Chapter 57 ...
"Brother, what are we going to do?" Li You asked, confused. His brother turned around and smiled.
The older brother crouched down, accidentally touching his injury and hissing in pain. But he quickly adjusted his posture, patted his younger brother's head, and said, "I've found a god."
Li You was still somewhat confused. God?
The doctor found the scene jarring; he knew that what was about to happen was definitely not going to be anything good.
Looking at their faces, he knew that one of them was a god, and the other was a man with only one head whom he had just encountered.
I never expected they were brothers. They said what they went through was definitely not a good thing.
The scene before him filled him with a sense of nostalgia; it was so peaceful. He hadn't seen anything like it in a long time.
He had experienced the same thing a few years ago.
Clearly, the following developments will not change because he is watching from the sidelines, because he knows very well that this is just a memory.
This era is peaceful, and although the technology is somewhat backward, it is wonderful.
He knew this was probably 100 years ago, the era when they said the gods had fallen.
There were one or two short stories that told this tale before, but it has become distorted with the times.
This so-called god transformed into a majestic figure with clouds floating above his head and three pairs of wings behind him.
But in the middle of the spiritual energy revival, most people are still in the ordinary stage of human development, how could they really have become like this?!
The doctor's eyes widened in surprise.
This man had wings, was handsome, and stood about two or three meters tall, with magnificent proportions. A cloud grew on his head, clearly visible, stretching to the distant horizon, like a beautiful dream.
The doctor unconsciously drifted over, not because the person was particularly handsome, but because he fit the doctor's aesthetic standards.
The doctor looked at the man's face and found it really pleasing to the eye, very pleasing, for some reason. He looked like he was sleeping. And he was really big.
Wait, how did I float over here?
Before he could react, the world spun around him, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already entered the body of this so-called god.
He felt that "he" had woken up, or rather, he could perceive things, but was still asleep, like a child who was still lying in bed and didn't want to get up.
Then I heard two footsteps. My senses are really sharp.
The doctor felt that all his senses were now synchronized with the body, but he was not controlling the body.
That's normal; it's just a memory, and it can't change the facts no matter what.
Although his eyes were not open, he could sense the arrival of the two brothers.
The older brother picked up a book, opened it to a page, and then, as if carefully comparing it, said, "There's no mistake, this is the god we've been looking for!"
The younger brother was overjoyed, because it meant he wouldn't be beaten anymore, and it meant they were saved.
"Brother, let's quickly hand him over to Dad! We did it!" the younger brother exclaimed excitedly.
She grabbed her brother and prepared to run back, but suddenly...
The older brother pulled his younger brother back. "Younger brother... the sacrifice failed, which means that only we know about this god."
The younger brother turned around, and with just one look, he understood what the other was thinking.
"But what if we're discovered? We'll be beaten to death, won't we?"
The older brother hugged his younger brother tightly. "It's okay, little brother. We won't be found out. We can definitely escape. You'll help my little brother, right? We only have each other."
The younger brother was silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, older brother."
A few days later, the so-called god was kept in the cave.
The two of them painstakingly placed his body in what they considered a very hidden place.
They were hoping that this so-called god would wake up and save them from their suffering.
Days passed by.
The doctor looked inside the body and realized that the body's owner didn't seem to have fainted; it was more like he was simply resting, or rather... this was the most normal situation for him.
But having a body is the strange thing, it's like he's always observing the world through a layer of glass.
In that instant, he felt a sense of fear, an indescribable fear. It was like an insect encountering a gigantic creature.
It's like a snowman who was originally stuck in a crystal ball, suddenly realizing that its world is being confined in a crystal ball that is being observed by others.
There will be a tremendous sense of panic, an amplified feeling. It's indescribable, and it only lasts for a moment, like an illusion.
These past few days have been busy, watching the owner of this body watching a play with his two brothers.
This person speaks without thinking, saying whatever comes to mind, often going off-topic, as if unable to control their divergent thoughts.
This family of brothers is quite rare in modern society. They have faith and are surrounded by a group of believers, but they are abelievers.
Their father was very handsome. He had a crazy, eccentric personality, and they had no mother.
This place is like a large-scale religious gathering. Their father preaches here every day, speaking in a very formal and measured manner. Even though their father can't speak clearly, he is incredibly charismatic.
They were in a pitch-black room, the door, walls, and even the ceiling were all black, and the room was completely sealed off. The walls were covered with writing and drawings, which looked like children's scribbles, and at first glance, they were all absurd.
The two brothers were driven outside, but they were used to it. They were sacrifices, and they had heard that God was kind and would not harm his believers, so the two of them... could not be baptized.
The house was very soundproof; the two brothers standing outside couldn't hear a thing—not the incoherent ramblings or the weeping inside. When they came out, they would be ordinary people again. Inside, they were releasing their pent-up emotions; afterward, they might be a beggar or a homeless person, an ordinary office worker or a corporate elite, or perhaps…
At least they are equal at this moment.
Watching events unfold from afar, the doctor felt a sense of absurdity. He sensed the unreality of the entire world. He hadn't felt this way when he realized his world was nothing more than a novel for others to read, and that even the events were predetermined.
But now he is truly experiencing this sense of separation.
However, he felt that this was not the world of a novel. The world of a novel has its own rules and regulations, is full of constraints, has its own order, and has its own school of thought.
But everything in this world is still in its infancy, everything is like it's just beginning. This is not a novel, not a pre-defined world, it's just an idea.
Everyone in this world is searching for something very strange.
…Everyone, including his friends, seemed to need something to sustain them in order to survive.
We live in this world in a daze, but everyone has to pretend to be normal because we're still alive.
After everything was over, their father opened the door, and I saw the two brothers outside.
At this moment, their father seemed normal. He didn't say anything, like a stern father, and pulled them both forward by the hand.
The two brothers silently followed their father, and soon they entered their "home".
The heavy door slowly closed, and with the father's force, the last ray of light was completely shut off.
By the time everything was over, it was already evening. My brother was panting heavily, his body covered in bruises.
At this moment, the younger brother had no injuries. His father placed him on the bathtub and carefully poured water on him, gently massaging every part of his body.
The younger brother kept his head down, not daring to look in his older brother's direction, knowing that his brother was definitely looking at him with... definitely with that kind of gaze.
His father's eyes softened; at that moment, he seemed like a real father.
"Ah You, be a good boy/girl. We will soon see God. Then everything will be over, we will find the truth, and you will be able to see your mother. Aren't you happy?"
Li You didn't answer. He hesitated for a moment, then realized what was happening and tried to speak, but it was too late.
His father grabbed his hair and shoved him into the water.
"Why aren't you answering? Why won't you answer? Why?! Have you forgotten your mother? Don't you want to see God? Or do you also want to abandon me? Do you think I'm wrong?" His father was clearly so agitated, but his expression was calm, a calmness that sent chills down one's spine, even revealing a trace of compassion.
Li You quickly realized what was happening. Taking advantage of his father pulling him back, he forcefully pressed down on his nose and the discomfort of the water in his mouth, and said, "I'm so happy, so very happy! We'll definitely see God! Cough cough cough cough cough..."
Under such intense pressure, he even suppressed his cough, and only dared to cough after finishing that long string of words.
Sure enough, his father calmed down, but he wasn't as gentle as before. He still helped him bathe, dressed him, and then put him on the bed.
Then whisper "Goodnight" to him.
Upon hearing his father's voice, his eyes welled up with tears.
He missed his mother, who would say goodnight to him every night like that. Why didn't she take him with her? Why leave him here?
But it's okay, it will all end, right? Soon, as soon as that god awakens, he will tell us the answer, and then Father... should...
