It is a silent space, and the only exit is a broken wooden door that has been mottled by the years. A dim light shone through the small hole in the wooden door, and became the only source of light here.

Directly facing the wooden door was a figure whose face was impossible to see. He was sitting back in a chair, his body extremely relaxed, his hands wrapped around the back of the chair, and there seemed to be something strange on his feet. It's hard to imagine what kind of strange posture he is in now.

There is a pungent smell everywhere here, and normal people will probably not want to stay here for a minute if they smell it. But the figure didn't care at all. He seemed to be asleep, without making a sound, and blended himself perfectly into the darkness.

There were not many furnishings inside, except for a table and a chair on which the figure sat on an iron pot made of stones. I'm afraid no one would think that this is a place to live.

"Tick~"

Strange sounds shattered the silence of the entire space. It was some kind of liquid intertwined with the ground. With a bright red trail and a dim light, it was so dazzling but full of danger.

"That guy didn't know if he was dead or not, he had been tossing for three days, and he didn't say anything. ”

"You know, it's different from what I've encountered before, he's the real thing. Otherwise, would it take us so much effort?"

"Shut up. ”

With the sound outside the door, the small wooden door was opened, and three middle-aged men dressed in ancient brocade clothes stepped into this space.

What they brought was the light outside the door, completely exposing the figure sitting in the chair. It turned out to be just a teenager.

The young man's body was wrapped around the rope several times, and the whole person was fixed to the chair, and the rope was deeply sunk into the young man's white and tender flesh. The wrist was restrained by a silver handcuff, and a steel needle about five centimeters long pierced through the hands and joined the palms together.

His condition is obviously not very good, and Leng Jun's face is no longer bloody. The three visitors failed to make him open his closed eyes. The corner of the left eye is constantly flowing with bright red liquid, and I am afraid that I will not be able to open it at all.

There was a rag wrapped around his legs, and from the fluffy appearance, he could tell that there was nothing in it. It may be that the enemy can't look at it anymore, so cover it up.

There was a hole in the left side of the chest, which didn't look very big, as if it had been pierced by a bow and arrow. There was no liquid to come out of it, after all, it was the place where the most blood had been shed in three days.

"Imp, are you dead? ”

The leader walked up to the boy's side, and put his finger into the hole in his left chest, stirring it up. When pulled out, there is a small clot of clotted blood wrapped around the finger, making it difficult to look directly.

It's just that the three of them have become accustomed to this kind of scene, and the leader takes his finger into his mouth and sucks. The dim light reflected his expression of enjoyment.

The boy didn't say a word, but opened his right eye, which was a pair of eyes that saw through everything. Anyone could see the glint in their eyes, full of majesty and determination, out of step with the situation at this time.

"Are you all so savage?" the boy's hoarse voice was a little harsh, but he could still hear what he said.

It is not surprising to see the three of them wake up of the teenager, it should be said that as long as it happens to the teenager, everything is not worth the accident.

It was the third day, and as the blood flowed, the boy grew weaker and weaker, but he was still alive, and his majestic eyes had never changed, even when his left eye was gouged out.

"Savage? I don't think so. It's my greatest pleasure to be able to lick your wounds. Are you right? ”

A joke turned the leader's face extremely ugly, and the cruel smile made the young man sigh softly.

"Patriarch, even if this guy is a god, he can die at any time, just like those elves he caught before, after all, he is already weak like this. Let's hurry up and ask for clues from the other gods. ”

Probably because of the victory over the gods, this made the leader's heart extremely satisfied, and he forgot his purpose for a while, and only remembered it after being reminded.

"That's right, I almost forgot. Little ghost, what about the little girl who was with you before, where did she go, and the location of the other gods, if you can catch other gods, then it's okay to leave you alive. ”

The leader knew that this seemingly sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could not be tortured to make him speak, and he only had the mentality of giving it a try to see if the gods really valued his life.

The boy laughed, but he didn't know whether to laugh at his own powerlessness or mock the leader's words.

"yes, I'm just a little ghost, and I can't see through humans after living for endless years. We were created in times of need, but now we are beginning to be abandoned. ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, if you want to live or not, hurry up. ”

The leader was a little impatient, and the pungent smell of the room was unbearable for him. More importantly, standing in front of this young man, he felt very depressed.

"I can't lie to you, I really want to keep myself alive. But can you tell me why I went looking for the gods, in order to grant wishes, in order to pray for the blessings of the gods, or ......?"

"Alright, don't give me. If you want to live, hurry up and say where they are. ”

The leader interrupted the young man, who felt that he was playing tricks on him, because the young man knew the reason, and he knew it the moment he lost his feet. The flesh and blood of the gods is undoubtedly the best tonic for those of them who are supernatural. It was the iron pot made of stone on the ground that gave them a taste of the delicacy called the gods.

Not annoyed by his interruption, the teenager began to flow a clear liquid from his right eye, matching the red color of his left eye, and continued his speech.

"Man gives birth to gods by faith, but discards them when he doesn't need them. Beneath that forgotten starry veil there was us. Some are so powerful that they can be intimidating. Some are weak but can satisfy people's hearts. When calamity swept and human beings pinned everything on dreams, it was we who shaped the world into the most realistic dream. ”

"Getting to the point. ”

This time, the leader did not speak, but a middle-aged man standing behind him spoke. The leader has long been holding back his anger, and he doesn't know when it will erupt. The two people in the back were afraid of harming the pond fish, so they had to stare at the boy with their eyes, hoping to bring him some pressure.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you where the other gods are. Let me at least finish the last story. ”

After hearing that the boy was willing to tell them the location of the god, the expressions of the three finally softened, and they stopped interrupting him.

"The gods watched over humanity above the starry curtain, and humanity once brought glory to the gods. The starry sky where faith converges is something I can't forget now. But in modern times, people's hearts began to change, and the once glorious gods were also torn apart by this torrent. The disappearance of countless gods has made us aware of the crisis. The gods, who could only sit and wait, were given a chance, a chance to choose. ”

"What choice?" the leader, who was still holding back the fire, took the lead in asking the question in his heart. As the teenager's speech deepened, he found that he could no longer stop it, as if an invisible magic force was pushing him to listen.

"An opportunity to choose between God and man. A chance to no longer be bound by faith and truly become human. It is the path opened by the oldest gods. Almost all the gods have chosen to incarnate as human beings, even if only for a hundred years. Among them was me. ”

The leader's heart jumped, this young man was captured with the strength of their clan, and now he learned that he was a born human, how could he stand it, if the real gods came, would they be able to resist it?

"Don't be afraid, we're not as strong as you think, and the moment I used my divine power, I was already restored to my godhood. As a god, all I can do is collect faith and live, or do nothing and disappear naturally. ”

"Why are you telling us this? The leader began to be a little worried, he couldn't guess what was going on in the mind of the young man in front of him.

"Because you want to know where the gods are, don't you?"

"But you still haven't told us. ”

"Right here in this city, all the gods are here, don't worry, I'm sure they'll come to you. ”

The young man's words made the leader even more uneasy, and although he didn't have specific information, he didn't want to stay here long.

"Let's go. ”

When the three of them walked out, the broken wooden door was closed again.

"I didn't expect to see such an ugly face at the last glance, and it seems that I can't tell the truth to the world anymore. ”

Looking at the little light on the small broken door, the young man gradually closed his right eye, and his body emitted the last light to illuminate the dim space.

"If I have the opportunity, I really want to take another look at the warm spring and cold winter, the summer cicada and the autumn maple. And the love that I have never experienced. I just want to be a human being. ”

......

On top of a tall building, a young girl stands on the top and looks down on the speeding cars below.

"I didn't expect you to disappear. Since no one is telling the truth, then I'll let the lies spread all over the city. ”

The moment of sadness that flashed in the girl's eyes was the first truth she revealed. As the god of lies, she can't show it, it's a pain that can only be enjoyed in her heart.

"Adepts, come and enjoy the gods' end. ”

A red light rushed from the tall buildings into the sky, more dazzling than sunlight, and although it was fleeting, it could silence the whole city.

Countless people looked up to find the source of the red light, and many silently disappeared into the crowd.

A pair of brothers and sisters were also attracted by the red light, looked at the sky thoughtfully, and finally sighed softly one after another, and turned away with the birthday cake they had just bought and mixed feelings.

God may just be a human dream, but this dream wakes up, and the god appears outside the dream.
