Chapter 145 I am a child of God!

"Do you want to escape from here? Do you want to escape from your father?"

In the mirror, the old servant showed a terrifying smile, and his withered hands slowly grabbed Norn's shoulders.

It was unimaginably cold to the touch.

Seeing his father, who had been dead for many years, Norn felt no joy or warmth.

On the contrary, the fear of seeing ghosts, the fear of his father, surged up at this moment, condensed into a whirlpool, and tore his spirit apart.

Norn wanted to turn around and push the old servant away.

But he didn't dare to turn his head, didn't dare to turn around.

"Hey, what are you going to do..."

Norn asked tremblingly.

"That's a question for you, Norn."

The old servant's face became ferocious, and he asked:
"Where's your master? Norn, where's our master? Why didn't you follow them and serve them!?"

The old servant's questioning evokes the boy's long-lost memory. He thinks he has a firm will, but at this moment he collapses at the touch of a button.

"Ibia...the great master of Ibia...he is in prison."

Norn answered in horror.

For a moment, he imagined that the old servant would be satisfied and leave after getting the answer.

however…

The old servant's hand was like a sharp claw, grabbing Norn's neck.

"The master is in prison, the master is in prison, how dare you slave leave alone?!"

The old servant's voice was sharp and his voice was distorted.

Norn smelled a strong corpse stench.

"Come, come with me, Norn... Come with me to the master, you have to accompany the master, if he is thirsty, you will feed your blood, if he is hungry, you will feed him your meat."

The old servant tugged at Norn's neck and grasped it fiercely, and Norn felt shortness of breath.

The young man struggled to support his legs, never moving, let alone turning his head.

The old servant noticed something, a distorted smile appeared on his rotten face.

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling against me, Norn."

The old servant stared at his son fiercely,
"I am a slave to masters and masters, you are my son, you are my slave!

You slave of slaves, how dare you betray your master. "

"No, no...let me go..."

The norn cried out in terror.

But no one could hear his voice.

The old servant noticed something, and the withered hand grabbed the back of Norn's head.

"Turn back, Norn, turn around."

In the sharp voice of the ghost, Norn's rationality was disintegrating bit by bit.

Fear had taken over his soul, leaving no room for hope.

What the hell are you doing?
Norn trembled all over.

I am a slave, my father's son... Shouldn't I obey?

Why...why stand still?
Norn, what are you slave thinking about? !

In fear, the boy scolded himself angrily.

He should turn around and follow his father as a slave for the rest of his life.

The ghostly old servant caught Norn's wavering.

"Turn around...follow me, and we will go to the master of Ibia together to accept his domestication and his slavery."

The old servant's voice suddenly became gentle, as if he was persuading,

"Turn around, Norn...

As long as you turn around, I will give you a treasure that you never had before. "

Norn trembled and asked:

"What..."

Reflected in the mirror, the old servant smiled, that smile was extremely frightening.

"Father's love."

Norn froze completely.

Father's love...

As long as you look back and keep up with your father... you can have this father's love.

He is like a thirsty man who sees water.

Even though he knew it was a pool of stagnant water, he still flew up to it.

"Turn around and accept your father's hug."

The old servant let go of his neck and put it on Norn's shoulders.

Anyway...

I am just a slave, I am just a child of my father.

if only…

Turn around yourself.

Norn's head turned slowly, and he was about to turn his head away.

"Turn back...Father's love...that is the treasure you never had."

suddenly,
Norn stopped.

"Yeah... that's a treasure I never had..."

Norn whispered.

The old servant's words did not push him into the abyss of fear, on the contrary, after the words fell on his ears, the ashes of hope suddenly rekindled in his fearful heart.

Norn thought back to the day the servant died.

Until then, the old servant hadn't shown any trace of paternal love.

Norn felt Li Li's anger, and tears fell.

"turn out to be…"

"You never gave me fatherly love!"

The old servant was stunned. He felt that Norn's feet surged with strength, and no matter how much he pulled, they remained motionless.

His face was distorted and ferocious, and he said ruthlessly:
"My child, what are you going to do?!"

Norn didn't move, he stared at the old servant in the mirror.

The boy gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm not your child, never was!"

"Then who are you?! You are just a slave of the Ibia family, you are my slave, have you forgotten my gift to give birth to you?"

The old servant's body was crooked, the smell of corpses emerged, and his withered hands grabbed Norn's neck.

He wants to strangle Norn alive!
Norn's breathing became more and more labored, and he beat the old servant's arm hard.

"Then what are you?!"

The old servant roared, questioning his son with a distorted voice,
"You lowly slave, a humbler slave than me!"

"If you were not my child,"

"Then whose child are you?!"

Norn's neck was tightly strangled, as if the next second, he would be strangled alive here, becoming another lonely ghost.

As long as he turns his head, as long as he submits...he can get away with it.

The boy's face was in pain.

"I'm…"

Norn roared:
"I am a child of God!"

The hoarse roar fell, and in the mirror, the old servant's face showed extreme astonishment.

Norn looked at himself in the mirror, and he saw his eyes, and there was not a trace of surrender in those eyes.

The faith in those eyes will never change until death!
Suddenly, scenes of memories flashed in Norn's mind,
The old priest once told him that the blood of the Logos flowed in his body, and that those who lost their homeland were destined to find their faith.

I have already embarked on this road, how can I turn back?

I don't look back anymore.

With a firm mind,
The memory in my mind changes scene by scene,

Norn saw,

A stone slave boy who was beaten and scolded by his father all the year round, came to an abandoned temple one day, where the old priest told him about another god.

In the story of the old priest, love replaced slavery, and grace replaced scourging.

When he hesitated before the faith, the old priest just told him:

【"When you suddenly look back, you will find that all the coincidences in the dark are God's arrangements for your faith."】

Norn ignored the old servant in the mirror.

The boy only looked at himself in the mirror.

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

"turn out to be…"

"I am arranged by God!"
