"Let's go take a look too."
On the shore, Priest August suddenly whispered. Sister Devlin hesitated and nodded:
"That's fine."
"But how are we going to get there?"
Iluna asked in a low voice that they could not touch the water. The old priest smiled and pointed to the side:
"use this."
I saw a shabby little wooden boat stranded on the shoal, as if it would sink once it hit the water. It lay quietly in the shadow of the bonfire, as if it had been here all along.
But Iluna is very sure that this ship will never exist before the battle between Shade and Joey Barton ends.
"What's this?"
She was surprised and saw that Priest Augustus was trying to push the boat into the water, so she reached out to help.
"The moon, defeated, death."
The priest said with great effort while pushing the boat into the water. Sister Devlin immediately thought thoughtfully:
"You mean, in death, the moon defeats death head-on?"
"Yes."
The priest nodded and worked hard with Iluna, and the boat slid silently into the water.
"Sorry, I still don't understand what this means."
Iluna whispered, and the priest motioned for her to carry Joey Barton's body onto the boat, and then continued to explain:
"Thirteen ancient gods have overlapping priesthoods."
"Yes, I know that."
"The power of death is mostly in the hands of the ancient god [Ancient Death]."
"Yes."
Iluna nodded again and dragged the body to the boat. Priest August and Sister Devlin also got on the boat one after another. Without any power, the small boat rocked through the dense white shadows.
Heading towards Shade in the distance.
The priest took out his pipe and took a puff. Sister Devlin sat quietly aside, while Iluna held her own dark golden scale on the bow of the ship. The light of the scale was like a guiding light.
"But the ancient god of the moon also has some power over death, and this dark moon is the evidence."
Priest Augustus said again. Iluna thought for a while and nodded again:
"so what?"
"So, now in the most real death, under the witness of thousands of souls, Shade, who used the power of the moon, defeated Joey Barton, who used the power of death. Who did you say Joey Barton was the chosen one just now?
Sorry, I don't understand this very well, but they all use very pure power, and the duel venue is here. This can be regarded as some kind of symbolic ceremony, which is pretty much it. And Shade won, so this ship
Appeared."
He blew out a puff of smoke:
"I can't go into too much detail, but from now on, this ship will always be here, carrying those souls who can't reach the end even if they come here. It's a good thing that the rules of death have become more perfect.
"
Iluna still doesn't quite understand, but since it's a good thing, there's no need to delve too deeply into it.
The boat left ripples on the quiet water like silk being cut open. They soon arrived at Shade's side in the boat. The ripples at the stern of the boat only spread a short distance before disappearing. Shade glanced at the boat in confusion.
, thinking this was conjured up by Priest Augustus.
Many souls gradually passed by everyone, but Joey Barton endured the severe pain of the curse and finally got up with difficulty.
He looked at the soul in front of him, at the transparent woman standing in front of him, and then reached out and hugged her:
"Marilyn, this time, I finally grabbed your hand."
Even though the pain that penetrated his soul made it almost impossible for him to breathe normally, he still hugged the soul in front of him:
"Finally, finally found you, finally saw you again."
The woman showed a gentle smile, hugged the deformed boy in front of her with her right hand, and gently stroked the top of his head with her left hand.
"Is this what you call love?"
Iluna quietly asked Priest Augustus for advice.
She was actually closer to Sister Devlin, but the nun's cold look did not look like she understood the meaning of love. Moreover, Iluna didn't think it was a good idea to ask the nun for such a question.
"It should be considered so."
The old priest said with emotion, looking at this scene with a rather complicated expression on his old face.
"Don't leave me, go back with me. Please, go back with me."
Even though his whole body was shaking due to the severe pain, Mr. Button still held her tightly and cried out.
He looked up at the woman's face. The woman smiled and shook her head slightly. She refused.
Shade didn't know what Mr. Button was feeling at the moment, but he knew that there would be no more fighting.
"Why, aren't you willing to go back with me? Why."
He was unsteady because of the pain. Even though he was hugged by the gentle soul, he slowly slid to the water. He sat there on his knees and looked at the person he dreamed of. The latter let go of his hand and looked at him gently.
Hold him.
Joey Barton knows that if this is still a farewell, then this time will be the final farewell:
"Then, let me go with you."
He held out his trembling hand to the woman.
The woman smiled softly and shook her head again, but she grabbed the thick, deformed hands, then squatted down slightly and hugged the big boy.
"oh!"
Iluna on the boat whispered in surprise. As countless white shadows passed by the two of them, the gray lines on Barton's body actually spread to the woman's body like a snake. The woman's soul was therefore burdened with death.
The curse on Mr. Button's body is slowly disappearing.
"This is."
[She absorbed the curse and plans to carry the curse to the end. 】
"She" answered softly.
He straightened up gently and let go of his hand. Mr. Barton, with tears streaming down his face, wanted to catch her, but he couldn't:
"No, let me go with you."
The transparent soul was smiling softly, bathing in the glow of the dark moon. There was no sadness in her eyes. She spoke softly and her voice was very gentle:
"Put me in your heart and live well. If you still remember me, I will not leave."
The corners of Shade's eyes twitched, Priest August shook his head, Sister Devlin still had no expression, and Iluna on the boat had some red eyes. An immature girl would not be able to read this kind of story, especially
This story is happening right in front of you.
"Remember, live well."
Giving the last blessing softly, while Mr. Barton lay on the water and cried loudly, the woman's soul turned around and followed the thousands of white shadows towards the huge moon at the end of the water.
Xia De looked at the white shadows. He wanted to say something, but the story was really difficult to summarize. Fortunately, someone spoke for him:
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet."
The old priest knocked his pipe on the side of the boat. The woman's soul stopped and everyone else looked at the old priest.
Rat Augustus drooped his eyelids and said in a deep voice:
"One, two, three, four, five people came in, and there must be five people leaving. Joey Barton cannot leave with his soul. He must return to reality with us. Otherwise, his power will die and the fragile balance will be broken.
.”
Shade looked at the priest in confusion, wondering what he wanted to express by repeating this point.
"But you have done too many bad things, and too many people died today because of you, so I don't want you to return to reality alive. Joey Barton, you have done something wrong, and you must pay the price."
