Journey to Salvation from Chaldea

This is the age of war.

Everywhere there was struggle, and people's bodies were tragically discarded, without exception.It is common for people in weak villages to be massacred by strong people. It doesn't matter who kills who. There is no good or evil on the battlefield, and some people just die and rescue a few people.

Hearing that there is a struggle, go to that place.Hearing that there is a rebellion, go to that village.There are times when you catch up, and there are times when you are one step behind.But no matter what, the result is the same.The hill of dead bodies is the prepared ending.

Human beings are things that cannot resist death.

There are women who cry and die and pray that their children will live another day, and there are children who cry and die.

Death strikes without reason.A life that continues to do good deeds becomes meaningless in the face of death.There is nothing a person can do, and if he tries to resist, he will die even worse.

Even so, the man traveled all over the country to save lives.What came into view was only a scorched field.

They cannot be saved, humanity is not redeemed.In religion, the salvation of man is impossible, and the reason is that man is not to be saved, but to be brought to an end.

Despair is superimposed on despair, yesterday's sigh fades away in the thicker today's sigh, facing the overwhelming number of repeated deaths, a man realizes his own insignificance.

He can't save anyone.

Since they cannot be saved, at least their deaths must be clearly recorded.Preserve the life so far and the life waiting for the future.That pain, the man decided to keep it going.He believes that the evidence of life is not how to pursue happiness, because the meaning of life is to experience pain.

And so men began, collecting death.

When she opened her eyes again, Araya Zongren found herself lying in the ruins, unable to move her body.All he could see was the starry sky, the man standing beside him, and the broken human brains in his peripheral vision.Those things used to be located in his room in the underground parking lot, and they were the core supporting his experiments, but now they are all destroyed.

"How do you feel?" Yue Ye found a place that could barely be called clean and sat down, "Ah, I forgot, you are already speechless."

Araya Soren's origin is static.He relied on his own origin to fix his soul, allowing him to keep changing his body to live.But once his origin is destroyed, the decayed soul will quickly dissipate.The reason why he is still conscious now is only because his current body still exists here.With this cage that locks the soul, he can still retain the basic five senses.

"Well, that's right, that's what you're looking for, and it's also the end of the girl named Two Ceremonies, which can only be approached infinitely but never reaches." Yue Ye said softly, "That's the root cause, which is what you've been looking for all your life. The ultimate 'nothing'."

Araya Soren couldn't speak, but his eyes conveyed his feelings: "Why?"

"You mean why is it like that?" Yue Ye thought for a while, then shook her head lightly, "I don't know either. Maybe it's a miracle that the incarnation of the root has become my lover? Arya, the world is not People who are made of simple rationality and want to find the ultimate answer with a single rationality will eventually hit a wall. You need to admit that it is countless miracles and accidents that support our current world. Whether it is luck or fate , no matter what the word is used to call it, this world always needs some emotional things. Emotional fluctuations, you need to take this into consideration. The reason why I am hostile to you is just because of my concern for that girl And that insignificant so-called compassion. You see, what defeats you in the end is nothing but feelings that seem extremely boring to you."

The will to never admit defeat and strong anger appeared in Araya Soren's eyes.After Yue Ye saw it, she laughed instead: "I knew you wouldn't admit defeat. It doesn't matter, whether you win or lose is just the result of being judged by others or yourself. Of course, you have good reasons not to admit defeat. However, you have to plead guilty It's a big sin to lose your humanity as a human being. I don't have her kindness to let you disappear, Araya. I will grant immortality to your body, so reflect on yourself in this cage."

Yue Ye stretched out her hand, and a light shot out from her fingertips.It wrapped around Ren Araya's body and sank into the ground bit by bit.The crystallization of civilization has turned Araya Soren's body into a cage that is extremely difficult to destroy from a physical point of view. His soul can only be imprisoned in the body forever, motionless, in the forgotten [-]-meter-deep soil. You can't live, you can't die.

In a daze, he remembered the conversation he had with Aoqi Chengzi.

"Ara, what are you after?"

"True wisdom."

"Ara, where are you pursuing?"

"Only in my own heart."

"Ara, where is your goal?"

"You already knew that it is the end of this contradictory spiral—"

In fact, this is the end.

Could it be, am I really wrong?

With the last consciousness, the existence named Araya Soren fell into the abyss of darkness.

"Hey, is it really all right?" I was thinking wildly, "Puppets, magic, familiars, what have I experienced tonight! Besides, why is there still a traffic jam after nine o'clock in the evening!"

I looked at the pile of matchboxes in front of me anxiously, but the taxi driver didn't care.He sat in the driver's seat, humming leisurely.Listening to the lyrics, it is probably a song about cherry blossoms and family.

It's obviously a relaxing tune, but it makes me feel even more irritable.Family, family, what family do I have?I'm just a puppet, the real rouge has turned into a rotten mummy!

I put my hands in my pockets roughly, intending to look at the scenery outside the window—although the scenery remained unchanged due to the traffic jam.

Suddenly, my fingers touched a piece of paper, not the touch of ten thousand yuan bills.I took it out, it was a note from Mr. Yue Ye.There is a handwritten address on the note, which seems to be a certain distance from where I am now.

"I've got nowhere to go anyway, have I?"

I sighed somewhat resignedly, then stopped the driver and asked him to divert to the address on the note.After nearly an hour's drive, I finally got off at a strange place.

That town is a quiet residential area away from the noisy city center, with only two small supermarkets around it, lonely but lively.I stopped at a tram stop, looked at the map in front of the station, and then walked.

After walking for a few minutes, only the quiet home after dinner was left around.The road was very dark, and the street lamps were in disrepair, maintaining their functions with light that seemed to be extinguished in the next second.

Narrow roads, narrow overpasses, wild dogs in the garbage dump gathered like homeless people, it looks very vulgar.

But I felt an eerie sense of familiarity.

Relying on asking passers-by and identifying street signs, I went round and round to the address on the note.As I turned the corner, I felt dizzy.

I saw a house, a small one-story house.

More than half of the door of the house has decayed, the garden is very desolate, the weeds growing have eroded the walls of the house, and the paint is peeling everywhere. It is not so much a house as an old dog that has fallen down from exhaustion.How long has it been since it was uninhabited?This is no longer a house, but just a ruin.

I couldn't make a sound, so I could only stare at the ruins.Unknowingly cried out.I'm obviously not sad or regretful, but I just can't stop crying.I don't know this thing, nor have I seen it.

However, Soul remembers, Yan Tiaoba will never forget.Even though I grew up and gave up, Ba still remembers this place: my home of...

In the place where I lived before I was eight years old, I have long since forgotten every day of memory.

I have only painful memories of home.

My father, who took it out on me when he couldn't work, was a tyrant at home, and my mother was a puppet who could only say yes to my father.I have neither enough food nor warm clothes.For me, parents are just a burden, completely dispensable.

Obviously, it should be a trivial matter, but why——I'm crying like this?

Numbness of the senses, inability to move, never felt so sad when seeing the bones of my parents... Yes, it was more of a shock at that time, but now, I am very sad, I seem to have forgotten something very important.

"I forgot... what?"

Saying that, I stepped into the courtyard of the ruins.

The garden is very narrow, is it just right for a family of three with children?But now that I am an adult, I feel that the courtyard is much narrower than when I was a child.

I remember this courtyard.

I remember my father smiling happily and stroking my head with his hand.

I remember my gentle mother smiling happily and watching me leave.

It is unbelievable that I have had that kind of dream-like happiness.I used to have the kind of happiness that is taken for granted.

"bar."

A voice sounded, and I looked back, and there was a young man with a sharp face standing there.

"I want to ask you to keep something very important, come here for a while."

The little child ran to the young man's feet.It was a girl-like child with red hair.

"Dad, what is this?"

"This is the key to the house. Take it carefully and don't lose it! Because Ba is also a boy, you must use that to protect your mother."

"Protected with a key?"

"That's right, the key to the family is an important item to protect the family. Not only can the doors and windows be locked, but even if parents are away, it's okay? The key is the evidence of the family."

How much did the young child understand what his father said?But the child still held the key tightly, looked up and said: "Well, I know. I will take good care of it. Don't worry, Dad, I will protect the house. Even if I am alone, I will do it well!"

I suddenly lost strength on my feet and fell to the ground in the courtyard.Memories of the past are vividly engraved in my mind, and my current body cannot move smoothly.

That's right, for me, the house key is something to protect the family, it's a proof of the family, it's like a treasure.

But that family was destroyed, and there was nothing left of the past.I curse it because the present is too harsh to forget the past.

It was a memory from when the family was peaceful.A gentle mother, a proud father, and a parent who puts their children's growth first.It's real, it really existed, and I, who lost it just because it took a while, thought it was fake, so stupid.

Obviously the parents are so gentle.

Obviously the world looks so dazzling.

Obviously they are the victims.

And I, who forgot about these things——took the real victim as the perpetrator and escaped.

My father was persecuted by his surroundings, and he couldn't work if he wanted to.My mother was always bad-mouthed at the work place, but she endured and continued to work.For these two, their son Bar is the only salvation.

After I came back from work, my mother must be waiting for me. Although my mother wanted to say something, I didn't want to listen to my parents' voices, but kept my back to them.Obviously I am not the only one who has worked hard, my mother must have worked harder than me.

She had nothing to talk to, was beaten by her father, and just worked quietly.Of course it's only natural that her heart would break, I——if I had looked back, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

Trembling, I reached into my pocket, took out the plain piece of metal, and held it up in front of my eyes.The cold key was quickly warmed by my body temperature, but the momentary coolness was extremely biting.

"...I'm... so stupid..."

The tears couldn't stop, I covered my face and wept.

Mr. Yue Ye, is this your purpose?

There was that gentle smiling face in front of my eyes again.Ha... He is obviously a man, why is he more delicate than a woman in observing emotions.

"Yueye, who are you wearing this black suit for?"

The question that Ms. Aozaki asked before departure appeared in my mind again.

"It turns out that it was for me to wear... that's right... the past rouge has been buried..."

I barely stood up.Although I doubt whether I can run with this leg now, I must run now, and it's time to act.

I took a deep breath, and my parents' voice seemed to appear in my ears again:

"Run! Ba! Well done, as expected of my son!"

"How fast my son is. Mama's proud of you, boo."

The heart that had been sluggish for a long time seemed to be pumping fiercely again, like an engine running at full speed.I seem to be back to the state of my childhood——

When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to the ranch to watch the horses.Looking at the horse whose name I don't even know, I started to cry, and the figure running desperately made my tears flow out of my eyes uncontrollably.If people really had past lives, I would probably be a horse.

I run.

###Chapter 360 His Future###

When Aoqi Chengzi rushed to Ogawa's apartment with a large suitcase big enough for a person, what she saw was the ruins of the building and the moonlit night when she sat on it and watched the stars.She pinched the center of her eyebrows with some headache: "What did you do..."

"I didn't expect Araya to connect himself with this building." Yue Ye stood up and jumped down from the ruins lightly, "It's exactly what I guessed, No. 10086 Cangzaki Orange."

"What the hell is this called? How could I have died so many times, bastard!" Aoqi Chengzi patted Yue Ye's shoulder heavily, "But the building has become like this, it seems that Araya was also solved by you right?"

"Well. He was dealt with forever." Yue Ye nodded, "But then again, you didn't really hear what I said at that time, did you? Can you hear what I said clearly when there is only one head left? You are worthy of being the crown puppet master."

"That's ridiculous." Aozaki Chengzi said lightly, "Where's Cornelus?"

"Here, it's in the trash can over there." Yue Ye pointed her finger, "What do you want him for? Araya seems to have said that Aruba said something that shouldn't be said. Let me think about it... Could it be pain? Of……"

Cang Qi Chengzi glared at Yue Ye with very sharp eyes, and Yue Ye quickly took back the second half of the word.Cang Qi Chengzi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "This is the rule I set before, anyone who dares to call me by that name will die."

"It's scary." Yue Ye pretended to take a step back, "That's why you brought this box?"

"I was going to fight at first." Cang Qi Chengzi shrugged, "Ariya is a rather troublesome person, let alone this is his home field, but I didn't expect him to lose so thoroughly."

"Then your box only has one function left." Yue Ye shrugged and pointed her the way again, "The trash can over there... oops, crawled out."

Cang Qi Chengzi followed Yue Ye's fingers and saw a figure crawling towards the outside of the trash can.She took the box and walked quickly to the trash can, and put it at her feet with a "bang".Even if the oversized suitcase fell down, its appearance and shape remained unchanged.That almost cube-like suitcase seemed to contain something very extraordinary.

"It's so ugly, Cornelius." Aozaki Chengzi showed a contemptuous smile, "However, Yue Ye is showing mercy, right? Or did he deliberately give you a crueler ending?"

"That guy... what is it..." Aruba gasped with his armpit stuck on the edge of the large dumpster.His body had been destroyed beyond recognition, and he couldn't move anymore.

"You mean Yue Ye? He is my friend, he is a magician from China." Cang Qi Chengzi said, "At least on the surface. I don't bother to explore deeper things, after all, I have It's not the Aozaki orange from the academy days."

"Arara... did he lie to me... He clearly told me that you were killed by him..."

"Ah, almost." Canozaki Chengzi said, "It's okay to say that he was killed. After all, there was only one head left at that time. It really doesn't have the qualifications to be called life."

"Then you...why..."
