The story is divided into two parts, let’s not talk about whether Albert can survive or not. Tonight, something happened in Master Cat’s office, because an old friend came to visit him.
But this is an uninvited guest, Master Cat didn't know someone was coming.
He is sorting out the almost limitless coffee in the cabinet. Since he quit smoking, he seems to have become addicted to caffeine, so a large amount of inventory has entered his messy lair.
"Hey hey... I'm sorry to bother you so late, can you stop what you're doing for a while." An unusually obscene voice suddenly sounded behind Master Cat.
In the middle of the night, ordinary people would probably be scared to death, but Master Cat is not afraid at all, because he has already recognized who the owner of the voice is.
"Who am I talking about... The only monster like you who can get close to me so unknowingly..."
Woody's glasses always seem to be covered with a layer of white light, making it difficult to see what his eyes are like, and every word he says is accompanied by a teasing and obscene laughter: "Hey... I haven't seen you in six or seven years. Well, you're still an annoying man..."
Master Cat showed a rare non-malicious smile: "Come on, don't you mind if people call you a monster?"
Woody also smiled: "Anyway, let's sit down and talk." He also sat down by himself unceremoniously.
Master Cat closed the door of the cabinet, and sat opposite Woody: "Could it be that you came to talk to me about Alastor?"
"Originally, the life and death of such a small character is insignificant, but recently I heard rumors that he hooked up with high-level officials in heaven. Do you have any relevant information?"
Master Cat thought for a while: "Elbert, who was possessed by him, mentioned the glaring white light and screaming sound, and that's all I can think of."
"Hey hey... that's enough, now Alastor is finished, no one will know what he talked with those guys... the next thing is actually easier to deal with."
"According to what you mean, it seems that you want to do some deeds of framing..."
Woody changed the subject: "Let's stop here. About the matter of heaven and hell, you can inquire after you die. Actually, I'm here on business this time. Satan's order is to issue a warning to you ghost hunters."
Master Cat laughed again: "Since when did I become a representative of the ghost hunting world?"
"Hey hey... I came to you to handle this matter. It's actually a workaround. If I make a plan to fulfill Satan's orders in a business-like manner, many bad things may happen... "
"Well... I see that your plan is nothing more than to kill a few ten kings of hell first, and then issue a naked threat to the entire ghost hunting world, and then kill all those who dare to resist."
"Hehehe... As expected, he is the most favored person in the world... Then he quickly found out the most efficient plan from my point of view... Then I don't have to go round and round to scare you, just listen.
First of all, your last demon summoning incident had a very bad impact, and its damage to the 'balance' has exceeded our initial estimate. Killing appears. "
Master Cat interrupted: "Wait a minute, 'balance', according to my reasoning, should refer to the 'quantity' of souls in the three places of hell, earth, and heaven, right? Then you mean, last time The disappearance of a large number of ghosts and the death of ghost hunters have already affected the 'balance'? But this is different from what Vincent told me before. He said that even if 100,000 people die in the summoning circle, it will not have any impact .”
Woody pushed his glasses: "Of course it's because your understanding of balance is wrong."
This was beyond the expectation of Master Cat. He asked, "Then what exactly does 'balance' mean?"
Woody stared at him for a few seconds: "It's okay to tell you, but... it's limited to you, this part of your knowledge and memory, even if the other party has the ability to read the memory, you can't know it, if you personally want to If you tell this concept to anyone, or express it in any form, you may be sanctioned by 'God', then... then no one will be able to save you."
Master Cat hesitated for a moment: "Hey... Curiosity killed the cat... Tell me, I've come to my senses."
There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Woody's mouth: "First of all, this world is divided into three parts: hell, human world, and heaven. The so-called yin and yang world is only a part of the human world, and its scale is fundamentally small compared with these three parts. Not worth mentioning.
However, in addition to these three parts, there is also a huge field called the 'Sea of Darkness'. This field is so big that it is unimaginable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it envelops the entire universe. Therefore, in fact, there is no concept of the so-called "soul flying away", and those souls that are eliminated will enter the sea of darkness.
After human beings die normally, their souls will enter hell and heaven. Of course, more than 97% of them go to our hell. Although it is strange for me to say this, hell is not as terrible as ordinary people imagine , each place has its corresponding system, and the hell that humans generally understand is one-sided and distorted by those in power. "
"Hey, hey, those in power... Do you mean those in heaven? Your wording is wrong... Could it be..."
Woody pushed his glasses again: "It's good to understand... I can only tell you-the war never ends.
So continue what I just said, the souls in the world are losing every day, and there will be souls entering the world in hell and heaven. Hell will give souls the right to choose. They can live in hell, be born again in the world, or choose to go to hell. The sea sleeps forever, as for heaven, there is only one situation to leave, which is commonly known as falling into the sky...
And the last place is the Sea of Darkness, as long as the souls that 'leave this world', they will enter the Sea of Darkness, therefore, there will be no souls that are completely wiped out, the souls of this universe will always be the same amount,' 'Balance' refers to the relationship between the various layers. "
Master Cat laughed: "I understand, to put it more bluntly, 'balance' is directly related to your 'war'."
"Hehehe... What a smart man... In fact, the human world has always been just a battlefield. God uses religion and politics as tools, knowledge as weapons, and desires as motivation, all of which are handed over to humans without reservation. , the world has become the best place to temper the soul.
Mortals have the cruelty like fire and the tenderness like water, and their short lives make them shine even more. This is simply a masterpiece of God. Powerful souls are born in this way, and then they are thrown into the worlds of heaven and hell. In the midst of war. "
"I don't know why, but I'm very upset after hearing your words..."
"Hey... I used to be a human being, and I can understand your mood at the moment, but now, I don't care about it anymore, and I think one day you will understand." Woody continued: "In short, the relationship between the Three Realms The relationship is as mentioned above, and the sea of darkness is like a chaotic container, where there are far more souls than the sum of the three realms, where the souls sleep endlessly, and only God knows which one and on which day Will come back to our world, of course, may never return to this world.
The most important point is that the sea of darkness is also the key to maintaining "balance". The "war" must be carried out slowly. If it is too intense, the world may be destroyed. There have been several major catastrophes in history, one of which was It also has such a direct relationship with me... Therefore, if a certain party is too strong, it is not what God wants to see.
Whether it is Satan or those guys above, they all have higher-level abilities than me, they can peek into the intentions of some 'gods', they know the rules of the game, and existences like Vincent and I just make sure everything is within the rules That's all. "
Master Cat took an unprecedentedly long time to digest this knowledge. After about ten minutes, he said: "You mean, in the last incident, too many souls from the yin and yang world directly entered the sea of underworld, and ghost hunting Most of the survivors went to the heaven side, and as a result, the sea of underworld, which was used as a transfer station, was overloaded.
Even if Minghai immediately releases demonic heretic souls back to the human world that can compete with the increased strength of heaven, it will take at least 20 years for them to grow into a green forest hero, and wait for these desperadoes to go to hell. How many years will it take, then you will be in a tight spot, right? "
Woody laughed again: "Hehehe... That's what it means... But it's not a big problem now, you have seen Vincent a while ago, right? At that time, even us high-level devils had to come out to collect Evil fallen souls are prepared to deal with this situation that is about to arise.
Satan made an arrangement based on the information obtained from your prophet's prophecy. If 100,000 people are killed by ghosts, most of them will go to hell, and after the demon summoning array is activated, you ghost hunters will surely suffer a lot of casualties. Your souls are stronger, and in this case, heaven still takes advantage of it. At that time, the evil spirits we have on hand can save us from the disadvantage.
But now, 100,000 casualties have not occurred, and although the ghost hunters did not die as many as imagined, Heaven still benefits. Our previous efforts can barely maintain the balance of the war. "
"Okay, okay, I understand, no wonder the ghost hunting world left a rule that you can't kill ghosts casually, it turns out that there is such an existence as the 'Underworld'.
In short, the ghost hunting world should not make any big moves recently, lest it cause excessive casualties to itself or the Yin-Yang world, thus indirectly making your hell more and more passive in the war... "
Woody patted him on the shoulder: "You really understand righteousness, and you are a good example for the world!"
Master Cat suddenly put away his smile: "I have a very bad feeling now, because I have a very bad inference..."
"Hey hey... Let me hear it."
"You've told me so much, there must be some kind of plan... And if I'm right... that plan is..."
Woody laughed even more obscenely: "One day... I mean one day, even if that day is still far away, but you are going to die after all. A talent like you is likely to be appreciated by Satan, and then..."
"Then I will become a guy like you..."
