Original God: Becoming the elder brother of the Thor twins
Chapter 160 Entering the Boundary of Life and Death
Play is play, make noise is noise, but serious business cannot be put aside.
Ying carried two buckets and called Lei Dianshi into a room alone.
"Brother, I probably won't be by your side these days."
"What's wrong? Do you think Liyue is boring and want to go back to Inazuma?"
Ying shook her head gently, and her soft hair swayed slightly.
"I'm going to go underground with the Rock God to reforge that spear."
"That's it."
Lei Dianshi nodded, and the scene when Zhongli took away the forging materials last time emerged in his mind.
At that time, Zhong Li took the materials away with a sullen look on his face. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made some progress.
"Okay, thank you for your help, but what are these two buckets?"
Lei Dianshi's gaze fell on the bucket in Ying's hand, his eyes full of confusion.
"Oh, Yan Shen said you can take a day off today, but you need to contribute."
As Ying spoke, he slowly took out the Dream Heart with a cold light.
"Brother, do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?"
"Eh? Eh! Ying, what are you doing?"
The knife in Ying's hand flashed coldly under the light and was approaching him.
Lei Dianshi was so frightened that he suddenly jumped back and sat down on the bed, hugging himself tightly with his hands, looking pitiful.
"Blood, lots and lots of blood."
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"
Lei Dianshi stood up from the bed and walked to the two barrels.
He looked down at the two barrels, his brows furrowed, his mind full of confusion.
He thought to himself, no, it takes so much blood to forge a weapon, what's going on?
Is it to increase the fault tolerance rate?
But the materials he gave to Zhongli were not allowed.
Besides, won’t this blood coagulate?
Lei Dianshi struggled internally for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and lightly stroked Meng Xiang Yixin's blade with his hand.
In an instant, blood oozed out of the wound and flowed into the bucket.
He watched the blood slowly flow until it stopped naturally, but the blood that flowed out was still not enough to cover the bottom of the bucket.
"Uh, Ying, we're not in a rush about this anyway. There's no need to hurt ourselves too much."
Then he cut a cut on the palm of his other hand and began to bleed them in turn.
During this time, Lei Dian Shi kept chewing Mingcao.
The taste of the Ming grass continued to spread in his mouth. It was indeed delicious at the beginning, but after chewing it so much, the taste was almost gone in his mouth!
He was so sad that he couldn't even cry! He secretly swore that if Zhongli couldn't give him a perfect explanation for the weapon, he would throw Zhongli into the sea to feed the seafood!
At the beginning, Lei Dianshi was quite cooperative, but as time went on, he felt increasingly weak and powerless.
Later on, he simply took it easy - he just lay on the bed. When the bleeding stopped, he asked Ying to turn him over and cut him open again to let the blood out. When he had chewed all the Mingcao in his mouth, he asked Ying to stuff some more in.
He lay there motionless like a lifeless corpse.
"Monde, it's a good thing that I have good physical fitness. Anyone else wouldn't be able to last more than an hour." Lei Dianshi muttered weakly.
Ying didn't care about all this and seemed not to feel sorry for Lei Dianshi's pain at all.
All I can say is that Ying is capable of killing people, and if she were to do it, she would be truly reckless, going straight for his artery.
He said that he was lying there, feeling his life force gradually draining away.
An unknown amount of time had passed. Looking at the uncoagulated blood in the bucket and his own arm that had recovered as before, Lei Dianshi sat silently by the bed, feeling mixed emotions.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"Brother, I'm leaving." Ying patted Lei Dianshi's shoulder, then picked up the bucket and walked out the door like a gust of wind.
"Shadow, stop shaking. Hold the bucket steady. If you spill it, it'll be gone."
Lei Dian Shi shouted at the top of his lungs.
He didn't know if Ying heard it or not, but after he shouted it out, he felt a little relieved. If Ying came back and asked for more blood, he would rather die than give in.
"Ha~"
Lei Dianshi sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly for a while, then felt sleepy and fell asleep.
……
The lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival spread in Liyue Harbor as usual, but Ying and Zhongli were absent from the event.
Under the brilliant lights of the festival, the streets were filled with laughter and bustling crowds, and various festival decorations and lanterns complemented each other, but all of this seemed a little alienated from Lei Dian Shi at this moment.
It's not because of anything else, but because there is a little guy who is too disturbing.
Because Zhongli had been on leave for a very long time and didn't even spend the Lantern Festival with Hu Tao, Hu Tao felt uneasy and confused.
During this period of time, she turned almost the entire Liyue upside down, asking around for Zhongli's whereabouts, but no one knew anything about it. Only from Lei Dianshi did she barely get a little bit of information.
In fact, what Lei Dianshi knew was very limited. He only knew that Zhongli had gone underground.
When Hu Tao came to ask about it, he made up a lie to put Hu Tao off and said that Zhongli had no money and went underground to rob tombs.
This reason is full of loopholes. Not to mention someone as smart and clever as Walnut, even a three-year-old child would probably not believe it.
As a result, she would come to see Lei Dianshi as many as five or six times a day.
It would be fine if he came to visit during the day, but at night, Lei Dianshi had his own "busy things to do", which was a private time not suitable for children.
Lei Dianshi thought to himself that even if Hu Tao knew that Zhong Li had gone underground, she would not be able to go deep into it and do anything.
Since that was the case, he decided to reveal a little information to Walnut so that she would stop pestering him so frequently.
"Master Hu, I can tell you about Zhongli's news, but there's a condition."
Lei Dianshi opened his slightly loose coat and walked out of the room slowly.
"Well, that's fine!"
Kurumi responded eagerly.
When Zhongli was not around, she always felt empty inside, as if she had lost her backbone and had no sense of security at all.
Moreover, the Wangsheng Hall usually has many matters concerning obscure funeral knowledge that need to be dealt with. Although there is A-Beng, A-Beng is immersed in his own studies most of the time, and the help he can provide is really limited.
"Take me to the border of life and death. You don't need to be in charge of the rest."
"You are really stubborn and unwilling to change your ways. Are you really not afraid of death?"
Hu Tao widened her eyes and stared at Lei Dian Shi as if he was a fool, as if she was looking at a reckless person who didn't know the consequences of his own life.
"Master Hu is not afraid of death." Lei Dianshi responded calmly.
"How can it be the same? My ancestors have been in this business for generations. My relatives are on both sides of the dead and the living. Besides, I am not stupid enough to enter the realm of the dead." Walnut folded his hands in front of his chest and said confidently.
“A thin page of paper can hold the frost and snow of a thousand years, and only a few people leave their names on it; a thick page of paper can withstand the vicissitudes of ten thousand years, and the years will sing the song of loyalty that will last forever.”
"Also, don't say you're not afraid of death!" Hu Tao pointed her finger directly at Lei Dianshi's nose and said angrily.
"Master Hu, just give me a straight answer. Are you going to take me with you? If not, then you can just wait for Zhongli to come back."
"Woo——"
Walnut put his hands behind his back and wandered around the yard like a little old man, looking very cute.
She stopped from time to time and glared at Lei Dianshi fiercely, her eyes full of entanglement and hesitation.
"Let me make it clear first. As a member of Inazuma, if anything happens to you on the border between life and death, even if you can't come back, it has nothing to do with me, the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall!" Hu Tao finally compromised, but she still did not forget to emphasize the issue of responsibility.
"Revise the contract I just mentioned and read it yourself."
"Alright, Lord Rock King, those who break their promises must be punished for breaking their promises. As..."
Lei Dian Shi finished reading as instructed. Hu Tao barely concealed the look in his eyes that looked at him as if he was a fool, as if to say, "Don't regret this, you weirdo."
"How about it, Master Hu, can you take me to the border between life and death?"
"Zhongli."
Walnut called out softly.
"Zhongli, he went to help me forge a weapon. You know, he knows a thing or two about everything. He really went underground. I don't know the details, but he's definitely fine. Let's wait a little longer."
Lei Dianshi explained with such confidence that even if Hu Tao didn't believe it in her heart, she had to choose to believe it.
"That Zhongli guy...came back and deducted a lot of our wages, then distributed it all to the people under him." Hu Tao muttered angrily.
"Hmph, you're lucky. I happen to be going to the border of life and death soon, but you have to wait a day or two. I won't leave until I'm done. I'll have the traveler come to call you then."
Walnut said gloomily, but she didn't forget to add at the end, "Want to book a set meal? First timers get half price."
Seeing Hu Tao angry but pretending to please him, Lei Dian Shi paid the full price for some unknown reason.
"The boss is so generous. When we leave, I will make sure to prepare a grand ceremony for you." Hu Tao said with a smile, then turned and left.
"Hey...should I also prepare myself, so I don't get into trouble later?"
Lei Dianshi looked at Hu Tao's receding back and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
However, when he turned around and looked at the room behind him where the lights were still on, he felt that it was getting late today and it would be better to prepare for many things tomorrow.
Tonight, it's more important to talk to Eula about how to integrate into the shadows.
……
Two days passed slowly and quietly. During these two days, Hu Tao waited for Zhongli's return every day with great anticipation, but the familiar figure never appeared.
Lei Dianshi was also eagerly waiting to see Ying, but all he got was endless waiting.
At this moment, not only was Hu Tao's heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness, even Lei Dian Shi had ripples of worry deep in his heart.
But he still pretended to be calm, comforted Walnut, and told her that everything would be fine.
In order to make Walnut feel a little more at ease, he then generously paid for two full meal plans.
The bright yellow Mora sparkled with an alluring light in the sun. When Walnut saw this, the worry in his eyes instantly disappeared without a trace as if blown away by a breeze.
In this land of Liyue, Hu Tao has unparalleled confidence in her heart.
Even if it was the almighty and mysterious Emperor, as long as he was on the border between life and death, Hu Tao firmly believed that he would be able to find his trace.
If Zhongli really encountered an accident, there was no way he would be unaware of it.
Thinking about it carefully, Hu Tao suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to accept the money, and a feeling of shame surged in his heart.
So, she returned the money to Lei Dian Shi without hesitation, saying, "I hope you can get your share back from me."
In Hu Tao's eyes, Lei Dian Shi at this moment seemed to be no different from the cold dead man.
The coffin that had been prepared long ago was almost discarded as an ominous object when it was sent to the embassy.
Fortunately, Hu Tao was quick-witted and stopped it in time, and took it back.
However, even so, it inevitably caused some minor disturbances.
Just because Lei Dianshi's name was prominently engraved on the coffin, this situation caused a burst of whispers and gossip within the embassy.
But this little disturbance came and went quickly. After all, if anyone gossiped in this embassy, how could it escape the ears of Lei Dianshi?
He only needed to lightly make a stroke of the mark on the payroll ledger, and those who were originally talking behind his back would immediately become obedient and dare not act rashly anymore.
"Shi, will you also enter the [Ordinary Land] with us?"
Ying's clear voice rang out in the air.
"Yes."
In response to Hu Tao's request, Lei Dianshi traveled all the way to the creepy Wuwangpo, and successfully reunited with Ying and Hu Tao.
This place is indeed one of the most terrifying places in the world of Genshin Impact. It is filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and thick fog wanders around like a ghost. Will-o'-the-wisp fire flashes with a faint green light in the fog, jumping up and down and lingering endlessly.
If an ordinary person just took a quick glance at it, he would be so scared that his legs would go weak and his heart would be terrified.
"Okay, it looks like we can be much safer on this journey."
Paimon shouted excitedly as he danced happily in the air.
In its opinion, with the addition of Lei Dianshi, Ying's journey will definitely be much easier.
"Shall we go in from here?"
Lei Dian Shi narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the unique groove on the rock in front of him.
A layer of light mist gently shrouds this place like a veil, making the scene behind the groove mysterious and unpredictable, making it impossible to see where it leads to.
13 grids are not enough. It is hard to imagine that it could be the passage to the mysterious boundary between life and death.
"This is just a medium, there is still some way to go."
Kurumi's voice rang out from the side. She crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and spoke with a hint of confidence and arrogance.
"Besides, do you understand [Ordinary Land], or do I understand [Ordinary Land]?"
Hey, how did this famous quote come out of Walnut's mouth?
"Okay, it's just that the hole is too small."
Lei Dianshi sighed helplessly, and as he spoke, he slowly bent down and tried to get into the cramped and narrow cave.
He had to curl up, looking a little embarrassed.
Walnut saw the difficulty Lei Dian Shi was having entering, which dealt her another small blow, because she didn't need to bend over!
Hmm... If something like this happens again, I'd better find a bigger place! It's so embarrassing!
However, Ying didn't care about this and followed Lei Dianshi in.
