Chapter 37: Prophecy—A Study of the Scrolls

"Yes, not exactly. www.biquge.info Mr. Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is a secret, since Bai Gongzi calls you that, I will also call you that, right?" Since Bai Gongzi is a world peeper, I don't have to hide anything from you, En......" Speaking of this, Mr. Fan thought for a moment, "Bai Gongzi, do you know the discovery process of the Holy City Scrolls?" ”

"Well, I've heard my father talk about it."

"I don't know where your father, Mr. Bai, learned about the Holy City Scrolls, that doesn't matter, you should know that the ancient scrolls we found were written on paper made of various materials, right?"

“…… Parchment and papyrus? ”

"Well, in fact, some of them are made of clay tablets, some of them are made of stone tablets, in short, those ancient scrolls are not only different in material, but also in content, no, it should be said that they are not very different, but the content of the ancient scrolls of the same material is basically the same."

"Huh?" Mr. Fan said that I was more and more confused, and when I peeked at Bai Gongzi, he also had a puzzled expression.

Not quite the same? Why is it different? Does it mean that the record is inaccurate or that the record is not a thing?

"Don't understand? Scold! I mean, there are a lot of contradictions in the scrolls themselves. ”

"You're saying those scrolls aren't a person...... Or was it written by a group of people? After thinking for a while, Bai Suiyun asked.

Let's take the most complete parchment scroll, which does predict many things, as just mentioned, the great flood, the great tribulation. The Great Plague...... And the world war, the end of the world, the day of judgment or something. Of course, this is based on the time when the parchment was buried, and many of the prophecies in it have already occurred in our real world, such as the Great Flood that flooded the entire world, and the Great Catastrophe that destroyed a city, all of which were confirmed by the archaeologists of our association, and even the birth of the Son of God. The crucifixion and resurrection are prophesied and some have not yet happened, which we want to avoid now. ”

"We all know this. Any questions? And also...... What about the scrolls of other materials? Bai Suiyun asked.

"The other materials tell the same story, but most of them happen at a different time than on parchment."

"Different?" Bai Suiyun was strange.

"Yes, and sometimes it happens in a different order, in different places, and even in different people!"

"This ......" Bai Suiyun muttered for a long time. Finally, he hesitated and asked. "Some are pseudo-volumes?"

"If some of them are pseudo-volumes, then they are all pseudo-volumes!" Mr. Fan replied with a wry smile.

"How?"

"The earlier the time from us, the more accurate the prediction, and the more similar the content of several ancient scrolls, but the closer the time, the more inaccurate the prediction is In fact, the parchment has long predicted that there will be an end of the world on our continent five hundred years ago."

"And yet it didn't happen?"

"That's right! Counting from the time of the prophecy of the end of the world, the non-god association has been passed down for four times, but the so-called end of the world has not happened. ”

"Could it be ......" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Was it stopped in advance by Mr. Fan's association?" Aren't you gods the guardians of the world? Not always avoided"

"The Association has only been the guardian of the world for nearly two hundred years." Mr. Fan smiled and shook his head at me, "In the past, the non-divine association only called itself a 'wait-and-seeer' or a 'witness to miracles', but now everything is prophesied by God. It's all God's arrangement, and it's useless for small humans to do anything, right? So the day before the end of the world prophesied on parchment, we had a lot of people commit suicide. ”

"Suicide?"

"Follow the miracles! Since God has decided the end of the world, and has decided our death, then we will die according to God's will, and dying early can at least avoid the catastrophe of the end of the world, right? Mr. Fan explained.

Belch...... Because of this suicide?

Is it because God arranged it?

Woo! People don't understand!

Even if God has arranged the end of the world, don't you remember that the holy book says that there will be people alive after the end of the world, and those who survive can follow in God's footsteps again? If you die early, isn't there no hope at all?

If it's me...... If it's me......

Kindness......

Maybe it would be if there was only one person left? If...... If

"But the end of the world didn't happen, did it?" While I was thinking nonsense, Bai Suiyun then asked Mr. Fan.

"Well, we are not a god and the Association also knew from that time that the disaster prophesied could be avoided."

"And then became the Guardian of the World? By the way, Mr. Fan, what did the listeners and peepers say five hundred years ago? Is there any document? ”

Yes, and that's what ultimately led to the belief that the end would happen, and both the peep and the listener reported that they saw and heard the end of the world! And it describes in detail the tragic situation at that time! ”

"This ...... It's weird! Bai Suiyun silently picked up the teacup, but didn't bring it to his lips for a long time, "En...... Mr. Fan, you just said parchment...... What about the others? Let's say papyrus? ”

"The same prediction of the end of the world, but a hundred years after the end of the parchment prophecy, but it did not happen, as for the other kinds of ancient scrolls, it is the same, about the origin of the world, floods, disasters and so on are very accurate, but in the past five hundred years, some are predictions of the end of the world, some are world wars, and some do not have any predictions of disasters at all!"

How so?

Doesn't it say that the Holy City Scrolls are God's prophecies? Is it God's book that he left behind to guide people?

Why is there such a strange content, and even the prophecies of the end of the world are messed up?!

Could it be that these scrolls are fake? Or are they not all complete scrolls, and the events that were prophesied but did not happen were made up by other people?! Maybe...... Has it been tampered with?

"Now you must think there's something wrong with these scrolls, right?" Mr. Fan got up and poured himself a glass of water, "But I can guarantee that those scrolls, at least the ones I have seen, are definitely the ones that were originally excavated from the Holy City, and they have never been tampered with, although the prophecies on the scrolls for nearly five hundred years are not accurate, but in the past five hundred years, many things have not happened, almost everything has indeed happened as predicted by the scrolls, after all, the scrolls are not just prophesied disasters, right?" But again, the timing of those events is different from that of the scrolls! ”

“…… In other words, the things recorded in the ancient scrolls do not care about time...... It's going to happen, isn't it? Bai Suiyun's expression became more and more solemn, "It's just like the scenes I saw, but it's just unclear when it happened?" ”

"That's it, so I said that even if Bai Gongzi, you borrowed the ancient scrolls, it won't be of much use to you, now you should understand what I mean, right?"

An uncertain disaster? So, what the Non-God Society has been saying about the disaster that may be related to Lacey may happen now, maybe more than a decade later? …… More likely hundreds of years from now?

Just because of such an ethereal disaster? Just because of this, you want to kill Lacey? Isn't that sloppy?! It's too much to say!

"That'...... How did you know for sure that a disaster was about to happen in the near future? And so sure it has something to do with Threstin?! Bai Suiyun asked the question before me.

"Do you think our association has done nothing for hundreds of years? We've been studying these scrolls for a long time! Mr. Fan held up his fingers, "First, we know that what the scrolls prophesied will happen; Second, through the peepers and listeners, we can roughly know the outcome of what happened, and from what they saw and heard, we can also judge whether it happened in the recent past. Third, although I don't know how the original end of the world was avoided, if it can be avoided once, it can also be avoided a second time! ”

"Makes sense!"

"Therefore, our original church association has absorbed a large number of excellent non-church talents for research and judgment, and some of them also have a certain ability to predict, although they are not as good as you as a peeper. At the same time, we also use astrologers, alchemists, archaeologists, humanities scholars, naturalists, etc., to determine as much as possible the nature, scope, place, and time of the world's disasters and try to avoid them. ”

"The end result of your research is Lacey? So you want to kill him? "Although I can understand what Mr. Fan is engaged in, I still can't accept their final decision.

"Sorry, we can't actually confirm this, we just know that Thresteen is just the most unstable point in this world." Mr. Fan bowed slightly with some shame, "According to our original thoughts, we just want to observe him slowly, but those elders of the association prefer to use a simple and effective way, after all, it will be troublesome when it grows into a big tree!" ”

"What is the reason for this...... Do you care so little about human life? "Although I complained so much about Mr. Frank of the Non-God Society in the orphanage, I can't help but say it now.

Sure enough, Mr. Fan's answer was almost the same as Mr. Frank's: "What is a person's life compared to the future of the world?" We're for"

"But!" Bai Suiyun interrupted him with some dissatisfaction, "He is also a life after all!" Thresteen also has his raison d'être! ”

"Yes, so we weren't prepared to kill him in the first place," the non-god association was not guilty at all, and Mr. Fan was the same, "We will only erase his existence when necessary!" ”

"What do you mean by a necessary moment?!"

"I don't know about that, but ...... Before that could happen, Thresteen was killed by the Masked Man...... Bai Gongzi now returns to the original question, what exactly is the mask man?! What exactly is their purpose?! (To be continued......)
