Let's talk about two things. Let's not talk about whether Elbert can survive. That night, something big happened in Mr. Cat's office because an old friend came to visit him.
But this was an uninvited guest, and Mr. Cat didn't know someone was coming.
He was sorting out the nearly infinite amount of coffee in the cabinet. Ever since he quit smoking, he seemed to have become addicted to caffeine, so a large amount of inventory entered his messy lair.
"Hey hey hey... I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Could you please stop what you are doing for a moment?" An unusually obscene voice suddenly sounded behind Mr. Cat.
It was so late at night that most people would probably be scared to death, but Mr. Cat was not afraid at all because he had already heard who the owner of the sound was.
"Who am I talking about... The only one who can get close to me so unnoticed is a monster like you..."
Woody's glasses always seem to be covered with a layer of white light, making it difficult to see what his eyes are like, and every word he says is accompanied by a playful and obscene laughter: "Hey... I haven't seen you in six or seven years."
Come on, you are still an annoying man..."
Mr. Cat rarely showed a smile without any malice: "Come on, do you still mind if others call you a monster?"
Woody also smiled: "Anyway, let's sit down and chat." After saying that, he sat down unceremoniously.
Master Cat closed the cabinet door and sat across from Woody: "You are here to talk to me about Alastor, right?"
"Originally, the life and death of such a small character is insignificant, but recently I heard rumors that he was hooking up with the top officials of Paradise. Do you have any relevant information?"
Master Cat thought for a while: "Elbert, who was possessed by him, mentioned the dazzling white light and the screaming sound, and that's all I can think of."
"Hehehehe... That's enough. Now that Alastor is finished, no one can know what he talked about with those guys... The next thing is actually easier to deal with."
"From what you're saying, it seems like you're going to do something to frame someone up..."
Woody changed the topic: "That's it for now. We can ask about heaven and hell after you die. In fact, I am here on business this time. Satan's order is to issue a warning to you ghost hunters."
Mr. Cat laughed again: "When did I become the representative of the ghost hunting world?"
"Hehehe... I came to you to handle this matter. It's actually a workaround. If I had a business-like attitude and personally made plans to fulfill Satan's instructions, many bad things might have happened.
…”
"Well... I think your plan is nothing more than to first kill a few Tenth Palace Hell Kings to establish your authority, then issue a naked threat to the entire ghost hunting world, and then kill everyone who dares to resist."
"Hehehe... He deserves to be the most favored person in the world... He quickly figured out the most efficient plan from my perspective... Then I don't have to go around and intimidate you, listen up
that is.
First of all, your last demon summoning circle incident had a very bad impact, and its damage to the 'balance' has exceeded our initial estimate. Therefore, in the short term, I do not hope that there will be another large-scale incident of this kind.
Killing occurs."
Mr. Cat interrupted: "Wait a minute. According to my reasoning, this thing 'balance' should refer to the 'amount' of souls in the three places of hell, human world and heaven, right? So what you mean is, last time
The disappearance of a large number of ghosts and the death of ghost hunters have affected the 'balance'? But this is different from what Vincent told me before. He said that even if a hundred thousand people died in the summoning circle, it would not have any impact.
.”
Woody pushed up his glasses: "Of course it's because your understanding of balance is wrong."
This was beyond Mr. Cat's expectation. He asked, "So what does 'balance' really mean?"
Woody stared at him for a few seconds: "I can tell you, but...it is limited to you. This part of your knowledge and memory cannot be known even if the other party has the ability to read the memory. If you personally
If you want to tell anyone this concept, or express it in any form, you may be sanctioned by 'God', then... no one can save you by then."
Mr. Cat hesitated for a moment: "Hey... curiosity killed the cat... Just tell me, I have realized it."
An imperceptible smile appeared on Woody's lips: "First of all, this world is divided into three parts: hell, human world, and heaven. The so-called Yin and Yang world is only a part of the human world, and its scale is simply small compared to these three parts.
Not worth mentioning.
However, in addition to these three parts, there is a huge realm called the 'Underworld'. This realm is so large that it is unimaginable. It is not an exaggeration to say that it encompasses the entire universe. Therefore, it does not actually exist at all.
The so-called "souls are scattered" concept, those souls that are destroyed will enter the sea of underworld.
After a normal death of a human being, the soul will go to hell and heaven. Of course, more than 97% of them go to our hell. Although it seems strange for me to say this, in fact, hell is not as scary as ordinary people imagine.
, every place has its corresponding system, and the hell that humans generally understand is one-sided and distorted by those in power."
"Hey, hey, hey... the people in power... do you mean those people in heaven? Your wording is not quite right... Could it be..."
Woody pushed up his glasses again: "Just understand mentally... I can only tell you - the war has never ended.
Continuing with what I just said, souls in the human world are being lost every day, and souls from hell and heaven will also enter the human world. Hell will give souls the right to choose. They can stay in hell, be reborn in the human world, or choose to go to the underworld.
Sleeping in the sea forever, as for heaven, there is only one situation where you can leave, which is commonly known as falling into heaven...
The last place is the Sea of Hell. As long as the soul 'leave this world', it will enter the Sea of Hades. Therefore, there will be no souls that are completely eliminated. The souls in this universe will always be the same amount.'
Balance' refers to the relationship between the various levels."
Mr. Cat laughed: "I understand. To put it more bluntly, 'balance' is directly related to your 'war'."
"Hehehehe... What a smart man... In fact, the human world has always been just a battlefield. God used religion and politics as tools, knowledge as weapons, and desires as motivation, all of which were handed over to humans without reservation.
, therefore, the human world has become the best place to temper the soul.
Mortals are as cruel as fire and as tender as water, and their short life makes them even more dazzling. This is simply a masterpiece of God. In this way, powerful souls are born, and then they are thrown into the heaven and hell.
In the midst of war.”
"I don't know why, but I feel very unhappy after hearing what you said..."
"Hehe... I was once a human being, and I can understand your mood at the moment, but now, I don't care about this anymore. I think you will understand one day." Woody continued: "In short, between the three realms,
The relationship is as mentioned above, and the sea of underworld is like a container of chaos. There are far more souls there than the sum of the three realms. The souls sleep endlessly there. Only God knows which one and where.
One day he will return to our world, but of course, he may never return to this world.
The most important point is that the Underworld is also the key to maintaining 'balance'. The 'war' must be carried out slowly. If it is too fierce, the world is likely to be destroyed. There have been several major catastrophes in history, including one
It has some direct relationship with me... Therefore, if one party is too strong, God does not want to see it.
Whether it's Satan or those guys above, they all have higher-level abilities than me. They can peek into the intentions of some 'gods' and they know the rules of the game. Beings like me and Vincent just make sure that everything is within the rules.
It’s just guilt.”
Master Mao spent an unprecedented long time digesting this knowledge. After about ten minutes, he said: "You mean, in the last incident, too many souls from the Yin and Yang world entered the sea of underworld directly, and the ghost hunter
Most of the travelers arrived at the heaven side, and the result was that the Hades Sea, as a transit station, was overloaded.
Even if Minghai immediately releases demonic heretic souls that can compete with the increased strength of heaven and return to the world, it will take at least twenty years for them to grow into a green forest hero. If you wait for these desperadoes to go to hell, you don't know.
How many years will it take, then your side will be in a tight situation, right?"
Woody laughed again: "Hehehe... That's what it means... But it's not a big problem now. You saw Vincent a while ago, right? At that time, even high-level devils like us had to
I came out to collect evil and corrupted souls just to deal with this upcoming situation.
Satan made arrangements through the information obtained from the prophecy of your prophet. If 100,000 people are really killed by ghosts, most of them will go to hell. And after the summoning array is activated, you ghost hunters will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
Your souls are stronger, and in this case, heaven still takes a greater advantage. At that time, the evil spirits we have on hand can help us recover our disadvantage.
But now, the 100,000 casualties have not occurred, and although the ghost hunters have not died as much as expected, Heaven has still benefited. Our previous efforts can only barely maintain the balance of the war."
"Okay, okay, I understand. No wonder the ghost hunting world originally left a rule that ghosts cannot be destroyed casually. It turns out that there is such an existence as the "Underworld Sea".
In short, the ghost hunting world cannot make any big moves recently, so as not to cause excessive casualties to themselves or the Yin and Yang world, which will indirectly make your hells become more passive in the war..."
Woody patted him on the shoulder: "You really understand justice and are a good example to the world!"
Master Mao suddenly stopped smiling: "I have a very bad feeling now because I have a very bad inference..."
"Hey hey hey... come and let me hear it."
"You told me so much, you must have some intention...and if my guess is right...that intention is..."
Woody smiled even more obscenely: "One day...I mean one day, even if that day is still far away, you are going to die after all. Talents like you are likely to be appreciated by Satan, and then..."
