In a daze, Verdis seemed to hear something and slowly opened his eyes.
It was the study room of the Teller family, and a vague figure was sitting in front of Verdis. Under the black and white candlelight, his face could not be seen clearly.
But based on the voice, Verdis could clearly tell that it was Telel's father Enge
"Terrell, I'm sorry for what happened in the past. I'm sorry, my child."
It was a tone of repentance, repenting for the silent harm to Teller in the past, and Verdis knew the misunderstanding and difficulties between them, and comforted him with a wry smile
"Father, I have worked hard for you all this time, and I don't blame you."
But I don’t know if it was because the words were too pale or because Verdis’s interpretation was too boring. Engel was not shaken by his words. Instead, he felt helpless and resentful. He gritted his teeth slightly and raised his head to stare at Weldis in front of him.
Dis.
At this moment, Verdis saw Engel clearly in front of him. They were a pair of empty eyes, pupils that had been washed away by tears, and a face that was haggard in grief, and the scars on his face had become extremely humble.
The honor that no longer belonged to him became a weak deterrent, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly and he said coldly
"You are not qualified to say such things for my child. It was you who killed him!!!!"
Engel's words instantly poured into Verdis's mind. Those cold words caused his brain to become increasingly confused. Countless memories began to appear in random order, as if he was looking for answers to support Engel's words, until Verdis recalled his thoughts.
Reminds me of what I once said
"Well, cats don't live long just like me. Thank you for staying with me for so long. It's okay. Let's go find it together."
As if it was an inducement, Verdis fell into doubt. Was it really him who gave Teller the last push when he was in his most difficult moment and when he needed help the most??
His brain kept searching for other clues to negate the current conclusion, but could find nothing. It was as if those memories were hidden or did not exist from the beginning.
But Verdes still kept denying this conclusion. It was not that he wanted to escape but that he wanted to seek the truth. He felt a sense of violation but could never find the problem.
He kept doubting and struggling until a pair of hands gently patted his shoulder.
With confusion and guilt, Verdis turned back helplessly.
In an empty classroom, there was a person beside him whose face could not be seen clearly, and a "rabble" gently patted his shoulder with his hand, sharing his joy with a smile
"A madman should suffer the fate of a madman, right, Verdes."
But these brief words awakened the scene in Verdis's memory. He turned around and looked at the intersection of light and shadow on the classroom podium, only to see Iser, who had been penetrated by Reagan's punch, looking at him with a mocking smile.
In the direction of Verdes.
The space also froze for a moment as they stared at each other. Iser slowly pulled out Reagan's hand, and walked step by step towards the direction of Verdis with gray blood all over his body, until he stood in front of him, with a playful look.
Laughing, he gently patted Verdes on the shoulder with his red hands
"Don't worry, people are hypocritical. I knew from the beginning that you were just pursuing human nature."
There were obviously no complaints or curses, but the words spoken at this moment were a thousand times more painful than those harsh words. Those were the words Verdis once said to those hypocrites, but now he has become that hypocrite.
Maybe those feelings of disobedience just now are just the same excuses to escape??
His heartbeat kept accelerating, and he kept his head lowered, not daring to look into Isel's eyes, until he passed him by, until there was a sound of falling behind him.
Verdis could no longer bear it anymore and quickly turned around to say something, but the scene around him changed like flowing water as he looked back, leaving him no chance.
Instead, Wendy was being held by several orderers and fell into a pool of black blood. Her eyes had lost the tenacity and only hatred remained, staring in the direction of Verdis.
An orderer came over to support Verdis' body and asked about the situation in his ear, but he couldn't hear anything and just looked at Wendy in front of him.
Seeing Wendy's sudden resistance, dark black lightning penetrated all the orderers around her, followed by a flash of lightning and came to Verdes's side, raised her hand and directly strangled the ones beside him to death.
The orderer then looked at Verdes fiercely
"You don't deserve to live for him."
As he spoke, a bolt of electric light came through the hall, and black and white blood splashed out. Verdes looked at the blood and dark flowing light in front of his eyes. He lost control of his body, his vision swayed, and he slowly fell down, falling into the depths.
In the sky, there is no end.
And in his heart, he gave up the struggle unconsciously, letting his body continue to fall, the blood continued to flow, and his heartbeat continued to slow down, wanting to just sleep like this.
Until a familiar light slightly illuminated the empty darkness and floated in front of Verdis's tightly closed eyes. Little Hill's figure slowly emerged, and once again gently pressed his forehead against Verdis's eyes.
On Si’s forehead.
An inexplicable warmth flowed into Verdis's heart, and countless memories poured into his out-of-control brain at this moment. He recalled everything that was denied by his inner doubts.
Teller's helpless farewell at first in the fog of mystery, Engel's expectations and instructions in the sea of flowers, Wendy's choking when they first met in the academy, Wilson's silent trust in the forbidden room, Hill's gratitude in the soul space and Isaiah
Your stubborn response in the training venue!!
Everything in the past was like a pair of invisible and gentle hands supporting the falling Verdis, stabilizing his figure and shattering the constant self-doubt in his heart.
And the originally pitch-black space is constantly filled with white cracks, and beams of dawn are passing through the cracks to disperse the black and white space.
Verdis also slowly opened his eyes as the light bloomed, and saw the girl in front of him with slightly childish eyes, the girl who woke him up again, and said softly
"Thank you, Xiao Hill."
Hill looked tiredly at Verdes who woke up, and breathed a sigh of relief, but silently closed his eyes and fell asleep without saying anything.
She knew that it was not actually she who woke up Verdis, but Verdis himself who woke her up. She was just helping Verdis remember everything in the past.
As Verdis woke up completely, a ray of dawn suddenly penetrated the crack, directly tearing open the dark space. Countless light points fell like stars, dyeing the gray space with beautiful colors, and countless memories.
The picture gradually returned to wandering in space as before.
Verdis looked at the scenery in front of him, waiting to truly wake up.
But I accidentally saw the sea of flowers that Engel walked through again, and recalled the true language of flowers that Engel said.
"They use transparent petals to protect the grass beneath them, but they also bathe in the sun with them, just like the real sky, selfless and great. So the chosen ones gave it another flower language-----undetectable
Warmth."
Verdis smiled, laughing at himself for being so late in realizing it, and talking softly to himself
"Undetectable tenderness."
At this moment, the judgment array was completely swallowed up by the light of dawn, and the flames of the judgment array were completely extinguished.
Verdis slowly opened his eyes on the cold iron chair.
