I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Bandage Man escaped and came to the island. As an assassin with official secret orders, he issued a wanted order at the island's government office.

The protagonist and Amber were also present and heard the wanted notice. They knew that their peaceful life would always be broken like this.

The protagonist entered the government office alone, wanting to kill the bandaged man, and then fly away with Amber.

Ms. Merritt drained her glass.

She watched intently as the protagonist fought with the opponent and killed the bandaged man.

Then Ms. Merritt saw the monster.

From a rotten coin, the ferocious monster from the beginning of the film appears in the house.

These monsters can corrode and infect everything. Those who fell on the ground were assimilated into monsters while wailing in pain. Even the dog that seemed to have no opponent could not move freely among the spreading black mist. .

"Oh no."

Seeing this, Ms. Merritt had already guessed the next plot.

She saw the black mist swallowing the island and transforming the people on the island into twisted monsters. She saw the protagonist and the dog escape, taking the girl and her mother with them. She saw Amber witnessing all this and making her own s Choice.

The pale flame ignited, giving Ms. Merritt a sacred meaning.

Seeing the colorful black flames burning away all the filth, the girl standing in the flowing flames, Ms. Merritt's mind also flashed through the daily life of the two people before.

She was also momentarily conflicted.

This kind of contradiction is not the tit-for-tat contradiction between the two factions in the plot, but the contradiction about the girl's choice, whether to give up her responsibilities and wander around the world, or to stick to her responsibilities and give up her freedom.

In the eyes of the French people who advocate freedom, living in seclusion and running away is the best choice. Anyway, as long as the white flag is raised, everything will be solved.

But as the plot unfolds, Ms. Merritt feels that if she does not protect such a world, more tragedies will occur.

These tragedies are not just numbers, they are happening before our eyes.

Those twisted and terrifying monsters can only be resisted by witches.

And Ms. Merritt knew that Amber had made her choice.

She chose the world.

Ms. Merritt poured another glass of wine, which she drank in one gulp.

She rarely got drunk, but now, she would like to be a little drunker, think a little less, and just follow the plot of the movie.

Even the huge cherry blossom trees in full bloom and the continuous red torii gates on Wajima Island made Ms. Merritt unable to get excited.

She was filled with melancholy and melancholy of parting.

For Ms. Merritt, the ten-minute plot of Wajima Taisha Shrine was a plot that gradually became excessive.

Through the opinions of the people she met on Miko and Kohaku, she gradually constructed an answer that she couldn't refuse.

That's why it's best for Amber to stay here.

It is precisely because of this helplessness that Ms. Merritt feels a deeper sadness.

If something is wrong, then the character does it and gives up something good, which will make people feel angry, regretful, and unwilling.

But when this thing is right, it can only make people lament the impermanence of fate and lament the helplessness of life.

All of this reached its peak during the competition when Amber hit the bullseye with ten arrows in a row.

Both the protagonist and the audience already know at this point that the ending is doomed, Amber will go to the attic, and the protagonist will only continue to wander in the sea.

The indescribable sadness lingers in Ms. Merritt's heart. It is strange that many movies in the past could not resonate with her so strongly. But now, as an experienced film critic, she is deeply moved by the sadness in the movie. And lament.

Before the ceremony, Amber came to the protagonist's house. The conversation between the two was very ordinary, as if they would meet again tomorrow, as if they could continue to be together in the future.

Finally, Amber tells the protagonist that the moonlight will be beautiful tonight.

As the piano background music tightened, all the emotions reached a high point at this time.

Ms. Merritt burst into tears.

She saw the ceremonial flames, the people laughing, and the world that was about to remain at peace.

It was so beautiful, but she always felt that she had lost something.

"It is indeed a deeply touching film."

Ms. Merritt had to admit that this movie achieved the ultimate in the ambiguous and sad atmosphere. The plot itself was not slow and relaxed. The choices of different people outlined the whole world, and Amber, this innocent The girl who is pure, gentle, kind, and hard-working has been deeply embedded in Ms. Merritt's heart.

The cast was supposed to come next, and Ms. Merritt relaxed a little. She tried to gather her thoughts, but she couldn't get started.

Picking up the wine bottle, she was about to pour a glass of wine to calm down a little, but the screen suddenly lit up again.

Ms. Merritt looked over.

She saw that the protagonist was preparing to pack his things and leave, but when he stared at the attic, he had a slight wave of emotion.

He came to the main hall, the blocked location, and used the mask he got from the bandaged man to turn into smoke and sneak into it.

This courtyard was supposed to be a residence for retired mikos, but it was empty.

Only the cold moonlight shines.

The protagonist felt something was wrong. He entered the shrine and saw a row of shelves in the darkness and saw the neatly arranged urns.

Ms. Merritt found it strange why she still needs to show these things now. It would be too redundant to say that the two people are completely different and will never see each other again.

Her curiosity became more and more intense along with the protagonist's exploration. When the protagonist left the courtyard where the retired witch supposedly lived and found that no one had lived there for many years, Ms. Merritt's heart skipped a beat.

She thought about something not so good.

But there is still hope for everything.

Ms. Merritt sat up straight, and she saw the protagonist finally heading towards the attic.

Suddenly, Ms. Merritt seemed to smell a burning smell.

It smells like an animal burning in flames.

The attic was mottled with scorch marks everywhere, and the heavy lock on the door announced the fact that it could not be opened.

If this place cannot be opened...

Ms. Merritt's heart skipped a beat.

She followed the protagonist into the attic, saw a mess on the first floor, saw blood stains on the second floor, and then came to the third floor.

In the original idea, Ms. Merritt thought that Amber should be dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting in the attic with clear windows, shooting flaming arrows solemnly and resolutely to protect the world.

However, when Ms. Merritt saw Amber, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
