Chapter 3: Stowaways
After the god of death said something, the three of them fell into deep thought.
All their investigations so far are based on the premise that Jiang Qi was murdered or was mentally controlled. But if it is really a suicide from beginning to end as the God of Death said, then even if they finally find a way to go to the world of the dead, it would probably be useless.
"Although I don't know much about your human emotions, if this is Jiang Qi's own wish, you should let it go."
Reversing life and death will inevitably lead to corresponding consequences. She witnessed countless tragedies caused by being unable to let go in the world of the dead. Because of the momentary obsession, the Fernando family, which has caused the family to be cursed for generations, is the best example.
Life and death are separated, and this has been the case since ancient times. Breaking the rules will never bring any benefits.
"Wang Lu, and Bai Miao, the changes in your body have begun. Sooner or later, you will notice them."
These two are both fish that escaped death. However, compared with Jiang Qi, their souls did not leave the body for a long time, so the speed of change would be relatively slow. Jiang Qi was different. From the perspective of time, Jiang Qi had been dead for several days. "Even if you put her soul back into your body now, she would not be able to return to her human identity."
Wang Lu asked uncertainly, "What do you mean...she has become the god of death like you?"
After all, Jiang Qi in the past would never take away a person's soul expressionlessly. Although he saw Jiang Qi's face under the mask at that time, he felt that he was facing a stranger.
"How is it so easy? No matter what, I've been fighting all the way."
Death said.
She no longer remembers how long she had been in the world of the dead, and she couldn't even remember her original identity.
In the world of the dead, the only way to become stronger is to devour other spirits. From beasts to monsters, to other people's souls, her body has accommodated countless memory fragments. These memory fragments have merged into a part of her body and made her any of them.
Therefore, she dared to promise that if Jiang Qi really became the God of Death who could control a region one day, she would have been unable to remember the name Jiang Qi long ago.
"But your words just now confirm my guess. Jiang Qi really has a close relationship with the senior management."
On the evening of the night when Gu Yun strangled his throat, Jiang Qi was the one who the boss called for.
If Jiang Qi had made enemies with others in the world of the Dead, then the top management would have let her eat Jiang Qi's soul directly, instead of taking her to the world of the Dead.
Spirits will also die.
After the soul is scattered or swallowed by other spirits, there is no place to go, but it completely disappears between heaven and earth.
"If Jiang Qi can really open the "door" to the world of the dead, it means that she has eaten a lot of good things shortly after she arrived at the world of the dead. Although it may not be very good for you to say it, her life there should be much more nourishing than being around you."
No longer a weak and helpless human being who can only ask for help everywhere when encountering supernatural events, but a trainee god of death who can control his own destiny.
With Jiang Qi's speed, it will probably not take long to be on par with her.
"Oh, there are rich second generations everywhere in this world. How hateful!"
Death was filled with emotion. When she first went to the world of the dead, no one could protect her.
"Wait a minute, do you mean that Jiang Qi's family hopes she dies?"
The more An Ling heard it, the more she felt something was wrong. Not everyone should hope that their children would get better as long as possible? Moreover, Jiang Qi is no longer a child. Even if her family really wants to take her to the world of the dead, why did she choose to be successful and famous?
It is unimaginable that she needs to work to become a big star of Jiang Qi. Wouldn’t she just endure hardships in her life and die young before she could enjoy her happiness?
"This is not difficult to understand, because when a person dies for the first time, he will become a spirit and wander between heaven and earth, and some of them will go to the world of the dead under our guidance; and when he dies for the second time, his energy is exhausted or consumed by other spirits. This is similar to what you said, the soul is scattered, and even the last bit of mark disappears."
The reason why the senior management was anxious to take Jiang Qi to the world of the dead was that she had guessed some of the recent mistakes. The god of death looked at Gu Yun and asked, "Do you still remember the presumptive number of people I mentioned to you before?"
13,672 people.
As the subsequent events developed, she gradually realized the meaning behind this number.
Those who can cause casualties of this scale are neither superior-level evil spirits nor some big monster that suddenly appears.
"In a short time, natural disasters will come to this city."
Death said in a confident tone that although the methods of natural disasters over the years seem much more "generative" than before, they will never allow themselves to fail one after another.
Only natural disasters can cause more than 10,000 deaths in an instant before everyone can react.
"And according to the rumors that the dead world has spread widely about natural disasters, no soul will remain if a person dies at the hands of natural disasters."
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that natural disasters cannibalize people, but natural disasters swallow not the human body, but the soul.
"I advise you to be prepared as soon as possible. This natural disaster is different from the last time you encountered the first time you started. It is a monster who can completely control his own strength."
Out of protection for Jiang Qi, it is reasonable that the Death God thought that the senior management would try to pick up the other party before the natural disaster came. After all, if Jiang Qi's soul was really eaten by the natural disaster, everything would be too difficult to turn the world back.
"No, this is your personal guess. I decided to ask Jiang Qi personally."
Gu Yun wrapped his hands around his chest and did not give in.
The elders have always taught him that things must be done with a beginning and an end. He decided to investigate Jiang Qi's affairs clearly, and he would naturally solve the natural disasters himself.
Even if it was Jiang Qi's own decision, he would ask in person.
"Oh, I know."
The god of death sighed - this Gu Yun was more stubborn than imagined. His friends seemed to have been moved, but this guy never even had the idea of compromise from beginning to end.
But that's good, at least it made her believe that Gu Yun is a cruel character who will not blink even if the natural disaster stands in front of him.
"You set a seat for me and I'll go and ask her clearly."
"Slow down, don't cause trouble for me!"
Seeing Gu Yun rolled up his sleeves with his signature signs, and posed as if he was preparing to make a big fuss in the Palace of the Patriarchs, the Death God immediately put the door away.
Although she did not think that Gu Yun's soul was stripped from his body when he passed through the door like ordinary people, each Death's door had a unique mark. If Lord Pluto and the senior management knew that she had put this troublemaker in, her career could be completely over.
In fact, the last time the senior management had already complained about Jiang Qi's soul before taking her to the world of the dead.
"I helped you so many times, do you want to kill me?"
When the God of Death shouted, Gu Yun felt a little embarrassed.
Although he was determined to ask Jiang Qi clearly, he did not want to cause trouble to the god of death and to bring friends to injustice, which was contrary to his usual style.
"Or... please tell me if there are other gods of death nearby, and I'll talk to him?"
If it were the God of Death who had never helped him, Gu Yun would have a much smaller psychological burden.
"You are going to make me betray my colleague!"
"right."
"I admitted without hesitation!"
This time it was not only the God of Death, but even Wang Lu and An Ling were shocked.
No, even if you really want to let Death betray her colleague, at least it will be more tactful. Don’t admit it so righteously!
"In fact, there are still ways to allow the living to smuggle into the world of the dead."
The God of Death thought about it carefully and felt that it was not reliable to sell her colleague to Gu Yun. After all, Gu Yun knew her, a working God of Death, but after a casual investigation, he found her directly.
However, the smuggling is different.
Gu Yun could claim that he was eating hot pot and singing on the boat, but suddenly he entered the world of the dead.
"Have you heard of the legends in the Devil's Sea?"
Death was a little guilty. Although she was the only native of the dead, she could not help but lower her voice, "Or the legend of the ghost ship?"
"certainly."
An Ling nodded hurriedly. In fact, the popular urban legends she studied some time ago also included legends from the Devil's Sea.
The ship that had disappeared in the storm and fog for more than ten years appeared strangely in a nearby port more than ten years later. The objects on the ship were intact and the food was not even rotten. However, the sailors on the ship disappeared without a trace.
However, the devil's sea is 100,800 miles away from them, and there is no condition to verify it. I can only use it as a fun and just take a look.
"That's easy."
The god of death's eyes lit up and said, "In principle, the sea of devil is actually the junction between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Therefore, ships from the world of the living are often involved in the world of the dead, and sea monsters in the world of the dead will swim over."
Since An Ling had heard of the legend of the Devil's Sea, she had saved the time to introduce the missing ship in detail. "Only at the junction of the two worlds can the living enter the world of the dead without being stripped of the soul."
In fact, the sailors who accidentally entered the world of the dead are alive.
Of course, not long after a mistake, they will most likely die.
"But the reason why it is called smuggling is because this method has a little bit of a small risk."
"But it's okay."
"Actually, the Devil's Sea is connected to the most dangerous area in the world of the Dead. There seem to be countless unimaginable terrifying necromancers, even for us, a forbidden zone."
Wang Lu and An Ling said in unison, "This is not a small risk at all!"
"What's your attitude!"
Death raised his tone dissatisfiedly, "It is obvious that the Shanghai monsters are the real party to take risks in this matter!"
Any sea monster could have imagined that an ordinary ship that accidentally entered the world of the dead would actually be riding a ruthless character like Gu Yun!
