Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

A golden skull...

It wears a crown of power that must be full of rust, and wears a long robe that is tattered due to weathering. Through the gaps on the top, one can see the golden bones inside.

It held a huge scythe that was also rusty in its right hand, while its left hand rested on its bare chin, leaning on the armrest of the high-backed chair.

In a pair of black eye sockets, two groups of light blue flames could be seen dancing slowly.

As the team of knights carrying the coffin appeared, the bottomless darkness outside the city gate behind them was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and then haunted the whole team, making them look like a dream. realism.

They seemed to want to bury the coffin, and they were walking towards the depths of the Oracle City step by step.

They seem to have been walking like this for a long time, so long that even the armor and weapons have lost their luster, leaving only the broken and final black.

Only the coffin and the golden skull on it still maintained their own color, as if they had defeated time.

And Rorschach stood in the middle of their traveling route.

It seems to be blocking, and it seems to be presiding over a funeral.

When the funeral procession was tens of meters away from Rorschach, the black-armored knights stopped neatly.

I don't know if it was because of the vibration or something else, but the golden skull sitting on the coffin seemed to move, as if it tilted its head slightly to make its sitting posture more formal.

Then, the light blue flames in the dark eye sockets jumped again, as if looking at Rorschach in front of him.

And Rorschach just stood quietly.

Not nervous, not afraid, but more calm.

He could be sure that he would encounter no danger, no hostility, as he would at an ordinary funeral.

At this time, the patterns and symbols that kept flashing on the coffin went out at the same time.

But then it lit up again, showing several dead characters with specific meanings, conveying a meaning to Rorschach:

"meet again."

Thanks Elmer Da!Another salted fish spur

thank you very much!

The Undertaker: Chapter 104 103. The Second Meeting

Luo Xia didn't know if he understood the 'greeting' on the other side, but he just kept silent, and then nodded slightly.

The lines on the opposite coffin darkened, and began to flicker irregularly as before, and the black-armored knight below also took another step, approaching Rorschach step by step.

Luo Xia stood awe-inspiringly in the middle of the city gate, watching the black armored knights approaching him, allowing him to clearly see the decay and cracks on the armor covered by the pitch black.

The entire funeral procession seemed to be eroded by time and time, only the coffin was different, it was still bright and delicate, as if eternal.

Then, the rotten black-armored knight took another step and passed through Rorschach's body, as if passing through a layer of illusion, neither of them could touch each other.

And the gray mist lingering around the entire funeral team also began to thicken, completely enveloping the black-armored knight, the coffin, and the golden skull on it, and the clear image gradually became faintly visible.

Luo Xia was naturally also in this layer of fog, and his eyes gradually became only the dim gray.

And when the coffin approached him, Rorschach only saw the lines on the coffin light up for the last time, and the whole funeral procession completely disappeared in the gray mist.

When the gray fog gradually dissipated, he seemed to have returned to the fairly familiar pale world, still only black and gray remained, and the outlines of buildings hidden in the gray fog could be seen farther away.

Pedestrians and vehicles also reappeared on the street, and it seemed that the excitement and hustle and bustle of the North City Gate had returned to normal, but Rorschach couldn't hear it.

"Huh~ Even if there is no color, it's still better here..."

Luo Xia breathed a sigh of relief, briefly sighed, and then turned his attention to an extra thing that suddenly appeared in front of him.

In front of him was a long-handled sickle.

It was the one held in the hand of the golden skull. It looked tattered and rusty. The wooden handle, which was taller than an adult man, seemed to have been completely decayed, and the half-moon-shaped sickle blade at the top was full of gaps and cracks.

It's like a discarded farm tool.

But according to Luo Xia's understanding, this kind of long and large long-handled scythe, probably no one will work with this kind of thing in reality, it should only exist in that kind of fantasy works, generally used by various styles Beautiful girls use it as a weapon.

In reality, no one would use a sword, gun, and stick that has gone through countless actual combat tests to use this kind of thing. Therefore, this style of long-handled sickle should be a weapon from another world and another dimension.

And the one in front of me, it does come from another world——

The world of the dead.

Rorschach stared at the scythe for a long time, but finally didn't reach out to touch it.

It's better not to touch this kind of thing...

It should have been inserted here deliberately by the coffin, rather than accidentally falling down.

"Hmm...you should be fine, right? Why don't we go back to church first? By the way, how long are you planning to hug..."

Rorschach suggested, and then patted the back of the girl in red's hand.

Those slender, white and tender catkins were wrapping around his waist, hugging him tightly.

From the moment the weird funeral team appeared, the girl in red hugged Luo Xia tightly from behind, wrapped her hands around his waist, and put her face on his vest, looking like a couple in love , listening to the heartbeat of the lover.

But it seems that he is reluctant to let go, as if he is afraid that Luo Xia will leave him suddenly.

In short, it is very intimate and clingy...

And after hearing Rorschach's proposal, the girl in red didn't let go of him, instead she gently rubbed her pretty face on his back, like a kitten coquettishly.

Immediately afterwards, Rorschach's vision began to blur, and when he recovered, he had come to a utility pole hundreds of meters away, and then began to flash one after another, stepping on the roof, tree trunk, and car roof all the way, and stepped on The way back to the church.

This time, she seemed to have returned to her usual obedience and gentleness, and without Rorschach's reminder, she controlled the flickering rhythm very well, without causing him the slightest discomfort.

She didn't even need Rorschach to give directions, she knew to go to the church by herself.

And Rorschach remained silent all the way, pondering the previous meeting in his mind.

The girl in red eagerly took him to the North City Gate just for this special meeting, not to preside over the funeral or to stop the funeral procession.

It's just a simple meeting, that's all, nothing will happen, and it's very difficult for anything to happen.

Because the two sides are not in the same world at all...

The black and white inside and outside of the city is a place where the world of faded colors and the world of the dead [intersection]

That may not be accurate enough...

More precisely, the girl in red took herself to conduct an [observation] on the world of the dead, so the two worlds completed a brief [convergence]

For the living, the world of the dead should be dark, chaotic, and nothingness. It is precisely because I observe it that it presents some different pictures, allowing me to meet the spiritual master.

Yes, the whole process has nothing to do with that golden skeleton, it is just a simple skeleton, it just looks more valuable.

It may have been alive, and it may have lived wonderfully and powerfully, but now it is really just a skeleton, and then it is placed on the coffin as a decoration.

The same is true for the decayed black armored knights below, they are just moving decorations.

Only that coffin is special, so it is the only one that has not decayed and is still brand new.

But Luo Xia remembered that the last time he saw this coffin, it seemed that there were no skeletons and black-armored knights as decorations...

Yes, it was not the first time he saw this coffin, so he knew what happened before.

The last time I saw it was the last time...

Probably when he was buried in the belly of a wolf...

It's just that Luo Xia had just crossed at that time. Although he possessed all kinds of unique skills, he still lacked understanding and knowledge of this strange world, so he didn't know what the coffin was, and thought it was used to pretend to be himself.

And after being resurrected from the dead, after so many years, he has learned more about this world, and seeing this coffin again, Rorschach probably knows what this thing is.

It is both [death], and it also symbolizes [death]

It is death in a simple sense, the "death" of birth, old age, sickness and death, a very common state in the world, an objective law that life cannot get rid of.

So it will not decay, let time wash away, even if the world dies and the stars go out, it will still exist forever.

The Undertaker: Chapter 105 104. A New Understanding of Unknown Origins

"This is really an ordinary and special meeting..."

After thinking for a while, Rorschach sighed with emotion in a low voice.

The common thing is that [death] is a very common thing, a concept that even children understand;

The coffin, or a more beautiful coffin, symbolizes [death], which is also a matter of convention.

It does not care about good or evil positions, nor hostility and good intentions, it will not attack anyone, and it will not be attacked, it is a purely objective law.

And judging from the direction of the funeral procession, it seems that it is going to descend on the City of Oracles?

But in the city of oracle, [death] comes every day, and the current main business of the Avia Sect relies on this.

So it's really ordinary, nothing special.

And Rorschach has spent 50 years on the thirteenth floor of the Tribunal, and now he is a professional funeral priest who is in the limelight. Contacting [death], or witnessing [death], is already a normal daily situation.

What's more, he really died once and experienced [resurrection from death]...

So whether he spread out his inspiration or fiddled with the dull hair, he would not feel uneasy or dangerous.

Because this matter is essentially his daily routine.

But the special thing is that this way of contacting and witnessing [Death] is really unique, even the well-informed Rorschach has never experienced it.

Until he stood on the roof of Aunt Mary's house again, he was still whispering about today's unusualness.

"The souls of the dead are all looking to the north, unexplainable strange diseases are spreading in the nearby towns, [death] is coming to the city of the oracle in a special way, and there is a long-handled scythe that does not belong to this world... ..."

Luo Xia jumped off the roof and returned to the normal world, then turned around and said to the girl in red:

"Judging from my many years of experience in the industry, maybe there are some waves in the eternal [death] field?"

"You just want me to realize this, so you took me to see the coffin?"

The girl in red couldn't speak, so she could only hit his chest with her head, as if she was acting like a baby.

"This should be a confirmation, right? If it is a denial, you probably just ignore me?"

Rorschach asked tentatively.

The girl in red then bumped her head against his forehead again, expressing her confirmation.

Although I feel like my 'girlfriend' raised in the basement, sooner or later, there will be problems with this way of communication and relationship!

Luo Xia slandered like a scumbag, and didn't think about it further.

It wasn't until I went all the way back to the church, and quickly got into the basement, that I started to continue my previous thinking, and continued to discuss with the girl in red:

"Similar to the objective law of [death], generally there will be no changes or waves. People will die when they are killed, and they will die when their lifespan expires. This kind of thing itself cannot be changed..."

"But I remember that many years ago, a figurine briefly mentioned to me that once this objective law is abnormal, it means that someone wants to seize [authority] in this area..."

"The weird decorations on the coffin may be proof that they haven't been there since last time..."

"And that golden skeleton, sitting on top of the coffin, seems to want to override [death]? It can't really be that something is so reckless, right?"

"No... don't hit it, don't hit it, or do you hit another part?"

While rambling on about his speculation, Luo Xia rubbed his chest that was hit several times by the girl in red.

The girl in red obediently listened to his words, then stretched out her hands, put her arms around the back of Rorschach's head, and pressed on her rather predictable chest...

I don't know if he wants to hit Rorschach's head with his chest instead?Or would it be Rorschach hitting his chest with his forehead?

Anyway, it is indeed a collision with a different position, and it is both to each other...

Fortunately, Luo Xia had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly reached out to hold her shoulders, stopping her reckless behavior in time.

Although it shouldn't hurt if it really bumps into it, after all, she is not Nota, so she must be very soft.

But the influence is not very good, I am afraid of being misunderstood by others...

"Cough cough... talk about the business, talk about the business..."

Rorschach coughed twice, then continued:

"Anyway, as far as I know, there is no god claiming, even if it is only verbal claiming that he is in charge of the relevant authority in the field of [death], whether it is an orthodox or a cult..."

"Even [Light] [Life] [Love] [War] these domains have all kinds of gods involved, but only [Death] has no..."
