Chapter 993: Guina's Experience 1
The curtain continues: Kuina retracts her Wado Ichimonji and taps the ice on Zoro's body with her fingers.
The solid ice that originally controlled Zoro instantly turned into tiny ice crystals like snowflakes, falling to the ground and turning into a pool of water.
The threat and murderous intent were lifted. Zoro looked at Kuina's extremely familiar face. He put his two swords back into the sheath, with many questions in his mind.
Is Gui Na a human or a ghost? If she is still alive, why has she not appeared for many years, leaving all those close to her in the dark?
Zoro wanted to tell his first master, Shimotsuki Koshiro, the good news that Kuina was alive to make him happy.
According to him, Master's wife died of depression not long after Gu Yina's death, leaving Master alone to live with his old father.
Because Shimotsuki Koshiro lost his two beloved women, he has been single and lonely until now, spending every day in the dojo teaching his apprentices kendo.
"Zoro, I know you have a lot of questions. I can answer them for you today. Let's talk somewhere else first."
Guina's body turned into a black shadow, flickering in the moonlight. Zoro glanced at Miranda's room. No innocent people were hurt, so it should be fine for him to leave for a while.
Zoro followed the black shadow in front, a man and a woman chasing each other in the moonlight, and in a trance the man recalled the past.
When Green Algae Head was a child, he had never been able to beat Gui Na with a real sword. It was also a night and a full moon day. Gui Na showed her vulnerability to an outsider for the first time and opened her heart in front of the boy.
Kuina did continuous parkour jumping on the roof, her movements were very light and almost made no noise. On the other hand, Zoro didn't care about the force and crushed several roof tiles.
This prompted the owner of the house to walk out of the balcony and yell at the couple who were jumping back and forth on the roof: "Pay me money, you bitches, and don't run away. This is my roof!"
Of course, there was no money to compensate, so a man and a woman fled at an accelerated speed, heading towards the royal castle of the Kingdom of Lulucia.
After the chase continued for several minutes, Guina stood on the outer wall of the royal castle, overlooking the luxurious life of Princess Kemani and her family.
The entire Lulucia Kingdom is populated by slaves of the Kemani family. Even though it is almost dawn, there are still many slaves working overtime.
The overseers sent by the slave owners were waving whips, beating the lazy and hungry slaves. If they didn't finish their work today, they would not have any food.
After borrowing money from the king's family, they knew it was usury and could not be repaid. In the end, the whole family had to sell themselves into slavery. In the eyes of the royal family, giving slaves food to eat was already a great favor.
Guina looked at everything in front of her with a calm expression. She changed from standing to sitting and called on Zoro to sit with her on the high wall and have a good talk.
Zoro obediently sat next to Kuina. He finally couldn't help asking, "Kuina, are you really dead? Or have you been pretending to be dead all these years and don't want to see us."
Guina stared into the man's eyes and could see Zoro's extremely anxious expression. The woman had a slight smile on her face. Zoro had not changed after not seeing him for many years. He was still the little boy he was before.
"I did die that night, although it was a hasty death. My soul had crossed the Styx and was led to the underworld, where I eventually became the god of death."
It was arranged from the beginning that Gui Na would be killed by the "Supreme Staircase". After she became the official God of Death, she looked through her entry file and found out all this.
The girl patiently explained to Zoro what the underworld was, how many layers it was made up of, and that the underworld was where most living beings went after death.
After a living being dies, it will receive the call of the Styx and appear on the ship of Charon, the ferryman of the Styx, in the simplest form of a spirit.
If you don't have money to bribe the boatman, Charon will kick you off the boat, and your soul will have to go through the cleansing of the River Styx, re-experiencing your own and others' painful memories.
When Guina died, her eyes were not covered with money, so naturally she had no money to bribe Charon after her death. However, someone had established a good relationship with the boatman in advance, and the money had already been paid on behalf of the girl.
Save Guina from the suffering of being rushed into the Sea of Bitterness, and take the ferry along the River Styx, enter the entrance of the underworld, and come to the kingdom of the dead.
The underworld is larger than any continent, and the space is almost boundless. Guina’s first stop is Rukongai.
Although Rukongai has the word "street" in its name, its area and the number of undead are actually much larger than those of ordinary small countries in the mortal world.
Rukongai is divided into 80 districts in all directions of east, west, south and north. The situation is quite complicated. Where there is peace, there are naturally places of conflict.
Rukongai is where the dead wait in line, and it is where they must stop before entering the cycle of reincarnation. Kuina didn't stay in Rukongai for long, and was specially recruited into the Soul Society.
Seireitei is where the God of Death stays. The God of Death is the manager of power delegated by the will of the underworld, and is a high-level spiritual worker. The advantage is that they do not have to reincarnate for a long time, but the disadvantage is that sooner or later the soul will be polluted and degenerate into a void.
The god of death is in charge of the underworld and has the right to hunt down and detain evil spirits. The undead waiting for reincarnation will degenerate into evil spirits due to the pollution of their own negative emotions.
The god of death will exile these evil spirits to hell, temporarily cleanse the evil thoughts in the evil spirits through the underworld, and send these evil spirits to hell to suffer.
Usually after death, people who have committed heinous crimes will be exiled to hell by the god of death. They may experience the burning of hellfire, torturing their souls and cleansing the sins deep in their souls.
"Those Hollows of Guina all appeared from the cracks in hell. As the manager of the underworld, does the God of Death have no way to deal with anything?"
Zoro followed Kenpachi Zaraki to kill countless people. This group of monsters that were corrupted by evil spirits had completely lost their emotions as living beings and only knew how to do evil.
Guina shook her head and expressed her helplessness. There were too few gods of death, too many undead, and the underworld was too big. The gods of death could not manage it even if they were to expand rapidly.
The only thing they can do is to drive those evil spirits that are about to become void into hell to minimize the impact on the world of wandering souls. Although this is lazy, the God of Death cannot come up with a better solution.
The Grim Reaper and the Hollow are actually two sides of the same coin. Some undead who have been sublimated and strengthened advance to become the Grim Reaper, while some are disturbed by foolish words and negative emotions, and finally degenerate into the Hollow and bring disaster to the Soul Street.
The God of Death was clearing out the Voids in Wandering Soul Street, but he was already short of manpower and could not spare any manpower to deal with the group of large Voids that were raised by Gu in Hell.
Anyway, Huangquan is blocking the way of Hell. If Daxu wants to invade Youhun Street on a large scale, he must break through the shackles of Huangquan. Even the top-level Daxu can't do it, and ordinary Xu will be destroyed as soon as they touch it.
The void can influence the undead to degenerate into void. The god of death will also be contaminated by the void. When the god of death degenerates into void, its strength will be even more terrifying.
Most of those great Hollows are fallen Death Gods, and have the possibility of upward promotion, making them more promising than ordinary Hollows. Therefore, it is very difficult for the incumbent Death Gods to solve the problem from the source.
We can't just kill all the Death Gods first. Without law enforcers, who will manage the Wandering Soul Street?
