Zong Jiu felt as if he was dreaming, half asleep and half awake.
After waking up from that long memory, he could clearly feel himself being picked up and slowly moved up the stairs.
A nun who was cleaning put down the holy bottle in surprise, “Your Holiness, do you need my help?”
“No need.” The little Devil said lightly.
He hugged the white-haired young man in his arms with great effort, like occupying his own treasure, not allowing others to touch it, and walked forward step by step.
On the fourth floor, the little Devil, who threw the bishop’s scepter aside, climbed for almost half an hour before successfully carrying the Magician to the room on the top floor.
He carefully put the man on the bed, lit the candlestick, and let the flickering candlelight illuminate the young man’s beautiful face.
After covering the person with the quilt on tiptoes, the little Devil propped himself on the edge of the bed, his dark brown eyes staring unblinkingly at the sleeping white-haired young man.
He stayed in this posture and watched for a long time. Until the burning candle gradually became shorter, until it was only a short section, and finally turned into wax oil and dispersed on the candle holder, slowly extinguished.
The light dimmed.
The tapestry blocked the light outside and the room was once again plunged into darkness.
This color was torture to him when he was six years old, but it was his origin after six years old.
Zong Jiu still maintained the posture of lying flat, unable to speak, but aware of the movements around him.
The little Devil leaned closer to the white-haired young man, hugged the rabbit doll tightly in his hands, and muttered to himself.
“Gege and he are really similar. No wonder the prophecy says that you are mortal enemies. I am afraid that in this world, only gege can understand him.”
“Actually, I know… my gege doesn’t want to kill me that much, no matter if it’s the adult or the current me.”
He whispered, “Although I showed gege that memory rashly, I shouldn’t be angry as an adult… Maybe I will feel happier?
“After all, how can he be willing to kill gege? Although this kind of feeling is maliciously twisted, for us, being reluctant to kill is already very fond.”
Speaking of this, the little Devil suddenly laughed twice, “Actually, gege also knows that I am not Number One at all.”
The malice of a world poured into Number One had long destroyed the vessel from the inside out, just like a huge wave destroying a lonely and drifting boat. It was lifted high into the air, destroying the unformed personality of a six-year-old child to pieces.
Gathering for a hundred years, what was born out of the maliciousness of billions of people could never be something good.
Rather than saying that the current No. 1 was the original Number One, it was better to say that he was a monster born from evil thoughts.
They weren’t even the same person, except they looked the same.
“So, even if I was suppressed to being six years old, I am completely different from Number One.”
The little Devil tilted his head, “At the moment of the sacrifice, he rotted from the bone, not even a human being anymore.”
The fluffy head rubbed against the Magician’s hand, full of nostalgia.
The cool snow pine scent of the person on the bed made the little Devil feel at ease even in the dark.
“Obviously knowing, but still being so kind to me, gege is so kind.”

He opened his eyes, and his light-colored pupils were full of clarity.
The night passed.
The moment the light of day fell on the earth, the Judgement was about to kick off.
Distant chants sounded in the air, and music that surpassed the spiritual level of human capability was played from the sky above.
Someone took a paintbrush and dipped it in paint, painting the whole world with a layer of holy white gold.
Flowers were blooming, birds were singing, and there was no trace of hidden darkness.
Everything came alive.
The Judgement began.
Before Zong Jiu realized all that, his body turned over from the bed subconsciously, picked up the khaki windbreaker jacket that was put aside, pushed open the door, and rushed outside.
The other trainees stood at the door of the cathedral early on, some with shackles on their hands and feet, some without.
But all in all, the trainees were relieved when they saw the white-haired young man.
“Jiu-ge, you are finally here, you have been missing for a whole day!”
“Jiu-ge, where were you before? We searched all night and didn’t see you. Everyone is going crazy!”
“The captain is finally back.”
…
Not only the trainees, but the live streaming room also finally settled down.
[Okay, okay, the gambling dog who said that the Magician would die if he disappeared for a day, come here and pay your grandpa]
[It can be regarded as coming back, the Magician has been missing for one day, change it to someone else, it is already a death notice]
[Let me just say, he’s the biggest winner from the Rainbow Amusement Park, and he has S-rank props in his hand, so it’s so easy to explain]
[That’s right, I’ve been worried for a day, hahahahahaha the Magician is going to take us out of the infinite loop, how could it be possible to randomly fold in this instance]
[The sister upstairs is an old fan at first glance, good guy, the only one who remembers this meme is an old fan these days, lucky!]
Zong Jiu nodded hastily at them, “How is the situation now?”
The situation was urgent, and he didn’t have time to explain that he hadn’t encountered danger but received a memory from the little Devil, and then slept soundly in someone’s bed for a day and a night, waking up directly to Judgment Day.
Anthony was the first to react, “Not too good.”
Fortunately, he had been with Van Zhuo for a long time. Although he sometimes acted impulsively, he was well-rounded, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take the position of second in command of the Night Clan. This was also No. 2’s intention when transferring Anthony to Zong Jiu’s team. If he could take care of him, he would take care of him.
“Just now, the Pope left the cathedral with all the nuns and walked to the Judgement Court. But for some reason, the Pope was wearing chains and shackles.”
This was also the part where the trainees were most puzzled.
Judgment Day had not yet kicked off, but when the holy light appeared in the sky, all the trainees with black lines on their arms had dark black shackles on their wrists, symbolizing their sinful status.
For example, Anthony had iron handcuffs and anklets, and even a chain around his neck. As long as the thought of breaking free appeared in his mind, the flesh under the iron would start to emit scalding heat and burn.
He had learned from the townspeople a long time ago that because the identity of a vampire was not accepted by Heaven, he would probably not be able to pass Judgment Day, and now he just verified it.
But the Pope was different.
The Pope is obviously a “naturally holy person”, how could he wear shackles like a sinful person?
Hearing this, Zong Jiu frowned.
After he said “I’ll go and see”, he rushed to the square in the center of the town.
The other trainees looked at his back, then looked at each other in blank dismay, and also followed.
When Zong Jiu ran to the square, the courtroom was finally set up.
A gigantic judging platform full of brilliance slowly took shape above the sky. And above it, the light that burned the eyes covered everything, making people afraid to raise their hearts to look directly at the celestials.
Tens of thousands of angels made of pure light elements floated beside the Judgement Court with white wings beating on their backs. Words could not describe their holiness and beauty.
They floated under the Tribunal tacitly, without surpassing the majesty of God.
That was beyond dimensions, unobservable, uncomprehensible.
“The Judgement is about to begin.”
The leading angel announced in a calm, detached tone, “First the sinners will be judged.”
In the next second, a meteor streaked across the sky, and the cross shining with icy luster pierced deeply into the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
The Pope’s scarlet cloak was crucified to the ground. The little Devil’s eyes were closed tightly, his limbs were bleeding, and he was holding a rabbit doll in his arms. His life and death were unknown.
The townspeople shouted in disbelief, “How is this possible, Your Holiness has always been a holy person by nature, how could he be guilty!”
“Your Holiness has forgiven our sins, shown great kindness, why would you bear the sins yourself?”
The angel said indifferently, “His sin came from his own body, and has nothing to do with what you think. He deserves to be judged and fall into the nine Hells. It is not too much to cut him into pieces.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Angel no longer elaborated. One after another crosses descended from the sky again, nailing the sinners into the earth one by one.
At the execution after the Judgement, the good man goes to heaven. The sinners who were nailed to the ground with heavy chains on their hands and feet were unable to struggle and move, and would finally fall into the cracks in the earth, swallowed by lava, and fall into Hell.
The white-haired young man stood there watching this scene, but an old and kind voice came from behind him.
“You still choose to return to the earth, child.”
Zong Jiu didn’t turn his head back, “Do you know my choice?”
“Standing here means that you have made a choice.”
The old nun in a black headdress shook her head, “I know you won’t come to see me, so I’m here.”
Zong Jiu sighed, “What do you think the prophecy is?”
“The prophecy is like this. No matter what choice you choose, it will only suit its plot in the end.”
Yes, no matter what the choice is, it will only suit its plot in the end.
Just like what Zong Jiu saw.
The original Devil, in fact, was the appointed savior.
Because of human greed and malice, he eventually degenerated into the great Devil.
The original Zong Jiu had no affection, liked to seek excitement, and was not bound by anything. Instead, he was more like a big Devil in the traditional sense.
Without the twisted gem of the Devil before him, even Zhuge An would not be able to connect him with the word savior.
But the old nun led him and let him put a chain on himself, returning to the right path from now on.
A prophecy was a prophecy, no matter how it changed, it will still apply.
“Avoidance” and “knowledge” had already been included in the scope of prophecy.
Just like ancient Greek mythology, Cronus overthrew the rule of his father Uranus and became a new generation of god-king.
Uranus cursed that Cronus would be overthrown and usurped by his own son just like his fate.
So Cronus swallowed all the children when they were born. Only the youngest son, Zeus, escaped all this. Sure enough, after he grew up, Zeus overthrew the rule of Cronus, fulfilled the prophecy, and became the third generation of God King.
If there were no intervention of those contenders, if there were no old nuns, maybe today’s big Devil would’ve been the savior, but the savior is a big Devil instead.
Unfortunately, it just stopped at “maybe”.
That was the possibility, it was really… irritating.
“Thank you. Although I know in my heart that you are not her, your presence always makes me feel at ease.”
“Just do whatever you want.”
The old nun smiled, “Guiding the lost, this is the greatest meaning of my existence.”
This instance called “Judgment Day” was so realistic that everything was indistinguishable from reality.
For example, she knew now that the white-haired Magician would not stop for anyone.
“So boy, what are you going to do now?”
The white-haired Magician took off his windbreaker and threw it into the wind, revealing his neat white shirt and trousers.
He silently raised his hand, holding his earrings, and revealed a card between his other fingers.
The cold Holy Sword of Physics slipped into the hands of the Magician and quickly turned into a crowbar.
In the wind, he dropped a light sentence.
“Go save people.”
Going to save people with a crowbar… when’s the big Devil going to show?? TY 🤣❤️
no.1 has the right to be a villain
So cool at the end
