Chapter 85: The Darkest Place in the World
The Church has always talked about the darkest place in the world, and everyone has a different understanding of this place. Some people think that the unknown realm is a dark place, some people think that the universe is a dark place, and some people think that the darkest place is inside the human body. But none of these people have really experienced the boundless darkness.
Marina didn't know how she got here, she walked barefoot in the endless darkness. She remembered that she had been hiding in a corner of the park, and before that, she had tried to tear the sleeping Kankaroff to shreds, but she resisted the urge and chose to hide alone, even if she turned into a monster without harming the person she loved the most. But when she couldn't feel the furious power in her, she found herself in the darkness.
Marina didn't know what it was, she couldn't see the road under her feet, and the ground was so flat and smooth from the solid touch under her feet that Marina didn't feel the slightest foreign object on the ground.
Marina walked slowly, scared at first, but after walking for so long, she got used to the darkness and silence. Although she couldn't see anything, Marina didn't feel any danger here. Since she is trapped here, let's find a way, at this time Marina regrets a little, she misses her lover Kankaroff so much. Every time he thinks of his lover, the loneliness in Marina's heart is temporarily dispelled, and he can be strong and keep moving forward.
After walking for a long, long time, Marina found that she would not feel hungry, thirsty, or tired here. Without the influence of these negative factors, Marina felt that she could go on like this until she came out of the darkness and was with her beloved.
Time and space seem to collapse in this boundless darkness, and no one will always be in a good state here. The same is true of Marina, and after a long, long time, Marina was invaded by a strong sense of loneliness in her heart, and tears immediately fell like beads with broken threads. Marina wept bitterly, feeling more and more helpless in the infinite darkness, and she silently recited Kankaroff's name, hoping that her lover would appear in front of her eyes immediately. But what else is there but darkness? Marina cried so much that her whole body trembled, she was so excited that she was so excited, why did she come here, she came here.
Unable to move forward for the time being, Marina sat on the ground, hugged her knees, buried her head between her arms, and never stopped crying in pain. She didn't have a nervous breakdown, she felt wronged, why did she suffer these terrible things as an ordinary person? Thinking of being invaded by demonic spirits, she barely endured the heart-rending pain, if she couldn't bear it, would she still be in this and the world now? Maybe she shouldn't have been in this world in the first place.......
Once you deny yourself, darkness will take advantage of it. I don't know why, Marina unconsciously remembered the word church, she didn't believe in the church, how could she have the memory of the church? Marina stopped crying, and she stopped denying her own existence, and she wondered how she could have known the proverbs of the church, an unbelievable situation that made Marina feel even stranger than this dark world.
Marina felt that she didn't hate or like the church, but she didn't know the church at all, she just had this idea, she didn't understand why it was herself, it seemed that she should think that way in her heart.
Once something that is taken for granted has a non-inevitable factor, then it is not a thing that should necessarily happen. Marina searched carefully for the church in her memory, and when she searched for her memory, some strange things gradually became clear in her memory, but although those things were clear, Marina didn't know what they were. It looks like two people, but both of them have wings, but the difference is that the wings of these two people are different, and they both hold gorgeous swords, and they seem to be in a state of confrontation.
Seeing this, Marina was dizzy, all the images disappeared, and the things in the depths of her memory were so draining that she had to stop thinking for a while.
After stopping to think, new questions will follow. Marina seemed to hear someone say this, and the voice was very ethereal, but the timbre was very beautiful, and it seemed to be a girl's voice. Marina tried to see with her eyes if there was anything around her, but she found nothing, and nothing could be seen in this absolutely dark world.
So what is this new problem? Marina thought, and she unconsciously recalled her own background - I was an orphan, I grew up in a welfare home, no one liked me, and the director didn't like me, they always looked at me with strange eyes, and every time the director saw me, she had to hold on to a cross ornament on ......her chest. No, why is that, in retrospect, those people's eyes are full of fear and some disgust, why is that? Didn't I look for a mirror to see if I was scary? But there was not a single mirror to be found in the welfare home, not even the water would reflect the image! This, what was going on?! Marina thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, many things were so incredible, but she didn't see it!
Marina felt that there would be so many strange events hidden in her body, which showed a problem, she was probably not a normal human in the first place! Thinking of this, Marina suddenly felt a chill coming, out of the instinct to protect herself, Marina immediately thought of demonization, but in this darkness, she actually lost the ability of demons!
Marina is now completely an ordinary girl with no ability to resist, and she can't cope with any danger. Marina kept retreating, even if she didn't have a keen sense, she could feel the heavy oppression emanating from the thing opposite, if it wasn't for Marina being strong, I'm afraid she would be sitting on the ground by now!
Marina's heart was beating violently, and she felt her breathing become uneasy due to the extreme tension of her feelings, and little stars began to emerge in front of her eyes, and the thing that generated a huge oppressive force was approaching unhurriedly. Marina had the painful feeling of being targeted by a predator.
Marina didn't know how long she had retreated, she was gritting her teeth all the time, and the huge object in front of her didn't seem to be in a hurry to do anything, probably wanting to see her prey panic. Marina thought of Kankaroff, the boy she loved, and at this moment, a feeling of wanting to be free lingered in Marina's mind. Being able to think of her lover at the last moment of her life, Marina felt that this endless darkness was not so terrible. Thinking of this, Marina stopped retreating, and she decided to face death, even if that would cause a lot of pain to Kankarov.
"You're really not an ordinary person. There was a high-pitched, screeching sound from the thing opposite, but strangely, Marina could hear it talking.
"Y-Who are you?" asked Marina, who had the last of her courage, trying to stare at what might have been her eyes, "What is this place, did you get me here?"
"You have a lot to say! You don't have the right to ask questions here!" the shrill voice sounded again, and it continued: "Although you don't have the right to question, I will tell you something, after all, everyone who comes here is voluntary. ”
"Voluntarily? I didn't come voluntarily. Marina said weakly.
"Hehehehe, it doesn't matter if it's voluntary or not, but the important thing is that everyone who comes here needs strength. Don't you need it?"
"I... What do I need strength for?" asked Marina, puzzled.
"Strength, what a wonderful thing, it allows you to protect the people you value. ”
"Really, really?"
"Of course. ”
"What are your conditions?" asked Marina suddenly.
"Condition, no condition, you have shown me interesting things, I have decided to give you power, and you will not be controlled by me, but when you need more power, don't forget me, I am still here waiting for you. At that time, it is not too late for us to talk about new conditions. ”
Marina was a little moved, it was her greatest wish to protect the people she valued, but would power be a good thing in this endless dark world? Marina hesitated again.
"You don't suspect my identity because you don't know my identity, but I tell you that you don't need to guess my identity, because you can't imagine who I am with your knowledge, and I don't need to calculate your existence that is comparable to a mote. Accept the power and get out of here. ”
The cacophony ended, and before Marina could react, she suddenly felt empty under her feet, and then the whole world twisted and twisted like a whirl.......
