Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 4: Strange boy

I walked forward cautiously, and I couldn't help but secretly surprised that there was not a single fallen leaf on the ground in this huge forest. Suddenly there was a bird-like sound not far away, and I raised my head abruptly, as if something floated past my eyes, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, wouldn't some monster suddenly appear?

I stood still and held onto the tree next to me. After putting my hand on the tree for a few seconds, I suddenly realized that I jumped up in fright. The tentacles of this tree branch are extremely soft. It feels like human skin... I took two steps back and hit a tree next to me with a bang. It felt like hitting someone's arms. Suddenly there was another sound: "Ouch!" He was even more horrified at the moment, slipped under his feet, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Ouch, it hurts..." The voice came again, and I took a closer look and found that the voice came from that tree. But—there was no one on the tree. Could it be...a chill ran down my spine.

"It's a demon or a ghost, get out of here!" I stared at the tree closely.

"I want to come out too, but in this forest valley, sinners will turn into trees, and I didn't mean to scare you."

I slapped myself on the chest, ah, it's the tree talking, it's really the tree talking!

After finally calming down a bit, I remembered what he said, and I was shocked again, "You mean, every tree here is transformed by the undead?"

"Yes, in the forest valley, the body of the suicide will become a tree trunk, the skin will become a leaf, and take root in the land of despair. And they can't speak anymore. I can't speak because I have only been here recently. Speak, but..." The voice seemed a little low. Judging from the voice, this seems to be a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. It seems really pitiful to be thrown in the forest valley at such a young age...

"You are so young, why did you commit suicide?" I stood up and patted my pants.

"I..." He hesitated, "In short, I'm dead, it's good for everyone."

"How can you be so pessimistic at a young age!" I glared at the tree, "Suicide is the most stupid act, only cowards who dare not face reality will adopt this negative way of escape, you yourself It's all over, but have you ever thought about your family? It's really selfish to leave all the pain to your family."

"Alas..." he sighed softly, "I regret it now."

"What's the use of regretting, no one can save you!"

"It's not impossible," he paused, "When I first arrived in Forest Valley, there were still a few trees that could barely speak. They said that there is only one thing that can restore us to our original state, if it can be restored , if you can escape to Tomita, you may have a chance to be reincarnated as a human again."

"What?" I blurted out.

"The blood of the living."

I was stunned for a while, but before I answered, he went on to say: "But in the underworld, how can there be blood of living people, so..."

Isn't there one ready-made blood of a living person? I entered the underworld in a state of suspended animation, wouldn't the blood on my body save him? But—can I really trust this boy? If he reveals the secret that I am alive, the consequences may be serious. Not everyone in this world can be trusted, not to mention that in this strange underworld, unexpected things are hard to guard against. Forget it, anyway, I am not familiar with this boy, and this forest valley looks much better than the other hells.

"Then I can't help you anymore, I have to go on my way, take care of yourself." I used a calm face to cover up the faint uneasiness in my heart... In case what he said is true...

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard the sound of fluttering wings, accompanied by the high-pitched singing of birds, and in a blink of an eye, countless large and hideous birds enveloped the sky like dark clouds over the forest, and rushed straight down like arrows. He kept pecking at the leaves on the branches, and suddenly, a low mournful howl sounded in the silent forest.

Those trees are all made of undead. These big birds are like pecking at their bodies. Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked back at the tree I had talked to, and saw a **** bird The bird stopped on the branch of the tree, and pecked at the leaves. I saw red water flowing down the trunk when the leaves were separated from the branches. Could it be... blood?

Hearing his voice trying to bear the pain, I kept struggling in my heart, what should I do? Should we continue to stand by and watch or...save him?

I was ruthless, and walked forward a few steps quickly, but his muffled groan could be heard clearly next to my ear, my heart trembled, and I paused for a few seconds, and finally rushed back and grabbed his arm Trunk, said loudly: "How much blood do you want?"

"One...one drop is enough..." His voice was weak.

I took a deep breath, bit my middle finger, and a small drop of bright red blood fell on the tree. At the moment the blood dripped, a ball of white mist enveloped the big tree. In the hazy white mist, the shadow of a young man appeared faintly.

When the white mist gradually dissipated, I finally saw his true face.

As expected, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. His rare silver-blue hair danced gently on his shoulders like waves, and his thin, transparent light green eyes were filled with a lively light, like countless little elves. The pale pink lips are slightly parted, like a child craving candy, and the soft lip line has a hint of innocence.

It's a boy who is as cute as a little lamp. Thinking of Xiao Deng, I couldn't help but pursed my lips and smiled.

"By the way, those birds..."

"Those are the harpies of Hades. They only peck at the leaves and won't attack us." He looked at me with a smile, "Thank you for saving me."

I nodded in embarrassment, then pointed to his injured arm, "These injuries..."

"It's okay, I'm dead anyway." He glanced at his arm disapprovingly, then looked at me thoughtfully, "Let's get out of here quickly."

I thought that there was either a storm or a fried barbecue waiting for me, but I was surprised by the sight in front of me...

A sea of ​​flowers all over the sky.

Pink, lavender, and blue poppies bloom all over the valley, and the petals are slightly transparent like chiffon. Each flower is very simple, but they merge into a melancholy; the bright colors are warm and bright, but there is a mysterious charm and strangeness in the boundless. The petals of various colors are flying all over the sky in the gray and dark sky, which is even more imaginative.

No matter what, I never thought that the underworld would have such a beautiful place...

I stepped into the sea of ​​flowers lightly, bent down, took a deep breath of the fragrant air, stretched out my hand to touch the flowers, and lay down in the sea of ​​flowers unconsciously, looking up at the gray sky, I Suddenly there is a feeling of déjà vu, as if I was lying in this sea of ​​flowers like this a long time ago... Even the scent is so familiar...

"This is the flower field of the underworld, the most beautiful place in the underworld." The boy sat down beside me while talking.

"I thought Manjushahua was the only one in the underworld." I closed my eyes. I hadn't heard Si Yin mention this flower field before. When I go back, I must tell him that the underworld also has such a beautiful place.

"Since you are a living person, how did you enter the underworld?" Although his voice was soft, my body tensed.

I opened my eyes, sat up, looked at him and said, "Don't forget, I'm your savior now, so don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

He smiled slightly, "Then what should I ask?"

"Don't even ask!"

"I'm just curious. You, a girl, have the courage to sneak into the underworld. I think there must be something important to do."

"Important thing? How is it possible? I don't know why I'm here, so I'm trying to find my way back to the human world." I quickly covered up. I don't know if it was dazzled, but there seemed to be a strange look in his eyes.

"My name is An Ti, how about you?" His eyes were pure, and there was a small dimple on his lips.

"Then you swear now, if you tell the secret that I am a living person, you will become an armored general in your next life." I tried my best to hide the smile on my lips.

He gave me a puzzled look, and then said with a smile: "I, An Ti, swear to God, if..."

"My name is Ye Yin." I interjected.

"If I, An Ti, tell Xiaoyin's secret, I will become an armored general in my next life." He said seriously.

I finally couldn't help laughing, "You have to remember."

"But...why is the Iron Armored General?" He was still puzzled.

"Don't you know, Iron Armored General has another name——" Seeing his curious expression, I prolonged my voice on purpose, "—Pushing Dung Worm."

He was taken aback for a moment, his face changed slightly, and then he laughed again.

"Sure enough, it's more interesting to be alive." He blurted out.

I glanced at him and thought his words were a bit weird.

However, his smile and eyes always remind me of Xiaodeng, perhaps because of his similar cuteness.

Thinking of this, I stood up, turned my head and said to him: "Let's hurry up, I hope you can reach Tomita sooner, if you are reincarnated as a human this time, don't do stupid things again, I I won’t come here for the second time.”

"Yeah." He nodded emphatically.

There were people walking together, and the next journey seemed to be much faster. We passed through the dangerous ten trenches smoothly.

After walking out of the last rotten trench, I finally couldn't help but vomited out all the acidic water in my stomach, and sat on the ground exhausted, feeling tired and hungry, sore all over, and didn't want to move anymore half point.

"Anti, if you want to go, go first, I really can't hold on anymore, let me rest for a while." I waved my hand and said.

Asuka, it's not that I don't want to save you quickly, it's just that my physical strength has been exhausted...

Anti picked me up, "Xiaoyin, the first lap is ahead, and after four laps, Tomita is here, and there is the road leading to the human world, hold on..."

Four laps? There is a thrill in my mind, the legendary four circles seem to be the place where Pluto and his important subordinates live. So, the **** of death and the **** of sleep that I met before should also live here?

It was over, and a large piece of thorns appeared in front of my eyes.

"There are gods of death and gods of sleep..." I muttered without confidence.

"Don't worry, they are busy with work every day and are often not in their own palace." An Ti smiled and patted my shoulder. Busy Work? No way, that sleepy **** just finds a place to sleep everywhere in his spare time. Could it be his job to sleep?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. I glanced at An Ti, and he didn't seem nervous or scared at all. Can you still be so calm at this time? But...

"How do you know this?"

"I heard about it too." He took my hand and said, "Let's go."

At the entrance of the first circle stands a huge stone tablet with nothing written on it, bypassing the huge stone tablet, the palace of death appeared in front of our eyes. Sure enough, as An Ti said, there was no one in the palace of the God of Death. I couldn't believe it. I followed An Ti through the empty palace, and then passed through the palace of the God of Sleep without any danger. three laps.

Everything seems to be going too smoothly... I clearly realized this when I walked into the third palace.

The flickering candles in the dark palace made me feel uneasy like never before.

"Anti..." I felt anxious and wanted to tell him to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he happened to see a slightly strange look on his face.

"Xiaoyin." He suddenly called me.

"What's wrong?" I stared at him, feeling more and more uneasy for some reason.

He still had a pure smile on his face, but there was a strange light in his eyes, "Do you know who lives in this third hall?"

"Yes..." I desperately recalled what Si Yin said, besides the God of Death and God of Sleep, there should be more in the underworld... Suddenly I raised my head, "The God of Dreams?"

He smiled happily and kept nodding his head.

"So what?"

"Do you know the name of the Oneiroi?"

"Don't know."

The corner of his mouth evoked an intriguing smile, "His name is—Anti."

I stared blankly at him and didn't speak for a long time.

"You! Why?!" It took me a long time to react, and the anger of being deceived burned my whole body.

"Why?" He kept laughing, "Because it's fun."

"Fun?" The corners of my mouth began to twitch uncontrollably. I understand what is the appearance of an angel and the heart of a devil.

"When I heard from Kaina that the cause of your death could not be found out, I suspected that maybe you entered the underworld as a fake death. Sure enough, you don't know until you try." He took a few steps forward, "How can you You have blinded Kaina and our eyes, it seems that the person who gave you this kind of suspended animation is definitely not simple."

"Damn kid, he acted quite realistically..." I glanced at the scars on his hands, and was shocked, all of his scars had disappeared.

"Hehe, that's not the case, how could you believe it." He smiled innocently again, "Besides, just now, I used Dream Phantom, and all my wounds you saw were phantoms " I stared at his beautiful face, and suddenly I had the urge to be a flat person again, no, the urge to flatten a god.

"Hmph, it's an honor for a little person like me to bother Mr. Oneiroi to do it himself." I said sarcastically.

"Of course, I usually don't care about such nosy things at all," he slowly lowered his head, looked straight into my eyes, with a strange smile on his face, "I just want to see who it is So bold, dare to kick my brother."

"Your brother?" My heart tightened, I seem to have only kicked one person here, "The sleeping **** is your brother?"

He nodded, "Come with me to see Lord Pluto now."

Bang! I seem to have heard the sound of a flower pot hitting my head, "See you, Pluto?"

He resumed the angelic smile just now, "You escaped from the second prison without finding out the cause of death, broke into eight prisons and three valleys, and kicked my brother by the way, do you think Lord Pluto doesn't know about this? ?”

I suppressed my trembling voice, "Then, what will Pluto do? Kill me?" I didn't want to run away so quickly, but I couldn't help but feel scared.

"You'll know when you go." He raised the corner of his mouth and gave me a big smile.
