Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 2: Eight Prisons (Part 1)

Just like the legend, in this dark and cold place ruled by Pluto, there is no spring breeze blowing, no clear springs gushing out, and no birds singing. Only the desperate souls of people came and went, and the smoke and dust filled the surroundings, boundless, and there was a kind of gray that had no sense of time around me.

The sound of the rushing river can be heard faintly in the ear, is it about to reach the Santu River?

The crowd moved forward slowly, so quiet that it made people panic.

"Why are so many people dead again?" A soft voice suddenly broke the silence.

I looked up and saw a green figure walking in my direction, followed by several black figures.

I was slightly startled and hurriedly lowered my head.

"Look, there are a few children in front, who died at birth, the men in the middle, their families don't know what to do, and this girl, who died at such a young age, it's really pitiful ..." The man's voice with a trace of regret suddenly sounded above my head.

I was naturally taken aback and raised my head abruptly.

A pair of black eyes filled with mist hit my eyes, it was an indescribable black, thin water droplets stuck to his long eyelashes, like sparkling rhinestones inlaid on a black feather fan Indescribably elegant and charming. A head of shiny black long hair hangs down, stretching to the end. He is very beautiful, but at the same time charming to the bone, but at the same time fresh and bright, his beauty makes you feel that he is incomparable, but it will not make you forget that he is a man.

He seemed to be looking at me, could it be that the young girl he was talking about was me?

"I think it's better to send her back with those children." He shook his head, unexpectedly took out a small handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Master Xiu, this is impossible, have you forgotten, last time you insisted on sending an old couple back to the human world, and last time you simply sent the other family back, and last time... I can't remember how many times it was, Lord Pluto punished you several times for this, if you are soft-hearted this time, I think punishment will be inevitable..." The faces of the people around him changed drastically, and they hurriedly stopped him.

"But, they are really pitiful..." Shiny drops of water hung on his eyelashes again. This man called Xiu had abnormally developed tear glands. Is there such a person? Where exactly is it sacred?

Besides, it seems that Master Xiu has quite a lot of authority, and he actually has the right to make people return his yang. However, his heart can't help but be—isn't it great?

"Oh, why do human beings die." He turned to the people around him with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Master Xiu, if human beings do not die, our underworld will not exist. Sir, as the **** of death, you really shouldn't be so soft-hearted. On the contrary, you should bring more deaths to human beings. In this way, our underworld To be able to..."

I didn't hear what the man said later, I just stared blankly at that Master Xiu.

What? grim Reaper? He is death?

I can't believe it at all!

In my impression, shouldn't the Grim Reaper be an unknown creature wearing a black cloak, with a vague appearance, a cold heart, and a scythe in his hand? But this Mr. Xiu is not only charming, but also sentimental. I really don't know how he got into the high-level management position of Death.

"But..." Master Xiu wanted to say something, but was dragged away by the entourage who twitched the corner of his mouth.

It took me a long time to react from the shock. I didn't expect to meet a heavyweight big shot, God of Death, that man just now was God of Death. He only appeared in legends and controlled everything in the world. Thousands of lives, the **** of the underworld, which is so frightening, actually appeared in front of my eyes like this.

Before I knew it, I followed the undead team to the Santu River.

On the other side of the river, there are a large number of shocking crimson flowers blooming, which are so enchanting that they are almost black and red. From a distance, they look like a carpet made of blood, like fire and blood.

Manjusawa, a flower that only blooms by the Santu River in the underworld. Looking at this coquettish flower, my mood suddenly became inexplicably excited. As long as I find that orange flower, the bird will wake up...

For some reason, I seem to have a strange sense of familiarity with this place...

At this moment, there seemed to be commotion in the team, and a small boat floated slowly and leisurely, drifting up and down with the waves towards this side. Standing on the boat was a skinny old boatman. He had a hooked nose as big as a horse's beak, messy beard and hair, long ears, sharp teeth, and crooked lips. Chilling horror atmosphere.

It's the ferryman on the Santu River...

The undead scrambled to get on the boat. In the crowd, some undead fell into the river, and some had no money to pay for the boat, and were mercilessly thrown down the river by the ferryman. The river was swallowed up, and more undead lingered on the shore, howling and crying...

Such a scene can't help but make me feel a little palpitated. I quickly walked through the line and walked towards the ferryman, holding the small silver coin tightly in my hand. The ferryman gave me a blank look. I stepped onto the boat and prepared to hand over the silver coins to him. The silver coin drew an arc in the air, and fell into the rushing river with a plop.

"Ah!" I screamed, Oops, what can I do now! Si Yin, a cheapskate, should give me a lot!

"Since there is no ferry money, let's go down." The ferryman said coldly, and with a wave of the oar, he ruthlessly knocked me into the river.

"Don't!" I just said two words, and I felt that I was in the cold, and the smelly river water poured into my mouth in an instant, this snobbish and hateful old man, he was too ruthless . The undead who fell into the water around me quickly sank into the water, and I was shocked. I wouldn't be swallowed by the river like this, I really died before I was born...

"Huh? Why haven't you sunk yet?" The ferryman looked at me coldly, with a hint of surprise on his face.

I looked at myself, and it was really strange. I was just floating in the water, and I didn't sink into the water like everyone else. Could it be because I was suspended animation, or was it for some other reason?

"I did too many good things during my lifetime, so I won't sink. I think you should be kind and take me to the other side." I blinked and looked at him.

He snorted coldly, "If you don't have money, you can talk about it."

"Wait! Can I use this?" I hurriedly pointed to the necklace around my neck. I have been wearing this necklace since I took down the sapphire of Sanatesi.

He glanced at me, seemed to think for a while, and finally said something that made me feel relieved.

"Come on."

When I reached the other side, those manjusawa appeared in front of me even more closely. The thick and colorful male and female stamens stretched out long. It also looks like a pair of hands praying to the autumn sky. I took a deep breath and raised my eyes to look at the dark city wall in front of me. Suddenly, an inexplicable arrogance surged in my heart. The eight prisons, three valleys, four circles, and ten trenches all flashed aside. Hades palace, here I come!

Following the undead who crossed the Santu River, I entered the first of the eight prisons in the underworld—the prison of judgment.

There is nothing in the black and empty hall except a black chair, and there is a gust of wind blowing from time to time, and I can't help but shiver. Taking advantage of this time, I looked at the undead around me, and they all seemed to be dazed.

"Hessid, Greek, forty-eight years old, died of disease." A low voice came from the front, I was startled, looked up, and I didn't know when I was sitting on the black chair a young man. He was wearing a light gray robe, with blond hair and brown eyes, and a delicate and serious face. He held a thick scroll in his hand, and he exuded a majestic aura from top to bottom.

A middle-aged man next to me suddenly knelt down with a plop, "I, I am Hessid. Please be merciful..."

"Hessid, you know what you did when you were alive, right?" The blond man looked a bit like a judge. The man named Hesid was shaking all over and just shook his head desperately.

The blond man took out a dilapidated copper-colored mirror from his arms, and said expressionlessly: "Let this mirror of judgment tell you the result."

The mirror shone on Hessid, and suddenly many different pictures appeared in the mirror, which seemed to be the shots of this man when he was alive. It is very clear, but I can clearly see the scene of him trafficking women and children. This person seems to be a human trafficker before his death.

"Hessid, you trafficked a total of 822 women and children during your lifetime. Your crimes are serious. I, Kaina, the judge of the first prison, now pronounce the sentence. The place you are going to is the seventh prison. Sinners who traffic women and children will be whipped there forever." The blond man said coldly. It turned out that his name was Kaina, and his appearance was more like eating this bowl of rice, unlike that Lord Death, who seemed to have gone to the wrong place anyway.

Hessid collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Afterwards, the remaining undead were sent to different places according to the size of their sins, and some were sent to Tomita—the exit leading to the human world.

"Ye Yin, Chinese, nineteen years old, died at—" Kaina paused, a trace of surprise flashed across his stern face, "There is no record of your death method."

"Maybe it's an omission." I blurted out, nonsense, this lady has a long life.

He was obviously surprised by my reaction, maybe he has only seen people scared and scared, but he has never seen someone as calm as me. He nodded slightly, took out the mirror anyway, and repeated what he had just said. The mirror was reflected on my body, and I immediately raised my eyes to see the scene in the mirror. To my surprise, there was nothing in the mirror.

"What's going on?" Kaina looked at me suspiciously.

"The mirror is broken, I think this mirror is also very old." I muttered, "Besides, I am a good person, and I have never done anything bad."

"Ah, why don't you just send me to Tomita?" I rolled my eyes. There, wow, wouldn't it be much more convenient for me?

"Have you done anything bad?" He flipped through the scroll in his hand, "But here are some crimes you committed during your lifetime."

"What? A crime?" Suddenly hearing such a serious word, I couldn't help being stunned. I, Ye Yin, didn't seem to have committed any crimes in my nineteen years of life, right?

"When I was five years old, I used hot water to water the ant nest; when I was six years old, I fought with others and broke the other's head; When I was 8 years old... Strange, there is no record after the age of eight."

"I said, Mr. Judge, are those counted as crimes?" My face began to cramp, and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. When I was eight years old, it happened to be the year when Si Yin came to pick me up.

He glanced at me, "Based on these, of course you can't judge your result. Undead of unknown origin, before I find out the cause of your death and the specific circumstances of your life, you will temporarily stay in the second prison. Don't be foolish enough to try to leave, or Doro will treat you as its food."

"Second Prison?" I sighed, want to send me to a place farther away.

"Go out from here, and you will go directly to the second prison." He pointed to one of the small doors and said.

I shook my head helplessly, and pushed open the small dark red door.

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a strong stench, and I couldn't help frowning. With a thunderous roar, an ugly three-headed monster appeared in front of me. Its three heads are like a lion, a wolf and a dog. It has a tail like a snake, and its long unkempt hair is like a swimming poisonous snake. There is still sticky saliva dripping from its mouth. At this time, it is watching with greedy eyes. with me.

"As long as you don't go out, Doro will not treat you as food." Kaina's voice became farther and farther away, and when I looked back, the door was tightly closed. My heart suddenly jumped violently. It was the first time I saw such a terrifying animal, but if I didn't subdue it, I couldn't move on. However, under the powerful enchantment of Pluto, no magic can be used. what to do?

Doro looked straight at me, and suddenly moved in my direction.

"Hey, I don't want to run away, you better not look at me with eyes that want to eat me, I'm thin and dry, I can't even bite." I took a step back vigilantly, I I don't want to call Si Yin to save me so soon, I don't believe that I won't be able to pass the second prison.

"Seeing how boring you are, why don't I sing a song for you," I chatted with it while paying attention to everything around me. Only then did I see that there are huge iron cages all around here, and there are many undead locked in the cages, there are men and women, old and young, all with expressionless faces. And on the right side of the room, there is also a door of the same color. If I guess correctly, that door may be the exit to the third prison.

"Are you taking care of these undead?" I asked casually.

It let out a growl as if it understood it, and then suddenly swung the snake's tail towards me.

Ah, what a stinky monster...

"Okay, I'll just sing it to you." I took two steps back, for fear that its big tail would hit me. I was in a hurry and couldn't think of any songs, so I picked a simple English song from my memory - "Edelweiss".

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Every morning you greet me

Smalland white

Clean and bright

Youlookhappytomeetme

Blossom of snow

Mayyoubloomandgrow

Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Bless my homeland forever

…

As I sang, I secretly looked at the monster Doro. The greedy light in its eyes gradually receded, replaced by a kind of confusion. For some reason, I felt as if it was looking at me too. I suddenly felt a little funny, and couldn't help smiling at it. It let out a low growl, drooling from the sides of its mouth, and suddenly rushed towards me. Before I could react, it actually used its three heads to rub against me. I let out a scream, and quickly blocked its heads with my hands. Thick saliva flowed onto my hands. I was shocked, it didn't want to swallow me in one gulp.

It whimpered softly, looked at me excitedly, just rubbed against my body, wagged its snake tail, and didn't make any other scary movements. I looked at it wondering why it behaved like a dog seeing its owner. Could it be that my singing voice is so charming?

But no matter what, the current situation is in my favor.

It was busy for a while, and seemed to be tired, so it curled up beside me and closed its eyes.

I boldly touched its head, it moved slightly, and then snored like thunder. It fell asleep just like that, such a good opportunity, if it doesn't slip away now, when will it be?

I stood up quietly, and retreated step by step to the door leading to the third prison. Just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly heard the surrounding silence. My breathing seemed to stop suddenly, and the snoring——stopped .

I seemed to only hear my own heartbeat, and turned around slowly. Sure enough, Doro opened his eyes and looked at me.

I just felt weak all over, but my hand was still pressing on the door tightly.

Is it the summoner or...

Surprisingly, it quickly closed its eyes again, and the sound of sound sleep sounded again quickly.

I breathed a sigh of relief, my hands were covered in cold sweat, and it seemed to have fallen asleep again.

It's just that its eyes are really strange. Also, just now, it clearly saw that I wanted to slip away, but why... I didn't have time to think about it, and directly opened the door of the third prison.
