The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 121 A Dialogue Across the Millennium

At first, Snow thought that "I" was carrying the Earl of the Millennium himself.

It wasn't until he realized that the other party was actually just a soft coat draped over "his" arm that Snow regained his strength.

It can only be said that this doll coat is almost exactly the same as the appearance of the Earl of the Millennium.

Snow didn't think it was just an ordinary coincidence.

From this point of view, is it true that the Earl of the Millennium that Snow saw before, as he said, just put on a coat for himself, and there is someone else inside?

Could the person inside be the one Snow saw right now?

Also, the Noah clan once called themselves apostles, so would it be the 12 guys who left from the Utopia Ark?

Snow suspected that he might have found their origin.

In the records of the religious order, the Noah family is called the existence of Wuhen, and they are also the enemies of the human side in the jihad.

But if, whether it is the Earl of the Millennium or the 12 Noahs, all came from Utopia Ark, then why would they become enemies of the world?

It is clear that the original intention of Utopia Ark is to save mankind, but as the survivors who escaped from Utopia Ark, why did they set their goal of creating three days of darkness?
"Meow~~~"

Snow's thoughts were recalled by the meowing of the cat. The black cat looked very irritable, struggling desperately with the apostle's arm whose face could not be seen clearly.

It seemed that she wanted to jump back into the arms of the "Earl", but she was pinched by the back of the neck of fate, and then they were wrapped together in that doll costume.

"This can't be done. Luer must be obedient. When you go back, change your name and start your life again."

"Earl" also seemed to be a little reluctant to part with his cat, and left after comforting her for a while.

And the scene in front of Snow also changed again, as if time jumped, trivial and messy fragments flashed before his eyes.

In those clips, Snow saw countless puppets busy, mechanically and repetitively, doing seemingly ordinary tasks over and over again.

Maintenance, construction... They are like tireless worker ants, busy on this utopian ark like ant nest.

They didn't eat or drink, and didn't even communicate, just doing their own things numbly.

I don't know how long it took before the picture was re-frozen.

During this process, Snow felt that a long time had passed.

"Everyone, we finally succeeded! The Ark of Utopia was finally completely repaired today, but we also used up the last energy.

There's only enough power left in the ark for one jump, sorry guys, you're stuck here. "

The "Count" raised a wine glass in sight, but it was empty.

And in front of him were densely packed figures, but...they were all motionless puppets frozen in place.

The huge pentagram on the head seems to reveal their identities. The dolls have expressionless faces and dull eyes. Only the occasional rolling of the eyes seems to indicate that they are alive.

This scene seems very strange.

"Undead crew?"

These words suddenly came to Snow's mind.

The voice of "Earl" passed through his mouth again and entered Snow's ears.

"Too long time has passed, we are numb and depressed in the place of exile without time, but from today onwards everyone will regain their relief.

Here, our souls cannot return to heaven, but they can get eternal sleep.

Goodbye, gentlemen! "

When the last sentence was finished, the eyeballs of the puppets standing in place lost their luster, and then completely froze in place.

Snow watched helplessly as the "Earl" stretched out his hand, and then moved the dolls one after another to other areas.

In the end, he was left alone sitting on that chair. After a long time, he stood up again and walked into his own room.

The captain's cabin is different from other cabins. This is his own small space. Although it doesn't look big, the scenery is very beautiful.

This is a small wooden house located next to the lake, with blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, everything that one expects to find, but I don’t know if they really exist.

There is a wooden rocking chair at the door of the wooden house, and there is a kitten nest under the rocking chair, which seems to belong to the black cat named "Luer".

Seeing this scene, a phantom suddenly appeared in Snow's eyes.

It was a man in a tuxedo, basking in the sun in a rocking chair with a black cat on his lap.

But the "Count" didn't do that, he just went back to his room, opened a door and walked in.

There is a pure white piano in the center of the room, which seems out of place with the layout of the whole room.

"Earl" seemed to be in a good mood—this was what Snow felt.

He sat in front of the piano and stretched out his hand, then stroked the keys and played a piece slowly.

At first, he just thought that the other party was simply entertaining, but slowly the familiar music awakened his memory.

【Dream Wedding】...【Dream Piano Music】...【The Sea of ​​Clouds under the Moonlight】...

Familiar music one after another, leaping notes jumped out from the keys under the Earl's hand.

But the thing that surprised Snow the most was the sheet music he obtained from the Book of Conviction—【Kiss Your Hand】

This couldn't help but make Snow more suspicious of this "Count".

After a long time, he finally finished playing his own music, took a long breath of relief, closed the piano cover again, sat there and waited for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke.

"How is it? How is my performance?"

There was no one else around the room, Snow subconsciously thought he was talking to himself, but after a long silence, he felt something was wrong.

These words... how do they sound, as if they were speaking to him?
"Yeah! That's right! Young man, you've been listening for so long, you should give me a response!"

Snow was stunned.

The other party's last words became an established fact in his doubts, which made Snow feel horrified.

If there is an entity now, then goosebumps must have covered Snow's whole body.

Helplessly, he felt that the body belonging to the "Earl" stood up, then walked to a mirror and stopped.

From the perspective of "The Earl", Snow couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and this was the first time he used a mirror to see the other person's front.

"The Earl" was wearing a black dress, an exquisite tie, and a tall top hat, which was very gentlemanly during the Industrial Revolution.

But the opponent's face was also covered in a layer of mist.

"Sorry, I seem to scare you, but I'm just a little bit happy. For nearly ten thousand years, Utopia Ark has finally welcomed his long-awaited guest."

"Count" has a soft and youthful voice.

But Snow didn't know what to say, this scene was a bit too bizarre...

He has always thought that what he is now trapped in is the memory of the other party, but what is going on with this conversation that spans time and space?

You must know that he is still in the opponent's body now.

Snow opened his mouth cautiously and made a simple sound. Sure enough, the person in the mirror did the same thing.

"Uh...I...my name is Snow, that...actually, I don't know what's going on."

Snow seemed to be using the "Count"'s mouth to make his own voice.

This kind of scene of two people sharing one body and talking to themselves will be very weird to outsiders, like a madman who has gone mad.

"No, maybe it was meant to be."

The other party's nonsensical words made Snow unable to understand his meaning. Before he could ask, the "Count" continued.

"Our time is not synchronized, to you, I may just be a past memory, so, I guess we don't have enough time.

Do you have any questions? "

The "Count" walked away from the mirror, and Snow also lost the way to see him.

But he has already felt that the other party said "there is not much time."

Yes, of course there is.

And there were so many that Snow didn't know where to start asking.

By the way, the most urgent thing is to ask how can I find the way back?

"Going back? This is a bit difficult! The Ark has exhausted its backup energy, and it will take me and the undead crew nearly thousands of years to repair it.

Before I leave it, the remaining energy of Utopia should only be able to supply the last space jump. "

The tone of "Earl" was a little regretful, but also very light, as if he was happy because someone could accompany him to talk.

"Then what to do!"

In his desperation, Snow actually forgot the abnormality in what the other person said just now. This person has lived for thousands of years.

"Count" was silent for a while, and then spoke softly.

"Actually, it won't be difficult for you to restart the ark. Since you can come here, it means that I have succeeded."

"........."

Snow remained silent. Could it be that he appeared here just to restore this utopia?

But there is no one here anymore.

"The core fuel tank of the Ark was destroyed in the accident thousands of years ago, and the core escaped. This is the main reason for the current situation.

And your body... must have a core, definitely. "

The tone of "Earl" became affirmative, as if he had sorted out something.

"Is it the Book of Conviction?"

Snow asked eagerly. After the other party pointed out all this and started a conversation, Snow felt that the connection between the two seemed to have begun to become unstable.

"The Book of Conviction? No... I remember giving it a very prestigious name, the Flame of the Chaotic World.

Oh!Its real name is Satan, and its body is a black snake. "

"Count" seemed to be remembering, and his words sounded drawn.

Where have I seen this thing before?
Snow felt that he was about to go crazy, could he stop talking about these things in such a slow manner.

He is in a hurry now, brother.

"It's on your body, I just sensed it..."

Having said that, I only have an unknown item called [Book of Conviction] on me now... and so on.

Snow suddenly remembered that the book gave him the white flame that could burn his soul.

Could it be that thing?
"It seems that you already have some ideas."

"Probably! Although there are some other doubts, but... what should I do next?"

Snow has discovered that what he sees has produced a sense of switching, flickering back and forth between the core hall of Utopia and the perspective of the "Earl".

I'm afraid the time is almost here.

"You will know when you arrive, but if you can really go back, remember to keep the movement small so as not to attract the attention of certain existences.

Utopia did not return at the beginning, and it has a lot to do with that existence. "

The voice of "Earl" sounded a lot more serious, which seemed to be very important, Snow kept it silently in his heart.

"Also, when acting on behalf of the authority of the gods, don't have doubts about its means, because that is what the gods do.

And—to make good use of Utopia, reset is inevitable for the world. "

Snow also wanted to ask about the [Book of Conviction] and Noah's family, and of course, the coat of the Millennium Earl.

But before he could speak, the "Count" interrupted him first.

"Oh! It's time, I think it's time for us to say goodbye.

Well go all the way, Mr. new captain, look forward to our next meeting. "

Snow's vision gradually became blurred. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't open his mouth anymore.

The last scene I saw was the count taking off his top hat and bowing to himself in the mirror.

"Hey! One more thing, where is there to eat! What if I starve to death?"

Snow suddenly remembered that there was still such an unresolved matter!
Fortunately, the other party understood his expression.

"Well...the cafeteria has food manufacturing equipment, but it just needs some raw materials...anything is fine, but it's a bit unpalatable..."

Snow didn't hear the last sentence clearly, because the connection between the two had been disconnected, and Snow also returned to his side.

After a long time, the quietness returned to this scenic lakeside cottage.

"The Earl" sat there silent for a while, as if thinking of something happy, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Sure enough, He has already forgotten us. He will definitely be surprised when we meet again next time."

"Earl" turned around, and then came to the room with the piano before him, walked up to open the back cover of the white piano, and took out a heavy book from inside.

If Snow could see it, he would not be unfamiliar with his book of conviction.

"It's no wonder that it's the Gospel, you, who have a part of the authority of the gods, successfully brought him here.

Does this mean that my subsequent layout has been successful? "

"Earl" gently wiped the dust that did not exist on it.

"Then, it's time to go to Satan next."

The "Count" put what he called the "Gospel Book" into his arms, and then opened a door.

The other side of the door was an exile filled with nothingness, but he stepped in without hesitation.
