The only piece of information Agnes said that could be said to be valuable is...the Devil's Exam can indeed lead mortals to eternal life.
"After the end of World War II, Germany was occupied and divided by the United States, the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and France, and then the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union divided Germany into East Germany and West Germany. The few remaining members of our family lived in Berlin before the occupation
, chose to defect to the former Soviet Union in exchange for asylum. Part of our family was able to survive in East Berlin occupied by the former Soviet Union, but my grandmother was in West Berlin occupied by the United States!"
Although this period of history happened before Agnes was born, when she mentioned this period of history, she was still full of resentment towards Americans. But for Gao Ying, Germany launched a world war and brutally massacred 6 million Jews.
The crimes are too numerous to describe, and it is only natural that he should end up like this.
"The grandmother you are talking about..." Gao Ying was most concerned about this question at this time: "What's the name?"
As soon as "grandmother" was mentioned, Agnes showed an expression of pride on her face: "How could I forget my grandmother's name? Her name is Lilith Epnesia Gerzwaren
!”
Lilith!
This is indeed the name of Gao Ying's grandmother, but her surname is not Gerzwaren, but Lilith Müller. Müller is the most common surname in Germany. At that time, Berlin experienced the baptism of war.
Countless civilians died in Allied artillery fire, and my grandmother was a German civilian whose parents died in the war. In 1950, because the relationship between China and the Soviet Union was still relatively good at the time, the newly established republic and the Soviet-occupied East Germany (democracy)
After the establishment of diplomatic relations with Germany, Gao Ying's grandfather, a diplomat, met his grandmother.
"Are our grandmothers... the same person?" Gao Ying still found it strange at this time: "My grandmother's name is Lilith Mueller..."
"In that case, my grandmother must have arrived in your world." Agnes was not surprised by this: "Falled in American-occupied West Berlin, my grandmother did not have much hope. After all, the family members at that time
They basically defected to the former Soviet Union. So she finally came to your world."
"I don't understand..." Gao Ying was still at a loss, "How did she come to our world?"
"I don't know either. But what is certain is that the original origin of the Devil's Examination should be because my grandmother went to your world. I know very little about my grandmother. She and the family's senior officials actually jointly committed suicide.
We don’t know what we did. But based on some information left by my grandmother, we are convinced that the Devil’s Exam is the road to eternal life, and all we have to do is ‘wait’.”
wait?
wait for what?
Gao Ying was quite uneasy at this time. He began to realize why his grandmother named him "Shadow". This is exactly the meaning of "Shadow" in the "Black Shadow Sect"! His grandmother knew before she died that in the future her grandson would
You will definitely become a candidate for this devilish exam!
What did her grandmother, who was a witch, do to allow this devilish exam to be born? Gao Ying suddenly thought of something, why didn't his father become a candidate? He was also a member of the Gerzwaren family! Although his father was young back then
At that time, I was unable to take the college entrance examination because of the crazy ten years of turmoil. However, in the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, in 1977, the age for some students with top grades could be relaxed to 0 years old, and my father met the conditions.
He immediately went to participate and was admitted to Fudan University that year. Could it be that... his father actually had the same experience as himself back then, but he had no interest in the so-called eternal life? But if so, how did he do in the Chinese language exam that year?
Passed? After all, the essay topic has been replaced.
It is impossible for Gao Ying to get the answer to this question unless he sees his father again. However, what is more important to Gao Ying now...is to survive. The blood of the Gerzwaren family is very important to him in his future.
There seemed to be no preferential treatment in the exam. Although Agnes was extremely arrogant and always deliberately emphasized her "nobility", judging from her various special characteristics, she should be a really special person.
According to Dong Xie, the origin of the Devil's Exam that can be verified was after the end of World War II, which roughly coincides with the time when his grandfather first met his grandmother. Could it be that it was something his grandmother did?
Leading to the birth of the Devil's Exam? The thought of this made Gao Ying feel horrified.
This kind of thing...is it really possible?
Originally, after entering here, Gao Ying had already felt that his world view had collapsed to the limit, but now, he felt an even stronger fear. The Black Shadow Sect, the Gerzwaren Family, and the Devil's Exam... what is behind this?
Intricate connections?
"Gugu——"
At this time, Gao Ying suddenly felt that his stomach was growling.
Frankly speaking, this is really embarrassing. But there is no way. After such a long time, Gao Ying didn't eat anything, and he couldn't even take a sip of water. Therefore, it is normal to be hungry at this time.
Although Gao Ying was embarrassed, Dong Xie's situation was not much better. He was still a little hungry. Agnes looked behind and said, "Are you hungry? Well, there is a storage inside."
It’s a small food warehouse, let’s go there to have something to eat first.”
"Yeah." Gao Ying was also too hungry at this time. Under normal circumstances, it would have been his time to have breakfast.
The three of them just walked forward. Now, Gao Ying just wanted to fill his stomach first and then think about these things. He already felt extremely confused. He thought that his life would turn out like this.
.Before he entered here, the world was full of beauty in his eyes, but now it seems that human cruelty is far more terrifying than evil spirits! He now... really understands this deeply. If, really
It was my grandmother who created the existence of this devil's exam with her own hands. So, what a serious sin it was! What's more, the Gerzwaren family even joined forces with the evil-ridden German Third Reich, which shows how much blood was stained on their hands.
Although it is said to be a warehouse, it is actually quite small. Fortunately, a lot of food is stored inside.
"This is canned tuna from Alaska..." Dong Xie looked at the food on the warehouse and showed joy: "Finally, you don't have to worry about what you eat."
But at this moment, Agnes snatched the can from his hand.
"Before eating, I have some questions to ask you."
Agnes's aggressive eyes, coupled with her gloomy eyes, are really scary.
However, Dong Xie was not afraid. He picked up the examination paper and put it in front of him and said, "Do you see clearly? Now I am a candidate."
"I know. That's why I let you live until now."
Although Agnes' hatred for Dong Xie is not as much as that of Wilvin Gominik and Isabella Crisfield, Dong Xie is also a lackey and accomplice of the Gominik family in her eyes.
.
"What I want to know is, you were clearly a member of the Gominik family before, why are you... now a candidate?"
Why?
Dong Xie looked at Agnes' questioning look. He indeed had many reasons to say, but for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
"No matter what my reason is, from the moment I get this exam paper... I am in the same camp as you, right? The reason... is it important?"
He was right. There is no way to deal with this kind of thing. Being a candidate means being a "devil's messenger" in the eyes of the Gominik family.
However, even so, Agnes hated the Gominik family deeply. Even if Dong Xie was just an adopted child of the Gominik family, she still couldn't help but be filled with hatred. She just thought that it would be best for him to die here.
During the exam.
However, compared to him... what Agnes is more concerned about now is Gao Ying.
My grandmother's life and death have been unknown for many years, and the family declined rapidly after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, and they could only move to Africa to carry out activities.
For the family, her birth was the greatest hope after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Because her father was an Abyss-level candidate! (To be continued)
