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 current self from the large glass window of the street shop:

The whole body was pitch black and there was no variegated color. The long skirt reached the ankle position. The mesh of the hat covered most of the face. It was wrapped in layers from the bottom of the eyes to the neck. The two palms were wearing gloves made of wool.

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 the serious injury, but even so, she felt that her life seemed to have been terminated at that moment.

Now her nose was burned, leaving only two dark holes, with many traces of flames 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 cleaned her body in the public bathroom before going to bed. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a boy coming over, and the boy also saw her.

Under the crimson moonlight, the young man 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 did not need Jasmin to go out to get their salary.

After walking a distance, Jasmin saw the main venue of the Carnival, Limon Municipal Plaza.

The crowds of people there, the catharsis of various emotions there, and the warm atmosphere there made Jasmin subconsciously stop his pace.

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 Square.

It took Jasmine to notice that there were more people around him.

It was a young man in a black robe and a top hat, like a magician from a circus.

The Municipal Square was 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 it is inlaid with several pieces of glass without transparency, gears, bearings, rivets, metal pipes and other parts that 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 was doing.

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 wishes of the operator. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Merlin Hermes, a wandering magician."

"Full-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, looked at the other party and said:

“For example, you can make a wish to change yourself back to what you were.”

This sentence was like a sharp arrow, shot into Jasmin's heart, which was so shocked that she stood up, hurriedly retreated, and tried to leave.

She suspected that the other party had seen what she was now.

"How can you know that your wish will not come true without trying it? It doesn't require you to pay anything." Klein looked at her background and said with a slow speech.

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 something that money could not achieve.

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.

"Really?" she asked in a harsh 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 explored and grasped the wrench on the "door".

She was actually worried that she would encounter pranks after turning, such as being poured onto her head by water - this is what happens every year on Carnival. She and her friends once 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.

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 "full 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 into the "full automatic wishing machine", the gold ring inlaid with rubies also disappeared.

In the sound of the gears rotating, Jasmin saw the machine's "door" slowly close.

This is 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 gently, 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 only two black holes were left!

Jasmin hesitated and slowly raised his palm, touched his face, and clearly felt the existence of his nose.

And her experience of breathing also proves this.

She turned her back to Merlin Hermes, walked to a shop on the street, and turned her eyes to the glass window with 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 her face with a little freckles 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 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'."

"Full automatic..." Jasmin was emotional and repeated subconsciously.

Klein nodded and said:

“Yes, the ‘full automatic wishing machine’ that can be operated on its own without the help of others.

“You can understand it as a gas meter, and just put in coins, you can realize your wishes like you get gas.

"The specific steps are simple, invest 1p, make your wish, and turn the wrench.

"Remember, there are only three wishes to be fulfilled."

While explaining, Klein laughed at himself:

If one day I unfortunately die and become a seal, I hope it is something similar to the "full automatic wishing machine".

——After leaving Conston, the capital of Jianhai County, Klein changed the way he realized other people’s wishes, so as not to be bored:

People always have to learn to find fun in boring work.

This is really magical... Jasmin couldn't find any words to describe his inner feelings.

Her agitation was a lot of her agitation.

"I mean, will this 'full automatic wishing machine' be here all the time?" Jasmin asked hesitantly.
To be continued...
