, and use common memories to win their trust.

Dengdengdeng, she buried her head, and under the onlookers of the neighbors who heard the sound, she walked down the stairs quickly and rushed out of the apartment.

Running all the way to a nearby alley, avoiding the police coming from the street, Jasmine gasped and stopped, tears rolled down her face involuntarily and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a hand reached out, covered her mouth, and dragged her to a secluded place in the alley.

"How much? I'll give you how much..." A drunken, vague voice sounded in Jasmine's ears, as if she was a street girl, and she couldn't resist her temptation.

Jasmine struggled hard, frightened, scared, and desperate.

Just when she felt like she was about to collapse, the drunk man's hand let go.

"Miss, are you alright?" A hoarse male voice sounded.

Jasmine quickly left the area where the drunk man was, then turned around and saw a policeman in a black and white checkered uniform.

"He, he wants to..." Jasmine burst into tears as she spoke.

The policeman gave her a pitying look and said:

"We'll take him to the magistrates' court, but, miss, you need to go back to the police station with me and record a statement."

Jasmine was in a state of extreme panic 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 hinted at attracting customers?" The policeman said carefully.

He was worried that speaking too frankly would hurt the beautiful girl in front of him.

Jasmine held the coffee cup, lowered her head and took a sip:

"Well, I just got to that alley."

"Okay, let's go here. Miss Jasmine, can you tell us where your home is? We will send someone to take you back." Another policeman asked flatteringly.

Thinking of his parents' reaction, thinking of those disgusting eyes, Jasmine couldn't help shivering, and said as if she was about to cry:

"I have a conflict with my parents and can't go home for the time being. Maybe you can take me to the nearest hotel..."

At this point, she remembered that she only had a few pennies left, and she couldn't live in a good hotel, and that kind of cheap hotel was almost dangerous to her.

The first policeman was startled and said:

"it is good."

On the way to take Jasmine to the nearest hotel, the policeman hesitated several times and finally said:

"If, I mean, if you are going to be a street girl, you can come to me directly, no need, no need to work so hard..."

Hearing this sentence, Jasmine felt that her spirit was about to collapse, which was different from the first time she saw that face after being burned by the fire.

This made her extremely insecure, and she remained silent without answering.

Fortunately, the policeman didn't force her and took her all the way to the door of the nearest hotel.

"No, I'll go in myself." Jasmine rejected the other party's proposal to send her to the room.

When the policeman left, she walked out of the hotel without actually checking in.

She wanted to go to the municipal square, go to the "automatic wishing machine" and cancel her last wish.

Such beauty is terrifying!

After walking a few steps, Jasmine took off the scarf that was draped around her shoulders and wrapped it around her face layer by layer, just like when she went out for the first time tonight.

At the time, her face was still burnt by flames, and her missing nose and severely damaged lips made her look like a demon.

After taking the trackless public carriage to the Municipal Square, she entered the street again and saw the brass-colored "automatic wishing machine".

Jasmine's heart suddenly calmed down a bit, and she stepped up to the machine.

Then, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do to remove the last wish.

"Your first wish belongs to a free trial and is not included in the three wishes, so you still have one wish." At this moment, Jasmine heard the voice of Mr. Merlin Hermes.

She turned her head and saw that across the street, next to the gas street lamp, under the dim yellow light, the magician wearing a top hat was looking at her calmly.

"Okay, okay." Jasmine hurriedly took out a copper penny and put it into the "automatic wishing machine".

"I hope my last wish is cancelled." She closed her eyes and said silently, holding the wrench and turning it.

"Education".

She heard the slightly dull knocking sound again.

After opening his eyes, Ja Simin rushed to the store next to him, stopped in front of the glass window, and took off the scarves wrapped around his face layer by layer.

She saw herself again, the not-so-beautiful girl.

Jasmine immediately relaxed, and instinctively turned her head to look at the "Automatic Wishing Machine", but found that it disappeared together with the Mr. Merlin Hermes.

"Praise the goddess and thank Mr. Hermes." Jasmine sincerely tapped four clockwise on her chest.

She then took the last copper penny and got on the trackless stagecoach home.

Along the way, no one gave her place.

When her figure disappeared from the street, Klein reappeared on the side of the street, holding a silver mirror with ancient patterns in his hand.

"Great Master, why don't you end by saying 'Too much greed only makes good things bad' or 'Wish always comes with a price'? This can make the whole thing more philosophical and rise to the level of an allegory. "On the surface of the mirror, silver words jumped out one by one.

Klein smiled and said:

"The biggest problem is that I can't satisfy her desire to become very, very beautiful in a normal way, and 'lie' can only be adjusted to a certain extent.

"So, I had to 'graft' one of the effects of a witch's Sealed Artifact onto her body, which caused her to gain amazing beauty and at the same time have a terrifying charm ability, making the surrounding men can not refuse."

That sealed item belonged to "Judgment" Hugh, the relic of the witch Sherman.

——Because of Hugh's omissions in saving it, Sherman's Beyonder characteristics were merged with the box that contained it, becoming a Sealed Artifact with amazing negative effects, which caused Hugh's younger brother to look at the box wrongly.

In order to solve this problem, Hugh made a wish to Mr. Fool and asked him to seal this item.

After speaking casually, Klein glanced at the "magic mirror":

"Arrodes, are you comforting me?"

"No, the main problem is that she is too greedy. If she just wants to be beautiful and doesn't add so many 'very', then the result will be quite good." On the surface of the mirror, silver words quickly emerged.

"Yes, that is within the range that Lie can adjust." Klein nodded and said to Arrodes, "The adjustment of Lie's appearance can indeed be permanently fixed, but it is always consistent with 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 increase, and the face will look rather strange and stiff, unless she really becomes With the 'Faceless Man,' things can be fixed from time to time."

Having said that, Klein shook his head with a smile:

"A lie is just a lie after all."

Then, walking to the other end of the street, he continued:

"Also, even if she becomes beautiful, it is still unknown whether she will have a better life in the future. It is true that beauty can give her a lot of resources and let her marry a 'prince', but her own cultivation, character and knowledge level There is a high probability that such a life cannot be sustained for too long.

"Well, it is not ruled out that she is good at learning, can enrich herself from various experiences, and finally control the possibility of a good life, but that is another story.

"Hehe, miracles are only temporary, and fate is always long."

During the conversation with "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, Klein gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

His understanding of the "miracle teacher" has deepened.

…………

After returning to the apartment where he was, Jasmine didn't try to open the door. It took a lot of courage to reach out and knock on the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and her mother appeared in front of her.

"Oh, you're finally back." Her mother breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in extreme horror, "You, your face?"

Jasmine squeezed out a smile and said:

"Healed, a gentleman who is good at creating miracles."

"Automatic Wishing Machine" Mr.

Just when her mother and father suspected that her daughter was under the influence of the devil, several police officers in black and white checkered uniforms went up the stairs and came over.

The leader is a lady with pale blue eyes and a quiet smile.

"Miss Jasmine, we have something to ask you," the lady said politely.
