On the rooftop of Saint Laurent Academy shrouded in blood-red moonlight, the witch met Ling Ye, the Silver Cross exorcist. The moment the sword edge reached his throat, Ling Ye saw the Thousand-Year Rose emblem on the girl's collarbone and pierced the sword into his own heart, completing the symbiosis contract. The silver buttons were stained with blood and burned with an inverted cross of thorns. The memory fragments cut through time and space like sharp blades, revealing the fate of a thousand years ago: the exorcist put a crown of thorns on the witch, and Ling Ye's blue eyes were exactly the same as the angel statue in the mural.
During the day, they are the top students of the college; at night, they repeat cruel rituals in the Castle of Eden. The girl blocked the fatal spell for Ling Ye, and the thorn vines wrapped around her heart suddenly tightened. They touched their lips in severe pain, but they tasted the truth more bitter than death: the witch was in love, and the contractor's flesh and blood nourished the curse.
The memory afterimages of reincarnation floated in the bloody corridors, and the Moonlight Church dungeon locked them. Ling Ye tampered with the ancient spell on the night of the lunar eclipse and transferred the heart-eating curse into her own soul. The girl finally saw the scene in the silver cross pendant: Exorcists of all generations have repeated the same action - stabbing the sword destined to penetrate the witch's heart decisively into her own chest.
"This time, I will be imprisoned for eternity." The girl held the hand of the first-generation exorcist that gradually became transparent in the time rift. The roses blooming in her hair penetrated through thousands of years and filled Ling Ye's body that was swallowed by thorns. The new contract emblem emerged in their overlapping heartbeats, which was the inscription of the ninety-ninth reincarnation intertwined with despair and hope.
