Chapter 321: King Yama, Lord of the Gods
"Just sit down, don't be so nervous. Although Hades didn't feel tired, he sat down at the computer desk of the king pigeon, just to make the king feel more comfortable.
Wang Ge felt a little strange, obviously it was his own home, his own room, this Lord Hades really didn't see anything outside, he didn't regard himself as a guest at all, and made Wang Ge look like a visitor.
However, the nervousness and apprehension in the heart of the king pigeon is real. Although I had been mentally prepared before and had known the news for a long time, it was inevitable that there would be waves in my heart when it came to this day.
Lord Hades was still holding an umbrella and facing the king pigeon. The king pigeon sat on the bed with his buttocks, and then carefully looked at the "little girl" in front of him.
She must not be as simple as a normal little girl.
The black Tang costume is embroidered with complex patterns, showing white, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and there are some strange inscriptions, which the king pigeon naturally can't understand. Hades carried the umbrella on his shoulder, still open.
This umbrella is different from the ordinary umbrella of the Grim Reaper, the umbrella surface is pure black, but the umbrella bone is golden, and at both ends of the umbrella surface, symmetrically written with "avoidance" and "quiet" four traditional characters. And the inside of the long-handled umbrella, there is a winning bid, the word is also white, flashing with streamers, but also written the year and month, but are all indicated in the lunar calendar, after the king's careful observation, the second hand of the clock is still beating constantly, it seems to be consistent with the current time, but the number pointed by the hand is not the La Arbord numeral or Roman numeral, it is written twelve hours.
"You must have a lot of questions right now. Hades said.
Wang Ge nodded, "Then you definitely didn't come to kill me, because you have to answer my question." ”
Hades laughed, his voice crisp and hearty, not at all like the Lord of Death. "There are so many people in the world who can see another world, and naturally I can't kill them all. It's just that some of them disobey the mandate of heaven and leak the secret of heaven......" she shook her head, "That's no way, this world is regular, and you can't go against the grain." ”
"I don't know where to start. Wang Ge pouted, since the other party is not here to kill himself, then everything is easy to say.
"Let's start with the question just now. A long time ago, I had met a man who could see death and the soul, and that person could even see me, but not for who I really was. In his opinion, I am an official of Hades wearing an official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, and holding a judge's pen in his hand. It's just like your Hades in "Journey to the West!" Hades always had a smile on his face, this smile was not happy, it was not a fake smile, and it gave people a different feeling from some professional smiles.
The king pigeon suddenly remembered a painting, "The Smile of the Mona Lisa". It's just that the smile on Hades' face is more mysterious and unpredictable than that smile.
"Then, according to Xuzi's perspective on you, you should at least be taller than her in her eyes. As for gender...... I guess it's a man. Xuzi has always had a sense of reverence for you, and I hope you don't hurt her. I begged her for this matter, and it is certainly wrong for her to be soft-hearted as a god of death, but I am willing to take full responsibility. "Wang Ge knows that the fate of a god of death is that the god form will be destroyed, and the energy body will directly turn into the nourishment of the blood-colored reed, penetrating into the pure white soil of the underworld, and will never be able to be reborn.
"We'll talk about that later. "Lord Hades did not directly agree to the king pigeon, nor did he refuse, but hid, this decision is beyond doubt. She blinked her big eyes and flickered at Wang Ge, if Wang Ge didn't know that the person in front of her was Hades, she would definitely think that she was a very cute little girl, and anyone who saw it wanted to pinch the flesh on her little face. "In Xuzi's eyes, I should be a handsome guy in a suit and leather shoes, and my voice sounds the same. Although the feelings of the Grim Reaper have long been worn out, there are still thoughts, but in their eyes, I will always be a different image. ”
Wang Ge nodded in understanding.
Lord Hades, there are a thousand faces in front of a thousand people. In front of 10,000 people, there are 10,000 faces. When everyone saw the Lord Hades in front of them, they were all different in height, appearance, posture, and characteristics, and even the voices they heard were different. In other words, the Hades they saw were only the Hades they wanted to see in their hearts, not the Hades themselves.
However, the gods of death forbade each other to communicate with each other, let alone discuss Hades, which is simply an unforgivable sin.
Therefore, even if Hades holds a meeting in front of all the gods of death, everyone can see Hades, and her ever-changing characteristics will not be exposed by anyone, and even, everyone thinks that what Hades sees and hears in the eyes of others is exactly the same.
Wang Ge frowned and thought for a moment, "But...... The Lord of Hades in my mind is not a little Lori. ”
Lord Hades had long been pampered, but when he heard the word little Lori, his brows still wrinkled. "Have you ever seen Lori who has lived for more than 5,000 years?" she couldn't help but choke back, knowing that she didn't need to deal with a human at all, and she was right. "That's why you're different from them. ”
The king pigeon was a little puzzled, "What's the difference?"
"You can see the real me. Hades reached out and touched his face. "It's been more than 5,000 years, and it hasn't changed at all. ”
Wang Ge was stunned, since he saw this little Lori, he felt that this was definitely not the true face of Lord Hades, but he didn't expect that this was exactly what Lord Hades really looked like who led thousands of deaths!
If there is a Creator in the dark who arranges all this, then the image of Lord Hades is definitely a big joke. It's too bad fun, isn't it! It's too child's play! The king pigeon is a little helpless, and some things are really unthinkable of the head.
The Grim Reaper is a cute girl.
Hades-sama is a Lori.
Fortunately, fortunately, this world is strange enough to make the king pigeon not strange, and the ability to accept it is still relatively strong.
"There are still a lot of people with special abilities like you in the whole world, after all, there are seven billion people, and the population is expanding rapidly. But a large part of the people were treated as fools, crazy, and sent to mental hospitals, and in the end they themselves felt sick. A small number of people saw it as if they didn't see it, suppressed their own situation, sought medical advice, and did not dare to tell others. Another small group of people, using their own abilities, do some ...... Things that can't be done in the underworld. They usually end badly. You're a special case. As far as I know, there is a special case around you. Hades said, "I'm still thinking about how to deal with special cases like yours. ”
Five thousand years is an extremely long time for an ordinary person, but Lord Hades has already experienced everything.
Civilization, technology, development, calamity, plague, war, intrigue. She has truly experienced everything that is human. So it's very open to these things.
"Do you think I want to have this ability?" Wang Ge stood up, very emotional, "I and that child have this ability!" That child, of course, refers to Wang Jiaxin. "Our abilities are not innate, they arise under certain circumstances. You can't just because of that that mean we have a problem and shouldn't exist in this world. ”
"I'm not saying you shouldn't exist in this world. Hades said. "Some of the things that awaken the ability are innate, and some of them are suddenly awakened after witnessing the death of their loved ones, and I don't know the specific principle, but there are fewer cases in the latter. And there has never been such a thing as a gambling pact between the Grim Reaper and the Mighty. ”
"Then why is there such a thing as a gambling rope? Why is there such a thing as a soul suppression card?" Wang Ge tugged at the black rope around his neck, as well as the soul suppression card engraved with patterns and words, and it is not clear what material it is made of.
"I gave it. Hades said lightly.
"What?" the king pigeon was stunned. The reason why the gambling contract he made with Xuzi was established was actually instructed by Lord Hades.
She knows everything!
Then why doesn't Xuzi know?
Lord Hades had already guessed the idea of the king pigeon. "I instructed her to secretly build the Soul Suppression card, and instructed her to take the gambling rope from me. But afterwards, I erased some of her memories. Hades thought for a moment and changed her wording, "Or rather, I changed her memory. She will think that the Gambling Rope and the Soul Suppression Card were stolen by herself, and will seek out a human like you to make a bet at the cost of her life. Like the Grim Reaper, I can't predict the future, and this kind of thing can only be done randomly in the process of extracting souls. ”
"Reason. The king pigeon asked.
"Looking for an heir. Hades looked at the king pigeon, "Looking for someone to inherit the position of Lord of the Gods." ”
"Then why did you find Xuzi, and why did you find me?" asked Wang Ge again.
"I've instructed many randomly selected Grim Reapers, and Void Purple is just one of them. But the other Grim Reapers, who have not encountered special abilities, or are restricted by the rules of Death's behavior, have not communicated with humans, and the latter is a person with special abilities who is not strong enough in his heart to accept the bet, so you are the only one who has a bet. ”
"Who decides?"
"I don't know. This is God's law. ”
"Ridiculous!" said the pigeon, which he thought was ridiculous. "Isn't it child's play to find a random god of death to randomly find ordinary humans and inherit the position of holding the power of life and death?"
"My time is coming, and in about eighty years, my time is coming, and I must find an heir according to God's law, and there is no other way. At first, I also thought it was a bit inappropriate to look for an heir in this way, and I could even find a reliable Grim Reaper to inherit, but this is the law of God. I have to comply. There is no other way. Hades smiled and said, "It's just that the longer I look for it, the more I feel that God's law has its truth." The Grim Reaper's style of work is not suited to such a heavy task. The long-term work of the Grim Reaper has made them lose their emotions, forget the precious experience of being born as a human being, and the precious experience of living in the world, and the degree of indifference to life is unimaginable, and I have to admit that this is a mistake in my management. ”
"Then humans are suitable?" asked Wang Ge rhetorically, "Even a person like me, who can see the god of death and souls, knows nothing about the underworld, let alone ordinary people. Let me be the king of Yama, the son of Raush, that is impossible. The king pigeon shook his head repeatedly. "God's law, God's law. Everything is unclear and unclear. I'm willing to bet that even the date of death in your life and death book is not filled in by you, you are just a general executor. You don't know where those numbers came from!"
Hades was silent, then nodded, but did not speak.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and they didn't speak, the sound of insects chirping outside the window was clearly audible, and the whole room was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"How...... It feels like I'm begging you. Hades said, then waved his hand, "Well, don't mention this yet." You can't accept it for a while. The date of death in the book of life and death was generated by this umbrella. She said as she looked at the umbrella in her hand. "There is nothing written in the book of life and death except the date and time of death. Everyone has no destiny and will not be prescribed to live. If a person dies at the age of eighty-five, whether he was a beggar or a rich man at the time, he will die at the age of eighty-five. But you know the laws of human society. The risk of accidental death for a wealthy person is always much lower than that of a beggar. Of course, accidents are not recorded in the book of life and death. ”
"I don't want to know these social laws, that's none of my business. Let's talk about a bet. That's what I'm most concerned about right now, and since you don't want to kill me, I want to continue this bet. Hopefully, you'll be able to admit the bet. All the rules are the same, don't hurt Xuzi, she just carried out your mission. ”
"Absolutely. Xuzi will not receive any harm, after her death work is completed, the next life after the reincarnation of her soul will definitely be smooth, without the slightest hardship and danger, and she will have a happy life. Lord Hades actually agreed very happily, and seemed very happy, "After this bet is completed, you will have a deeper understanding of life, and even ...... It is possible that he wants to inherit the position of Lord Hades. ”
However, Hades still has a word to say. That is, whether the king pigeon's bet succeeds or fails, it will deepen his understanding of life.
"But I'm going to take back one of your abilities, the deception function of the Soul Calming Card. This function was developed by Xuzi herself, using the life breath you have accumulated to attach to the patient's body and deceive other Grim Reapers, in principle, this is a blasphemy against the soul, so I will not make any compensation to you while retracting this ability. ”
The king pigeon had no choice but to agree. I haven't used this ability a few times, and I took it back, mainly because I was reluctant to use the number on it, or I didn't encounter the opportunity to use this ability.
"However, I can give you some answers that Void Purple can't provide to you. As I said before, you have a lot of questions. Now let's get started. Lord Hades put away the umbrella, put it in front of the computer desk, and rode upside down on the computer chair, holding the back of the chair with both hands, lying on his stomach with his chin on his hands, and looking at the king pigeon playfully.
