A Greyish-White Dawn
The confession booth was narrow and sheltered, the panel made the believers here to repent only be able to see a few rays of light from its gaps, making the believers take the person on the other side of the confessional as a saviour, piously confessing their own sins.
Chi Yu already sent away the third believer, these believers' repentance practically made Chi Yu confused, but he still used a kind of roundabout compassionate tone according to the book to have them sent away. After this, a fourth person did not come in for a very long time, Chi Yu couldn't help but concentrate on flipping pages, and did his best to find some hints on Thorn Castle.
He finally found it, the place did not exist in the glossary, so he could only search from the tens of pages of maps from the back and remember it, then at this time, suddenly, another person entered the confessional.
The person who came in to confess said, "I have an uncertainty I would like to find an answer to."
En en, go on, go on.
As he thought of this, Chi Yu started comparing the distance to the position of Thorn Castle, then started searching for where the church was, and tried his best to plan a journey.
While remembering, he diverted his attention to say those words he already repeated several times before, and after remembering the way, he then realized something was wrong.
"When I was searching for you, I would repeatedly question myself—— why would you always leave me, why do you always never want to stay by my side."
"Turns out it was because you did not belong to me, so you would then wander all around, and not be willing to return to my side."
What!
Chi Yu's pupils contracted, and then, he heard Gu Wen Qiao's voice much more clearly.
"But I belong to you."
The panel of the confessional was suddenly opened. This sturdy, hardwood obstruction that originally should not snap opened up like a door, even though before this, the person inside did not want to open the door.
Chi Yu saw a black silhouette, he subconsciously lifted his hand wanting to retreat, yet got caught by the wrist, and then, the Pope dressed in long robes squeezed into this small and narrow confessional. The two crowded together in this cramped space, and along with the pushing and an uncontrollable kiss, the short robes on Chi Yu's body got messed up beyond repair. The white silk at the base of his legs tightened on the skin with a non-negligible strength, both his legs stepped on the holy and noble white robes, the ankles got grabbed, and the person beneath him used his teeth to undo the restraints between his legs.
Chi Yu's back leaned against the glass panes, and sunlight penetrated in from his back- the colourful window glass was unable to make the rays of light on the floor illuminate with a much more dream-like colour, yet allowed him to see the swaying palm-like green leaves outside the window, while vines climbed onto the lime walls stripped of its outer layer, sneaking a peak into the things happening in the confessional.
In this instant, Chi Yu's brain emerged with a familiar yet strange memory. He saw the apoptosis of the elder gods, saw white flower petals scattering down, with moss climbing up a spotless-white statue of God. In a pretty much endless swamp, a kind of eerie, scary organism was trying its best to go forward——then in the next second, Chi Yu suddenly realized, that is Gu Wen Qiao, and in his brain, the other person also turned into a human figure.
This was an endless trek, and also an unceasing rain, but finally, the pair of legs that pulled out from the swamp stepped onto the thick blanket of flowers, this blanket of flowers was that dense, and as Gu Wen Qiao walked, it covered over half his body.
Chi Yu's body trembled in waves, in the tranquil illusion of the past, he heard Gu Wen Qiao hoarsely speak up.
"Are you angry?"
"I went against the elder gods, they will soon banish me."
His legs transmitted with the feeling of damp licking, Chi Yu's hands grabbed onto Gu Wen Qiao's shoulders, and in the next second, his fingertips strongly gripped tight, emerging with a kind of taut aesthetic.
In that sea of flowers, Chi Yu heard his own voice.
"Come, hold me."
Chi Yu opened his eyes that had tears falling down due to pleasure.
That self of his from the very distant past lowered his head and kissed a pair of dry lips, then said, "Alright, go sleep."
Chi Yu's leg abruptly curved and tightened into a crescent moon, he panted, and arduously suppressed his moans.
That tongue in the hole made his sensitive intestinal flesh seem like it was struck by a weak electrical current, he could not say anything else at all- in the narrow confessional, his beloved was pressing on him, sucking out his juices.
They seemed like they were having an affair- the messy clothes revealed nail-like standing nipples between them, they bulged in the air, and steamed red from the rising hot air.
Chi Yu's entire chest was turning hot, perhaps the heart truly was the other place humans stored their own feelings, so it always would intensely beat like this, making people unable to calm down.
Finally, this passionate and hurried tangling stopped.
Chi Yu legs slid down from Gu Wen Qiao's shoulders to the butt curve, and he very arduously wrapped around Gu Wen Qiao's neck.
And then lightly kissed him.
This kiss seemed much more like he was consoling him, but Chi Yu did not think that right after this, the surroundings would suddenly change.
Gu Wen Qiao's eyes slowly expanded, then obediently knelt on the ground, like a worshipper saying their prayers while Chi Yu's clothes were still in a mess. Gu Wen Qiao's forehead propped on his abdomen, he touched that fluffy head for the time being, not knowing what he should say.
But much more was a type of terrifying confusion. The scenery in front of his eyes all collapsed, all the castles, fields, all of it disappeared without a trace, and turned into a span of light. Only this confessional and the wall behind him still existed, and even those vines and leaves were still shaking a few times.
Within the span of white, a person suddenly appeared. The other person's looks were frivolous, carrying an ever-present ridicule, but when he looked at Chi Yu, his expression twisted for a bit, then very awkwardly opened up, "Pops."
Chi Yu got shocked.
He didn't remember having a son like this!
Gu Wen Qiao was still kneeling there, after the other person very obviously observed Gu Wen Qiao, he then relaxed, and said to Chi Yu, "What's the shock for, Pops, if you didn't suddenly leave, would I have to work this hard?"
And then, he finally seemed to remember something, then opened his mouth in enlightenment, "You sealed your memories again."
After understanding this, the other person maintained a relatively estranged distance, "You can just call me N(ee)ya."
After speaking, he slightly excitedly asked Chi Yu, "How is it, is this quest fun?"
Fun?
"I designed a lot of really fun things, like the evil cult, flesh and blood-eating feudal lords, pure-white worshippers that wander all around in the night, dangerous cities where after being seen in the day, one would be caught to be turned into blood servants- of course, you won't die, you would be taken away by Father. In my plans, to complete the quest, in the end, you would find a drug that can make Father sleep, then hurriedly run off to Thorn Castle——" Nya's face revealed a slightly excited smile, "And then, you would realize, that is only an empty Thorn Castle! And you would not know, Father is the person needing your kiss."
...
Chi Yu looked at him, and silently sighed.
Nya's nature looked to be too vile.
He did not say anything, yet Nya instead excitedly asked him, "How did you find out?"
"Actually... I just felt like kissing him for a bit."
"No way!" Nya pretty much subconsciously refuted, "Father's chaotic consciousness created too many different personalities, his personality this time is clearly the type that Pops hates the most, that type of character with a strong desire to monopolize and also likes forcing others, how could you possibly kiss him out of your own will?"
Chi Yu did not know what he should say at all.
He paused, then asked, "So you are Gu Wen Qiao's child, and also my child?"
Nya froze for a few seconds, then said, "Ah, this name? If it's like this, then yes."
But afterwards, he shook his head again, "But not born from you, Father created us three. In truth, Pops, everything afterwards still needs your help. If Father really wakes up, then..."
Nya's face revealed a slightly terrified expression, but he very soon bid his farewell to Chi Yu, "In any case, you must pay a bit more attention."
Chi Yu hung his eyes down and looked at the person in front of him.
He was sleeping very comfortably.
Eh, then what about this?
Then, the system finally popped up with a window saying the quest was finished, and Chi Yu returned to his personal space.
Just as he went out, he immediately regretted it a bit- he did not bring out any quest tools, nor did he obtain any extra title rewards, though the quest calculations finished, he only got points for this quest.
He returned to the real world, then subconsciously sat up, wanting to go find Gu Wen Qiao.
Bam——
Chi Yu covered his forehead, and his expression unbearably twitched a bit.
He completely forgot he was in a machine. When getting up, his head fiercely smashed into the inner wall, and immediately swelled with a blue and purple bump.
Just when he was climbing out from the machine while holding his forehead, he suddenly heard a series of chaotic warning sounds.
And then, he saw the door in front of him get pushed open. Greyish-white fog then leaked out from the gaps of the door.
