Death is the Beginning

Chapter 2: horror hell

Views:

In an indescribable hazy feeling, Pei Jiao seemed to have passed through the passage between life and death. He could clearly feel it, but he couldn't move, say, or think. Knowing how much time had passed, Pei Jiao's eyes lit up, and he finally passed through the vortex passage. With a bang, he fell hard to the ground, and at the same time, there were still people who were holding him tightly as he fell to the ground. old man on his shoulders.

Taking advantage of the lack of strength when he fell, Pei Jiao finally broke free from the old man's grasp, jumped up from the ground as soon as he bounced, and just a few meters above him, the entrance of the black hole vortex has become more and more Little, before he could react, the entire black hole vortex had completely disappeared before his eyes, leaving only hundreds of people lying there moaning continuously.

Pei Jiao only felt that his shoulder was extremely painful. This kind of pain was different from the pain of being torn apart in the past, but an endless pain of tearing the soul, which made him anxious, but it was okay, This kind of pain is gradually decreasing, not the continuous pain of the soul, otherwise, he would really be willing to die. Only then did he slowly look around and see clearly what was in front of him. Where.

This is a barren plain, there is not even a single green grass on the entire plain, the ground is dark red, and there are cracked rocks and soil everywhere, and from the ground where he is standing, this barren plain stretches indefinitely. How far away, but far away from the plain on the other side, it seems that the ground suddenly disappeared, and the end of the ground turned out to be a pitch-black void. Such a scene is really unimaginable, just like the ancient legend. Like the round sky, when the ground reaches the end, it will fall directly.

Pei Jiao raised his head to look at the sky again, the whole sky showed a dark gray color, and the hazy clouds were so thick that it was impossible to see the sun through the sky... He even doubted that there was no sun in this world, the surrounding scene here It is really like hell, that dark place, will there be a sun in such a place

"What the hell is this place?" Pei Jiao murmured as he looked at the surrounding barren plain.

At this moment, Pei Jiao is really at a loss. He suddenly ran here from the human world. He doesn't think he has time-traveled like in the novel. The so-called time-travel is not so weird, and he even traversed hundreds of people at once. It is clearly the number of people who died in Shanghai in one day. As he thought before, the souls were all included in another world, instead of accumulating in the real world. Otherwise, the souls in the real world would have already died. Pile up the earth, and there may be only a few hundred people in the whole of Shanghai

"In other words, is this the underworld? Or is it hell?" Pei Jiao looked around again. If his guess is correct, this is indeed the underworld where the dead should go, so there must be a certain number of souls here. One billion or even more, after all, human beings will have dead people every moment, if it keeps accumulating, the souls here may be more than the population of the real world... But it is strange that so many souls accumulate together, Why is this world still so desolate

Pei Jiao's heart was extremely strange, and there was also a faint sense of panic. That ominous premonition has always been with him. Since he came to this world, that premonition has become more and more obvious, and when he looked around, it was as expected. I saw more than a dozen black spots appearing extremely far away, and the black spots were approaching everyone at an extremely fast speed. As they were running, a rolled-up layer of soil appeared behind the black spots. It can be seen that the dozen or so How fast the black spots are moving.

As soon as Pei Jiao found the dozen or so black spots, he immediately focused all his attention on that side, because in this vast and boundless plain, only the dozen or so black spots were unusual. Gradually, he Finally, I saw the whole picture of the dozen or so black spots... Yes, they were a dozen or so black wolves that were several meters in size!

Pei Jiao narrowed his eyes, and immediately kept looking around. Although the plain was extremely desolate, there were some rocks several meters high standing everywhere. Pei Jiao looked around and found a piece hundreds of meters away from him. About 1 meter of rocks rushed over, and behind him, the hundreds of human souls were still lying on the ground in a sluggish way, and a few souls stood up slowly tremblingly, but these souls seemed to have passed away. Unlike human beings, the tallest of them is nearly three meters tall. They have two feet, two hands and one head. They are still primate-like, but these people more or less have reptile-like appearances on their bodies. more than a dozen people have even changed their faces. Although they are not blue-faced and fangs, their appearance is a bit scary.

Pei Jiao really couldn't believe it at the moment, especially with the appearance of those giant wolves, the sense of crisis went straight to his heart, so he rushed towards the huge rock without thinking, and when he came near the rock, , he hurriedly searched under the rock block, and kept using his hands to penetrate into the cavity under the rock block, but the rock block was pressed tightly against the ground, and there was no gap there for him to drill. , For a moment, he was so anxious that he was sweating all over... But it is a pity that he is currently in the soul body, and there may be sweating there, which just makes him more anxious and flustered.

"Calm down!" Pei Jiao suddenly stood still, he took a few deep breaths, and forcibly suppressed the anxiety and fear in his heart. He also shouted to himself in his heart to calm down, until his emotions stabilized a little, Only then did he find another huge rock block and ran, hoping that there was some place to hide from that huge rock block.

And the black spot in the distance is getting closer, and the giant wolf with a height of three or four meters from its feet to its head is becoming more and more obvious. It is about three or four kilometers away from everyone, and Pei Jiao just ran to another place at this time. Under a huge rock, compared to the fast speed of the giant wolf, if there is no place to hide from this huge rock, then he will have no time to find another huge rock... Those giant wolves can definitely run to another huge rock. A huge rock tore him apart.

Pei Jiao felt trembling all over his body. Although he was a soul body, his chest still beat violently when he got nervous, but he didn't know if it was the heart or some other organ. Pei Jiao tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and at the same time He hurriedly lay down on the ground and kept searching, finally, his hand felt empty, and he found a small gap at the intersection of the rock and the ground, but he didn't care whether the gap could accommodate him, and hurriedly He stretched his feet under the rock, and pressed down inch by inch, even though the edges and corners of the rock tore apart his soul body, he actually held back the severe pain, and pushed himself into the rock. In the gap under the rock block, he also used his hands to dig up the soil vigorously, half blocking the entrance of the gap, and when he finished all this, the first giant wolf had already rushed into the crowd. .

This giant wolf is black all over, every inch of hair stands up like a steel needle, and its figure is terrifyingly large, with a height of about three or four meters from feet to head, and more than ten meters from tail to head, which is comparable to uploading The size of the dinosaur in the story is so small that people standing in front of it are really pitifully small, just like a kitten in front of humans, and what makes Pei Jiao shudder the most is that the wolf's head is not a wolf's head, but a human head !

Yes, the wolf's head is an enlarged human head, but the eyes of this human head are shining green, and the mouth has been mutated so much that it has countless protruding sharp teeth, just like the big teeth of a saber-toothed tiger. It's just that saber-toothed tigers only have two protruding sharp teeth, but these giant wolves have dozens of sharp teeth in their heads and mouths, each of which is like a dagger, with a white cold light.

When a huge human-headed wolf rushed into the crowd, it lowered its head and bit down fiercely, with a soft hiss, and the three human souls under it were all bitten in its mouth. These three human souls were still a little sluggish. , but under the tearing and chewing of the sharp teeth, each of them roared in pain. The sound was really shocking, but the man-headed wolf didn't know what it meant to stop, and it was still chewing non-stop. After a few mouthfuls Then he swallowed the three human souls into his stomach.

After the soul was torn apart, no blood splashed out, but some light spots the size of a thumbnail floated out, and there were small black silk streams. The giant wolf chewed the souls of three humans, and there were many light spots during the process. The dots and black silk flowed out, and the giant wolf seemed to enjoy it very much. It sucked all the light dots and black silk into its mouth, and then slapped more than a dozen human souls to the ground with a single paw. It swallowed two human souls in one gulp.

Indeed, after the intrusion of those black air currents into the body, the physical fitness of these human souls has obviously mutated, and they are all so strong that they are not human-like. What kind of wolf is this? It is clearly an unknown ancient monster. With a light slap of its claws, it punches a deep hole several meters in size on the ground. It swallows the souls of several people with one mouth, and tears them apart It was broken into pieces, not to mention these soul bodies, even the tanks and chariots. In front of this giant wolf, they are probably like pieces of paper, but in an instant, the souls of hundreds of people have been confronted by more than a dozen people. The giant wolves were eaten up, and Pei Jiao vaguely felt that the bodies of these giant wolves seemed to be bigger, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see why. At this moment, he just held his breath and focused on looking at the ten wolves. The movement of several giant wolves.

Pei Jiao doesn't know whether these giant wolves have a keen sense of smell, or whether the soul body can be smelled out, but he does know that as soon as he is discovered by these giant wolves, what awaits him will definitely be death... instead of becoming A death like a soul, but a real death where both consciousness and soul disappear!

However, Pei Jiao's worry didn't come true, so the giant wolf with the head of a human seemed to be in a hurry. After devouring all the human souls at the scene, each of them raised their heads to the sky and screamed. Amidst the roar, they ran away But when he went, he never found Pei Jiao who was hiding under the huge rock.

But Pei Jiao didn't dare to move an inch, he just stayed under the gap, about three or four hours later, he got out of the gap very carefully, at this time he took a closer look at his body Body, in the desperate squeeze just now, his belly has been cut by the corners of the huge rock. If it is a normal person, this level is enough to see the internal organs, but Pei Jiao Only spots of light and color could be seen from his stomach, and as these spots gathered to the gap, the scars on his body began to heal gradually, and he became a complete body again.

Pei Jiao touched his intact belly, and then he looked at the flat land in the distance, where he and those hundreds of people landed, but at this moment, those hundreds of people have all become food for strange wolves What's even more frightening is that after the killing, he couldn't even find a single trace of blood or traces, as if everything just now was just his fantasy, but the soul tearing pain that still existed on his body told him, Everything just now is real, the souls of those hundreds of people have been swallowed by monsters, and now he is also in this monster-like world, and he may be swallowed by such a monster wolf at any time.

"Hey, is this really hell? No wonder, if there are monsters like that kind of giant wolf with the head of a man, no matter how many souls fall here, they will be swallowed alive by those monsters. Maybe there is still civilization there?"

Pei Jiao was talking to himself, when he said this, his whole body felt cold, he felt that even the bottom of his heart was cold, he originally planned to work hard and save money in the underworld. A family property can be taken care of by parents after a hundred years, but who knows that the reality is so cruel, although there is indeed a soul after death, but this soul will fall into such a horrible hell, it is really life and death. It's up to him... He doesn't believe that those hundreds of people are all so-called evil people. Those people are just ordinary people in Shanghai. There are good and evil. There may be pure good and evil in people's hearts. It’s nothing more than a counterweight, but these ordinary people all fell into this hell, and they were all swallowed by monsters... One can imagine that this world should be the destination of all souls, there is no good or evil, and there is no so-called heaven !

No matter what, after Pei Jiao stayed on the spot and thought about it for a long time, he had no choice but to walk into the wilderness. It was impossible for him to stay in this hole for the rest of his life? Although he is a soul body, I don't know if he will be hungry or thirsty, but he is still a human being, and he has to do something, and it is impossible to turn into a stone and stay here for hundreds of years. In that case, even if he is still alive, it is equivalent to death up.

"Damn it, I don't believe that there is no life. Everything has a chance of life. It is impossible to enter this hell and be swallowed?"

Pei Jiao has become cruel, he is ready to explore this world, maybe this world is like those other worlds in novels, there may be human beings gathered together, using various methods to fight against that strange wolf-like creature, Maybe the plains here are the so-called Jedi and dead places in those novels, but they were unlucky and fell into these dangerous areas when traveling, maybe this world is still very beautiful... .

In this way, as if he was deceiving himself, Pei Jiao began to carefully explore this wasteland. Because he had seen the horror of the giant wolf, he was always careful enough, but for some reason, as soon as he entered After this world, the floating ability of his soul body is gone, as if ordinary people can only walk on the ground, and touch those stones, soil and so on, as if he himself is still a physical body, and these ground and rocks They are all real objects, and under such circumstances, he can only rely on his eyesight to look around. He is always vigilant like a rabbit, and even the slightest noise is enough to make him tremble with fear.

However, continuing to move forward with such caution, in just a few tens of hours, Pei Jiao has walked hundreds of kilometers away from the place where he descended. However, the number of monsters is very rare, at least Pei Jiao has not even seen half of the traces far away, which makes him a little more stable at the moment.

As a soul body, Pei Jiao has walked hundreds of kilometers in a row. He has never felt thirsty or hungry, and even his physical strength has remained intact. It's just that he doesn't know if it's an illusion. He feels that his strength seems to have shrunk a little...it must be Illusion, Pei Jiao comforted himself so much, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

(Conservation of energy, conservation of mass, even the soul body should be like this. It is said that someone in a foreign country has done such an experiment, putting a dying person into a tightly sealed weighing device, and when he died In an instant, the weight of the human body did decrease a bit, and this weight is the weight of the soul, and now, my soul has walked such a long distance, and I am not thirsty, hungry, or even tired, but I have walked so much Where does the energy consumed on the road come from? Could it be the power of my soul? Keep going, sooner or later, I will disappear into thin air?)

Pei Jiao was really anxious in his heart. In fact, he had been carrying such anxiety in his heart ever since he came to this hell. Even if ants survived stealthily, people like him who already had thoughts in their hearts would not want to die even more. He He still wants to go back to meet his relatives, and he wants to create something for his parents to take care of them in a hundred years... Yes, he doesn't want to die!

With this kind of obsession, Pei Jiao walked towards the transversal void far away. He wanted to see what was going on there. Walking, not to mention ten days and a half months, it may be possible to walk for several years. Judging from the degree to which he can reduce some strength in dozens of hours, his walking method will disappear in half a year at most, and it is impossible to leave even a little consciousness , so the only turning point at the moment may be the Transverse Void.

The so-called Wangshan ran dead horse, although Pei Jiao could indeed see the pitch-black transversal void from a distance, but when he was about to walk there, he found that this road was too far away. Pei Jiao walked for at least two or three hundred hours along the way, and in the end he could hardly count the time, and he even forgot whether there would be monsters around him, but he just walked towards the transversal void with all his heart. , his strength is getting smaller and smaller, and he can even feel it himself. His strength has shrunk by at least half of it when he first came to this world. It can be seen that his soul and body are indeed gradually weakening.

Just when Pei Jiao was lamenting how he would die in the end, he had already approached half the distance to the Transverse Void at this moment, and it was estimated that he would have to walk for four to five hundred hours before he could approach the Transverse Void. While walking forward and calculating the degree of his weakening, he suddenly felt a tremor from behind that made his heart palpitate. It was a feeling of approaching danger. He also felt it when the strange wolf appeared. Once it appeared, Pei Jiao was startled and looked back.

On the very far side of the sky, there was another black dot the size of a tiny dot. If Pei Jiao hadn't been in a soul body now, and his vision was clearer than that of a mortal, he would not have been able to see such a distant place, although he could not see it for the time being. Knowing exactly what the black spot is, but the feeling in his heart cannot be deceiving. Ever since he became a soul body, Pei Jiao's sixth sense has become stronger and stronger. This may be the unique advantage of the soul body. Afterwards, both the will and the soul were liberated, and it was reasonable to have a stronger sixth sense.

Seeing the black spot flying towards this direction, Pei Jiao began to search for the surrounding giant rocks again, but after looking around, Pei Jiao immediately felt pain in his heart, he was so desperate to come to this place Coming up on flat ground, there were no huge rocks around, not even a small stone ball, and the nearest huge rock was several kilometers away, so he ran forward at his speed, not to mention that he ran there. The giant rock is here, I am afraid that I will be eaten by the flying monster as soon as I run a few hundred meters. After all, the monster is flying, not running like the strange wolf. In just a few seconds, Pei Jiao has vaguely seen it. When it came to the figure of this monster, it was clearly a nine-clawed human-headed bird.

Pei Jiao uttered a cry, but at this moment, he couldn't think about it. Although he knew that with his speed, he couldn't reach the huge rock no matter what, but he still ran forward with all his might. This is really desperate. If you don't run away, you will die. If you run away, there may still be a little bit of life, but while running, Pei Jiao felt a slight tingling pain on his back, but he knew in his heart that it was the monster bird with the human head and nine claws staring at him closely. Yes, that tingling sensation should be where the strange bird's attention is drawn.

(Damn, I often hear people say that those who learn martial arts and train their bodies can feel others pay attention to their eyes after they have cultivated themselves into a perfect body. I didn't expect that I would have such an ability after I became a soul body... But, I would rather Don’t want such abilities, just ask that strange bird not to chase me!)

The more Pei Jiao ran, the more frightened he became, and the fear in his heart intensified. He thought about many thoughts in a daze, but in the end, only one thought was left, and the other was alive. Under such unprecedented concentration, his A layer of lightning bolts gradually appeared on the soles of the feet, but the lightning bolts did not make any sound, but concentrated under Pei Jiao's feet like shoes. With the appearance of the lightning bolts, Pei Jiao's running speed also accelerated, until Later, he rushed out thousands of meters like a black shadow, and it only took more than ten seconds. When Pei Jiao had turned his head against the huge rock, he suddenly realized that he was actually After running such a long distance, the black spot in the sky has only enlarged a few times, and it is about seven or eight kilometers away from him. .

(Huh? Am I running so fast? I can fly faster than a bird...)

Seeing that he had reached his destination, Pei Jiao was both surprised and delighted, and immediately searched around under the huge rock, trying to find another gap where he could fit in, but the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. Unavoidably exerting force on his hand, he kept trying to explore the big gap under the huge rock. Just now, one hand reached into a narrow gap, but in a hurry, his wrist was stuck in the gap. The more anxious he was, the harder it was to pull Come out, until he finally pulled out his hand, a bad wind hit the back of his head, so he had no time to turn his head to take a closer look, he could only roll on the spot according to his feeling, and then a sharp pain that tore his soul came from his left foot , his left foot has been completely torn from the knee.

The nine-clawed human-faced bird had already pounced straight down from the sky, with all nine claws coming out, if Pei Jiao hadn't dodged quickly, he could have smashed his claws under this claw, but he was still caught by this strange bird. Tore off a thigh, not only that, the strange bird swooped down, and it was embedded in this giant rock, its claws were sharp, its strength was huge, and a loud noise burst out, and the giant rock was caught. Torn apart, this is a huge rock tens of meters high, most of it is broken under one claw, the shattered stones fell straight down like a rain of stones, crushing the back half of Pei Jiao who was half lying on the ground Among the rubble, he couldn't move at all.

Only then did Pei Jiao see the whole picture of the nine-clawed human-faced bird clearly. This nine-clawed human-faced bird is about eight or nine meters long. If it spread its wings, it would be nearly twenty meters long and short. About three or four meters away, it is more terrifying and ferocious than the giant wolf with the human head, and the face of the nine-clawed human-faced bird looks like a woman, but this woman's face is distorted and hideous, just looking at it makes people feel terrified Not only that, this woman kept emitting a sharp howling sound from her face and mouth, the sound seemed to be rubbing against glass with iron wire, which made Pei Jiao's eardrums tear apart... Even if he is only a soul body at this moment. Same.

But I saw that the nine-clawed man-faced bird put the human leg in one claw into the human-faced mouth and chewed it, the thigh immediately turned into light spots and dissipated in its mouth, and the nine-clawed man-faced bird seemed to have more than enough to say , there was another scream, and its whole face was turned towards Pei Jiao. It didn't use its claws to tear it, but opened its mouth wide and lowered its head, as if it was planning to swallow Pei Jiao alive. The last consciousness in Pei Jiao's heart was also frightened. At this moment, he was only trembling violently. The only thought in his mind was fear, to live, and the memories of those scenes that kept replaying...

People say that when one dies, the past will be replayed one by one, but Pei Jiao died very quickly, and the high-voltage current turned into charcoal as soon as it was burned. Unexpectedly, there was no memory replay when he died, but only after he died. In this scene, even the soul died, but I don't know if it was completely dissipated into ashes, and Pei Jiao didn't know about it. The mischievousness after growing up, then the pampering after the younger sister was born, and finally gradually becoming stable... The aging appearance of the parents, the younger sister sweetly calling her name with a sweet smile, and the memory that was not there. She doesn't occupy too much weight...

All these scenes were played back in Pei Jiao's mind, and the more he played back all these, the more Pei Jiao didn't want to die, he wanted to live on, he wanted to support his parents, he wanted to watch his sister grow up, he wanted to To hold hands with her again, there are too many things I want to do, just die like this... He is unwilling! He doesn't want to die!

"No, don't... I don't want to die!"

Pei Jiao watched the giant face of the strange bird getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see the terrifying sharp teeth of the strange bird, when the strange bird opened its mouth to cover him, the mouth was only a few inches away from him When it was far or near, all the replays of memories suddenly disappeared, and all thoughts and fears also disappeared. At this moment, the only thought in Pei Jiao's heart was the words "survive!"

Suddenly, he subconsciously folded his hands together, and stabbed in along the monster bird's giant mouth, and in his palms, lightning bolts flashed, and a beam of lightning several feet long passed straight through those hands. It came out, shot into its body along the giant mouth of the strange bird, only heard a crackling sound, the back of the strange bird's head burst open, and its back half was blown to pieces, and after eating this The pain was severe, and the strange bird only had time to close its mouth, and with a soft sound, it tore apart Pei Jiao's arms that had been inserted into its mouth, but Pei Jiao couldn't hold on any longer at this moment, he just felt It was dark in front of his eyes, and he passed out immediately.

In this comatose darkness, Pei Jiao only felt an indescribably weird feeling all over his body. Although one leg and both arms were hurting to death, his whole body seemed to be lazily and thoroughly comfortable as if soaking in a hot spring. This kind of contradiction The feeling made him really uncomfortable. After several struggles, he finally opened his eyes, but the place where the eyes entered shocked him half to death, but he saw that the big mouth of the strange bird was still facing him. It looked like he was about to bite off, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and shrank back.

After Pei Jiao backed away for a few meters, he realized that the strange bird was completely dead, and what was left was just a corpse. This strange bird had suffered some serious injuries. Although the front half of its body was still intact, it was still alive. The second half of the body exploded and ruptured, not even a single piece of intact flesh was found, only the shell remained.

Until then, Pei Jiao finally calmed down from the shock and fear, but he immediately stood up, and then looked around, fearing that he would encounter another monster at this moment, but his luck was good. It was just barren land everywhere, and he couldn't see any abnormalities at all. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked a few steps closer to the strange bird, intending to take a closer look at the strange bird's body structure and so on.

"Huh? Haven't my legs been torn off? My hands too..." Pei Jiao took a few steps forward, and suddenly he came back to his senses, remembering that both his hands and one leg had been torn off before. , did not expect his hands and one leg to be intact at this moment, and what surprised him even more was that at this moment, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, like an athlete who had enough food, drink and sleep. You can kill a cow.

Just when Pei Jiao was inexplicably surprised, countless light spots appeared from the corpse of the strange bird. As soon as these light spots emerged, part of the corpse of the strange bird dissipated. Obviously, the strange bird was also made of light spots. The composition is like Pei Jiao's soul body at the moment.

Pei Jiao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of a possibility... That is, this world may really be the underworld, hell, or hell that the dead should go to. Although the names are different, they all refer to the place where people end up after death, but Anyway, this world obviously conforms to the law of energy conservation. As for the source of energy... probably these light particles, otherwise why would this strange bird and those strange wolves attack human souls? It is estimated that they hope to obtain the light point particles in these soul bodies.

Perhaps... this is the energy source of this world!
