Chapter 333: The road ahead is not easy

Chapter 333: Turning Back Is Difficult (Part )

[Name: No Return (Dead, Soul)]

[Appearance: A road paved with yellowish-white bone bricks, starting from the entrance of the Death Realm, passing through dozens of famous attractions in the Death Realm, such as the "Gate of the Dead", "Crow's Nest of Death", "Black and White Bridge", "Yellow Spring River", "Funeral Corridor", "Funeral Clothes Mirror Lake", "Corpse Black Forest", "White Bone Palace", "Wise Cemetery", "Regret City", "Ghost Swamp", etc., and extending all the way to the deepest "Cliff of the End"]

[Ability: Body dissolves, soul cleanses]

[Price: Cannot be used by the living. If killed completely, or the infection value is less than 60 points at the time of death, the user will automatically become a person of no return.]

[Archives: This ancient road, which has existed for almost the same time as the Death Realm, was built by the "First Dead", the ruler of the Death Realm, after his death. He ground up the bones of his corpse, used the fire of his soul to forge them into bricks, and then paved them one by one with his own hands.

When the newly dead walk on it, as they go deeper and deeper into the realm of the dead, everything that is left over from their life will gradually fade away.

Take off clothes and skin, disperse flesh and blood, wear away bones and internal organs, cleanse will and memory, become the purest soul again, and finally jump off the "Cliff of the End" and return to the world completely.

Among the users of the Road of No Return, those who are unwilling to believe that they are dead will enter the [Corridor of the Funeral] and wander around, constantly reviewing their own deaths in this maze with no exit, and even witnessing the world after their death, until they are willing to die.
As for the deceased who are obsessed with their identities and appearances, unable to take off the clothes formed by their souls and forget their identities and appearances in life, they will be left by the [Funeral Clothes Mirror Lake], looking at their own reflections in the lake until they give up maintaining all false appearances;

Those who are obsessed with the worship of power, or still have a greed for flesh and blood, and insist on keeping their flesh and blood, will be taken to the [Black Forest of Corpses] and walk through it...]

[Comment: Don't touch it, this is not something you should touch right now]

[Infection value: The same as the user, giving each deceased person an equal end]

……

Sage Cemetery...Funeral Mirror Lake...

Isn’t this the cemetery where three generations of directors are buried, and the big lake where Senior Emma has been staying?

After recalling the original scene, Leon couldn't help but frowned slightly.

According to the introduction given by the system, the surface of the [Funeral Mirror Lake] can reflect the faces of the deceased "before they were alive", and Emma's ancestors had all died, so she inherited the lives of her people.

So, when she looked at the lake, was she seeing her own face, or the original owner of those crows?
"Feel sorry."

After vaguely understanding why Senior Emma was so willing to stay by the lake, Leon slowly withdrew his hand that was touching the bone brick, shook his head at her with a nervous face, and showed a slightly apologetic expression.

"Senior Emma, ​​the information given by my ability is more inclined towards the 'user', and this path can only be used by the dead. I haven't found a way to prevent the living from being affected. I'm sorry."

"That's it..."

After hearing what Leon said, Emma's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still shook her head and said gently:

"You don't have to apologize to me. Facing something of the level of the Point of No Return, it's normal to have no solution. Instead, I should apologize to you. I shouldn't have let you come into contact with such a dangerous thing for...some reasons."

“It’s okay.” After recalling the lonely figure by the lake, Leon shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then he took the initiative to speak sincerely:

"You saved my sister's life, gave me weapons when I first joined the bureau, told me what to pay attention to when performing tasks, taught me how to protect myself, and even protected me at the cost of dying with the goddess of wealth.

Senior Emma, ​​I will not say thank you any more. If there is anything I can do to help you, I hope you can tell me. As long as it is possible, I will do my best to do it. "

"I...I do have something I want to ask you."

After looking at Leon gratefully, Emma, ​​whose face was still a little pale, took a deep breath, then took his hand and bit her lip and said:
“Leon, I…I have too many regrets, and this road is too difficult for me to walk, so if possible, I hope you can lead me through it.

When we reach the Black and White Bridge, if we continue forward, we will reach the point of no return. If I suddenly stop or want to turn back, you must wake me up!"

"Ah."

After listening to Emma's request for help, Leon nodded slightly, held her somewhat cold hand, clenched it tightly, and then promised seriously:

"I certainly will!"

"Thanks……"

After reaching an agreement, the two men, who had stopped not far from the red-haired director, held hands and walked again towards the magnificent bridge made of black and white bricks that spanned the turbid yellow river in the distance.

On the wide and winding road of no return, one newly dead after another, accompanied by the crows of death, walked forward wailing, at a loss, or with confusion in their eyes, stumbling towards the depths of the dead.

Compared to these erratic souls, whose bodies and wills are sometimes imperfect, the two Lyons who are the only two with living bodies who can "go against the flow" on this road should be the more "heavy" party.

But when he failed to dodge and collided head-on with a hunched old man, and after they passed through each other, Lyon was surprised to find that he seemed to have turned into a pool of water or even a piece of air, and there seemed to be something extremely solid that had passed through his body unstoppably.

"Don't worry, this is the rule of the dead world. In the dead world, the soul is above all else, and the body does not exist."

After carefully avoiding the young man who was running towards her with an angry look on his face and covered in wounds from sharp weapons, Senior Emma seemed to notice the confusion on Leon's face and began to explain:

"The rules of the world are above all else, so when traveling through different worlds, our souls and bodies, or our 'existence' itself, must actively adapt to the rules of the current world.

Just as the descending Holy Spirit and the true God will condense into flesh and blood and breathe and eat, the living who enter the world of the dead with their flesh will also follow the rules of the world of the dead, and their own existence will undergo corresponding changes according to the world. "

As she spoke, she squatted down slightly, stopped in front of a little girl who was walking towards her crying, and gave her a gentle hug.

However, this young deceased person passed through Senior Emma's body as if passing through a gust of wind and continued to walk into the depths of the dead world.
