As Bro Lunlang explained, Angor learned more secrets.
Just as Angor speculated, the so-called "dead space" was just another dimension inside the Confinement.
This dimension overlapped with Ghost Town, which was similar to a fairytale world.
In the death dimension, not only were there mountains and forests in the Confinement, even the houses and buildings of Guste Town were replicated exactly like those in the death dimension. However, there were no living beings in the Death Dimension. It only belonged to the undead.
"Everyone she killed is in the space of the dead. It's a place where living beings cannot enter. It's the real world of the undead! "
At this point, Bran Lang finally began to talk about the "she" that he kept mentioning.
Before he could say "she", Bro Lunlang spoke about a memory that did not belong to him.
The memory not only told Bro Lunlang about his mission, but also briefly mentioned the truth about the Confinement, as well as the person who helped him in the Confinement.
And this person was "her".
Bro Lunlang did not mention "her" name. Instead, he referred to her in the third person. "My mission was to kill you, Alex.
Her mission was to eliminate those who knew the truth about the Confinement, and to turn it into a slaughterhouse once you entered. " Bro Lunlang paused. "Those who tried to leave Ghost Town were killed by the undead under her control.
"The memory told me that she was my assistant. But after careful observation, I realized that she was more like a substitute. Or rather, an overseer."
If she were to use a stage play as a comparison, although she and Bro Lang belonged to the same superior, they were actually playing two different roles. Bro Lunlang was in charge of killing Alex, while Angor was in charge of assisting him.
How was she supposed to assist him? Angor's job was to push a peaceful script into a strange and bloody one.
But now, Bro Lunlang was not doing his job. Instead of killing Alex, he even allowed Alex to stay.
As a result, even though Angor wanted to push the script to a horrifying ending, she was stuck halfway through.
"She couldn't do anything because she had different powers. She had to endure all these years," Bro Lunlang said, "until Lady Connie escaped. That gave her a chance."
According to her duty, she had to kill the escapees with all her might and protect the truth of the Confinement from being discovered by the people inside.
Originally, she could only kill those who knew the truth. But because of Mrs. Connie's disappearance, she had an excuse to reach into the town of Guster and openly bring the revenant in.
"What she did was actually an experiment. Within the rules that only belonged to her, how could she push this cage towards the world she wanted to become? Anthony and Martin, who died in the beginning, were actually her experiments. She was trying to see if she could take the initiative to let the two of them see the undead, and then use it to discover the truth and kill them. "
"As it turned out, her method was successful."
"After tasting the sweetness, she began to slaughter without restraint. Her final goal was to turn Guste into a ghost town. All humans will become undead. "
Perhaps if one were to listen to it like this, it would be somewhat baffling. The people living in Guste were like caged birds, and she was going to kill them in the end. Why did they have to keep the truth of the Confinement a secret? Why did they have to follow such a strange rule? Bran Lang's explanation was very vague. He only said that the creator of the Confinement had set it up.
Although he did not understand the meaning behind it, this kind of behavior to cover up the truth of killing was actually not uncommon in reality.
Bran Lang continued, "The reason why I said that is because she was doing an experiment. Not only was she testing the bottom line of her own rules, she was also testing my bottom line. "
"Just as I understood her, she understood me very well. She knew that if I did not have a special reason, I would not kill you. "
"So, she started with the 'balance' that I wanted to maintain the most. She broke the peaceful life in Guste, made the people panic, and caused the undead to rise everywhere. She wanted to turn this place into a ghost town, and used this as a pretext to force me to make a move against you. "
"I thought that was her plan, but the scene just now made me understand. Not only did she want to force me to make a move, but she also wanted to kill me. After killing me, even if she still could not go beyond the rules, she would be completely free from my restrictions. When that time comes, it would only be a matter of time before she wanted to turn Guste into a ghost town. "
Of course, in the end, Alex would not be able to escape.
After Bran Lang finished speaking, Alex was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Was it her who took away the bodies and limbs of those people?"
Bran Lang nodded, and said softly, "Only a twisted life can nourish new life."
Alex's eyes flashed with understanding, "I understand now. The truth did surprise me. However, when I found out that this world was a cage, I already prepared myself for the worst. "
"Thank you." Alex half bowed, and was very polite to Bran Lang.
He was not only thanking Bran Lang for telling him the truth, but also for letting him stay in the first place.
He remembered that when he floated along the raging river to Guste, Bran Lang was the first person to discover him. At that time, he had almost drowned in the water, but Bran Lang had reached out to him, and pulled him to the shore. After that, Alex fell into a coma. When he woke up, it was already two days later.
Bran Lang's mission was to kill Alex. During those two days when Alex was unconscious, it was easy to imagine what kind of psychological struggle Bran Lang was in.
If Alex had been in Bran Lang's position, he might not have disobeyed the mission in his heart, and would have just killed himself on the spot. Even if he knew that those memories did not belong to him.
But Alex held on, or perhaps it could be said that in that moment, his religious faith defeated the impulse in his heart.
Originally, Alex was very grateful to Bran Lang for saving his life. Now that he thought about it, Bran Lang had not only saved him, but the debt he owed him was even greater.
After thanking him solemnly, Alex raised his head and said, "If your wish is to maintain the balance of this cage, I will find a way to do it for you."
Bran Lang wanted to say something, but at that moment, the sheriff and the viscount's housekeeper walked over.
"Lord Viscount invites Father Bran Lang over," the housekeeper said.
Bran Lang nodded, "I understand."
A group of people walked out of the garden, and Bran Lang and Viscount Vega began to talk. Alex stood under the shade of a tree in the distance, looking back in the direction of Guste.
On the surface, the town seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and everyone was living in fear. However, thanks to Bran Lang's efforts, the balance was not completely broken yet.
Since Father Bran Lang only wanted to maintain the balance, Alex decided to give it a try, even if it was just an illusion.
"You're going to let Connie out?" Angor asked.
Alex shook his head. "She's just an excuse. Even if we manage to maintain the balance, she's still a huge threat."
"How do you plan to maintain the balance then?"
"Kill her," Alex said without hesitation, "and that's the only way to end everything."
Killing her was an option to eliminate all future troubles. It was not hard to understand why Alex would make such a decision.
"Do you know who she is?" Angor didn't ask how Alex was going to kill the woman.
Bran Lang never mentioned her name, so he did not know who she was. But judging from Alex's reaction, it seemed that Alex already knew who he was going to kill.
"Mister Padt, do you know why the flowers in the graveyard are always blooming?" Alex did not wait for Angor to answer. Instead, he whispered the answer in a low voice, "Because only a distorted life can nurture the brightest new life."
Angor still did not understand what Alex was trying to say.
At this time, Alex suddenly said: "Iris flower, in the teachings of Father God, is a flower that leads the dead to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There are many irises in the garden of Kruje Church. You can see them from my balcony.
"Don't you think those irises are beautiful, Mister Padt?"
