Chapter 40: The Seven Deadly Sins
There was no longer a low roar of pain, no more physical discomfort, and a cluster of beating red light quickly burst out from the pupil of Wang Su's left eye.
"The eye of sin opens so fast!" Wang Su was secretly surprised, "And my body didn't feel any abnormal ......."
What surprised him even more was that the perspective effect brought by the guilty eye was no longer just a distorted abstract picture as before, but as clear and real as normal vision.
This is the full power of the Guilty Eye after receiving Uriel's blessing.
"Huh? That's ......" Wang Su suddenly gasped.
Seeing that the guilty eye widened wider and wider, the expression on Wang Su's face seemed to become surprised. His chest began to rise and fall violently, and he gasped for air.
Could it be that his body is starting to feel sick again? Same as before?
No!
Because the sin eye saw through the stone walls inside this judgment house, he was deeply shocked!!
Desert......
Endless desert ......
Endless burning desert......
From time to time, thick lightning flashed through the dark red sky, and countless tornadoes raged on the desert, sweeping the flames of the desert into the air along the way, forming terrifying flame tornadoes......
Countless ragged people fled in panic in the burning desert barefoot, most of them chased by three hellhounds or demons.
Although no sound could be heard through the stone wall, the miserable screams of those who had been pounced on by vicious dogs and torn by madness, and the wails of being carried into the air by fire tornadoes and falling to the ground seemed to penetrate Wang Su's ears through the stone walls.
What a depressing scene......
What a horrible sight......
"No!!"
Wang Su shouted unconsciously, and quickly closed his guilty eyes. The mere mere sight of that horrific sight had almost broken his mind.
"It's scary!!" Wang Su gasped and looked at the tall stone door, "This is the Inquisition of Uriel, if I guess correctly, this world outside is hell!! And that door is the gate of hell!! ”
"Yes, it's hell out there!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
Wang Su looked back and saw a white-haired old man with a glimmer of light slowly walking towards him.
"Oh? You have the aura of Uriel Archangel on you......" The white-haired old man looked Wang Su up and down with a smile in his eyes, "Hehehe, if I'm not mistaken, the last Two Realms Walker was 300 years ago......"
Wang Su asked solemnly, "You... Be? ”
The old man stroked his white beard and laughed a few times, and said as he walked up the steps: "My name is Gustavus, an ordinary angel, and I am a judge under the Archangel of Uriel......"
Wang Sumu nodded, pointed to the gate of hell and asked, "Is it to be in charge of the judgment and then send the guilty soul to hell?" ”
Gustav glanced at the gate of hell beside him, then pointed to the sky and smiled, "Yes, he is also responsible for sending innocent souls to heaven." ”
Wang Su furrowed his brows and asked, "What is the basis for your verdict of guilt or innocence here?" Is it a law that was broken in the world during his lifetime? ”
"......No," Gustav shook his head, pacing back and forth on the steps, "the laws of the world have nothing to do with us, and the basis of our judgment has not changed for thousands of years......
Speaking of this, Gustav stopped his steps, turned his head to look at Wang Su, and his gaze was fierce: "According to that, the seven deadly sins!" ”
"The Seven Deadly Sins??"
Gustav said in a deep voice: "Yes, the so-called seven deadly sins are arrogance, jealousy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. For every offense you commit in your lifetime, you will be sentenced to 100 years in hell, and two will be sentenced to 200 years... And so on. Only after serving their sentence in hell will the soul that has been cleansed of sin ascend to heaven......"
"It's... It's too messy, isn't it? Wang Su immediately raised his own question, "As far as I know, the seven deadly sins are the original sins of human nature, and they are also innate. If this is the basis for judgment, then basically no one will go straight to heaven after death. ”
"Hahahaha......" Gustav shook his head and laughed as if he had heard a joke, "you are right, very few souls can ascend to heaven immediately after death, and most of them cannot escape the process of going through hell. Young man, you are very right when you say that the seven deadly sins are the original sins of human nature, but have you ever thought about what are the motives of those who commit heinous sins in the world? ”
"I understand what you're talking about...... Wang Su lowered his head, "their motive for committing the crime is, in the final analysis, that is, they have not overcome the primitive desires in human nature......
"You answered very well." Saying that, Gustav walked to the side of the gate of hell, stretched out his hand and patted the stone door, "Young man, do you want to go into hell and feel the temperature of sin?" ”
"Forehead......" Wang Su took a few steps back, waving his hands in a panic, "Don't... Forget it, I don't want to go to that horrible place......"
"Hahahaha...... Don't be afraid of the young man, you are the one who has been blessed by Uriel, and the fire and demons of hell will fear you and will not harm you. You can even visit your relatives or friends...... It's just that their miserable appearance in hell may make you feel depressed......"
"Really?" Hearing this, Wang Su seemed to think of something, and rushed up the steps excitedly, "That... Gustav Angel, my wife... My wife she ......"
"Don't get excited, young man," said Gustav, stretching out a finger and turning it, only to see a thick book appear out of thin air, floating in front of him, "Is your wife right?" What's her name? ”
"Her name is... It's called He Yijun!! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the thick book floating in the air began to turn the pages automatically, as if it was swept by the wind.
"Found it, huh??" I saw Gustav slightly stunned, frowning and staring at the page, "I didn't expect your wife to be ......"
"What's wrong with her!!" Wang Su shouted excitedly.
Gustav pointed to the thick book and said, "She actually went straight to heaven after death... That's rare......"
"Hoo ......"
Wang Su let out a long breath and showed a smile: "Yes, didn't she commit the Seven Deadly Sins?" Hehe, if that's really the case...... I'm not surprised. ”
"Oh?" Gustav looked at him puzzled.
Wang Su's face was filled with a happy smile, as if he was immersed in the memories of the past: "She, she was always so gentle and kind before, so willing to help others, although I am rich, but she does not have high requirements for material life, she has always been so frugal and simple......"
Gustav laughed: "It's enviable, you have a good wife." ”
"But... Such a good woman, but she was ......" Wang Su lowered his head, his fists clenched, and a few unwilling tears fell beside his feet.
"Child......" Gustav reached out and stroked Wang Su's shoulder, "now you deeply understand that sin is always so ugly and infuriating, don't you?" Maybe that's one of the reasons why you were chosen to be a Traveler of the Two Realms......"
Wang Su wiped away his tears and asked, "Angel Gustav, can I go to heaven to see my wife's soul?" ”
Gustav was slightly stunned, then slowly shook his head: "It's a pity kid, this can't be done." Paradise, not so easy to enter. The Wanderer of the Two Realms refers to the fact that the soul can freely travel between the two worlds of earth and hell, but does not include heaven. ”
"Yes......" Wang Su sighed heavily, looking up at the towering dome, "It's okay, it's already a good comfort to know that she has ascended to heaven...... But..."
Speaking of this, Wang Su clenched his teeth and clenched his fists again.
"But the evil forces that poisoned her... No!! I will not let go of the evil forces that attack all good people!! ”
Looking at Wang Su's resolute demeanor, Gustav nodded silently with an approving gaze.
"Bang Bang!!"
I saw Wang Su suddenly pat his face heavily, and said loudly: "Okay, I should go back!" I want to go back to earth to fulfill what Archangel Uriel said!! ”
Gustav smiled and asked, "What words?" ”
The corners of Wang Su's mouth raised his trademark smile, and he said word by word: "Sin, you should tremble!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Wang Su's brows locked, and two clusters of shimmers, one green and one red, appeared in the pupils of his eyes at the same time!!
He was so relieved that he opened the eyes of sin and remorse at the same time!
"Goodbye, Angel Gustav."
Wang Su's figure disappeared into the courtroom.
Gustav stared thoughtfully at the place where Wang Su had disappeared, and said to himself, "Go, young man, maybe... You're going to do better than I did......"
"Alright, it's time for me to get to work......" Gustav waved his long sleeves at the empty Inquisition, only to see several Grim Reapers, with scythes on their shoulders, slowly walking down the steps with chains in their hands pulling the souls they had just captured and awaiting trial.
