Chapter 604 Crossing the Gates of Death
"no! ”

Shade is totally unacceptable , Under the cold and biting black wind, in the repeated Whisper and murmur of the countless dead, he approached the two towering gray stone gates. At this time, the traces of golden embers on his body really pulled behind him like a flame. The power he felt was even stronger than the gods in the form of saints.

"What the hell is death itself?"

Standing in front of the door, stepping on the last footprints of Augustus priest, looking up in the dark towards the full picture of the stone gate. All the clues end here, the priest, has crossed this door and went to another world.

He stood there, thinking about everything. He suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the stone gate in front of him. The icy and biting feeling gave him the illusion of falling into the abyss. Shade himself felt what was behind the door without "she" giving any hints.

Behind the door is "the end".

"Will it end here? Acknowledging that Augustus Priest wasn't lying, he was really dead, and turned away"

Shade asked himself, then looked towards wrist on the burning fiery-red thread.

"Across life and death, I've come here, just turn around like this?"

He looked up again towards the huge stone gate, his eyes fixed on the "gate", Blood continued to seep out from the corner of the eye, and the level of the relics that divided the death's door would never be lower than the level of the sage (Level 2).

"Are you willing?"

Shade asked himself, the soul cold and stiff because of the nearness of death. All things have an end, and behind this door, there is an end.

[Then what are you doing, stranger? ]

Even at this time, she was still able to chuckle.

"Excuse me, if I go through that door too, can I turn back?"

He asked softly among the countless dead Whispers, not in the heart . The golden light on his body shines on the door in front of him, but it can only form a shadowy light and shadow.

【Everyone is mortal, but you want to turn back? ]

She whispered in his ear, the ancient language is so wonderful.

[But there is a drop of divinity in your soul, can you really be considered a mortal if you have been washed by two drops of divinity in the Soul Scripture? ]

He felt the wind in his ears, and Shade wasn't sure if it was "she" or the wind of death.

"So, when I step through this door, I can turn back?"

[You can't be sure of this until you've stepped to the other side. ]

"Really?"

Shade put a little force on the right hand on the door, the stone gate was completely motionless, it seemed he needed more force.

[But I can guarantee that you can come back. ]

"Because of that drop of divinity?"

For God, it is a simple matter to cross life and death.

Shade shook his head, walked from the giant stone gate on the right to the center of the two gates, and let the wind blowing from the cracks, representing the end of all things, blow directly on his body.

The body became cold and stiff, and the physical strength and spirit, which were slowly recovering, completely fell silent. The wind contained the original intention of death, and he was getting closer and closer to [Death] spirit rune.

If he could get a spirit rune in such a place, he couldn't imagine how powerful it would be.

Reach out with both hands, hold a door with each hand, then bend down slightly, use your waist to sink your shoes into the mud on the ground:

“Ah~”

p>

All power is eager to push the door open, but the door is completely motionless.

[No, because I am with you. ]

She was chuckling, as if praising herself.

Shade felt like he was being hugged, and this time it wasn't a hallucination because he actually saw a pair of silver's transparent arms around his neck.

"Help me."

He said softly, a voice that only he could hear in the empty darkness.

[Remember what to say? ]

She was still smiling.

"You are me."

The whistle blared, and the bell rang far and wide. In the scorching steam mist, a brass life ring covered with fine golden marks appeared behind Shade. The wind of black passed Shade's side and blew on the life ring, leaving one after another scratches on the life ring. The ring of life seemed to shatter, but as the rust-like coating flakes off around the scratches, the golden's light traces flicker beneath the brass.

It's a pity that Shade didn't look back, so he didn't see this scene.

【.I am you. ]

The silver arms overlapped Shade's, but were separated again at the palm. Two pairs of palms pressed on the cold and huge stone gate at the same time, with the ten spirit runes on the life ring behind Shade emitting a dazzling aura at the same time, as the golden light marks on his body representing divinity became brighter and brighter. , as the silver moonlight grew brighter in his eyes—

Squeak! Ah!

Shade's foot took a step forward, and the door was pushed open.

The dazzling white radiance shot to Shade's eyes from the crack of the door that was pushed open. As his eyes turned white, the sound of the tide was vaguely heard in his ears.

Leaving all the items on the body in front of the door to prevent them from being affected, Shade walked towards the white light.

The door slammed shut behind him.

[Outlander, you have entered death. ]

[Outlander, you have a better understanding of "death" and "sleeping". ]

As for what death is, the foreigners who have probably died once before coming to this world do not know. He thought that the opposite world would be a void of darkness, or some strange and bizarre sight, but when the white light in front of him disappeared, he actually found himself standing on the shore, facing the endless water in front of him.

The sky is black, and it is extraordinarily low. Behind it is a stone wall that can't see the left and right ends. The stone wall is inlaid with the two huge stone gates. Only in front of the stone gate there is a piece that can stand. shoal.

I can clearly hear the sound of the tide, but the water under the low black sky is extraordinarily calm.

Looking up to see a huge silver moon standing far from the horizon, but only half above the water. The other half sank beneath the black's surface and was invisible. The silver moonlight is so quiet, so strange, and even has a maddening sense of holiness.

The silver moon looks large, but it seems to be far away from the endless black water, and the moonlight makes the calm water appear sparkling.

The water surface is not empty, there are shadows, countless white shadows, with their backs to Shade, standing on the calm and boundless water, as if they are moving into the distance. The moonlight illuminated them, but they could not see their physical features, and could not tell how far or near they were.

Shade knows that this is the soul. On this boundless water, the deceased soul is heading towards the half-submerged moon, continuing to walk.

"Pluto Moon?"

The surroundings were so cold that Shade even felt that he had lost the ability to sense temperature.

He lowered his head and looked towards his hand, the golden rays of light in the cracks were still so dazzling in the dark. Raising his hand to face the maddening silver moon, the moonlight shines on his face from between his fingers. His hand did not become transparent, it was still a colored entity. But he can feel the rejection of himself here, and can feel the power that once he falls asleep again, it is absolutely impossible to open his eyes again.

"Is this the world after death?"

He couldn't describe it in any words, he just felt exhausted.

"Can you laugh?"

So he asked in his heart, and the familiar voice laughed lightly:
[Strange request. ]

The ancient language and the light laughter made Shade's quickly exhausted spirit feel better, and at this time, a voice came from behind:

"This is not the real death. , death is a concept, not a world. Here, it is just people's cognition of death, and the area closest to death manifested. Of course, it can also be considered as death, and the difference is not big. But the real The wall of eternal sleep and the unbeliever is at the end of the water, and man comes from the mother's amniotic fluid, and so eventually returns to the water, and that's why you see all this."

Shade turned to look, wearing The old man in the priest's robe had his feet off the ground, embedded between the two huge stone gates behind him.

It is Augustus priest, and behind him grows a pair of broken white feathered wings that reveal the skeleton and flesh. Most of the white feathers have been scorched, which looks particularly terrifying.

The old man leaned against the crack of the closed stone gate. The back half of the body seemed to be completely integrated with the two stone gates, and the pair of wings were almost completely integrated into the stone gate.

His feet were about half a person's height off the ground, and two wings spread from behind him to the entire stone gate like tree roots sprouting. The huge charred wings and skeleton blend perfectly with the death scene of the stone gate itself, as if the gate was meant to be.

Shade's turn allowed Augustus priest to see his face. The outlander turned his back to the huge silver moon behind him, and the old priest stared wide-eyed in astonishment:
"Hello, Shade. Huh? Shade?"

The tired old man had a few seconds, Can only make strange voices in his throat, and even can't speak because he is too surprised:
"Shade? What happened? You died too?"

"Actually, I am more curious that just now I How did you push the door open?"

Shade mouth showing a smile, whispered, and looked up towards Augustus priest on the door:

"I'm not dead , Dr. Schneider and the others entrusted me to come to you. It's not easy, you can't imagine how hard I work."

In addition to being a little tired, the old man was in the same place as the last time he was in Torbes. There is not much difference between the train stations, and even the clothes are the same, and Augustus priest seems to always like to wear this priest robe.

"What are you doing, aren't you curious about the wings behind me?"

The priest seemed to want to scold him, but in the end he just asked tiredly, the voices of the two There is almost no sound in this death, but it can be heard clearly.

"Aren't you curious about this strange skin look on me?"

Shade asked, adjusting to the world too, he didn't even open his mouth, but The voice came directly to the prince's ear.

The two looked at each other, behind Priest was the stone wall writing the picture of death, and behind Shade was the half-submerged silver moon and countless souls.

These questions are actually unnecessary to ask.
