Chapter 3: Alive

Death is always an unknown existence for the living, and no one knows what the dying person will see or hear after he has taken his last breath. Maybe this world of death is really as unknown and interesting as the previous people described, but no one wants to face it and keep a deep fear of it.

In the same way, I was terrified because I saw endless darkness, and what was even more terrifying was that I couldn't think about it, to think about it, and this might be the real fear that comes with death.

Xiaoya, I never have a chance to redeem her again, I never have a chance to prove to her that I can give her the life she wants, but it's really sad, she can't see any hope in me, and she won't see it in the future.

Time was ticking, and I really didn't know how long I was going to sleep, until in the darkness, my hand seemed to touch a sharp piece of iron, it was next to my right hand, and it seemed to give me sense, so that I could my right hand and grope up little by little, it was not a simple piece of subway, I felt a round handle wrapped in cloth.

At that moment, as if by a miracle, I saw a faint light shining directly above me, although it was only a small light, and it could not illuminate everything in the darkness.

I felt my eyelids move a little, and then slowly opened my eyes, and as my eyes opened, the light became brighter and brighter, and even a little harsh.

"Am I still alive?"

I asked myself, in the face of the dazzling light, I didn't cover it with my hands, I was fed up with the pain caused by the darkness, and finally saw the light, what was this glaring discomfort?

The light grew from a small dot to the mouth of a well, and continued to expand until it filled all the dark corners before my eyes. Blue, this is the faint blue of the sky, and the thin puffy clouds dotted with it, everything is so real! I couldn't help but breathe, although the air tasted a little unfriendly, but I was able to breathe, which surprised me, if I could go back, I must tell Xiaoya such a strange thing, I swear that Xiaoya will be surprised at that time to grow up and drill into my arms, just like before!

"Is this the world after death?"

I whispered, but I was surprised to see that my voice had changed, and it was not surprising, it must have been that bastard who was so angry that he slit my throat, but I hope the police will bring them both to justice, otherwise I, the dead hero, will really be so unknown.

"I wish that girl survived and ran out!"

I said to myself, but I smiled bitterly and shook my head in my heart, obviously I was a dead person, and I still cared about the safety of the living person. I tried to move my limbs, only to feel a sharp pain coming from my abdomen, I was smart, I could really say that this sharp pain woke me up, I covered the painful part of my stomach with my left hand.

"Huh? It's weird! How is there a big mouth here! ”

One of my fingers was snapped in, and the pain made me spasm. Looking at my left hand, hey, full of blood, I looked down, and I was wrapped tightly in heavy chain mail. The glow of the iron rings that glittered silver in the sunlight had been masked by the dark red bloodstains, and then looked at the pain in the abdomen, where there was a huge wound, which had been split by a sword, and the chain mail here had not been cut hard, but inside was a huge wound, thanks to the protection of the chain mail, the muscle was cut so that my intestines would not flow out.

But such a serious injury made me panic for a moment, and I wondered what the reason for this was? You can't be a normal ghost, and you can't be a normal ghost, and you can see that the blood will dry up. I covered the wound in my stomach, my right arm supported the ground, and I crawled behind me little by little, just crawled twice, and my right hand touched a cold flesh, I looked,

"Wow!"

This scream made my whole stomach tingle, because I actually touched a severed hand! When I looked up again, I was amazed by the view in front of me!

I lay on a small hillside, surrounded by broken corpses, and looked down at a plain of great size, densely covered with corpses, and a large number of scavenging crows and wild dogs, so much meat that they would not starve and forage for for the next month.

Although it was far away, I did not dare to make a sound, for fear that the wild dogs, who were so vigilant, would hear that they were accustomed to eating the flesh of the dead, and would be interested in the living.

I gritted my teeth and tried all my strength to get up, it was too painful, and the wound in my abdomen was tearing like pain, and my forehead was soon covered with beads of sweat, and I was already out of breath after just a few crawls, but there was still a dead body in front of me. If I continue to consume like this, even if I don't attract the attention of those wild dogs, I will bleed to death!

I picked up an iron sword left on the ground from the ground, it was something that felt very old, and for my knowledge of history, it was not a Chinese weapon, strictly speaking, it was a bit like a Germanic sword, but it was not so the same. No matter what, I feel that this thing is quite handy, so as soon as it comes out, I rely on it to resist the wild dogs who found me, so I put this iron sword into the sheath, it may be the standard weapon, this sword and scabbard are like the original match, maybe, this is my weapon I don't know. I had to use a cane to walk, and I looked around, and I was lucky enough to find a very distinctive Roman legionary banner under a cold corpse, a spearhead banner inlaid with six iron plates, which I did not know which Roman legion.

"I really didn't expect that there would be Roman troops in hell, it seems that the world of the dead is very tolerant, at least everyone who dies can die here again!" I shook my head self-deprecatingly, the world of the dead, I really don't understand it more and more, maybe I can still see my grandparents who have passed away for a long time, I want to kill them!

I pressed the flag against the ground and used it as a crutch to support myself to my feet. Look at the hell around again, no, I guess this is the first level of hell, I don't know how to get out, anyway, take a step, count it as a step!

Straightening up, I looked around in pain, and there was not a single ounce of life on the corpse-strewn battlefield, except for the wild dogs that walked through the piles of corpses. They are only responsible for taking and feeding their hungry bellies from those who have died. I'm on a vantage point now, at least I'm well hidden, and the animals that are drunk on the flesh of the corpses don't even look up and look around, and I must now start thinking about how I'm going to get out of this land of death.

It wasn't until I looked down to the lowest part of the terrain that I was caught by the sound of running water.

"Probably, this is the so-called, well, Lethe River!"

I muttered to myself, clutching my stomach and carrying the flag, and carefully walked down this little high ground step by step!
