Chapter Forty-Three: I Gave Up on You
Yes, the same dream as the first time, Shur has repeated it dozens of times, and it is for this reason that after waking up this time, he can face everything so skillfully, and even know everyone's actions well, and can prepare in advance. It's only when he's dealing with a wild animal, because that guy is so unpredictable, and every time he first meets, the prank is different, so that Shul has to be unlucky every time, and he already knows what other people are going to say and do, and what will change according to their attitudes.
He had a heated argument with Judy, had an awkward argument with Lisa over the assignment, hurt Saf very much to keep them away, fought with Ferrers over the details of the ceremony, and even ...... The Brown Star Fleet was mobilized to erase three nations, along with their citizens, from the map of Pavadiga forever.
Trying step by step, falling again and again, and failing every time it fails, it means that the world in a dream of Lord Kaeya has been completely buried, and Shul has stepped on the destroyed world all the way forward, trying to find a slim hope.
How many times the dream was repeated? How many worlds have been destroyed? How many times have you pushed your favorite people into the abyss with your own hands? Shul didn't even dare to count. Again and again, he tried his best, but again and again he reaped despair, and the frustration and guilt continued to accumulate, making Shuer's shoulders heavier and heavier.
It's really tiring, there are no comrades-in-arms, no support, and there is not even anyone to share the mood and worry, no one can tell you what you want to say, and you can only fight alone every time. It is pointless to tell the people around you, it will not have any effect except to make them confused, rather than let them end in hesitation and anxiety, it is better to bear it alone, at least, Shul believes that his ability to bear is a little stronger than that of several girls.
Yes, as Lord Luna said, Shul is not a fragile person, in fact, his psychological quality is amazingly strong, if it were someone else, after repeating the same nightmare dozens of times, it is estimated that he would have had a mental breakdown due to despair, and Shule no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least on the surface he can still smile at every familiar face, just by the smile on his face, he is already worthy of Lord Luna's praise.
But no matter how strong the psychological quality is, there is always a limit, and once the limit is broken, the reaction is often stronger than that of ordinary people, just like once a dam full of water bursts, the destructive power often increases exponentially. Obviously, Shul has come to the verge of collapse, even if he comes out of the dream, the inner pressure cannot be relieved, and the embankment full of water is in danger of bursting at any time, so ......
"So, you want to come to see me for the first time?" The goddess was very satisfied with Shu'er's decision, faith is originally the spiritual sustenance of mortals, especially the priesthood, when it is most needed, seek spiritual solace from the faith, this is the choice that a priest should choose. Perhaps Shure didn't intend to tell the truth when he came, but just wanted to meet the most important deity to him, but Luna obviously did better than he imagined, and saw through the pain and depression in his heart at a glance, "It just so happens that I'm very idle now, and I'm very interested in hearing the story in your dream." ”
"My pleasure. ”
At some point, Shul had already sat down next to Luna-sama, skillfully pouring teacups for the two of them, the tea leaves of his hometown, the brewing method of his hometown, and the goddess in front of him who had reborn himself in Parvati, all of which made Shuer's emotions gradually calm down, as if telling someone else's story, babbling about his dream experience.
"Actually, you know how to get out of Kaeya's dream. The more Xiu'er spoke, the more relaxed he became, but the goddess did not interrupt him, but just listened quietly with a teacup, until Xiu'er's narration or venting stopped for a while, and she asked in a cold voice, "When you can't hold on, why don't you quit in time?"
"I have my responsibility, and if I don't find the answer, how can I just quit and admit defeat casually? I don't have that hobby. Shuer leaned back in his chair relaxed, and said leisurely, "Moreover, I don't feel that I have reached a point where I can't hold on, after all, whether it is a dream or reality, you will always be with me, right?"
"Yes, I'm with you, but ......" the goddess's voice was a little more teasing, "but what did you do to me in your dreams?"
Shuer's movements froze suddenly, and the smile that had just been flashed froze on his face.
"You're underestimating our connection, Shure. Luna said lightly, "You are my apostle, and this is also my sanctuary, and although I can't see your thoughts directly like spiritual contact, I can at least feel your emotions." ”
Shuer's expression was a little embarrassed, and he blocked his view with his teacup.
"From the moment you came in, I felt that you had come to me with the idea of atonement, and your heart was full of apologies. Shure couldn't see his exterior clearly, but he could feel Luna-sama's gaze on his face, "That's why I didn't get you up just now, and if it makes you feel better, I don't mind." But even if it's a god, I'm curious, and I'm curious, and I'm curious, what makes you so guilty that even oracles can make up at will?"
"Heh, heh. When he was told of his feat, Shul laughed dryly with a fluttering eye.
"You've just woken up from a dream, and you haven't had time to apologize for anything, heh, you don't feel guilty because you've slept for too long. The Goddess's tone was relaxed, but the words she uttered were not at all lighthearted, "The only explanation is that you did something in your dream that you thought were unforgivable, and you wanted to ask for my forgiveness, then...... What the hell did you do?"
It sounds ridiculous, but it's just an act in a dream, and who is responsible for what is done in a dream?
A qualified priest must have a heartfelt respect and worship for the gods, and always carry out this belief from the moment he realizes his actions. Therefore, even in a dream, the priest could not have done anything degrading to the gods, otherwise the faith would have been overshadowed.
Of course, what is done in a dream cannot be known to others, so whatever is done in the dream is not condemned, but unfortunately, faith cannot be deceived by itself, and unless the dream cannot be remembered, the priest knows in his heart whether he has blasphemed the gods.
"I ......," Shure opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and saying, "I gave up on you in my dream." ”
