22. Hades Guard

I told the thin doctor in detail about the assassination of Susanoo a few days ago, and I also brought the ten-fist sword to him so that he could see it clearly.

The thin doctor's eyes were always fixed on the Ten Fists Sword, and his attention seemed to be all focused on this sword, and he didn't seem to care about how my soul was out of my body, and as for the sincerity, he probably never cared.

"I've said everything I'm going to say, isn't it time for you to make good on your promise?" I got a little impatient, so I urged.

The thin doctor looked up at me, "Wait a minute, I'll take another look at this sword." ”

I sighed, and raised my sword a little higher, so high that it was almost against the thin man's face. Even so, the thin doctor had no intention of retreating, not only did he not retreat, but he brought his face closer together, and raised his hand to touch the blade of the sword.

I didn't take my sword back, but simply satisfied all his curiosity in one go.

The moment the thin doctor's hand touched the blade of the sword, he suddenly exclaimed, and his hand bounced off the blade like an electric shock. He was wearing gloves on his hands, and the gloves were smoking at this time, and soon there was an open flame on the fingertips of the gloves.

The thin doctor frantically took off his gloves and threw them on the ground, then kept shaking his hands, and I realized that it was not the gloves that really burned, but his hands, which were also covered with black holes.

The fire did not spread in the thin man's hands, and he only flicked his hand a few times before the fire was extinguished.

There were not a few people who were killed by the Ten Fists Sword before, but none of them caught fire because they touched the sword. I have the power of Tsukiyo, perhaps because the Ten Fist Sword is repelling the power of Tsukiyo, so I feel a strong burning sensation, and now the thin doctor's hand is on fire, which obviously shows that he also has a special power, a power that will make the Ten Fist Sword have a repulsive reaction.

He is God! No doubt!

Chang Le and Qiao Wei made the first action to deal with it, and even the white tiger grinned and showed a fierce look, and the silver tiger hair on his body stood up. I was also absolutely vigilant, and instead of letting the ten-fist sword in my hand disappear, I continued to hold it in my hand and was ready to attack the thin doctor.

The thin doctor also seemed to see what we were wary of, and he hurriedly waved at me and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not all the way with Susanoo, you can rest assured of this." ”

"But you're not human, are you?" I asked.

The thin doctor nodded, "You're right, I'm not a complete human being now, although I used to be a human being, but now I'm not. ”

"Ever? So you're also a servant who gets strength from God? ”

After I asked this sentence, I also realized that I seemed to have slipped out of my mouth, and my word "also" undoubtedly revealed my own identity. But now it doesn't matter what I say, and from the moment I took out the Ten Fists Sword, I believe I don't have the meaning of hiding my identity anymore.

The skinny doctor didn't seem to pay much attention to the word "also" I said, but replied to my question: "I don't remember when I became what I am now, I just know that I was once human, and now my mission is to watch over these bugs." ”

"I see the bugs you mentioned, what are they? Where did it come from? I asked.

"They're soul eaters, from Hades." The thin doctor said in a calm and emotionless tone.

Sure enough, our previous inference seems to be correct, those bugs are really from the underworld.

"We feel a lot of dead spirits around here, but they can't show their heads, what's going on? What does it have to do with those bugs? I continued.

The thin doctor nodded and said, "Those dead souls are in the body of the bug, and the bug is in the body of the girl you are protecting, I don't know how you feel the existence of those souls, but you can't see those souls, they are destined to die in the body of the bug." ”

"What do you mean by perishing? Shouldn't the soul of a person be reincarnated in the underworld after death? "Although I don't believe in any reincarnation, since the Hades worms have appeared, I can only continue to ask questions along this topic.

The thin doctor nodded at me, "The soul of a person does enter the underworld, not only the soul of a person, but the soul of everything will enter the underworld, and finally be completely decomposed by the insects of the underworld. ”

"Decomposition?"

I'm interested in this term, it's not the same as just eating, just like animal carcasses are broken down by microorganisms into simple inorganic matter and returned to nature, no one will say that microbes eat those carcasses, they just break down the carcasses into more primitive and basic substances.

"Yes, decomposition." The thin doctor nodded and said, "The Soul Eater will swallow all the souls into the body, and in the body they will turn them into the purest and smallest souls, and these souls will eventually come back and take on a new appearance. ”

"So the Soul Eaters are actually the microorganisms in the underworld, they are responsible for breaking down all the souls into the most basic soul units, and then let these souls return to the human world to enter reincarnation, I understand, right?" I said.

"Yes, you're right."

"Then why do these insects that are supposed to be in the underworld run into the world? And also to make holes in living people? I continued.

"You should be able to find the answer to this question easily, right?" The thin doctor didn't answer me directly, but betrayed me.

But this time I didn't rush him impatiently, but thought seriously about his words, because I did have a vague answer in my head - death!

If you think of the thin doctor as the god of Hades, but Susanoo and Tsukiyo should be considered gods, these gods like to collect people's souls, and they will even start wars to speed up the collection of souls.

In fact, when I learned that God needs to obtain energy through human souls, I was already thinking about a problem, the people of the earth have to die a large number of people every day, even if they don't start a war, God seems to be able to collect a large number of souls easily, but the gods don't seem to get too many souls, and in order to get souls, they also made a lot of tools to collect souls.

Why is this so?

Now the answer is obvious, because there is another force competing with the gods, and this competitor is from Hades. Rather than snatching souls from competitors, it's easier to attack them directly, such as taking souls from the stomach of the Hades.

"Did God release the worms from Hades and rob them of their undecomposed souls?" I asked.

"Look, I told you you knew the answer." The thin doctor showed his ugly smile again, "It's because of the existence of those so-called gods that you need guards like me to protect these insects of Hades. As for that girl, Lin Lin, she was born dead, and I gave her a second life, and the meaning of her survival was not to enjoy life, but to serve as a temporary shelter for the worms of Hades, and my treatment for her was to bring back the worms that inhabited her body. ”
