Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1947 Life

Flowers bloom and fade, the sun and moon revolve.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable laws for any living organism. The difference is that for lower life forms, birth, aging, sickness, and death occur in a short moment, while for higher life forms, they occur over long periods of time. However, there is no true eternity. Even the so-called eternal soul is only a unit of time relative to an era.

Compared to the endless flow of time and history, it is insignificant.

Who can be certain how many strange and magnificent lives have been born in this vast and boundless world, in the long river of time, only to be ultimately annihilated by the rules of the endless dimensions of the world and even higher dimensions?

In the world of Masaki, or perhaps on Masaki Planet itself, Grimm and Millie have lived among ordinary people for decades without realizing it.

Sunlight spills across the land, illuminating the coastal hillsides. Two people lie on white rocking chairs, covered with brown sheets, listening to the sea breeze rustling through the grass and birdsong, forgetting the passage of time, with only their heartbeats and breaths remaining.

Decades have passed, and this couple, who seem to love each other dearly, have never had any conflicts or arguments. They find sweetness in the ordinariness of each day, like being swept into a whirlpool of honey. Even the lack of children has not affected them in any way.

At this moment, Green and Millie not only had loose, wrinkled, and inelastic skin, but also some age spots. They were both thin and bony, but they never lacked smiles, and the corners of their mouths always had a captivating curve.

Their optimism even inspired many of their friends, who all idolized Green and Millie.

"Green!"

Tom Ann, leaning on his cane and panting heavily, looked like he was barely breathing due to his high blood sugar. With the help of his servants, he slowly made his way from his 800-square-meter villa to Green's side.

"Cough cough cough cough, huff, huff, huff..."

Before he could even speak, the guy, panting heavily, swallowed several blood pressure pills with the help of the maid. Seeing this, Millie stood up from her chair and scolded, "Can't you just behave yourself? You're practically dying, what are you doing running around like that?"

Midi died of late-stage lung cancer at the age of forty, which led Tom Ann to quit smoking completely and live to this day.

"Huff, huff, huff, if I don't come out for a walk soon, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance. I've already made a will, and I'm giving up all treatments for any illness symptoms that require chemotherapy, surgery, or scalpels, and my entire estate will be donated to humanitarian aid organizations."

Tom Ann lay there comfortably and said in a low voice, "You guys really know how to pick a spot. The sunlight in Truth is so beautiful."

Tom Ann only settled here ten years ago. He must have made a lot of money in his life. He easily built a bigger and more luxurious villa next to Green and Millie's cottage. As for the reason for moving here, his fifth wife filed for divorce. He was probably too old and had no intention of remarrying, so he simply sold his old house and moved here.

"Yes, these seagulls are starting to recognize people."

Green said softly.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

……

Two years later.

Tom Ann was about to be laid to rest. Green, in a wheelchair and dressed in a black tuxedo, watched as Millie, equally frail and aged, helped him as his lifelong friend's coffin was slowly lowered into the ground, with the pastor reading a somber eulogy.

It's both pitiful and laughable that none of Tom Ann's four sons and two daughters came to visit.

"We've pretty much had our fill, why don't we move on to another place and continue our travels?"

Green secretly transmitted his voice.

"Where are we going? We've been staying here for so long, it's really hard to leave. But as long as you're here, anywhere is home. Where do you want to go?"

Millie's forehead rested on Green's shoulder in his wheelchair, appearing to outsiders as if she were carrying him on her back, but in reality, she was conversing with Green. There was no conscious communication between them, as if Millie had already become accustomed to the ordinary life of a normal person.

"Anywhere is fine."

……

Lin Xiguo, Sixth Division of the Ministry of State Security.

"Sir, the serial murders in Annam Province are very likely supernatural events that defy common sense. I request that the Sixth Division take over the case as soon as possible."

Although the serial killings in Annam province have been intermittent, there have been 35 confirmed victims over the past six months, and the actual number of victims may be far higher.

"Can you confirm whether they are superhumans or extraterrestrials?"

The figure in front of the screen asked in a deep voice.

"There's a greater than 70% chance that the perpetrator of this serial murder case is an alien, or even... a wizard!"

……

"Who will die first, you or me?"

Inside the house, Millie suddenly asked a question, but the question was far too strange.

"You go first, I don't want to..."

Green had only spoken halfway when Millie, along with him, also noticed the uninvited guests near the house.

After exchanging a glance, the two settled down on the bed. A little while later, a figure brazenly appeared in Green's villa, munching on an apple. The figure glanced at Green and Millie, who were fast asleep on the bed, gave a cold laugh, and went to another room.

the next day.

"Oh, you two old geezers are awake? I don't want people to misunderstand and think I didn't kill them but they're pinning the blame on me, hmph."

The man lounging on the sofa, his physique noticeably different from that of the Demon Stone natives, toyed with a skull ring on his fingertip. A cold laugh revealed his gleaming white teeth as he spoke with utter mystery: "Old men, if you're willing to sell your souls, submit to me, and become my servants, I can grant you any wish! For example, I can grant you two old folks rebirth, young bodies, and long lives!"

Her voice is infinitely alluring.

Green and Millie, who were preparing to die and leave this world, exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere was rather strange.

They agreed to live their lives according to the lower life forms of this world. They thought their lives were over, but unexpectedly, a low-probability random event was triggered before they died. According to their original agreement, they should now make a choice about this matter according to the thinking of life forms in this world.

"Who, who are you? Cough cough cough..."

Green asked tremblingly, even though he had already determined that the other party was a life form from another world, like an alien to the life forms of this world, a terrifying creature living under a skin.

"You shouldn't know things you shouldn't know. What are you two old men going to choose?"

While Green was still debating whether it was a random event in this world or intervention from an outer realm, Millie said, "We've had enough of living in this world. Why would we sell our souls? You should go find someone else. I'm already content to spend my life with this old man from my family."

As he spoke, at Millie's prompting, Green revealed a kind smile and died right before the eyes of this alien creature.

"Hello!"

Before the alien creature could react, Millie, ever the direct one, shot herself in the temple with a "bang," blood splattering everywhere. The once confident alien creature felt a chill run down its spine and was instantly stunned.

"Hey, don't mess with me! I didn't kill those two!"
