Three days later...
"It's raining."
The aunt stuck her head out, touched the raindrops with her rough hands, then shook her hand, picked up the broken umbrella from the corner, opened it and went out.
She was walking slowly and tremblingly, holding an umbrella in her right hand and holding a string of Buddhist beads in her left hand, rubbing it close to her chest.
Not long after, she came to the place where the tombstones were erected in the suburbs, and looked at the three kneeling people from a distance.
"Kids, go home."
The aunt shouted.
No one responded.
She frowned slightly, took a few steps closer, and found Chen An kneeling on the ground, his head buried deeply in the wet soil in front of him, motionless.
The aunt knelt down and patted Chen An's shoulder gently, but she saw that Chen An's body seemed to be deflated and fell to the ground.
"Goudan?"
The aunt looked at Chen An's pale face and closed eyes, and then touched his nose.
Still alive.
So, she stood up and looked at the other two people, with a faint smile on her lips.
....
....
When Chen An woke up again, it was already three days later.
Along with everyone else, he was taken to a room in a daze and was taught a lesson.
An old gentleman with white hair and beard was wearing a cotton coat and tremblingly tapping on the blackboard.
"Today, we are going to talk about peace."
Chen An, Yin Qiaoxian, and the three fat men were sitting upright on chairs with a desk in front of them, listening to the lectures like students who went to school back then.
"Peace is composed of the word "harmony" and the word "ping".
Peace?
In the audience, Chen An looked at the two words on the blackboard in confusion. He could no longer read, but he followed the instructions... No, it should be said that all weak creatures must obey the strong in order to survive. The instinct to teach drives him to learn.
The old gentleman tapped on the blackboard, and the ruler in his hand made a snapping sound.
"In your past, you have committed sins, unforgivable sins. These sins are enough to make your previous three-day kneeling experience repeat itself thousands of times!"
"Teacher, what does a thousand times mean?" The fat man raised his hand and asked curiously.
The old gentleman snorted coldly: "A thousand times, I will make you kneel not for three days, but for thirty days, three hundred days, three thousand days, thirty thousand days, thirty million days!"
When the fat man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat.
The experience of walking between life and death and kneeling until he was unconscious has left an indelible mark on the depths of his soul, which weighed more than 200 kilograms.
The old gentleman's teaching continued. This class lasted all day, and there was no lunch. It seemed that the world was deliberately trying to make them different from the past and the "now".
It's like from now on, in their understanding, people only eat one meal a day.
At the same time, physical fatigue will bring about mental depression. It is difficult for a hungry child to have the heart to be "naughty".
In the evening, Chen An and others would fall asleep, and the days would go by like this.
During this period of time, their bodies were filled with all kinds of unusual "knowledge" while being extremely deprived. All of this seemed harmless, but it couldn't help but be full of absurdity.
"The will of God must be followed."
"God is sovereign."
"Only peace can bring happiness."
"Peace means that there are no unnecessary thoughts. All thoughts are based on maintaining the current stability."
"Peace means that emotions should not exist. If they exist, they should be abandoned immediately."
"Among the numbers, one, two, four, five, and six are the correct order."
At the same time, just like the education that countless children receive in kindergarten, simple concepts such as literacy and numbers are separated from "innovation" and "innovation".
The concepts behind "self-thinking" are also taught one by one.
At first, Chen An was a little confused and ignorant. His mind accepted all this with a little timidity, doubts and curiosity.
But until one time, Yin Qiaoxian did not follow the instructions and secretly went to play by the stream at night, and was whipped. Chen An questioned it. He did not understand what Yin Qiaoxian had done wrong and why just such behavior was so bad. To endure such pain.
He didn't understand the concept of rules, nor did he understand why the girl was crying so sadly while the parents around her seemed to turn a blind eye.
Chen An felt that his heart ached a little at that moment.
He doesn't know what "empathy, sympathy" is and no one has taught him this.
But he stood up.
Just this morning after three weeks of living together,
He and Yin Qiaoxian were sent to the sacred mountain together.
The Holy Mountain is a canyon located on the north side of the island. There is a road connected to the deep pit in the center of the island.
Under the escort of "Mom and Dad", Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian were ordered not to speak and walked for half a day to the front of the sacred mountain.
The entrance here is very narrow, with a narrow entrance in the center of the peaks on both sides. The entrance is lined with stone bricks to form a wall, and an ordinary wooden door blocks it.
A hooded man stood in front of him.
"Leave it to me next." The man said hoarsely.
"Yes, Lord God Envoy."
"Yes, Lord God Envoy."
If Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian were conscious at this moment, they would definitely find out that this man was Yang Xin.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he looked at Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian with strange expressions.
"Quan, is this the brother you trust?
Is he...worthy of being compared to me? "
...
...
In the park, Chen Quan sat under the track of the slide, leaning against the slide, looking up at the scenery in the "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water".
The scene at this moment is exactly the scene where Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian are about to enter the "Sacred Mountain".
Although Yang Xin thought like that, it seemed that Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian had no hope anymore, but Chen Quan's brows were slightly frowned.
During this period, although everything developed as Yang Xin imagined, Chen Quan, who had been "observing" Chen An, discovered more things.
For example, on the first day, Chen An discovered the "carved blood grooves" on his body that caused severe pain. Those were the rules written on his body before he completely forgot about them.
He didn't know what Chen An was thinking, but he knew that during the rare time Chen An was outside, he often looked up at the sky.
In the sky, Jiang Yixue used the sealed object to burst out the vague rules of the sky.
The two rules appear in different places, but the content is the same.
Chen An's consciousness should be the same as when he was a child. The thoughts and mentality he showed were just like the little Chen An when he was six years old.
But it just so happens...
Chen Quan is the "Chen An" who has truly experienced "childhood".
Even Yang Xin didn't know the real secret of the brothers Chen An and Chen Quan. No one except Chen Sheng knew about it.
Chen An never mentioned it to Yin Qiaoxian and others.
The outside world is never clear.
Chen Quan is the original Chen An.
And today's Chen An is just a second personality born from the power of "truth" in the accident of the "god-making experiment".
Chen An was born based on Chen Quan.
There is never love and hate without reason, trust and doubt without reason.
Chen Quan closed his eyes. Rather than believing in Chen An when he was talking to Yang Xin, it would be better to say that he believed in his younger self.
After all, no one knows yourself better than yourself.
"Still, it's not safe enough." Chen Quan said to himself, his eyes coldly swept towards the Queen
The castle was far away, but he seemed to see through the illusory shield.
In the past few days, he has figured out one thing. Although this idea is scary and unrealistic, he himself is an example.
What is most indispensable in this world is coincidence and miracle.
Or...the guidance and necessity of fate!
The Queen's character will not change suddenly.
People are fickle, but after becoming Weird, Chen Quan can be sure that Weird is a stable character who is not good at changing.
As for the Queen, not only did she crush those bishop-level weirdos in a short period of time, her personality also changed drastically. There was only one possibility for such a rapid progress.
Chen Quan said to himself: "They are the same type of existence as me."
The progress of human beings on the path of mutation requires acting and digesting, and fighting against madness and erosion, which is full of dangers.
Weird growth requires the absorption of fear and the gradual understanding of human nature, and growth is slow along the way.
This is the truth that Chen Quan only understood after he was turned into a strange creature by the "creeping moonlight" and sealed in the paradise. It is a truth that he truly understands.
Because this is how your own strength is improved.
However, the "human nature" of human beings makes Weird's second need for progress simple. He does not need to understand human nature, because he already has human nature, and all he has to do is to get it back.
The role of human beings is to make themselves similar to the connotation of the weird essence. But after becoming weird, he himself is the incarnation of the weird connotation.
so,
Chen Quan stood up and took a step forward. The dark red thunder enveloped his body, and he crossed a hundred meters and walked straight towards the Queen's castle.
The weirdness that can make rapid progress is the same type of weirdness as himself.
Yes, the weirdness of merging with humans!
...
...
Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian were led by Yang Xin into the valley path.
"You are not loyal to God." Yang Xin said.
The two were stunned, and Yin Qiaoxian quickly said: "We are very loyal to God."
Chen An lowered his head and whispered, "Me too."
Yang Xin shook his head, and the three of them continued walking. The path in the valley was a bit winding, the sunlight reflected in the gaps above their heads, and the wild grass and geckos grew wildly around them.
"You are unwilling to give up your thoughts." Yang Xin continued: "That is sinful."
Yin Qiao said: "My thoughts are meaningless, meaningless, I know."
Chen An lowered his head and whispered: "I think so too."
Yang Xin turned his head and looked at Yin Qiaoxian with strange eyes: "You are dishonest. You are scared. Do you think I will harm you? Will your parents harm their own children?"
Yin Qiaoxian did not dare to look at Yang Xin. Her small body was shaking a little. During this period, she had been beaten more severely than Chen An and anyone else.
She said with a hint of tears: "No, no, that's what I think."
Yang Xin paused and looked at Chen An, who kept his head lowered: "What about you?"
Chen An raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Me too."
Yang Xin looked at Chen An, and Chen An also looked at Yang Xin. After a moment of silence, Yang Xin smiled.
"Whether you are or not, I will know the next thing."
Yang Xin didn't speak again during the rest of the journey. After walking for more than ten minutes, the three of them came to a cave.
Inside the cave are two chairs.
On the chair, there are restraint ropes, and on both sides, there are smooth stone walls, reflecting the chair tilted from above.
Chen An noticed that there was a sign in front of the cave that read [Purification Room No. 1].
Yang Xin walked straight over and seemed to be adjusting something in front of the chair.
Chen An, on the other hand, moved closer to Yin Qiaoxian and said quickly in a very small voice: "Sister, remember, what we did in the past and what we will pay in the future, we all need to bear the price for our past actions. This It’s as it should be. Remember it!”
Yin Qiaoxian was stunned,
She looked at Chen An, then Yang Xin turned her head, and Yin Qiaoxian immediately looked at Yang Xin.
Yang Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen An, this guy is not very honest.
Ha, but it doesn’t matter.
No one can remain indifferent during purification.
"Sit on." Yang Xin pointed to the two chairs.
Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian sat on them, and their hands, feet, bodies, and necks were restrained.
Their heads were pointed at an absolute angle, looking toward the smooth stone wall above, reflecting their faces.
"Your past was full of sins. This is because you had your own thoughts, your own pursuits, and your desires, but all of them were wrong and sinful.
You have paid a huge price for your wrong and bad ideas.
You have hurt too many people.
You are not living a happy life.
Even if you don’t remember.
But I hope you can remember the sins you have committed,
You must understand that all these are sinful emotions that must be abandoned by you. "
As Yang Xin spoke, a twisted black ball of light emerged from his hand. He smiled and tapped the switch on the side of the wall.
At this moment, a strong and strange aura suddenly rose around him!
Chen An, on the other hand, felt that his gaze was uncontrollably directed towards the smooth stone wall. His reflection reflected on it was gradually distorted, and then distorted again...
Until...it turned into a strange but familiar girl!
Chen An's pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't know who the girl was. He only knew that at this moment, his heart hurt.
Yang Xin, leaning against the wall, watched quietly.
And Yin Qiaoxian on the side actually burst into tears.
"Let's see, Quan, can your brother resist the negative emotions extracted from the forgotten fragments?" Yang Xin smiled again, his smile becoming more and more wild and wanton.
"No one has scars and negative emotions in his heart. Those emotions are as high as a mountain. Hatred, anger, jealousy, inferiority, self-blame, all mixed together for my own incompetence. All of these are the reason for my existence."
Yang Xin's eyes became more and more gloomy. He was smiling, but his thoughts also drifted to his own birth.
He was born from those negative emotions,
Therefore, when this place became his strange world, it was natural for him to use his birth power to create such a method of erosion.
Weird ones are not all born for killing. Some of them create fear, and some make people feel lost.
But what Yang Xin wants to do is not the same.
He carries out what is firm in his heart and what is right for him.
He was born from those negative emotions and knew how terrible such emotions were, so he hoped that there would be no such negative emotions in the world.
As long as everyone is a puppet without self-thought.
The world will have eternal happiness and peace.
