A gloomy world, gloomy woods, and quirky cabins in the woods.

On the whole, the world beneath your feet looks eerie. These alone can basically scare off ordinary people, but Charles is quite calm about it.

However, when he realized that he couldn't see the specific information of the old man in black in front of him, he couldn't keep himself calm anymore.

The True Eye has failed?

What is he?

Secretly suspicious, Charles cautiously spoke, "May I ask where this is?" ”

"A cage." The other party replied, then looked down at a note in his hand and shook his head slightly.

"The words are still so ugly."

Charles was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached into his trouser pocket, only to find that the God's note in his pocket had disappeared unconsciously!

When?

Just when he was suspicious, the other party "politely" handed the note back to him, and at the same time looked at him with strange eyes: "God sent you?" ”

"Nope." Charles didn't know what the relationship was between this and that god, so he replied cautiously, "With a spell, something went wrong." ”

"Magic Array? Human wizards have always found all sorts of weird loopholes. The old man said, not asking much, but stretched out his hand to the living room.

"Please come in."

Charles nodded in acknowledgement, and then sat down on the sofa at the invitation of the old man.

Glancing around, there was an old TV, a radio, standing on a TV stand, and a hardboard bed not far away.

Under the butt was a clean black single sofa, and on the opposite side was another one, with a coffee table in the middle and a kettle in the middle of the silver platter.

Cramped houses, ordinary furnishings, at a cursory glance, nothing to care about.

However, if you look closely, you will see that there is no kitchen at all. But I remember correctly, when I first came in, the old man in front of me was eating chicken rolls.

"Where's the chicken wrap?" The thought crossed Charles' mind.

In the other party's hands, on the table in front of him, and wherever he could see it, there was no trace of the food.

As Charles looked around, the old man in black picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water, saying as he poured it.

"It's weird, you smell of the sun, but remember correctly, the last time I saw the sun was ...... The time here is confusing, and I can't remember it very clearly. ”

Charles didn't want to explain one of his talents, and after taking the cup of tea that looked like instant tea handed to him by the old man, he thanked him, then thought about it, and asked out loud.

"Where is this?"

He vaguely guessed the identity of this person, but he was not sure.

"A cage." The old man glanced at him, as if to reproach him for asking such repetitive questions: "The cage that God made." ”

"So, you're ......"

"You just spent time with a lot of little guys? I smelled them. They are under my control. ”

Charles said secretly.

The person in front of him is the Death Knight, one of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or the Death Spokesman of this world.

The head of the Grim Reaper, the existence responsible for the destruction of the world.

Why did you get here?

Is it because it is also due to death? So the sacrificial ritual points to this place?

The hand holding the teacup unconsciously turned in circles, and Charles asked again, "So, how do I get out?" ”

"Get out?" The old man wondered, "The last time I went out, the earth was surrounded by floods. ”

What he meant was obvious.

"Can't get out?" Charles's heart sank when he heard this.

"Normally, yes."

The old man said, taking a sip of tea: "But you are lucky." A lot of the little ones up there are always trying to toss some new tricks, and maybe I'll be pulled up before long. As he spoke, he glanced at Charles, "You can come with me." ”

This person is probably talking about the apocalypse that Heaven and Hell hope to appear. Disasters befall the earth, bringing catastrophes and the like.

Charles didn't say anything.

He suddenly thought that he actually had other choices, and the person in front of him couldn't get out, just because he couldn't do it.

The shuttle door has been in the process of being promoted, and it can't be used for the time being, but when it recovers its function, won't it be able to leave here?

"Is it just that the time for the apocalypse to come is faster, or is the time for the shuttle door to recover faster?" He was a little unsure.

So there was no word for a moment.

Charles had no idea that he would come here to meet the true "Grim Reaper" of the evil forces in front of him. So much so that when I suddenly met, I really didn't know what to say except for who you are, where you are, and how I should get out of this basic question.

He could have said something like a long-admired daimyo, but Charles was really unfamiliar with what the person in front of him had done.

And out of the view of the mysterious Death Knight in front of him, who can't see the specific "information", Charles thinks it's better to have a cautious attitude of talking less, who knows what his specific personality is.

He didn't speak, but the old man on the other side was quite interested in him, and after taking a sip of tea, he asked, "Tell me about you, normal wizards don't mix with those little guys." ”

"Me?"

Charles thought for a moment and began to tell some of the things that had happened before he fell in.

He didn't have to lie, but he didn't need to say much about himself.

In short, Charles only says that he is a hunter with strange abilities, who was invited by death to help, and accidentally came to this place in the process of killing demons.

In this regard, the person in front of him did not make any comments, but began to drink tea silently.

He may have been pondering death, but his face had always been calm and calm, and it was hard to discern any emotion in it.

But silence is a testament to an attitude.

So the surroundings fell silent. Boredom, Charf began to look around again.

Actually, it's such a big place, and there are only three or four things, so there's basically nothing to notice. But the appliances are weird.

"Can there be a TV signal here?"

He wondered to himself, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught the window of the wooden house and something was constantly beating.

Gaze intently. A hand stained with black mud came into view.

The hand kept touching the window, bringing dirty marks, faintly, you could see the top of the owner's head that was also covered with mud, but it was not clear whether it was because of the height or posture, but from the inside of the house, I could only see the top of a head and two "branches".

[The Tree of Resentment, a special species born from the gathering of living beings' grievances against death]

[It is hostile to life]

[It is full of resentment against death]

……

"Resentment?"

Charles was thoughtful.

But at this moment, the old man who had finished drinking a cup of tea raised his head, but he did not mention what he had heard before, but took out a small object and put it on the table.

"This thing is yours?"

Charles looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned.

Roughly speaking, what was placed on the wooden table was just a "pocket" little man, motionless, like the kind of plastic soldier he played with as a child.

But the difference is that this "toy" is much more real. What's even more surprising is that the villain in front of him looks exactly like the yellow-eyed demon!

Gray coat, middle-aged appearance, pale yellow eyes.

【Prince of Hell Azazler, Specially Sealed by the Power of Death】

[This is your gift to death]

……

Charles was stunned by the hint of the True Eye, and the words of the old man on the other side made him even more stunned.

"Three hours ago? Or five hours? This thing suddenly fell on my head. I don't know what it is, but I was able to instill death in it, and even transform it. ”

The old man said, looking at the "little man soldier" on the table with interest, as if this thing was really some kind of interesting toy.

Then he looked up at Charles.

"Maybe I can give you a gift soon. I seem to have a responsibility to give you strength in feedback, strange...... You were sacrificing to me before? ”
