0137 River of Despair
?
The big man wanted to bite my neck, but I couldn't hold my hands back, so I bit him in the face as well. This was obviously not what they expected, especially the big man, who stuck his head over, but I bit his cheek first......
The big man let out a pig-killing scream, trying to break free. But I had the mentality of dying, biting his face to death, and said in my heart, aren't you going to suck me dry? I'm sucking you too......
Thinking to myself, I took a hard sip. It's just that I didn't expect that when I sucked it down, the soul of the big man disappeared.
I felt indescribably confused by this situation, and when I looked at my own spirit, my hands and feet were already revealed. But the old man in front of him was trembling all over, and his teeth trembled and said, "You...... You...... Did you suck He Dazhi dry? You...... You ......"
I lowered my head and looked at my soul, and realized that it was no longer an illusion, and the transparency of my body seemed to have lightened a little. Obviously, the one I took before actually sucked the big man dry.
As the old man asked incoherently, the fat woman quickly floated out of the canopy, and shouted in a sharp voice, "What's the matter......" Perhaps realizing that the spirit of the big man had disappeared, she suddenly stopped her voice, grew her mouth wide, and looked back and forth between me and the old man's faces with a look of great surprise.
The old man pointed at me and stammered, "He'...... He...... Only took one puff...... just sucked He Dazhi dry......"
The fat woman was stunned for a moment, then let out a scream of "Mom", turned around and jumped into the sea, and swam away for her life.
The old man wanted to run when he saw this, but because he was too close to me, I grabbed his arm. So he screamed too, and that cry ...... It seems that he has been frightened and looks extremely desperate......
Maybe it was because he had already sucked up some people's souls before, and felt the despair of those gods before they died, so he was so afraid. Even if I suck him dry now, it will be retribution for him, of course, I won't do that, just thinking about it makes me feel disgusting.
In fact, I didn't expect that I could suck the soul of the big man dry just by taking a sip.
I said to the old man in some confusion: "Stop shouting! Answering my question, I am satisfied, and I can let you live. ”
The old man cried and mourned, nodded tremblingly and said, "Okay! Good! You ask! You ask! I'll say everything, and I promise to know everything! You have to talk and count! I...... I'm miserable! Please, don't ......"
I interrupted him impatiently and said, "That's it! You answer my questions with your heart, and as long as I think one sentence is false, I will suck you dry in one bite. ”
The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Good! Good! ”
I secretly wondered, did my heart say yes? It's also a god's soul, if I suck you, you can suck me too, why are you afraid of this......
I asked him, "Where is this?" ”
The old man thought about it seriously, as if he was afraid of answering the wrong answer, and said cautiously: "Here...... It's the Netherworld! Where we are, it's the River Styx! This small boat was snatched by that woman and Zhao Dazhi......"
I muttered, "Styx? Isn't this the sea? ”
The old man said cautiously, "No, it's not the sea, it's the River Styx, and the River Styx is bigger than the sea." ”
It's not the sea...... It's so big, and there are waves, no wonder I think it's the sea......
I frowned and asked him, "Where is Lethe?" ”
The old man looked like he was about to cry, and said, "Lethe, I've only heard of it, I haven't been there at all, I ...... I don't know where. I don't know if this is true, it's not fake, please, you must believe me, I didn't lie. ”
I didn't look like he was pretending, but I still brought him up viciously, pretending to be fierce and shouting, "Don't tell the truth? Then don't blame me! ”
The old man was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt directly on the deck, crying and crying: "Don't! No! I'm telling the truth! If you knew, why didn't you tell you! Don't suck! Don't suck ......."
Estimating that he really didn't know where Lethe was, I sighed secretly and asked him, "Haven't you heard others mention the location of Lethe?" ”
The old man said anxiously, "I have heard it! But I just heard that Lethe is already the edge of this netherworld, the netherworld! Bigger than the world I was living in! I just know where it is, and I've never heard of it. ”
When I heard this, my heart sank, and I said that if the Netherworld is bigger than the earth, and Lethe River is on the edge of the Netherworld, how can I find it?
I don't know how long the three-month period has passed, the time is already short, and I can't find a place yet......
I said, "Is the world you lived in alive also the earth?" "***, it feels so awkward to say this......
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh? What Earth? I haven't heard of it. ”
I asked him, "Which dynasty are you from?" ”
The old man said, "Great ...... Great Song. ”
Grass...... It's really from the earth, and this one basically didn't run......
In fact, there are still some bits and pieces I want to ask, but if you think about it carefully, leaving a ghost with no humanity by your side, after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. After all, I didn't really intend to suck his soul out because I felt disgusting, but on the other hand, I was still no different from a meal to him...... It's just a ferocious meal.
So I asked him one last question: "Why are you so afraid of me?" ”
The old man trembled and said, "You...... You just look weak on the surface, but in fact...... In fact, the spirit is very strong. He Dazhi sucks other people's souls, it takes about two pillars of incense, and you just suck him dry in the blink of an eye. ”
I understand this, the same spirit, but my quality is much higher than theirs, if I really move my mouth, they need two pillars of incense to suck me, I only need one pinch to suck them, no wonder that woman jumped into the river to escape.
I think this should be entirely thanks to the Nine Days of Ambush Diagram. It's a pity that I can't feel the connection with the desert space now, otherwise if I take out the Nine Days Ambush Diagram and visualize it, my soul will definitely recover very quickly......
I said to the old man, "Get out! ”
The old man jumped into the water as if he had been amnestied, and did not forget to wave his hand to thank me: "Thank you for the hero's grace not to kill!" ”
I said fuck you, if I didn't feel disgusting to suck the soul, you old man would have been wiped out...... Sucking up the souls of the same kind is no different from cannibalism, it's simply intolerable!
Thinking to myself, I felt unspeakable anxiety again. Even though there is a boat now, there are no oars, and it is still driven by the waves. And I don't know the specific direction of Lethe......
Now I can only hope that the location of Lethe is just ahead of the wave......
At the same time, my heart is also hanging, in this seemingly quiet water, in fact, there are many hidden dangers...... For example, the old man and the fat woman who jumped off the boat before, and when they encounter other ships, they will definitely look for an opportunity to seize the boat; When you encounter a divine soul, you will definitely find a way to absorb it......
I believe that there are many similar spirits on this Styx. In his lifetime, he can still be bound by the law and human feelings, and after turning into a god, he is left to devour each other, kill each other, and climb the food chain by any means...... Of course, these are conjectures, but they are creepy enough.
Therefore, I secretly decided that from now on, I would no longer believe in any gods. This is the law of the Netherworld, and it can also be seen as the rules of the game, if you want not to be devoured, if you want to become stronger, you can only devour each other in every possible way.
Thinking about it this way, I began to understand the old man and the fat woman before, maybe they weren't like this at first, they stayed on the Styx for a long time, and then slowly became blackened by their surroundings...... The so-called god soul is nothing but a ghost, and some people are used to calling it a soul, in the final analysis, the simplest way to say it is to become a ghost. Ghosts are inhumane, but it's understandable, but I really can't accept the practice of devouring the same kind.
So I started to be deliberately wary of everything around me. The speed of floating on the boat was obviously much faster than the spirit on the water, and I don't know how long it took for me to see the spirit of a woman in red dressed in her thirties.
When the woman was closest to me, about ten meters away, when she was floating on the water, and I was standing at the bow of the boat, she looked back and forth at me with a pair of vigilant and greedy eyes, and then asked as if tentatively, "Handsome guy, are you a partner?" ”
I said, "Fuck you." ”
She sneered and stretched out her limbs towards the boat I was in.
I stood at the bow of the boat and scolded, "Come on! Fuck you! It's disgusting, but I swear I'll suck you dry as soon as you dare to touch my boat! ”
The woman sneered again, and at the same time stopped moving, floating quietly on the water, her eyes full of resentment.
I had the feeling that I had become an animal, that I was in the world of animals, that it was really a region of the jungle and the cannibalism. Styx, I don't know how much despair has drowned, how many souls have withered. Perhaps the river is not black, but red, purple and purple.
Seeing that it was difficult for the woman to catch up again, I looked around vigilantly, and gradually, a small boat appeared in the distance.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat. If I had a choice, I wouldn't let my ship come closer to that boat. Unfortunately, there were no oars on the boat, and the only way to distance myself from the boat was to abandon the boat and swim into the distance......
Of course, if you do that, you will only end up being more passive. So I leaned down, poked my head out of the way, and stole into the boat......
As the distance closes, the situation on the small boat can be seen at a glance. I met three Japanese men dressed as samurai, two of them rowing, one of them holding a sword, apparently because they had spotted the boat I was on, and they were coming over with their fingers and whining and shouting something......
I continued to observe in a daze, and my heart said that I was grass! These three guys look like they're human!
