Boundless darkness.

No light can be seen.

Kane felt as if he was in a secret chamber buried deep underground, extinguishing all the candles, chandeliers, wall lamps, and even candlesticks.

Occasionally, the candlestick would light up a little bit of fire, illuminating a small blur of landscape, or jungle, or cliff, or muddy path, and hear sounds that seemed familiar, but could not always be remembered.

"Stop the bleeding!"

"I need bandages and numbing!"

"Be light, don't let him have anything to do, don't!"

The lights of the candlesticks were soon extinguished, and the world seemed to be plunged into darkness again, and Kane was alone in a corner, quietly enduring the endless darkness.

Finally, this time it's a wall lamp.

"These bitches are here, take him out of here. ”

"No, it's too late, I'll go and lure them away, promise me, save him!"

"I swear by everything I have!"

It took a long time after the wall lamps went out and no lights came on, seemingly more than centuries, so long that Kane had almost forgotten what the light looked like.

This time it seems to be in a cave.

"He's having a high fever, and what's worse he's needing food, and he's in need of water!"

"We can't go out now, they're looking for us. ”

"With this, I hope he wakes up and doesn't remember the smell, it's said to be fishy. ”

"Tell me, he'll be fine, right?"

There is no answer.

Once again, the world is plunged into never-ending darkness.

This time the darkness was brightened by the chandelier overhead, which burned with thousands of candles, and there were many different views in this firelight.

He saw.

A young boy with a wooden sword made of discarded table corners and scraps of wood sparrowed through a country road lined with fields of golden wheat.

The little boy raised his sword and shouted as he ran:

"I'm going to be a knight!"

"Knights of Justice!"

......

He saw.

In a gorgeous auditorium, a handsome young man stood on the podium, full of spirit, heroic and straight, and his extremely bright eyes seemed to have a whole world in them.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the end of his speech, the endless crowd sitting below burst into warm applause, which resounded in the sky and added a sense of pride to the young man's eyes.

......

A girl walked into this boy's world.

It was at a prom.

For some reason, the boy didn't seem to be very good at dancing, and since he entered the banquet hall, he had been standing by the windowsill, leaning against the windowsill without respect, holding a tall crystal glass with a fuchsia wine, and quietly looking at the crowd in front of him with a smile.

It was at this time that the girl walked up to him, and her bright smile left a deep impression on him.

Although he had truthfully answered his poor dancing skills, he rejected many invitations from young ladies dressed up in fancy clothes one after another.

She took off her white gloves and generously held out her hand in front of him.

"Would you like to learn to dance? Is it rude to turn down a gracious invitation from a lady, or is this gentleman ready to make me a laughing stock among my fellow men tomorrow?"

In this way, he could not find the slightest reason to refuse.

......

The candlelight went out.

It didn't light up again.

Kane waited in the darkness for a long, long time, until he couldn't stand the darkness, the endless loneliness.

He opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound, the world was quiet and terrible, quiet like a tomb that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

He was fed up with the loneliness, fed up with the darkness.

He started running.

Keep running.

Running tirelessly in one direction, he wanted to get out of here, from this darkness and loneliness.

But no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, the darkness never saw an end, boundless, and endless.

Finally.

He was desperate.

He sat down, bent his legs, buried his head between his knees, his eyes tightly closed, his body trembling.

He was terrified, terrified of the darkness.

That's when it happened.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a little starlight shining, very faint, even more insignificant than the flickering fire before.

But it was so obvious in the darkness that Kane quickly caught it.

It's like a victim drifting on the boundless ocean and finally catching a raft that floats from nowhere.

Kane suddenly got to his feet and ran tirelessly towards the place where the light was shining.

His footsteps never stopped, and he was afraid that the light would quietly fade out again without knowing when.

Finally.

He came to the end of the light, a place that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but the scenery was very beautiful.

White wildflowers grow among the green meadows, buzzing bees feed on the buds, and the smell of earth fills the air.

In this beautiful meadow, there are piles of broken tiles, rotten wood, rusty and mottled common ironware, as well as broken colorful glass windows and wavy stone pillars.

It can be seen that this ruin has been abandoned for a long time, but through these traces of the ruins, people can still reverie the majesty and grandeur of this temple in the past.

Faintly, there seemed to be a voice.

"May the Father in heaven... Your most pious servant... I hope you hear me calling... Give me your supreme power... Favor him... Bless him... so that he could..."

Subconsciously.

Kane followed the voice, through the green moss-covered corridors, past a garden with an old, depleted pool, and up the crumbling stone steps.

From afar, he saw such a picture.

Among the weeds of the ruins, a girl knelt with her hands clasped in front of her chest, and in front of her was a tall, broken cross leaning against the wall.

A few bright rays of sunlight fell on her through the cracks in the roof, through the broken, mottled glass windows, and the dust was clearly visible in the beams.

But the girl in a white robe under the beam was spotlessly white, like a holy angel, draped in a veil woven entirely of light.

She knelt there silently, uttering her most pious prayer over and over again.

Kane walked over, trying to see the girl's appearance clearly, but he was so close, even at an impolite distance, that the girl's face was still blurry and indistinguishable.

Only her heavenly prayer, full of infinite worry, echoed in Kane's ears in this small square inch.

“... Bless him in all safety, and deliver him from his affliction and from evil... Thy most devout servant, for which I will pay all the price..."

Sound, that's it.

In a dark cave.

A pair of eyes slowly woke up.
