When I was pulled back to the small attic by the sea, my whole body was loose.

Collapsed in the small attic, panting.

A lot flashed through my head, why the sea should help me and so on.

I was lying on the floor of the little attic, and I knew that my back was covered with dust.

The place where my neck and head touched the ground started to feel a little uncomfortable, but I didn't care.

Because I was tired, I just wanted to lie down, and my hands were already out of strength and starting to tremble. I can't hold on to things anymore, I can't exert my strength.

I wondered if I would have died if I had waited a few minutes, or if I hadn't been careful.

The sea watched my actions and sat on the sidelines, turning off the flashlight on the side.

In the dimly lit room at this time, I could only hear my own gasps.

"Ask, I know you're full of doubts right now. The sea said.

After a moment, I panted and said, "Why is there an island country's military uniform here?" ”

"It's been passed down from generation to generation. The sea said.

"Ancestors, so are your ancestors Chinese or devils?" I said.

The moment I finished speaking, I knew I was asking the wrong question, or that it shouldn't have been so direct.

"Of course Chinese, generations of Chinese. The sea said.

"China, so do you proselytize in China? Unorthodox Christianity, invasion of native culture?" I said.

The sea stomped on the ground and said, "We have to pass it down here in order to cover up the helplessness of the whole church." This attic thing can't be discovered by others, and that's what we're going to do. ”

"Who is the others?" I said.

"Everyone but the five of us. The sea said.

"Everyone?" I said.

"Yes, everyone. The sea said.

"And who are you afraid of?" I said.

"It's still everyone. "The sea took out the cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and came out with sparks and smells that I just noticed.

In the dimly lit room, cigarette butts shone with sparks.

"I heard what you said before, and you were going to tell me and let me follow you to guard this?" I said.

"So now you want to know?" said the sea.

"You're not bad people, are you?" I said without confidence.

The sea can really say that he has watched me grow up since I was a child, and I know that he is not a bad person from the moment I hung outside the small attic and did not say it. At that time, the sea would fall from a height of more than ten meters as long as I gently pushed the window.

In such a high place, if you don't die, you will be crippled.

And the sea not only hid it for me, it also pulled me back to the attic.

If the other four priests were all bad people, I believe that the sea was still a good person.

At least the way he's giving me now makes me think he can't be bad.

For more than 20 years, I have more than 10 years of memory.

I dare not say that the sea smells like my father, but the admiration is definitely not less.

The sea smiled bitterly and said, "I can tell the story of this door, but you will never be able to leave here after listening to it." ”

"What do you mean you can't leave?" I said.

"Join us in keeping this secret until we die, and pass it on. From generation to generation, pass on and then be conservative. The sea said.

"What kind of logic is this? The secret that can't be told?" I said.

"Yes, yes, you said it very vividly. It's just a secret that can't be said, it's quite ritualistic, isn't it?" said Dahai with a wry smile.

"I don't think you understand what I mean, a secret that people want to know but can't tell? Is this still a secret? It is better not to pass it on and forget all about it. I said.

However, this secret has been passed down for more than a hundred years. We are human witnesses, and these are physical evidence. The sea reached out and slapped it on the wooden table.

The sound of the wooden box being knocked sounded, but it was dark and nothing could be seen.

"It's not redundant. I said.

"I was the same as you back then, and I had the same reaction. But I'm not like you, I have to inherit. But when I listened to the story, I acquiesced to this kind of thing. This story is something to be proud of, but it can only be secretly proud. The sea said.

"I started to think you were just false priests, and now I suspect you are a cult. I sat up and said.

"You're better than we were back then, and I can give you a choice. Or go out without knowing anything, and never come back. Either listen to me tell the story and promise to help me keep it together. The sea said.

My first instinct was to judge for myself after knowing the story.

"Say it. I said.

"Don't interrupt me, I'll speak slowly. The sea said.

I nodded, and I guess I couldn't see the sea in the dark room.

A little star red lit up again, and I knew it was the sea that took another breath.

"Do you remember the military uniforms of the island nation? The sea said.

I didn't speak.

"Hey, are you listening?" said the sea.

"Didn't you let me interrupt?" I said.

"Well, you'd better interrupt. I haven't seen my wings harden for a few years, and you dare to be no bigger or smaller than me?" said the sea.

"Remember, the clothes in the wooden box. I said.

"So do you remember how many years the island nation invaded China?" said the sea.

"In 1937, the devil entered the Central Plains. Open the Lugou Bridge first, and then open the Shanhaiguan... I said lightly.

"It's a good song, this church was built in 1939. A returned overseas Chinese told us that the devils would not invade the churches of foreigners, so you should be able to understand what the things here are for, right?" The sea said.

"Do you want to say that this is an anti-Japanese war movie, or a spy war movie, the kind of place to receive spy reports?" I said.

"You're pretty good at it, but it's not far from what you say. It was here that my ancestors sent and received telegrams, and you found the bell in the window. Originally, there would have been a rope connected to the hallway below, and if someone outside was breaking in, it would pull the thread hidden in the wall pillars. The people above will know and prepare in advance. The sea said.

"What about the military uniform and the national flag? What if the devil forcibly comes up, puts on the military uniform and holds the national flag and pretends to be a devil?" I said.

"No, no, no, those clothes are really devils coming up. We killed seven of them and one flag. The sea said.

"I remember there were only four when I opened it, and that's what you say. Isn't it supposed to be a place of interest? Why can't you let others know about it? Spread the word, aren't your ancestors martyrs?" I said.

"The three missing pieces of clothing are the story I'm going to tell. This is also the reason why this place can only be a secret and cannot be praised. The sea said.

"Say, I won't interrupt you. I said that this feeling of contradiction and conflict made me very uncomfortable.
