Chapter 244 The only Thing to Be Remembered

"Player Super Justice ()"

Because of the existence of many spells, rituals, curses and other extraordinary abilities, in this world, nothing is completely "impossible".

Then, it is impossible to use the traditional technique of "exclude all the impossible, and the rest is inevitable".

But Annan is obviously not an obsessive-compulsive disorder that requires evidence.

He trusts his instincts more.

Compared with seeking "there is only one truth" that can only be offered to nothing, "motivation theory" is a more useful and practical methodology.

"Okay," Annan said suddenly, distracting Elle, "I'll take a bath for you, and then I'll rearrange your hair..."

Hearing this, Elle was shocked.

- What, what, what, bath?

She panicked immediately, and the chaotic and complicated thoughts in her mind were immediately swept away.

【……Hey? Wait, wait a minute—]

"It's okay, Elle. You can trust me...you can feel it anyway, right? I'm not going to do anything to you."

【It's not this...but...how to say...it's not impossible...but, but this...I think...]

Ellie was tangled again, faltering and not knowing what she was talking about.

Annan chuckled lightly.

So cute.

"Ai Lei" lifted the quilt and got out of bed with bare feet. Because she was still wearing pajamas, the real Ai Lei, who was hiding in the heart of "Ai Lei", was not so ashamed that she immediately shut down.

She narrowed her pupils slightly and looked around.

The biggest difference from the gallery nightmare...maybe there are more toys in the room.

They are all useless and fun, and maybe they won’t play again after buying them, but at first glance, they are the kind of “passion shopping” – they are bought by parents when children go out “I want this” The kind of novelty toy that tricks children.

The key point is that it reveals another layer of meaning.

This means that not only will Ellie be able to leave the house... but also her parents will be able to go out and play with her.

And in real history, at the end of the day - Alley wasn't allowed to leave the house at all.

She is like a canary in a cage.

And here's "Ai Lei", a bird that can fly freely.

"That's good."

Annan sighed without reason.

[...Well, that's great]

Ellie whispered and said in her heart.

Her mood also sank a little because of this, and her reaction was not so intense.

Glancing at the half-painted oil paintings and half-written lyrics on the desk, Annan couldn't help but chuckle.

He realized that this was the evidence that Alley judged that she was "coming out to draw materials".

...that's not wrong.

On the other hand, Elle asked suspiciously, but she didn't understand why Annan was laughing.

Annan quickly finished taking a shower, combed his hair and put on clothes for going out under Elle's guidance, and left the house.

Before going out, Annan glanced at his watch.

- Two fifty in the afternoon.

Do different purifiers have different time to move freely every day?

Well, that makes perfect sense.

"Ai Lei" left the house - what she saw was a golden wheat field.

The midday sun is bright and warm, as quiet as a wonderland far from the world. "Elei"'s white dress and hair were quietly blown by the cool breeze.

She cut her hair and listened quietly for a while.

"...Actually, when you are here, you should realize that something is wrong."

【Where, where...? ! 】

Apparently, Ailey hadn't recovered from the shock of Annan helping her take a bath before, and responded somewhat embarrassedly.

[Anyway, I'm an idiot, alright——]

"Indeed," Annan chuckled, squinting his emerald green pupils leisurely, "Otherwise, maybe you can solve this nightmare with your own strength...probably.

"

【What is it exactly……】

"It's too quiet, Elle... listen."

Annan closed his eyes, tapped his right hand on his earlobe, and tilted his head slightly to the right.

"No sound... right."

【……so what? 】

"Is this wheat field planted by Amos?"

Annan smiled and said: "Since it was planted, why is no one coming to harvest it? Then why is there no sound of people around?

"Since there is a large field of wheat here...why can't you hear the sound of insects and birds? And the most important thing - the rustling of the wind and the wheat waves, have you heard it?"

The answer is, nothing.

Just like a landscape painting.

But it is only the level of [semi-finished product].

This world can only be regarded as a fragment... a fragment of a dream like a fairy tale.

"You may not know it, Elle. There must be bugs in the wheat fields, and there will be voles, sparrows, rabbits... and wolves."

【……Wolf? 】

"That's right. The peasants of the Church and the United Kingdom will bring back their children who want to play in the wheat fields and step on the wheat, because there are wolves in them. There will still be a ceremony in the Church and the United Kingdom, called 'Children's wine'."

Annan told the story in a childlike tone.

But there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Some old Christians and nobles of the United Kingdom believe that there is a soul in the rice. The reason why they eat hand-pounded rice instead of the machine rice from the rice mill is because they think the rice mill grinds too much, The soul in the rice will run out. This soul is called 'The Spirit of the Valley', and it usually appears in the wheat field in the form of a wolf...that is, the 'Wolf in the Valley'.

"Farmers who believe in the wolf in the valley will cut down the 'Mother of the Valley' in the field at the end. The so-called 'Mother of the Valley' is the ear of wheat that bends first when the wind blows through the wheat field. With a wolf-shaped 'Essence of the Valley'. Those who were injured and bleed without being noticed while harvesting wheat were bitten by the wolf in the valley.

"They will take seven ears of wheat from the 'Mother', anoint it with oil and incense, and put it on the bed as if it were a child. The family members should follow the tradition of giving birth to children and strictly abide by the three-day taboo, as if it were a real child. Like giving birth to a child.

"And the wheat ears treated with rituals will be called 'young wolves'. It only needs one wheat ear, which is equivalent to the value of a wheat field... The wine made from 'young wolves' will be Known as 'wolf wine', it was regarded as the most valuable thing in a peasant's home."

[Okay...it's amazing! 】

Ellie exclaimed.

She asked impatiently.

[So what's the use of juvenile wolf wine? 】

"The answer is...it's useless."

【……Hey? 】

"Because the god of the wolf in the valley is fictional. It is actually an incarnation of the tragic writer as a mortal... It has no divine power at all. It is a 'god that does not exist'.

"Then the question is, why do people believe in the existence of the wolf in the valley? Think about it, Elle."

Annan said, his footsteps still did not stop.

And Elle curled up in the bottom of his heart, thinking with all her strength and seriousness.

[Because...the priests were not born among them? And mortals won't be given magic, so...]

"It's a little bit on the edge, but it's still not right."

A malicious, compassionate smile appeared on the corner of Annan's mouth.

"The correct answer is - even if they can't get any magic, even if reason has already told them that the wolf in the valley doesn't exist at all. But they would rather believe... the wolf in the valley does exist.

"Because they have no contact with other gods except the wolf in the valley; and if the wolf in the valley is determined to be false, then what they have done so far will appear so foolish and blasphemous. The peace they have so far , peaceful life, will be completely disrupted.”

Therefore, the more people believe that the wolf in the valley may not exist, the more intelligent people who can see through everything... on the contrary, the more they will maintain this lie.

"Then, let me ask you one more thing."

【……what? 】

"Eternal life... Does he exist? Or--

"Does it matter whether he exists or not?"
