What kind of place was Hell?
It was a place that was isolated from the heavens. There was no light, no joy, and eternal pain.
What did it mean to look up at the Gate of Hell?
They would go straight to the City of Misery, and from there, they would accept endless suffering and fall into depravity. They would be immortal forever…
……
……
Feeling the icy cold sensation from behind him, he opened his eyes in a haggard manner. It was as if the surface of the water was shaking. Only then did Xingye realize that he was lying on a floating wooden boat.
She tried her best to get up, but she couldn't do it at all. What followed was a tearing pain. Her entire body seemed to be firmly fixed by needles and stopped abruptly. The pain that entered the valley didn't lessen at all.
He moved his lips, but he could not hear his familiar voice clearly. The voice was like a taboo, and the despair was like a deathly stillness.
Staring up, all she could see was a gloomy darkness. From time to time, she couldn't meet her eyes and focus, leaving only monotonous colors in the void.
The boat was being pulled towards the other end of the endless river. There were no waves on the surface of the water. Even if there was a slight current, it would not be able to make the waves rise.
Following a certain flow of consciousness, it led the lost evil souls to the Abyss of Death.
It led to the other end of the door, to hell with endless sin…
……
In an instant, his memory became blurry, as if it had been erased by something.
He muttered as if he was dreaming.
He looked at everything, but he just faced it calmly, as if he had already known it, as if he was haggard like fate.
After crossing the entrance of hell, the ship slowly came to a stop, but her body was still weak. An iron chain appeared from the horizon and ruthlessly shackled her neck. On the other side of the iron chain was the eternal night.
Tie Lian pulled her up and lifted her up.
She couldn't breathe because of the pull. She wanted to resist but couldn't lift her fingers. Her feet slowly stepped forward as she was pulled. Her whole body was in indescribable pain.
In the blink of an eye, a maze of thorns appeared in front of him.
It was as red as blood.
The iron chain pulled so hard that Starry Night fell to the ground. He struggled to raise his head and looked up at the thorns in front of him. It was the execution ground for sinners. They could enter but could not get out. It was an endless "maze of death."
A force came from behind her and pushed her into the maze, followed by a suppressed scream.
The soles of her feet hurt as if she had stepped on a needle. She could not stand steadily, and her back hit the thorns. She held her breath and did not shed a single tear.
He had no one to rely on and did not even have time to catch his breath.
When she fell into the abyss, her eardrums were already drowned in the wails of the dead.
In the Maze of Death, it was impossible for an ordinary soul to withstand the torture that was even more painful than death. It was a completely different existence.
Her soul was as pure as spring water and as white as snow. It was a delicacy that even the red lotus praised…
The symbol of 'eternal indestruction'.
Even the hellish blood flames couldn't harm her at all. Although it was powerful, it was also terrifying.
Crimson blood flowed down, the same color as her eyes. When she took the first step, her chest felt as if it was being torn apart, but she could not stop. Desperate roars kept ringing in her ears. The world was drowned in a sea of blood that filled the sky, and there was no color to speak of.
After an unknown amount of time, his limbs had long since become numb, moving like a puppet and losing consciousness.
The length was no more than a snap of a finger, and the length was no more than a thousand years…
He wandered around without any spirit. The scenery around him did not change at all. His vision was gradually covered by blood, and his soul was devoured.
Everything returned to silence…
……
Even the last of his strength was taken away. He closed his eyes in exhaustion. He really didn't want to see this unbearable self again, this blood-red world…
The moment he fell, an indescribable voice rang in his ears:
- The girl who inherited the Red Lotus
- Take it! It was not dirty blood, but delicious souls.
- Sweet as food, without it you cannot survive!
- Transforming into power in reality, turning into an abyss in dreams.
- Want to get rid of it? Then give up your life!
……
……
Starry Night knelt on the ground for a long time. His voice drifted away, and his consciousness struggled.
[How can I…die like this?」
His voice stopped abruptly. At this moment of despair, he raised his eyebrows in a daze. A weak light spot suddenly drifted in front of him. He weakly raised his hand and held the light in his palm. His line of sight was occupied.
At that time, she moved her lips, and the words she said were like an oath.
"I will... end all of this myself.」
In the end, the sound and the life vanished together, leaving behind an empty night and a strange silence…
……
……
A strong smell of medicine wafted into his nose. When he looked up tiredly, he saw an unfamiliar white. It turned out that he was lying on a hospital bed in Muye Hospital.
[Are you awake?] When he heard the familiar voice, he closed his eyes indifferently and rested.
Sky Shadow wagged its tail and lay on the ground casually."It's better to rest for a while. Forcing yourself will only worsen your injuries."」
He moved his body and realized that his right hand was wrapped in several layers of gauze. He could not use any strength.
He searched through his memories, but there was no result. His left hand habitually reached out to his chest. The pendant was still intact on his neck, emitting a flame that he could feel without looking.
He narrowed his eyes and asked,"How long have I been asleep?」
[Five days.]
There was a moment of silence.
So this was the price! In this dream, he experienced hell, the illusion that was enough to make one's emotions collapse to death. He was willing to take risks just to survive.
After a long time, she managed to sit up. There was no one else in the ward.
He closed his eyes again. Although he had slept for five days, his face was filled with unimaginable fatigue.
After that incident, Kakashi and the others returned to Muye one night earlier and brought Starry Night to the hospital for observation. However, there were still no signs of him waking up. In the past few days, Sky Shadow had been staying by his master's side.
Its reaction was not as nervous as the others, which allowed Kakashi to confirm the possibility that this incident had happened before.
Tian Ying refused Okami's treatment. In the past, only Starry Night had treated him. His years of loyalty made him unwilling to accept the help of others. He was originally worried that his wounds would worsen, but he did not expect his recovery ability to be so simple. In just a few days, those wounds seemed to not exist.
After listening to Kakashi's account of the events, Tsunami realized that her negligence had brought about such a serious outcome.
[Starry Night! You finally woke up."
A cherry figure appeared at the door and ran to the bed. She stared at Starry Night as if she wanted to confirm the truth in front of her.
"That's great! I was worried that you wouldn't wake up..."
Xiao Ying's eyes revealed a trace of timidity. It seemed that it was still difficult to erase the shadow of that time. The powerless him was only a stumbling block in the end.
He shook his head and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind.」
Naruto, who had originally planned to go see Starry Night, was dragged by Sakura to find Naruto halfway. When he knew that Starry Night had woken up, he ran faster than Sakura. It was obvious that he was not as worried as the others.
A few minutes later, Sakura and Naruto arrived with Steelhand and Silent. They also went to look for Kakashi.
When Starry Night saw the bandages on his chest, he realized the severity of the wound. Fortunately, he was treated by the Steel Hands and was saved from danger. She knew very well that it was not her own injury, but it was caused by these hands.
After checking Starry Night's hand, he took a stack of documents from Jingyin.
"The vein in my right hand is fine, but it's still under observation. I'll take a good rest for now.」He paused and frowned."In the past five days, although I didn't have consciousness, my physical strength was very exhausted. What's even stranger is that the chakra signs on your body are abnormally weak!」
"What? The Chakra of the Starry Night has disappeared?"
Naruto shouted in surprise, taking a hit from Sakura's fist."Stupid Naruto, when did Lord Steel Hand say that?」
Kakashi was helpless."May I ask Lord Naruto, what's going on?」
"I'm not sure, but at this rate, it might take a few days to recover.」
[Doesn't that mean Starry Night can't go on missions with us?」Naruto was depressed.
He had just received a mission from the Country of Tea a few days ago. If Starry Night had woken up before they set off, they could have set off together, but now it seemed that there was no other way.
"There's no other way. You three can go this time.」
Naruto's anger and Sakura's disappointment were all seen by Starry Night. However, she only realized now that there seemed to be…someone missing.
"The visiting hours are over. The two of you should have other things to do. Go back quickly.」Okami added,"Kakashi, you stay."」
After they left, Steel Hands went straight to the point and asked about Red Lotus. Of course, he did not force Starry Night to tell him everything.
Starry Night was silent at first. He had always known that Steel Hand was a smart person, which was why he was qualified to be recommended to Naruto. Kakashi was left behind because he needed to know.
After a long time, he spoke.
What she said was only a superficial explanation…
The red lotus was not the name of the eye technique, but its own ability. The eye was the window to the soul, so it was bestowed with this power in the form of an eye technique. It probably just wanted to see with its own eyes how this corrupt world had fallen!
It allowed the soul to replace food, and the pendant was its symbol.
The flames burning in the crystal seemed to be describing its indestructible life.
He once wanted to break it with one hand, but it was pointless. There was no power in this world that could destroy it. As long as this crystal existed, Starry Night would never forget his future.
She answered Tsunake's question with a few simple sentences. She said a lot of things, but there were also times when she avoided them.
When Okami asked about the western part of the river between Starry Night and Red Lotus, or what it was, Starry Night just closed his eyes dejectedly.
In the end, she still couldn't use words to describe this terrifying existence…
They couldn't understand what she had gone through just by listening to her. The future she saw was only darkness.
The nightmare that befell her when she was three years old was the source of the Starry Night Calamity. It would give her the strength to live, but the price was to offer her soul after she died.
In order to survive, she could only make this contract. Because death was also a bargaining chip for her to refuse.
An eternal soul did not belong to heaven or hell…
Perhaps, it was that eternal dream!
Starry Night did not notice that there was someone standing there because of the chakra reduction. As a Jounin, Kakashi and Naruto's Steelhand could not possibly not have noticed, but even so, they remained unmoved.
As that person left, Tian Ying's ears twitched, but he remained silent.
On the day of their departure, they had come to see Starry Night. Sakura was disappointed that she couldn't go with them, while Naruto smiled and said,"Anyway, there will be a next time. When Starry Night is better, we can go on missions like before."!」
When Sakura heard Naruto's words, she was unexpectedly convinced. Then, she said goodbye to Starry Night.
[Hello.] If he hadn't said anything, Starry Night wouldn't have noticed that someone had been standing there since a moment ago.
After a period of silence, Sasuke walked out. Her mind seemed to be still wandering about that sentence...
[I will let you see my true strength.」
