Florida is located at the southernmost tip of the east coast of Country M. It is a protruding peninsula and is also the state with the second longest coastline of Country M. Dong Xie has always wanted to travel to Florida many years ago and took his lover to Disneyland.
.
That period was when Wilvin faked his death and Isabella finally agreed to her marriage.
At that time, as the adopted son of the Gominik family, he temporarily took over the family, but he knew very well that he was not popular in the family at all, and he could not command anyone below him. As a Chinese, living in a white society, this
That is to say, it is very difficult. You cannot integrate if you can speak English. You even have to completely change your own thoughts. But Dong Xie remembers his parents’ admonitions since he was a child. Even if he lives in country M, he is still a person from country Z (of course now
Knowing that I am still a quarter of R country ancestry).
That day, Dong Xie and Isabella stayed late at Disneyland. Originally, that night, he hoped that when he returned to the hotel, he and Isabella could do some exercises that only two people could do, but...
"Scopeen." Isabella always calls Dong Xie by her English name, "If you take charge of the Gominik family, I hope you can drive away all the demon messengers and leave no one behind."
"What?"
Under the beautiful fairy tale castle, Dong Xie wanted to take advantage of the beautiful atmosphere to kiss Isabella, but instead she said these creepy words.
He was different from Wilvin. Even if there was something about the priest first, he did not want to drive out all the demon messengers and leave no one behind.
After all, those people are actually poor people, and they don't know that the price of taking exams is selling themselves to the devil. Taking exams again and again, they will be chased by evil spirits.
In the final analysis, he just stood in the position of the adopted son of the Gominik family and assisted Wilvin in hunting down the demon messenger.
"I hope you can inherit Wilvin's will, so... I miss his spirit in heaven..."
"Why must we kill all the demon messengers?"
That was one of the few times Dong Xie asked Isabella this question.
"This is the word passed down by the ancestors. The devil's messenger must die," Isabella was extremely firm when she said this: "I was born for this, and even if I die, I will respect it."
According to the will of God, all the demons who blaspheme God will be killed without leaving a single one alive. Since they have chosen the camp of the demons, they can only obtain salvation by dying."
…
"Is this why we want to kill all the candidates?"
Dong Xie felt that his world view had collapsed.
In fact, before Dong Xie became a candidate, he had a very ambivalent attitude towards candidates. Those people were originally living people, and they had to go through this kind of examination in order to pursue eternal life. He believed that this should not be the reason for them to be killed.
.However, after a series of embarrassing actions by Wilvin, he developed a strong rebellious mentality and would rather stand in the camp of the devil messenger and become the enemy of Wilvin.
For Dong Xie, love and hate are both extremes, and there is never a gray middle ground in his feelings.
Because of his hatred of Wilvin, he became the demon messenger that Wilvin hated and feared the most.
Because he hated Isabella for breaking her promise, he was willing to do anything to protect Meng Qindong who kept her promise.
The more he moves towards immortality as a candidate, the better he treats Meng Qindong, the more he treats Vervin, who has always despised him and even sent his uncle to prison in revenge, and Isabella, who has betrayed her original promise.
.
He deliberately uses the opposite extreme method to repay other people's love and hate for him, or his own love and hate for others. This kind of character is bound to cause huge social barriers, and if he is not careful, he can easily fall into the inner demon and become a demon.
.In the real society, people pursue moderation more, and love and hate often serve pros and cons rather than right and wrong.
Now, both Wilvin and Isabella are dead. The meaning of him becoming a demon messenger is only to obtain eternal life.
He glanced at the doll in his hand, and Yun Yu's words reminded him of an important thing. The number of places in the final exam is limited. This means that in the near future, he may also compete with Gao Ying.
He is actually a seed...candidate?
This also means that as long as he can survive to the final exam, he will have a higher probability of becoming a demon host and gaining immortal life.
At this moment, Dong Xie had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
To Isabella, he has no value or meaning. But that’s all. Even if Wilvin sends his uncle to prison, even if he sacrifices his time reward to save Wilvin, it’s for her.
He said that he was nothing after all. Wilvin and she could become demon messengers in order to survive, but for him to become a demon messenger was an unforgivable crime. They were completely different standards.
When he wanted to become a candidate, what was he thinking about? Was he hoping for immortal life, or was he hoping to defeat Wilvin so that when Wilvin became an old man in the future, he could still be an old man?
A young man in his prime.
In fact... he does not desire immortal life to this extent. After all... the price is too huge, and the possibility of premature death is even higher.
It wasn't until... when he killed Wilvin and Isabella with his own hands that he felt a huge emptiness. His hatred could no longer be released, so much so that he almost became a real demon under the guidance of his inner demons.
.
"Dong, Dong Xie, what are you thinking about?" Meng Qindong looked at Dong Xie and asked, "Did you think of anything?"
Dong Xie looked at Meng Qindong, and he suddenly understood.
He has never really been himself.
All this time, he had never truly longed for eternal life.
All he wants is to "be loved".
This matter is far more important to him than eternal life.
It was precisely because of his desire to be loved that he did not take the path of total darkness. But while he longed to be loved, he always loved himself more than others.
Life is really... so contradictory.
Suddenly, he started a "private chat" with Meng Qindong.
That's right, this is a kind of private chat in the mind that only he and Meng Qindong can communicate with each other.
"If you can survive this exam...Qindong, I will take you to the Disney Theme Park in Florida."
Meng Qindong thought he had something important to say, but he didn't expect it to be like this?
Look back carefully...
Dong Xie discovered that he had never loved others more than himself.
But... to love someone, do you have to love the other person more than yourself?
Is true love only through comparison? Is love something that can be quantified?
Love can also love someone as much as you love yourself!
And now, he finally understood what the original sin of being a candidate was. But it was no longer possible for him to regret it.
He has always loved himself more than others. So even if he becomes the host of a demon, he won't mind as long as he can survive.
He has gone too far on this road.
He can't go back.
So……
He just had to move on.
Then, he picked up Gao Ying's doll that he was holding tightly in his hand.
"So, does Yunyu, the demon seed host, have any advantages?"
Yun Yu nodded: "There will definitely be advantages. But the host demon primarch will never interfere with the exam."
"Even if this seed candidate is killed by other candidates, there will be no revenge?"
"No. Being killed means that you are not qualified to become a host."
At this time, looking at Gao Ying's doll in front of him, Dong Xie was struggling in his heart.
Gao Ying gradually felt something was wrong. Why was Dong Xie looking at him like this?
Dong Xie is thinking about a question.
Does he really want Gao Ying to live forever?
Now that Gao Ying has turned into a doll, Dong Xie has at least a hundred ways to kill him.
It is impossible for Dong Xie to go back. The road ahead of him is either death or becoming a demon host and immortalizing himself.
"Qindong, can you love me as much as you love yourself?"
Dong Xie's words suddenly appeared in Meng Qindong's mind.
She was stunned, why did she ask this now?
"I want to win the final exam spot with you and gain eternal life. I hope to love you as much as I love myself."
"What's wrong with you? Dong..."
"You don't need to sacrifice anything for me, and I won't sacrifice myself for you. But at least without sacrificing ourselves, can we trust each other and support each other until the end?"
Meng Qindong was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied in his mind.
"I can!"
Dong Xie nodded.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, at least he believed it.
He no longer hesitated and grabbed the doll Gao Ying's hand...
He clenched tighter.
He wants to be a completely different person than Wilvin.
The demon messenger he wants to kill at all costs is not his life!
