Chapter 008 Despicable Outsider
His face is blurry in my memory, but the emotions that arise from my heart are so overwhelming.
Rong Le lowered her eyes and covered her chest.
He thought thoughtfully, and then agreed to Kurosawa's hypnosis, using him to recall more memories. Although this method was effective, it was somewhat passive.
After all, from this memory, we can see that his past was indeed not a good memory.
Who are you?
What kind of entanglement exists between us, and what role does this person play in his memories?
His past is shrouded in mist, waiting for him to unveil the mystery step by step.
He followed Kurosawa's guidance and recalled many things.
He was born into an ordinary aristocratic family, inheriting a small title from generation to generation, and he was the only child of his parents.
He was born with a smart mind and was good at reading books and gaining knowledge from them. Although he was not the strongest one, he could always make people run around in circles.
The upper class at that time was very devout in their belief in God and went to church regularly every week to attend services, and so did their parents.
After returning from church, they would often gently stroke his head and tell him that when he grew up a little, he could go to church with them.
“Does God really exist in this world?”
He asked his parents while tugging at the edge of his shorts.
My parents said that God is everywhere and as long as we believe in Him, He will bless His believers and give them strength.
This was an area he had never touched before, new things and new knowledge.
Soon, he was able to attend church this week with his parents as he wished.
"Holy Spirit bless you."
The church, which I once just passed by from afar, now looks like a grand and sacred auditorium. The carriages of the upper class are parked at the door, and the nobles are chatting in low voices in the quiet atmosphere.
He was also infected by the atmosphere and after entering, he sat quietly on the bench waiting for the show to start.
He was very serious throughout the whole process, and even until the child ran out of energy and began to feel drowsy, he felt that everything was just normal.
But he soon learned bad news.
After the meeting, everyone left one after another, but his parents were left behind by the church's bishop.
"Your child seems to have good talent. He will definitely be a child blessed by God. He can come to live in the church, and we will teach him to become even better and more outstanding."
My parents were very surprised. For them, being chosen by the church was a great honor. They quickly said, "We do!"
The middle-aged bishop patted his head. Rong Le squinted his eyes listlessly and did not listen to the conversation of the adults.
In this way, Rong Le was sent into church life without knowing what was going on.
The moment he was taken away from his parents, he was frightened and wanted to return to them. However, his parents, who had always loved him very much, were very strict with him.
They told him to live a good life in the church and not to lose his temper anymore.
“This is a great honor for you,” they said.
Rong Le just felt that everything happened so suddenly. He left his parents and was about to go to a strange place.
But no matter how much he cried, his parents left without mercy.
He was abandoned in the church.
He began to receive education arranged by the church with his peers, learning the necessary knowledge and even living together.
Because his family was well off, he did not live in a dormitory with eight or ten people. Instead, he moved to a small single room, which was much simpler than his bedroom at home.
His parents would visit him regularly and take him home to stay for a few days so that Rong Le could return to the environment he was most familiar with.
Because of her intelligence and quick understanding of knowledge, Rong Le received the most attention from the teachers.
He thought life had returned to normal again.
Until Rong Le was cornered for the first time and faced the malice from her peers.
...He began to become better and far ahead of others. He was appreciated by his teacher and received individual instruction.
He never mixed with the flock.
He thought indifferently.
After being away from the previous environment, life seems to be getting better again.
Rong Le found the joy of learning in the church. He left his footprints in every place in the church library that was open to him. He grew up slowly in the palace of books and knowledge.
Until he was twelve years old, a new figure appeared in his life.
…
"Who is he?" Kurosawa asked.
"Reno, a person who doesn't exist."
Rong Le murmured.
That day he was wandering around the back area of the church and accidentally came to a place he had never seen before: a very beautiful little garden.
Rong Le walked in curiously.
At that time, he didn't know that this was not any place announced by the church. He walked in the garden until he saw a young man at the end of the path, in the shadow of lush flowers.
The young man was wearing a white robe that could be seen everywhere in the church. He had black hair and eyes, and a delicate face. He looked like the Son of God who had descended to earth among the flowers.
Rong Le was stunned.
He had never seen this person of the same age before. After a moment of silence, he cautiously sat down not far from him.
The boy lowered his head and read quietly, as if he was unable to perceive the outside world, but Rong Le felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.
He gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up, there was no one beside him.
The next day, he went to the small garden again.
This time Rong Le was lucky, the young man was still sitting there quietly reading.
He was alert and cautious, like a stray cat. Although he never spoke a word, his body was very honest and he often went to the small garden.
No one ever appeared near the garden, which meant his whereabouts were never discovered.
This was his secret, and Rong Le never mentioned it to anyone else.
The boy was always very quiet. He would often bring a lot of books to read. Some of these books looked very old, and some were handwritten. Rong Le had never seen these books before, and gradually became unable to contain his feelings. Finally, one day, he could not help but shamelessly took the initiative to speak:
"What are you...reading?"
He met the boy's eyes.
The boy's pupils were a deep black, and pure black pupils were rare. When these eyes stared at people, it was as if they were being stared at by some existence. The inhuman feeling overwhelmed the human nature, making people feel cold and chilling.
...He didn't know at that time that he was the only one who could see Renault from beginning to end.
Kurosawa raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Did your hallucination come from him?"
Rong Le was silent for a moment, "Not entirely."
"Then let's get out of here and keep moving forward."
Rong Le's consciousness followed him forward until he was sixteen years old.
This year, because he was too outstanding, he was noticed by the bishop and kept by his side, and began to get involved in all the big and small affairs of the church.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a senior member of the church, manage church affairs, and become a highly respected person.
Rong Le seemed to have forgotten the boring childhood self from many years ago.
Only when he was alone with Renault would he throw away the social mask he wore outside.
"Sometimes I really don't understand what senior executives are busy with. Do the gods really hear the prayers they write?"
"It's so boring that it makes me sleepy. I'm almost yawning down there."
Rong Le's tone was full of mockery, and her rebellious remarks were enough to shock outsiders.
As time went by, he gradually became friends with the boy.
He didn't care about Renault's mystery. For Rong Le, only by being with the young man could he completely relax his vigilance in a pure land.
Renault whispered, "I'll hear it."
Rong Le was slightly stunned.
Renault: "Precisely because this country is completely under God's control, nothing can escape His rule. His strong desire for control will make Him keep an eye on this place forever."
A slight shudder crept across Rong Le's back, and he murmured, "...That truly is such a shocking truth."
He is really curious.
How sacred and beautiful a god must be who carries the faith of countless people.
