Chapter 21 They live, but they suffer

"If there's nothing to fear, then why can't you sleep?"

“……”

"I've inquired before I came here, and you haven't really slept in days. If you wake up as soon as you fall asleep, and then you fall into a coma as soon as you wake up, then you look at the way you look now, typical of mental fatigue caused by lack of sleep, and if you continue like this, before the day of execution, you will torture yourself to death. ”

“……”

"You just said to me, let me give you a glass of water and put some sleeping pills in the water. It looks like you want me to enter your dreams, but I can guarantee that if you do sleep, you will never have a dream, and you will sleep like you are dead. ”

“……”

"You are dead in your sleep, you don't even have a dream, how can I enter your dream? That's one reason I don't want to for a while. ”

"What else is the reason?"

"I'll give you a good night's sleep and give you a glass of water with some sleeping pills in it. When you've slept enough, I'll let you sleep again......"

……

……

After knowing that Ah Ming had betrayed him, Hong Ye, who was disgusted, wanted to choose to flee.

Far away from the absurd years of my own time, away from that familiar place.

And he did.

One night, he took nothing with him and began to run in one direction.

He didn't stop until he was exhausted.

Where he stopped, there happened to be a church.

- the same church that later appeared in his dreams and was seen by Melinda and Sucher.

He walked in.

The church has been abandoned.

But in the center of the church, the crucifix is conspicuous, although it is covered with dust.

He fell to his knees and faced it, praying that Jesus would save him.

At that time, he believed that there was God, that there was heaven, and that through the road of salvation, he could lead to a better life.

But where is the road to salvation?

Where is heaven? Where is God?

There was only a crucifix in front of him.

The whole church was deserted and lifeless.

If God exists, will He allow such a deserted church in this world?

If Heaven exists, what should it look like? Is it the same as the church he is in?

He began to doubt.

Doubt heaven, doubt God, doubt the way to salvation,...... Doubt they exist.

He didn't kneel down again.

He sat cross-legged, staring at the crucifix, meditating.

Eventually, he suddenly became enlightened.

- Nothing exists, including himself.

- To live is to suffer, and no one is exempt from it.

- Why be born to suffer, why be human?

……

……

He changed his name to Hongye.

He left his previous life behind and lived anew.

With a very human mind and endurance, he quickly became rich through his unremitting struggle.

He is on the road to riches, running wildly.

Overcoming obstacles and being invincible.

It didn't take long for him to have his own company with billions in assets.

Become one of the richest people in the city.

He lived a life that he couldn't have imagined before.

Money and beauty, bright lights, luxury cars and villas, reputation and status, everything.

He gave a lot.

He gets more.

Suddenly, one day, he discovered that in fact, life does not need to work hard at all, and he can realize many of his wishes.

People in the world are lazy, as long as they are a little more diligent, they can achieve their wishes.

It didn't take much hard for him to have everything.

Such an idea almost ruined him.

Because after having such thoughts, he suddenly felt that there was no point in living.

Everything that should be obtained has been obtained, and desires have been greatly satisfied, what else in this world needs to be conquered by itself?

What is the point of living without the passion of impact?

Originally, after having money, he privately saw a psychiatrist and a physiologist to take a good look at his hidden disease.

But when his thoughts were on the verge of danger, he suddenly became "no" again.

No matter how beautiful and seductive a woman is, she can't make him interested.

He also has little interest in men.

The body is in need, but it doesn't know how to vent, or in other words, it doesn't know how to fill its empty soul.

He suddenly became slumped.

The company was handed over to someone else to take care of, and he hid in a small dark room, where he didn't see anyone and didn't think about anything.

This is an ostrich self-avoidance like self-help.

He could have escaped in other ways, but this was the one he had chosen.

It was because he chose this one at the time, so this process of self-closure made him suddenly have a perverted idea one day-

What would it be like to lock people up in a small dark room and raise them to be thoughtless slaves?

No one wants to be imprisoned in a small dark room, and no one wants to be a slave.

No one wants to live without people's minds, the walking dead.

Therefore, no matter how much money he spends, he can't let his idea have an answer that can satisfy him.

So, later, he had a bad idea......

Of course, the cause of this crooked idea was also guided by another experience of his.

At first, he resented his wife's debauchery and imprisoned her.

The imprisoned wife, under her own "training", became another person.

……

……

Since the Kingdom of Heaven movement initiated by Jesus won the support of the Jews, a new sect of Judaism was formed.

Because Jesus was a native of Nazareth, people called this small and emerging sect "Nazarenes."

This small and emerging sect is not too numerous, but it is full of vitality, giving the ancient Judaism a new look.

Jesus knew that in order for the Nazarenes to develop into the mainstream of the Jewish sect and to revitalize the Jewish nation through the Kingdom of Heaven, a strong leadership group was necessary to help him mobilize, organize, educate, and lead the masses.

So, he began to look for talent among his many followers.

After careful observation and careful consideration, Jesus selected twelve disciples to represent the entire Jewish nation as a symbol of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel.

Why did Jesus choose twelve instead of ten?

Because the number "twelve" has a series of meanings.

The Old Testament had twelve tribes of Israel.

There are twelve gates of the New Jerusalem to come, and there are twelve angels on the doors, and the names of the twelve tribes of Israel are written on the doors.

The walls had twelve foundations, and on the foundations were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Suffice it to say that the Lord Jesus' call for twelve disciples was not an accidental number.

This is also the origin of why I built twelve dark chambers instead of other numbers.

At first, what he wanted to cultivate was his own "Twelve Disciples".

But it didn't work out, and he failed to turn the twelve women he imprisoned into the "believers" he wanted.

So, he turned them into slaves.

Twelve slaves.

The rest was the first time Melinda and Sucher had entered his dream.

The dark psychology "shaped" him as a shady person.

It's sensible, it's smart, but it's perverted and scary.

Although Hong Ye has been arrested, although the twelve women who were also imprisoned have been rescued, they ......

Surprisingly, twelve women are filled with fear of living freely.

They didn't dare to stand in the sun.

Don't dare to speak out loud.

I don't dare to have my own thoughts, let alone my own opinions.

Don't dare to raise your head to look at people.

Don't dare to disobey all the arrangements given to her by others.

Even if it is a dog, there are times when it is disobedient and barks wildly.

They have become inferior to dogs.

Although the police have assigned them psychiatrists and provided psychological counseling, after such a long time, there has been no improvement at all.

Maybe one day they will change.

But that was a long time later.

Even if it changes, the life in the dark room is still the shadow of life that they will never forget for the rest of their lives.

It is a lifelong trauma for them.

This is their sad and pitiful fate, which was tampered with by Hong Ye privately.

- They live, even if they suffer.
