Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

Life has no value. ’

This conclusion was reached by Jack a second before he approached the 'catalog'.

In Jack's memory, this was the first time he had stood so close to Nameless, only this time there was not just one, but five Nameless were standing in front of him, and they showed their concern to Jack, but Jack was not happy at all, because the tone of condolence was so false.

The nameless people have changed, at least the nameless one that Jack knows has changed, the nameless in his impression is strong and flexible, but now the nameless have become a group of thin old men, and the traces of aging are engraved on their foreheads, and Jack can't help but wonder if they, who were once strong, can still kill a person quietly now?

The

change of the nameless people not only happened in appearance, but also in their conversation, they were strict and ruthless in the past, and now even the tone of their speech has a bit of the flavor of a market businessman, and even the micro-expressions are much more in the conversation, but they are not businessmen from beginning to end, but the leader of the killer organization Black Flag, so after a brief chat, they said their purpose.

"We need you to help us finish the thing we didn't do seven years ago. "

Immediately, one of the nameless took out the gray-and-white striped 'catalog' and ordered Jack to touch his hand.

They never gave up experimenting with the 'catalog', even though thousands of people had died and the entire Black Flag had almost perished.

Jack doesn't know where their intense desires come from, and can only blame the 'catalog' for everything, but that's why he's completely disappointed in the nameless, and he's also disappointed in himself.

He remembered everyone he had killed, and remembered that he had never helped anyone who was about to die, and if it wasn't for that hunt, he probably wouldn't have changed now, but... How much have you changed now?

As a result, he is just the same person as Nameless, an existence that the ideal township will not accommodate.

Since the ideal country can't, what about the ideal country of the dawning god?

Jack recalled Zwei's words, as long as the value of life can be understood, the soul of a person after death will go to the ideal country, and Jack's understanding of the ideal country is that it contains everything, a place where there is no death and strife.

But I have never understood the value of life, and it is estimated that the nameless people are the same, thinking that death is death, and in this world, there will be no one to pay tribute to people when they die, and adults will exchange newborn babies for their own survival, and those who grow up smoothly are just lucky.

But then again, is it good to grow up smoothly?

Jack looked back on his life, from birth to fleeing, from fleeing to being sold to the Black Flag, and after several years of training, he began a career as a killer with no end in sight, followed by hunting and bloody battles, the change from the Age of Light to the Age of Law, just when he felt that he had finally broken free from the shackles of the Black Flag, but he embarked on a wandering journey, life could not be worse, but now seven years later, he returned to the original place by coincidence, but unfortunately there is no room for him here.

Sure enough, life has no value. ’

Thinking so, Jack stretched out his hand and placed his hand on the 'directory' of the 'Assassins', and at the same time, infinite remorse and unwillingness welled up in his heart, and the vision of an ideal country more perfect than the Nu foyer appeared in his fantasy, fantasizing that he would be so happy if he could be born in that land.

The

moment he touched the catalog, a golden light appeared in front of Jack's eyes, and at the end of that light there was a plain overgrown with young grass, and in the middle of the plain sat a small village, and he stared at the people who appeared in the village, staring at the familiar faces, in which there were his former family members, those he had killed with his own hands, and those who he had never saved, and they gathered together to drink and chat, as if nothing had happened.

"Golden... The real 'Assassins', Arthas said true!the real Lost!".

The

golden glow of the sky surrounded the catalog and Jack, illuminating everything, and the Nameless screamed, but the voice could no longer reach Jack's ears at this time, and he was looking at the scene that only he could see, tears welling up in his eyes, and he kept saying 'I'm sorry'.

The moment he touched the catalog, Jack felt the power, he saw in the golden light the phantom turned into a human form, detached from his body, and came into contact with the catalog, which was the so-called soul shape, and the power from the catalog poured into his soul like a stream of water, embedded in his soul, and he understood the reason why the nameless people were so keen on the 'catalog', so powerful enough to make a person fall into the abyss of desire for the rest of his life.

Jack is immersed in the power of the 'Catalog' of desires, a desire that evokes a dark side that he has never noticed, the desire to kill Nameless, to destroy the Black Flag once and for all, to get rid of the nightmare that has always bound him, and this desire even makes him forget what he really wants to do, forget the ideal country he has made up and chased.

So Jack heard, heard the bursts of persuasion and whispering from the golden light, and his anger and hatred instantly dissipated in the extremely gentle words, and his vision was once again shrouded in golden light, and he tried to chase the light, just to chase the golden light that represented salvation, and to tell his prayers, so the light answered him, so that he could see the view at the end of the light.

At the end of the golden light, there is no sense of fiction beyond reality, only the reality placed in it, that is the ideal country that Jack has always wanted to chase, the place he would rather do everything to build, in fact, it has long existed, not only the ideal country in the dream, but the real ideal country.

The 'Catalog' is the bridge that connects everything, revealing an alternate reality that Jack desires before his eyes.

"Every human life has value, a value that is special, unique, and unique. "

"Life has no value", Jack repeated his conclusion to the whispers in the light, the image of the dead in his mind, they died so simply, starved, killed, died by accident, "Those who die have no value, their deaths can't change anything, and even some people die painfully without doing anything, so what's the value of that? Why... Why was I born in this damn world..."

The golden light that gathered slowly turned into granularity, and the particles of light fell from top to bottom, which was a view that only Jack could see.

"Please don't regret being born into this world, I will be very sad because of your thoughts. "

"Grief? will you grieve for me? Why?".

"Because I have witnessed too much, the lost children go the wrong way but will not turn back, before they find the value of the soul born in the world and fall into the abyss, that is not the life you should experience, you should learn to turn back, learn to be strong, in a long time to find the path you should take. "

"Who the hell are you?".

The light did not answer the question and slowly dissipated.

Nameless watched the light dissipate, and stepped forward, ready to get back the 'Assassin''s 'catalog' from Jack's hands, fighting that they were not ready to give the 'catalog' to Jack in the first place, even if they knew that he was the only one in ten thousand, a lost person who was truly recognized by the 'catalog', they were not prepared to give the catalog to him.

Nameless's purpose is only to complete the experiment on the 'catalog', even if it fails, they will not stop, but will start hunting one after another, until the experiment is really successful, but this time they were negligent, the people recognized by the white light's 'catalog' only get a trace of the 'catalog' power, and Jack, who got the golden light, just glanced at them at this time, and the fear spread throughout their bodies in an instant, making them unable to move.

"I understand my value, and I will lead all those who are lost to the ideal country. "

With that, Jack turned around and handed over the directory to an unnamed person, something that no one had thought about, and he refused to participate in the ensuing bloody battle, refused to own the catalog, and left the Black Flag without looking back.

No one knows what Jack saw at that time, and only Nameless knows that Jack touched the 'catalog', but after that, he completely changed, no longer coveting power, but turned to a bright path as a way to atone for his past sins.

In the year 1167 of the Aurora, the Numen Hall ushered in a priesthood who was extremely devout to the Aurora God, and he spread the knowledge of the Aurora God in the Numen Hall with the goal of crossing the souls of people into the ideal realm.

"The ideal country is real. "
