Chapter 14: Yanogami?
Kidding.
No one is happy because they are locked in a prison. A good looking priest is impossible, with or without good food.
The reason why Ignatius is in a better mood now is because he feels that these Nighthawks don't seem to intend to use him as a test subject.
Although, they did imprison his personal freedom and put him in a prison where he couldn't get out by "opening the door".
However, the various treatments given to him by the Nighthawks are not the same as for real prisoners. Instead, it was more like temporarily under house arrest for some reason.
Because, at present, there is food and housing, but in fact, it does not conform to the official sentencing process for wild Beyonders.
What's more, Igna is still the "high-risk" type who was entangled in the Cthulhu Ritual.
According to the usual practice, Ignat should either be dissected or pressed for experiments at this time.
The legal system and prison system construction in this era are not perfect, not to mention that Igna's situation is of a type that is not sentenced by normal laws.
In fact, in the situation Ignatius should be facing now, it is "the most reasonable" that humans are inferior to animals.
How could there be such a "beautiful" life?
Therefore, Igna speculates that there must be some special reason for these Nighthawks to suspend his trial.
Moreover, he knew that the reason would also bring about a "special judgment", and the time for the arrival of the judge should not be too late.
"But this is all inference. I can't do anything right now." Igna looked around helplessly.
In this dark place, there is no freedom and no escape. The ability to "open the door" is ineffective, and there are few moments of communication with people.
Only through methodical thinking can Igna be able to relieve some of the fear of the unknown.
Thinking of this, Igna couldn't help but look at the teachings of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, which was placed on his desk in deep black and decorated with stars.
This teaching, called "The Revelation of the Night", is the only reading Ignatius has read these days.
In the past, even if such a book was boring, Igna would never read it.
However, these days, Igna really has no choice.
However, unexpectedly, after reading the whole article, Ignat actually found something that could be called "interesting".
For example, in the two chapters of "Book of Wisdom" and "Letters of the Saints" in "Revelation of the Night", Ignatius found the creation myth of this world.
"...the Creator woke up from chaos, broke the darkness, and created the first ray of light;
"I am completely integrated into the universe and incarnate into all things;
"His body became the earth and the stars, one of his eyes became the sun and the other the red moon, and part of his blood ran into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life;
"His lungs became a genie; his heart became a giant; his liver became a tree-man; his head became a dragon; his kidneys became a feathered serpent; his hair became a phoenix; his ears Derived into a demon wolf; his mouth and teeth were transformed into alien species; his remaining body fluids were transformed into sea monsters, the essence of which was Naga; his stomach, his small intestine and large intestine, and the evil parts of his body were transformed into demons, evil spirits With various unknown evil beings, his essence became the eternal sun, the lord of storms, the **** of knowledge and wisdom; from his wisdom were born human beings... (Note 1
To be honest, Igna was quite surprised when he saw this myth.
This kind of expression is really very similar to the Pangu pioneering the world and the Shanwai Jing Kuafu of the big foodie empire.
For example, Pangu.
He is pretty much the same.
"The incarnation of dying, the air is the wind and the clouds, the sound is the thunder, the left eye is the sun, the right eye is the moon, the limbs and the five bodies are the four poles and five mountains, the blood is the rivers, the tendons are the geography, the muscles are the fields, the beard is the stars, and the fur is the grass and trees. , the tooth bone is gold and stone, the essence is pearl and jade, sweat is rain... (Note 2
Every limb, from the eyes to the brain, every part of the body is clearly arranged.
Pangu is the oldest **** in Chinese culture. The Creator is the first being in this world.
However, the "creation myths" that people pass on by word of mouth are so similar.
Obviously, he is now in a completely different world from before!
This is really surprising!
In addition, Igna learned that in this world, in addition to the difference between the red moon and the earth, in astronomy, other knowledge is also surprisingly consistent.
For example, here, the solar calendar is also used, and there are 365 days of reincarnation every year.
And, here, too, there is a steam age very similar to the Victorian era, even called the Industrial Revolution!
Together these things always give Igna an illusion.
Make him feel that this world is very similar to his original world.
The only difference is the skill tree.
In this world, they not only developed in the technology tree, but also became stronger in mysticism.
And, in addition to the above, Igna also found that there are many expressions that he is familiar with in the Holy Book of Revelation of the Night.
For example, if you read a paragraph at random, the book says:
"...Therefore cast off all filthiness and excess wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, the Word that can save your souls.
"It's just that you have to do the Dao, don't just listen to the Dao and deceive yourself.
"Those who do not do the Dao because they listen to the Dao are like a person looking in a mirror to see his true face.
"I saw it, and after I left, I immediately forgot what he looked like.
"But he who examines the perfect law of liberty, and always does so, will not forget what he hears, but do it, and he will be blessed in what he does... (Note 3
These holy words, to be honest, are not easy to understand. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Because, the way these words and sentences are formed does not conform to the usual language habits.
It is obvious that every word is known, but when combined together, it becomes a book from heaven.
Moreover, all the sentence patterns use imperative sentences invariably, which has a very strong sense of sight to the "Bible" that Ignatius had come into contact with.
After reading "Apocalypse of the Night", on the one hand, Igna felt that "theology" was really miraculous, and that no matter what world it was in, it had something in common.
On the other hand, Igna's sense of trance is getting stronger and stronger. He always has an illusion, for example, that this world may be inextricably linked with the earth.
Otherwise, how can there be so many similarities?
One similarity is a coincidence, two similarities are coincidences, three, four, five or six are similar, right?
But, how could this be Earth?
There is no Beyonder on earth!
"In any case, what I've seen now has research value at least in a sociological sense." Igna couldn't help but smile.
Before crossing, he was a liberal arts student, and the sociology department was the brother department of their school, and they often played basketball together. During the intermission, I often listen to them nagging, so I also have some layman's experience.
"That's right, I don't know if I'll have a chance to go back and see them again..."
Now locked in a dungeon, he still doesn't know what will happen to him later. I don't know that I can't go home yet.
