Chapter 1: Death is not life

Next Chapter

Luo Yi is an ordinary person, he has no complaints about his ordinary and short life, but he hopes that the next life can be a little different. But this wish seems to be difficult to achieve, and now he is surrounded by a barren land, so that he can't say anything.

The earth is endless, the sky is dark red, the ground looks like sand, and there seem to be some ruins around it, but it is very weathered, and you can't see what the past was like here, and the air around it is scorching.

Gusts of wind swept through the sand, there was no fixed direction, dancing wildly in the sky, and pounced on him from time to time, he thought that he shouldn't feel anything after death, but Luo Yi still felt bursts of heat, which made his mouth dry.

"How could this be?" It was hard for Luo Yi to imagine where people went after death and what they would encounter, but the current scene made him a little disappointed, and at the same time even more hesitant.

"Anyone?" Luo Yi suddenly shouted loudly, it was too quiet here, only the sound of the wind, the wind was too loud, it might cover up all other sounds.

Anxiety began to permeate, Luo Yi finally stopped waiting, but began to move forward, although he is an otaku and is used to being alone, but when he is alive, he is accompanied by a computer, and he does not feel lonely.

Originally, he thought that he was not afraid of loneliness, but now it seems that this is not the case, loneliness makes him a little afraid, but he can only move forward, because everything here is unfamiliar, maybe he is afraid of strangeness.

Moving forward like this, the footprints left behind him were covered with sand in an instant, I don't know how long I walked, the surrounding environment did not change in the slightest, and it was still the same, in fact, he couldn't tell the difference. And the footprints behind him have long since disappeared, he doesn't know how far he has walked, he is too thirsty.

The heat made him crave a glass of water, but in this case, he was able to move forward instead of symptoms such as heat stroke, "Is it because I died?" So I'm not going to fall? Luo Yi thought strangely, but he couldn't confirm anything, and he didn't want to stop now, he was afraid that he would lose the courage to move forward.

Reluctantly moving on, there was no road, no signs, he could only rely on his instincts, and he even began to wonder if he was really moving forward, but he couldn't stop.

He didn't lose the slightest sane, he kept moving forward in a state of full consciousness, he really wished he could faint, but no, he was still conscious. You can feel the heat and thirst, but there is no feeling of dizziness and exhaustion, it is too weird and too painful.

"Do you feel the fear?" A loud voice came from all directions, which startled Luo Yi, and then he was a little surprised, he hurriedly looked around, but everything around him was still like that, and he couldn't see half a shadow at all.

"Who?" Luo Yi hurriedly asked, although he was thirsty, his voice was not hoarse in the slightest, everything seemed to be so false.

"Haha, I'm Satan, the Lord of Hell, and you should be familiar with my name." The voice came again.

Luo Yi's face was frightened, he couldn't have imagined that the other party actually said that he was Satan, but why did he meet Satan after he died? As a Chinese, he should meet a bull head, a horse face, a judge, and a king of Hades, how can it be Satan?

"Confused? That's right, it's normal to be confused, but you have to accept the facts, and it's not easy for me to get you, so your soul belongs to me. Satan's words once again made Luo Yi hit a spirit, and his body ...... No, it was his soul trembling.

"No, it shouldn't be like this, I'm a Chinese." This is the only question Luo Yi can argue about, otherwise what can he say?

"Hehe...... Satan Monster laughed, "this is not something you can decide as a mortal, the only thing you can do is obedience, your soul is mine, this fact you are powerless to change, and no one will fight against the great Satan for the sake of your small soul, it is not worth it." ”

Despair, Luo Yi's feeling now is despair, indeed, who would fight against the Lord of Hell for such a weak soul as him? Is there anything he can do but despair? He didn't feel this kind of despair in a society governed by the rule of law, although he was very ordinary in his life, but the law protected everything, although there was darkness, but those darkness did not invade him, and he did not feel it.

And now when he felt the time, there was only despair.

"Hopeless? No, the great Satan is not unreasonable, many of those legends are misunderstandings of me, and you still have hope. Satan's voice was full of temptation, and Luo Yi's eyes lit up, and light appeared again.

"What hope?" Luo Yi asked, his voice full of longing.

"I'll send you to a world you're familiar with, and your task is to collect something, and once you complete the task, your soul will be free, isn't it simple?"

"It's really easy." Luo Yi's expression turned into surprise, collect some things, and then exchange them back for a free soul, he can try.

"And will you sign a contract with me?" Satan's voice sounded again, and Luo Yi was about to open his mouth after listening to it, but then he closed it again.

Luo Yi is ordinary, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, and the contract in Satan's mouth suddenly made him sober up, the demon's contract? No matter what kind of works he had in his lifetime, movies, television, novels, and comics, he had read countless things, and the common thing was that signing a contract with a demon did not end well.

If Satan had changed his words, maybe Luo Yi would have agreed, but the word contract made Luo Yi sober, and he recalled that it should have been a trap from the beginning. Walking alone in the desert, I don't know the time, I don't know the place, only endless suffering, and after Satan appeared, I wanted to get close inexplicably, but the other party didn't show up.

Then it was an affirmation of his own weakness, a powerlessness to resist the strong, and then he saw hope, and he was lured into the trap of the devil step by step, if he was really in the palm of the other party, why did he sign a contract.

After Luo Yi figured it out, he said: "My ordinariness doesn't mean I'm stupid, step by step to lead me into the trap, what is your purpose?" Luo Yi's sudden change also made Satan stunned, he thought that the other party had been tempted, but how could he be sober at the last moment?
