NO.47 Distant Prayer (3)
Gan Tian continued, "This is where the crazy history of this gentleman with a long name begins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Lost his goal, he is still collecting the wealth of this world, the so-called royal blood of this world, and those things that are mysteriously hidden in the corners of this world. For more than ten years after that, he was mixed in the red dust, and the money came and went, scattered and scattered, but he never remarried, maybe he was still thinking about the princess. Such days are broken the day he meets Chrissy. Chrissy is one of the leaders of a cult, and the ignorant cultists call her High Priestess. Like many cults, this cult creates cohesion by indulging people's desires, so to speak, Chrissy gradually grows from a victim to a perpetrator. Perhaps because the two were both hurt people, they naturally came together. ”
Su Xing gave Chrissy many, many things that she had never thought of before, and Chrissy introduced her religion to Su Xing. I think they might still really like each other during this time, and then they just use each other. Chrissy used Su Xing to purge her congregation and establish her own absolute authority. And Su Xing uses Chrissy to indulge himself and pursue the dream he has always wanted to fulfill. Together with the congregation, they began to work around an ancient legend, and that old legend is inextricably linked to our current situation. ”
The madman sighed, "It's finally the point!"
"Eight kings, eight souls, eight sacrifices, gods and gods save the world," Gan Tian said, "this is the name of the ancient ritual that the cult has passed down from generation to generation, and this ritual is used to summon the so-called god." As the name suggests, if this ritual is to be completed, it requires the souls of eight ancient royal families. After the ritual is completed, there will be a so-called god who will come down and save the world. But Su Xing didn't know what the so-called salvation meant, but what he mentioned in that letter should be the reshaping after destruction. I think the cult must have performed this ritual for a long time, but it just seemed to fail. In that letter, Su Xing mentioned that now is the right time to hold the ceremony, and I think this is the result of that failure. ”
The madman asked, "Is this other world the power of that god?"
Gan Tian said: "It was mentioned in that letter, in the ancient legend of that cult. Before the true body of God comes to this sinful world, God will judge the world with His supreme power, the boundaries between falsehood and truth will be blurred, those things that are hidden will be magnified, and everything will be hidden before God. If my guess is correct, the space we are in is a change from the original villa, and the monsters are the people who lived here. ”
The madman was surprised and said, "Now that we are in this world, can we also be turned into that kind of monster?"
Gan Tian shook his head and said, "Your question is meaningless at all. ”
The madman smiled bitterly, "Well, I guess I really shouldn't have interjected." Then, the madman really didn't interject.
Gan Tian continued: "In order to fulfill their common wish, Su Xing and Chrissy worked together, and they used a special method to collect the souls of the ancient royal family. Strange and plausible, they used the royal family's own flesh to imprison the royal souls. Sometimes, when the imprisoned royal family died, they would use a special flower to plant on the corpse, which was said to allow the royal soul to live with the flower for a while. When these flowers wither, it is also the time when the soul of the royal family dissipates. Through this method, they collected the souls of one royal family after another. Su Xing is also going further and further on the path of finding his own bloodline, and if it weren't for Aruon, maybe everything would have gone like this. ”
Lavinia suddenly said, "That gentleman actually loves Mr. Aruon very much. ”
"I know," Gan Tian said, giving Lavinia a deep look, and continued, "but Monsieur Arouon had always hated the gentleman with his long name, at least until he died. Because the one who killed Aruon's real parents was the gentleman with a long name. ”
"What!" Lavinia's eyes widened as if she had seen something unbelievable. If Gan Tian hadn't spoken out in time, I'm afraid she would have fallen into that state of being hit again.
"Su Xing probably feels lonely, I can feel it, the feeling of being abandoned by the world. "So he changed his plans and decided to adopt the child, and for a while treated him as his own son." He never forgot his original purpose and his wish for the world to be purified. So he never realized that while he was deceiving Aruon, he was not only deceiving himself, but he was also being deceived by Aruon. In order for him to be able to make up his mind on the day of the ceremony, Chrissy had already secretly arranged for Aruon to learn the truth. On the day when the ceremony was about to take place, everything was revealed, and Chrissy proudly asked Su Xing to make a choice, and Su Xing chose Aruon in his heart. It wasn't until he was about to lose Aruon that Su Xing suddenly realized that he had already regarded this child as his successor, and everything he had been pursuing was meaningless in front of the feelings in front of him. So, using all his wisdom, he wrote the letter while trying to get Arouon out of the place, and asked Madame Jane Margaret, the only one in the villa who had not been tainted by the cult, to deliver it to Monsieur Arouon. Like the will that had been prepared a long time ago, this lady with her own strong orthodox religious beliefs was the back hand that Su Xing unknowingly laid down. But Su Xing didn't expect that Chrissy would come so quickly, and all his efforts came to naught. He had been hoping to change the world, and in the end, he became a sacrifice for his own sacrifice. That ritual should have started a long time ago, and the power of the gods should have been released a long time ago, and what is going on now is probably the final coming of the gods. ”
Seeing that Gan Tian had no intention of continuing, the madman spoke: "In other words, since we came here, has that god already started to move? Then Su Xing called us here to break this puzzle, and his trust really moved me a little ......" The latter words, the madman did not say anything because of the dignity of the deceased.
"That's right, when we came here, everything here was no longer real, or more accurately, there were a lot of false xenodimensions mixed in with the real world. For example, the extremely unreasonable walkway in this villa, and the rotten staircase, and the family's behavior is a little strange. ”
"As you say," said Lavinia, trembling, "is it possible that even we are fake?"
Gan Tian clenched her hand and smiled: "I think the power of the so-called god is still quite limited at the moment, and you see that the world it creates is basically a deleted version of the real world, or an adapted version. What is even more obvious is that the people we saw in previous reality are real. Maybe you don't believe your naked eye, but the madman has shone with his hardened titanium eyes, there's no doubt about that. ”
"Really?" Lavinia looked at Gantian with a blank eye.
"Really," Gan Tian glanced ahead after giving an affirmative reply, and continued, "Now I'll tell you about Sophia and Lisa. ”
Lavinia immediately exclaimed, "By the way, Lisa, she, won't she be ...... too"
"Don't worry," Gan Tian said with a little comfort, "Lisa is still so young, how can she be a cultist." In fact, it was mentioned in Su Xing's letter that she was really Sophia and Aruon's child, but her surname was excavated from a long history like Su Xing's. Although Su Xing did not regard them as objects of sacrifice, Chrissy had already planned them. Su Xing didn't understand until that last moment that Sophia had already joined the cult and was a very devout follower. ”
"It's horrible!" Lavinia clutched her chest with one hand, her face worried, "but what does this have to do with Lisa? ”
Gan Tian said with a solemn face: "Originally, there was no mention of this information in Su Xing's letter, but my intuition tells me that Ms. Sophia is not as Ailisha as you imagined. ”
"It's crazy," Lavinia's voice grew lower, "are they going to sacrifice Lisa?"
"I'm afraid so. ”
Lavinia, who received the reply, was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Then, Gantian, what are you going to do?"
'Doesn't my opinion matter at all?'
Gan Tian said decisively: "Of course I will find the place where the ceremony will take place, and then stop these crazy people." ”
The madman coughed dryly and said, "Gan Tian, how do you think we should stop them?"
Lavinia said nervously, "The other party is a god!"
"I don't care what it is, we can't get out of here anyway if we don't bring that bastard down. Gan Tian's tone was so natural, as if they were not walking on a dangerous road that could fall at any time.
"Wait," Exclaimed Lavinia, suddenly realizing something, "Are we going down that road?"
The madman reluctantly asked, "Teacher, did you really find out until now?"
"When...... Of course not," Lavinia said with a grin, "the teacher already knew that the teacher had stepped on that loose, weird ...... Ahh At this moment, Gan Tian let go of her hand.
In an instant, Lavinia's Esperanto had another language that Gantian didn't understand at all, and she waved her hands like a drowning person, trying to grab something to stop her fall. However, in an instant, the foot she stepped on in the air landed on the solid ground. The thick feeling reminded her of the stone floors in reality, and it made her react quickly to the fact that she had left the threatening path and came to a staircase-like place at the end.
The madman stood less than a meter away from Lavinia with a strange expression, he didn't speak, but this silence had a stronger mockery for Lavinia at this time.
Lavinia was stunned for a moment, and slowly lowered her hands, and was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, when she saw the madman running quickly towards the flashing exit.
'How can there be light in that door!' Lavinia was surprised and excited at the same time, she had had had enough of the darkness and gore of this world, and hurried to follow in the footsteps of the madman.
Connected to this wooden door, it is a fantastic world of beauty for Lavinia.
The moonlight fills the courtyard and the garden is covered by the quiet of the night. The most is the bright moon, as if it can be reached by reaching out, and it makes people afraid of the cold like the end of the world. The breeze caressed some of the petals and couldn't help but leave their branches, dancing in the air with the breeze, as if they were going to the bright moon to play. But they still could not escape the gravitational pull of the earth, and they fell lightly, on the ground, on the grass, on the two seekers who were out of place in the landscape.
"Is this the real world?" Lavinia walked slowly into the garden, which was very similar to the garden of the villa she remembered. When she looked back, the villa seemed to be very normal, except for the black hole door with no door panel, everything was exactly the same as reality!
No one responded.
Lavinia caught a petal and said, "Now, I think the world should still be fake, you look at this flower, it's so perfect, but it seems a little fake." ”
The reality of no response made Lavinia realize that she was about to be left behind by Gan Tian and them. So she called their names and chased after them.
Seeing Lavinia catch up, the madman said solemnly, "Teacher, if you continue to be distracted like this, it will be very dangerous. ”
Lavinia was about to retort, but Gan Tian also said solemnly: "I also think that there is something wrong with Teacher Lavinia's behavior, you must know that a terrifying ritual is going on somewhere here, and we don't have time to waste on this." ”
"The teacher knows," Lavinia said with a sad face and a very depressed face, "and the teacher has been hoping that Lisa will be okay." ”
The madman seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "I wanted to ask just now, why the garden?"
"Do you remember Mr. Arouon's explanation of the coffin at the beginning?"
"I don't remember. ”
"Your answer is really unexpected," Gan Tian said helplessly, "because in this garden, there is a tomb that Su Xing built earlier." As I expected, this was where the ceremony would take place. ”
The madman suddenly realized: "I see, death is the end of everything, and it will also become the beginning of a new world!" But in the middle of the madman's words, Gan Tian resolutely left, seeing what he was going to continue to seek.
"Are you so hated to listen to me?" said the madman indignantly. At this moment, Lavinia walked up to his side and said, "Liu Daocheng, do you feel that after reading that letter, Gan Tian is a little different from before. ”
The madman thought for a moment and asked, "What does the teacher think is different about him?"
"The teacher thinks that he seems to be more mature than the teacher. ”
The madman didn't know how to answer, so he followed Gan Tian's footsteps, which directly caused him not to hear Lavinia's next sentence, "This kind of Gan Tian classmate unexpectedly feels very reliable." ”
In the middle of the garden, they found the tombs, each one, empty, as if waiting for something to fill them.
From right to left, they looked down one by one, and on top of the tombstones, "Aruon Kea", "Chrissy Reeves", and "Lisa York" were written in turn......
Lavinia trembled as she translated the names in Esperanto, and when she saw Lisa's name, she smiled reluctantly, "It seems that the gentleman has a long-term plan!"
Soon, however, Lavinia stopped talking.
Gan Tian frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Lavinia didn't speak, but walked briskly past the next few tombstones, and after looking back and forth a few times, she told Gan Tian that among these tombstones, there were also tombstones that belonged to them.
Gan Tian touched his head and said seriously: "Lavinia, in fact, I think it's not bad to sleep here." ”
The madman also cooperated: "Gan Tian, are you serious?"
"That's enough!" Ravinia finally erupted. But she didn't say anything, and went straight to the last tombstone.
On the last tombstone, there was a long list of names, and even if Lavinia did not give them a translation, they knew that it was the tombstone of the gentleman with the long name.
In the tomb of this gentleman, there is a sloping walkway, which extends down into the unknown dark distance.
Gan Tian handed the flashlight to the madman and said, "As for the strength of the flesh, you are the strongest among us, and the danger ahead will be handed over to you." ”
"Good!" Without hesitation, the madman took the flashlight, took a battery out of his bag and replaced it, and then went down.
After the madman went down, Lavinia tried to follow, but was stopped by Gan Tian. She asked Gan Tian in surprise, "Do you want me to go to the end?"
"I didn't mean that," Gan Tian said, "but if we go down this time, we will inevitably encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and maybe we won't be able to come back." ”
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Actually, I have a question that I always hope the teacher can answer to me. ”
Lavinia trembled when she heard this, and waved her hand again and again: "The teacher only teaches Esperanto, don't ask me any irrelevant questions!"
"This should be regarded as a question related to Esperanto," Gan Tian pondered, and just as he was about to speak, Lavinia suddenly covered his mouth and said very eagerly: "You wait a minute, let me prepare mentally first." ”
'The woman of Kongzhou is really incomprehensible,' Gan Tianyu slandered.
After a while, Lavinia finally let go of Gan Tian and said reassuringly, "The teacher is ready, you can ask." ”
"Why is the teacher here tutoring Lisa?"
Lavinia was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "This is what you always want to know?"
"yes. ”
"Hehe, I see," Lavinia's laughter revealed an eerie aura at this moment, completely subverting Gan Tian's previous cognition. But after this somewhat terrifying laughter, Lavinia walked into the tunnel with a calm expression, and threw Gan Tian a sentence, "Wait until you are an adult to ask me." And he left.
"I just want to know something about Lisa!" Gan Tian shrugged helplessly and walked along.
