Chapter 384 The Land of Death

The depth of this well was greatly beyond Xinjie's expectation. After jumping down with Misaka Mikoto in his arms, the two had not landed for a long time.

"It will be dangerous when we get to the bottom at this speed."

Xinjie felt the increasing speed of the two and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

At this time, the scales of Etin, which he had been hiding in his arms, suddenly emitted a faint green light. At the same time, the speed that the two had been accelerating was also gradually slowing down, from free landing to uniform movement, followed by deceleration movement, and finally stopped.

At the same time, the two finally stepped on the firm ground.

"It seems that we have arrived."

Xinjie looked around and said.

After he said this, he suddenly felt something wrong. Why did Mikoto Misaka lean softly in his arms as if he suddenly had no strength?

"Meiqin? What's wrong with you?"

Xinjie was shocked. Isn't it so soon that he was affected by the miasma of the land of death? Or does Aydin's scales only protect a person from miasma?

"I'm fine!"

Hearing Xinjie's voice, Misaka Mikoto jumped out of his arms like a frightened rabbit and turned her head to look at him.

Misaka Mikoto's heart pounded, because Xinjie held her from the mouth of the well and jumped here for an unexpected long time before, and the two naturally kept that posture. Mikoto Misaka had such close contact with a opposite sex for the first time in her life. She was already a little arrogant at this moment, just like a shy girl holding her lover.

At this moment, there is an unprecedented feeling in her heart, which is called a sense of security.

"Is it really okay?"

Xinjie looked at Mikoto Misaka with some suspicion.

"It's really okay! By the way, where is this?

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's full of anger, Xinjie also put down his doubts, "This is the way of the underworld. According to the saint, this is the road to the land of death."

In fact, Xinjie, the way of the underworld, had come here alone and defeated the dead of Yeka, but at that time he did not know that this was the entrance to the land of death.

"So it is."

Misaka Mikoto nodded and suddenly reached forward:

"There are people there!"

Looking in the direction of Misaka Mikoto's finger, Xinjie also found a man walking towards the two of them.

"I'm Floria, the guardian of the way of the underworld. Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The visitor asked after seeing Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka.

"We are going to Northfield."

Xinjie replied.

"Norsferrats is the country of the dead floating miasma. It is not a place where the living can step in. Where do you want to go to a different world? Give up on this beautiful world?

Hearing Xinjie's answer, Floria looked very surprised.

"Hmm."

Xinjie nodded, but said nothing more.

"Okay." Seeing Xinjie's appearance, Floria didn't say much and stretched out her hand in a certain direction, "Just go in that direction."

"Thank you very much."

nodded slightly to Floria, and Xinjie walked in that direction with Mikoto Misaka.

Looking at the backs of the two, Floria shook her head puzzledly, "I really don't understand why do you want to go to the country of the dead who are not waiting for this beautiful world? I don't believe that I can really get to a different world from there..."

Floria shook her head and sighed and left slowly, feeling that the choice of the two was not worth it.

Xinjie didn't know what Floria thought of him, and even if he knew it, it would not change, because he knew that Northfield had to go, where the last dragon was waiting for him.

After walking side by side for a while, the two left the way of the underworld and arrived at the door of a huge palace.

"Black Palace..."

Looking at the huge palace in front of him, Xinjie couldn't help sighing and finally arrived.

After three years in this world, after countless adventures and losing his dearest friends and lovers, Xinjie finally arrived here. He could feel that he was approaching the origin of the world.

"Huh? Why are the people here floating around?"

Mikoto Misaka has good eyesight and sees many people near the Black Palace, but they don't walk well, and they all float around.

"They are not human beings, but dead, that is, ghosts."

Xinjie took a look, sighed and said.

"What are you talking about? They are dead people, that is, dead people? Don't, don't, don't joke!"

Misaka Mikoto's voice trembled a little when she heard Xinjie's words.

"I'm not kidding. Look, they don't walk with their feet, and there is no shadow behind us."

Xinjie said lightly.

When Misaka Mikoto heard Xinjie's words, although she was a little scared, she couldn't help taking a look. At a glance, she found that these people did exactly what Xinjie said. Not only did they not walk well, but there was no shadow behind her.

Seeing this scene, she only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and a chill came straight to her heart.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Even if he is about to see the last guardian dragon Dua, after seeing Mikoto Misaka's performance, Xinjie can't help but feel a little funny. With Mikoto Misaka's strength, he will be afraid of the dead? But think about it, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a girl. It's not surprising that she is afraid of these.

"Hmm! I'm not afraid, isn't it a ghost? Then there's nothing to be afraid of!"

As soon as Mikoto Misaka finished speaking, a person floating near the two happened to hear her words, floated directly towards her, stared at her and said:

"Humph, what are you talking about? You are not a dead person like us!?"

"Ah~~~~~~!!!"

Misaka Mikoto screamed, hid directly behind Xinjie, and grabbed his arm.

Xinjie is a little helpless. Is this the legendary "Although he says no, his body is very honest?"

"Jay, why do I feel that you are thinking about something very rude?"

"You are too careful."

Xinjie said to Ashaf in his heart, and then turned to the ghost close to him and said to him lightly, "We are not the dead, we are alive."

Hearing Xinjie's words, the ghost was a little surprised and looked at Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka. When he saw the shadow behind them, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking deeply:

"Let me think... to go to the cave in a different world, only the lucky ones can enter and not die. It seems that you are the lucky ones."

"Maybe." Xinjie doesn't say anything, lucky? That kind of thing is also part of strength, "What about you? Why are you here all the time?

Xinjie is also a little curious about why there are so many dead here in the Black Palace.

"Me?" The deceased looked a little depressed. "My family and lovers kept dying in front of me, and I stayed here heartbroken. In the end, Dewar's lament resounded through the Black Palace, and then he didn't know anything. Goodbye, lucky man!"

After saying this, the deceased drifted to the distance again.

"Meiqin, come out, he has left."

Xinjie said helplessly to Mikoto Misaka behind her that she still grabbed her arm.

"Really?" When Misaka heard Xinjie's words, Mikoto stretched out her head and took a look. After finding that the deceased had indeed left, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

After seeing Xinjie look at her, she quickly let go of Xinjie, "Well... I'm not afraid of ghosts, you know, I just don't want to deal with them, really!"

Xinjie is speechless.

"It's true!"

Do you want to say it twice because it's important?

Xinjie resisted the desire to complain and said to Mikoto Misaka, "Let's go."

"Hmm!" Mikoto Misaka nodded and quickly followed Xinjie.

Walking, Xinjie looked at the shrinking Mikoto Misaka, sighed in his heart, and reached out to hold Misaka's hand.

"Ah?"

"Hurry up, I'm afraid we won't see Duva until tomorrow."

"Uh...good."

Although she was a little shy, Mikoto Misaka still let Xinjie hold her hand. After all, this sense of security made her feel at ease.

Along the way, the two saw many dead, and some of them came over after seeing them, especially when they found that Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka were actually alive, and some of them also chatted with them.

Of course, only Xinjie was talking. Misaka Mikoto always held Xinjie's hand tightly and leaned on Xinjie tremblingly, without saying a word from beginning to end.

"Do you feel sorry for us, the undead who must always wander on the earth? In fact, why don't we grieve for those who live as slaves of God? Don't save me. However, you have come here, which is the light of our hope.

"The throne of the Black Palace was cast the secret method of the empire on the day the 'God's hammer' was launched, and it has not stopped since then. Unfortunately, my body is limited here, and I don't know if it's true. All the descendants of the empire have taken this secret method as their goal, and I believe that they can use the secret method to escape to a different world. But... I heard Dewar's lament countless times. What about people who live to go to a different world now?

"There are indeed imperial treasures in the throne, connecting the caves of different worlds. But... my child died in front of my eyes and the moment I touched the cave. I killed my child with my own hands! That scream... is still in my ear."

The words of these dead made Xinjie know more about Northfield and the hammer of God, but also made him have a lot of emotion in his heart. His parents are also one of them, right? The difference is that he is much luckier than the child who died when he came into contact with the cave. He not only successfully reached a different world, but also survived, grew up, and finally returned to this world.

"Deathland, I'm coming!"

Looking at the huge palace nearby, Xinjie secretly clenched his hands and said in his heart.
