247 Two Dreams
Golden underground hall.
The huge circular rune array on the ground was like a precise sundial disk, while Osborne sat in the center with his eyes closed. He seemed to be asleep, with a crystal column behind his back. This crystal column was thick with two people hugging each other, transparent and free of impurities, and it was from the ground to the ceiling, like the only load-bearing column in the underground hall, and like the needle of the sundial.
After confessing to the Pope, Osborn finally felt relieved. Although he would not expose the "sin" of the Pope's lying and deceiving the world in public, at least he no longer had to cooperate with the acting. In the eyes of everyone, thousands of people were watching him pretending to be the so-called prophet! The blonde young man felt relaxed.
So I fell asleep accidentally and started to have a familiar dream again in a daze.
To be precise, two different dreams...
At first, Osborn felt like he was wandering in a sea of light, and this was his first dream.
In this dream, there is light on the top, bottom, left and right, and I seem to be a drop of water in the ocean of light, and I feel a sense of comfort in wandering in my mother's arms! In this dream, I feel like I can't feel the passage of time, floating around, as if tens of thousands of years have passed.
But the colors here are not constant.
Osborne remembers that there are three main types of "Sea of Light" around it. One is the warm orange-yellow light. It is like roasting a fire near them by a fireplace; the other is the soft silver light. It is like sitting on a cool stream near them. The last one is relatively rare, it is dazzling white! Occasionally appearing, it makes people cry - if he has eyes at this moment.
Of course, most of the time, sea water changes from three colors, most of the previous two.
This dream is so monotonous that I don’t remember too many details every time I wake up, which is completely different from another dream.
Another dream is much more specific...
All the details are so vivid. Every time I have this dream, Osborne wakes up and finds dry tears on his face and his nails are bleeding from pinching his palms!
The scene in the dream is a cold winter, and it is snowing in Karl King's Court.
The snowflakes began to float in the evening, and when there was no one in the middle of the night, a thin layer of silver quilt had already accumulated on the road and roofs.
Two figures appeared in a small alley in the slums of the old city. They were wrapped in thick turbans and cotton coats, and they couldn't see clearly. One of them was holding a swaddle in his arms. The two stumbled and walked through countless streets under the moonlight. Finally, they came to a remote corner, placed the swaddle on the cold stone steps, and then slowly retreated.
"Mom?" A crisp sound came from the cradle, which quickly turned into a giggle, "Don't leave, are you going to play hide-and-seek with me?"
However, when they heard this sound, the two of them were trembling as if they had seen a ghost!
Only when the moonlight hits the baby's face in the cradle, can you see that the baby's skin is still a little wrinkled, and the fetal hair on his body has not completely disappeared. It is obvious that it has just been born! But he has already smiled and spoke clearly. Two rare black pupils staring at his parents, stretching out his slightly fat little hands, and grabbing them in the air.
"Devil...you are the devil..." The two of them trembled and retreated, and finally turned around and ran away together.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the shadow at the end of the alley and never appeared again.
"No, I'm not a devil, you are." Osborne in the dream murmured like this, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.
That baby is him...
It turned out that for some reason, Osborne had remembered everything since he was born, and he learned to walk and talk in just a few days! However, this abnormal behavior scared his parents. They abandoned him on that cold snowy night. Osborne still remembers the biting chill of snow melting under his body, and the ice water seeped into the swaddle little by little! It was like a hundred sharpest daggers slowly stabbed in from the back of the spine!
This feeling did not improve slightly until the sun rises. When people opened the door and walked onto the street with white breath, they naturally saw the abandoned child who was already gray in the cradle of the street corner. At that time, Osborne was so cold that he could not say a word. I vaguely remembered that someone came up to check it down, shook his head and walked away with a sigh.
In slums, abandoning babies is not uncommon.
The poor are not enough to eat themselves, and no one will adopt them. Moreover, abandoned babies often have certain natural defects.
As for the gorgeously dressed people who occasionally pass by, they want to pass through this dirty alley as quickly as possible, so as not to get sewage on their beautiful leather shoes, and they don't even look at him directly.
The dream continues.
The baby was in a coma for some time, but when he woke up, he found himself in a doghouse.
A big black dog looked at him gently, licked his face with his tongue, and pushed half a piece of dirty black bread over the front paws. Several black puppies of the same color squeezed beside him and yelled, staring at him curiously, rolling and fighting around him. The heat in these vigorous little bodies made the frozen baby gradually feel a hint of warmth.
He survived and became one of the many wandering orphans who picked up garbage and ate on the streets.
But it is undoubtedly the most vulnerable one because he is too young and cannot walk steadily.
If it weren't for the care of the black dog, he wouldn't even be able to fill his stomach with himself.
For more than a year, I wandered around the streets and alleys of the slums of Karl King Ting, and picked up the garbage that had been picked up by other older children in a low-key manner. I was beaten and kicked by taller and stronger children without daring to say anything... My vivid memories turned into pictures in my dreams and flashed by quickly.
The last picture is also what Osborne least wants to dream of.
He saw the big black dog lying dying in a pool of blood, a sharp stone stained with blood lying beside him... He saw the little murderers cheering and celebrating victory, and saw a litter of puppies who were as close as brothers to him by the wandering big children happily divided and belonged. No matter how he knelt down and cried and begged, all he got was beaten down again and again.
In the following days, the aroma of dog meat soup was rarely floating in the alleys of the slums.
—————
Two dreams are sometimes done separately, and sometimes they are done in a mixed manner.
But no matter which one it is, you always wake up in a heart-wrenching pain in the end!
If it was the first dream, Osborne would finally see the ocean of light shattered, and a torn pain would sweep across his soul... And if it was the second dream, he would feel the helplessness of a landslide and tsunami again, crying in the blood-dried doghouse until he fainted completely...
So Osborne believes that there must be evil in human nature.
If there is no evil, why would parents abandon him, and why did people turn a blind eye to babies in their swaggers...
If there is no evil, why do those older children enjoy bullying him and why are they so cruel to their brothers and sisters...
It was not until it was adopted by the Holy See that Osborne really found the answer.
There are four chapters in "The Creation of the Goddess of Light", namely the Creation, the Secret, the Order and the Punishment! The last Punishment Chapter tells the story of people being born with sin! The book attributes the original sin of people to seven types - arrogance! Greed! Anger! Laziness! Jealousy! Glut eating! Lust!
Genesis says that the seven sins are the root of all sins, and the rest of them evolved from them.
If a person indulges in his heart, he will go into the abyss. Only by treating light as faith and repenting often can he suppress the devil in his heart!
This is also why the Holy See of Light exists because it wants to spread the faith of the Goddess of Light.
The Holy See is Osborne's home. For the past eighteen years of practicing in the underground hall, he has always kept the "Genesis" treasured by the Holy See with him. He has read it countless times, and he can recite it backwards and even put it next to his pillow when he sleeps. Every time he has a nightmare, he will read it again after waking up, so that he can calm his mood.
This time was no exception. Osborne picked up the old book and opened it carefully.
"Osborne." At this time, a sound came from the door on the side of the hall. The young man with blond hair and black eyes looked up and found that it was the Pope.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have just walked up from deeper underground and passed by the Golden Hall.
"Some things you need to know." The Pope's face was exhausted and waved to Osborne.
Chapter completed!
