Plural Apostles

"Different from all kinds of conjectures about the afterlife world that mortals have due to the fear of death, such as rewarding good and punishing evil, reincarnation, etc., these do not exist in the underworld of the empire. The underworld is simply a universe. Institutions for the recovery of intelligent life after natural death, when intelligent life dies, that is, when it cannot maintain a clear state of mind with the help of itself and others, it will be led by Wangchuan to the local hell."

"The structure of most intelligent life, whether it is matter or elements, the body is the body, the soul is the soul, the mind is the mind, the body is the shell of the soul, and the soul is the shell of the mind consciousness. Although some races are slightly different, but in general The judgment of life is like this, the body is something that interacts with the material world, the soul is the intermediary that connects the body and the mind, and the mind is the integration of the memory, personality, etc. of an intelligent life that represent its existence.”

"For mortals, no matter which part comes to an end, it is the so-called death of mortals, but it is not the case for higher-level empires. The death of many mortals is that the body has come to an end, lost the body, and the soul is fast. Dissipated, the mind fell into chaos and gradually lost, and finally dissipated completely under natural circumstances, at that time it was the death certified by the empire, and there was no room for recovery."

"Wang Chuan stabilizes and dissipates souls, leading the dead souls to the underworld, and the underworld stores these things and strips the souls... In fact, the soul is just a kind of derived spiritual power aggregate. The soul energy that contains wisdom, life, emotion and personality will be destroyed They are collected by category and used as reserves, and the mind representing the existence of an intelligent life is stored and put into a created illusion. When everything in these minds disappears with time, it means that after the intelligent life is completely dead, the remnants of the death of the mind will be removed. Collect and summarize."

"The difference between wild animals and intelligent life is the soul. If there is a lack of population in a certain universe, or a lack of population in some areas, then these reserves must be used and put into designated areas to give birth to wild animals that gradually become wise. It is the so-called reincarnation, so before reincarnation and after reincarnation, strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with it.”

Misheng took Siegfried and Yae Sakura to the reincarnation office, and explained the work of the underworld while walking: "The life of a mortal is very fragile, especially the life of a short-lived mortal. After all, we are responsible for the work between life and death, so we must grasp the scale well, and there are many kinds of illusions left in the mind, which can best meet the various needs of the mind."

Siegfried touched his nose: "Is this called eating a full meal before dying?"

"This is called a normal transaction. Isn't it better to live enough to die in the illusion than to disappear naturally in a hazy state? After all, the underworld wants to collect ashes of the soul, so naturally it has to compensate for it. We don’t need this kind of project, but we are a formal department, not evil ways.” Misheng took Siegfried and Yae Sakura into a house, which was a hall with light blue lines like blood vessels on the walls, “Many The ephemeral species all shout to live forever, but mortals are still mortals."

"Many mortals' minds die faster than their bodies. Even if some bodies die and can still maintain the desire to live, but only a few hundred years, the mind dies. The mind that can live forever and live for a certain period of time, our underworld Generally, they will be asked if they are willing to end the karma of the past, if the other party is willing, they will be resurrected and recruited as an employee, if the other party is not willing, then let the other party go."

Misheng came to a huge, computer-like thing in the hall: "After all, if the mind only lives by certain obsessions, it cannot be recruited as an employee, otherwise some accidents will definitely occur one day, and this hell It has been established for so long, and now there are only five employees, and this underworld is responsible for receiving intelligent life that died naturally in this universe, you can think about the proportion."

"Five employees?" Siegfried touched his chin, "Does that mean no one came here to apply?"

"...not only that no one came, there are very few people like you who come here to do business." Weisheng sighed, and said firmly, "But I will definitely be rich."

Siegfried twitched the corners of his mouth... Do you think too much? This Yan Luo, the work of the underworld is like this, so there is nothing to improve at all, and the universe is so big, how unlucky the universe is to face the problem of population shortage?And how many of these universes will be destroyed naturally?

The most unpromising department in the empire, the most poor department in the empire... It's the underworld.

Yae Sakura didn't think about these things, she was thinking about Misa's words... Even those people she cares about are just mortals, even if they are special in her eyes, they are still mortals... And it has been five hundred years, and How many can keep their hearts alive?Or maybe not at all...

After operating in front of the computer for a while, Misheng turned his head and said calmly: "Unfortunately, Siegfried, the person you are looking for is dead, and his heart has been turned into ashes. Accept his disappearance, and there is no possibility of resurrection, Yae Sakura, the person you are looking for, except for one, is already dead."

"...Well, it's quite expected." Siegfried was very unrestrained. "For the empire, resurrecting a person has never been difficult, and lifespan is not difficult. The difficult thing is that the resurrected person no longer wants to live."

Yae Sakura was a little nervous: "That... the person I'm looking for, the one who didn't die is..."

Weisheng said with some doubts: "Karen Kaslana, according to the records, the underworld did not receive her death remnant, and for some reason, she came into contact with something and broke away from the world's records. It's kind of weird..."

Siegfried nodded in anticipation: "It's not weird, I can completely confirm where she is now."

"..." Yae Sakura couldn't express her feelings...

Happy, a little bit, sad, also a little bit, fortunate, a little bit, regretful, a little bit...

"By the way, before the soul dies, we will leave each other's last words. Whether it is useful or not, this is the last respect and record for an intelligent life. Come and see for yourself." Weisheng said aloud, "The truth If there are acquaintances in the world, we will also include them in an environment. After all, we also look forward to some people who can be spiritually refined, but it is a pity that mortals are mortals, whether they were emperors, generals, talented scholars or beautiful women. It's the same after death."

The two came to Misheng with different moods, and saw that Misheng manipulated the things in front of him, and then a holographic projection appeared in front of him, playing the last picture of those people before they died.

The first thing that appeared was a pair of old people sitting on a deck chair. The faint sunlight and the shallow lawn, the two old people seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, as if they were enjoying the sunshine, and they seemed to be dying naturally.

Yae Sakura frowned and looked carefully, but didn't find anything familiar to her... Are these Siegfried's parents? !Realizing this, she looked at Siegfried.

"Oh, so this is what my parents look like when they get old." Siegfried looked at the couple of old people in the picture with a calm expression.

Projection not only has pictures, but also sounds.

"Do you two have any last words to say?"

In a peaceful and plain voice, a gray-haired old man slightly opened his clear eyes, and a smile appeared on his old face: "How happy is life? Why bother to die? The sunset is like a drop in the ocean."

Another old man answered with a smile: "There is no happiness in life, and there is no suffering in death. The laws of nature recur, and there are countless in the world."

"Ha, Mom and Dad are still so flirtatious, but they are not as good as me." Siegfried smiled.

Saying this, the appearance of the two old men returned to their youthful appearance, which is a flashback of their souls that are about to die...

"Oh, it turns out that mortals are mortals, we still overestimate ourselves, and sometimes the boundary between illusion and truth doesn't make much sense." Qi Lu, who looks like an ordinary young man, pushed his glasses, "Lobo, do we still have another one?" Is the child coming?"

"Didn't God say it? The time spent in the spirit is related to the soul. The older you are, the closer you are to death, the faster the time will feel. I'll do the math. The real time has probably passed more than ten years. We I've lived enough." Wearing a dress, Luo Bo, who vaguely smelled of first love, smiled softly, "Xiao Fei is probably grown up now, so let's fall in love."

"Well... I don't have anything to say at first, but when Xiaofei comes here in the future, it feels good to see it, so let's leave some words." Qilu thought for a while and said, "Xiaofei, I asked you when I was a child, what is your future? What do you want to do, you said that a man should carry a three-foot sword and establish an invincible harem, I personally support you, if you see it, remember to tell me how many girlfriends you have found."

"Oh?" Luo Bo seemed startled, "Didn't Xiao Fei say when he was a child that he would marry and have children in the future, be a prodigal son in the world, and enjoy his life in peace?"

Both of them seemed to be taken aback, then smiled again.

After all, to them, none of these seemed to make much sense.

"In the next life...forget it, this life is enough with you." Qi Lu smiled, "It is enough to die here."

The corner of Luo Bo's mouth slightly raised a soft smile: "Yes...it's consummated, too much is too late, this life is enough."

"I've been wanting to talk about you for a long time. We're all married. Can we not become literary once in a while?"

"...Then how about it, don't talk, kiss me?"

Snapped!Siegfried calmly slapped Yae Sakura's eyes: "Kids, don't look at it."

"You are the child!" Yae Sakura patted Siegfried's palm away angrily, but the projection about Siegfried's parents had already been played.

"I'll go out for a while, Sakura, come out after you finish watching."

Yae Sakura looked at Siegfried's back, then turned to look at the old man who appeared on the projection: "...Rin."

When he came outside the house, Siegfried took out a cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time from his pocket, and lit it with a calm expression.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Facts have proved that not all the minds of intelligent beings are in a peaceful state when they die. Among the minds of the underworld, some are like Qi Lu and Luo Bo who have lived enough and died, and some have fallen into the other side. Emotions, madness or doubts, such as thinking that the underworld is an evil institution, such as the mind falling into chaos, etc. These are another kind of death of the mind.
