Volume 1 The Society of the Holy Spirit Chapter 19 The Truth
As the wooden boat slowly approaches, you will be greeted by an ancient castle with a clear European medieval style. Hundreds of skeletal soldiers lined up in groups to patrol around the castle, making the already gloomy-looking castle even more terrifying.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?!" Geng Zhiming's patience had been exhausted.
"Young man, the fire hurts you. If you want to know the truth, just follow him in, and someone in this castle will tell you the truth. The old man shook the oar and smiled at Geng Zhiming.
“...... I believe you one last time. Geng Zhiming put away the gun.
"That's right. Lu Qingliu showed a jade talisman to the skeleton soldiers guarding the door, and the skeleton soldiers made way for everyone with heavy steps.
"Let's go, meet the gatekeeper. Lu Qingliu beckoned.
......
“...... Yo, rare guest, you haven't been to me in a while. ”
On the main seat of the castle, a pair of armor greeted Lu Qingliu.
Yes, it's a pair of armor, and it's empty in the armor, but that's where the sound comes from.
"I don't have time to talk to you today. There are living people who have strayed into the ghost world, and I am busy sending them back, so I hurry to open the door. ”
"Tut-tut, it's really ruthless. I already know about you, the gates of Hades can't be opened casually, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. Let's take a sip of tea first. ”
As soon as the gatekeeper's words fell, several skeletons respectfully served a few bowls of hot tea.
"Hey, didn't you say that someone here explained to me what's going on?" Geng Zhiming looked impatient.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you after the tea. Lu Qingliu smiled.
“...... If you don't take a sip first, I'm not at ease. Geng Zhiming said coldly.
“...... You're really alert, but ......," the gatekeeper laughed, "it's a nuisance to be awake, and even if it's for your own sake, you'd better not remember what happened here." ”
Before Geng Zhiming could react to what he meant, his brain was dizzy and he tilted his head up.
"Ahhhh
The fat man who was left of the two suddenly let out a scream. I saw a raging fire burning around him, so painful that he fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, crying out for help, but no one present helped him. The little boy who was walking with him had already fainted from being frightened alive, and what he saw and heard along the way had broken through the limits of his psychological tolerance.
"Hey, does anyone remember that this is not very good?" the gatekeeper turned his empty helmet towards Minami Chiba.
"Don't worry, he is an insider in this world, and there is nothing to remember in this ghost world. Lu Qingliu smiled faintly.
"Insiders in the world?" the gatekeeper paused, "Actually, I've always been curious...... What is this world like? What is the so-called God...... Did it really exist?"
"It's just a self-proclaimed god. Lu Qingliu snorted lightly, "After all, it is still a masterpiece of a super extraterrestrial civilization, if I remember correctly, isn't the original intention of some things to create this world to copy their path to godhood? ”
"Nine pieces of nine...... What's in it?"
"You can't explain this clearly. Lu Qingliu realized that he had talked a little too much, "Let's send these guys back first." ”
"Wait, I have a question for you. Nan Qianyu interrupted him.
"Well, I'll explain it to you here. Lu Qingliu shook his head, "The timeline of this world has been carried out after Li Jingyi's suicide, as you can see, Li Jingyi's soul is taking revenge on these people who have bullied her, they are all living souls, because after all, in a sense, campus bullying is not dead, but Li Jingyi and Lin Yichen have reached an agreement to let their souls torture in her hands for a year before letting them go." This matter was led by Lin Yichen from beginning to end, and the one in Evan VI was probably just a fake created by Lin Yichen. Lin Yichen was in charge of this matter from beginning to end, as for why he did it...... You'll have to go over and ask him himself. Anyway, I don't think an AI can somehow do so many things that don't seem to make the slightest sense. ”
“...... So, he lied to me? Jingyi is already dead?" Nan Qianyu's eyes were red.
"It depends on what Lin Yichen means. The so-called death verdict is actually just a matter of his words, and I don't think the doctors in the real world should be so stupid as to send a patient with vital signs to be cremated. ”
"Lin Yichen...... I understand. ”
"By the way, I warn you, your strength in the outside world does not represent your strength in this hellish place, you better not provoke that thing, otherwise you won't know how to die. ”
"Don't worry, I still have this self-knowledge. I didn't want to do anything to him, I just wanted to make a deal with him. Nan Qianyu said lightly.
"Then I'm relieved. In that case, it's almost time for us to leave. Lu Qingliu looked at the gatekeeper.
"Please. The gatekeeper pointed to the void, and a door of light slowly appeared.
Lu Qingliu carried Geng Zhiming, Nan Qianyu picked up Ye Fan with a disgusted expression, and the figures of the four quickly disappeared into the light gate.
After everyone left, a red shadow slowly stepped into the castle.
"I'll take him with me. Li Jingyi pointed to the little boy lying on the ground.
"The one-year appointment is coming soon, isn't it?" sighed the gatekeeper, "why are you doing this?"
"When they scratched my face, printed my nude photos and spread them around, and threw me in the men's bathroom urinal, I vowed that one day I would give them back 100 times over. Li Jingyi's voice sounded very empty.
"You should know what happens when you wander around the ghost realm and Caldia so casually. If I'm not mistaken, Venerable Lin didn't promise to help you deal with the rest of the matter, so you won't be afraid ......"
"I know, so what?" Li Jingyi interrupted him.
"And what about that boy, don't you care about him?"
Li Jingyi obviously didn't expect the gatekeeper to mention Nan Qianyu, she was stunned for a while before she said slowly:
What he loves is the clean and pure Li Jingyi. With such a look, I am no longer worthy of him. ”
“...... Forget it, I hope you don't regret it. It's useless for me to keep this person, you can just take it away. ”
"Thank you. Li Jingyi smiled, took the little boy, and left the castle.
