Volume 2 Pointing the way to the country, Edgeworth is riding the wind. Chapter 090: Unlucky

Above the endless grassland, a wide river flows quietly.

There was a full moon in the sky, but it was half-hidden by the slightest cloud.

The brilliance of the cold moon fell on the earth, giving this world full of dark aura a little more eerie.

On the edge of the quietly flowing river, a man in disheveled clothes lay quietly among the gravel by the river.

The man's face was buried deep in the rubble, and the dirt on his face was too hard to see. And the dried blood stains on his body showed that he had been lying here for a long time.

Time passed slowly, and the man's stiff body remained motionless.

If it weren't for the faint breath in his mouth and nose, anyone would think it was a newly dead corpse.

Not far from the river, two figures stood stiffly on the branches of a dead tree.

The wide hooded black robes covered their thin bodies, and the huge scythe behind them was extremely eye-catching.

The two of them were very quiet, but there was an indescribable strangeness in their bodies. And the most surprising thing is that the two huge scythes behind them should be not light, and it stands to reason that these dry twigs are absolutely unbearable, but the two of them stood safely like this, and the branches showed no signs of breaking.

A fresh breeze blew, and the unnamed grass on the grassland swayed in the wind. And those inexplicable sounds give people an extremely terrifying feeling.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, and the river still flowed quietly.

One of the figures on the branches moved slightly, and the face hidden by the broad hat was revealed in the silver moonlight.

"Not dead yet. ”

The voice was slightly impatient, and the face was really creepy.

Because there was not half a piece of flesh on this face, just a pale skull.

"This guy is too good to hold up. ”

In the eyeballless eye hole, there was a faint green light, and the tone of the forest came under the cold moonlight, which also made people's hairs stand upside down.

The skeleton man slowly twisted his neck twice, and the dark green light in his eyes lit up.

He looked impatiently at the dark clouds that were gradually flowing in the sky, and said coldly,

"It's a waste of time. ”

Hearing his companion's complaint, the other black-robed man on the side raised his head slightly.

The black robe had the same skull under the hood, but the holes in the eyes were flashing red dots of light.

"There is no way, the law is greater than the sky. ”

The reddish skeleton man shook his head slowly.

"It is not in accordance with the rules of the underworld for us to go and take his soul now. ”

Hearing this, the other skeleton man with a green glow in his eye seemed to be a little sulky.

"Then what should I do, can't I just wait for him to breathe?"

Stretching out his fingers that were only white bones, he knocked on his companion's sickle, and he said with a little dissatisfaction,

"We still have a lot of things to do, so we can't wait for him all the time. ”

The other skeleton man sighed, and there seemed to be a lot of helplessness in his red-glowing eyes.

"There is no way, the rules of the underworld do not have such a thing as taking the souls of the living, we can only wait. ”

"Sneer......"

The skeleton man with a green glow in his eye hole snorted.

"The rules of the underworld do not say that if a living person breaks into the underworld, we should always wait for him to breathe. Don't forget, we are the Grim Reaper, not the Guardians of the Dead. ”

The red-manged skeleton man let out a long sigh as he looked at the full moon in the sky, which was half-covered by dark clouds.

"Then what can we do? You know, the rules of the underworld clearly state that the Grim Reaper cannot interfere with anything in the lower interfaces, and that our duty is only to harvest the souls of those who have run out of life, and the living are not under our jurisdiction. If we meddle casually, we won't be able to deal with Lord Asmodeus when we get back. ”

"But it's been three days since we came back from the Gate. ”

The green skeleton man seemed to spread his hands helplessly.

"If you don't return these harvested souls to the Judgment of Hell on time, you will be condemned by Lord Asmodeus. ”

Thinking of the demon Asmodeus's ruthless methods and hard heart, the Red Mangled Skeleton Man shuddered.

He had seen the Grim Reaper who had not completed his task on time, being bitten by Lord Asmodeus.

Thinking of this, his ears seemed to hear the sound of the demon lord chewing white bones in his mouth.

His legs trembled slightly, and his voice trembled slightly.

"It's not to go, it's not to stay, what should I do. ”

The redmanged skeleton man seemed to be in a quandary.

"You can't keep dragging around here. ”

Hearing this, the Green Skull Man pondered for a moment.

He looked at the man who had only one breath left, and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

"Well, let's take this person away and send him to Lord Asmodeus, and let him decide what to do with this person. ”

The red-manged skeleton man paused for a moment, and said with a little hesitation,

"But it is also a great sin to take a living person across the river of the underworld without permission, and will we make Lord Asmodeus turn his face if we do so? ”

"No, no. ”

Shaking his head, the green light in the green skeleton man's eyes sparkled.

"I heard that when Lord Asmodeus did not enter the underworld, he preferred to eat people alive, and it was only after he was given the demon name by Lord Hades that he changed this habit. ”

Reaching out to the man lying on the bank of the River of the Underworld, his skeletal chin slightly open, as if a smile.

"This guy is of unknown origin, I don't know how he got to the underworld. I think it should be this guy who somehow accidentally broke into the spatial crack in the low-level interface and happened to be swept into the underworld. In that case, he must not be on the Death Note, so let's secretly bring him back to Lord Asmodeus, and maybe the Lord will reward us. ”

The red-manged skeleton man said suspiciously,

"Really, will he be happy to secretly bring it to Lord Asmodeus?"

The Green Man Skull laughed treacherously.

"The nature of the country is easy to change, think about it, this guy is like a dessert that adults haven't seen for a long time, and it's the kind that is delivered to the door, can adults be unhappy?"

Putting his head close to the redmanged skeleton, the greenmangled skullman whispered,

"Do you remember a hundred years ago, there was a dark wizard who performed a spell that called it to summon demons from hell. In fact, that bullshit dark wizard just stumbled upon a formation that could communicate with the underworld, where could he control the great demon lord like he said? But our demon Lord Asmodeus did everything he could, secretly reached their interface through the boundary gate, and then pretended to be controlled by the dark wizard, and began to hurt people unscrupulously. But the adult he was very measured, and he didn't hurt anyone's life, but in the end, he ate the dark wizard in one bite, and left such a bad reason that summoning demons would be eaten back in that interface. ”

"What?"

The red-manged skeleton man was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise,

"Are you saying that the adult went to the subordinate interface back then because he wanted to go there, and it wasn't like reporting to him and Lord Hades, it was manipulated?"

The Green Skull hurriedly covered his companion's mouth.

"Be quiet. ”

After cautiously looking around, he was relieved.

"It's top secret, and I only learned about it by accident. ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva fiercely, the red-manged skeleton man whispered,

"Then Hades-sama is not suspicious?"

The Green Mangled Skeleton Man snorted coldly.

"It's just a little dark wizard with a subordinate interface, how can Lord Hades pursue it. I suspect that this is a hole left by Lord Hades for Lord Asmodeus, which means that if someone is using this kind of dark magic to communicate with the underworld, then Lord Asmodeus can eat the person who uses the spell as a demon. Doing so would give some awe to those who studied the magic, and would satisfy Lord Asmodeus's appetite. The best of both worlds, why doesn't Lord Hades want to be a favor?"

Hearing this, the Red Mangled Skeleton Man suddenly became excited.

"So we'll be happy to sacrifice this half-dead creature to Lord Asmodeus?"

The Greenmaned Skeleton Man nodded.

"Of course, after all, no one has performed this magic trick for nearly a hundred years, and I guess the adult's addiction has already been committed. ”

"Great!"

The Red Mangs Skull were overjoyed.

"Aren't we doing a great job?"

The Green Man Skeleton Man twisted his neck and said with a sneer,

"Of course, if Lord Asmodeus is happy, he may mention us a little, and then the two of us will never have to look at the faces of those intermediate Grim Reapers. ”

When the two of them talked about their happiness, they were extremely excited.

They looked at the man on the edge of the River Styx, and the glow in their empty eyes sparkled.

Looking at the man, it was as if they had seen some kind of treasure.

However, the man lying on the ground and pretending to be dead was not as happy as the two skeleton men. Anyone who is given as a snack will not be in a good mood.

"Your uncle!"

The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and there was an expression of wanting to cry without tears on his face hidden in the rubble.

"As soon as I got out of the tiger's mouth, I met a pack of wolves. ”

"Li Yanbei, Li Yanbei......"

"Your life, why is it so bitter......"
