Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 22
Miao Yun slowly opened her eyes, there were still bursts of sharp pain in her head, but countless mornings were the same, but she felt that she didn't wake up with this pain, as if she was missing something.
For the past two years, she has been trapped in that square inch of land, as if she had been reduced to an animal to be seen, and all they wanted to do was to make her like the poor and humble ones, and to offer herself her purest faith to the heavens.
What faith is, Miao Yun never knows, but she knows that her faith will never be a shrine that hides behind the white clouds and never shows a clue.
Miao Yun turned her head slightly, the huge stimulation of the electric current had completely woken her up from the crazy worship and fanatical faith, she frowned slightly and looked at the small window next to the bed, the stars outside had faintly disappeared, this world was not her world, Miao Yun knew very well, there was no sun in this world, there was no moon, there were only bright stars in the night sky, but now it was indeed the time when the sky was about to be clear, because Miao Yun could clearly see the light in the distance that should be called the morning light, and was imprinting colors on her window that did not belong to the night。
Miao Yun rarely frowned, because she never felt that there was nothing worth thinking about in the world, wanting to do or not wanting to do, Miao Yun would always know her decision in an instant, but before coming here, she met the so-called "father" once, and it was another time about Luo Mu.
Luo Mu didn't know, with Miao Yun's keen hearing, she actually knew that Luo Mu was not dead, her hand that hit Luo Mu's face countless times had also touched Luo Mu's slender neck countless times in that dark night.
I don't know why, she just didn't want to kill him, she was almost carried away by the killing intent on the pontoon, but every time she looked at Luo Mu's dark eyes that actually hid countless pains, the thoughts in her mind seemed to be expanded countless times, no matter what, she just didn't want to kill him, this thought was so strong that she didn't even want to raise her hand when she saw Luo Mu swing his fist.
Miao Yun had a headache, and this kind of headache caused by thinking seemed to her to be much more powerful than the real sharp pain in her head, and this pain made her unavoidable.
Miao Yun was confused for the first time, she didn't know where the strange feeling about Luo Mu came from, she had never even really looked at him in that endless night, but Miao Yun felt that at least let him know his name, so she sat on him after killing him countless times and waited quietly for him to wake up, and then told him her name, the real name of her own without a surname.
No matter what, he is still doing everything he wants to do, Miao Yun comforted himself.
Dense footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, Miao Yun hurriedly sat up, and then she found that there was a thick book with a very dark cover on the small table in front of her, the book cover seemed to have been read by countless people for countless years, the four corners had been slightly upturned, and the side of the book had been slightly yellowed, and there were only three words on the book.
There was a new set of white underwear next to the book, these two things did not attract Miao Yun's attention for a moment, she pursed her lips and looked at the neatly stacked white belt on the table, which was the one she bit in her mouth last night for fear of making a noise.
Miao Yun, who was neatly dressed, opened the door, Luo Mu came out not long before her, and was talking to Banker, Luo Mu saw Miao Yun put his hand on his belt and walked out, with a casual expression on his face, and the worry in his heart finally disappeared.
After that, Luo Mu didn't even want to look at her again, but Miao Yun stepped forward straight, pinched Luo Mu's chin and turned his head to his side, Miao Yun raised his eyebrows in the direction where the group of people behind Luo Mu disappeared, and his voice was full of Manli's taste, "What did they do?"
Luo Mu was slightly stunned by her movements, and then hurriedly broke free from her hand, and took a slight step back and said, "They are going to pray in the morning" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the corridor, suddenly Luo Mu stopped and turned to look at the two, he glanced at Miao Yun and said, "They should have all been affected by that strange ritual last night, and they were reciting the book on the table all night last night, so they will know that they have to get up and pray in the morning this morning, so I advise the two of you to go back and turn over the doctrine too, don't show any horses, the most important thing" Luo Mu paused slightly when he said this, and his tone suddenly became gloomy, "The most important thing is not to involve me if you show your feet," After speaking, Luo Mu didn't look at the eyes of the two, turned his head and walked forward.
Miao Yun stood up straight as soon as Luo Mu's words fell, revealing a very exaggerated expression, put his hand on his forehead and saluted, and said loudly, "Yes! sir!" and then saw that Luo Mu had no intention of turning back, so he put his hands on both sides of his belt again, shook his body, and followed behind Luo Mu carelessly.
Bank hurriedly trotted a few steps and followed Miao Yun's side, with undisguised cowardice in his voice, "That... My name is Bank, Banker Raft, do I know your name?"
Miao Yun didn't even tilt his head to Bank's side a little, and his steps didn't slow down in the slightest, and his slightly pale lips spit out a word very quickly when he got up in the morning
"Roll"
The corridor in the building is intricate, Luo Mu can barely discern the direction by the footsteps of the crowd in front of him, and follows closely behind, the light in this corridor today is much brighter than yesterday, and there will be huge broken glass windows inlaid on the wall every ten meters, and the scene outside the window is also the same as Luo Mu's, full of ethereal clouds, Luo Mu doesn't know where he is, but it doesn't seem to be in his own world.
The ground and walls of the corridor are also gray stone like the outside of this building, but the ground is not as flat as yesterday, but is paved with slightly smaller bricks, and Luo Mu can even feel that each brick is engraved with very strange patterns from the soles of his flat shoes.
The wall on the other side of the corridor is still not decorated in the slightest, it is still an extremely long and brightly colored fresco, the mural of this corridor is obviously much richer than yesterday's episode, there are dragons falling from the sky like a giant mountain and spitting flames, there are incomparable giants in the deep sea that are not at their ankles wielding a giant hammer wrapped with thunder and lightning, and all the long scroll murals without exception there is a figure, that person is dressed in a gray robe, they may not be the same person, but they do have the same bones, the wings withered huge wings.
Luo Mu woke up this morning and read the teachings and knew his name, or theirs.
Lucifer.
Following the sound from the front of the very long corridor, Luo Mu turned a few corners, and suddenly opened up in front of him, this is a long and wide banquet restaurant, the roof of the corridor is not low, but it is a few points higher here, there are several luxuriously decorated chandeliers hanging on the roof of the banquet hall, and there are several stout pillars with gorgeous patterns on the left and right sides of the banquet hall, but the whole banquet hall still seems a little empty, only an extremely long table is placed in the center, and some people have sat on the table, all of them are wearing the same clothes as Luo Mu, no one speaks, and there is only the sound of flat shoes rubbing the ground in the entire banquet hall。
The long table was full of high-backed chairs, and after everyone sat down, Luo Mu probably counted about twenty people, but everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and every two people were automatically separated by a seat, and sat evenly on both sides of the table, so when Miao Yun sat next to Luo Mu and pulled the stool forward violently and made a loud sound, Luo Mu really hated God.
Obviously, I'm so miserable.
Banker also sat down next to Miao Yun, and there was a silver tray in front of each person, on which was placed a piece of cut bread and a small piece of cheese, and a translucent Locke cup was placed on the left, with a clear milky white liquid in the cup, and Luo Mu finally knew why the rest of the people sat down in their places so tacitly at this moment, because the breakfast had been placed, and there was a seat in the middle of each breakfast.
Luo Mu used a lot of strength to calm down, everyone breathed steadily, the entire banquet hall was so quiet that it seemed that the sound of dust falling in the air could even be heard, and suddenly, a crisp footsteps echoed, and the footsteps came from the front of the long table in the banquet hall, and a pair of black leather shoes with silver patterns came out.
The man had no hair on his head, his face was extremely pale, a pair of eyes that were much whiter than his pupils flashed with an inexplicable light, the thin lips under the hooked nose seemed to be stained with blood, revealing a very deep purple red, he was wearing a luxurious gray double-breasted tuxedo, he stood in front of the long table and glanced around, his eyes did not have any brilliance, but that gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything, Luo Mu hurriedly made a serious gesture like the others, the person's gaze stayed on Luo Mu and Miao Yun for a few seconds, and then he looked forward as if looking at everyone, and spoke"My name is Janus, and let me begin the morning prayers"-
After saying that, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and made a strange gesture with his hands, overlapping his hands, folding his thumbs and index fingers together to make a circle, and the rest of his fingers crossed and stretched forward, and everyone else bowed their heads and closed their eyes and made the same gesture like him, and prayed silently.
Luo Mu just made that gesture to close his eyes but found that Miao Yun secretly took the cup in front of him and fell to the ground carefully as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, Miao Yun looked at Luo Mu and looked at her in shock, she explained, "This thing must not be drunk, I used to be injected with this thing every day, it will become stupid!" After speaking, Miao Yun nodded to himself, and looked at Banker again, Banker felt her eyes open, and Miao Yun hurriedly commanded, "Hurry up, you also poured"
Banker didn't understand a little, but still nodded "oh"
Seeing that Banker was about to pick up the cup and pour it out, Luo Mu finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Miao Yun's arm, and lowered his voice tightly, "You're enough! That's a glass of milk!"
