Dong Xie's hands trembled more and more.
Finally, his hand slowly dropped.
"Gao Ying, I want to ask you a question. Do you know... if you get eternal life, what will happen?"
Gao Ying actually thought about this question, but to be honest, he didn't think it was meaningful to think about it.
"I... don't know. Right now, I'm just trying my best to survive."
"You... wait for me a moment."
After Dong Xie finished speaking, he turned and walked into a cell. Now every cell is open, so he can go in as he wants.
Gao Ying couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he could only stay where he was. Jack, on the other hand, felt baffled: "I still don't understand... How did we somehow become some kind of demon messenger? And even become a threat to human beings?"
Gao Ying sighed, and said, "Jack, do you think... if it is really a devil who made us take this horrible test, then... why did the devil promise us eternal life?"
"this?"
Jack is a Westerner, and to Westerners, demons are a very familiar concept. In any case, if the culprit of everything is the devil, then... what reason does the devil have to gift them with eternal life? What benefit is there for the devil to go through this kind of test
"soul… "
It was Qin Yexunyi who blurted out this word.
Jack was taken aback, and his complexion was also ugly. After all, he was born in a family that believed in Christianity.
"The price of our... eternal life is to give our souls to the devil?"
"Very likely." Frankly speaking, Gao Ying felt that the possibility was very high. It's just that it doesn't make sense to know this now. It's impossible not to take the exam. Even if you know this, you can only continue to be the "devil messenger". Although he didn't want to sell his soul, he didn't want to die either. For the future, let's leave it to the future to consider.
At this time, Dong Xie took out a thick black book from the cell and walked over.
"This is a must-read book issued by the warden to the prisoners, saying that let us read this book... to seek salvation."
Then he pointed the cover directly at Gao Ying, Jack and Qin Yexun, one and three!
"Holy Bible" is printed on the cover of this book, which is a "Bible". Gao Ying couldn't help but think of "The Shawshank Redemption", the protagonist also used the "Bible" given to him by the warden, hollowed out the pages inside and hid a hammer, and successfully dug through the prison.
But before he had time to think about why Dong Xie showed him the Bible, his eyes noticed the cross drawn on the cover!
At this moment... Gao Ying felt a strong discomfort! His legs could no longer support his body, and beads of sweat rolled from his forehead to the ground. At this moment, he felt very dizzy, and even his consciousness began to blur!
And Jack and Qin Yexunyi also had the same symptoms!
"Get it off! Get it off!"
Gao Ying roared, in his sight, the cross on the cover of the "Bible" seemed to be shining golden, and he seemed to be judged by this cross!
He ruthlessly swung the "Bible" in Dong Xie's hand to the ground!
At this time, his face was covered with sweat, and he was panting heavily, and the situation of Jack and Qin Yexunyi was not much better, and Jack was especially miserable. He even vomited all over the floor, and his face was extremely pale. And Qin Yexun also clutched his chest, barely supporting the ground with his hands.
And after not staring at the cross in the Bible, this series of painful symptoms also disappeared.
"Do you understand now why I called you 'demon messengers'?"
Gao Ying nodded, at this moment Dong Xie stretched out his hand and helped him up.
"When you choose to take this kind of exam, you have already become the enemies of God." Dong Xie continued: "Although I don't know why you paid the price of your soul and eventually became a great threat to mankind, it is impossible for you eternal life for nothing."
Gao Ying suddenly didn't understand.
Dong Xie's words seemed inconsistent.
He is clearly aware of all this, but still wants to obtain eternal life. Even if you betray your adoptive father's teachings. But he still seems to be struggling, and now he's questioning himself in turn
But how could Gao Ying know all this at the beginning? He just thought it was a composition topic for the college entrance examination! How did he know...
But at this moment, Gao Ying suddenly thought of...
If the price was not to go through this cruel and terrifying test, but to sell his soul to the devil, would he choose to make a contract with the devil
He looked at the eye-catching black skull on the examination paper in his hand.
"You want me to give you an answer." Gao Ying understood, "You hope that when you make this decision, there is one more responsible person, not just the answer you came up with yourself. Or do you think, if Let me give you a suggestion, you can relax a little bit and feel less guilty, can't you?"
Dong Xie didn't expect Gao Ying to see his thoughts so sharply.
"Yes..." he nodded slightly, "I'm mean..."
For Gao Ying, he didn't care what became the enemy of God. He is a native of country Z, so he doesn't believe in God or a savior. Dong Xie seems to have grown up in Western society, coupled with the teachings of his adoptive father who is likely to be a devout Christian, it is difficult to break through his own psychological barriers. However, to Gao Ying, nothing is important, he just wants to live, and he only came here to get the reward of being resurrected after death. If you want to live, what is the crime
"If you still hesitate, then think about it later. You can help us first, and then seek answers in the process."
Gao Ying's words made Dong Xie feel reasonable.
"All right!"
Qin Yexun looked at Dong Xie coldly, not knowing what he was planning at this moment. But Jack was very frustrated: "So... I can't go to church in the future? I was baptized in the church not long after I was born, and now I have become an enemy of God? My God!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help turning his head back, wanting to find a corner and kneel down to express his repentance to God.
At this time, he noticed Ruth's body, his eyes were still wide open, looking very scary.
"If I die, I can't go to heaven, am I destined to go to hell?" Thinking of this made Jack's fear of death stronger than before.
If both gods and demons exist, then it is not surprising that there is heaven and hell. However, Jack knew that now he had no choice but to go to the dark. After all, what is the enemy of God? Now he is not even sure whether he can survive. Isn't it a joke to think about this.
"Um?"
But at this moment, Jack suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Just now? Is Ruth's face facing this direction? It seems... it should be facing that direction..."
Before he could finish talking to himself, he felt a hand firmly holding his foot!
"Ahhhh!"
Following Jack's scream, Gao Ying, Qin Yexun and the others couldn't help turning their heads!
Ruth's body... and Jack, are gone!
"This..." Gao Ying's mind went blank, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go... let's run away!"
Then, the three quickly fled towards the outside of the prison area!
In the same place, only the "Bible" remained, lying alone on the ground.
Then, it became pitch black. In the darkness, the cross on the cover of the Bible also seemed to lose its brilliance.
Inside the prison corridor.
At this time, the three of them were running out of breath.
Dong Xie was still in shock at this time, he knew... If he chooses to become the "Devil Messenger", he will always live like this from now on. However, after the Gominik family became adopted sons, he has been repeating this horrible experience. He knew the reason why his mother left him in the Gominik family. Now... what is his future after losing the protection of the Gominik family
"Gao Ying..." Dong Xie took another breath, looked at Gao Ying, and said, "I... actually don't know what is the right choice."
In fact, Gao Ying was also shocked in his heart. He has no choice, but Dong Xie still has a choice.
"If you take this kind of test, your life will not be guaranteed."
Dong Xie naturally knew this too.
"Think carefully. In any case, you must make your own decision."
Speaking of this, Gao Ying looked behind him with lingering fear.
At the back of the dark prison passage, at this moment... there is silence...
