Dong Xie glanced over Gao Ying, Qin Yexunyi, and Jack. They were whispering to each other just now, but he could only vaguely hear the classroom and... the word devil.
But... all this is not important to him. Now this weird phenomenon made him start to have some associations.
It's definitely not someone's jailbreak, something must have happened...
“Something of supernature…”
This was the only thing Dong Xie could think of.
Dong Xie remembers... when he was 4 or 5 years old, he first learned that "death" was an irreversible concept. Although he knew about death a long time ago, he thought that people would not die as long as they were not fatally injured or terminally ill. However, human life is limited, and once the end comes, no one will be spared. This is an unavoidable natural law of biological evolution. At that time, he even cried bitterly when he heard about it. He was afraid that he would die, and at the same time hugged his mother... because one day his mother and father will leave his side, and this day must come of.
In country Z, death is a taboo word. Adults rarely explain the concept of death to children in the enlightenment period. After all, it is difficult for adults to face death calmly, let alone children? But Dong Xie's parents grew up in Western society, and they don't shy away from death.
"Human medicine is so advanced and life expectancy is getting longer and longer, why can't there be a way to achieve immortality???"
Dong Xie once asked his parents that. He naturally knows that death is an unavoidable natural law for every biological individual, and only death can make way for a new life. However, every biological individual is irreplaceable. Dong Xie didn't understand why the individual couldn't have eternal life
At that time, both father and mother shook their heads, saying that even though human genetic research has just started, it is still impossible to figure out which diseases correspond to which genetic loci, and it is naturally impossible to survive forever. Even his mother would take the trouble to explain to him such as the limit of cell division, the biological principles of aging, etc., and never fool him just because he is a child.
"But... Although the body has limits, the soul is different..."
Finally, his mother mentioned the matter to him.
"Scorpion, in this world, after death... there is a soul. So death is not the end of everything..."
Dong Xie suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gao Ying. Before the latter could react, he was dragged to a deserted place.
"who are you???"
Dong Xie stared at Gao Ying with a scrutinizing gaze.
The others were puzzled when they noticed that Dong Xie had pulled Gao Ying away. Jack wanted to follow up to have a look, but he felt... If he followed up, Dong Xie might not say anything. Qin Yexunyi, on the other hand, was just watching.
"I... am a prisoner..." Gao Ying naturally couldn't tell the truth, and Dong Xie wouldn't believe it anyway.
Dong Xie stared at him firmly, and then said something that made Gao Ying's hair stand on end.
"Do you want eternal life? How much are you willing to pay for it?"
No matter how dimpled Gao Ying's chest was, he couldn't restrain the horror in his heart at this moment!
And his horrified expression was naturally completely noticed by Dong Xie.
"I heard you talking about 'classrooms', and... 'devils'! You are, indeed, emissaries of the devil!"
Dong Xie then took a few steps back, sneered a bit, and said, "You and the 'Shadow Sect' are the same. You sold your soul to the devil in order to obtain eternal life."
Gao Ying's reaction was very quick, he immediately denied: "What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of devil, immortal..."
However, Dong Xie waved his hand and said, "You don't need to deny it, Gao Ying. Even if you are the messenger of the devil, I can't do anything to you now. And..."
When he said the word "and", he looked down at his prison uniform: "I have no position to accuse you, Gao Ying."
(He knows more than I imagined. It seems that Agnes may need to rely on this person to enter the Death space! However, at present, he cannot be admitted as a 'devil's messenger', whether he believes it or not!)
"I really don't know what you're talking about..." Gao Ying made an angry expression, pushed him away, and when he was about to leave, Dong Xie grabbed Gao Ying's right arm!
He said with a very solemn expression: "You are here to pick up the witch from the Gerzwarren family, right? Well, I can help you, but... I have a condition, take me to that 'classroom'!"
The words are not shocking and endless, Gao Ying never thought that Dong Xie would say these words!
"I don't care anymore, even if I go to hell after death and be cursed by God, I don't care anymore! I give my soul... to the devil too!"
Gao Ying stretched out his hand to break free from him, and continued to shake his head: "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Dong Xie stared at Gao Ying, and he became more and more sure of his judgment.
Even now he remembered well the first time he had been taken to visit Earl Gominick by his uncle and mother. At that time, his mother took him to see Wilvin, and at that time... because he was about the same age as Wilvin, when the adults were talking about things. He just played puzzles with Wilvin. He was shocked to find that Welvin's talent was astonishing. He completed such a complicated puzzle in just five minutes, and Dong Xie was just helping to deliver the puzzle...
After that day, my mother and uncle told me that he would live in the Gominik family in the future, while my mother and father would go back to Country Z. During this time, Earl Gominick will take good care of him. At that time, he would never have dreamed that this would be his farewell to his mother.
Even now he still remembers everything about that day very clearly, the haggard eyes of his mother, the worried expression of his uncle, and the unashamed Earl Gominick...
At that time, because he felt that there was no possibility of making any further progress in the jigsaw puzzle, he once eavesdropped on the conversation between the earl, his mother, and his uncle.
"Please don't worry. I will take good care of this child. According to the words of the people of Z country... it is as if it is my own."
"Thank you, Earl, God will bless you." That was the voice of the mother sobbing slightly, but Dong Xie had no idea why her mother was crying.
After that day, his name became Scorpion Gominick, and he became the adopted son of Earl Gominick.
Only later did he know that his mother had sent him into the Gominik family, which was considered a caregiver. Because she believed that only the Gominicks could protect her.
The count did not lie, he did treat himself as his own, and he and the countess treated themselves no differently from their own son, Wilvin. Although the family has strict family education, it has indeed become Dong Xie's second home.
…
"I'm sorry... Earl..."
Although the earl became his adoptive father after that day, Dong Xie still couldn't call him father. No matter how nice the Earl and his wife treated him, he knew that he was just an outsider.
"Help... help!"
What interrupted Dong Xie's thoughts was a prisoner who ran in from the other side of the prison!
This prisoner is not an examinee, which can be seen from his full fifty years of age!
Gao Ying looked at the prisoner who ran in, and ran up quickly, only to see that his face was pale, bloodless, and dripping with sweat. And Gao Ying immediately asked: What happened! "
Jack and Qin Yexunyi also came up, and they naturally hoped to get first-hand information from these prisoners. Maybe he can make a multiple-choice question with a single sentence!
"I... I..." The prisoner seemed to be out of breath because he was running too fast, and he couldn't speak a complete sentence for a while!
Jack was obviously impatient, he ran up and grabbed the prisoner's shoulders, and said, "What's the matter, what happened to you?"
The prisoner pointed to the other side of the passage, and said with a terrified expression: "Karen, Karen, he was... was..."
Suddenly, the lights in the prison area suddenly went out!
Not long after, the lights came on again.
In the middle, it took about two or three seconds.
But... that middle-aged prisoner has disappeared and disappeared!
