Chapter 49 - Believers (3)
Him? I think he should be talking about that person, the ‘evil ghost’ in that crazy woman’s mouth.
"How did you come to this place? Who is the 'him' you are talking about?"
The spirit in front of me had a dazed expression, "Have you ever heard of the Doomsday Knight?"
I shook my head, and the spirit began his narration.
"I used to have a stable job and a loving wife. Our life was originally very happy. Even after experiencing the impact of plague and war, we lived a more comfortable life than most people."
"What does this have to do with the Doom Knight?"
I still remembered the unconscious Wen Na, Xiwu and Chaoyang, and wanted him to shorten the story quickly and skip the unnecessary recall process.
"During that time, many places were very turbulent, and various prophecies about the end of the world were rampant. As the situation gradually worsened, one prophecy gradually became mainstream, and that was the doomsday knight prophecy."
"Are you saying that a knight will appear in the end of the world to save the people from fire and water? Is this how he deceived you?" I think this man is quite young. How can he still believe in such nonsense as superheroes?
“When I saw the Lamb opening the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures with a voice like thunder saying, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and he who sat on it
He took a bow and was given a crown. Then he came out, victorious and victorious." The spirit said impassionedly.
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. And authority was given to the rider to take away peace from the earth and to bring peace to the people.
They killed each other, and a big sword was given to him.
When I opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" So I looked, and I saw a black horse. The man who sat on the horse had a scale in his hand. I heard that among the four living creatures, there seemed to be
The voice said: "One denarius will buy one liter of wheat, one denarius will buy three liters of barley, and do not waste the oil or wine."
When I opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, "Come!" So I looked and saw a pale green horse. The one who sat on the horse was named Death, and Hades followed him.
Power was given to them to kill a quarter of the people on the earth with sword, famine, pestilence, and wild beasts!”
"What do you mean by this?" I was very confused.
"Plague, war, famine, and death, these are the meanings represented by the four horsemen of the doomsday in the prophecy. I was originally a staunch atheist. When the plague and war came, I never wavered. But my wife suddenly fell ill.
Then a famine really broke out in the city we lived in, and it was hard to buy even a grain of rice! Everyone began to believe that the end was really coming, and the only thing we would face next was death." "I sold what I could.
We sold everything and couldn't afford my wife's medical expenses, so I had to take her to seek medical advice from the people. At that time, everyone said that they should flee to the west, where there is a vast area, sparsely populated areas, and rich products, so the chance of survival would be greater.
Some, we also started walking to the west. Our original destination was not this town, but by some strange combination of circumstances, we got here. When we first arrived in the town, my wife was already dead."
"We were penniless at the time, but he still received us very warmly, provided us with food and clothing for free, and also provided some medical equipment and medicine for my wife. I thought at the time that I had met a kind person! Except for me
With my wife, he also received many refugees from all over the world. You see, there are some people in this yard that I have met before." The spirit body looked around at the dull people and continued.
"There are all kinds of people gathered here. If there are people who have failed in business, he will encourage them and give those people the right to manage here. Even if it is just to help him give orders, he can also give comfort to such frustrated people.
Gain confidence.
For those who were afraid of the changes and disasters in the outside world, he opened his arms to them and described this place as the safest and happiest utopia.
There are serious sinful people who will make up a set of excuses to make the sinful people seem to be redeemed.
He seems to be able to discern everyone's fears and desires, and gradually everyone loves him, respects him, relies on him, and obeys his orders.
Everyone is suspicious, disgusted, and dissatisfied with everything in the outside world. These people have truly become his believers.
Even some atheists like me who think they are smart and don’t believe it will still believe every word he says. They hope to get what they want according to the words and deeds prescribed by him, to feel safe and protected.
, there is a sense of accomplishment and relief after salvation.”
"Together we built a high wall to resist the disturbances and changes in the outside world. More and more people joined us. Even many powerful people became his followers and contributed money and effort to this place. We would have dinner together every night, and during the dinner
When the time comes, he will give us a speech and describe to us the blueprint for a new era after the end of the world, and we are the pioneers of the new era."
"What about your wife?" I asked him. "Is she among these people?"
The spirit shook his head, "She should be dead...there is no miracle at all."
"What miracle?"
"When all of us were following his lead, he performed a miracle for us. It was that miracle that made everyone completely crazy and regarded him as a god. I also saw hope of curing my wife."
"His wife has been in charge of our logistics work. They are like a couple of gods and goddesses in front of us. However, for those who admire his wife a little bit, or those who are in need, he does not care, does not shy away, and will
Take the initiative to give his wife his life... Many people here... have... had sex with her. He will even bless them... to make them feel that if they have sex with his wife, they will...
As if blessed by God, his power will flow through his wife's body."
"At a confession meeting, someone pointed out that what he did was unethical and questioned the content of his speech in public, saying that he was a liar. At that time, before he could react, many people around him rushed to him.
The person who questioned was caught, everyone denounced him as having no conscience, and beat him to death with random punches."
"His wife saw someone being beaten to death and cried. She felt that it was because she did not care for the person who questioned, so the tragedy happened. She blamed herself very much. She also said that she felt that she was born as a woman and her body had to bear it.
There was too much pain, and then he touched the woman’s head and asked her to pray to him devoutly.”
The color of the spirit body became lighter... I knew that his time might be running out, so I stopped talking and let him say as much as possible.
"His wife prayed word by word, saying that she hoped to be a real husband, so... he pulled out his wife's soul. Of course, we couldn't see the soul at the time, we only saw the woman's feet lifted off the ground.
A few dozen centimeters, completely floating in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. After a few minutes, the man who had just been beaten to death actually took a deep breath and came to life, and then knelt before him with tears streaming down his face.
rise!"
"At that time, everyone didn't understand what was going on. He smiled faintly and motioned to the people in the front row to feel the woman's pulse. After those people felt it, they all excitedly knelt on the ground and knelt down to him, and then we
Understand, he really did it."
"He gave that woman a new life... Just when I thought that as long as we prayed to him sincerely, he would do the same miracle to my wife and save her life... But at the dinner party a few days later
, he put forward a new goal..."
"That day, everyone drank a cup of Zhuangxing wine. In fact, it was not wine. He believed that alcohol would paralyze people, and his soldiers must be absolutely sane. It was a tea drink that he prepared himself. It tasted like
It was unsweetened sour plum juice, dark and numb, and we had drank it many times before. But that time, it was very different. Before drinking it, he gave another speech, about a ticket.
"I can't remember clearly..." The color of the spirit body became lighter.
"The general meaning of what he said at that time was, let me think about it... He said that after tonight, we will enter a new era, and those who drink this glass of wine will get a ticket to enter the new era. He
