Chapter 55: The Extradition of Persons on the Lethe River
Standing in front of Jiu Li's eyes is a grand, tall and ancient door, the door is carved with all kinds of hideous and terrifying patterns, and on the dark and gloomy lintel is written the following text:
From me into the city of sorrow,
From me into the torment of eternal calamity,
It is up to me to enter the crowd from which there will be no return. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Justice pushes the exalted Creator,
Divine power, supreme wisdom, primordial love
Created me. Before me there was no creation,
In addition to being permanent,
And I will live forever.
Come in, you must leave all hope behind.
Jiu Li knew that this was a warning from the gates of hell, and the only official entrance to hell, and once he stepped through this gate, there was no room for turn. This time, Red will not be able to take them out of the dark forest, as the souls that have crossed the gates of hell have already been recorded.
Jiu Li glanced at Ye Shu and slowly approached the gate of hell.
"Squeak-" The gates of hell opened, and after a burst of bright light, Jiu Li found that they were already standing inside the door.
In front of them, they could vaguely hear the sound of turbulent water, and the huge waves seemed to be right in front of them, trying to devour them with their teeth and claws, but Jiuli tried to keep his eyes open, and still couldn't see the entity that made this terrifying sound.
The senses of the limbs seemed to be sucked by this endless chaos, Jiuli stood in place and did not dare to act rashly, with a few roars of Xiaohong, Ye Shu waved his sleeves towards the chaos, and the white mist in front of him gradually dissipated, and Jiuli saw that in front of them was a wide river.
That's the Lethe River.
After entering the gates of hell, sinful souls can only experience calamity in hell if they have been washed by the waters of the Lethe River and washed away the memories of their past lives.
On the vast Lechuan River, a page of flat boats could be faintly seen, and the flat boats were swaying towards them. After the boat sailed to the shore, a man in white walked down from the boat, and the man in white leaned down to salute them, and said politely: "The divine envoy who has come in, please follow me on the boat, once you enter the Lethe River, do not turn back." ”
"There is labor." Ye Shu also said with a smooth face.
Only Jiu Li's hands trembled faintly in his sleeves when he saw the man in white raise his head to face them, and he forgot to speak, just because the face of the man in white was smooth, just like the white mist.
An extradilist without facial features.
Jiuli got on the boat with the night, and the white-clothed extradiditor said again: "Once you enter Lethe, you can't turn back." "The boat sailed on the rough Lethe River, and the extradilist stood on the bow with his back to them, and his face was cast on the vast Lethe River.
At the beginning, Jiuli was still nostalgic for the shameless extraditer, but looking at the clear Lethe water on the boat, the two sides of the river are quiet orchid bushes, fresh and green bamboo forests, everything is like a fairyland. Jiuli finally couldn't help but ask: "Why can't you turn back on the Lechuan River?" ”
As soon as he said it, he wanted to shut up, but Jiu Li saw Ye Shu glance at her lightly, and understood that Sister Fairy's eyes were full of not wanting to answer her mentally retarded question. However, the white-clothed extradition man turned around and faced Jiu Li with a face without facial features, and Jiu Li felt that she could feel a pair of empty eyes looking at her on her white face in a trance.
Jiu Li shuddered.
The extradilist retracted his gaze, turned and walked into the boat, and when he came out again, he had an extra bronze mirror in his hand. The extradilist handed the bronze mirror to Jiu Li and motioned for her to look behind her through the bronze mirror.
Jiu Li hesitated to take the bronze mirror, straightened the bronze mirror, and saw the bloody scene behind the mirror.
The flat boat sailed by, the clear and clear Lechuan River instantly turned blood yellow, the black sand in it was raging, the ghosts roared, the insects and snakes were everywhere, the Lethe River in front of the boat and the Lethe River behind the boat were like two polar opposites. Jiuli was so frightened that he almost threw the bronze mirror away, and he didn't dare to look at the bronze mirror again, and Jiuli returned the bronze mirror to the extraditer.
The extradition person's breath moved slightly, "If you turn back, you will become them." ”
The boat soon sailed to the opposite shore, and the extradidilist pulled the boat to the shore, pointed to a wide bridge in front of him, and said: "Cross the Nai Ho bridge, and then pass through the sinful forest, and you will reach hell." ”
Jiu Li turned his head to look at the bridge, which looked like a closed avenue, with black walls faintly visible on both sides of the bridge, and a rushing black liquid underneath. Jiu Li instantly remembered that day she fell from the void, that is, she fell onto a section of avenue, and the black walls on both sides kept sticking out of the white limbs. Is it the bridge in front of you?
"Tested in hell, you will be revealed." After the extradilist said this, he prepared to board the ship.
Jiu Li hurriedly asked, "Is it the revelation given by the ghost?" Is it about the Blood Curse?! ”
But the extraditionist did not answer her, but rocked the boat and gradually moved away. The clear waters of the Lechuan River sparkled and Jiu Li noticed that the bronze mirror on the bow of the boat formed a reflection in the river, swaying with the river.
The antique bronze mirror and diamond-shaped pattern are familiar......
Jiuli remembered that when she fell into the void with the Demon Lord Sai Yuan, she had also seen an identical bronze rhombic mirror in the ruined ancient castle, and a woman's voice came from it at that time.
"Wait!" Jiuli hurriedly shouted at the extradition man.
But the white-clothed extraditer had disappeared into the vast waters of the Lethe River.
"Let's go," Ye Shu pulled her toward the bridge, "everything is fixed. ”
Jiuli stood on the bridge and looked forward, the black walls stretched to the invisible end, and as soon as they stepped on the bridge, the black walls on both sides began to slowly squirm, as if they had come to life. Jiu Li knew that something would stick out of the wall next, and hurriedly pulled Ye Shu forward.
Sure enough, as soon as he ran, the breath of the living became even stronger, and the black wall began to stretch out the severed limbs and arms of Bai Huahua, struggling to break through the constraints of the wall and rush towards Jiu Li. Just like last time, although the severed limb longs for the blood of the living, it will still be afraid of Jiuli and Ye Shu, and dare not really get close.
Maybe because they were gods, Jiu Li thought, if they were mortals, they would be caught in the wall with severed limbs.
The severed limb hesitated to grab Xiaohong and Yunban, who were walking behind, but Xiaohong roared, and was shocked a few times, only to come down, and was instantly sucked in by the black wall.
Don't dare to hesitate any longer, Jiuli and his party walked on the bridge quickly, did not encounter the two ghosts last time, all the way through the severed limb wall, yellow spring water, and finally safely crossed the Naihe Bridge and came to the dark forest.
In front of him was a familiar dense forest, just like Jiu Li had heard countless times in his dreams, and the ghost-like voice slowly came from the depths of the forest, like an ancient and mysterious metaphor:
"Welcome to Hell."
