Jianhai County, Limon City.
Jasmine wrapped her scarf around her face and walked out of the apartment door.
She heard that the annual Limon Carnival had begun and wanted to go to the municipal square to take a look.
At this time last year, the Carnival was not held due to the war, which disappointed Jasmine. After that, she suffered the biggest trauma in her life and kept hiding at home, not daring or wanting to go out.
Perhaps because he has been closed for too long and has always been confined to such a narrow environment at home, Jasmine has always wanted to go out on the streets recently and want to walk around, just like in the past.
As she turned her eyes, she saw her now from the large glass window of the street shop:
His whole body was pitch black and there was no variegation. The long skirt reached the ankle position. The mesh of the hat covered most of the face. It was wrapped layer by layer from the bottom of his eyes to the neck. He wore a glove made of wool on his palms.
This is completely different from Jasmine's cheerful and lively self.
In the previous war, a shell blew up Jasmin and her parents' original home and brought a fire that burned her face and left her body full of trauma.
If it weren't fortunate enough, Jasmin would have died of that serious injury, but even so, she felt that her life seemed to have been terminated at that moment.
Now her nose has been burned, leaving only two black holes, with many traces of flames left on her face, neck, and hands. If she walks in the dark, she can play the role of a demon.
One thing Jasmin remembered clearly was that on the first night of moving to this apartment, she had cleaned her body in the public bathroom before going to bed. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a teenager coming over, and the teenager also saw her.
Under the crimson moonlight, the boy showed an extremely frightened expression, as if he would jump up, turn around, and run away at any time.
Finally, he controlled himself and just walked a few steps aside, not daring to look at Jasmine's face again.
This pierced Jasmin's fragile heart. From that day on, she no longer went out. Even if she wanted to clean up her body, she would wait until the night was quiet.
In this regard, she was very grateful to her parents because they said nothing, and tried hard to maintain their lives. They rely on their original savings and the job they found later to barely support their family and do not need Jasmin to go out to get a salary.
After walking a distance, Jasmine saw Limon Municipal Plaza, the main venue of the Carnival.
The crowds of people there, the catharsis of various emotions there, and the warm atmosphere there made Jasmin subconsciously stop.
She didn't dare to get close, for fear of being noticed by others, and for fear of letting her scarf fall off if she accidentally did.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she stopped completely, found a clean place on the street, sat down, and focused on looking at the Municipal Plaza.
It took Jasmine to notice that there were more people around her.
It was a young man in a black robe and a top hat, like a magician from a circus.
The Municipal Square is there... Jasmine wanted to remind her, but her lips moved a few times and still did not open.
She dared not and did not want to talk to others.
However, the young man came over, took off his hat, bent down slightly and said:
Miss, do you know what this machine does?
machine?Jasmin subconsciously looked up, following the young man's gaze in a daze, and looked to the side.
Under the gas street light, a small wardrobe-like machine stood there at some point.
Its surface is brass-colored and is inlaid with several pieces of glass without any transparency. The gears, bearings, rivets, metal pipes and other parts are directly exposed to the outside, making it look very rough.
Jasmine withdrew her gaze and shook her head, saying that she didn't know what the machine did.
At the same time, this also expresses her intention to refuse communication.
It is called the 'full automatic wishing machine'.The young man smiled and introduced, "This is my invention that can automatically realize the wish of the manipulator. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Merlin Hermes, a wandering magician."
Fully automatic wishing machine…Jasmin found that he could understand every word, but he couldn't combine them together.
You can try it, as the first experiencer, for free.Klein, who transformed into Merlin Hermes, said with a smile.
Jasmin shook his head and refused to communicate.
Klein was not discouraged at all, and looked at the other party and said:
For example, you can make a wish to change yourself back to your original appearance.
This sentence was like a sharp arrow, shot into Jasmin's heart, which made her stand up and hurriedly retreated and tried to leave.
She suspected that the other party had seen what she was now.
How do you know that your wish will not come true if you don’t try it?You don't need anything to pay.Klein said, looking at her background, speaking slowly.
Jasmine's pace gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
If she could turn back to what she was, even if she needed to pay a lot of money, she would be willing to chase her.
But she knew that the wish in her heart was unfulfilled by money.
No need to pay anything... try for free... What if it happens... Jasmin's mind was ups and downs, and he slowly turned around as if he was tempted by a devil.
real?she asked in a bitter voice.
Klein pointed to the machine:
I can exit ten meters away, and all you need to do is turn the wrench on that machine.
You don't need to take off your hat and scarf.
The last sentence touched Jasmine, she nodded quickly and said:
good.
After Merlin Hermes retreated for a while, Jasmin approached the machine and carefully clenched the wrench on the door.
She was actually worried that she would encounter pranks after turning, such as being poured on her head by water. This is what happens every year on Carnival. She and her friends have teased others like this, but compared to being able to realize her wish, she felt that it was affordable.
Even if it is finally proven that there will be no such good thing as fulfilling your wish, it can be regarded as her experience of attending the carnival.
Remember to make your wish before turning.Klein, not far away, reminded him.
Jasmin calmed down and said his wish almost silently:
I want to turn back to what I was before being burned by fire.
After saying that, she turned the wrench nervously and expectantly.
The next second, the door of the fully automatic wishing machine opened, and an ordinary wood-colored cane stretched out, touching Jasmin's forehead.
When Jasmin didn't pay attention, she had a gold ring with ruby inlaid on her hand.
When the wood-colored cane retracted inside the fully automatic wishing machine, the gold ring with rubies inlaid also disappeared.
In the sound of the gears turning, Jasmin saw the machine's door slowly closing.
Is this the end?She thought a little confused.
She didn't experience the feeling of wish fulfillment, nor did she encounter mischief, everything seemed so weird.
Congratulations on your wish fulfilled.Klein walked back and applauded softly, like a witness.
The wish came true... How could this be possible... Jasmin had just flashed this idea and suddenly felt something more under the scarf.
Something was pushed up again in the place where there were only two black holes left!
Jasmin hesitated and slowly raised his palm, touched his face, and clearly felt the existence of his nose.
And her experience of breathing proves this.
She turned her back to Merlin Hermes, walked to a shop on the street, and turned her eyes to the glass windows in the light of the gas street lights.
Immediately afterwards, she took off the scarf that wrapped her face layer by layer.
One of her eyes was not big, her nose was not straight, her lips were not plump, and the girl's face, with a little freckle, shone on the window.
Jasmin subconsciously raised his hand and covered his mouth, with light and mist inside his eyes.
After a few seconds, she raised her arms, wiped her face with her sleeve, turned around and looked at Merlin Hermes and said:
Are you God?
I'm just a magician who loves to create miracles.Klein smiled and pointed to the machine next to him. What you should thank the most is it, the ‘full automatic wishing machine’.
Fully automatic... Jasmin was emotional and repeated subconsciously.
Klein nodded and said:
Yes, a "full automatic wishing machine" that can be operated by itself without the help of others.
You can understand it as a gas meter. As long as you put coins in, you can realize your wishes like you get gas.
The specific steps are simple, invest 1p, make your wish, and turn the wrench.
Remember, only three wishes can be realized.
While explaining, Klein laughed at himself in his heart:
If one day I unfortunately die and become a seal, I hope it is something similar to a fully automatic wishing machine.
After leaving Conston, the capital of Jianhai County, Klein changed the way he fulfilled his wishes, so as not to be bored:
People always have to learn to find fun in boring work.
This is really amazing...Jasmin couldn't find any words to describe his inner feelings.
Her agitation was a lot of her emotions.
It, I mean this ‘full automatic wishing machine’, will it always be here?Jasmin asked hesitantly.
Klein smiled and said:
Won't.
It may stay here for three days, or it may not be that long, and maybe it will disappear when the sun rises.
But it won't be seen forever, and maybe one day you'll see it at the corner of the street again.
Jasmin's mind was so messy that he couldn't sort out his thoughts. He could only bow seriously to the machine:
Thank you, Mr. ‘full automatic wishing machine’.
Then she saluted Klein again:
Thank you, Mr. Hermes.
Before he finished speaking, Jasmin remembered what Merlin Hermes had just said, and asked with anticipation, surprise and quite embarrassed:
Can three wishes be realized?
Yes, but it will no longer be free after that, and you need to invest coins.Klein replied without any mind.
Jasmine wrapped her scarf around her face and walked out of the apartment door.
She heard that the annual Limon Carnival had begun and wanted to go to the municipal square to take a look.
