There are still three hours until Nesse's agreed transmission time, and five hours until Beelzebub's army is dispatched.
Soul residue continued to fall off Yicha's chest like snacks, but he had no time to care because he had been thinking about various things.
Wangchuan can only be reached through the "road".
The "road" is difficult to walk.
Although there are no academic books specifically mentioning this, based on his own summary after his last unexpected visit, Icha believes that All Roads of Comeniti can definitely be regarded as an official organization - a letter to correct this has been sent out , but the arrogant author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Chaos and Hell" did not reply.
In Comeniti, as long as the soul steps into any official institution, it will instantly enter a special environment that belongs only to this institution, and at the same time, it will be governed by the unique rules of this institution.
Such as the "three-eye registration" of the "front desk", the six rays of sunlight and the "drying procedure" of the "balcony", the spatial vector energy field of the "mirror room", the "screening" rule of the "mattress", and the "atonement" of the "Double Plank Bridge Tap Dance Sextet" - out of tune, forgetting the words, wrong beat, taking the part, unsteady on foot, wrong steps, stepping on the foot of the soul next to me, sore knees, the atonement pole in my hand is tilted to the left... Each of these reflects a different crime of the erring soul (it is worth mentioning that this punishment must be very fair, because no soul who has been wiped out for this has raised any objection.)
This is true.
"All Roads" also has its own environmental forces and rules.
In Comeniti, "road" not only refers to the ordinary road on the ground in the general concept, but also includes the entire space that spreads upward infinitely.
As long as you move on the "road", just like walking through the soft and thick snow that reaches the top, you will definitely leave traces.
"It's like sailing on a lava filled with slag, isn't it..." Naruf rubbed his chin after listening to Icha's story.
"It's okay to understand it this way." Yi Cha shrugged, "If there are souls that should not appear and move continuously in it, and the accumulated 'abnormalities' reach a certain level, a signal will be sent to the "Welfare Center". According to the level of the abnormality, Law enforcement officers of the corresponding level will be dispatched. This is common to all official agencies."
"What is a 'soul that shouldn't appear'?" Diavolo asked.
"Good question. Us." Icha replied.
"Then let's just knock those law enforcers away. Hey! Where's the ribbon you used before? Give me one." Naruf said simply.
"You can't touch that."
"The Last Rainbow" is used as a law enforcement weapon for supervision. When encountering the demon's soul of disorder, it will automatically become noisy and have the same effect as being stunned. Only the shadow of the angelic person of Cha can be used.
"With bare hands... what should I do?"
"Run, I'm the fastest runner." Diavolo interrupted.
"If the law enforcement level is low, we should be able to cope with it. We can clean up the wake in time, and we can add some interference to confuse them. As long as we don't cause abnormalities at the Bootes level or above, and the 'Welfare Center' doesn't send out humble gardeners, everything will be easy. ."
Yi Cha squatted down and carved out a scribbled map on the gray ground.
"To be specific, we need to ask Diavolo to take us to the Shady Grassland, the scumbag organization closest to the Forgotten River. Then we just need to pass through here through the 'road'——"
He pointed to a circle on the map that divided the "road" in two.
"This is the 'Fresh Turntable', the last official institution standing between us and Wangchuan. As long as we can pass through here in the normal way and pass the last 'road', we can reach Wangchuan."
"Easy! Set sail!" Naluf said.
"Okay." Yi Cha smiled, "There is another very, very important rule in the 'road', please remember it."
"What rules?" Naruf chuckled, "I'll listen to it first, and then I'll see if I should abide by it."
"The rule is no turning back. Not once. Not under any circumstances."
"What will happen if I turn back? I have to turn back?"
"Turning back in the 'road' will be judged as the highest level of abnormality. In Gamenity, normally processed souls are arranged in a direction and will not look back. Only abnormal ones like us will turn back."
Yi Cha sighed and stood up. "If you insist on turning back, there are two possibilities. The first is to turn back on the 'road' and be taken away directly by the 'Safe Hand', the highest-level law enforcer dispatched by the 'Welfare Institute' - I can't help you at all. You and the other one may be knocked unconscious by me now and then taken away."
He pulled out "The Last Rainbow" with a "swish" in his hand. "Guess what might happen?"
"Farewell. Sorry. Old Naruf hasn't lived enough yet." Naruf shook his head, "I won't look back."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with knocking you out. It's pretty much the same."
"I like to see the scenery!"
Yi Cha thought for a moment and took back the rainbow. "All right."
"What about me?" Diavolo pulled Yi Cha's arm, and Yi Cha felt it was time to teach her to raise her hands to ask questions.
"Better not," he replied. "Let's go now. To the Shady Meadow."
…
…
Shady grass. There is no grass.
Diavolo stretched out his head and looked at the gray and brown dividing line between the "shady meadows" and "all the roads."
"You go in the middle." Yi Cha motioned her to go back. "Naruf goes first."
"Then how do we take care of each other? Why don't we walk in parallel?" Naruf asked.
"It's just like the geese of misfortune flying in a line. We line up in a line and only cause one soul to move abnormally in the 'road'. I am at the end responsible for eliminating the wake. In addition, there is no need to look after each other, take care of yourself."
Narufo thought for a second, then exclaimed, "Man! You're just as smart as my first mate, and you only have one head!"
"We can set off." Icha said.
"Let's set off. Let's not look back. Let's sail to a new hell." Naruf muttered.
…
They march in single file against a flat brown background.
This is a little more difficult than imagined - there are some ordered space vectors used to transport souls in each "road", which will push them in one direction - but it is still manageable.
The vector direction of this "road" is now backwards. Therefore, from time to time, a few ordinary demon souls with blank expressions and unswerving eyes floated from the front, and then flowed past them like dark clouds.
It is generally noisy at this time.
Some souls will unconsciously repeat the last sound they made before they died. This is called "last words."
Such as the bubble sound of blood blocking the trachea, the choking sound of struggling under the iron water, screams and roars. There are also rare, high-spirited last words, such as "It was delicious" and "What does this button do?"
"It's best not to hit any ordinary souls on the road, which will escalate the abnormality."
Yi Cha was at the end of the line, using "Last Rainbow" to blur the trail of progress while shouting a reminder.
