At night, somewhere in Great Britain, in Vivian's research institute.
In a highly secretive basement, in a glass container filled with a special life-sustaining liquid, a boy turned into stone is still sleeping quietly.
Daniel is teetering on the edge of life and death.
Although the medicine given by Merlin to remove petrification is effective, its effectiveness is actually extremely weak and varies from person to person. It may not be able to save all petrified people. Even if it is effective, the process of removing petrification is extremely slow.
The medicinal power is inside the stone statue, accumulating bit by bit and acting subtly.
And those who become stone statues--except for those who are completely dead and have lost their self-awareness--will struggle in endless nightmares until they truly die or are lifted from petrification.
Until you come back alive.
However, Daniel's situation is a little special.
In the darkness, the young man walked alone.
Surrounded by darkness, only a few scattered lights in the distance guided him forward.
The boy was walking in the darkness in confusion. He didn't even know why he was moving forward, and he didn't know what was at the end of the white light. He was just moving forward. There was no purpose, no meaning, and no hope.
"Daniel." I don't know how long I walked before someone's voice sounded in the darkness.
The young man didn't answer and just continued walking.
"Daniel!" the voice repeated: "Wake up!"
"Um?"
The young man suddenly woke up and found himself sitting on a rock in a grassy field.
The spring light was bright, and the river in front of him was shining with sparkling waves as it kept flowing. It was the shadow of the sun that broke into countless pieces and reflected in his eyes.
"Daniel." A middle-aged man next to him laughed and said, "What are you doing in your daze? The fish are about to run away."
"Oh------" Only then did the boy feel the fishing rod in his hand twitching. Apparently a fish had already taken the bait. He quickly pulled the fishing line to retract the hook, hoping to catch the fish that was about to escape the hook.
.However, his reaction was still half a beat too slow, and the fish had completely broken free of the hook and fled away.
"Hey, let it run away." The young man sighed.
"It doesn't matter," his father said with a smile, glancing at the empty bucket aside: "We have plenty of time, and we can catch more fish. Tonight is a feast for salmon!"
"Dad, but it's almost evening now." The young man muttered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, there will always be fish to catch, there will always be some." The father said optimistically, then he snickered and came over to the boy and said, "If we can't catch any fish, we can buy some at the market when we go back."
Go back, but don’t let your mother know about this, okay?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "I will take this secret with me to my grave."
However, just as the boy and his father were enjoying this leisurely holiday, his father's walkie-talkie rang.
"What?...Well, okay, I'll go right away."
"Daniel," the father put away the walkie-talkie and looked at his son with an innocent face: "There is an urgent order from the Knights. I think I have to go."
"But you promised me that you would stay with me tonight to celebrate my ancestor's birthday!" The boy at that time was still young and ignorant, and only knew how to make a fuss: "It happens like this every year. Dad is a big liar, and he doesn't keep his word!"
The middle-aged knight's face showed confusion: "Don't do this, I promise------"
"Don't you have work to complete? Then go quickly." The young man rebutted angrily: "What kind of patrol, what kind of mission. It sounds like it is to maintain the peace and stability of the country, but in fact it is just a group of knights.
Are you just wandering around aimlessly outside?
You have known all your life that you have lived such a mediocre life, without any achievements or achievements, and you have not even been able to become a Silver Knight. Since you think that being the lowest-level Black Iron Knight and patrolling everywhere is such an important task, then
Why don't you go right away? Leave your son and wife behind and patrol outside for a long time!"
Listening to his son's abuse, the knight's face was full of bitterness, but he couldn't say anything back. Because what his son said was to a large extent an indisputable fact. The knight did not give up his duties,
Finally left.
Until his father's back completely disappeared, the boy did not say a word of farewell to him. The boy returned home angrily and celebrated his birthday with his mother as only two people celebrated.
The next day after that, news of the death of the middle-aged knight came. He died in the line of duty, and the middle-aged knight was posthumously named a Silver Knight.
------The question is, has this knight really become a hero?
In the months that followed, the boy fell into deep self-blame. He thought that if he had not said that to his father, his father might have been more peaceful and would not have acted like a hero and ultimately lost his child.
After feeling deep self-blame, the young man stubbornly believed that his father was a hero, that everything his father did was right, and that his father's death was also a glorious death, sacrificing his life for the country.
With this sense of honor, the boy joined the Knights of Great Britain, followed his father's path, and tried to find out the truth about his father's death. The truth is always cruel. When the boy knew that his father just disobeyed orders and acted arbitrarily, he...
When he lost his life and was no longer a hero, his father's image in the young man's mind further collapsed.
He didn't know whether he should hate his father or blame himself. Who can truly understand the situation at that time, and who can be sure that the boy's father did not act recklessly and stupidly because he was scolded by the boy.
, eventually died in the line of duty?
Therefore, rather than saying that he cannot forgive his father, what the young man cannot forgive the most is actually himself.
"Oh, what an interesting father-son relationship." A voice said in the darkness.
"If possible, I really wish I could do it all over again." The young man sighed in a low voice.
If he hadn't lost his temper and said that to his father, maybe his father wouldn't have died recklessly, right?
Even if I had thought about saying goodbye to my father, I wouldn't have such regrets in my heart now, right?
"Have you ever thought that all this can really happen again?" the mysterious voice in the darkness asked.
"What?" The young man began to wake up at this time and realized that something was wrong.
In this darkness, someone was watching him, talking to him, and peeking into his past.
"Who are you?" Daniel asked alertly.
"It doesn't matter who I am." The voice replied: "What matters is what you can become, what you can achieve, and what you can gain."
With the technology I have at my disposal, resurrecting the dead is just a piece of cake. Not only can you resurrect your mother and make her smile at you again, you can also resurrect your father and resurrect your unspoken apology.
Tell him once.
You will no longer regret or be sad. What awaits you will be a wonderful future.
And the only thing you need to do is------------
Give me your soul."
"Are you kidding------"
"Everything I said is the truth." The voice said: "I am now using telepathy on you in your mental image world. In this state, I cannot lie to you."
Everything I told you is true. I can save your parents and use artificial human technology to resurrect them. There is only one condition, which is that you surrender to me.
You are so unique and unruly, so I want to make you mine no matter what.
I want your body and your soul. I will do whatever I want with your thin and lovely body, and order you to do everything I want you to do. I will inject my deep love into your body and make you
It will fill you up so much that you can't help but moan with shame, until your love overflows and gushes out!
"
"...You pervert!" The young man cursed disdainfully, but there was fear in his words.
"Oh, am I?" The other party disagreed.
"However, even if I am, can you refuse me?" The other party said unscrupulously.
"Please don't forget, you only have one chance; and I am the only one in the world who can give you such an opportunity.
Either you reject me and say goodbye to your loved ones forever;
Or surrender to me and hand your body and soul into my hands, letting me play with you and humiliate you in every possible way. ------ And the people you cherish the most will be saved.
------It's up to you to decide whether you want to save them or save yourself!"
The young man couldn't answer even a single sentence.
"But before that, let me fuck you first." The tone of the voice in the darkness suddenly changed, and the darkness was filled with its sinister sneer.
Thick darkness gradually emerged, a darkness darker than darkness.
More darkness surged into the darkness, wrapping Daniel's whole body like thick tar. They tore at the boy's body, devoured his flesh and blood, and seemed to have thousands of fingers licking at the boy's body.
Every inch of skin, billions of tongues were teasing every hair on the boy's body. The sticky darkness tried to penetrate into the boy's body from every hole in the boy's body. They poured into Daniel's mouth and seeped into Daniel's nostrils.
, oppressing the boy's eardrums, and even crazily invading the boy's private parts.
Surrounded and squeezed from the inside out, pierced and filled, the boy didn't even have room to scream. He could only sink in waves of convulsions, enduring the violence.
The pain silently leaks out the residual juice of despair.
The voice in the darkness is laughing crazily. Everything he does to the boy is a kind of mental torture, and this torture will gradually destroy the boy's mind and eventually make him succumb. If he can't survive, that voice in the darkness will
The owner of the voice will get this boy forever!
And at this moment, somewhere in Great Britain, in Prince Kay's mansion.
Xinghui Longshaxing seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up from his sleep.
