Chapter 33 Rules
"What does that mean?" Mo's face sank.
Komachi waved his hand, "It's literal, if you don't have anything else to do, please go back!" ”
"Are you going to sit back and watch as thousands of living beings die?"
"Hehe, it's not fate......", Komachi lowered his head and whispered, then raised his head again and looked at Mo:
"Then can you tell us what Destiny is?"
Mo frowned and didn't answer the question right away.
And Komachi didn't intend to wait for Mo's answer, and continued: "Is it the destiny of human beings, or living beings, that only the end of life is right?" That's not right! ”
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human beings, or all living beings, have never been a few who have died of 'unfatalities'......"
"Sickness, starvation, exhaustion, natural disasters, accidents, monsters eating people, humans crusading against monsters, living beings killing each other, such things happen all the time in this world."
Speaking of this, the corners of Komachi's mouth hung slightly, and he smiled slightly mockingly, "If these are all fates, it would be too ridiculous!" ”
Mo didn't refute it out loud, but it was better to say that it was in line with his thoughts, and there was nothing to refute, because this was just a 'fact' and a natural thing.
"Well, if you want to talk about it, aren't humans just a race that keeps repeating things like this......"
Komachi walked in the sea of flowers, picked it with her hand, and a piece of bright red petals on the other side leaped up, and finally one of the most vivid flowers was held by her with one hand, and she took it to her eyes, and looked at it carefully:
"Every 100 years, there will be a man-made 'death' ...... on this land"
"They tear each other's throats, stab their hearts, cut their bodies, and use tools made by their own hands to plunder each other's lives, and that kind of 'non-life' is more than a million ......"
The right hand holding the flower suddenly exerted force, and the four broken petals fluttered and scattered, falling to the ground, and growing flowers on the other side, bright red and gorgeous, secluded......
Komachi turned his head sideways and looked at Mo: "Speaking of which, didn't it happen some time ago, the war between humans and demons ......?"
"At that time, the thousands of lives that were lost, in your eyes, were they also unexpectedly killed?"
Komachi smiled, "No, it's not like that." Although you did 'save' the world in the end, before that, you had just sat back and watched the 'meat grinder' of that battlefield stay in the world for half a year, ignoring the deaths of tens of millions of people......"
"Well, although it seems that they are also to blame, at least it also shows that you regard that kind of 'killing' and that kind of 'death' are just 'destiny like this'?"
"But now, you have changed your statement and concept?"
"That's really, it's a little weird......"
And standing on the stone for a long time, the figure slowly spoke: "It seems that you are always concerned about the affairs of the world......
"I thought you would spend most of your time living in seclusion, and you would only be responsible for managing the Netherlands."
And Komachi, who was standing in the sea of flowers, waved his hand, "Well, after all, so many ghosts poured into it in such a short time, it's hard not to attract attention......
"No, ......," Mo said in a deep voice.
"Isn't that right?" , Komachi turned his head in confusion.
Mo raised his right hand, "Ah, of course not. I am the one who personally fought the Heavenly Demon Lord and slew it. Its essence, its power, I can say know better than the vast majority of people in this world......"
"You said that there was a large influx of ghosts into the underworld at that time, so it caught your attention?"
"No, no...... It should be the opposite. It was the absence of ghosts entering the underworld that attracted your attention and even surprise......"
"Why are there not a large number of ghosts being led to the Netherworld, this 'abnormal' phenomenon is what really attracts your attention......
"As for why this is happening, it's very simple, whether it is a 'demon' who died at the hands of humans, or a 'human' who died at the hands of demons, in that deliberate 'war', in fact, it is just one of the nutrients of the 'Heavenly Demon Lord'......"
"Why aren't there ghosts? Absolutely! Because the flesh and blood, souls, and everything of those who died or demons would be devoured and absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Lord, naturally they would not appear in the Netherworld......"
Speaking of which, Mo shook his head, "And, if my guess is correct." At that time, if I hadn't made a move, your Netherworld would have been planning to make a move. It will be the same as when you went to defeat the basilige......"
"It's just because they all break the 'rules' of this world!"
Standing in the middle of the sea of flowers with a huge scythe, Komachi stared at Mo, and for a long time, he let out a long sigh.
Right in the bull's-eye, everything is as the man says it is. Just as the mortal world has its own set of rules, the Netherworld also has its own set of 'rules'.
Although it is different from many truths in the mortal world, it is even incomprehensible and incredible in the eyes of ordinary people in many places. But it is still undeniable that 'order' and 'rules' still exist.
"So, even if that's true, so what?" Komachi sighed, raised his head, looked at Mo, and waited for the man's next words.
"Ah, it seems that as I suspected, you Netherworld have your own set of 'rules'."
Mo looked up slowly, though these were just his guesses combining various records and intelligence...... But this kind of speculation is probably the 'truth' that is closest to the truth......
"Naturally, you don't care about the normal cycle of life and death in the world. Because in your eyes, it is nothing more than a normal 'destiny......"
"Whether it is birth, old age, sickness and death, or the war in the world, or even the mutual fighting between monsters and people, in your eyes, it is just the normal development of cause and effect in the world, and a part of the cycle of life and death......"
"Your order, or your 'rules,' is only for the netherworld. After the death of the living, it is your administration......"
"Therefore, your deeds are often not present in the world, and it is difficult to find a clear record of them, just because you will hardly interfere in the events before death, that is, in the affairs of the yang world......"
Speaking of this, Ink paused,
"But whether it is the snake demon or the 'heavenly demon', you have chosen to intervene, or are ready to intervene......"
"Why is that?"
"Just because they have violated some of your 'taboos'......"
…… To be continued......
