If so, he would have suffered many times since the foundation of the world. But now in these last days he has appeared, and he has sacrificed himself to take away sin.

—Hebrews (1st Book of the New Testament) 9:26

I saw this line on the door of the secret room, and who was it?

But that's the little things.

Pushing open the door, the room was completely dark, and I stepped into the darkness, feeling the temperature plummet, and the unnatural cold invaded my skin, gradually freezing the blood.

I couldn't take a step forward, I couldn't get out, I couldn't move.

He said, "Get out of here!" It's a brain wave shock, and that's all hallucinations. ”

But it was too late, and I saw the faces of many children in the room, stickers on the dark walls, with hollow eyes, numb eyes.

They said in unison, "Help us, sir." ”

The dense face surrounded me, and I rolled my eyes from side to side, all faces. It was as if their bodies had melted, and only their faces remained, fused into one by the darkness.

Merge into one.

I said, "Child... Child? The children? Let go of me, I have no ill will. ”

A sight flashed before my eyes, countless blood-red hands. But in an instant, the red hand was gone, and it was still a myriad, pale little face.

I pushed myself, using all my strength, but I couldn't move a finger. I felt a cold little hand touch my palm, clenching it.

I said, "Don't come here!" Don't come near me! "I was in terrible pain, like lava had been injected into my veins, my most sensitive nerves were being tortured in the most brutal way, and I listened to my own screams, and I couldn't breathe halfway through the screams.

They said, "That's what they did to us, sir." ”

I said, "That's what Ulysses and Longinus did, and I'm here to save your people." ”

They said, "Those who came a long time ago, they say the same." Where are our sisters? ”

I said, "She.... She.... I don't know, I was just sent to pick up something important..."

My other hand was also caught, and my brain felt like a needle had been inserted, and something was pulling liquid out of it and injecting it. This strange operation frightened me.

They said, "What did we do wrong?" Mr? Why are we being treated this way? ”

I said, "She's been treated like that." ”

They said, "But Lacas lived, and we died." ”

I asked, "You are dead, so what is it now?" ”

They said, "We are just us, we don't exist, but we are still here." ”

I said, "You're just... Undissipated brain waves. ”

They said, "We are the evidence of human sin." ”

My stiff knees bent suddenly, they made me move, and the cries of fatigue rang in my ears again. She said, "Mr. Fishbone, don't move!" This is the trap. Don't force yourself to exercise, or you'll suffocate to death, just like the people at Charon! The nerves in your brain are out of order. ”

I thought, "Evidence of human sin?" I do not know you, and those who have sinned against you are long dead. ”

Laca is alive, Laca is the only survivor of this evil hell, if there is still heavenly reason in the world, and there is good retribution, it should be fulfilled in her.

The sin has been removed, and I am the knight who has come to save people.

You are nothing but a bunch of jealous undead.

The inscription on the doorway inexplicably appeared in my mind.

I meditated, "If this were the case, he would have suffered many times since the foundation of the world." But now in these last days he has appeared, and he has sacrificed himself to take away sin. ”

I recalled the last moments of the village, the dark rooms, the sweet songs, the immortal life, all the familiar faces that became monsters, but claimed to be the angels who saved me.

It was the first time in my life that I prayed to the fish, to the darkness.

This is the second time.

He said, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

I knew my fingers were melting, dissolving into black oil, but I couldn't see, my eyes were melting, only darkness, darkness forever.

To fight against the light, so there will be darkness.

In order to terminate life, there will be death.

They said, "What are you?" ”

I said, "I am a fish bone, the remains of a fish." ”

I drank the black oil, the pain dispelled the pain, I could see the darkness, the faces were not faces, but changing fluctuations.

Their means failed.

In the center of the chamber was a dead boy, with his eyes open, his head shaved, and a cross scar on the celestial lid, from which the thoughts came from.

He said, "I can destroy an entire army, but I can't destroy you." ”

I said, "Why do you destroy me?" ”

I smashed his skull, and all illusions vanished. I found what he was looking for from him.

"Mr. Fishbone, are you alright?" Your EEG is messed up. ”

The fish are coming.

I held up my mutilated palm and picked up the little element, and I said, "Do you have a way to read it remotely?" ”

"I can try," said Laca. ”

She instructed me how to do it, and I took out the headphones, and there was an interface on the small component, and the two fit perfectly. I asked, "What's in the component?" ”

"It's me, before I became Laca headphones." ”

I said, "Your parents? ”

There was a "hmm" sound.

I said, "Your friends, your childhood, your home, your pets, your garden, your sunshine, your world." ”

Laca let out another "um" and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fishbone." Come back, I want to see you, and I will fulfill my promise. ”

What a wonderful thank you, it's enough.

I said, "I can't, the fish has found me, I have to go far away." ”

He asked, "Are you going to give up your reward?" ”

I said, "My reward?" I've got it, little princess. "I wanted to laugh, but my throat was dry. I walked over to a wall, and a black hole had dissolved in the wall, and I walked through it.

I can't explain what happened, maybe I can't tell the difference between fact and illusion, maybe I opened a door and thought I was through the wall. After all, I'm almost blind.

I went outside, smelled the smell of the wilderness, and as I walked, my eyes and severed palms were bleeding, but it wasn't like blood, but black juice. I instinctively go in one direction, wherever I go, as far away as possible.

Far away from Lamia, away from Lamia.... Who else is coming?

Suddenly, a sharp blade pierced my leg, and the shackles locked my hand, causing me to fall.

A lot of people were shouting, and I could hear them shouting, "Target found!" Catch him! ”

I saw vague figures, all dressed in black armor, with a second layer of bones outside their bodies, like indifferent machines.

It's a member of the Sword and Shield Society.

Someone asked, "Who is he?" ”

The other said, "Wait, I know him, you are an apprentice of Ochid?" Misser's friend? ”

One person close to me asked, "Is he from a waterless village?" ”

The old acquaintance said, "Yes, sir, his name is Longinus." The last time I passed through the waterless village, I saw them. ”

Wrong, wrong, I don't have this name, my name is fishbone, I'm leftovers.

The officer asked, "Longinus, what are you doing here?" What happened to Waterless Village? Why are all people dead? ”

I asked, "Is Missey okay?" ”

The old acquaintance said: "Answer the chief's question!" ”

I asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I got a punch in the jaw, and if it hadn't been for someone holding me back, I would have rolled several times.

"Listen, Longinus," said the chief, "you traitor and slippery head. I don't have time to go around in circles with you right now. I have important tasks to do. You seem to have come out of the garage, we have surrounded the garage, and if you have a comrade in the garage, you will not be able to escape our net. If you don't want them to die, you'd better answer me obediently. ”

I said, "Misser is not among you?" ”

A few years ago, the Sword and Shield Society took Misser away because of his excellent martial arts. He's always been remarkable, and because of his excellence, he escaped that catastrophe.

But if Milser was still around, maybe nothing would have happened.

He was lucky enough to escape hell and ascend to heaven.

Daria, Daria, I almost forgot about you, where are you now? You must be alive and well, right? Could you have already met Missey?

The chief's sharp knife was aimed at my throat, and he said, "I ask one last time, what happened?" ”

I said, "Ochid he.... Discover the secrets of the depths of the village. ”

The chief said, "What secret?" ”

I said, "The secret of life, the secret of eternal life." He was driven crazy by the secret. ”

The chief said, "What did he do?" ”

I said, "He released the secret, he changed, he seemed normal, but he was no longer human." The people of the village kept dying, first Mr. Broken Mouth, then the garbage master, then Aunt Ole..... We sensed that something was wrong, because there were always people absent from the village meal. ”

The members of the Sword and Shield Society looked at each other, and the chief said, "Tell me, what is the phenomenon of the secret of life?" Be descriptive. ”

I said, "Sir Ochid, he can melt into a pool of active flesh and reorganize into a normal man. The flesh that touches someone's skin, even if it's the size of a fingernail, can dissolve and devour that person unless the flesh-stained part is cut off immediately. ”

The chief said, "And then?" ”

I said, "He sneaked up a lot of people, turned into their likeness, and secretly carried out more murders." But those people .... They did not die, they did not die, they all lived, they all received eternal life. They live forever in Mr. Ochid's body, no, it's not exact. ”

The chief said eagerly, "Then give me the exact word." ”

I said, "They are symbiotic, and they tell me that it is a state of life fusion, the most perfect state. One for all, all for one, all disputes and disagreements are eliminated, living in harmony, beyond relatives, all are .... It's all about yourself. Sometimes, they can split up and become individuals again, but those individuals will do their best to reach out to others, to merge with them, even if they are deceived by sweet words and disguises, to get close to those who are normal. ”

The old acquaintance said, "This information is very valuable, sir. This is first-hand eyewitness evidence. ”

The chief nodded and asked, "How did you survive?" ”

I said, "Fish tank, I pray to the fish tank." I cut off the flesh-stained fingers and put them in the fish tank for the fish to eat them. ”

Sir: "Fish tank? Is that old fish tank? ”

I said, "Yes, sir, and then the fish came, as it is now." ”

I looked up, and the fish appeared before me, as vast as heaven and earth, and took the dark shadow as its ocean. It stares at us with numb, emotionless fisheyes.

The knights of the Sword and Shield Society turned their heads and opened their eyes wide, looking at the purple-black sky, at the incomparably huge fish, they were more surprised and frightened than I was.

To fight against the light, so there will be darkness.

In order to terminate life, there will be death.
