While Jenkins is certainly tasty, it's also odd to compare him to a "bun".
Hathaway didn't know what she should be thinking about at this moment, and she never thought that the person beside her would be a "god". Even the most insane person would not conceive of it this way.
Suddenly, the whole world seems to be unreal. The vortex engulfed Hathaway, preventing her from concentrating on what she should think about:
"If he is a god, I hug him..."
She felt herself trembling.
"If he is God, I make a marriage contract with him..."
The panic that emerged from the depths of his soul caused his own spirit to riot.
"If he is a god, I'm going to bed with him..."
A feeling that the whole world is false made Hathaway begin to doubt whether everything at this moment was real. The truth of the memories, everything from the memoirs, were so false that she panicked from the bottom of her heart. But the temperature of Jenkins' palm and the extremely hostile eyes of the cat on the side made her barely wake up from her thoughts, and looked up at Jenkins:
"How do you prove it?"
It is indeed difficult to prove that you are a god without divinity, but if you can't even prove this, then the god of lies is too ridiculous.
He nodded:
"Watch me, Hathaway."
he said, and Hathaway looked up at him. Jenkins let go of Hathaway's hand, his body fell back naturally, and his soul continued to look at Hathaway.
Hathaway saw it, and she saw a more terrifying existence than the moment when she looked behind the brass door a few hours ago (Note). She closed her eyes, not thinking about what she saw, but trying to imagine that what she was facing was a piece of bread that she had bitten into, and the bread was very delicious.
This kind of taboo and pleasant thought dispelled the trembling in his heart. It took her a long time to open her eyes, and what she saw was no longer him, but Jenkins. Although the existence just now was terrifying, there was indeed a familiar feeling, it was indeed him, it was indeed Him.
"Did you see? I am the God of Lies, not the container of the God of Lies. Every time the God of Lies appears, I actually appear. Yes, every time, what you know and what you don't know... Of course, the new God The God of Lies is real, I don’t use lies to make others think I’m powerful... I can only recover the God of Lies under special circumstances, and I’m not the God of Lies all the time.”
He explained his situation, and then saw a little emptiness in Hathaway's eyes.
Jenkins was a little panicked whether it was this fact that hit Hathaway's mind, but he didn't expect that she would wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him.
"Only in this way can I feel that you are real."
When the two separated, Hathaway said softly. She was a little abnormal at the moment, even if she didn't continue to kiss him, she still used another Jenkins creepy movement, sliding her fingertips on Jenkins' face.
"Am I not real?"
He asked nervously in a low voice.
"How do you want me to believe that I am going to marry a god?"
Their faces were so close that Jenkins could even count Hathaway's eyelashes. He could see Hathaway's confusion, panic, and panic, and he could also see that the other party seemed to be looking at him with the eyes of Bun. Jenkins blamed this on the fact that he really couldn't read the girls' hearts.
"Is it important whether I am a god? The important thing is that I liked you when I was a mortal, yes, I liked you when I was a mortal. When I stand in the mortal world and look at you, you are my sweetheart , when I leap into the sky and look at you as a god, you are still my fiancée."
She began to gasp for breath again, but quickly calmed down her emotions. I told myself again from the bottom of my heart that "the man in front of me is a god", and panic emerged again, causing goosebumps to appear on the surface of the body, but the extreme panic has already been experienced when accepting all this. What I think about now is more things.
People in this world grew up in a theistic environment, and the theism in this world is still correct. The respect and reverence for the gods is rooted in their hearts with the maturity of their psychology and the establishment of the Three Views. Except for the very few exceptions like Alexia in an era, most people here have a feeling for God that Jenkins can't understand.
Seeing that Hathaway gradually calmed down, Jenkins said again:
"In fact, such things have not happened before. I heard that in very ancient times, the church would choose young, beautiful or handsome mortals to sacrifice to the gods as servants to serve the gods."
"But that only happens in very few churches of false gods, and, do you really think that the gods will come to the material world in person and marry those mortals who serve the gods?"
Hathaway asked, still running her fingertips across Jenkins' face.
"Are you really a god?"
She asked again tirelessly.
"Yes, at least in the case of divinity, I am really a god."
Hathaway closed her eyes again, cupping Jenkins' face in the palms of both hands. She took it, and it was difficult, but she really took it.
Whether it was the bread she wanted or not, after all, she had already tasted the sweetness of it. No matter what you're holding...
She pressed her hand slightly, feeling the details of Jenkins' face and the touch of his skin.
As long as the bread in her hands is still hers, as long as she holds the bread tightly, the sweetness squeezed out of it can still bring her soul trembling nourishment, then this piece of bread guarded by the cat will never be let go by her (Note).
She moaned softly, hugged Jenkins, and fell on his chest. Jenkins took this opportunity to explain the current situation in a low voice, talking about his relationship with the previous god of lies, and talking about being a believer in lies The life with the only savior, talked about future plans, and also talked about the negotiation that is currently doing its best.
Hathaway listened quietly, and did not ask him whether he was really a god. It was only after Jenkins finished talking about everything that he asked softly:
"So, God, will you leave us?"
"Of course not. When I have to leave the material world, you will all leave with me as my angels and holy spirits. This is something I have thought about a long time ago, and there will be no problem."
He nodded seriously, and Hathaway hugged him even harder, as if he would grow wings the next moment and take his cat away forever.
"So, Jenkins, where's your cat? After a long time, where's your cat?"
she asked again, as if to reassure herself by letting go of the last piece of the puzzle.
Only then did Jenkins look at Chocolate. The cat was lying on the sofa, looking at him with a very frustrated expression that almost had sadness written on its face. He immediately separated from Hathaway, and hugged the chocolate to comfort him:
"Of course we leave with us. Animals can also become holy spirits. As long as I defeat the Difference Engine and save the world, everything will go according to my arrangement."
Hathaway couldn't help but smile when thinking of the chocolate growing white feather wings and flying in the sky. But thinking about what he asked Alexia about chocolate at the reception not long ago, he wondered whether he should tell Jenkins.
Although Alexia asked her to keep it a secret for the time being, it was best for Jenkins not to know now. But Jenkins had been completely honest about her secret, and she didn't want to hide anything else from him.
"Jenkins..."
When the words came to his lips, he saw Jenkins looking at the cat with a soft smile on his face. He immediately understood in his heart, knowing the truth, the fact that the cat appeared beside him, would be a big blow to him.
Alexia is right, Jenkins actually has a very serious psychological problem, especially after knowing his secret today, that terrible secret, he understands that Jenkins, who has been carrying all this alone for so long, will have What a psychological pressure.
"What's wrong?"
Jenkins looked up.
Hathaway swallowed back what she was about to say, this is not a good opportunity.
"I still can't accept it. I know that what you said is probably true, but it's really hard to accept. It's really hard."
"You'll have time to accept it, I'm sure you will, and don't tell Britney."
"Of course I know."
Hathaway nodded, and then imagined Britney knowing that Jenkins was a god:
"You are such a maddening man."
"This description...is very strange."
"I feel weird now too. My future husband is a god, and he's going to save the world... Speaking of which, who else knows that except me?"
After returning to normal thinking, the ladies always get to the point so quickly.
"If you say that you clearly know about this..."
He was thinking about the possible consequences of his answer:
"Only Alexia clearly knows."
"It's not surprising. The calmness and wisdom shown by that lady may indeed make her the first to discover the truth."
Hathaway showed no unusual emotions, so Jenkins added:
"Actually, she didn't discover it... She is actually on the road to becoming a god. It's not me saving the world like this, but really relying on myself to understand the world, complement the world, create new rules, and sublimate myself to become a god." .
Do you still remember what happened in Night Manor not long ago? It was the time when you and your friends were trapped, didn't I appear as the god of lies
At that time, I made Alexia my saint's possession, and used her body to use the power of God, so that she could feel what God is. It was a brief experience of the process of becoming a god, and it also let her know that I am the god of lies.
Alexia is very talented, I think, with my help, sooner or later she will be able to truly become a god with a mortal body. "
"?"
Hathaway looked up at him, showing that confusion and panic again, but quickly returned to normal:
"Well, please be honest with me. Jenkins, besides me, is everyone else in our family really normal?"
PS1: The soul form she saw was of course Jenkin, but she didn't question the difference between the soul and the body, because the soul was much higher than Hathaway, and what Hathaway saw was not Jenkin's original appearance, but similar The "indescribable things" that mortals see with their own eyes. And because of the characteristics of the God of Lies, and her familiarity with Jenkins (and she has never touched the soul of Jenkins' original owner), she discovered that the soul is not Jenkins' appearance, but she took it for granted.
In the future, it will no longer be mentioned that the ladies around Jenkins found that his soul is different from his body, but they did not raise any objections, acquiescing that everyone thinks it should be so.
PS2: It refers to love. After reading it, the author feels that there may be ambiguity, but here it is really just about love.
PS3: The three chapters of "The Last Confession" were written with exhaustion. In the past, the big plots at the end of the chapters were not so tiring. I hope you are satisfied.
