Chapter Seventy-Two: The Son of Doom
Shouldn't childhood memories bring a sweet taste?
Carefree running, crying when you want to buy something, anticipation of measuring your height against the wall.
If...... Childhood memories bring only horror, fear, sorrow and anger.
Then it may be an extremely lucky thing that it is left in a corner of the subconscious.
At this moment, Gu Jun looked at the mysterious scene of this illusion, and some scattered memory fragments poured out from the long-sealed corner, as if a long-lost nightmare had invaded the dream again, disturbing the dreamer's vain peace.
He saw that when he was very young, when he was still babbling and toddler.
At that time, he was already undergoing some weird and inexplicable training. Around him, there were other children, and he and everyone else were looking at pictures of all kinds of strange trees, dense vines, twisted branches, and overgrown dead leaves......
These pictures planted seeds in their young and blank minds, and they didn't know what kind of seed they didn't know.
The last seed grows...... Is it the fruit of darkness?
As they get older, they can walk, run, talk, think......
Gu Jun suddenly found that the surroundings had become nothing, and he was the only one standing there, among all kinds of strange trees. He had forgotten the faces of the other children, and he couldn't remember it, as if they had never seen each other again after the separation.
He's special.
Many people's eyes told him this, joy, anticipation, curiosity.
There was always a frenzy in his gaze, like looking at an amazing treasure, just like his mother's fanaticism.
Was that woman really his mother? It was the first time Gu Jun had such suspicions, but they were only suspicions. Because of the gentleness when the woman told him stories to put him to sleep, the smile when she fed him, and the horror when she saw him fall...... It's all real, that's a mother's feelings. He was sure.
But as a mother, how can you treat your children like this?
It was the same woman who asked him to scribble the names of those drawings on paper, and to write all those different texts.
It was also this woman who put on the crown of the banyan tree's twigs and leaves and fibrous roots, "Xiaojun, just sit there and don't move." She said, there was some tension and complexity in her voice, was she hesitating, or was she sad?
But it was clear that in the end it was the frenzy that prevailed, as if a great experiment was about to have great results......
She couldn't give up on this result.
The experiment began when the mother was pregnant, and Gu Jun felt that those hazy prenatal music and whispers also loomed in the depths of implicit memory.
He was an experiment in the afterlife, since before he came to earth.
But the question is, what kind of creature is he?
The picture of the illusion was shaking, like some vague cracks spreading, but Gu Jun could still see the scene.
The cold voice made the dark sky seem to collapse, and the men in black and red were still bowing down to the banyan tree, not daring to raise their heads even to look at the banyan tree hole in front of them. It seems that even a glance at it and something terrible happens.
Just as Orpheus rescued his beloved wife Eurydic from the arduous River Styx, Hades told them not to look back when they left, but before returning to the gate of the world, Orpheus couldn't help but glance back at his wife, but let her stay in hell forever.
And just as Abraham and his wife were fleeing from Sodom, which was destroyed by the gods, Abraham's wife looked back and instantly became a pillar of salt.
What God has not let you see, you must not.
No mortal man shall tempt God.
"Son of Doom, as you say." The man in red, who knelt at the front, said in a very humble voice, the stench of the muddy and rotten earth, but the ugly face seemed to be against the most fragrant heavenly land.
"We are a bunch of filthy, ignorant, lowly worms, abandoned believers of the so-called 'Goddess of Life'......"
Each of the kneeling personnel let out a sound of hatred from the gritting of their teeth, like the hoarse whimper of a beast of the end.
The goddess of life? Gu Jun had read it in the diary of Ribdi Peyani, which was a deity revered by that intercultural civilization.
Abandoned Believers...... Are these members of the Afterlife Association speaking as alien literati?
Do you feel that you are the afterlife of a foreign literati?
"The old world has been destroyed, and we were born into this world, but we have lost our power. Our strength is our words, but now we don't even recognize a word. The man in red whispered, his body trembling a little: "But we still remember the promise that God has given us......"
Gu Jun's heart jumped suddenly, the next life would really not know the existence of those foreign drawings, and his parents hid them.
No matter what it is, Mom and Dad have plans that will be different from the next life...... Maybe, maybe......
"Inferior life." The child in the banyan tree cave uttered an emotionless strange voice: "Inferior wishes. β
Receiving this contemptuous response, everyone trembled in confusion, and the voice of the man in red also sank: "Is this body not satisfying you?" So he can't accept the power that belongs to us? Isn't it needed...... Take him for a blood sacrifice? β
The child did not speak, but the failure to speak may be a response. The man in red muttered, "This child is a sacrifice, the beginning of bad luck......"
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice......" The other people in black and red muttered together.
At this moment, Gu Jun felt that he had a splitting headache, everything was in a distorted state, but he also felt that there was a fire burning in his heart......
All the complex emotions accumulate together and come out.
Suddenly, he shoutedβ
Is the past all real?
Why do quantum mechanics double-slit experiments show that the future can change the past?
With his shout, the dark sky finally collapsed, thunder roared, and torrential rain washed down the earth. The voices of the children in the banyan cave became more frantic and distorted, as if two voices were twisted together, maddening, and trembling.
"This kid is the chosen one." The child said in a deep voice, "I will not allow you to be a lowly beast to show him a bit." β
The men in black and red trembled slightly, still not daring to look up.
They didn't see that the child's eyes were bright, like a flame burning in the dark abyss.
"This child will grow up to be a real man. Do not disturb him, do not offend him, let him forget all this. But one day in the future, this child will stand in front of you again. β
The child in the banyan cave said, distorted and natural, this dialogue was, is, and will be, not too much, not too much.
"At that time, all debts will be liquidated. This is my oath to you. β
Gu Jun was also talking, word by word, and the last sentence was said in his heart: When the time comes, it will be the end of you.
The entire huge banyan tree swayed in the storm, making a hoarse rustling sound.
And the believers who knelt on the ground made an indescribable fanatical voice, fulfilling the oath given by the gods.
