The sea was turbulent, and two knights with crossed swords slept on a rocky beach. They looked very tired, and one of the knights slept unaware that Death had come beside them. And another knight, as the protagonist of this story, opened his eyes and silently looked at the mournful figure wearing a black cloak. Before that, the sound of waves that looked small but rich in crisis came from the sea full of crisis. After the dark reefs that represent the danger, the chess board that runs through as a clue appears for the first time, this time we are on the black side. And when the chessboard is turned for the first time, the direction of the black and white chess is not towards any of the god of death or the knights, but the black chess is still placed in front of us, as if we want to take the initiative in our hands . But in the next second, Reaper obtained the right to use black chess in a human way. Death smiled and said that this was perfect, the knight did not respond to him, his bravery gave him this chance to find redemption, but his true human emotions made him have to be afraid to tremble, and then offer his weaknesses one by one . Just like the words of the god of death did not get his response this time. The knight carefully fiddled with the pieces on his chessboard, planning a layout. Death was watching his opponent. Each has his own way, and each wants to win the other. But in terms of momentum, the first knights had already lost. When the knights leave the beach, when the song crosses the grass and the autumn forest to the place where there are people, they start to find some companions, some people who died of sickness, poverty or fear, people who live but also live in fear and pain . The righteous man is trying to save his companions and his beliefs, while the terrifying villain draws terrifying devils and plagues on the murals to scare his companions. There is no real peace of mind in the holy churches, all are covered with shadows and ugly frescoes and confessional chambers where Death can come and go. The villain lives alone in his own world, doing the ugliest things in the most holy place, but no one knows and no one stops him, and the two bright and holy knights who have finally waited for him turn a blind eye to his actions. Walking out the door, the knight found that it was the pagans from the god of death who were screaming in pain. She is also a human with emotions and perceptions. The holy Crusader knight expressed his confusion but was told by others to let him leave with ignorant reasons. Stealing and other behaviors can be seen everywhere, but the dumb girl is pure and kind but almost maliciously hurt by ugliness. As a squire of the Holy Knight, he asks for the reward of others, trying to find the pleasure of human nature in this place where the order has begun to disintegrate. Audiences who have today and tomorrow won't throw their gold coins on the clown who makes them laugh, although all they have is entertainment. They play tricks on the performers in their own farce to achieve their inner pleasure of forgetting the pain. And all the clown thinks about is the thrill of finding a new body in a new place. Everyone is having fun because they have no purpose, no tomorrow, no hope. And the only hopeful two groups - the knight duo and the acrobat family of three, the knights are looking for the chips they put on the chessboard when they fight against the god of death, and the family of three is more concerned about tomorrow's food and each other's care. They all have the hope of life, and their hope can also be passed on to more people. The poor betrayed blacksmith, influenced by his attendants, has hope of life. And of course the poor blacksmith's wife and the holy knight waiting in the cellar for his lover. They begin to have their own hope, whether it's just for survival or for someone or even for a game of death. The clown's play is a tool for entertainment and diversion, while the flogging of one's own redemption team is a typical escape from the pain of real life. The redemption team shouted their own uniform slogans, with a heavy face and a vision that seemed to correspond to reality. Maybe it shocked the crowd more, but for ordinary people, it may be the funny clown performance that makes them more happy. In a game of chess, there is no permanent first move and no permanent second move. No matter who has the upper hand in the chess game, those who have the upper hand should not show the brilliance of underestimating the enemy, and those who have the lower should not show the timidity of depression. The Cavaliers committed this opportunity when they had the upper hand. Naturally, he was brought into the ravine of death by the god of death. The brilliance of humanity sprinkled on the lawn, and the encouragement given by the crowd allowed the knight to obtain this good fortune, but the next good fortune did not come as soon as possible. Entering the jungle was a heroic act, leading a group of people of all shapes and sizes. In fact, they didn't seem to be afraid, but the god of death had already ambush the final judgment and lured them into the isolation of thorns. In this black and dead economy, there is the flame of judgment, the extension of sin, the distortion of human nature, and the threat of virus. When all the evils of human nature are revealed from here, the so-called defense line constructed by the knights will be destroyed with a single blow. After the strong wind and lightning, everyone stood on the hillside holding hands and danced a crazy dance. It was the last rhapsody of life, and it was the sonata under the smile of death. The dumb girl spoke, and her faith collapsed to ashes. Is this world worth loving? Is it worth living? Perhaps only death has left us the answer. But the ending doesn't seem to be completely definitive yet. When there is more than a crisis under the tide, a psychic, as the chosen one of God, leads his atheist wife and a newborn on the road of performing a clown. A psychic can see all kinds of gods and ghosts in the world. He expects the appearance of gods to be just a way to talk and secure his position. Atheists only care about their future life. Newborn babies don't know anything about bare buttocks. Waiting for the comfort of father and mother. They are the reference of human beings, representing the appearance of all normal human beings. They are greedy for life and fear death, and save the danger outside themselves. In this confrontation between the gods and the gods of death after the seventh seal was uncovered, human beings, as creatures in the cracks, suffered heavy casualties and became more and more cowardly and caring only about their own lives. They fled the battlefield, wanting to go into the sunshine of a new life. Perhaps in many years, the psychic will return to this beach with a sword, wearing a crusader costume, and riding a tall horse. The beginning of the next story is the end of this story. The story of God, death and human beings has never really ended. As long as there is life, soul and thought, such discussions will go on endlessly. The next war like this may not be because of the seventh seal, but it will always make mankind suffer more, and whether it is because of the development of technology and medicine, whether people believe in God or not, and believe that these so-called religious saints exist even if they exist. It's just a human-defined husk.
