Wood Analysis (Chapter 33)

xxxiii)

No wonder the legend that I never saw God, just because those who saw her had died in her profound illusion, Si Yi and I silently followed behind God, and a tall temple appeared in the distance, and the astrological platform next to it towered in the night. The purple-black sky had dispelled the whiteness just now, and I saw the flowers on the other side and the boundless Nethersea in the distance, and after walking forward and turning a corner, the temple was located next to the Netherworld.

Countless floating skull lamps lit up the temple, and all the skulls looked like sentient beings as we walked, facing me and Si Yi in deep depressions. An eerie sound of a zither danced over the temple, sometimes hurried and sometimes soothing, playing intermittently and incoherently melodic.

The god walked to the shrine in the center of the main hall, the shrine was carved with golden totems, the patterns were complicated, and there were some red droplets floating around the shrine, but they were not as crystal clear as blood. In one corner of the temple was a gorgeously dressed skeleton, the moon-white robe was almost the same as that of the gods, a rare light in this dark temple. I can't tell you how I feel, but I just feel that the person I met was not God, but the devil. I saw that the dry finger bones were flexibly plucking the strings of the zither, and the red droplets of water were beating in the fluttering of the strings, like the bewildered dance steps of the ghost queen.

"Now that we've passed the test, I hope you'll grant us a request. I looked eagerly at God, hoping to know the whereabouts of Tuyin from her mouth at once.

"Why should I promise you? It doesn't seem to do me any good. God tilted his head and nonchalantly curled his hair with his fingers.

"Since you created this world, you should also love the people you created. Si Yi knelt on one knee and bowed his head sincerely.

"For me, the world is just my game, and I can destroy it as much as I want, but it's just a joke. The corners of her mouth turned up, and she looked calm.

"But...", another sentence struck me, and the matter seemed to have taken a turn for the better. The skeleton suddenly stopped plucking the strings, and the entire temple fell into a silence that could not breathe. The god paused and said, "I can tell you the whereabouts of Tuyin, and you can see her, but you will have to bear the consequences." ”

"As long as I can get her back, I can exchange my life for it!" As soon as I said this, Si Yi grabbed her shoulders tightly. I looked back and saw Si Yi's serious face, and he was afraid that God would really take my life.

"Your life is of little use to me, and I'm not uncommon. Tuyin will find you shortly after, so you just have to be patient and don't have to go through the trouble of finding her. As she spoke, she waved an astrological staff out of thin air in her hand, and although I did not know what material it was made of, I felt a chill from my side standing under it, and it seemed that it must be extraordinary. It made me shudder. Ever since she appeared, I had been overwhelmed by the powerful spiritual power, and it felt like being soaked in the ice water of an extremely cold place, a cold born from my heart.

At this moment, she suddenly waved her astrological staff, and the red water droplets suspended in the air immediately formed a curtain of water to surround us. In an instant, the dark temple, the suspended skeleton and the elusive smile of the god all turned into nothingness, and my eyes turned into darkness and I lost consciousness.
