Mage Joan

Facing the king’s questioning, the prophet reluctantly revealed that the drought and plague the city-state suffered in the past few years were due to divine intentions, because some people in the city committed serious crimes of rebelliousness, and therefore imposed a punishment.

The young king was puzzled and asked the prophet, which sinner was the root of the disaster? The gods hate this person, and it is enough to punish him. Why do you want to implicate tens of thousands of innocent residents of the city?

The prophet was awkward and silent.

It wasn't until the king asked repeatedly that he was forced to reveal the unspeakable truth.

It turned out that the sinner who angered the gods was the king himself. Because he committed the crime of murdering his father and marrying his mother, the gods punished him. Three years of severe drought, plus the plague, punished the king and the people who pushed him to the throne.

The young king couldn't believe the words of the prophet, and returned to the palace in despair, only to hear a terrible news that shocked him-the queen had committed suicide!

After the chaos, the king learned that when his wife was tidying up the bedroom, he accidentally found a package that he had thrown into the cupboard and forgotten for many years. It contained a letter from his adoptive father, telling clues to his life, and a gem ring— -The only token left to him by his biological mother.

This young man from the country originally wanted to go to the city to find his biological parents. However, when fate pushed him to the throne, he forgot his original intentions. Over the years, he did not bother to trace his own life experience.

But his mother never forgot her own flesh and blood.

Seeing the letter and the gem ring, the queen immediately realized that her young husband was the flesh and blood that was forced to abandon at the time. It was this man who killed the queen's former husband and his biological father.

This cruel coincidence overwhelmed the queen's spirit. She could not face the man who was both a son and a husband. She could only choose to end her life.

After learning the truth, the king felt guilty and blamed himself. He took the initiative to announce the crimes he had committed unintentionally to the residents of the city, followed the laws he made, accepted the trial, and was finally blinded and exiled into the desert. I hope to wash away my shame through these atonement measures, and beg the gods to appease their anger and end the punishment of this city.

"Brother Gnostic, this play is coming to an end, it's time to invite the'God' to play." Metatron heard a mental wave.

Qiao An is wondering where she is going to invite a god, Metatron has already shown the 9th-order ability "playing memory", planting an illusion into the brain in the tank, making the blind king wandering in the desert think that he is a double The eyes returned to the light and saw a brilliant and beautiful angel falling from the sky with open white wings, and asked him if he was willing to sacrifice his soul for the sake of atonement.

"Servant of God, I am willing to sacrifice everything to redeem my sins, including this sinful soul!"

The self-exiled king knelt at the feet of the angel and prayed devoutly.

At the same time, Metatron suddenly ended his manifestation, grabbed the brain soaked in the tank, raised six tentacles, wrapped the brain and pierced deeply, sucking the brain greedily, and his face was ecstatic, as if tasting A delicious dish with endless flavors.

"Tragedy is not as sweet and delicious as comedy, but the aftertaste is more long and lasting."

Metatron wiped the brain at the corner of his mouth and commented.

Qiao An looked at her silently, with a tremor in her heart.

During the period of interacting with Metatron, occasionally he would have a subtle sense of sight, as if seeing the shadows of Conti, Rebecca, Audrey and Hylar from Metatron, so much so Unknowingly, she had a good feeling for this "spirit princess".

At this moment, when he witnessed Metatron playing with the human brain in an academic or even artistic way, and finally swallowing innocent victims, Qiao Ann suddenly became vigilant. Metatron is not his own kind, but a man. A monster with a beautiful skin!

No matter how cute she is, she is still a cruel, cold-blooded, evil and perverted monster in her bones! From a certain point of view, her kind of emotional and seemingly humane alternative heart-devil is even more terrifying than the ordinary heart-devil who is purely rational!

It's like seeing an inhuman doll in the dark, which is more terrifying than seeing a toy fire-breathing dragon.

Suddenly, from Metatron's experiment, Qiao Ann thought of the abnormal mental symptoms of Ishtar, the Queen of Udinese's Eye.

Comparing these two things, the more I think about it, the more irony I feel.

Metatron's experimental subjects were immersed in dreams, and did not realize that they were not living in the real world. All past experiences, relatives, friends and enemies were all the products of fantasy.

Even this dream does not completely belong to them, because some dramatic coincidences and major transitions in the dream are actually carefully compiled by Metatron, the director behind the scenes, but the "brain in the tank" does not know that he is just suffering. An actor at the mercy and pleasure of others.

Ishtar clearly lives in a world that cannot be more real. He clearly possesses legendary power and supreme power to dominate the Demon Eye Nest, but he cannot enjoy this freedom and power at ease, and suffers from persecution delusions. , Is always nervous, suspecting that he lives in a fictitious world, just a doll, a "brain in a tank" controlled and entertained by people.

The brain in the tank does not understand the truth of the world at all, but lives very fulfilling in false dreams; Ishtar thinks he has seen through the real world, but loses the joy of life because of this. Which of these two kinds of life is more sad?

Qiao An couldn't make a claim.

Of course he didn't want to be the brain in the tank, but he couldn't agree with Ishtar's nihilism that troubled himself.

He just wants to live a normal life, like most ordinary people in the world, from physical to psychological health.

However, just such a seemingly humble wish is not so easy to achieve, and sometimes even seems too extravagant.

"Dear Brother Gnostic, you have been pondering for a long time, can you share your thoughts with me?" Metatron broke the silence softly, "I hope I haven't interfered with your thinking."

Qiao An recovered, and after careful consideration, finally couldn't help but confide in her.

"Master Metatron, thank you for inviting me to visit the laboratory. It opened my eyes and at the same time I couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of my own existence."

"Let's imagine, does the world you and I live in really exist?"

"Could it be a fictitious dream. You and I are not what we think we are, nor do we have any free will. In fact, they are just two brains soaked in a jar by higher beings, weaving them with ourselves. Dreaming to please others?"
