Bong! Bong! Bong!
A series of explosive ringing of the Requiem Clock finally forced out the black figure lurking in the lady’s corpse. That was still a black shadow, but a woman’s contour was visible.
She furiously screamed, “Abomination! How dare you ruin my important business?! Go to hell!”
The black shadow directly rushed toward Alex. However, Alex had the Requiem Clock in his hand. This was a holy Buddhist tool, and it shocked the black shadow to the point virtual-novel.net soul trembled, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t stop screaming.
Then, virtual-novel.net ran, rushing out of the dream world.
Alex also sensed that the scene before virtual-novel.net was changing. He had escaped the dream world and returned to the deepest part of the spider lair, standing in the chilly water pool.
“Shirley Hancock, wake up!”
Alex grabbed virtual-novel.net hand and pulled virtual-novel.net away from that strange tree.
Shirley woke up and shook virtual-novel.net head. “What’s wrong with me?”
Alex said, “Your soul was almost possessed. This tree is strange. Hurry up and leave this water pool.”
However, the strange tree in the windless pool of water started moving on its own.
The green glow on its leaves fluctuated with greater intensity, like rotating neon lights. Eventually, all the green lights converged into a green chain, binding Alex at once. That black figure reappeared, flying out as virtual-novel.net shouted, “Die!”
That was still the lady’s black shadow.
This time, virtual-novel.net unexpectedly rushed into Alex’s soul. She spoke in a strange accent as if virtual-novel.net was a foreigner speaking English. However, this was a soul state where virtual-novel.net could sense the other party’s soul thoughts. Even if virtual-novel.net did not understand virtual-novel.net accent, virtual-novel.net could perceive the meaning from virtual-novel.net soul state.
“I’ve waited for countless centuries, and finally, a suitable human has come!” virtual-novel.net growled. “I’ll never give up! I want to return! I want to go to the Pool of the Afterlife! Whoever dares to block me shall die!”
Alex was surprised. This woman’s speech revealed a lot of information.
Return where?
The pool of the Afterlife?
What were those?
However, virtual-novel.net did not have time to think because the black female shadow had opened virtual-novel.net mouth wide and tried to devour Alex’s soul. Before virtual-novel.net could do anything, what virtual-novel.net saw next stunned her.
She saw a bridge.
She also saw a lively little girl in red with classical temperament in red standing on the bridge. The ancient bridge was bloodstained and exuded vicissitudes and sorrow over the years. She even saw a stone tablet standing next to the ancient bridge.
Three words were written on it, Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
As Shelly stood on the bridge with virtual-novel.net back facing the woman, virtual-novel.net softly chanted…
“Forgotten River by Persephone’s Folly Bridge!”
“Neither is there right or wrong in life, neither merit nor demerit in death!”
“You could have lived a decent life, yet you’ve chosen to bring demise upon yourself!”
The woman was finally moved. She looked at the ancient bridge in horror and exclaimed, “One of the three artifacts of the Infernal Hell, Persephone’s Folly Bridge?”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, a rusty chain rushed out of Persephone’s Folly Bridge and shackled the woman’s soul.
It was simply too simple a process. She had walked right into the trap!
“Wait, don’t kill virtual-novel.net first. I want to know this person’s origin,” Alex hurriedly tried to prevent Shelly from killing this person.
The woman whose soul had been shackled by the iron chain was scared witless. However, from Alex’s tone, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net needed information before killing her.
She pretended to be tough. “Hmph, you want to get information out of me? Impossible, unless you let me out, and we can make a fair deal.”
Alex shook his head. “You’re not qualified to make a deal with me in my territory.”
As Alex said that, virtual-novel.net went forward and gently pressed his palm on virtual-novel.net head. He activated the Soul Searching Art.
When Alex searched virtual-novel.net memory fragments, virtual-novel.net found some descriptions about this world. It was then that virtual-novel.net shouted, “Crap!”
