Spiritual Qi Resurgence, Gods descending?
Continuous disasters, all living beings suffering?
What does it have to do with me? I'm just a patient with an incurable disease, who's been given up on treatment and has a countdown to death.
Embarking on the path of exorcising demons and annihilating immortals with my crippled body is not for the sake of protecting my family and country, but because the hazardous duty pay is too tempting, especially the compensation...
"This Evil Gods profession system is cursed, even if there's smooth progress in the early stages, the practitioners will eventually commit suicide..."
"Give me a set."
"This Demon Sword poisons its user and has already taken ninety-nine lives..."
"Give me two, and also that man-eating demonic helmet, soul-devouring blood claws, get me a set."
"This Magic Potion is harmful to heaven and earth..."
"Enough talk, I'll take them all!"
However, the problem is, why am I still alive after taking on all these high-risk missions, stepping on every risk, and doing every deadly task?
【Congratulations, congratulations! Ranked first among the Top Ten Heroes Who Moved the World...】
"...Heavens, wasn't the average life expectancy in this line of work three and a half years? I've been here for one cycle of three years after another, I'm almost an S-level hunter, the first of the top ten heroes! Why am I still alive? I just want to make an honor sacrifice, scam some compensation! Is that so hard?!"
Cousin Richard is seen to be alive and well in this film, as he evades death countless times. Although this time, things are different. Cousin Richard's death in 'Father, cousin Richard survived' after the first crusade was shown to be long-lasting. His body remained in place for a long amount of time. This directly contrasts Richard's death in this short film. But what does this mean? Well there are two conclusions that could be drawn here. Either Cousin Richard is powering up, in an attempt to overthrow Father. Or the darker, and worse conclusion - the one I personally believe: Son was holding back on Cousin Richard. This unfortunate conclusion has more than enough proof to be a reasonable suspicion. In 'Son, have you been simping recently?' Son is seen telling Father that Cousin Richard has survived, through discord DMs. However, directly contrasting this, Son acts as if he does not know that Cousin Richard was alive in 'Father, cousin Richard survived'. But what does this mean? It could be that Son's heretic mind is protecting Cousin Richard. [22:16] Another piece of evidence for Son's heresy is the quote 'Maybe they're onto something' after reading the heresy brought to him by Cousin Richard. This piece of foreshadowing occurs after Father has disappeared from a distance where he could hear Son. This dramatic line tells a chilling narrative: it shows Son's descent into heresy and madness. Cousin Richard's influence over Son will always be there. Cousin Richard has been allowed to live by Son, as Son is a heretic at heart. This means that Cousin Richard is alive and well, and ready to take down Father. Perhaps he will overthrow father, and defeat the holy crusaders from the inside. This is all leading to an epic conclusion within the Bread Boys Cinematic Universe - I believe the final tale to be told will be Son's betrayal of Father, revealing himself to be the heretic who protected Cousin Richard. Father, being the hero he is, will need to convince Son to return from his evil ways, and become a holy crusader once more. Truly genius, Bread Boys. Genius.
