"I... died?" The young man looked at the masked man in front of him in shock, as if it was difficult to accept this cruel reality.
"You are different from those who are eroded by sin marks the day after tomorrow. The sin marks have been attached to your body since you were born, and 'His' will is sealed in your body."
"You and 'He' are one and the same. When your body does not have enough strength to support the energy consumption of the sin pattern, 'His' will will revive and swallow you completely."
"It stands to reason that within a few days after you are born, this terrifying power of the curse will swallow you up completely and breed the seeds of the original sin again, but that freak Arthur insists on using 003 to cooperate. The Ritual of Melicchiu completely sealed 'His' will and prevented the power of the curse from spreading, allowing you to survive successfully."
"But although his stupid method can save you for a while, it can't save you for a lifetime. The curse of sin marks will eventually swallow up everything. It's just a matter of time." The man touched his forehead with his hand and sighed deeply. One breath.
"Father........"
"Now, apart from the fact that your consciousness can enter this semi-spiritual plane to communicate with me, what is the difference between your physical condition in reality and the so-called death?" The man observed the subtle changes in the young man's expression and paused in his words. After a moment, he continued to speak.
"Child, you don't have to be too sad. The current situation is not completely bad, and this matter is not impossible to save. I... can help you."
"Who are you? Why do you...know this? Can you really...save me?" There was hope and confusion in the young man's eyes. He was concerned about this sudden appearance. The man felt a little strange, but what the other party said undoubtedly left a spark of hope in his heart.
"Who am I?" The man lowered his head for some reason, and the pale golden eyes under the mask glowed dimly. He stood motionless and remained silent for several seconds before raising his head.
"...Child, you shouldn't ask this question."
"...Why is it at this time?"
"...We waited with great difficulty for this opportunity for a peaceful resolution."
"...let me do this negotiation, let me do this negotiation!"
"...No, no, no, I can't let you come, you will mess everything up!"
The man suddenly covered his head, muttering something to himself.
"Who am I?" The man repeated these words, as if he was asking the boy, but also as if he was asking himself.
"Who am I?" The man pulled his light blond hair in pain, knelt unsteadily on the ground, and kept banging his head against the ground.
"Who am I?"
The young man clearly saw that the pair of pale golden eyes in the gap in his mask became dull as the man kept repeating his words. He didn't understand why this happened.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha ha!"
The man suddenly started laughing wildly for some reason. After the violent impact on his head, a large amount of blood leaked out. However, he laughed and hit his head as if he was unaware of the pain. The blood coming out of his scalp almost covered his head. His pale blond hair was dyed red.
"Hahahaha!!!"
After a burst of heart-rending and twisted laughter, the man stopped the impact. Although his scalp was almost shattered by the impact, the mask on his face was intact and was firmly worn on his face, like a sticky mask. Same as above. As for the pair of eyes under the mask, the kind and compassionate pale gold in the pupils had long since disappeared, replaced by a scarlet full of indifference.
The man touched the top of his head and dipped his hand in blood. Then he stretched out his hand and drew an upward smile arc with blood on the white mask on his face, a perfect smile.
"Nice to meet you...my old friend, oh no, it should be a new friend." The man said to the boy, but his voice was unexpectedly hoarse and unpleasant, as if he was rubbing dry skin with a knife. Like tree bark, it was completely different from the gentle and magnetic voice before.
"What happened to you just now?"
"It's nothing, my scalp is just itchy. It's getting better after the bleeding." A hoarse, ugly, distorted laugh came from the mask.
"I..." The young man was a little surprised by the man's sudden change, especially the man who laughed inexplicably just now. The dry laughter made him feel a little bit of fear.
"My dear new friend, don't worry about these small changes in my body, let's go back to the topic just now... uh... what was the topic just now?" The man said with a dipstick His bloody fingers drew a few crooked lines on the mask on his face. Both his expression and tone were completely different from what he looked like just now.
"Who are you, and... can you really save me?" The young man looked at the completely different man in front of him, filled with doubts in his heart.
"You can call me 'Magician'. I am a purely good person. As for saving you, of course it is possible. The reason why those guys in this world can't do anything about your situation is because they are too useless. Well, the noble and great Mr. Magician is different from those despicable thieves. Solving your current situation is just a trivial matter in my eyes." The magician raised his eyes, with scarlet pupils. Showing a bit of pride.
"Can you cure me?"
"Oh ho ho, of course." A trace of blood flashed in the magician's eyes, "But before I save you, we need to make a deal first."
"Deal? What deal?"
"You don't need to know this, because when that hypocrite entered here, the deal must have been concluded..."
The magician snapped his fingers, and countless cracks appeared in the surrounding space barrier. In the next second, all the huge white barriers in this space were reduced to tiny fragments, and behind the barrier, the extremely deep darkness, It completely envelops the world.
"My dear new friend, the deal is done, your pathetic life is about to continue."
"Hahahaha, please sincerely praise the great Mr. Magician." The magician laughed wildly. In this terrifying laughter, the fragments of the white barrier were all turned into countless dust. , swallowed up by the surrounding darkness.
"Friend, we will meet again. I look forward to that day." The magician's body gradually disappeared into the darkness, and his limbs were completely wrapped in darkness. Only the mask with blood-colored lines on his face and the priest The pattern on the robe looks very dazzling.
That golden apple.
The magician completely disappeared from the boy's eyes, but his terrifying laughter still echoed in the endless darkness.
"You haven't..." The boy wanted to stop the magician, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was wrapped in the darkness around him, and he couldn't say anything.
He also gradually disappeared into the deep darkness like a magician, but the other party seemed to just leave from here, while he seemed to be continuously swallowed by the darkness.
When the darkness completely covered the young man, the young man's consciousness began to become faint, and his body completely disappeared into the darkness...
"Grand Duke, this child suddenly has signs of life activity."
"What?!"
"He can be saved!"
These were the last words the boy heard before he completely lost consciousness.
