Doomsday volcano, this is Merlin waking up in hell, looking at the black volcano that is constantly emitting smoke and magma.
The life on this waste soil calls it "The Doomsday Volcano".
Although it does not bring any end to this land, it is a conventional name for "locals".
Just as they all call this place "waste soil".
"Look! There, the Hell Gate you are looking for!"
Beneath the Doomsday volcano, on a barren depression filled with various twisted corpses.
Constantine leaned over the dead fisheye, raised his hand, and said to Merlin:
"A bronze gate, everyone said that you can leave this wasteland by walking there."
"But I tell you, it's impossible."
Zakang took a jug with wine from his arms, under the sky with ashes.
While twisting the kettle, he said to Merlin who was silent around him:
"That's just the worst of countless nonsense lies in this world..."
"Not going out."
Constantine took a sip and leaned comfortably on the warm mane cushion of the scorpion that the two were riding.
It's like relying on a burning fireplace to make people feel sleepy.
This horrible creature has a lion-like body, covered with scorpion-like scales, and has a tail like a scorpion in the tail.
It is cruel in nature, has its own lair in the wild, is full of brute force, and has deadly poison. Most demons and wandering ghosts here will not provoke it.
But it has a good relationship with Zaccom.
Because Zakang provides it with enough fresh meat every week.
This allows it to eat and drink without leaving the nest, and after a few years of maintenance, this scorpion lion has become Zakang's "bodyguard".
To do business with those things in this wasteland, it is not enough to rely on evil wisdom and insidious tricks, and the necessary force is also necessary.
Zakang, he is not a fighting faction.
But he is very good at "making friends".
This is the surviving way in which the ghost of Zakang can live in the waste soil, and lives very moist.
Of course, there is also a rumor that when Zakang first reached the wasteland, he embraced a powerful succubus leg and relied on selling the hue to barely survive the most difficult time.
Anyway, true and false news is never lacking in this place, and no one will pay attention to it.
The scorpion lion is a scary creature, and few people are bold enough to stand on the head of the scorpion lion.
But now, Merlin is standing there, looking at the end of the volcano and the gate of hell.
The scorpion lion dared not even make an angry voice.
It can only raise its head and make Merlin stand taller and see farther.
Its beast instinct is telling it that if Merlin is upset, its right to survival will be stripped.
"A door that has been pushed open..."
In Merlin's vision, he could clearly see the bronze gate at the end of the black ash plain.
Many strange patterns were carved on the door, which looked like murals depicting the endless war between heaven and hell, but those murals were already covered with ashes and dust.
The door is square and square, and it looks heavy at first glance, and the most wonderful thing is that it has been pushed away.
The two doors stood there staggered, and a ray of white light emerged from the crack of the door.
It feels like it is, as long as you reach out and push gently, the heavy door will be pushed open.
A path to freedom will also appear in front of the explorer.
A temptation.
A temptation of relief.
It is in stark contrast to this full of chaos and crazy twists, so that anyone who sees it will have an impulse in his heart.
An urge to run to that door and truly embrace freedom.
Zakang is right.
That door is probably just a scam, a bad joke.
But there must be a reason why it stands there.
Merlin held his chin, his eyes shining with thought. In the past 7 months, he had walked everywhere in this hell, every place where there would be legends about freedom.
He killed many creatures and destroyed many caves.
All he searched for was a disappointment.
He has a feeling.
Here is my hope to leave the wasteland...
That door...
Maybe a special method is needed to...
But he still has no clue.
"Go."
Merlin reached out and patted on Zakang's cheeks, who had fallen asleep, to awaken the guy.
He stomped his feet, and the scorpion lion snarled softly before turning around, turning his tail, lifting his limbs, and running towards the Zakang bar.
A thick layer of ash splashed on the ground, and another sky fire fell in the sky, just like a blood rain fell on this land.
This is a strange sight.
But Merlin had long ignored it.
"I said, why did you kill those horned demon?"
Zakang leaned on the cushion behind the scorpion lion. While playing with the hip flask in his hand, he curiously asked:
"I have dealt with the group of horned devil before. They are only kings on the pier of the Nuhe Shouhe River, monopolizing the business of the Styx. They are not as fierce as other local gangs."
"Actually, as long as they pay a small fee, they are happy to send you across the river. I'm curious, how did they irritate you?"
"Why do you still hate it...throwing souls into the Styx, they will never be reborn again."
"Oh, that thing."
Merlin was sitting next to Jaccon. He took the jug from Jaccon. While drinking spicy wine, he turned to look at the endless wasteland beside him.
He said flatly:
"That thing was an accident."
"Just listen to it."
Zhai Kang said boringly:
"You dragged me out of my tavern and made me unable to do business. You have to give me some compensation. Tell me about it."
"They asked me for money to cross the river."
Merlin said dryly:
"I just came to this ghost place at the time and didn't understand the rules. I asked them if they could be replaced with other things. I didn't have any soul gold coins."
"They said they could... originally, things were over."
Merlin whispered:
"Unfortunately, they chose something I would never give them."
"What do they want?"
Constantine looked at Merlin's slightly thin body with interest. He said:
"I heard that there are females in those horned devil, they shouldn't..."
"Why are you dead or so sloppy?"
Merlin glared at Zhan Kang.
He was silent for a moment, he said:
"They asked me for memories."
"Oh, memory! Right!"
Zakang snapped his fingers and said:
"The horned demon lord over there is a lunatic. It likes to watch different stories and stores the memories of those victims, just like watching a movie... then give them chant."
Jang Kang spread his hands, he said:
"Memory is the source of pain, less memory, more happiness."
"that is you!"
Merlin said in a weak tone:
"I have lost everything. I only live by memory. Those good, bad, happy, unfortunate, are all mine... no one wants to take it away!"
"So you killed them?"
Zakang pouted, he said in an exaggerated tone:
"Just because of an excessive request, you slaughtered an entire Horn Devil Horde, my God..."
"What kind of terrible things have you experienced, my friend Merlin, how could you be like this now?"
"Am I changed?"
Merlin turned to look at Zakang. He said:
"No, I haven't changed, I'm still the original me."
"Those pains and darkness are part of me. In hell, I need these two to motivate me, to remember who I am, and to make me a better person."
"Better people?"
Zakang seemed to hear the most funny joke, he lay behind the fast running scorpion lion, laughing forward and back.
He pointed to Merlin. He breathlessly said:
"Don't tell jokes anymore, it's almost laughing to me... Merlin, you have all come to this place, do you think you are a good person?"
"Do you know what it means to exist in this place?"
Zakang looked at Merlin, he said:
"I said, I visited all the big guys in this place. They told me that this is different from all the other hells. It is special."
"It is used to detain those souls that are not accepted by everyone and are not liked by everyone."
"Me! Look at me."
Zakang pointed to himself, he said:
"I died in the Sannomiya. After my death, with the blessings of the contracts I signed before, I can't go to any that is still normal. I can only come here, I have nowhere to go! Abandoned by all the world."
"Everyone here, all the demons, all the souls of death are the same, nobody cares about them, and even the humblest will not open the door to them."
"Every soul here is abandoned, and his body is full of sins...do you know? I heard a lunatic soul-monger tell me that this is not actually established by the hell's princes!"
Zakang pointed to the sky. He said:
"Here is the one who was established in heaven. The purpose of this is to punish people like us!"
"He made us live between fear and madness every day, and let this resurrect those dead pitiful insects every day and night, and when the new day comes, endless suffering strikes again."
"A nightmare of constant reincarnation will never end until we are completely collapsed, assimilated by this desperate world, and become part of it."
"Every large piece of ground we step on is buried with a wailing soul. You can't hear it...not you can't hear it, but you ignore those voices."
"You thought you were saved!"
"Do not be silly!"
Zang Kang threw over, grasping Merlin's collar with both hands, he growled out of control:
"Be awake! There is no hope of falling here!"
"You idiot! Let's join hands, your strength and my wisdom, we can call the wind and rain in this place, become a god!"
"Look at you, you're willing to fall! Pulled by the illusion of freedom and chasing around like a pug... Also pulling me to a dead end!"
"Snapped"
Mad Kang was pushed away by Merlin, who stood up.
In the mane of the running scorpion lion, he bent down and put Zacanti in his hand, staring at this possibly crazy soul.
He says:
"Come on, after you die, I still work with a group of gods."
"I persuade you to be awake, Zakang, you are going to be mad by despair and fear, I don’t blame you, but if you can’t wake up after 2 minutes... then I don’t care about you, I said Really."
Jang Kang was thrown aside, his face slapped.
Merlin controls the power, and Zaccome is not strong. Too much force may break his soul.
He lay there, making a cry like a cry, mixed with a mad smile, like a complete neuropathy.
After more than 1 minute, Zakang climbed up.
He rubbed his swollen face. He looked at the expressionless Merlin. He whispered:
"What if I go back?"
"I don't have friends in that world at all, and there is nothing to be attached to. You are not you, Merlin. You are liked by everyone. When you tick your finger, a girl will climb into your bed, but I can't."
"I'm a bad guy, I know... I'll mess up everything."
"I have no difference between the world and hell, just throw me here, I am more comfortable here."
Merlin ignored Zang Kang's self-complaint.
The poor man had lived alone in this wasteland for ten years. He lived with a group of demons, and he hasn't gone mad until now, which has shown that Zakang's will is firm.
"After you die, every year, Chase will take a day off to worship you without any trouble."
Merlin says:
"After we met, you didn't ask me how Chas was doing, you were afraid, right? Fear he also forgot you..."
"He didn't, even after becoming a robot knight, he didn't forget his friends."
"Jack Kang, your life is a failure!"
Merlin said to Constantine:
"In your first half of your life there was only one true friend. You always bullied him, but Chas remembers you. When I was, Chas had a girlfriend. Although he may not have children in his life, but. .. he really remembers you."
"Did you hear that?"
Merlin shouted:
"Someone in that world is thinking about you! You are like a man to me now, I don't ask you to help me, at least don't hold me back!"
"I..."
Constantine's eyes shone with a beam of light, and he wanted to say something.
But at the next moment, on the ash plain behind them, a low engine roar sounded like thunder.
Merlin stood up sharply and looked behind him. He looked at the straight line of fire drawn on the Plain of Ashes. He said to Constantine:
"what is that?"
"Oh, that one."
Zakang stood up, he shrugged:
"A lunatic, coming here soon, maybe less than a year. In short, he is alone, does not communicate with anyone, is powerful and fierce, no one dares to mess with...just like you."
"Oh, by the way, I heard people say that it was a skeleton riding on a locomotive, and a burning head..."
