Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 23 Cloud Mud
Lucifer was once the brightest angel in the temple, and the god-king stood on a high altar more than once, looking down on all beings, and said to thousands of angels with white wings, "Lucifer alone is worthy to share this power and glory with me."
However, as a symbol of the morning star, he has never been willing to be in this temple that floats brightly above all beings, he has never thought that standing on the altar of God and compassion for the world is the unparalleled mercy in the world, he is willing to fall, and he believes that only a unique death is the only way to liberate the world.
He was disgusted with the god-king's never-ending rule, and he was disgusted with the god-king's contempt for everything.
He stood before the god-king, behind him his followers in the temple, he broke his wings with his own hands, his cloud-white robe seemed to be stained with endless filth and turned black, he was willing to fall, he was the first to leap down from the clouds, he was incarnated into a proud seven red dragons, behind him were countless angels who followed him in the temple and jumped down with him, as if the stars were hanging at his tail.
He fell for seven days and seven nights, like a thunderbolt that penetrated the heavens and the earth, and with the sneer of the God King, he fell into the hell of hell, and he was like the dawn star that brought light to the endless darkness.
He stood with his head up, all the light of his past was gone, but now he looked up at everything without discouragement, his eyes could see that the Heavenly Gods were indifferent, and he sang loudly without fear.
What a depravity we have to lose? We have fallen from that happy land of light into this endless abyss, the supreme power of the mighty, the endless fury of the victors does not allow us to change our original intentions, what have we lost? We are not left with nothing, we still have a firm will, a fervent desire for revenge, an undying hatred, and the courage to never give in, never give in, and we still have that unwavering faith, and we still have that unwavering faith, and we still have that pride. ”
"We can sit firmly here,
We want to reign in hell
A grand plan, make contributions,
Instead of being a slave in heaven,
It is better to reign in hell.
But why do we let our faithful friends,
A partner in affliction,
Frightened and dormant in the vast pool of forgetfulness?
Why don't we wake them up,
Gather them together,
How about sharing in this unfortunate place?"
He looked around and shouted, "I want this hell to become heaven, I want that heaven to become hell, I want this world to have a supreme death!"
- "The Book of Forgotten Lives - The Final Volume"
Luo Mu slowly closed the doctrine in his hand, but his heart could not be calmed for a long time, he stroked the slightly rough front page of the doctrine, what is good and what is evil? Is it really as this doctrine says, only death is the only way to liberation?
Today has been a full week since the first morning prayer, in this week, Luo Mu and the others' only task is to learn the teachings of Ignaiz, and the lecturer is Janus, who leads them in the daily morning prayer, Janus's narration is full of unparalleled demagogy, in this week, Luo Mu has clearly felt countless times that he is about to sink into that crazy faith, and the bell in his head pulls him back to reality and sobriety again and again, he knows that every time the alertness in his head comes from Quinn, but Quinn has never talked about Ignitz, Quinn will sit in the room every night after the evening prayer and wait quietly for Luo Mu to come back, and then absorb the endless darkness of this space with him, and experience death together.
However, in just one week, Luo Mu could clearly feel that he was getting stronger and stronger, and the dark matter seemed to be improving Luo Mu's body all the time, Luo Mu asked Quinn very curiously, could it be that the only thing that can be enhanced by cultivating the dark matter is the physique? Quinn shook his head, but did not explain anything to Luo Mu, just said, the time has not yet come.
Luo Mu sat at the table, he could feel that there was a seed of faith in his heart slowly sprouting, he tried his best to contain this feeling, but he couldn't resist it spreading in his mind, and at this moment there was a sudden knock on the door.
Luo Mu put the teachings on the table, got up and opened the door, Miao Yun was standing at the door, his eyes were scattered, Luo Mu knew very well that this was the effect of the daily teaching, everyone would be the same as Miao Yun under the teaching of Yanus for a day, and other people who had long believed in Ignaiz were immersed in the fanatical belief at the moment and could not extricate themselves, and would not have struggled like Miao Yun, Luo Mu even believed that if anyone asked them to give their lives in the name of Lucifer now, they would never hesitate.
But Miao Yun knew what she wanted, so she would knock on the door of Luo Mu's room every night, and then, like the first night, she would use the violent electrical stimulation to make herself unconscious, and then she really woke up.
Miao Yun relied on his strong consciousness to resist the non-stop voice in his head all the time It was already quite difficult, the voice in his brain became stronger and stronger with the teaching day by day, until today when Luo Mu came out, Miao Yun couldn't even make more movements, the wire hanging behind her was jumping with a bright arc, she didn't hesitate to touch it, after a violent tremor Miao Yun slowly sat on the ground against the wall, but today she didn't faint, Miao Yun's eyes had regained clarity, she gasped slightly, and said with some difficulty" Can you help me tomorrow, I don't want to sit on the ground."
Luo Mu didn't have the slightest expression on his face, he squatted down and tidied up his clothes for Miao Yun, and then he looked at Miao Yun, who could only squint his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, he felt that his head was empty, he knew that he knew this girl, she would fall here weakly every night like today, but he just couldn't remember her name.
Luo Mu looked at Miao Yun's eyes steadily, frowning tightly to suppress the extremely uncomfortable feeling in his mind, but he still asked the sentence, "What's your name?"
Miao Yun's eyes widened suddenly, and grabbed Luo Mu's collar, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, she looked at Luo Mu for a while, and then slowly closed her eyes, she fell asleep, but her hand was still holding Luo Mu's collar, Luo Mu didn't dare to break it hard, so she had to pick up Miao Yun and put her back on the bed in her room.
Miao Yun was lying on the bed, still not letting go of her hand, she whispered, "My name is Yun, my name is Yun, garbage, how can you forget"
Luo Mu pulled the quilt over Miao Yun's body, and then looked at Miao Yun's sleeping face and called out with some hesitation, "Yun?"
Miao Yun seemed to hear it, showing a slightly bitter expression, and then let go of the hand holding Luo Mu's collar, Luo Mu straightened up and glanced at Miao Yun again, and walked out of Miao Yun's room expressionlessly.
Today is the seventh day.
Seven days ago was the day when Luo Mu woke up in that endless darkness, and it was also the day when Miao Yun sat on Luo Mu and told him his name, but Luo Mu couldn't remember it at all, he knew that he only had the memory of seven days, and he could clearly feel that the memory of seven days ago began to slowly blur, so although he couldn't remember, he knew why all this was.
Quinn sat on the chair as usual and waited for him, Luo Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, just closed his eyes, but opened them to look at Quinn and asked, "Is she serious to me?"
Quinn glanced at Luo Mu, shook his head and said, "It's not important."
Luo Mu nodded, Quinn waved his hand gently, and the six huge black mist that seemed to be galaxies rose from the six corners of the six-pointed star and converged on Luo Mu's body, Luo Mu's face flashed a painful expression, and then returned to calm, death at this moment is just a violent pain for Luo Mu, endless despair, and these two, he has long been used to.
Luo Mu woke up on time the next morning, he was used to not sleeping every night and immersed in this kind of death meditation, although this meditation would bring great pain, but it would not affect his rest, but his body would be a little tired.
Luo Mu jumped out of bed and moved his sore body, yesterday was the last day of teaching, I don't know what I will do today, Luo Mu tidied up his clothes, and as soon as he opened the door, a delicate face appeared in front of him, and that face was so far away that Luo Mu almost hit his head.
Luo Mu was startled, hurriedly took a step back, frowned and didn't speak, Miao Yun stood up straight, showed an extremely bright smile and said, "Hello, my name is Yun"
Luo Mu didn't speak, pushed Miao Yun away slightly with his hand, and walked out from the side, Bank was waiting for Luo Mu not far away, Luo Mu nodded at Bank, and took the lead in walking forward, Bank glanced back at Miao Yun, Miao Yun was motionless, still standing at Luo Mu's door in the posture just now, Bank shook his head, turned around and followed behind Luo Mu.
It's still the same morning prayer and breakfast, everyone eats quietly and silently, and today it's a little strange that Miao Yun didn't sit next to Luo Mu, but a place away from Bank, sitting on the left side of Bank, after breakfast, Janus was already standing in front of the long table, he saw that everyone had raised their heads to look at him and said, "Yesterday, I think you have understood your faith, then today is the day of your divine revelation, Lucifer loves each of us, and today he will give you supreme power!"
As soon as Janus finished speaking, everyone stood up in unison, made a symbol of Ignaiz with both hands, and shouted "Lucifer!"
Luo Mu also stood up generally, but he didn't spit out that syllable, that syllable seemed to have magic, every time he shouted, his inner faith would break through the ground, Miao Yun and Banker also stood up, Miao Yun was just lip provoking like Luo Mu, but Banker was shouting loudly like others.
Luo Mu couldn't see through Bank, this week Luo Mu observed, only the three of them were not affected by Igniz's faith, but Luo Mu and Miao Yun both paid a very big price, but Bank never had anything unusual, as if this faith was like child's play in front of him, his eyes were full of cowardice, but Luo Mu could always see something different.
That look is called desolation.
