Chapter 418 Cain
Touch the stele?
Lord twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the pitch-black stele, feeling a little reluctant.
After all, according to the normal situation, there are probably pitfalls in this kind of thing, and touching it rashly is not the best choice.
The key problem, however, is that he has no other choice now.
Looking at the indifferent man's appearance, he probably won't be able to translate the contents of the stele for him, so if he wants to know the truth about the brokenness of heaven and hell, he must touch this stele and listen to someone's nonsense!
Believe it or not, it doesn't matter.
Importantly, it's worth the risk.
If he wants to become the Spirit King and rebuild the Three Realms, he must find out the truth about the broken heaven and hell!
Lord took a deep breath, then took off the Zanpakutō and put it aside.
The advantage of doing this is that if something unexpected happens later, you can use the power of Guancanghai to get out of the siege, which can be regarded as a backhand left behind.
After finishing all this, Lord put his hand on the stele.
hum!
The pitch-black stele trembled slightly, as if sensing the arrival of the prophesied person.
The Akkadian inscriptions engraved on the stone tablet are emitting a faint blue light at this moment, flickering rhythmically like breathing, and then emitting a strange force, which is transmitted along the inscription on the stone tablet and gradually spreads To Lord's whole body.
The next moment, it was pitch black.
The ensuing change is that the center of gravity of the whole body sinks instantly, as if falling into an endless abyss, constantly falling...falling...falling...
Hazy, unexamined.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was only a moment. Suddenly, Lord seemed to hear someone talking in the distance.
The man's voice was old and full of tiredness, and the tone seemed to be reprimanding someone, but it was blurry because it was too far away.
"flower......"
"Atonement..."
"Double Holy Tree..."
"Stop...them..."
Lord pricked up his ears to hear clearly, but his whole body was in chaos, which made it impossible for him to concentrate, let alone listen to that person.
finally.
When all the sounds suddenly disappeared, and the entire space returned to silence, darkness and nothingness were the only elements, and when everything was gone, a strange picture was directly imprinted in Lord's mind.
It was a 'flower' with a root as black as ink, rooted in the boundless abyss, growing between the stars and the galaxy, and the petals bloomed like garlic cloves, bright red.
...
...
...
I don't know how long has passed.
Lord woke up slowly, slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was still in the temple, and the surroundings were still the same as before.
Lord's consciousness was still a little fuzzy, and he rubbed his temples and asked, "How long have I... slept?"
"not long."
The indifferent man sat cross-legged by the door, noticed Lord's originally calm breath, and after a moment of confusion, he said, "If calculated by human timing, it's about exactly fifteen sunsets."
fifteen days? !
Hearing this, Lord's pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.
He didn't expect that the pitch-black stele was so strange that he fell into a deep sleep for so long without realizing it, and it felt like only a moment had passed.
I saw the indifferent man put his hands on the ground, slowly got up, made a gesture of asking, and said indifferently: "Since you have seen the stele, please leave here and don't disturb the peace in this ruins." .”
Hearing this, Lord suddenly lost his temper, stared at the indifferent man and said: "You told me that as long as I touch the stone tablet, I can know the [truth] I want, but I touched the stone tablet, but Still don’t know anything, how to calculate this account?”
"No, you already know."
Unexpectedly, the indifferent man shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said: "All the [truth] about that battle is now sealed in the depths of your memory, and it will emerge little by little in the future."
"Why later?"
Lord narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled by this behavior: "Since you have already decided to tell me, why do you need to do anything extra and seal it deep in my memory?"
The indifferent man was suddenly silent for a few seconds.
It's just that Lord noticed that in his pair of sea-like, deep and sad sky-blue eyes, there was a very obscure expression of suffering that could not be expressed, and said in a low voice: "Some things... .Until the time is right, don’t say, don’t think, don’t read, do you understand what I mean?”
"what do you mean......"
Lord's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes flickered wildly.
Seeing the indifferent man's silent and extremely cautious expression, combined with the stele painting in the temple before, he seemed to have guessed the reason vaguely, and his heart couldn't help but thumped wildly.
The indifferent man put up a finger, pressed it to his lips to signal silence, and said, "I guessed it, don't think about it, don't read it, don't say it, just pretend that nothing happened, and walk along your path until At the end, you will naturally know the answer."
"I have another question..."
Lord no longer entangled in the answer to the question, but instead asked about the flower in his mind: "Do you know... what [flower] is?"
".......I know."
The indifferent man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But I can't tell you yet, I can only say...it's very important, even the cause of that great war was because of it."
"I understand what you mean."
Lord sighed, it seemed that this question could not be answered, and he said a little helplessly: "I have one last question, who are you, you can always tell me this?"
"I thought you had already guessed it." The indifferent man looked at Lord in surprise.
"Sorry, I can't guess."
Lord twitched his lips, shook his hands, and said, "What I hate most in my life is guessing games, so please tell me directly."
"Well, it's my fault."
The indifferent man let out a long sigh, as if trying to calm down some emotion, after a few seconds of silence, he said slowly: "I...was born at the beginning of human beings, the son of Adam and Eve."
"Because he was jealous of his biological brother, he committed the earliest crime of murder in mankind."
"Then I was expelled from the Garden of Eden by God. Since then, I have been wandering in the world, bearing the sin of killing my brother, and being rejected by all things in the world. Wherever I step on the land, any life will wither. Whoever kills me will suffer seven times. report."
"My name is... Cain."
Cain narrated the story in a calm tone, while taking off the ancient linen clothes with both hands.
As the ancient linen clothing fell to the ground, Cain revealed his entire upper body.I saw that his upper limbs, lower limbs, spine and shoulder blades were all replaced by the material similar to the cast bronze door, and there was an Akkadian symbol between his eyebrows, which was exactly the same as the one carved on the bronze door!
"Now, you know it."
When everything was revealed, Cain's deep and peaceful eyes showed an indelible sadness: "I am a person cursed by God, burdened with a heavy crime of murder, and I stay here just to atone for my sin."
