Chapter 219: 'Miracles'
God...
What kind of gods...
If the old man said that the majestic giant with his body like ink-dyed armor and scorching snow was a god...
I... And what...
...
The old man knelt at the edge of the valley basin.
In front of her was a circle of carefully prepared rations, which were not a little fishy, but their sincerity could be seen.
She kept whispering words as if she were praying.
Such a pious 'faith', even Seiichi has never witnessed it with his own eyes.
Two young and powerful ninjas stood quietly behind her...
To say that it was forcibly brought over... Of course not.
Although the old man seemed to burst out with a force in his eagerness, it was actually just Seiichi who was actively following her footsteps.
Even after a certain distance, the old man's heart gradually fades, or he has more than enough heart but no longer has enough strength.
The last part of the journey was even carried by Obito on her back.
According to the old man's original wishes, she should have prayed in the glimmer of light... But he was stopped by Seiichi.
The eyes of the 'gods' in the mouths of the old people... It is the 'moon' that glows in the middle of the circular valley.
Obito noticed Seiichi's strange silence... It's not like his 'confrontation' before.
If it is Chengyi, there must be better persuasion...
Why is he like... Indifferent?
"That's the eye left by the gods..."
The old man's prayer seemed to have come to an end.
She gazed at the second moon that shone under the moon.
She seemed to realize something, and her mouth was full of her piety.
"At the beginning... After the gods vent their anger on the ninjas... It still doesn't seem to be full..."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The old man did not turn around, she still folded her hands with great piety, but quietly conveyed God's will and told the great deeds of God to the two ignorant and ignorant people behind her.
"I see..."
"Everywhere she looks, everything is distorted... All things, all life... None of them could escape her sight. ”
"Everything is moving closer to the place where her eyes are gathered..."
"Everything... are all attracted by her gaze..."
"It's pitch black... But it shines again..."
Eventually, her eyes burst out... Here another sun rises..."
"She burned everything that was against him..."
"And all who dare to look at the sun... It's disrespectful..."
"All punished by the gods..."
After the old man had finished telling the miracle she had seen with her own eyes, she bowed down again...
There was a hoarse song in my mouth...
"Ahh The gods... Please calm the remnants of anger... Have mercy on the world..."
"Forgive us for our sins..."
"Please..."
"Grant the old body the right to go to the eternal realm..."
...
Obito seemed to be unable to bear to turn his head to look at his best friend who seemed to be omnipotent.
He wanted to ask a question of his omniscient companion...
He didn't hope that Seiichi would be able to 'save' the old man.
The scene reflected in the eyes of the kaleidoscope writing wheel has already told the two of them...
This old man has long been saved...
The chakra in the meridians around her was like muddy mud... No more flowing, only wriggling.
Even the chakra flames in the chest, with the heart as the source, were only a few scattered sparks.
It's not a disease...
It's aging.
No one can resist ... A true punishment from the gods.
Even if she is driven away from here, the old man's life may not be half a year left at most...
Or even months... Maybe it's a bit too much...
I'm afraid it's because of this.
Before Seiichi... Only refute, but not resist.
But what Obito is thinking at the moment is actually not wanting Seiichi to 'save'.
He just wanted to ask this genius who had never known everything...
...
Kami-sama, does it really exist?
...
If not...
......
This old grandmother is too pitiful...
...
But he didn't get out after all.
Whether it is the 'glimmer' of danger spoken by Cheng Yi, or the 'miracle' of the old man's mouth.
In fact, they have already let Obito have their own answers.
Unconsciously, these two young ninjas with a heavy mission were just like this, and slowly waited until the sky turned blue with the old man's pious whisper.
A new sun is about to rise again in the east.
"Look..."
The old man who was kneeling on the ground also raised his head, as if looking at the great sun that was about to rise.
"Look..."
"This is the favor of the gods, and it is the way to atone for our sins... It is her compassion to us..."
Sun... Is it also a gift from the gods?
Now it's hard to believe what the old man says.
But when Obito reconfirms the direction the old man is looking at...
Everything you see...
But it's for this ninja who has already seen hell... Once again, a bone-chilling chill rose from the bottom of my heart.
Last night the moon was shining... But it's not blazing enough.
The moonlight could not hide the glimmer of light emanating from the valley, nor could it illuminate the truth that was hidden by the false moonlight...
The surroundings that lead to the center of the valley... The 'miracles' of the old people are on display, telling the tragedy they have experienced.
They seemed to be trying their best to get to the very center of the valley, to touch the moon that was false in the night.
But they're all silent now...
The old man's eyes, which he couldn't open, seemed to be injected with light again at this moment.
She shouted loudly, ignoring the hoarse voice.
"Look... This is the bridge to eternity! ”
She opened her arms as if she had witnessed God's coming again.
"O God, please have the courage with me to follow your miracles; Give me the strength to reach the eternal kingdom!"
Suddenly, the old man struggled to his feet and leaped down the valley.
It was as if she had taken the power from somewhere again.
It was as if she had regained the lost time, and let her hands and feet have the power to run again.
She galloped towards the valley.
She stepped on the glimmer of light and accepted the test that God had given her.
Running... Running...
Before you know it...
The villagers who had fallen around them had risen again, regaining the vitality of the young old man and the fullness on their faces.
They saw the joy they experienced in the eternal kingdom.
The 'priests' who originally chanted the majesty of the gods are leading the people in singing and dancing...
She saw... God's gift...
I saw my own child...
He stood in front of God's eyes, smiling at the old man...
He opened his arms, waiting for his mother's long-lost hug...
...
"Peng..."
......
There are no such thing as 'miracles'.
Is...
It's just a fall.
Obito retracted his outstretched arm.
His eyes were full of puzzlement, and his voice was on the verge of anger.
"Why... Stop me. ”
The masked young man on the side was silent for a long time, and in the end he only replied in a low voice.
"You should have seen why."
...
The edge of the valley is covered with bones.
The more you go into it, the weirder it becomes...
Some of the bones and flesh melted and peeled away, scattered but not rotten, like a crumbling picture book...
Near the center, someone had reached out and touched the false moon.
Merely... His arm seemed to be burned by fire, and it was empty.
However, its body is well preserved, just like air-dried.
...
"Why are they... Would do something like this? ”
“... Just because you believe in the gods? ”
"Is there really a god in this world?"
"Why would the gods do such a thing?"
"Believing in the gods, why did this happen..."
"Seiichi... I don't understand..."
Obito questioned and questioned again and again, but he didn't give Chengyi time to answer at all.
Because he knows...
Seiichi couldn't answer, just as he couldn't answer either.
At first, he was reluctant to let Seiichi contradict the old man's beliefs, as it would make people angry.
In the end, he wanted to stop the old man from rushing to death, but...
I had to watch.
“...”
"It's okay..."
"I don't understand either..."
...
He turned around with a smile, and couldn't bear to look at this tragic scene again.
Yes...
You don't really need to ask.
He had already come up with an answer.
At all costs... None of this place feels like some kind of sacred.
It's more like a vicious curse, a mad vent.
If the guy who caused all this was a 'god'...
His eyes seemed to tighten slightly, and his palms were unconsciously clenched into fists.
...
Such a god... It's up to me to discipline.
"I know... It's not a miracle..."
A faint voice came, and I couldn't hear joy or sorrow.
Obito turned his head again, only to find that the companion was just looking down at the old man's back basket for the memorial service.
Watch as the food is carefully cooked with little to no meat.
“...”
"Seiichi?"
The boy took off his mask and looked at his friend who knew his most secrets.
"Obito."
His eyes remained unmoved, just as stated.
"It's just... Insane incriminating evidence. ”
