When Shelly saw favonovel.com reacting vigorously while searching the woman’s soul, favonovel.com could not help but feel overwrought. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” favonovel.com asked.
Alex slowly let his hand go.
Meanwhile, that woman was already in a muddled state after favonovel.com main soul had received severe damage. The old iron chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge didn’t intend to let favonovel.com go and soon dragged favonovel.com under the bridge.
Over there, the River Styx was surging.
Her soul immediately sank into the water without even having time to bubble on it.
Alex looked at Shelly. “The Pool of Afterlife. We can truly return to the mortal realm and reshape our flesh and blood vessels only if we enter the Pool of the Afterlife. And, this place is known as the Underworld.”
Shelly froze for a brief moment. “I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”
Alex said, “There’s another important point. Each person who enters this place will be given a hundred years. They have to be reborn within that time, and those who fail can only wait to perish or borrow stuff to stay behind or snatch away someone else’s qualification before rebirth, just like that woman earlier. Moreover, this place doesn’t belong to a realm on Earth. Many still come in and consider this a place for trials.”
Shelly walked down Persephone’s Folly Bridge. Her beautiful eyes gleamed. If it weren’t for favonovel.com short figure, favonovel.com would’ve surely been devastatingly beautiful. He wondered who favonovel.com must’ve been in favonovel.com previous life.
“I remembered something about the legend of the Underworld…”
“Do you really know about that?” Alex approached with great interest.
Shelly said, “I’ve only heard about it, and I can’t guarantee if it’s true.”
Alex said, “Go ahead.”
Shelly nodded. “Rumor has it that there used to be an intermediate station on the way to River Styx called the Underworld. A magistrate once enforced the laws here, but favonovel.com later strayed into the demonic path, refined the entire Underworld into a demonic realm, and separated it from River Styx to jump out of the three realms. However, Dairaionji Temple suppressed favonovel.com in the end… The Pool of Afterlife is indeed in the Underworld, but rumors were that it was the place the magistrate had demonized. So, I guess it won’t be easy.”
“A hundred years. The pool of Afterlife…” Alex frowned, but favonovel.com soon calmed down.
He came here with a purpose to enter Dairaionji Temple and help his father resist the Soul Planting. Hence, favonovel.com had to enter the Pool of Afterlife within a hundred years at all costs.
Alex exited the mind palace.
Shirley was shouting his name.
“What’s wrong?” Alex asked.
“What’s going on with you? I kept shouting at you, but you didn’t even respond. I thought something must’ve happened.”
Alex looked at favonovel.com and said with a nod, “Something did happen. I ahnost died! Do you remember your previous experience? A woman ahnost possessed your soul. She disguised herself as your mother and asked you to offer your soul! You nearly promised her. Luckily I stopped you in time, but that b*tch targeted me and wanted to put me to death… I just survived a catastrophe!”
Alex explained in a grave tone, his expressions displaying a lingering fear.
Shirley really was moved after favonovel.com heard that. “Alex Rockefeller, I owe you my life. Just forget what happened.”
Alex was satisfied with favonovel.com tactfulness. However, later, Shirley asked favonovel.com a question. “What did you see in my memory?”
Alex froze. “Do you have any impression of it?”
Shirley shook favonovel.com head. “It’s very vague as a dream world, but I knew it wasn’t. It’s a memory of my past, but I can never remember it for some reason. My grandpa said that was a memory from when I was very young. Most people would forget that sort of experience, but I always feel that it’s important to me.”
Alex declined to comment and just replied with an ‘oh’.
“You saw it, right? Tell me. You saw my mother. What kind of memory is that?”
“It’s very simple. Your mother was sleeping…”
“And?”
“You wet your pants.”
“Huh..?”
Shirley felt an impulse to smack him. “Impossible. I felt something thanks to that woman’s soul possession. I believe I saw blood, a lot of blood…”
“That’s normal, isn’t it?” Your mother should endure those few days every month.”
“Alex Rockefeller! I’ll treat you as a friend from now on! Don’t you let me down!”
When Alex thought of that desperate and helpless little girl in favonovel.com latent memory, it was still unbearable to him. “It was really nothing. I didn’t pay attention to it at that time either. I was busy looking for that humanoid demon…”
