Chapter 2473 Before the Dark Moon
Chapter 2474 Before the Dark Moon
"Cat God! Cat God! Open your eyes, Cat God!"
The consciousness seemed to be swallowed by the eternal darkness, but it seemed like just a long and comfortable nap.
When Xia De realized that someone seemed to be calling him with a strange name, all external senses returned at this moment.
He felt like he was lying, but every part of his body could not be controlled by his thoughts. The childish but anxious voice came from his face, and it seemed that something was licking him.
"It's Mia, right?"
But he immediately denied this guess. The weak and greedy cat couldn't speak, and it rarely licked its face.
"What happened just now?"
It was not until this moment that memories came to his mind, the burning Moon Bay, the transformed day and night, the gentle but cold power of Miss Isabella, and the powerful blow of the evil god entrenched in the sacrificial field
He was somewhat dazed in the darkness:
"I am not dead?"
"Her" voice was still gentle:
[Three drops of divinity are still in your soul. You should not die so easily before they disappear. ]
But there seemed to be some helplessness in the gentleness:
[Next time, don't do it. ]
"I didn't want to do this, I just think Luvia would be very angry?"
The eyes still couldn't be controlled to open, but the perception suddenly detected the surrounding environment at this time. It was very magical that even if he opened his eyes, he could only see the top of his head when lying on his back, but Shade felt that he could see everything around him at this moment.
Below him was the calm and dark waters, and he just lay on the water, with his legs together and straight, and his hands together and placed on his body. Around him, countless figures emitting pure white light were walking slowly and distortedly in the direction of his head.
Not far in front of Xia De's head, the huge silver moon half-sunken in the water illuminated him with his eyes closed at the moment with a cold light.
"I"
[Fake death, you are seriously injured and need some time. ]
Pause:
[There is no concept of time here, don't worry about the world of the living. ]
"Cat God, you are awake! Mother, Cat God is awake!"
When Xia De sensed the outside world, a familiar whisper came to his ears again.
Then, Xia De "saw" that the soul of the black cat he helped in Yuewan City no longer licked his face, but pounced on the older black female cat standing in front of Xia De's head.
Xia De had also seen this cat when he was seeing off the soul of the little black cat. It was licking its paws at first, and now it was hugging its daughter, but it didn't speak.
The light of the dark moon illuminated the dark fur of the mother and daughter. In the state of soul, they did not become pure white and transparent like other souls that passed by Shade, but the color of their bodies was much more monotonous.
"Cat God, are you okay?"
The innocent kitten was hugged by his mother and asked, and wanted to stretch out his claws to him, but was stopped by his mother.
Shade wanted to answer the cat's question, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"He's fine, he just needs to rest."
It's amazing that before this new voice appeared, Shade didn't notice that Sparrow Hamilton, who was wearing a brown deerstalker hat and holding the cane that Shade sold to Old John last year, was standing on his right.
The ace agent "Grey Eagle" who had not been seen for a long time was still the same as before, with a helpless expression in his gray eyes. Shade wanted to say "Sorry, I didn't take the initiative to disturb you this time", but he still couldn't speak.
The detective just looked down at him, shook his head and sighed:
"Really, I thought I would have to wait for a while before I could see you here."
The huge dark moon also cast its light on him standing on the water. Sparrow Hamilton had no shadow like the cats.
"Death is definitely not the worst ending for him."
A voice also came from the left hand side. Ivan Darkness, the chosen one of "Darkness", stood there and looked down at him. Similarly, before the long-dead chosen one spoke, Shade did not realize that he was there too.
Ivan Darkness's right hand was still wearing the red glove used to cover the "Devil's Mouth", and there was a scarlet light in his eyes.
Shade wanted to fight back with words, but unfortunately he still couldn't do it. The silver moonlight illuminated the black jacket of the chosen one, but the jacket was clearly squirming as if it was made of pus from the "Human Pus".
"You are tired, aren't you?"
An ethereal and sad voice sounded, and Hela Osenfurt, who was wearing a black veil, asked while standing next to Shad's right leg. She was still wearing a black gauze dress that symbolized death. With the help of the bright moonlight, Shad could "see" through the veil the sad expression on her face as she lowered her head.
"It is indeed a bit tiring."
He responded in his heart, and then saw that the lady actually nodded slightly, which made him suspect that these dead souls at this moment could probably directly read his thoughts.
"Long time no see. You sacrificed for justice, please allow me to express my respect."
The last person to speak was Miss Shelly Knight, who was standing next to Shad's left leg.
Her appearance was the most unexpected for Shade. In the fifth era, in the gravel sea, the mortal Miss Knight swung the "Sword of Light" as a "newborn witch" to completely purify the desert worms, and also led herself to the final end.
He never thought that he would see this female knight again.
The bright silver light of the dark moon illuminated the luxurious and exquisite armor she was wearing. The silver-blue pattern spread on the breastplate, arm armor and skirt armor, and thus flashed a strange light. This was her attire before death.
The female knight put her left hand on her right shoulder and bowed slightly to Shade, and her unbound gray-white short hair slid down from her ears.
At this time, if the black cat mother and daughter were also counted as a "person", then there were five people in five directions surrounding Shade who was lying quietly in front of the dark moon.
He didn't know why these people appeared at this time, and outsiders didn't fully understand death.
He just felt that it was great to have so many familiar people in the world after death - including Ivan Darkness.
No one spoke anymore, and Shade could only lie there quietly, watching souls passing by him one after another and then walking away. He seemed to be quite deep in the dark waters at this moment, because the silver moon above his head was larger and brighter than any time he had seen before.
The light illuminated the six souls standing, and because the black cat mother and daughter were very short, it could also illuminate Shade lying on the water.
The thousands of souls left them one by one, and only they seemed to remain unchanged forever. Incomparably silent, incomparably solemn, and incomparably sacred, no oil painting could depict the scene that Shade "saw" at this moment, so he calmed down.
"The God of Cats should leave, he doesn't belong here!"
Suddenly, the voice of the little black cat came again from above his head, followed by the "meow~" voice of the slightly older female cat.
"Yes, he should leave here, and there are people who love him waiting for him."
Hela Osenfurt, who was next to Shade's right leg, said softly, and part of the light in her soul penetrated into Shade's body.
[Outlander, you have received a temporary blessing: the effects of Thaumaturgy-Thorn of Eros and Thaumaturgy-Mystique·Clock Tower Lovers have been enhanced. ]
"Don't let the people you love wait for you too long, otherwise, their hearts will turn to stone."
"Shad Hamilton, since you have decided to inherit everything from me, don't die so quickly. I forgive you for disturbing me several times, but at least live longer and continue the wonderful life of 'Grey Eagle'."
Spyro Hamilton, who was on the right side of Shad, said, and pressed his hat, and part of the light in his soul also penetrated into Shad's body.
[Outlander, you have received a temporary blessing: immune to all instant death effects. ]
"Life is short, Shad, go and see more for me."
"Yes, of course he should leave."
The voice of the "Dark" Chosen on Shad's left was hoarse and gloomy. It was obvious that Ivan Darkness and Shad could not be friends. There was a cruel smile on his cold face, and his words were still as strange as before:
"Death is not the worst ending for him. I look forward to his surprised expression when he reaches the end of the story and sees the darkest ending he has chosen for himself."
The purest darkness that constitutes a part of his soul dripped into Shade's soul.
[Stranger, you have obtained the pure power that the "chosen one of darkness" voluntarily shared. ]
[Stranger, you feel the "miracle". ]
The dark moon seems to be brighter at this moment.
[The deep night is composed of death, darkness and the moon. The old ballads were sung in the silence of the night in the most ancient era. Now the sun is still there, the moon is still there, and the distant ballads echoing under the moon at night are still telling the story of you and me. This is the deepest story. ]
[Stranger, you listened to the old stories, and you learned the miracles of the ancient night. ]
[Stranger, you engraved the golden miracle spirit rune-night. 】
"Huh?"
[Outlander, the purest power of the dark chosen, the death stained by the soul and your moonlight constitute a "miracle". 】
[You can use this miracle after waking up. 】
"What? Wait a minute, how can these souls be so powerful? Isn't Sparrow Hamilton an ordinary person? Also, are the dark chosen so powerful? When Marilyn Handel was able to absorb the curse, I was already very surprised. The miracle you mentioned is not..."
"She" is really gentle, just like the dark moon that illuminates everyone at this moment:
[They are not only souls, but also death itself. 】
"Leave, Shade, the Moon Bay of the Sixth Epoch is still waiting for your salvation. If your persistence is still the same as it was back then, please go back, the world still needs you."
The female knight Miss Knight, who was next to Shade's left leg, said, she bent down and put the long sword with silver-blue enamel decoration that she had given to Shade in the sand sea into Shade's two hands together.
[Outlander, you have received a temporary blessing from a hero who once saved the world: holding a specific sword, justice will be with you. ]
"Justice does not need to be recognized, the world will recognize what you have done."
