Chapter 941 Dark War
Even though everything in front of him was new, Kane was attracted by the old man standing on the outskirts of the cemetery with his back to him.
It was the 'first time' for him to see his grandfather, whom he had never met, but he found that he was just looking at the other party, and a kind of pressure came to his heart.
This 'grandfather' seems to be very simple.
"Wow, Grandpa Herag is still so scary!"
"Fries, do you have any sense that Grandpa seems to be unhappy?"
"Is there one?"
"Stop gossiping, you two, be as serious as your brother Kane!"
Fourteen-year-old Anna and fifteen-year-old Friese whispered, and Jessica patted the two children on the head, successfully making the siblings shut their reluctant little mouths.
The old man with the holy book in his hand turned around, glanced at the crowd who didn't dare to breathe, paused on Kane's face as if he didn't have anything, and then nodded and motioned for Fern and Taylor to retreat.
Walking slowly to the corpse, the old man's short silver staff tapped the stone slab on the ground with a heavy thumping sound.
"Welcome, thank you to the three gods, we are gathered here, bathed in the light of the three gods to witness the rest."
"Thanksgiving ......"
"Thanksgiving ......"
Moved by the three gods, Gerag opened the holy book and read the prayer of rest revealed by the holy book in a heavy manner.
"His Lamb rests in heaven, but there are fools on earth who suffer because of strife......
The family members of the deceased put their hands together in front of them, and the rest of the people also bowed their heads and closed their eyes, listening to the scriptures spoken by the old man.
“…… May all glory and praise be to the three gods, and rest for departed souls, amen. ”
Recalling the 'rustic' French words of the old man's mouth, Kane opened his eyes and looked at the thirteen corpses that had never changed in any way, and always felt that something on the corpses seemed to be missing where he couldn't see.
Shaking his head, Kane dismissed it as a delusion.
After the ceremony, the old man took out the seal from his arms, and the family members of the deceased stepped forward in turn to stamp the certificate with a red seal.
When the shroud is re-covered, the deceased should go, stay, and cremat, and die with more etiquette and morality than when they were alive.
"Kelly, take care of your younger siblings."
Jessica said a word to Kelly, and went with her husband Fern to deal with the customers who were going to be buried in the churchyard.
Ramos was in charge of accompanying the families who were going to remove the bodies and wanted to go elsewhere for burial or cremation, waiting for Taylor to drive into the cemetery in a van.
Silent passengers are pulled directly to the parking lot outside the church to change vehicles, and they are completely buried in hearses from funeral homes or crematoriums.
Adults have their own things, and children have their own fun.
"I'm the Inquisitor! I declare you guilty! You are guilty, what to run, you are also guilty! Accusation...... Accusation...... The crime is to revere the great Inquisitor of Fries! Death penalty! All are subject to death! ”
Gathering in front of the ant nest under the tree, Anna saw that she could not stop Fries's evil deeds to the poor ants, so she had to pretend not to see it, and turned her head to whisper to Kelly.
"Sister Kelly, I heard from my classmates that nuns are really pitiful and can't experience the pleasure of women in their lives, is it true? What exactly is a woman's pleasure? Sister Kelly, who wants to become a real nun, must know, right? ”
Avoiding the inquisitive gaze of the curious girl, Kelly's ears and neck turned pink at a visible rate, and she was speechless for a long time.
"Hmm! Be...... Be...... This one...... I, I'm ...... too"
"Sister Kelly, you don't know, do you? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? ”
"Anna, come here."
Kane, who had a cold face, found that he couldn't continue to be silent, what kind of school was this, and what was going on with Anna's classmates?
Is this something that little ones should discuss?
"Brother Kane? I always feel that you have bad intentions? Is your face stuck with glue again? It was as stretched as the bark of a tree. ”
"Come here."
"Oh."
Looking down at the cute little girl who was a head and a half shorter than himself, Kane couldn't help but sigh that the genes of the Constantine family were really strong.
Bending slightly, Kane looked solemnly at his somewhat timid cousin and organized his words.
"Which classmate told you that? Male or female? What is your relationship? ”
"Yes...... It was a female classmate named Sylvia, who was in the same class as me and was a good friend of mine. ”
Anna responded cautiously, only to feel that the brother in front of her was a little strange, compared to the early morning, it was almost like two people, to say that it was similar to the cold and gloomy style before the illness, it was not very appropriate, anyway, it was very awkward.
"Anna, let me tell you, a good girl shouldn't discuss these issues, and she shouldn't use such questions to embarrass her sister."
Speaking very seriously, Kane noticed that the little girl seemed a little unimpressed, and began to question himself in turn.
"I'm just curious, is there anything I can't ask? The teacher also said in class, if you don't understand the problem, you have to understand it, and you and your sister are not willing to tell me, then I will go to someone else, hum! ”
"Okay Kane, leave it to me Anna, I'll explain it to her."
Although Kelly stepped forward in time to try to ease the atmosphere between the two, Anna still relentlessly spoke.
"I really thought you had changed, you knew it but you wouldn't tell your sister, Kane, you're such a terrible brother! I hate you! ”
Seeing the indignant Anna running in the direction of the church, Kelly glanced helplessly at Kane and quickly followed, only Fries stood up from the root of the tree in a daze.
"Huh? What happened to Anna and Sister Kelly? Brother Kane? ”
Looking at the 'younger brother' in front of him with complicated eyes, Kane found that it was simply unrealistic to say that he really recognized and accepted these relatives who occupied the body of 'Kane'.
For myself, those memories inherited from the original body are more like an external hard drive damaged by the computer, and I can only read some important memories from it that have not yet dissipated, but I cannot receive any emotions from the hard drive.
The love for his loved ones, the pride of his family, and his dissatisfaction with himself, the feelings that 'Kane' once had were like a pale piece of paper to himself, not only meaningless, but also at the right time to give himself a sense of deranged nothingness and disgust.
It can even be said that the reason why Kelly is so good to herself is simply because her name is 'Kane', and her feelings for 'Kane' have nothing to do with her at all.
The funny thing is that he is still complacent about the false feelings that have nothing to do with him, and enjoys the emotional contribution of others without guilt.
It's like a shameless clown.
The love of loved ones, the privileged life, everything is just the added value brought by the shell that you occupy now, and it has nothing to do with yourself.
In that case, why don't you leave this family that makes you uncomfortable and go to a strange place to start a new life?
Maybe it's time to leave the name 'Kane' behind and leave with nothing to remember and live with.
The legacy of the Konstantin family should not belong to them in the first place, and there is nothing to be reluctant to.
Leaving the Requiem Church, you won't really starve to death on the streets in an age when you already have internal combustion engines and telephones.
Having made the decision to leave tonight, Kane sighed and touched the head of the somewhat unknown Fries.
"Study the holy book hard, and when grandpa leaves, this big family will have to rely on you to support it in the future."
"Huh?"
"Ahh
"Master...... Grandpa Herag......"
Turning his head stiffly, Kane stared blankly at the black-robed old man who didn't know when he was standing behind him.
I don't know why, he always felt that the silver cane in the old man's hand was about to move, and with the old man's smiling face, it looked extremely terrifying.
"Kane, my good grandson, Grandpa hasn't left yet, and he's already thinking about what will happen after Grandpa leaves."
"Master...... Lord, that's not what I meant. ”
The old man turned his head to look at the timid Fries, and frowned less noticeably.
"Fries, you tell your dad that I'll take Kane out on some errands today. Kane, you come with me. ”
Seeing the strange atmosphere of the two leaving, Fries's trembling legs went limp, and he sat down directly on the ground.
Two big ants that slipped out of the ant nest just took advantage of the weakness to enter, burrowed into the boy's trouser legs, and slammed into the yellow dragon.
"Whoa!!"
……
With a little more bad premonition in his heart, Kane looked at the old man walking to the east and asked tentatively.
"Grandpa, where are we going?"
"Go to a good place."
"What's the best place?"
Unable to respond to Kane's question, Herag simply walked forward in silence.
"Goo Goo Goo Go
The cry of an owl was heard from the sky, and soon a white-faced owl fell from the sky and landed precisely on the old man's right shoulder.
As if sensing Kane's gaze, the owl's head suddenly turned back 180 degrees, and the chubby bird's face was a little more humane sarcastic, which made Kane think that he had entered a state of insanity.
When did owls get so smart? Will you be sarcastic?
The atmosphere between the two is becoming more and more depressing, and the uneasiness in Kane's heart is gradually increasing.
If memory is correct, this path should lead to the east flowergarden that 'I' have never been.
Although I haven't been there, I've heard my grandfather tell me that it's full of flowers and plants.
Well, it's really a good place to do a resting ceremony, and you can bury it directly after the ceremony, think about it carefully, as the so-called 'peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic', in fact, it's not bad to be a flower fertilizer.
Confirming that he couldn't beat the physically strong old man in front of him, Kane began to look around, looking for an escape opportunity.
"Goo-goo! Goo-goo! ”
The sudden cry of the white-faced owl startled Kane and stopped Herag, who had been walking with his head covered.
The old man didn't look back, but his voice was indifferent.
"Kane, where do you want to go? Do you want grandpa to give you a ride? ”
Once again sure that he could not escape from the old man who was two laps stronger than him in front of him, Kane glared at the owl that was mocking him with his half-open beak and replied with a forced smile.
"Grandpa, I'm not going anywhere, the church is my home."
"Oh, I thought you'd found your way home...... Since you're not going anywhere, let's keep walking, it's almost there. ”
"Okay grandpa."
The two of them soon arrived at the door of the flowerbed, and Herag took the key from the enchanted bag and opened the intricate mechanical lock of the flowerbed's door.
Following Herag into the flower garden, the crisp 'click' sound of the mechanical gears rolling behind him sounded, and when the gate closed automatically, Kane, who had re-aligned his head, found himself in a sea of flowers, and his fear dissipated, and his face was a little more relieved.
Gorgeous flowers that can't be named grow on both sides of the carved stone path, and tall marble pillar statues stand in pairs in plural forms on both sides of the road, with bats and horned goats' heads, crosses and half-moons with religious connotations, and strange shapes that you don't know what they are.
Herag stopped in the Gothic pavilion in the center of the flower garden, and carried the white-faced owl with round eyes on his shoulder on the stone table, and the old man slowly turned his body and looked at the 'eldest grandson' with a calm face in front of him.
Responding to the old man in front of him with a clear gaze, Kane didn't have any fear in his heart.
He didn't owe the Konstantin family, let alone the old man in front of him.
Since there is no debt, then naturally have a clear conscience.
Hellag let out a rare sigh, looking at Kane with a little more remembrance and love in his eyes.
"Your mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to you, and when you were young, you were unable to take care of yourself due to frailty and illness...... You must have forgotten your memories of being here......"
"I really don't have a memory of this......"
“……”
"What about my dad? How is he? ”
Regardless of his fate, at least for the moment, Kane is willing to talk to the old man in front of him about family life.
In his previous life, he was also the favorite chat partner of his uncles and aunts downstairs, which is why he used 'I' instead of 'Kane' according to the old man's words.
He was reluctant to break the old man's last thoughts of his grandson, even if both he and the old man understood what the person he was talking to in front of him thought of him.
As if surprised by Kane's calm attitude, Hellag smiled, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.
"Your father, my son Kester. Constantine left the church after the death of his wife and lost his whereabouts in a mission to eradicate heresy, ten years after the day I lost my son. (End of chapter)
