War Paradise

gray.

Boundless gray.

There seems to be no other tones in this world, and no sound can be heard.

Moliya, who entered this nihility realm, sat on the fallen trunk of a dead tree, staring at the sky and earth shrouded in gray mist in the distance.

It's already the third day since I entered this world.

If you are an ordinary person, you will lose your sense of time and direction in such a place, or even go crazy. However, Moriya's blood physique allowed her to accurately determine the time in such a bad situation, and her mental state was also very stable.

"..."

The vampire saint sitting on the dead tree stared into the distance without blinking, continuing to feel the breath nearby, looking for traces of creatures.

However, there is nothing here.

Even the kinsmen who are extremely sensitive in their senses and can perceive "food" from far away cannot find any living entities.

This area with no signs of life seemed to be completely dead. To be precise, this piece of land is dead.

"Is this the world after death?" Moriya thought in her heart.

In fact, she can still find the exit location, as long as she opens the door inlaid in the void, she should be able to return to the Assassin Temple in Flamewind City.

The reason why Moriya did not leave was because she became interested in this place.

She had never experienced the feeling of complete death, and she didn't know where she would go when she was reduced to ashes.

If the Assassin's Temple is really a "transit station" for the living and the dead as I thought, then this place is probably the world of the dead.

So, where did the dead go?

Moorea, who had been waiting here for three days, hadn't seen any "persons" yet.

The reason she stayed near this tree was that she saw the road that was taken on the dirt: If there were really dead here, she might pass this route that seemed to be trekked frequently.

In order to find the "residents" of this place, Mooriya continued to wait.

After another two full days, she finally saw a few vague figures appearing in the distance.

After entering this space, Mooriya, who saw other people for the first time, suddenly jumped from the dead tree, landed lightly on the ground, and rushed towards the few figures.

Although unable to make a sound, Moria kept waving her hands, trying to attract the other's attention. Because of the speed, her figure turned into a red mist and immediately arrived in front of those people.

"Hello." Moriya opened her mouth, expressing her meaning with her mouth and a smile.

However, those people did not raise their heads, they were still walking with their heads down.

Whether it was skin or clothes, it was a lifeless dark gray. The three men and one woman walked forward slowly with their heads down, their faces kept the same unchanging smiles, revealing a little weird breath.

——These people seem to be controlled, where are they going...

Realizing that the other party hadn't noticed herself, Moria followed in the footsteps of the few people and set off with them.

The traveler who was suspected to be the deceased moved forward at a slow and steady speed, past the dead tree where Molia had stayed for a long time.

Moliya, who was mixed in these "ghosts", followed them for a day, and finally the outline of the destination appeared in front of her eyes:

An unusually simple gate emerged from the gray fog.

The door doesn't see any style, it's just a splicing of three long vertical columns. Two "angels" wearing heavy armors, glowing white from the gaps in the armor, stood on either side of the gate, one on the left and the other on the right.

"These guys..."

Looking at the angels who seemed to be restraining the blood clan, Mouliya didn't feel any discomfort. It was completely inconsistent with her appearance. The two guys did not exude any sacred aura.

To be precise, the two gatekeepers did not exude any aura, even if they were already close at hand, Mooriya could not perceive their aura.

Just like travelers, the "creatures" in this world are beyond the scope of Moria's cognition.

Looking at the door that was blocked by the gray mist, Moria was guessing what was behind the door, and then suddenly heard a voice.

She originally thought that she had lost her hearing, but at this moment she regained her hearing and her ability to speak was also restored:

"Are you here to go to the Queen?"

"Yes." The traveler who was walking in front raised his head, and a red light suddenly appeared from his gloomy eyes, making the pure gray world re-stained with color.

"We are willing to accept the Queen's rule and become the Queen's shield."

The man's voice was extremely firm, without a trace of confusion, and the other travelers who had bowed their heads immediately raised their heads, looking expectantly at the mist-shrouded door.

"Please let us enter the queen's paradise." They said in unison.

"go in."

The two guards retreated to the sides and gave way to the gate. Several travelers walked in immediately, disappearing into the mist.

Moliya, who has been among the travelers, is naturally ready to fish in troubled waters. But she was about to enter the door, but was stopped by two gatekeepers.

"You must not enter." The guardian's voice was cold.

"Why?" Moria frowned.

"You do not belong to this world." The guard stretched out his left hand protected by the gray hand armor and pointed at Moria's head: "Leave here, otherwise we will use force."

"Ok."

Two seconds later, Mooriya stepped over the two guards who had been dismantled and stepped into the mist that enveloped the gate.

Then, the scene in front of her suddenly became clear:

What you see is a strange city made of wood and rocks:

The houses here seem to be a mixture of Eastern and Western styles, with a touch of classical beauty. From multi-storey wooden towers to ring-shaped halls, a variety of buildings are available.

On the streets paved with bluestone, many passers-by are walking around. Unlike the gray world outside, everyone in this huge city has returned to their colors.

And... they seem to be very happy.

Seeing the happy smiles of the "dead" and striding forward with cheerful steps, Mo Liya frowned slightly. Immediately afterwards, she saw something strange:

It looks like a large wooden "robot" patrolling the street. These guys wear top hats on their heads, and their slender arms and bodies make them very funny.

Mooriya, who had seen such things in the private housing area, immediately recognized what they were:

"Shen Wenchong's...institution doll?"

Moria was thinking about why the organ dolls would appear here. The two organ dolls had stopped by her side. The wooden mouths opened and closed, and they made a male voice that sounded the same as a human:

"Outsider, the general wants to see you."
