Chapter 225 Entering the Underworld
Lei looked around with surprise. It was all grey here. Not far ahead was a river with unclear flow. Where he was standing there was a plant that had no leaves but had flowers as bright red as fire.
There was no one familiar around me, only a gray shadow passing by me from time to time.
Occasionally, a person with a numb expression appears. Let’s just call him a person for now?
When he first saw it, he called out to the other person, but the other person did not respond to his call at all.
I encountered it several times later, and once the other party even passed through me directly?!
This strange phenomenon made Lei a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, a white figure flashed by in the distance. Was that a person? !
Lei was sure that it was a person! The feeling he gave was different from those 'people' he had seen before, because this person's figure was very solid, and was fundamentally different from those he had met before. He knew it!
Lei called out to the figure.
"Hey, hello—"
But that figure sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, and each time it appeared in a different place. During the time when I was shouting, the other party changed its location several times, sometimes appearing on the other side of the river, sometimes appearing on this side, and sometimes appearing on the surface of the river?
On the river?!
Lei was shocked again! Is this really the kingdom of God?
As I was thinking this,
"Wow--" Lei was frightened when he saw the minotaur that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The minotaur came closer to this strange man and smelled it, something seemed wrong?
"You? You are, what?" Lei spoke in English. The other party said something, but he didn't understand.
Then Lei communicated with the other party for a few more sentences. The other party seemed to understand what he said, but he couldn't understand what the other party was saying!
"Can I ask who the woman in white clothes I saw just now is?" Lei finally gave up and started talking to himself. He thought that maybe the person just now could understand what he said.
Just as he was thinking this, the Minotaur seemed to have unlocked some seal, and he found that he could understand what the other party was saying!
"That's Meng."
"Meng?"
"Yes, from your description, it must be Meng. But her whereabouts are very erratic. How could you actually see her, uh, Meng?!" The Minotaur looked at the person who appeared in front of him and shouted.
"Hmm? A foreign dead soul? No, you don't have the breath of a dead soul."
An ethereal voice sounded in his ears, Lei quickly looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was Meng, whom they had just talked about!
Meng didn't know how many years he had existed in the underworld, and he was a little curious about the current situation. Not to mention the other party's appearance, it was obvious at first glance that he was not a ghost under his jurisdiction.
She acted according to her own preferences and stayed in this boring place for an unknown period of time. Whenever she saw something unusual, she would take a look.
Moreover, although the aura emanating from the other party was very weak, it was still slightly different from the aura of a dead soul. This slight difference indicated that the other party should still be a living soul. To put it simply, it meant that the other party's life span had not yet ended.
Then how come he is here?
Lei was also confused at this moment. Although what he had seen and heard during this period of time made him know that there were indeed gods in the world, everything in front of him still made him curious.
It was because the gods he saw now were different from the gods he had seen before. The people here, uh, gods, how should I put it? From the way they dressed, he could tell that they were not the gods he was familiar with. They were more like the ancient people from the East.
And the most amazing thing is, why can I understand what the other person means even though what he says is so strange?
Of course, the minotaur's situation at the beginning should have been an accident.
Take Meng for example. He is a native of E country and has never been exposed to Chinese since childhood. Based on the other party's pronunciation, he could only hear that she was speaking Chinese, but he could not understand what the other party said at all. However, he could actually understand the meaning of the other party's words, which made him very curious.
"There's nothing strange about this, you mortal from another world. The way we communicate is not through language."
"Oh my god, you can read minds?" Lei was shocked. Doesn't that mean the other person knows exactly what he is thinking? Does he still have any privacy?
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to block your voice." Meng said the apology calmly, and he didn't look embarrassed at all.
She is a god from the underworld. Although she is curious about this weak mortal, she cannot empathize with the other person's thoughts. Her words of apology are derived from the traditional etiquette culture of China.
"it's good now."
Lei looked at the other party's extremely perfunctory waving of sleeves with some suspicion, and received a puzzled look in return. Well, it should be that his inner thoughts can't be seen directly. The feeling of being seen through just now made him feel as if he was not wearing any clothes, but now that feeling is gone.
"How did you, a foreigner, enter the underworld?" Even if a foreigner died in China, due to the different belief systems, his soul would return to his original place of belonging after death instead of entering the underworld directly.
"I don't know. In fact, I also want to know the answer to this question." Lei only remembered that he should have fallen ill. For people with terminal illnesses, they may die if they become ill, but wouldn't he go to hell if he died?
