Dongdong looked around blankly, and suddenly she saw a vague figure waving at her in the distance, the person was wearing red and white clothes, and it seemed to be ......

'Mom! Mommy is calling me! ’

Dongdong, who was overjoyed, hurriedly ran over there.

"Please help me!"

At this time, a dexterous and slender hand grabbed Dongdong's arm, and Dongdong had no choice but to stop.

"You...... Is it sick? ”

The little one turned back to the man and asked, but she saw no one, only a hand.

If you were an ordinary person, you'd be scared, right? However, because she didn't feel malice, although Dongdong was also a little scared, she was still able to communicate calmly with the strange existence that grabbed her arm, but her tone was a little impatient.

"O great light! I'm a thief and I've been having nightmares lately about getting caught and chopping off my hands! I felt like I was going to break down! ”

"But...... It's not right to steal. Why would you want to steal something? ”

Dongdong asked the voice suspiciously.

"I have no other means of making a living, if I don't steal I'll starve to death, I just want to live!"

The other party has a heartfelt voice.

"I've been having nightmares! I dreamed that I was caught by the guards, my hands were chopped off, I became a beggar on the street, and finally starved to death on the side of the road! ”

"But... It's really wrong to steal! Dongdong didn't know how to help this person, she said helplessly.

"O great light! Please save your believers! ”

Just as Dongdong was flustered, another hand reached out and grabbed her.

The hand was short and fat, but it was very well maintained from the complexion, and it had a sparkling ring on each finger.

"O great light! I'm a businessman, I've just raised the price of my goods, I'm going to be punished, save me! ”

"That...... How can I save you? ”

If the thief's plea for help made Dong Dong overwhelmed, then this merchant's call for help, Dong Dong simply didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, goods, merchants, raising prices or something, she didn't understand.

"It's easy! All it takes is the great light to declare that I am innocent! As long as you accept my confession, I will be saved! ”

The fat hand's tone was very urgent, as if punishment was imminent, and the nimble hand pleaded in the same tone at this time.

"Me too! Me too! With just one word of great light, I can be saved, I can be forgiven! Please help us! ”

'Why do I just need my word to you?' I can't do it! … I don't call it the great light, I call it Knock Knock! ’

Knock wanted to say this to the two people who were asking her for help - Knock didn't know how to save them, and even she thought that the thief had done something bad and should be put in a cage, but when the words came to her mouth, Knock Knock couldn't say anything when she suddenly remembered something.

The little one lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and smiled a little stiffly, but did not say a word.

Looks like the person who asked her for help had already appeared a few days ago, right?

I don't know how to answer their words, so I can only smile silently, right?

But...... Why do you feel tired of laughing?

I really don't want to laugh anymore!

As a result, the smile on Dongdong's face collapsed in an instant of faltering.

"Great light! Why don't you smile at us? Are you not going to give us forgiveness? ”

The thief questioned angrily.

"Great light! Can you cast out the darkness that covers the sky, and drive away pestilence and desolation, and yet refuse to give us salvation? Hypocrisy! ”

The merchant's questioning was harsher than the thief's, and he was in a trance back to the time when he was cursed by thousands of people.

Just as Dong Dong was about to say something, the situation suddenly changed, and the thief and the merchant stopped questioning and wailing at the same time.

"Help! Don't chop off my hands! Give me another chance! ”

"Help! I shouldn't have inflated the price of medicine during the plague! Don't hang me! I'll change it! Spare your life! ”

Soon, the questioning and wailing were gone, and the surroundings seemed to be silent, and Dong Dong looked up at the person waving in the distance, who was obviously standing there and not moving, but the little guy clearly felt that the other party was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Mom!"

Panicked, Dongdong hurriedly wanted to run over, she didn't want to be left like this, but she felt like someone was pulling her hair.

Dong Dong, who stopped again, covered her sore scalp that had been pulled, and when she turned around, she found that it was also a strange hand that was pulling her hair.

This hand was covered with blood, and Dong Dong could feel the cold and piercing malice from above, and then ...... The owner of this hand spoke.

"I am a murderer, and in order to survive in the quarantine area, I stoned to death a child who was responsible for receiving supplies from outside, and I monopolized all the supplies he received...... I survived, but I always felt guilty inside, no matter what I ate, it felt like I was eating raw meat, no matter what I drank, it felt like I was drinking blood, you are the great light, right? Redeem me! ”

"I can't do it! Don't grab my hair...... Mom! ”

Watching the man get farther and farther away, tears rolled in his eyes.

"You can save even filthy undead monsters, even fallen souls can transcend, why can't you save the living? You are the Divine Light, and as long as you open your mouth, no matter what kind of sins can be forgiven, it is just a matter of words! Say! Say! ”

"Let go of me! I don't have that ability! I'm Knock Knock! It's Mao Yu! It has nothing to do with that light! ”

Dong Dong struggled to break free from the other party's grasp.

"I can't really help you, that kind of thing...... How can it be forgiven! I ......"

Knock stopped suddenly, for she suddenly saw that all kinds of hands were densely packed around her.

Men's, women's, old, child's, rough, fair-skinned...... They gather around Knock Knock like wolves foraging for food in the snow.

"Say! Say! Say! Say! Say! ”

They kept repeating the two words in a neat voice, which made Dong Dong's hair stand on end.

Instinctively, Dongdong, who wanted to find someone to rely on, looked in his mother's direction again, but saw nothing.

Mom isn't here anymore.

In the darkness, Dongdong suddenly opened her eyes, she stared blankly at the beam for a long time, and her head finally cleared up a little.

"Is it a dream?"

The little one got up from the bed, and she felt sticky all over her body, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"I want to go home...... I don't want to ...... in this place."

Dong Dong wrapped himself in a ball with the quilt and muttered to himself.

Twenty days ago, a man had come to her to pray for him, but he was praying for something that Dong Dong couldn't solve, because this man was a suicide murderer who was about to be tormented by guilt, and he wanted salvation from the Light.

At that time, Dong Dong directly expressed her attitude to this person, and she said that if she made a mistake, she should be punished.

"You can save even filthy undead monsters, and even fallen souls can transcend, why can't you save the living?"

The murderer asked in despair, but Knock was speechless.

"Is my sin so great that even the Holy Light cannot save me?"

Knock still doesn't know what to say.

Then the desperate man left the house.

The next day, the man's body was found not far away, the guy had gouged his chest with a sharp knife, and the body remained in a kneeling position, with a pleading expression on his stiff face.

People just took it as an accident, but since that day, Dongdong has never dared to say no to these prayers easily.

I didn't dare to say no, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only keep smiling......

"What? Having a nightmare? ”

In the darkness, someone suddenly asked.
