Chapter 565: 11.91 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Labyrinth - The Creepy Clown' (21)

Once the man called snow had fallen deep asleep, the End had placed him on a newly made black throne beside the white one. After letting go of a few glowing white b.a.l.l.s of light that disappeared out of nowhere, he placed Snow on the black throne with a blanket then as if knowing the presence of the Ye Xiajie and Xia Jieye, the End looked in their direction. There is only that blackhole moving continuously on his face but they still heard what he had said.

{Art thee not going to cometh backed still?} said the End. Though he doesn't have a face his tone seems like he was gloating and sneering at them.

Translation: [Are you still not going to come back still?]

All of a sudden, both Ye Xiajie and Xia Jieye had been thrown out of that dream. They've returned to the domain of darkness they both can use. Left dumbfounded and speechless, the two weren't able to react when they were suddenly thrown out of the dream world.

Confusion, panic, and rage bubbled up in their minds. They weren't brainless not to understand what the End had said. Their eyes were filled with incredulity. Their souls were trembling as if they were to go mad. Deep in their hearts, they do not want to believe that their favorite person is in that state.

In a place without light. No food or entertainment. An empty world with nothing but only darkness. He had taken his place, sitting on that throne alone just sleeping.

Ye Xiajie spoke, "Isn't Jing'er a descendant of the Mo Family? What is this before us right now? Is this scene real or was it affected by our memories of him!?"

He was shocked to his core. Seeing someone with their beloved's appearance taking their place to stay in this lonesome abyss with nothing but just darkness. If that was Hei Anjing, there is no way he could stay there. For someone who hates boredom and loves to have fun the most and loves eating, there is no way he can live in this boring world with nothing but darkness.

Xia Jieye denied what they'd just seen. "That's not him. That's not my little jing'er! No, this is impossible! Let me out. Get me out of here!"

"C-Calm down. I am panicking as well. Don't go crazy! For nothing." said Ye Xiajie.

Hearing Ye Xiajie's words his soul core finally went mad and scolded him, "For nothing? Is this for nothing for you!? If that is our wife, do you know how long I've been out of the abyss all this time!? You had even reincarnated! Counting everything in it, he had been asleep in the abyss for more than hundreds of millennia!

This could only mean that the Mo Baojun I know and the Jing'er by your side right now are just fragments of his soul which were let out by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d End to gather qi to keep the real body of Jing'er alive. We witnessed him getting weaker in every world. He was even using the qi that was supposed to keep him alive to be given to keep us alive instead. He has been in the abyss alone for more than hundreds of millennia. Just sleeping there longer than you did!"

This realization had struck both of them too badly. They were in a state of disbelief and despair. Just how long had their beloved stayed in the abyss all this time. Xie Jieye who had to lose his memories after being thrown out of the abyss had never even once returned to that place.

"This... This... Why did this happen? Isn't it supposed to be only me who is on the brink of death?" mumbled Ye Xiajie in shock. He wanted to deny everything but doing so would mean he denies all the sacrifices his wife had made for him. "No. We are not even sure that was Jing'er."

"But they look so much alike," mumbled Xia Jieye.

Ye Xiajie said, "I will try probing Jing'er about this but discreetly or he would not give an answer at all. Go, I need to wake up soon."

After saying what he wanted to, Ye Xiajie left his soul domain and left his soul core on his own where he was standing. The scene they had witnessed was something they couldn't believe but it was something that made them extremely uncomfortable. That person looks like their wife, Hei Anjing, but their beloved is a descendant of the Mo Family. There is no way he would be with them in the abyss in that forgotten past.

Xia Jieye looked serious as he was thinking of returning to the abyss and checking for himself but thinking about that man who possesses the authority which equals the Origin, he knew that once he was caught, he would never be able to leave again.

"I still need to check. That man gives me the same feeling as my little one. If it is indeed him I need to bring him out of there as soon as possible." murmured Xia Jieye as he once again disappeared within the darkness he had absolute control of.

Meanwhile, in reality, Ye Xiajie opened his eyes and saw his wife peacefully sleeping in his embrace. His slightly parted lips allow that small tongue to peek out making him a bit giddy. In the end, he didn't hold back and lowered his head to capture those red lips and that naught tongue.

His deep kiss was gentle at first but upon entangling his tongue with his wife's, the sweetness in his mouth spreads. He couldn't hold back and kissed the cute tongue and played with its move.

Um~ ha~

He only stopped when he noticed Hei Anjing's lack of air, their lips were connected with a thin silver line which instantly broke upon exerting distance. Ye Xiajie once again frowned when he noticed the coldness of his wife's body temperature. He had been hugging him in every world but only in this world that his temperature had dropped beyond the normal warmth of a healthy body. He checked on his soul using his qi but as usual, he couldn't find anything wrong with it except for being weakened.

"How is it that you can hide your weakness to me so well? I do not even know now whether you are indeed healthy or weakened to the point of disappearing. Baby, please don't sacrifice anymore for me. I'm alright now. This time I will protect you." whispered Ye Xiajie.

Unknown to him, Hei Anjing who was supposedly asleep suddenly hooked his lips for a split second but even then Ye Xiajie failed to capture that scene.

In the Abyss

The territory of pure darkness. Only a pair of thrones can be seen visible within the black world. An empty white throne and a black throne were occupied but a man in a white robe. He was peacefully sleeping but his pure silver long hair, a part of it, had long turned charcoal gray. Obviously, it was tainted by the darkness that doesn't match his physique. His eyes were closed as if for eternity. His long eyelashes were curled up as if they were akin to thin b.u.t.terfly wings. Beautiful yet fragile.

Suddenly a man whose body is made up of galaxies and void itself appeared in thin air. He approached the sleeping man and started talking as if he wasn't talking to a sleeping man.

The End spoke, {Thy sir's mem'ries about the abyss wouldst returneth but soft but certes. But thy past wouldst beest gone and that gent has't to findeth me to receiveth t backeth. By then that gent wouldst has't any oth'r choice but to accepteth his 'riginal role as mine own apostle liketh how thee hadst becometh.}

Translation: [Your man's memories about the abyss would return slowly but surely. But your past would be gone and he has to find me to get it back. By then he would have no other choice but to accept his original role as my Apostle like how you had become.]

He talks on his own but he had no one to reply to him at all. The sleeping man on the black throne remained silent. Only the quiet dark world was the witness to their conversation.

Back to the Abyssal World.

Hei Anjing and the team had decided to ask their managers (systems) the location of their other target but unfortunately, their capabilities inside the dungeon are limited, and could only ask little Georgie to bring them to the school where his elder brother goes to. The team and little Georgie were all ghosts so most of the NPC treats them as air, especially the adults.

Little Georgie was pointing at the only high school in the countryside town. This is where all children under the age of 20 go. This means Georgie's elder brother goes to the same school.

"Bill's school. But today is the last day of school before summer vacation. It's already time for their summer vacation. Before Bill would bring me to the park and ride bikes with me during this time. But now I can't play anymore~" said Georgie with a sad face.

Among the children NPC only their targets would be able to see them. Since there are 7 more targets they need to find, everyone splits and decides to roam around the high school where Little Georgie had guided them today is the last day of school.

Hei Anjing, who likes children, cannot bear to see one look sad. He might be indifferent to other people but towards children his heart is soft. He rustled Little Georgie's hair and with a snap of his finger, a tricycle appeared in thin air. This is a baby tricycle that could fit at least four pa.s.sengers including the driver to ride on. Ye Xiajie already knew his role upon seeing the tricycle and took the driver seat, in short, he would do the pedaling while Little Georgie and Hei Anjing rode on the sidecar.

Ye Xiajie said to the two on the sidecar. "Wear your seatbelts."

"I've worn it already, big brother," said Georgie with a grin on his face. He looks excited at this moment.

Hei Anjing who is in childish mode also acted like a child and said, "Go towards the sky my love~ let's ride on the clouds woohoo~"

"This!? Can this fly, small big brother?" asked Georgie.

Hei Anjing pinched his chubby cheeks and said, "Of course, it can. I can make it fly for you~" he then brought out a few flight talismans and pasted them on the tricycle. Then gesture Ye Xiajie to start pedaling

"Hold on tight," said Ye Xiajie as he started pedaling.

At first, it was hard for Ye Xiajie to control his strength; the tricycle instantly flew towards the sky like a rocket. Only the echoes of Little Georgie's excited scream and Hei Anjing's peals of laughter can be heard from the sky.

[Note: Please don't forget they are in the form of children right now so it looks normal that they are playing with bikes and all.]

The others who were left behind were stunned. Those three left them there without any instructions or information about the other targets.

Zane asked, "They left. What should we do?"

"Sigh~ no one can stop Sir Hei if he wants to be okay around. She'er you take the lead from now on," said Chu Mo.

Lan She said, "Sure."

Han Ya asked his beloved while he was dazed, looking in the direction where the other three had disappeared too.

"What's wrong?" asked Han Ya.

An Yuan mumbled, "That looks fun. I want to try too!"

Zane and Chu Mo almost stumbled as they walked toward the school building and heard An Yuan's words.

"That's fun?"

"Well, tricycles don't fly in reality."

Lan She said, "Let's go find the other targets first then we can borrow the tricycle from Lord Hei later."

"Really~ hehe..."

"I'll pedal for you, A'Yuan."

"Okay~"

Then An Yuan and the rest went inside the school to investigate. They plan to at least see the other targets and learn where they live.
