Chapter 7

So cold!

Why is it so cold everywhere? A cold that pierces the heart...

Is that hell not as hot as lava but as cold as ice?

Is it dead?

But it doesn't accept...

Clause Chen, it still wants to live, still wants to find happiness...

It does not serve! God is unfair, so unfair to it...

Clause Struggling trying to get out of his darkness to find some light of hope, but all it had was the quiet night that surrounded him. Cold breaths and pitiful cries are scratching this sinful soul.

Clause hoping, trying to resist but still helpless, reaching out to grab a fulcrum but forever touching nothingness.

Pain...

Hopeless...

Maybe that's what it feels like right now, wanting someone to reach out to save itself, but suddenly realizing that it has existed until now and is still alone.

Solitary...

Mourning...

There are no friends and no close people even if there are, they will probably disappear soon!

"The son wants to come here with his mother."

Clause Hearing someone's call, he vaguely looked up ahead for a moment, and the dark scene from a moment ago disappeared, replaced by a sprawling field of fragrant flowers. In the distance, there was a man and woman holding hands. The couple turned towards him with a happy smile.

"Xiao Meng quickly come here so I can give you a hug."

"She's not my mother." Clause The cold exit retreated backward, but what came into contact with it was the thick cold wall. The breath of death also surrounded it from nowhere.

"Xiao Clause don't you accept me?"

She cried, each heavy tear kept falling and mixed with the cool drizzle. But for it, it was extremely cold, cold-like cutting flesh.

"I am your mother, this is your mother."

"You're not my mother, stay away."

"It's your mother! I'm your mother."

Clause panicked looking at the beautiful woman just now turned into a person like a witch. The blood-stained man's tears were not transparent, but red, and his thin hands and sharp claws reached out to him as if he wanted to bring Clause's flesh and skin. torn into a hundred pieces.

"Don't come here! Get away from me."

"Good child, come here and come here with me."

The clause being grabbed by that woman, the whole body suddenly ached, like an electric current was running all over the body. Every place it went through made that place excruciatingly painful. Clause It felt as if all the suffering was surrounding it, scratching and devouring it without leaving a single piece of white bone.

It desperately wanted to raise a scream, a cry for help, but it received a quiet sound.

Impotent...

Pain...

This place is too dark! Too cold, even a little light doesn't have all... all that is left is darkness around.

"Temple for me."

"Crazy, I should have killed you in the bud."

"You bastard give me back my family! Give me back my family, I'll turn into a ghost if I die."

Little Clause trembled and tried to hide, but couldn't. It seemed to vaguely feel so many... so many hands holding it. Some begged, others used all their strength to take away its thin skin.

"It's not my fault."

"... Please forgive me."

"Die! Die! Come down here with me and suffer the damnation."

"Don't want! Don't want to." Clause Stand up, move forward, and run away, but you can't see the light when you go and go forever...

It's tiring!

It's hungry!

And thirsty too...

"With me... Die with me."

"I was wrong! Huh, I was wrong!" Clause Chen fell with sharp iron hands that kept pulling its legs to that end of darkness. One hand, the other, was deeply embedded in the flesh. He realized that the blood had already flowed, but the pain was extraordinary. Every time it comes in, it seems to want to take away half of this small life... can't scream nor fight back and let them control themselves.

"Save me please someone saves me." Clause shouted, screaming until his throat burned, but only heard the echoes.

"Your son is forever alone, no one in this world needs you anymore."

The small hand reached forward to find support but was helpless to lower it. Then he lifted it and wiped away the heavy tears that fell.

"That's right! Is there anyone in this world who needs it?" Clause cried, used all the remaining strength to cry in despair. Because he knew that no one... no one would ever save such a corrupt soul, a child engulfed in darkness. At the bottom of that deep abyss, who is brave enough?

"Clue."

"Clause, you mustn't give up."

Who?

Who is speaking?

Clause He looked back and tried to get up, fell once, and stood up once again, that warm voice seemed to give him strength. But who is that person? Yet, having never known it, it felt very familiar.

"Do your best! You will never be alone."

"Chen, don't give up, your life is not lost because of this little hurt."

"Clause Chen is awake. I will be with you, I won't watch you leave like that."

"I promise! I promise to bring you back this time, and won't let anyone hurt you again. Clause I won't let you give up."

The screams also gradually disappeared, he suddenly realized that his legs no longer had anyone to hold, the pain just disappeared.

Each sentence made its legs more firmly move forward, even though it was only covered in darkness in front of them, but there was no submissiveness... such tenacity to hold back the pain to continue.

Clause looked ahead and flashed a panicked light, reaching out his hand to grab it.

It still has a chance... it can still live. It cannot give up. Because there is inherently someone out there waiting for it, interested in its life.

And when it stood at the border of birth and death, it kept calling its name. Clause wants to meet, wants to see who it is, so it can't give up and dare not betray that person's belief...

Yes, there was once a man like that who told him that he must live well, and must be happy every day. When you're sad, you'll cry when you're happy, because everyone has a heart and a place to go to. It's the same, so it wants to live, wants to find a home for itself when tired and can return.

"I want to live want to live."
