Shouldn’t childhood memories bring a sweet taste?
The carefree running, the crying that insists on buying something, the expectation of leaning against the wall to measure your height.
What if... childhood memories bring only horror, fear, sadness and anger.
Then it may be an extremely lucky thing that it is left in a corner of the subconscious.
At this moment, Gu Jun looked at the mysterious scene of this illusion, and some scattered memory fragments poured out from the dusty corner, like a long-lost nightmare that once again invaded the dream, disturbing the dreamer's false peace.
.
He saw himself when he was very young, when he was still babbling and toddling.
At that time, he was already undergoing some weird and inexplicable training. There were other children around him, and he and everyone were looking at the pictures, which were all kinds of weird-shaped trees and dense vines.
, twisted branches, numerous dead leaves...
These pictures planted unknown seeds into their young and blank minds.
What finally grows from that seed...is it a dark fruit?
As they grow older, they can walk, run, talk, and think...
Gu Jun suddenly found that the surroundings had become empty, and he was the only one standing there, among all kinds of strange trees. He had forgotten the faces of other children and could not remember them. It seemed that after the separation, everyone was reunited.
Haven't met either.
He is special.
Many people's eyes told him this, with joy, expectation, and curiosity.
There is always a kind of fanaticism in his eyes, like looking at an amazing treasure, just like his mother's fanaticism.
Is that woman really his mother? Gu Jun had such doubts for the first time, but it was just doubts. Because of the woman's gentleness when she told him stories to coax him to sleep, her smile when she fed him, and her expression when she saw him fall.
The fear... was all real, it was his mother's feelings. He was convinced.
But as a mother, how could she treat her children like this?
This same woman asked him to scribble the names of the drawings on the paper and write all the variations.
It was this woman who put on him the crown made of banyan tree leaves and fibrous roots. "Xiaojun, just sit there and don't move." She said, with some tension and complexity in her voice. She was hesitating.
, or sad?
But obviously, the enthusiasm prevailed in the end, just like a great experiment is about to usher in great results...
She couldn't give up on this result.
The experiment started when the mother was pregnant, and Gu Jun felt that those hazy prenatal education music and whispers were also looming in the depths of implicit memory.
He is the experimental subject of the afterlife society, and he has been like this since before he came to this world.
But the question is, what kind of creature is he?
The image of the illusion was shaking unsteadily, like vague cracks spreading, but Gu Jun could still see the scene.
The cold sound made the dark sky seem to collapse. The men in black and red were still kneeling to the banyan tree, and did not dare to raise their heads to even look at the banyan tree hole in front of them. It seemed that they could even take a look.
, terrible things will happen.
Just like Orpheus went through all the hardships to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice. Pluto told them not to look back when they left, but before returning to the gate of the world, Orpheus couldn't help but look back at his wife.
One glance left his wife in hell forever.
Another example is when Abraham and his wife were fleeing Sodom, which was destroyed by the gods. Abraham's wife looked back and instantly turned into a pillar of salt.
You cannot see what God has not asked you to see.
Mortals must not tempt God.
"Son of Doom, it's as you said." The man in red kneeling at the front said in an extremely humble voice. The muddy and rotten land exuded a stench, but that ugly face seemed to be against the most dangerous thing.
The most fragrant heavenly place.
"We are a group of filthy, ignorant, despicable worms, abandoned believers of the so-called 'Goddess of Life'..."
Every one of the people who knelt down made a sound of hatred that was caused by gnashing of teeth, like the hoarse whimpering of a terminal beast.
The goddess of life? Gu Jun once read it in the diary of Ribudi Payani. This is the god revered by that foreign civilization.
Abandoned believers... Are these members of the Afterlife Society speaking as aliens?
Do you think you are the afterlife of a foreigner?
"The old world has been destroyed. We were born in this world, but we lost our power. Our power is our words, but now we can't even recognize a word." The man in red whispered.
, the body was trembling a little: "But we still remember the promise given to us by the true God..."
Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. As expected, the afterlife didn't know about the existence of those different drawings, and his parents hid them secretly.
No matter what it is, my parents have different plans for the next life... maybe, maybe...
"Inferior life." The child in the banyan tree hole made a strange and emotionless voice: "Inferior wish."
Receiving this only contemptuous response, everyone trembled in confusion, and the man in red's voice also became deeper: "Is it because this body does not satisfy you? So he cannot accept the power that belongs to us? Is it necessary...
Make him a blood sacrifice?"
The child did not speak, but the silence may also be a response. The man in red murmured: "This child is a sacrifice, the beginning of doom..."
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice..." The other men in black and red clothes all muttered together.
At this moment, Gu Jun felt that he had a splitting headache and everything was in a distorted state, but he also felt that there was a fire burning in his heart...
All the complicated emotions gathered together and surged out.
Suddenly, he shouted
Is the past all true?
Why does the double-slit experiment of quantum mechanics show that the future can change the past?
As he yelled, the dark sky finally collapsed, thunder rumbled, and torrential rain rushed down to the earth. The voice of the child in the banyan tree hole became more wild and distorted, as if there were two voices tangled together, which was heart-breaking.
Crazy and trembling.
"This child is the chosen one." The child said solemnly, "I won't allow you and other lowly animals to do anything to him."
The men in black and red trembled slightly, but still did not dare to look up.
They also didn't see that the child's eyes had some brightness, like a flame burning in the dark abyss.
"This child will grow up and become a real man. You must not disturb him, do not offend him, and let him forget all this. But one day in the future, this child will stand in front of you again."
The child in the banyan tree cave spoke in a distorted and natural way. This conversation will be the same in the past, present and future, with no more words and no less words.
"At that time, all debts will be settled. This is my oath to you."
Gu Jun was also talking, word for word, and the last sentence was spoken in his heart: When the time comes, it will be the end of you.
The entire huge banyan tree was swaying in the storm, making a rustling and hoarse sound.
And those believers kneeling on the ground made indescribable fanatic voices and promised the oath given by the gods.
