…
dark.
Endless darkness.
Darkness beyond reach.
A darkness that swallows up all noise and light.
"It's the familiar near-death experience again, old man, I'm back!"
Walking in this familiar yet unfamiliar darkness, feeling the constant cramping from his heart, this familiar sense of emptiness and fear made George deeply moved.
As for who the old guy George mentioned? In fact, it is no one. To be more precise, it is a fictional character created by George himself. Because in the world of near-death experiences, George's concept of time will be infinitely stretched. In order to prevent his consciousness from being swallowed up by this world, he has developed this not so good habit since unknown time.
"Old man, let me tell you, today we had a fight with the legendary demon general..."
George walked around aimlessly, saying a few words when he was tired, and taking a few steps when he was tired. In this way, garrulous words came out of George's mouth one after another, ranging from stories about the earth to interesting anecdotes about other worlds, from recent news to memories of the past.
However, I couldn't get a single reply in this world.
It's not that he hasn't thought about walking out of this void of darkness, but it's a pity that the body that originally belonged to George is now like an infinitely huge cage, and George's self-consciousness is like a ghost trapped inside, I can't see, hear, or touch. I don't even know where I'm going, let alone walking out.
Of course, George is not without means to fight back. At this time, his telepathic talent has become the only means that can give him hope. Just like a sonar in the deep sea, George kept exploring his surroundings and asking for help through the spiritual power of his telepathic talent.
However, it failed to gain even the slightest echo in this world.
After walking and talking, George finally got tired. In addition to the painful cramping feeling from his heart that made George feel the fact that he was alive, what was the difference between this world and the world after death?
"Damn, I really want to dig out my heart!"
It is not that George has not investigated the source of this angina pectoris, but unfortunately no matter how he investigates, he cannot know the cause. The only thing that can be concluded is that this pain must be related to the "hand of death" cast by Emperor Gaudos. "related!
"Is this the punishment of Emperor Gaudos? Is this the punishment for my attack on the demon general of the empire? Come on, I'm ready. Face me head-on and let me die more happily!"
Thinking of this, George simply gave up and stopped in his tracks, lying flat on the ground, waiting for death to come.
However, he did not wait for death, but waited for the arrival of another "uninvited guest".
"Hey, young man, are you dead? If you are not dead, take two steps!"
In a daze, a weak voice waved to George.
"Who? Who's there?!"
Panic and excitement flashed through every inch of George's nerves. He stood up in a jiffy. After looking around, he finally discovered that in the darkness not far from him, there was a weak flame flickering red.
Regardless of whether there was any danger, George approached the flame almost as fast as he could! Then, George carefully stretched out his hand, fearing that if he moved too much, he would accidentally extinguish the flame like a wind candle.
The moment he touched the flame, a sudden change occurred! A scorching white light flashed past, directly covering George's field of vision!
"This monotonous world is really boring. Young man, come and chat with me for a while!"
