Chapter 43: Life and Trials
Shots rang out, and Fumito Naoi fell, knocked down by his own bullets. The bullet that bombarded Zheng Shuanglong's body bounced back and opened a hole in Naoi's chest. Blood stained the clothes of the Naoi literati red.
Holding Lihua and coming to the front of the Naoi literati, looking at the Naoi literati who fell under his bullet, Zheng Shuanglong said calmly: "I can't see the situation clearly, I can't tell the difference between strength and weakness, I am proud and inferior, I originally saw that the world front will be completely wiped out after your death, I heard your declaration of God, and I still have certain expectations for you, but now it seems that you are just like that." It's a shame to have just looked down on you. ”
Agreed. Did I let the others down. Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's words, Naoi Literati, who was knocked down by his own bullets, thought of it in a daze.
Looking at the Naoi literati who were looking at him blankly, looking at the Naoi literati who looked at him with longing eyes, Zheng Shuanglong was a little curious, maybe because he was about to become a true god, maybe because Lihua Song promised that he would be with him forever, maybe because he was in a happy mood, Zheng Shuanglong smiled and said to the fallen Naoi literati: "Hey, who is that." ”
"Literati Naoi." Lihua, who was in Zheng Shuanglong's arms, said softly.
Touching Lihua's head, Zheng Shuanglong continued with a smile: "Oh, Naoi literati, what is your life like, you have developed such a character, I am really a little curious, can you tell me, during the time when Yuri Nakamura passed the trial, listening to a person's life is also a good pastime." ”
"Life, my own false life." Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's words, Naoi Literati, who was lying in a pool of blood, muttered.
As Naoi Literati spoke, Lihua pulled the corners of Zheng Shuanglong's clothes and pointed to the members of the posthumous world front who were lying in a pool of blood.
Although Lihua is very pure, it is also very intelligent. Since the satisfied self will not disappear, will it still be resurrected if it is injured or dead, Lihua is a little worried.
Gently shook his head at Lihua Song, saying that it was not the time, now was not the time to resurrect these fighting members of the world front after death.
Zheng Shuanglong wants to build a kingdom of God here, and he wants to transform this afterlife into his own kingdom of God. The members of the World Front after death, or rather, all the souls who have come to this world, should be banished, if they are more ruthless. All souls that have come to the kingdom of God should be destroyed. How can these individuals be allowed to play at will, what do they think of the gods, the majesty of God, which cannot be blasphemed, and the kingdom of God cannot be polluted. Those who do not believe in God are a pollutant to the kingdom of God.
But. Because of the existence of Lihua Song, because of Lihua Song's intentions, because of Lihua Song's kindness, because of Zheng Shuanglong's feelings for Lihua Song. Therefore, Zheng Shuanglong gave these souls a choice, a choice to let go of everything and start a new life. This is God's mercy.
Only by request. Feelings without reciprocation are not long-lasting, and people who only take without knowing what to reciprocate are completely impossible to survive in society. Equivalent exchange is the truth of the world.
Although love is completely unreasonable. Although love completely subverts the law of equivalent exchange, for the sake of Lihua Song, in order to take care of Lihua Song's feelings, and for Lihua Song's innocence, Zheng Shuanglong can give up cleaning these souls and let them choose, choose to stay or leave. Zheng Shuanglong didn't want Lihua to be sad. Zheng Shuanglong can also pay for Lihua.
Listening to the words of the Naoi literati, Zheng Shuanglong was a little curious, the false life is a little similar to himself, so Zheng Shuanglong smiled at the Naoi literati and said: "False life, I'm more in the mood, let's talk about it, anyway, it's still early, that Nakamura Yuri came out of the trial, at least fifteen minutes, this time, is definitely enough for you to say, okay, let's appreciate your so-called false life." ”
Looking at the blue sky, looking at the beautiful sky, Naoi Fumito said softly with a dull gaze, "My brother is dead." ”
"We were born into a family of master ceramics. Me and my twin brothers. The elder brother rose to prominence at a very young age and was known to everyone as the heir to the family business. And I, on the other hand, just stayed at home every day and played. There is no expectation from parents and others. Living a meaningless life. ”
"There was an accident, my brother died, 'The one who died, it was you.'" That's what the people around me said. ”
"That's right, I'm my brother who is alive. My brother and I replaced. The one who died became me. Then a meaningful life begins. ”
"In the name of healing, he left the world, began a harsh practice called rehabilitation, and was reprimanded by his father every day."
"Spiritual practice is very cruel. My brother is too far away from me. But I've been challenging to make my life meaningful. Never go back to the days of playing alone. ”
"The hard work has paid off, and I finally won the prize at the exhibition, which is a completely unsatisfactory result for my brother. But for me, it's the best I can get right now. ”
"In the exhibition hall, I couldn't help crying, I cried with relief. My life has meaning. ”
"At that time, I looked at my father and thought happily: Great. In this way, he continued to practice with his strict father, and then became the number one ceramicist in Japan. ”
"But a cruel life, an abominable fate,...... The father was bedridden, and there seemed to be no possibility of recovery. It is no longer possible to turn the turntable. Don't talk about teaching me to make ceramics, I can't even reprimand me. He will smile gently when he is fed. ”
“… The meaning of my life... These hands can't inherit the workshop... Nor can they stand on their own feet. Is my life to take care of him for the rest of my life!! ”
"God!!"
"'You are the one who died.'" It was indeed me who died then. Since then, it's always been my brother who has been working hard, and it's my brother here. Only my father and my brother...... My life is false. I don't exist anywhere. ”
"Smack!" Zheng Shuanglong, who put down Lihua's performance, couldn't help but applaud, and said with a smile: "It's really a good life." ”
"Zheng, that's not good." Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, Lihua said softly.
[The performance is still too kind, but it's really like this, that's why it's so dazzling and so attractive to me. Isn't it. 】
Gently touching Lihua's head, Zheng Shuanglong said softly: "Performance, I didn't tell a lie, I didn't say anything back, not ridicule or ridicule, but the life of this Naoi literati is really a good life, I have worked hard, struggled, and hoped." I have despaired, struggled, entangled, happy, sad, obviously such a fulfilling life, such a meaningful life, and such a real life, but it is a false life. If such a life is a false life, my life, the stolen body, the borrowed name. The deceived family affection, all the illusory life, what kind of life is it? If his life is all a false life, then. What kind of life is my life, a life that doesn't exist at all, a little lost. ”
Heard Zheng Shuanglong's words. Lihua stood on tiptoe, reached out and touched Zheng Shuanglong's head, and comforted Zheng Shuanglong wordlessly.
"Is it a real life, then will you recognize it, such a me." Looking at the sky, Fumito Naoi asked in an ethereal voice. Fumito Naoi is already confused.
My own life is really a real life.
[Because of such a life, there is a lack of faith, a lack of belief in oneself, so there is such a proud and inferior character, what about a greedy person, but, this is a human being, isn't it, a human being who needs others. Looking at the confused Naoi literati, Zheng Shuanglong understood a little.
[Didn't I also be confused for a while because of the illusion of life, and didn't I grieve for that false life for a while, so I should give the same confused people salvation, although, just a matter of words, but, this may be able to change a person's life. In that case, why should I be harsh on this sentence? I hope that when I am also confused, someone will say something to me, a word that can save me. 】
Looking at the stunned Naoi literati, Zheng Shuanglong said seriously: "The only person standing in front of me is you, what can I do besides agreeing with you." Your life is not a false life, it is a real life. ”
Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's agreement, Naoi literati couldn't help but recall what happened when he was a child.
"Great, win brother."
"It's just an astringent persimmon, why are you happy to be like that, but the literati really have a hand."
The words I want to hear the most are those who approve of my words.
Looking at the sky blankly, Naoi Fumito left tears, tears of happiness, tears of recognition. In the end, I closed my eyes and died contented.
Normal college life, happy college life, happy college life, carefree college life, college life with a little adolescent troubles, college life with laughter every day, such a happy college life, so that Nakamura Yuri is confused, confused, such a satisfying college life, almost made Nakamura Yuri forget about the world front after his death, forget his unfortunate life. I almost lived a good life in this world of trials, made friends, fell in love, got married, started a family in this world of trials, and then ended my life happily, a life with no regrets.
But, how to say it, is it worthy of having a big obsession in the heart, this happy, happy, intoxicating life with absolutely no flaws still does not leave Nakamura Yuri's heart. The resentment against God, the hatred for the unreasonable life that took away his younger brothers and sisters, and finally, the desire to protect his companions on the world front after death, made Nakamura Yuri, come back to his senses, understand, understand what kind of place this is.
Looking at this only happy life, looking at the kind and gentle classmates, looking at this wonderful class, looking at the good teachers who care about their classmates dutifully, looking at this fairytale-like place, Nakamura Yuri stood up, laughed, cried, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Very happy, such a happy scenery." ”
The classmates in the class were a little overwhelmed to look at Yuri Nakamura, who stood up and spoke loudly and seriously.
"It's too dazzling for me, everybody is living in a time like this. It's so good, it's so enviable. ”
The world began to crumble, cities disappeared, streets disappeared. The people who walked the streets with happy smiles also disappeared.
"If you disappear from here, will you be able to start over?"
The classmates are gone, the teachers are gone, and there is no longer a single person in sight in the entire academy.
"Is this kind of happiness acceptable to me?"
The academy is gone, the class is gone. Yuri Nakamura stands in the middle of a wilderness where there is no one.
"If you lose this memory, your personality will change with it, so you can accept it!"
The sky darkened, and it was noon, but there was a blood-colored dusk, the dim dusk, the nothingness that intoxicated you, the darkness, the ominous dark red, which stained the whole world.
But what is this so-called reincarnation? That's not my life anymore! It's someone else's life. ”
The heavens and the earth began to shake. It was as if it had been bombarded with an invisible sledgehammer.
"Life is only once in life for me. It's here, in my heart...... Only once. ”
One time. The world shook.
"This is my life, a life that cannot be entrusted to others, nor can it be taken away by others."
Two clicks. A crack appeared in the sky.
"You can't shirk, you can't forget, you can't eliminate, you can't ravage, you can't laugh it off, you can't be beautified. Nothing! can only face such a real and cruel life, inactive but only once. ”
Three times. The rift had become very large.
"Teacher, do you understand?"
The world is cracking. Rifts spread all over the world.
"So I'm going to fight, keep fighting. Because that kind of life is unacceptable for a lifetime! ”
The whole world shattered. Shattered like glass. The trial was accepted, and Yuri Nakamura successfully survived the trial.
Lie in a pool of blood and look at the beautiful sky. Yuri Nakamura said softly with a little emotion, "I'm back." ”
"Welcome back, Yuri Nakamura." Looking at Yuri Nakamura, who had returned from the dreamlike world, Zheng Shuanglong said with a gentle smile.
[It's really not easy. Such a trial, such a happy world, I don't know if I can wake up, I didn't expect that this laughing girl has such a firm belief, such a strong heart, it is really very powerful. Looking at Yuri Nakamura, who had a firm presence in his eyes, Zheng Shuanglong thought with a little admiration.
Yuri Nakamura, who came back from his confusion, looked at Zheng Shuanglong resolutely, and said loudly: "Yes, I'm back, I'm finally back from that world, it's really not easy, but I'm back, so, according to the agreement, Zheng, should you say something." For example, things like gods have something to say about what you just said. ”
Looking at Yuri Nakamura, Zheng Shuanglong said with a smile: "Of course, a promise is a promise, since you have successfully passed the trial, then, I will answer your doubts well." ”
Yuri Nakamura covered his wound and said loudly, "That's the best." So ......"
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Yuri Nakamura seemed to be about to ask a question, Zheng Shuanglong waved his hand and said.
"What's the point, it's not ......," Yuri Nakamura said dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, but I have no interest in saying such things several times." Zheng Shuanglong, who felt Yuri Nakamura's dissatisfaction, said with a smile.
Looking at the blood-stained playground, Zheng Shuanglong turned around and picked up Lihua Song, and said softly: "Moreover, this is not a place to talk, such an environment is too bad." ”
As he spoke, a gap appeared behind Zheng Shuanglong, and Zheng Shuanglong walked into this gap with Lihua in his arms and disappeared into this playground.
"Wait!!" Yuri Nakamura, who watched Zheng Shuanglong leave, shouted loudly.
Before Yuri Nakamura's words fell, dozens of gaps unfolded, swallowing all the members of the world front after death, and all the members of Yusa's soul in this world.
Temple of the Sky.
In the quiet temple of the sky, dozens of gaps suddenly appeared, and nearly a hundred people spit out, all of them were real humans with souls and souls different from NPCs.
Because of this strange way, these young people were full of palpitations, and they were restless because of fear.
"What kind of place is this?" Looking at this beautiful temple of the sky, Yuri Nakamura asked in surprise. Yuri Nakamura, who was swallowed up by the gap, only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he came to this fantastic palace, which is really a bit unrealistic.
"What's the matter, I've just been fighting again, why did I suddenly get here. Is there such a place in the world after death, and why I never know. Hinata, who died but suddenly came back to life, touched his body that was not injured at all, looked at this sky temple in shock, and said dumbfounded.
"Am I not dead. What's going on, is that the grown-age thing to do? Touching the wound that should have existed, Fumito Naoi said with some uncertainty.
"Yuri!!" Noda, who saw Yuri Nakamura, shouted loudly.
"It's superficial." Looking at the crowd that was agitated because of the sudden arrival here, Shiina, who was holding the small knife tightly, said softly.
"Such a beautiful place, how did Yuyi get here?" Yui, who was holding the guitar, hid behind Asami Iwasawa, carefully stretched her head, and asked Miyuki Irie, who was hiding behind Naoko.
"I came to this world after being devoured by a strange eye." Naoko touched the head of Miyuki Irie, who was timid behind her, and said softly.
Is there really a god, because the actions of himself and others have angered the gods. So the gods are going to punish us. Yusa, who carefully hid to Shiina's side, thought with a little palpitations.
…………
Anxiety spreads among the crowd, and although they keep shouting that they want to accuse the gods, how many of them can really calm down if they really encounter such a completely incomprehensible thing, and the members of the world front after death are just ordinary high school students.
A huge gap appeared in the main hall, and nearly a hundred chairs appeared in this temple of the sky.
The brilliance shone, Zheng Shuanglong appeared in front of the throne of faith in this hall with Lihua, and sat on the throne of faith, Zheng Shuanglong looked at these stupid and restless crowds that were a little dumb. He said calmly, "Welcome to my temple of the sky, human!" (To be continued......)
