Carl.
Chen Yi remembered the name.
Lomea once said that the sinner who was an angel was the initiator of the destruction of the temple and the fall into the abyss.
"You were impaled there on purpose." Chen Yi asked, "What is your purpose?"
"I have asked for prophecies and know that you will come." Karl replied, "My purpose is very simple, just like my ancient saying 'seeking knowledge'."
Carl bowed slightly to Him.
“The Prince of faith, the Lord of salvation,
I want to make a deal with you.
I want to ask you for knowledge and answers,
Because I want to gain understanding and advance. "
"Why should I trade with you?" Chen Yi asked sarcastically.
"Because I know how to save Resurrection Town and reverse the fate of destruction." Carl moved his lower jaw and tried his best to smile.
Chen Yi frowned.
This is the purpose that I have been constantly deducing.
"Not only that, I can also take you to meet the Lord of Suffering from the future and answer the questions you have always had - who is the Lord of Suffering? Why has Resurrection Town been destroyed in countless deductions?"
Carl's words were seductive.
Chen Yi was a little shaken.
He added: "I swear a blood oath that there will be no danger for you to answer this question."
After saying that, the hole in Karl's body suddenly expanded, and a pumping heart was taken out by him.
"I will engrave the oath on it. For a dead soul like me, breaking the oath is equivalent to disappearing into ashes." Karl said enthusiastically and respectfully, "And to show my sincerity, I can tell you some secret things."
Chen Yi nodded slightly at this time.
"I promise you, you can show your sincerity now." Chen Yi said.
"Okay," Karl took a deep breath and said, "About the Lord of Suffering, I can tell you... He comes from the future."
"From the future." Chen Yi said doubtfully.
"Yes, the Lord of Suffering does not come from the present, but from the future," Karl said, his face trembling. "He made a deal with fate and came from the future."
Chen Yi heard this and pondered for a moment.
The Lord of Misery comes from the future...
Who is He?
Every trace He left in this world can correspond to His own memory.
Could it be me in the future?
But...why do you say I stole His authority?
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yi asked: "What do you want to ask me?"
"What I want to ask is also related to your ancient saying of 'salvation'." As he said that, Karin smiled and said: "Come with me, the Lord of Faith and the Lord of Salvation."
Chen Yi stared at Karl, he seemed to know a lot.
They walked to the bronze gate. Chen Yi raised his head, and six pictures appeared on it. It was very similar to his own bronze gate above the sea of clouds with thousands of pillars.
Unlike me, who only has one relief of Christopher, every scene of this bronze gate is filled.
As they advanced, the three-headed hell dog guarding the gate was awakened. It stood up with its huge body,
It opened its huge mouth and roared angrily at them.
Chen Yi didn't wait for him to raise his hand.
Karl recited a spell, and a blade of light gathered in his hand and flew towards it.
One of its heads was cut off like a circumcision.
The three-headed dog whined in pain, looked at them angrily, and ran away from a distance.
"There is no need for you, the noble one, to take action and consume that precious divinity." Karl said respectfully.
Chen Yi didn't answer.
Karl pushed the bronze door open a tiny door.
Chen Yi followed him in.
"This is the most precious hell for the Lord of Suffering."
Chen Yi followed his words and looked.
What comes into view is a huge milky-white tower that almost reaches the sky.
And on the blood-black earth, there are Shanbu people carrying stones one by one, as well as the city built with scaffolding and simple shacks.
A man in holy attire stood high on a certain boulder, gesticulating at the Shandivians and directing them to build a huge tower.
Chen Yi carefully observed the residents here. Their flesh and blood were solid and there was no ghost-like illusion.
Except there is no sun, this place seems to be the same as the human world.
Chen Yi was very surprised.
"Allow me to introduce you." Karl introduced in a solemn tone:
"This is the most satisfying hell created by the Lord of Suffering based on the memory of his old friend.
You see, those slaves, those divination people who believe in the Temple of the Cross, will come here to be slaves almost after death.
That tower they're building, that's the tower to the human world, everybody here knows that,
As long as this tower is built, they can return to the world!
And there are the princes and nobles who enslave them and the clergy who brainwash them, constantly spurring them and encouraging them to work hard to return to the world.
You see, this place seems to be no different from the human world.
Because He said 'Hell is other people. '"
Chen Yi remembered these familiar words in his ears.
That was originally a famous quote by the French philosopher Sartre.
Karl turned around and faced Chen Yi: "However, they will never build this tower. Look there, Lord of salvation."
Chen Yi followed his gaze.
A magnificent, deformed worm beast emerged from the surface.
Facing the tower that was getting taller and taller, it roared with hatred and violently knocked the tower down.
The giant tower collapsed, the crowd wailed and mourned, and the slaves fled in panic, avoiding the falling boulders.
Then, Chen Yi saw the princes and nobles, who tied groups of slaves into cages. The huge cages looked like dinner plates.
The slaves, with tragic and glorious faces, were presented to the giant worm beast.
The giant worm twisted its body, as if it was extremely disgusted, but it still feasted.
"Whenever the tower is built close to the human world, this giant worm will appear and destroy it. What a futile effort!" Karl said in praise.
"What do you want to ask me for?" Chen Yi interrupted his praise and asked.
Karl was not dissatisfied, but respectful.
"The King of Faith, the Lord of Salvation." Karl lowered his head slightly and begged: "I want to ask you, what is...the recipe for salvation?"
Chen Yi felt it when he asked those words.
The old adage “deliver” keeps ringing.
And he has a mysterious power that works on himself.
The solution to salvation?
Chen Yi murmured these words in his heart.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi gave the answer.
out of divinity,
He said, "Faith."
"Why?" Carl asked.
"Because I have witnessed what faith looks like." Chen Yi replied.
Then, out of human nature,
Chen Yi added: "There is still hope."
Carl nodded.
"Faith and hope, this is your answer. What a simple truth. My respect for you is like a torrent of river water." He flattered.
Chen Yi stared at him, knowing that this problem was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
As expected, Karl said: "I hope you can verify your answer in person. These poor Shanbu slaves are waiting for the savior."
"I want to verify it myself?" Chen Yi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's just an empty answer. I can't understand the ancient saying 'seeking knowledge' from it." Karl smiled, "You have to enter it yourself to verify your answer."
Chen Yi frowned.
This problem is indeed not that simple.
"How do I get into it?"
Upon hearing the question, Karl replied: "It's very simple. If you strip away your humanity temporarily, you don't belong here after all. It is the divinity of the thousand pillars of clouds that supports you to walk in hell.
And to enter here, the most precious hell of the Lord of Suffering, you who have not yet stripped away your humanity will be turned away. "
Chen Yi listened.
According to Karl, his own humanity, like the wrong key, cannot open the lock to enter here.
And divinity, like pliers, cuts the lock directly.
but...
Chen Yi doesn't trust Karl and doesn't know what will happen if he strips away his humanity.
"I refuse to validate the answer."
