39 Let's play a game
The Seven Deadly Sins are the seven sins in Catholic doctrine, and Catholicism is one of the three major denominations of Christianity, so "The Lord is My Strength" is also a Catholic song.
If you associate Catholicism, the seven deadly sins, and the three of rebirth, I think the person behind it is likely to be a Catholic believer, but he himself committed the seven deadly sins, and he felt that he had disobeyed the Lord in his heart, so he decided to let seven people complete the seven deadly sins, and then kill these seven people, just like killing his own sins, and after killing these people, he completed his own rebirth.
It sounds like an extremely crazy thing, but my father who made us, and my clone brothers, are even crazier than that, so it seems to me that this guess is most likely correct.
And if I'm not mistaken, my brothers and I are the ones that the other uses to atone for our sins, but why are there eight of us, not seven, and one of them is used to be born again? No, out of eight people, only seven of them should be clones, and the other one is a normal person, a cloned object.
If this is the case, then the one who can survive is likely to be the real person. Could that person be me?
While thinking about it, Hachi and I walked quickly to the lighted hut, and there was a small window in the hut, through which I saw a man in a black robe, chanting the song "The Lord is My Strength", and on the wall opposite him hung a picture of Jesus crucified.
He seemed so religious, and at the end of the song, he couldn't help but kneel down and shout: "Lord, you are my strength, sustaining me until now, and soon, I will wash away my sins, complete my redemption, and once again be qualified to believe in you in the right and bright, without leaving any stain on your body." ”
I guessed right! Cleansing away sin and completing redemption is the so-called rebirth, and I think he is the one who created the seven deadly sins, that is...... My father!
As soon as this thought was finished, the man slowly turned around, raised his eyes to look at the window, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, what are you doing hiding outside?" ”
At this moment, I looked at his face, as if I saw myself in his old age, and similarly, Hachi's face also showed a little consternation, it seemed that although he knew what kind of game they were playing, he didn't know what the purpose of the game was.
Hachi and I looked at each other, and there was a sense of pity for each other at the moment, and then we walked into the room together.
It was a very ordinary room, but when I entered, I felt like I was being stared at by a lot of eyes.
My father was sitting at a table not far away, with a mess behind him, I don't know what it was, but my gut told me it was certainly not simple.
"For more than 20 years, heh, the few people I have carefully cultivated, each of them are so good, it's really gratifying." My father said with a smile.
I said in a deep voice, "Why are you doing this? Having your sons die one by one is worse than the seven deadly sins, aren't you afraid that Jesus won't accept you or be ashamed of you? ”
I don't have faith, but I know that people who have faith, some are very normal, and some are paranoid and terrible, and my father belongs to that kind of paranoid and terrible person, and he is not qualified to be called a "believer" at all, because he will demonize a normal belief.
So, I was sure to provoke him when I said that, because that's what he was most afraid of hearing, and once he did, I think he would be able to say a lot of what I needed.
Sure enough, after I said this, my father was almost furious, he looked at me and yelled, "Damn stinky boy! How dare you slander me so much before my lord, I want to cut you with a thousand cuts! ”
I said coldly, "I'm just telling the truth. ”
For more than 20 years, father and son have met, and there is no father-son affection between me and him, only the tension between the tip of the needle and Mai Mang.
My father laughed suddenly, and he laughed so strangely that he said, "But I didn't do that at all, I didn't let my son die." ”
I was a little annoyed and said, "You didn't just let us die, but the game you made is tantamount to a death game, what's the difference between this and letting us die?" ”
Who knows, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant, I didn't try to kill my son, I just tried to kill myself." Hehe......" he raised his hand and pointed at me, saying, "You ......"
After a pause, he smiled obscenely, pointed at Xiaoba again, and said, "And you, you are all me, hehe, it is my perfect stand-in." ”
I was shocked and looked at my father with a frown, all in my mind of what he had just said. He said that we are all Him, what does that mean, does he say......
An astonishing thought came to my mind, and I couldn't help but tremble, but he just looked at me, showed a treacherous smile, and said, "Chen Mu, did you guess it? Hehe, you're so smart, you must have guessed it. ”
I said with difficulty: "None of the eight of us are normal people, we are all clones, cloned by you, so our death means your death, it means that you are atoning for your sins with death, right?" ”
Xiaoba frowned and said in a deep voice: "So that's the case? ”
My father, oh no, I should call him Chen Lin now. Chen Lin looked at us proudly and laughed, "Am I very powerful?" Haha, who would have thought that the ultimate goal of the experiment I was doing would be this? My Lord must have thought I was brilliant too, haha. ”
I asked in a cold voice, "Then why eight people?" ”
Chen Lin looked at me and didn't answer me directly, but suddenly looked at Xiaoba and said, "You want to know the answer?" Well, you two come and play a game, the winner will be the winner, the loser will be killed by me, and the one who wins will know the final secret. ”
I think that's why Chen Lin asked us to come over, and it's really perverted enough.
Hachi was different from me, and he asked with some interest, "Oh? What game? ”
Chen Lin said lightly: "It's very simple, I will give you a list, you go and kill the people on the list for me, whoever kills more will be the winner of the game." ”
This madman! I said, "Are you really a Catholic?" ”
He smiled and nodded, "Of course." ”
"And you're still always killing?" Seeing that he still looked indifferent, I yelled a little angrily.
Chen Lin just smiled obscenely, then took out two cards from his pocket, he flew the cards to me and Xiaoba, half-squinted his eyes and said, "The above is the death list, I am here waiting for your good news." ”
After speaking, he looked at me deliberately, "hehe" and smiled: "Don't contact others for help, if I find out, there will be cruel punishment, you, or your partner will be like that dummy." He pointed behind us, and I turned around to see a dummy standing behind us, which had been empty, more realistic than a real person.
What shocked me even more was that the dummy suddenly "creaked" as if the bones had been broken one by one, and then his head suddenly exploded into powder with a "bang", and his body was instantly on fire.
The shock in my heart to see this dummy blown up, caught fire, and burned to ashes without warning is beyond words. No matter what means Chen Lin used, at least, under my nose, he completed this series of things, which was too terrifying.
Chen Lin seemed to be very satisfied with my reaction, and he smiled and said, "That's it, I'll wait for your news, don't go more than eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Hachi looked at the list, and then looked at me and said, "I kill from the front to the back, you kill from the back to the front, when we meet, it's a gameover." ”
With that, he left.
I took the list, looked at Chen Lin, and said, "What will happen if I abstain?" ”
Chen Lin looked at me with a smile, and said lightly: "A consequence that you will regret for the rest of your life." After a pause, he said, "I said I wanted you to win the final game, so I'll be merciful enough to tell you a secret." There are also two people whose names are not written in this death list. ”
I was stunned, looked at him suspiciously, he smiled lowly, and said: "That's Xiaoba and you, when all the people on the list are dead, you kill him, you win, he kills you, he wins." ”
I was shocked, and left silently with the list.
