Chapter Eighty-Four: The Stairway to Hell

-

Opal Zirconium's mother quickly lost her favor after marrying Count Zirconium.

His mother was beautiful, but, according to his father, "Why are you so stubborn?"

And he also inherited everything from his mother, from his mother's appearance to her personality. He was "a paranoid child" from an early age, and their teaching said of him, "smart, but too sharp."

When his mother died of illness, his father asked him what he would like to do when he grew up, to which he replied, "I don't know, but I want to see other towns." He followed his uncle, who loved to travel, to live in the central government.

After his uncle left the center, he was entrusted to the care of his uncle's old friend.

In this way, he remained in the center.

Opal Zirconium seems to have lived a life of parasitism since birth, but that doesn't stop him from remembering many of the good things in life — when he was a child, his mother would take him back to his parents' house for a few months every summer.

It was a small low house, spliced together with pastures and farmland.

He followed his cousins and cousins to play in the wilderness, and heaven and earth would allow them to form that childlike friendship and accept their unfounded joy and enthusiasm.

Once he fell, was hit by a rock and broke his knee, bleeding profusely.

The children instinctively looked at the eldest of them (even though he was only two or three years older) and asked, "Jianing, what should I do now, the opal can't stand......

Opal remembered what the old doctor had taught him to bandage, and tried to tear the linen into strips.

But Jianing stopped him.

Jianing tore his clothes and bandaged his wounds. Then carry him back home.

Jianing's health has not been very good since he was a child, he heard what his aunt said. On the way home on his back, Opal leaned on his back, his tired breathing could be heard, and sweat could be smelled.

Opal later recalls this incident and realizes that Jianing didn't want to worry his younger brothers, who were already afraid of being scolded by their parents (and this gentleness and kindness made him never want to talk about his suffering, he suppressed the pain alone, and finally allowed others to kill him).

And for Opal, it was at that time that Opal first learned that the original family can be like this, and the original friendship can be like this. Instead of just a short period of care, the rest is lonely, lonely, and left out.

As it grows, as time passes, as the past becomes a longer past......

The house became warmer and brighter in Opal's eyes, carrying his heart's expectations for the world.

Then, that house shattered.

The colors shattered and fell off in pieces.

It is written in the Holy Book that God has said to the world, "Whoever believes in me, you are brothers to each other, and your wives are sisters to each other."

Opal didn't think that God had lied and made a mistake.

No, God can't be wrong.

It's people who are wrong.

It is those who falsely claim that "we are your believers, we are brothers", and it is those who are guilty, those who bully the "younger brothers" by claiming to be the authority of the "elder brothers".

They rebelled against God, and they deserved to be punished.

Even though God's gaze was far away in this cursed land, Heeron's weeping and cries could hardly reach God's ears anymore. But Opal believed that God was watching, God was loving, otherwise God would destroy everything here, instead of leaving the good light and sin here.

Opal made the Edelweiss stop on the cross of the Lord of the Empty Wheels and let it sing for the gods.

It was a narrow, dark room, with only a very narrow window at the height.

In the early days of the school, there was a strict system of discipline – the long, narrow room was originally intended for confinement, empty except for a few chairs and an empty wheel. However, the college was expanded to accommodate more students, and it was gradually abandoned, and almost no one has set foot in it recently.

But at this point, it's "full".

There is a fallen bird singing for God, there is a murderer with blood on his hands, there is an innocent person who has been acted upon by a potion of his own creation, and there are two guilty sleepers.

He was silently preparing, sometimes talking to himself, praying for God's forgiveness while whispering a plan he had imagined so many times.

He sat his friend in a chair and tied his body and hands to the back of the chair, then he hesitated for a moment, and finally blindfolded him with a strip of cloth - Opal didn't know exactly when the potion would work, after all, he had never intended to wake people back up before that, he would make sure of their eternal sleep before they woke up- Opal knew that the friend wouldn't want to see what he was about to do, and Opal feared that if Moshi could see it, he might cast his strange spells to stop him.

While carrying and tying up Moshi, Opal inevitably observed the unusual place in this friend again. Moshi Toyosui, a fatherless man, an amnesiac man, an ascetic man.

He wore gloves forever, and those hands were strangely shaped, excessively slender and slender.

He wears a hood forever because his ears do not grow on the top of his head, but branch out horizontally on either side of his head. Opal lifted his hood to blindfold him, and the soft, hairless ears, though vaguely seen before, still amazed him at the moment.

At times, Moshi barely looks like a snowwalker.

And those who see him often feel a sense of fear, a hidden, instinctive fear.

These anomalies may symbolize evil, or they may represent holiness. And Opal's opinion of this friend often swipes between the two.

But in any case, he thought with a tenderness, "I wish we were friends." ”

He turned his head to look at the "offering" he had placed on the side of the wall.

They all drank a considerable amount of potion and couldn't wake up for a while.

One of the two young men of the Blue House had mocked Kanin Madarao's insults, and the other had extorted money by threatening to accuse Kanin of Hakuin of Efaya for fun.

True, their sins were not so deep that they needed to be paid for with death.

However, opal had no choice. Now that the students of Hakunoin are being protected by the Inquisition and the soldiers sent by the King (the King had sent a palace guard two days earlier to show his concern for the Spinel Academy), and today, when they find out that another student is missing, they will inevitably be on guard, and the wise will surely quickly deduce that the body is in the tank.

He no longer had a chance to attack the students of the White Academy.

Even, perhaps someone has noticed his recent strangeness. When he left the room last night, he was accidentally seen by the servant of the student next door, and it was difficult to ensure that it aroused suspicion.

Now he has no choice but to speed up the plan and change the pre-selected "sacrifices".

He wants to solve it quickly and give himself an end.

He will cut off the head of one of them and pluck out the heart of another.

He then plunged the dagger into his chest and untied the rope that bound Moshi before he died. In this way, people will think that it was Mo Shi who saw his evil deeds and killed him.

In this way, his debt to Moshi will be alleviated.

Perhaps God could also give him some mercy and let him suffer less in hell.
