Shouldn't childhood memories bring a sweet taste

Running carefree, crying to buy things, looking forward to measuring your height against the wall.

What if... childhood memories bring only horror, fear, sorrow and anger.

Then it may be a very lucky thing to leave it in a corner of the subconscious.

At this moment, Gu Jun looked at the mysterious scene of the phantom, and some scattered memory fragments poured out from the dusty corner, like a long-lost nightmare once again invaded the dream, disturbing the illusory peace of the dreamer .

He saw himself when he was very young, when he was still babbling and toddling.

At that time, he was already receiving some weird and inexplicable training. Around him, there are some other children. He and everyone are looking at the pictures, which are all kinds of big trees with strange shapes, dense vines, twisted branches, and luxuriant dead leaves...

These pictures planted seeds of ignorance in their young and blank hearts.

That seed grows in the end... the fruit of darkness

When they get older, they can walk and run, talk and think...

Gu Jun suddenly found that his surroundings had become nothingness, and he was the only one standing there among all kinds of strange trees. He had already forgotten the faces of the other children, and he couldn't remember them. It seemed that they had never seen each other after they were separated.

He is special.

The eyes of many people told him this, joy, expectation, and curiosity.

There is always a kind of fanaticism in all forms of eyes, just like looking at an amazing treasure, just like his mother's fanaticism.

Was that woman really his mother? It was the first time that Gu Jun had such doubts, but it was only doubts. Because the tenderness of a woman telling a story to coax him to sleep, the smile when feeding him, the fear when she saw him fall... are all true, and they are the feelings of a mother. He is sure.

But how can a mother treat her child like this

It was the same woman who asked him to scribble the names of the patterns on the drawing paper and write all the variants.

It was also this woman who put on the crown made of intertwined banyan branches, leaves and fibrous roots for him, "Xiaojun, just sit there and don't move." She said, her voice was tense and complicated, she was hesitating Are you still sad

But obviously, in the end, the fanaticism prevailed, like a great experiment is about to usher in a great result...

She couldn't give up on this result.

The experiment started when the mother was pregnant. Gu Jun felt that those hazy antenatal music and whispers were also looming in the depths of the implicit memory.

He is an experimental product of the afterlife, and he has been like this since before he came to this world.

But the question is, what kind of creature is he

The image of the phantom was shaking, like some blurry cracks were spreading, but Gu Jun could still see that scene.

That icy voice made the dark sky seem to be collapsing, those men in black and red were still kneeling towards the banyan tree, they didn't dare to raise their heads even to look at the hole of the banyan tree ahead. It seems that even with a glance, something terrible can happen.

Just like Orpheus went down the Styx to save his beloved wife Eurydice, Pluto told them not to look back when they left, but before returning to the gate of the world, Orpheus couldn't help but look back at his wife One glance, but let his wife stay in hell forever.

It is also like when Abraham and his wife fled Sodom, which was destroyed by the gods, Abraham's wife looked back and instantly turned into a pillar of salt.

You must not see what God has not allowed you to see.

Mortals, do not tempt God.

"Son of Doom, as you said." The man in red kneeling at the front said in an extremely humble voice. The muddy and rotten ground gave off a stench, but that ugly face seemed to be against the last The most fragrant of heavenly places.

"We are a bunch of filthy, ignorant, vile worms, abandoned believers of the so-called 'Goddess of Life'..."

Every one of the kneeling personnel made a sound of hatred from gnashing of teeth, like the hoarse whimpering of a beast at the end of the road.

Goddess of life? Gu Jun once read it in Rabdi Peyani's diary, which is a god revered by that foreign civilization.

Abandoned believers... Are these members of the Afterlife Society speaking as aliens

Do you think that you are the afterlife of a foreigner

"The old world has been destroyed. We were born into this world, but we lost our power. Our power is our words, but now we can't even recognize a single word." The man in red whispered , the body trembled a little: "But we still remember the promise that the true God bestowed upon us..."

Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. In his next life, he really didn't know about the existence of those blueprints in different scripts, and his parents hid them secretly.

No matter what it is, parents have different plans for the next life... maybe, maybe...

"Inferior life." The child in the banyan tree cave uttered a strange and emotionless voice: "Inferior wishes."

After receiving this contemptuous response, everyone trembled in confusion, and the man in red's voice sank a bit: "Is this body not satisfying you? So he can't accept our power? Is it necessary to... take it?" He performed a blood sacrifice?"

The child did not speak, but the silence may also be a response. The man in red murmured: "This child is a sacrifice, the beginning of bad luck..."

"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice..." The other men in black and red clothes murmured together.

At this moment, Gu Jun felt that he had a splitting headache and everything was in a distorted state, but he also felt a flame burning in his heart...

All the complicated emotions gathered together and rushed out.

Suddenly, he yelled out—

Is the past real

Why does the double slit experiment in quantum mechanics show that the future can change the past

Following his shout, the dark sky finally collapsed, thunder rumbled, and torrential rain fell to the ground. The voice of the child in the banyan tree cave became more frenzied and distorted, as if two voices were twisted together, making people crazy and trembling.

"This child is the chosen one." The child said solemnly, "I won't allow you and other lowly animals to touch him."

Those men in black and red trembled slightly, but still did not dare to look up.

They also didn't see that the child's eyes became brighter, like a flame burning in the dark abyss.

"This kid will thrive and become a real man. Don't bother him, don't offend him, let him forget about it. But one day in the future, this kid will stand in front of you again."

The children in the banyan tree cave spoke in a distorted and natural way. This conversation has been the same in the past, present and future, with no more words and no less words.

"At that time, all debts will be liquidated. This is my oath to you."

Gu Jun was also talking, pausing every word, and the last sentence was said in his heart: When the time comes, it will be your doomsday.

The whole gigantic banyan tree swayed in the storm, making a rustling and hoarse sound.

And those believers kneeling on the ground made indescribable fanatical voices, promising the oath bestowed by the gods.
