Chapter 212 Approaching the Gods (Thirty-Four)
"Then you gained salvation through your belief in the so-called Earth Mother?" The old priest looked older and older, but his thinking became more and more flexible. Then he asked, "Just because I want you to know that you are just a fake?"
The words were sharp and unabashedly piercing people's hearts.
He just transferred the mental shock Liu Sheng had just caused to him to Dawn.
Fortunately, Priest Dawn knew about this a long time ago. He looked at Liu Sheng and slowly said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or false. I don't care anymore, as long as I exist now. , then I am real.”
"Priestess Earth Mother at least told me the truth, letting me know that what I struggled with and doubted was indeed true, and no longer lived in the lies of self-deception. He also gave me the ability to think. From then on, I was considered alive. I Only then can we be saved.”
“Now I have a new life. Although I don’t know how long it will last...but at least now, I cherish every inch of my own life.”
Priest Dawn said seriously. , the corners of his eyes are a little moist.
Liu Sheng gently patted Priest Dawn's hand to express comfort.
Priest Dawn smiled sadly, remembering the moment that really made her awaken.
At that time, she was cleaning the shrine and doing her routine homework.
Suddenly, a little girl's voice was heard in the shrine.
“Auntie, what are you doing?”
The Dawn Priest turned around and saw that it was the new arrival, Song Yanran’s daughter Xiaoya. Because her mother came to the city for training, So he brought his daughter with him and stayed in the temple.
She noticed that Xiaoya didn’t even have a serious name. Seeing the innocent look on the little girl’s face, she couldn’t help but feel softer in her heart.
"I'm packing up the offerings."
As he said that, he kept moving his hands away from the fruits that had become wilted overnight and replaced them with new ones.
"Auntie, why do you have to clean it up?"
"Because God wants to eat fresh food."
"But...I haven't eaten fresh food for a long time... ..." Xiaoya salivated looking at the food on the table.
Priest Dawn felt a little distressed, so he took out a fruit that seemed to be in good condition, wiped it with the inside of his sleeve, and handed it to Xiaoya.
Although this is not in line with the rules, it’s good that Xiaoya is happy.
As expected, Xiaoya was very happy. While eating, she pestered Priest Dawn to listen to the story.
Priest Dawn gave a rare smile and touched her little head, feeling more joy rise in his heart.
An inexplicable thought also arose.
I wish I had such a lovely daughter.
But then came the doubts, why did I like children so much, but ended up alone and never became a mother?
Although she vaguely knew, the memory said that she was determined to devote herself to the Supreme God, so she chose this path.
But she always felt that this reason was floating in the air and did not settle in her heart.
This feeling of violation has become more and more obvious, and she can no longer ignore it.
She began to have thoughts that didn't seem to belong to this body, and it seemed like she was growing up again.
Later, she also discovered a clue that Liu Sheng was not a believer of the Supreme God. To say it was a clue was to put it mildly, but in fact it was too obvious.
But after thinking about it for a night, she decided to pursue her inner thoughts and chose to follow Liu Sheng's path.
Although this road is not shrouded in divine light, the ground is not filled with flowers, and there is no divine presence from above, instead, from time to time, the whole body is covered with dust and sweat due to repairing the house so that people can live in it. Cooking for the busy craftsmen, busy in the stove.
This road is full of unknowns and is no longer an established trajectory.
But, this is how to live.
This is her inexplicable idea.
......
The old priest listened to the incomprehensible but inexplicably touching words of Priest Dawn, as well as the serious look on his face, and something in his heart trembled.
Every time you salute, you always make a fist and press it on your left chest, as if you are keeping the Supreme God in your heart.
But it seemed that his heart didn't really exist until this moment. He unconsciously pressed his hand on his left chest, feeling the beating beneath his skin.
One beat, one beat, like beating a drum.
No, he doesn’t even know what real drumming is like.
A wry smile appeared on the old priest's face.
But he could no longer change, and his belief in the Supreme God formed his foundation.
Only then did he realize that he was such an existence, a guide, a supervisor...a watchdog.
【He is special. He is the back-up man of the Supreme God and the anchor for the Supreme God to stay here, so don't try to shake him. 】The world also reminded in a cold voice.
【I know. 】
【There is a piece of his code that cannot be modified, just like there are some modules in this copy that I cannot modify, because these modules determine the skeleton of this illusion, if I really force the modification , the illusion may collapse. 】
Liu Sheng understood, and also noticed that the touch on the old priest's face gradually faded away, and he slowly lowered his hand to feel the heartbeat.
【So, we can only do that. 】
This determination has been made long ago, but she still has to ask routinely: "You know I will kill you, right?"
The old priest nodded: "I know, from now on. You knew it the moment you came in."
"You will regret it. Without me, you will lose." There was a wry smile on his lips.
"But will you help me? If I don't kill you." Liu Sheng asked.
"But will you change your faith? If I help you." The old priest asked the same question.
The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other's answers.
So, there is nothing more to say.
Priest Dawn looked on, silently clenching his hands, feeling sad in his heart.
...
After leaving the basement, Liu Sheng wiped the blood-stained holy sword and put it back into its sheath.
"Priest Earth Mother, what should we do next?" Priest Dawn was a little confused, "Is what he said true? Will you lose?"
Liu Sheng shook his head: "I won't lose."
"But, what on earth is he talking about? I always feel like there is something hidden..."
"Yes, he hid some information, but he will never tell it."
"Then, what are you going to do?"
"What I want to do... ..."
At this time, they happened to walk to the patio, and then the Dawn Priest saw that the Great Priest stopped mid-sentence and just looked up at the square framed night in the patio. I don’t know what I am thinking about.
"Shall we eat first? The kitchen should have prepared the meal?" Then Liu Sheng came back to her senses and asked with a smile.
Priest Dawn was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, I have just given the order, and it should be done now."
She sensed that the lights in the kitchen were bright, and many priests and craftsmen were working there. Sit down and enjoy dinner in the cafeteria.
Then, she nodded accurately: "Yes, indeed."
Hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly walked a few steps faster, and urged: "Why don't you hurry up and eat? "Be active, what do you mean by that?"
"It seems that the great priest said once that if you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain," said the priest at dawn.
"Awesome, you remember it clearly!"
"Because...it makes sense..."
Three updates today, this is the first one
