Chapter 353 Ah! I remembered!
Chapter 353 Ah! I remembered!
The Sleeping God Creation Theory is a name Ning Zhe made up himself. This theory came from a book called "Apricot Leaf Sutra" that he picked up in Vanessa Castle in the other world.
The Apricot Leaf Sutra says:
This world came into being because a great god had a dream. Therefore, this world is not material but spiritual. Everything that people see, hear and touch in the world, including human self-consciousness itself, is an extension of God's thoughts and a dream of God.
When God wakes up, the dream will be shattered like a bubble.
"The Apricot Leaf Sutra also says that as long as we continue to offer the souls of filthy people who are not blessed to God, we can make this world cleaner and more beautiful. God will then indulge in a beautiful dream and be reluctant to wake up, and the world's 'lifespan' will be extended accordingly."
"On the contrary, if the world is full of filthy people who are not blessed, this world will be a nightmare for God. God will be displeased by the nightmare and will wake up earlier, and the world will be destroyed earlier."
When God wakes up, the whole world will be shattered like a dream. Only the most devout believers will be chosen by God, appear beside God and become His favorites. The rest of the unblessed creatures will return to nothingness along with the dream and cease to exist.
What is considered pious?
Offering large sacrifices to God is called piety, donating large sums of money to the church is called piety, and obeying the guidance of God's agents is called piety.
Therefore, the Apricot Leaf Sutra warns believers:
Believe in God, because God created this world and us in his sleep.
Fear God, for He is omnipotent in His dreams.
We must offer sacrifices to God, because God’s awakening is inevitable.
"Interesting." Ning Zhe held the carbon pen between his fingers and looked at the delicate and doll-like face of the girl next to him.
Plumeria's first memory since she could remember was that she was wrapped in swaddling clothes and held in the arms of her sister Mary, and the two sisters listened to their mother reading the "Apricot Leaf Sutra" together.
The entire Flimmisret family are believers in the "Sleeping God Creation Theory", but their external image is that of a devout Christian family that has long donated large sums of money to the Catholic Church.
"It seems that their faith is so shady that they need to use Catholicism as a cover."
"Besides, what is this so-called 'unblessed filthy one'? Human sacrifice?"
Sacrificing living people to God?
It is difficult to come up with a conclusion for something that has no beginning or end. Ning Zhe soon gave up on further exploring the issue. He put down his pen, freed his hands and gently stroked the fair face of the girl beside him. The delicate touch was like a peeled boiled egg. With a light pinch of his fingernails, a crescent-shaped red mark was left on it.
Plumeria turned her head and looked at him quietly.
She was hurt by him.
So Ning Zhe pinched her face again, and her reaction was quite funny. Plumeria's appearance was still bright and beautiful, but her head was empty, like a brand new computer, with top-notch appearance and hardware quality, but there was no data in the hard drive, and even the system was not installed.
All her memories were erased by anger, leaving only some shattered subconscious and physiological instincts.
"Xia Rong~" Ning Zhe called softly.
Just as he finished speaking, a cute rag doll that looked like a little girl popped its head out from behind his shoulder, its two button eyes staring eagerly at the 'mother' who had called out her name.
"Did you see this beautiful young lady?" Ning Zhe held the soft little Xia Rong in his arms, pointed at Plumeria next to him, and said, "Mom wants you to take her to the opera house, and go in from the balcony where we came out before, do you understand?" Xia Rong nodded, and reluctantly got out of Ning Zhe's arms. She kicked her two short legs hard and jumped onto Plumeria's shoulders.
With a click, Xia Rong opened the door and, following her 'mother's' orders, took the silly little girl out of the room and left the airship in the direction of the opera house.
Watching Plumeria's figure go away in a daze, Ning Zhe picked up a pen and wrote a line of beautiful words in his notebook:
【he's gone. 】
In the same room in the real world, Meilin looked at the new words on the paper and breathed a sigh of relief: "He went to the opera house to find the gambler."
Xia Yubing nodded, still feeling a little worried: "I finally escaped from the opera house, and now I'm back... Is Ning Zhe so confident that he can beat the gambler?"
Meilin saw her anxiety and comforted her, "Please rest assured, Ms. Xia, with the help of the young lady, your husband will definitely win."
Because all other results except victory will be "undone".
In a daze, Plumeria was brought by Xia Rong to the balcony of the San Gloria Opera House. This place had long been marked with ink as a prison, and the sleeping gambler was trapped inside the prison.
Xia Rong's two short hands pulled her forward. Suddenly, a complex emotion flashed through the girl's lifeless eyes. The unconscious vagueness in her eyes dissipated like ice and snow, and was replaced by a trace of doubt:
"who I am?"
Plumeria frowned and lowered her head. She saw Xia Rong trying to pull her legs forward with her two short hands, and suddenly she realized:
"Ning Zhe...Oh, I'm Ning Zhe!"
Oh! I remember now! So I am Ning Zhe?
Plumeria bent down, held the soft little Xia Rong in her arms, and walked across the balcony into the opera house, muttering to herself:
"Yes, that's right. I'm Ning Zhe... Earlier today, I found Plumeria and Meilin, whose memories were deleted, in the mirror world No. 3-7, and reached a deal with Meilin..."
"Before I left the gambling table and went to the mirror world, I left Xia Rong under the gambling table and the music box to her. I asked Xia Rong to open the music box after I left, and hypnotized the gambler and Pétain with the Requiem, successfully getting everyone out of the opera house, leaving only the gambler still sleeping in the theater..."
"I am back at the opera house now, because I have received the help of Plumeria, and I am now confident that I can win Zhao back from the gambler..."
Plumeria murmured softly as she walked. As she remembered more and more things, her thoughts became clearer and clearer. The confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, and only one purpose remained extremely clear.
He walked through the corridor with ease to stand No. 1, pushed open the door, and a tall, thin corpse walked out. There were spots of corpse blood between its tattered clothes, and a cold breath came towards him, as if he was greasy after just waking up.
Plumeria didn't dodge or avoid it, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc:
"A bet?"
