Chapter 2474 Before the Dark Moon
"Cat God! Cat God! Open your eyes, Cat God!"
My consciousness seemed to be swallowed up by eternal darkness, but it also seemed like I had just taken a long and comfortable nap.
When Shad realized that someone seemed to be calling him with a strange name, all his external senses returned at this moment.
He felt as if he was lying down, but every part of his body could not be controlled by his thoughts. The childish but anxious voice came from beside his face, and it seemed that something was licking him.
"It's Mia, right?"
But he immediately denied this guess, because the weak and greedy cat could not speak and rarely licked its face.
"What happened just now?"
Until this moment, memories came flooding back to my mind: the burning moon bay, the changed days and nights, Miss Isabella's gentle but cold power, and the fierce attack of the evil god entrenched in the sacrificial field.
He was somewhat dazed in the darkness:
"I'm not dead?"
Her voice is still gentle:
【Three drops of divinity are still in your soul. You shouldn't die so easily before they disappear.】
But there seems to be some helplessness in the gentleness:
[Next time, don’t do this.]
"I didn't mean to do this, I just... Luvia would probably be very angry, right?"
His eyes still couldn't be controlled to open, but at this moment, he could sense the surrounding environment. The amazing thing was that even if he opened his eyes, he could only see upwards when lying on his back, but Xia De felt that he could see everything around him at 360 degrees without blind spots.
Below him was the calm and dark waters. He just lay on the water, with his legs together and straight, and his hands clasped together and placed on his body. All around him, countless figures emitting pure white light were slowly walking towards the direction above his head with some distortion.
Not far in front of Xia De's head, the huge silver moon half-sunken in the water illuminated him with his closed eyes with its cold light.
"I"
[Fake death, you are seriously injured, it will take some time. 】
A brief pause:
[There is no concept of time here, so you don’t have to worry about the world of the living.]
"Cat God, you are awake! Mother, Cat God is awake!"
As Xia De sensed the outside world, he heard familiar whispers again in his ears.
Then, Xia De "saw" that the soul of the black cat he had helped in Yuewan City stopped licking his face, and instead pounced on the older black female cat standing in front of Xia De's head.
This cat was the one Shade had seen when he was bidding farewell to the little black cat's soul. It had been licking its paws, but now it was hugging its daughter, but it didn't speak.
The light of the dark moon illuminated the mother and daughter's jet-black hair. In their soul state, they did not become pure white and transparent like the other souls that passed by Shade, but the color of their bodies was much more monotonous.
"Cat God, are you okay?"
The naive kitten asked while being hugged by its mother. It wanted to stretch out its claws to him, but was stopped by its mother.
Shad wanted to answer the cat's question, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"He's fine, he just needs to rest."
What's amazing is that before this new voice appeared, Shad didn't notice at all that Sparrow Hamilton, who was wearing a brown deerstalker hat and holding the cane that Shad 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. Xia De wanted to say "Sorry, it's not me who wanted to disturb you this time", but he still couldn't open his mouth.
The detective just looked down at him, shook his head and sighed:
"Really? I thought it would take some time before I could see you here."
The huge dark moon also cast its light on him as he stood on the water. Sparrow Hamilton had no shadow like the cats.
"Death is definitely not the worst outcome for him."
A voice also came from the left side. Ivan Darkness, the chosen one of "Darkness", was standing there, also looking down at him. Similarly, before the long-dead chosen one spoke, Shade also didn't realize that he was there too.
Ivan Darkness still wore the red glove on his right hand that was used to cover the "devil's mouth", and there was a scarlet light in his eyes.
Xia De 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 made of pus from the "Human Pus" and was wriggling.
"You're tired, aren't you?"
A hollow and sad voice sounded, and Hela Osenfurt, who was wearing a black veil, asked while standing next to Shade's right leg. She was still wearing a black gauze dress that symbolized death. With the help of the bright moonlight, Shade could "see" through the veil the sad expression on her face as she lowered her head.
“It’s a bit tiring indeed.”
He responded in his heart, and then saw that the lady actually nodded slightly, which made him suspect that at this moment these dead souls could probably directly understand what he was thinking.
"It's been a long time. You sacrificed your life for justice. Please allow me to pay my respects."
The last person to speak was Miss Shelly Knight, who was standing next to Shad's left leg.
Her appearance was the most surprising to Shade. In the gravel sand sea of the Fifth Era, the mortal Miss Knight swung the "Sword of Light" in the posture of 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 patterns spread on the breastplate, arm armor and skirt armor, and they flashed with strange light. This was the attire she wore before her death.
The female knight placed her left hand on her right shoulder and bowed slightly to Shade, causing her untied short gray hair to fall from her ears.
If the black cat mother and daughter are also counted as one "person" at this moment, then there are five people in five directions surrounding Xia De who is lying quietly in front of the dark moon.
He didn't know why these people appeared at this time, and the outsiders didn't fully understand death.
He just felt that it was great to have so many familiar faces in the afterlife, including Ivan Darkness.
No one spoke anymore, and Shade could only lie there quietly, watching souls pass by him one after another and walk away. He seemed to be quite deep in the dark waters at this moment, because the silver moon above his head was bigger and brighter than any time he had seen it before.
The light illuminated the six standing souls, and because the black cat mother and daughter were very short, it was also able to illuminate Shad who was lying on the water.
Thousands of souls left them one by one, and only they seemed to remain unchanged forever. It was extremely quiet, extremely solemn, and extremely sacred. No oil painting could describe the scene that Xia De "saw" at this moment, and he became calm.
"It's time for the Cat God to leave. He doesn't belong here!"
Suddenly, the voice of the little black cat came from above my head again, followed by the "meow" of a slightly larger female cat.
"Yes, it's time for him to leave here. There are people who love him waiting for him."
Hela Osenfurt, who was standing next to Shad's right leg, spoke softly, and part of the light in her soul penetrated into Shad's body.
[Outsider, you have obtained a temporary blessing: the effects of Thaumaturgy-Thorns of Eros and Thaumaturgy-Mystery Lock·Clock Tower Lovers have been enhanced.]
"Don't make the ones you love wait for you too long, or their hearts will turn to stone."
"Shad Hamilton, since you have decided to inherit everything from me, please don't die so soon. I forgive you for disturbing me several times, but at least live longer and continue the wonderful life of 'Grey Eagle'."
Sparrow Hamilton, who was on Shad's right, said this, clicking his hat, and part of the light in his soul also penetrated into Shad's body.
[Outsider, you have obtained a temporary blessing: immune to all instant death effects. ]
"Life is short, Shade, go see more for me."
"Yes, of course he should leave."
The voice of the "dark" chosen one on Shade's left was hoarse and gloomy. It was obvious that Ivan Darkness and Shade 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 possible outcome 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 was part of his soul dripped into Shad's soul.
[Outsider, you have gained the pure power that the "Dark Chosen One" voluntarily shared. ]
[Outlander, you have experienced a "miracle". 】
The dark moon seemed even brighter at this moment.
[The deep night is made up of death, darkness and the moon. The old ballads were sung in the silence of the night in the most ancient times. 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 have listened to the stories of the past, and you have learned about the miracles of the ancient night.]
[Stranger, you have engraved the golden miracle spirit rune - Night. ]
"what?"
[Stranger, the purest power of the chosen one of darkness, 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 come these souls are so powerful? Isn't Sparrow Hamilton an ordinary person? Also, are the dark chosen ones so powerful? I was already surprised when Marilyn Handel was able to absorb the curse. The miracle you mentioned can't be..."
“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 Era is still waiting for your salvation. If you are still as persistent as you were back then, please go back. The world still needs you."
The female knight Miss Knight, who was standing next to Shad's left leg, said this. She bent down and placed the long sword decorated with silver-blue enamel that she had given to Shad in the sea of sand in Shad's two hands.
[Outsider, you have received a temporary blessing from a hero who once saved the world: holding a specific long sword, justice will be with you. ]
“Justice doesn’t require recognition, the world will recognize what you do.”
