back to innocence

The promotion of "Night of Asmodeus" before its release was not strong, and it can only be said to be within the average intensity.But because the situation itself is eye-catching, the effect of ordinary publicity is also very obvious.

But from the first day of release, the way of publicity has changed from the norm.

On the first day of the film's release, Fei Yizhen released the novella "Crazy Girl" on all platforms.

"Madwoman" tells the story of a female supporting character who is a penitent in "Nights of Asmodeus".

It is said that she is a confessor, but in the plot, she has not made any remarks similar to "repentance".This woman was of noble birth and married her cousin.Because the family has always had difficulty in bearing children, a woman attaches great importance to the child in her belly when she is pregnant.

As a result, the child born was a deformed child.

This was a disgrace to the noble family, so no matter how much the woman struggled, her child was taken away and disposed of.

Women are driven mad by it.

In the movie, the woman is a lunatic who has been locked in a room all year round, but every week she will be taken to the church and asked to confess her sins to the priest.

Because everyone thinks that she is the one who bears the sin, so she will give birth to the devil's child.

There is no ending for the woman in the movie, and she is just a very ordinary, sad and pitiful person that the priest has seen in his life.

But in the released short story, it gave the woman an ending.

In the movies, women like children, but no one wants a crazy person to touch their children, so women always go crazy after the child is taken away.

When women are locked up in the house, they like to look out through the windows covered with iron bars, because occasionally children will run past in the street.She always stared greedily at the figures of children, as if she could see her own children from them.

Until one day, a ragged beggar girl looked around and walked to her window sill, found a place under the window sill that could shelter the rain, curled up in a ball, and lived there.

That girl is not like other kids who just pass by her window and disappear in no time.

The woman looked greedily at her small body, thin arms, and dirty hair.

She didn't sleep the whole night that night, seeing the girl sleeping under the window all the time.When it was almost dawn, the girl woke up, and when she looked up, she saw a distorted and terrifying face inside the window, with eyes that were a little protruding.

The girl let out a scream of extreme terror.

The woman seemed to be frightened as well, and sat in front of the window in a daze.

Then the girl's hand touched a piece of soft fabric.

It was an old velvet dress, which fell beside her. The woman's voice was clumsy and jerky, and she said, "...cold...for you..."

……

What is the form of love?

Maybe no one can tell.

But the sincere and gentle feelings always make people want to smile and cry.

Almost a weekly character design plus novella, "Mad Girl", "Knight", "Lies", "Witch"...in a very peculiar way, it drove the screening of the movie, making countless yes or no Fans of Fei Yizhen's book walked into the cinema and watched the movie.The broadcast of the movie also drove the sales of the peripherals of the story, and the number of Fei Yizhen's fans soared to a new high again.

It seems that people all over the world are talking about this movie.

Chen Qi waited for the book, trying to pretend that the movie ticket next to him didn't actually exist, but his attention was still being drawn away.

Although it is a library where noise is prohibited, there are still two girls in front of them who seem to be whispering to each other, but are actually discussing the content of the movie "Night of Asmodeus" loudly.

Chen Qi was extremely irritable.

In fact, he also wanted to transfer the movie tickets to anyone, but the reality is that he doesn't even have a close enough relationship to give movie tickets to anyone.

Finally he closed the book, stuffed the ticket into his pocket, and walked out of the library.

In the movie theater, the logo of Estar is simple and full of sense of technology, while the logo of Huafeng is a little more gorgeous.

Produced by Fei Yizhen, directed by Fei Yizhen.

The opening scene is a seminary with a bright light but a cool tone. The teenager who was recommended by a local priest and the other students who were born aristocrats and targeted the cardinal were obviously out of place and even suffered from bullying.

For such bullying, Anil is actually helpless, but he doesn't think so.

This group of parasites who seek fame and fortune in the name of gods may not even memorize the Bible completely, but they are the mainstream students of this seminary.

Anil, who was born in the lower city, followed his mother in and out of church since he was a child.He was young and intelligent, and very assertive.When the local priest said he could recommend him to study in a missionary school, at first he just wanted to be able to read and write through this way, until one day he would be able to stand out.

But after attending a missionary school for a period of time, he gradually fell in love with the feeling of reading the Bible and praying.

In this era, most civilians live in poverty, but this is not something that bothers Anil.What really annoys him is that because of the polarization of status and wealth, the whole society looks very distorted and deformed.

Whether nobles and nobles, nobles and commoners, even between commoners and commoners, various conflicts often arise.In such an era, Anil, who gradually grew up and had his own ideas, found that he could not find the meaning of his life.

He can't be a nobleman, and he doesn't want to live ugly.

And at this time, he came into contact with the Bible.

The Bible was the first book he read in its entirety.

Of all the books Anil has read since then, none has been wiser or more tender.

He slowly developed the idea of ​​becoming a priest.

The beginning of the movie is the last day of his seminary.The next day, he will follow the Knights to Van Monka to take office.

Because the priest who previously served in Fanmenka died in the line of duty in order to eliminate a local witch a few days ago.The main reason why the Knights wanted to go to Fanmenka was to eliminate the witches, and they just brought Anil there along the way.

On the day they arrived at Fanmenka, the knights of the Knights broke into the witch's house, grabbed a young woman with black curly hair, and put her on the stake.

There is no trial.

The witch's eyes were very bright, even in the end, she did not beg for mercy, but tried to distinguish for herself.But the knights all said: "Ah, what a cunning witch."

Anil heard whispers in the crowd.His eyes intersected with the witch for a moment, and then he saw the message conveyed by the witch's eyes.

Her eyes seemed to say: This is just the beginning.

The body of the fat former priest was transported back to the diocese, but Anika stayed there.Various strange events began to happen in the middle of the night in the church, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him closely in the darkness.The exterior wall of the church was painted with blood letters, and ants crawled out of the twisted threat on the ground...

Under such circumstances, Anil welcomed the first believer seeking peace.

……

God may be omnipotent, but priests are not omnipotent.

All sorts of strange warnings, endless pain, and confession with all his strength... There is always a lot of pain in this world, and Anil firmly believes that the Lord must know what happened, but he is only a mortal after all.

So all he can do, after all, is to use the power of God to give people temporary peace of mind.

His favorite saying is "you are forgiven".

Maybe this kind of comfort can't solve any problems, but it can temporarily relax people's minds.This is the reason why he loves the position of priest so much. If he can soothe the pain of others, then no matter how corrupt the diocese is, God will always be there.

Until he meets Julian.

……

The young man has bright blond hair and a very sunny smile.When Anil saw each other for the first time in front of church one morning, Anil thought he had met an angel.

The young man's name is Julian.

He sometimes came back to church, but not to pray or confess, but often just sat quietly in the last row of the auditorium, listening to others pray or singing hymns.After getting acquainted, they will greet Anil shyly.

Because of his good temperament, Anil thought he was a rich young man from some family at first.

But then he knew it wasn't.

Julian seldom comes to church when there are many people, but despite this, Anil still overhears a rich lady swearing at him when they meet by chance.

"...whore's son...disgusting thing..."

That night, Julian told Anil about his background.

His mother was originally a beautiful peasant girl, but he was born to a knight who passed by and stayed at her house.For this his mother was kicked out of the house and ended up as a tavern girl.

Julian was often beaten when he was a child, and his body was always bruised and purple.His mother was often drunk, and beat him and abused him when she was drunk, because it was his existence that caused her misfortune.

But when he was sober, she would silently prescribe medicine for him and say sorry in a very soft voice.

Julian knew that his mother loved him, although loving him was a very difficult thing.

He never doubted his mother's words. Although many people would use very insulting words to imply that she had seduced the knight who came to live with him, but he knew that she was not that kind of person.

After listening to Julian's story that day, Anil said to him, "It's not your fault."

Neither birth nor suffering is wrong.What I have to say is, "God has great expectations for you, so he gave you more suffering, because the more noble the heart has experienced the suffering, the more courageous and firm it is."

After that day, Anil had a lot of affection for Julian, and the communication between the two also increased.

Anil is a priest who is very popular with the townspeople.He has a gentle personality, is extremely patient, and is meticulous in his work. Most people in the town like him very much.

But Anil doesn't often have personal contacts with believers.

Julian is the only exception.

They talk and hang out like buddies, occasionally exchanging information about the town.Julian doesn't often talk about his own affairs on weekdays, and rarely complains.Most of the time, he always smiles cleanly.

Until Anil found out one day that he had thoughts about the other party that he shouldn't have.

The Bible clearly stipulates that ji'jian will go to hell.

At first it was just a faint thought, as long as you try to pretend not to know, suppress it, and repent half the night before God, you can feel at ease.Wrong desires made Anil feel sinful and dirty, so he just increased his daily homework.

But as time passed, this unclean thought became more and more serious.

Julian's life is full of pain, although he rarely speaks, but Anil can see the clues in his occasional silence.For this reason, Anil always cared a little more about him.

But that kind of concern is just the compassion and love that the Lord's shepherds have for devout believers.

He told himself over and over again that if he loved Julian, it was love for pious believers.

But a demon slowly grew in his heart.

……

Perhaps the devil has been hiding somewhere long ago, and has been spying on him for many years to complain about the church, shaken his faith, and unwilling to accept reality.

Like a mad woman forced to confess by brutal behavior, like a man lingering in past crimes and his pride as a soldier... even a little beggar who is starving on the street, a stationer who is roughed up in a back alley street woman.

He never saved anyone.

Apart from comforting them softly and letting them put their pain and unwillingness to the reality behind death, there is actually nothing he can do.

But the devil had already spotted the gap in his heart and took advantage of it.His voice is full of temptation, resounding in dreams and reality, urging him to give up all struggles, all beliefs, and follow the evil desire.

In the dream, he embraces Julian.They are bound together in the most intimate way.That night, he woke up from his dream, sweating profusely, but feeling extremely empty.

——The demon has controlled his spirit, making him unable to restrain himself from wanting to harm the lamb.

Anil struggled.

Yet his struggles weren't the most harrowing of things.

Julian, who came to him that day, had several bloody wounds on his body, tears streaming down his face, and he lost his usual smile.Anil let him recuperate his wounds in the church for several days, but unexpectedly one morning, bright red writing was painted on the ground in front of the church again.

It was a black-red hexagram that looked like dried blood.

He thought again of the first day he had come to Van Moncar—the mark of those witches who believed in Satan.

But Julian came up to him and said, "It's me they're looking for...I'm getting out of here."

Anil said: "No, that's a witch's mark, it should be aimed at the church..."

But he saw Julian laughing, the first time he had smiled so mockingly, and said, "Do you really believe that's a witch? No, there never were any witches, those girls were just the victims of ugly *. "

"My mother was smashed to death by a bar hooligan with a wine bottle the night before."

Anil looked at him in astonishment: "Why?"

"They said she was a witch." Julian turned around and said softly to him, "It's ridiculous, isn't it? A witch who can't even support herself."

The real cause of Julian's mother's death was that someone didn't want her to live.Because a few days later, someone came to meet Julian, it was his father in the flesh.The knight with a petite baronet had a noble and wealthy wife, but she was never able to bear him a child.

Julian never came back.

The demon was still whispering, obviously Julian had left.But soon, his harassment could no longer affect Anil.

Because of the outbreak of the fever known as the Black Death in the town.This once invaded the whole of Europe, like a death-like disease walking in the world, threatening people's lives and spirits.The citizens fell into panic and began to migrate out one after another, and Anil also began to fall into a busy job.

In times of rampant epidemics, churches are often half a hospital.

The church has always been the institution with the most medical knowledge, and even the nobles can't match their knowledge reserves.Anil is a devout believer, even in the face of the threat of death, he will never give up his duty as a divine practitioner.

But even so, people continue to die.

Even with all the care, caregivers who are on the front lines of contact with sick people are still vulnerable to infection.

Many times when Anil went to bed at night, he was not sure that he would be fine tomorrow.At times like this, he always wondered, where is Julian now?How is he?

Perhaps it was because the god finally decided to bless his devout believers, or because it was handled properly and the isolation measures were implemented in time, Van Monka's disease was finally brought under control.

The parish headquarters commended Anil for his contribution to the treatment of the epidemic, but Anil rushed to Julian's father's territory immediately.But when he arrived, he found out that the manor had an accident a few days ago and collapsed.

And the owner of the manor, Julian's father, died of the epidemic a few days ago.

No one has heard from Julian.

He walked through the cracks and cracks in the rocks, and walked through the ruins all the way, digging through layers of rubble with trembling hands, all the way into the deepest part of the ruins.

Then he saw a figure.The man had brilliant blond hair and leaned against the wall as if asleep.

Anil was suddenly ecstatic, and he walked over quickly, but finally slowly, slowly, as if shrouded in fear, he slowed down.

That figure was pinned alive to the wall.

Mutilated bodies, cruel sights.Julian's body was nailed into a twisted cross shape on the wall. The wounds on his limbs had begun to rot, and there were even scavengers crawling inside.

Then Anil heard a groan.

He was still alive.

Ah, what a cruel sight.

God, how can you be so cruel?

Julian moaned softly, Anil's trembling fingers lightly touched his cheek, and then he heard him cry, "...Anil..."

"……kill me……"

How can I save you?With soft words, with weak tears, or with this dirty soul?But you must go to heaven, because you have never committed any crime.

God tells us not to be resentful, indulgent, or narrow-minded... God, I will obey all your oracles.But why do you take your pious lamb and let him be slaughtered, cooked, and eaten?

It wasn't just wounds on Julian's body. He had a high fever and pneumonia.On his ankles, there were wounds gnawed by rats, emitting a rancid smell.

There were tears on his face, and he couldn't even utter a full sentence otherwise.He could only plead with tears in his eyes: "...Kill me..."

"……sorry……"

...to make such unreasonable demands on you.

The last thing Julian left was bright red tears.

This year, the Black Death ravaged the entire land of Europe, and countless people died.And although the Knight of Giet near Fanmenka died not of fever, but of ordinary wind and cold, his wife contracted fever on the way to Saqqara.

It is said that the baroness was extremely cruel during her lifetime. She had killed several of the baron's lovers by cruel means, and even a commoner woman who was occupied by the baron.After the downfall of the Kit family, the townspeople found several corpses in the Kit family's manor, all of which were girls who had disappeared once.
