Chapter 203 Chapter 147 The real end of the other side
The portal that connects the boundary between life and death and leads to the other side looks like a mirror.
But Puis saw a familiar scene in it.
A reversed scene of black and red, with blood, flesh and mud flying everywhere.
There was depressing silence everywhere, exactly the same world he saw ten years ago.
Stuart and Atash were both sitting next to the portal. There were all kinds of exquisite snacks on the tea table, but unfortunately no one was eating them.
Atash originally wanted His Highness Stuart to go back and rest, saying that he could always come back the next day, but he insisted on watching it in person.
So Atash had no way to go back to rest and could only wait here.
Prince Guts was forced to stay at the other side for another ten years, so his temper must have been very bad. Although Atash was an old friend of his, he did not dare to think about what kind of personality Guts would have ten years later.
After all, at the end of the other side, anything can happen, and if you stay there for too long, you will become a living dead.
"Let's go."
Atash glanced at the people kneeling on one knee in front of him. They were all carefully selected assassins for this operation. They were powerful enough, but they also had leverage over their families, so there was no need to worry about rebellion.
This time, if Gus can't come out, then they don't have to come out either.
There were five of them in total. They lowered their heads, responded in unison, and walked towards the portal.
They went in one by one.
Just as Liuhua Chenghai said, the bodies of these people were blocked outside the portal, and their souls walked in.
The five bodies were lifted up by other waiters and placed neatly aside.
There is no way for the other side to be directly connected to reality, and the only information they get is through the souls that enter on this day.
"Sir, what if Prince Gus fails to be resurrected?"
Stuart didn't know what he was thinking about when he suddenly asked such a question.
Atash had not expected that Stuart would still hesitate at this point. He was somewhat unhappy in his heart, but his expression did not change at all.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been arranged. If you succeed, you will be the one and only child in His Majesty Brick's heart. If you fail, it's just that I am useless. You have good intentions."
In fact, Atash has also made up his mind that if Prince Gus cannot be resurrected this time, then the matter will be dropped.
Even if Gus is angry, he is dead. How can a dead person threaten a living person?
Besides, in another ten years, who knows whether Guts will become a living dead? Who knows what will happen in the future?
He missed both chances. That was his own fault. How could he blame himself and Stuart?
As for the 'ideal' that Guts wants to achieve...
Atash chuckled.
Guts is not the only one who wants to become a god.
Someone will do it for him.
Atash kept looking at the mirror-like portal. After an unknown amount of time, he coughed twice.
"Your Highness, it's time to get some action."
Stuart then put aside the noise in his heart and waved his hand. Immediately someone came up and injected them with some kind of drug. After just a few minutes, the heaving of his chest became silent.
Regardless of whether Guts can be resurrected or not, they can never return to this world.
It was just a decision that the superior had to make, and Stuart had no sympathy in his heart.
Besides, he has already arranged for his family...
Sooner or later they will be reunited at the other side.
——
Pomo and Puis are now in soul form, with only a small amount of supernatural power leaking out, which is almost impossible for non-reconnaissance-type supernatural users to detect. Moreover, even if they detect it, there is nothing they can do, as ordinary supernatural attacks cannot cause damage to souls.
After the five members of the suicide squad entered, the two did not rush in, but watched Atash and Stuart talk.
When they saw the unmanned person who went to the other side to look for Guts, he ended up like this.
Both of them had ugly expressions. They didn't expect Stuart and Atash to be so cruel.
Guts's resurrection was not sufficient in the end. Was he afraid that a few people would reveal the secret of the end of the other side?
All in all, Pomer and Puys both found this unacceptable.
But as souls, they couldn't stop Stuart, and they had more important things to do.
If you meet these people at the end of the other side, perhaps this will be a very effective "basis for negotiation".
"Let's go, Es."
Pomo loosened his clenched fists and stopped looking at the five dead people.
Puis nodded, "Let's go."
They stopped watching what was happening in this room and passed through the portal to the end of the other side.
For Pomo, everything related to the end of the other side was learned from other people.
Puis described that world in detail, and described in detail his encounter with Alan.
But no matter how rich the language or how detailed the description, it is still poor compared to the world itself.
Now, Pomo finally came to this world in person, to the other side that is full of death but also gives hope to countless people.
At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into the young man's mind.
Why does this world, which gives people the hope of resurrection after death, exist?
All the shocks Puis had experienced had been experienced ten years ago, so he was only stunned for a short while.
The world was exactly the same as he remembered it, without any change.
"Amo...Amo?"
After shouting several times, Pomo finally came to his senses, but Puisi thought it was normal.
"What are you thinking about, Mo?"
There is nothing to hide, and Pomo doesn't mind opening up to his good friend.
“I wonder why this world exists.”
Some strange questions.
"Existence itself is reasonable."
"No... That's not what I meant. I meant, what would this world be like after death, and why would people be allowed to be resurrected at the end of the other side?"
If this world existed only for the dead, Pomer would not think about such a question.
If you think about it carefully, this is really incredible. It is as if some omnipotent existence set up such a rule, allowing millions of dead people to compete for such an opportunity.
Puis had never thought about this before. He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt terrified when he thought about it carefully.
Yes, such a hope, such an opportunity, seems to have been left there intentionally by someone.
Everything has a price, so what is the price of resurrection?
Is there no price, or...
Has anyone already paid?
Fortunately, Pomo controlled himself and didn't continue to dwell on the issue.
"Never mind, we need to find Ni Lan first!"
Bomo took out the pocket watch that he had treasured since he got it from his pocket. This was Ni Lan's supernatural item, and it was the one that could best sense the location of its owner.
The pocket watch had long since become a dead object that could not move because it had lost the supply of supernatural power. However, as Pomo slowly input supernatural power into it, the pocket watch seemed to come alive. The hands clicked again and again and tried to move.
The supernatural power continued to flow in, like a stream of fresh mountain spring water pouring into a dry farmland. Even the glass on the dial and the metal next to it began to shine beautifully.
The hands finally started to move, spinning madly as if to count the entire ten years.
Pomo could also feel that his special powers were being consumed at a rapid rate, but he had no intention of giving up and allowed the watch to mobilize his special powers.
It felt as if Ni Lan was still by their side, fighting alongside them.
"Help us find your owner, pocket watch." Pomo whispered softly, holding it devoutly.
As long as Ni Lan is in this world, he is in this world.
Probably consuming two-thirds of Pomo's special abilities, the pocket watch seemed to finally understand Pomo's wishes. Along the center of the dial, a golden light that looked like a thread and smoke went all the way north.
Without further ado, Pomo and Puisi followed the golden light and ran forward.
Even for Puis, it was the first time for him to observe the world carefully.
Ten years ago, with Ni Lan leading the way and time being tight, he simply had no time to take a closer look.
They didn't meet anyone along the way, which made both of them a little confused.
Is this world too big? Or are people hiding?
After all, the other side accepts all the dead people. The number of people who have died from ancient times to the present is at least hundreds of billions. It is impossible that not a single person will be encountered.
It was a bit strange, but the two of them did not stop and continued to move in the direction where Ni Lan was.
After crossing this space filled with only blood, flesh, and the smell of blood, which can only remind people of hell and death, and after crossing over something like a boundary, a whole new world unfolds before the eyes of the two.
This place seemed to be more suitable for human habitation. Although the sky was scarlet, there was soft grass on the ground and trees not far away.
Except for the sky, this place seems to be no different from the world of the living.
"Ez... have you been here before?"
"No... I left that place and saw a world with gravity turned upside down."
Puis suddenly realized that there might be many completely different spaces in this world, and the space before him was obviously more suitable for living than the previous place.
No wonder the light from the pocket watch showed Ni Lan in this direction.
The two of them still did not let their guard down, and Puis's special ability was fading rapidly. He deployed the most stringent barrier to ensure that no one would notice or discover them.
Going further, you can see some people, but it seems a bit strange to call them human...
Groups of two or three people, both men and women, with dull eyes and expressionless faces, walked aimlessly on the grassland. Although they looked like humans, their behavior was somewhat like that of mindless zombies.
This also confused the two.
Pomo frowned and looked at Puyis to ask for his opinion whether he should go up and ask something.
Puis pointed at the person at the end. These people were all ordinary people without any special abilities. As long as the domain was covered, the people in front would not be able to find them even if they looked back.
