There is an old saying that dedication is a virtue, and contentment leads to happiness. But happiness is short-lived after all.

Just like Ye Dong and Su Mo, they have lived on Lumeng Soul Island for more than four years, and they are very happy and fulfilled every day, and they have made a lot of friends in it, and they talk about what they have experienced all night.

But the five-year period is about to expire, and many of the friends I know have been reincarnated in this life.

It wasn't until today that Ye Dong realized that five years was really short.

Su Mo was lying in Ye Dong's arms, they were basking in the sun on the beach, the two of them no longer had the satisfied expressions of previous years, and there was only sorrow and reluctance on their faces.

"In half a year, I'm going to drink that cup of tea. Su Mo whispered.

Ye Dong didn't speak, just stroked Su Mo's head with his hand. It's too short, it's all too short. Ye Dong decided to go to the Ancient Monarch City today to find the third number and ask about something.

"I don't want to be separated from you, I don't want to forget this memory. After Su Mo finished speaking, his whole body shrank tighter.

"I'll go to the third in a moment and ask about something. Ye Dong kissed Su Mo's forehead.

"Hmm. ”

Seeing that Su Mo was already asleep, Ye Dong cautiously got up and walked towards home. For him, it's home.

Ye Dong walked to the cloakroom to change out of his shirt and lace beach pants and changed into a black suit.

The island they live on is a circular island, but there is a bridge that leads to a city that is no different from the current city, with bustling streets and dazzling high-rise buildings. There is a variety of clothes and merchandise to choose from, as well as a movie theater and Disneyland. These don't need any currency, and there are no employees in them, but there are punishments that appear on the Gujun Bridge.

There are rules for selecting goods, of course, you can't take them unlimitedly, and violators will be punished and sent back to Lumeng Soul Island, and they will not be allowed to come in for two years.

Ye Dong looked in the mirror and tugged on his tie, and then walked out of the house. He glanced towards where Su Mo was sleeping, took a deep breath, and strode towards the gate leading to the Ancient King's City.

I opened the door and stepped into the bluestone paved street, and looked up at the moon hiding behind the big blue clouds.

Ye Dong followed the memory to the tea room of No. 3. As soon as he came to the Ancient Monarch City, all he felt was coldness and sadness, and he felt that the people who lived in the Ancient Monarch City had a kind of indescribable sadness. He didn't know why he felt that way.

The lights in the houses on both sides were already on, and the sound of laughter and conversation was still the same. Following the memory, it should be the tea room of No. 3 in front of him, and I don't know if he is there, Ye Dong thought so in his heart, and his steps unconsciously accelerated.

The sign of the tea room was hung on the wall of the street, and when Ye Dong saw it, he trotted over to face the door, looking at the plaque with the tea room written on the door.

He reached out to knock on the door, but his hand stopped in the air, and he heard the slight conversation of the three inside.

"The two of them bullied many classmates and publicly humiliated many others when they were in school. After going into society, stealing, robbing, gambling, and sexually assaulting women several times have constituted several women committing suicide in humiliation. After your parents died and gave all their possessions back to the society, then you began to do all kinds of bad things to the society in retaliation. ”

The third number spoke in an unhurried tone, and a slight anger could be heard in his words, and he continued, "You have not brutally killed anyone, and you are not qualified to be arrested and sent to the penitent prison. But I really want to get you in. ”

Ye Dong was very curious about the expressions of those two people at the moment, and he leaned against the wall and continued to listen.

"We... What can I do to clear these up... Iniquity. One of them said in a trembling voice.

"Clear?" said Three, sneering.

"You are not even qualified to drink the tea of the underworld, you have to take your memories with you, reincarnate as beasts, and become food for mortals. Enjoy the pain of being slaughtered carefully. The term is two thousand years. Number Three said coldly.

When they heard this, they instantly showed frightened expressions.

"No... No!... Please do it, I know it's wrong! Please give me a chance! Please!" one of them begged for mercy like crazy.

Ye Dong shook his head when he heard these words outside. Karma is well deserved.

The third didn't speak, and the two of them begged for mercy over there. Not for a while. One of them roared as if in annoyance.

There was a brief sound of table collision, and Ye Dong was about to rush in, when he heard the voice of No. 3 as cold as the Nine Hells.

"It's so bold that you're going to do it with me here, do you know why I'm called Three. The third stopped at this point, Ye Dong only heard the scream of the person, chirping, it should have been choked by the throat.

"Because in the underworld, I'm ranked third. ”

Two shadows appeared in the sky, and they were punishments.

The door of the tea room opened, and the person was thrown out, he watched in horror as his body gradually turned from yellow light to red, and the third walked out as if he didn't find Ye Dong by his side, he stared at the person coldly.

"I've changed my mind, you go to the penitent blood prison and reflect on it. Then he stretched out a finger and turned twice in the direction of the punisher.

The squire swooped down with a roar, and the blood-red three-pronged spear in his hand was mercilessly inserted into the man's body, only to see that the man's expression was extremely miserable, and his mouth was wide open, but his voice had been erased. Two acolytes carried him into the sky.

Ye Dong saw the picture of punishing people again, he didn't feel so terrifying, and even felt comfortable, this kind of wicked person should be like this.

"What is Mr. Ye Dong doing here. The third turned his head and looked at him with a smile on his face, just like before.

Ye Dong felt that his smile was a little oozing at this time, but he didn't show it, "Uh... There's something I'd like to ask you. ”

No. 3 seemed to see Ye Dong's inner feelings, and he opened his mouth, "I'm sorry if what happened just now scared you, I'm sorry, I really can't laugh at those people, really... I'm sorry. ”

The third bowed his head slightly, apologizing.

"There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, no need to apologize, but I'm eavesdropping on your conversation outside. Ye Dong scratched his head embarrassedly.

Number Three smiled and said, "Wait for me in a moment, I'll go and send that person away." ”

"Good. ”

About two minutes later, the sound of number three was heard in the room.

"Mr. Ye Dong, please inside. ”

Ye Dong walked into the house. The third was making tea on the side, and he picked up the tea tray and turned around and said please take a seat.

Ye Dong stared at the tea tray and didn't sit down, and the third grinned and said, "Don't worry, it's just Longjing tea." ”

At this time, Ye Dong was still more sensitive to tea, he shrugged his shoulders and sat down, "That's good." ”

No. 3 smiled bitterly, "You may have any misunderstanding about the Stygian Tea, its effect is only to erase memories, and it will not cause any pain." ”

Ye Dong nodded.

"Then what does Mr. Ye Dong want to ask me? ”

Ye Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it is also related to the Stygian Tea. ”

No. 3 stared at Ye Dong's eyes for a while, he could probably guess why, but he still wanted to hear what Ye Dong had to say.

"Su Mo and I were only together in the underworld, and I didn't stay with her because of my personal problems in this world. Ye Dong raised his head and continued, "I only know what happiness is when I live with her here, and I even feel that she is my family and my wife." But there is only half a year left on this happy day. ”

The third listened to him silently.

"I'm here to ask you what would happen if we refused to drink that cup of tea. ”

No. 3 nodded slightly, he understood Ye Dong's feelings, but rules are rules. "If you refuse to drink the tea, the underworld will naturally have the means to control your body."

Ye Dong remembered the scene of walking on the Gujun Bridge when he first came to the underworld, when everyone's bodies were controlled.

Number Three sighed, "I'm sorry about this. ”

"What about getting out of here. Ye Dong, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly.

"What?" said Three, who didn't react.

Seeing Ye Dong's deep eyes staring at him, the third couldn't help but shudder, and he was surprised to find that this look was very similar to a person.

"Mr. Ye Dong, please don't do this, it will make me very embarrassed, and no matter where you flee, I can find you in an instant with the ability to attract people. ”

Ye Dong smiled bitterly and stood up, "Also, so bothered, I'll go back first." ”

No. 3 looked at Ye Dong's departing back, and what Ye Dong had just said sounded in his ears.

Escape from here, Number Three looked up at the starry night sky,———— I didn't think about it.

Ye Dong walked alone on the bluestone paved road, his hands in his pockets and his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know how long he had walked, he suddenly stopped and looked at the Gujun Bridge in front of him, only to know that he had gone the other way.

"There should have been a wall of light here. Ye Dong walked onto the Gujun Bridge, which was full of the souls of the dead before, and was controlled by someone to enter the Gujun City.

Ye Dong stepped aside, put his hands on the stone railing and looked down. It was pitch black and bottomless, but there was a stone cave on the cliff wall, and iron chains hung down above the stone cave, and the blood-red light in it emitted from time to time. It was mixed with all kinds of hoarse roars.

This is the penitent of blood. I've heard the third number say before that the penitent blood prison is under the Gujun Bridge.

Overhead is the beautiful night sky, but below is a crimson hell. Ye Dong closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something. At this moment, he felt helpless and hopeless. is about to be separated from his beloved, and it will be separated forever, the memory will be erased forever, and the good and happy times of these years will always be forgotten.

There's no way around it.

A young voice sounded beside Ye Dong.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Dong opened his eyes and looked to the side, a boy was beside him at some point, looking at Ye Dong curiously with yellow pupils.

These eyes seem to have been seen somewhere.

After thinking for a moment and still not remembering, Ye Dong squatted down and asked, "Little friend, have we met?" ”

"Of course, I remember you. ”

"What's your name? ”

"My name is Qin Tian. ”

Ye Dong completely remembered at this time, he sat down and leaned against the stone railing, "I remember, if I'm not mistaken, last time you said that you were a Tianyan person, right?" ”

Qin Tian nodded, "Yes, Tianxuan people." ”

"Can you tell me what kind of place Tianyao is? Ye Dong learned from friends he knew from Lumeng Soul Island that some people came from another plane, and these planes were created by the Creator.

Qin Tian walked to the stone fence and sat down next to Ye Dong and crossed his legs, pouting and thinking, "Hmm... The night in the Heavenly Continent is much more beautiful than here, the place where I live is surrounded by plants and docile monsters, there is my favorite cherry blossom tree at the gate, and there is a very, very large snow-capped mountain behind it, I will be woken up every morning by the sound of various monsters, and I will start playing with them when I wake up sweetly. Well... All in all, it's a much more beautiful place than here. ”

Ye Dong tilted his head and smiled bitterly, "What is a monster?"

"Haven't you read the history of monsters? some of them can fly, some can breathe in water, some monsters are very cute, some are very scary and eat people."

"It's the first time I've heard of the history of monsters. But the reason you're describing is an animal. ”

"Animals, no, no, they call them monsters, because some of them breathe fire, some of them discharge electricity, and all kinds of things are like magic. Qin Tian explained with waving hands.

"Spitfire? I've never seen it before, and I'd like to see it when you say that. Ye Dong's curiosity was aroused, and he continued, "Tianyao is such a beautiful place, you must want to go back." ”

didn't listen to Qin Tian's words to answer him, he saw Qin Tian drawing something on the ground with his fingers, and after half a ring, Qin Tian said, "I don't want to go back at all, I don't have anything there." ”

Ye Dong asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"I don't have parents, I don't have a good body, and I don't have a war pattern, why don't I have anything. ”

Ye Dong raised his hand and touched his head, "I don't have parents either." But I survived on my own. What does it mean to not have a good body, are you sick with anything?"

"I don't know. Qin Tian told Ye Dong about his physical condition in detail.

Qin Tian saw that Ye Dong's expression was becoming more and more solemn, and rubbed his temples without speaking. Qin Tian pursed his lips, "It seems that you don't know either." ”

For a long time, neither of them continued to speak. Ye Dong thought in his mind, the method of exercise is not much different, but why the muscles have not evolved, what is the situation.

"Actually, I'm not dead. In the silent atmosphere, Qin Tian suddenly spoke.

"What?" Ye Dong stared at Qin Tian in surprise.

"I think I can wake up, but I don't want to. Qin Tian's eyes were full of tears, and as long as he blinked, he could let the tears remain.

Ye Dong didn't speak, he quietly listened to the statement of a child who was less than ten years old.

"Because I don't want to wake up, and I don't want to stay in Tianxuan, I feel like I'm a person who has been completely forgotten by God. Qin Tian wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, "It's good here, I can use all kinds of battle patterns at will in it, and there are many books about war patterns." ”

Ye Dong smiled and said to him, "Although I don't know what the battle pattern is, as long as it is something you like, then follow your choice." ”

Qin Tian jumped up and took Ye Dong's hand, "Let's go, big brother, I'll take you to see where I live, and let you see what the battle pattern is." ”

"Call me Ye Dong. Ye Dong hesitated for a moment, then stood up and patted his buttocks. It's okay to go to him and see the so-called battle patterns, Ye Dong thought so in his heart and followed Qin Tian.

Under the Gujun Bridge, at the dark entrance to the Blood Hell on the cliff, the blood-red light became more and more intense. In the deepest cell of the Penitential Blood Prison, a man sat on a stool inside, and in the gloomy cell, only the moonlight from the window illuminated half of the man's cheeks, and his naked upper body exposed his sperm-like muscles.

Although he was a prisoner in prison, his hands and feet were not chained. In this gloomy cell, he slowly opened his eyes, a pair of blood-red pupils flashing with bloodthirsty light.
