What's wrong with the doctor is so annoying

Chapter 116 The Curse of Eternal Life

The underworld, the final place where everything in the world is judged after death, can only be seen in boundless darkness and silence.

Charon, the only boatman on the Agron River, swung his oars and drove the piles of miserable dead souls to the river bank: "Go, go! You poor ghosts who have no one to put a silver coin in their mouths for tolls when they die! I said that if I have no money, I will wait here, and when my uncle is in a better mood, he will naturally take you across the river a year later!"

The undead whimpered and retreated to the shore under his scolding, and Charon showed a piercing smile in satisfaction: "That's right, since you have arrived in the underworld, you must abide by our rules here." Turned over and jumped onto the side of the boat, picked up the metal oars and stirred vigorously in the chaotic river water, the narrow boat was like a withered willow leaf, staggering on the road, "The number of dead people has increased sharply recently, making it difficult for me to work It's been a lot busy, tsk..."

Many undead who failed to squeeze into the boat reluctantly followed the boat and jumped into the river, trying to swim to the other side with their own strength, but they often sank to the bottom within a minute and turned into the water in the Agron River Ghost spirit.Whenever they see a new soul crossing the river in a boat, they will emerge from the water, desperately trying to drag the undead in the boat into the water.

Charon has been used to this kind of situation for a long time. Whenever a guy with no eyesight tries to climb up with his oars, he will smash a bunch of water ghosts down with his backhand, causing ghosts to cry and howl. Knowing that the ferrymen are not to be offended, they turned to attack the trembling undead on the boat. At least half of the undead would be dragged into the water and become the same kind of resentful spirits.

However, most of the passengers on this boat were soldiers who had just died in the Trojan War, and the toughness in their bones did not decrease by half with the loss of life. Facing the swarming water ghosts, they even dared to fight back violently. All the guys who disturbed the navigation were smashed back into the water, making the river as lively as a boil.

Charon hummed a ditty and shook the oars, happily admiring the lively scene of water ghosts and undead fighting each other in front of him. After all, the job of a ferryman is very boring.However, he quickly noticed the only undead huddled in the corner who was not involved in the struggle. It curled itself up into a ball, looking very tired.

Charon stretched out his paddle and poked the undead: "Why don't you fight those water ghosts? If they find that you won't resist, they will concentrate on attacking you and drag you into the water!"

The undead raised his head, and the festering and scorched face surprised Charon: "Huh? You even hurt your soul so badly, and this can only be caused by Zeus's thunder. What did you do to offend me?" The evil deeds of the god king?"

"...I don't know." Undead said weakly, "I don't even know why I appear here."

"Hey, what you said is really interesting. How many creatures in this world can accurately predict their own death? Not even those priests who claim to be able to listen to heaven! His two sons were sent across the river, and they were crying to me all the way why no one would listen to their prophecies, it made my ears callous!" Charon sneered and waved his oars to try to climb onto the side of the boat. The water ghosts knocked back one by one, "Could you be a priest too? You didn't deliver the right sacrifice to the Olympus gods on time, so you were struck dead by lightning?"

The undead lowered his head: "No, I'm just a military doctor. My only job in the past ten years has been to save lives and heal the wounded."

Charon sneered and said, "That's interesting, but it's not my job to judge your crime. Get off the boat!" He knocked on the side of the boat with a metal oar, making a deafening loud noise, "Get out of here! Go straight ahead and walk through the vast plain of truth, and the end is the trial court. Don't try to tell a lie to cover up your crimes in front of the three judges. You must know that the only end for fraudsters is the seventh prison. The flame hell of the eighth ditch!"

The undead disembarked one by one. After crossing the Agron River, they had basically lost their sense of autonomy, and could only drag their legs numbly to the distance. Looking around blankly: "I'm really... dead?"

"Why are you still in a daze?" Charon yelled at him while turning the bow, "There is no need to doubt anymore! There is no doubt that you are dead, hurry up and go to the trial with the army ! If a person wanders around in the underworld, he will be eaten by Cerberus as a snack—"

The undead watched silently as the boat gradually disappeared into the mist of the Agron River. He turned his head and carefully crossed the vast gray plain area step by step. When he once suspected that he was going in the wrong direction, a solemn pure white marble The building finally appeared in his sight.

The ghost guarding the steps with a sickle on his shoulders yawned big, half-closed his eyes and saw the visitor, and muttered to open the heavy carved door: "Huh? Why is there another...cough cough, listen to the dead below the steps." Come on! You must keep quiet before entering the court, if you offend the three judges, it is a very serious crime!"

The undead slowly climbed up the steps until they entered the empty courtroom. The front was the trial seat with a huge gap. The deceased under trial could only stay where they were and accept the condescending scrutiny of the three judges.

"The trial begins now." A clear voice from above echoed in the solemn courtroom, "The name of the deceased is Asclepius, the son of Apollo, the god of light and the sun, and Axo, the god of medicine and health. Father, the cause of death was God-King Zeus' punishment of thunder and god, the crime—resurrecting the human civilians, soldiers, generals and priests who died in the Trojan War, which violated the order of heaven and earth that the dead cannot be resurrected."

After the voice paused for a moment, another indifferent voice sounded again, "The verdict is as follows: Asclepius, the dead, is sentenced to disobey the will of the gods and fall into the eighth hell, the Ice Hell, to be executed immediately!"

With the end of the last sentence, a dark whip shadow fell from top to bottom like lightning, and it was about to send Asclepius into the icy hell, but was mercilessly blocked by a golden light up!

The third majestic voice suddenly raised its voice: "Who disturbed the court?"

"It's me!" The Goddess of War wrapped the whip of judgment with a golden spear in her hand, her golden eyes flashed fiercely, "I have objections to this judgment, please let me go to visit Hadi, the Lord of Hades Si, I will personally explain to him the ins and outs of all this!"

The clear voice sullenly said: "Absurd! Athena, you should know better than anyone else the truth that the dead cannot be resurrected. All the laws and regulations of the underworld are the will of His Majesty Hades. What if you see him in person?"

The cold voice calmed down: "Hmph, forget it, instead of wasting words here, it is better to use the facts to make her completely give up--Aiagos, Radamandis, you stay here to continue the work of the trial, I will Minos will just lead them around the Ring of Judas."

The black whip wrapped around the golden spear was suddenly loosened, whistling, and was put into the wide robe by the whip holder. A figure had appeared in front of Athena without a sound, and the silver-haired judge bowed to Athena. He saluted, but there was not much respect in his tone: "You two, please come with me."

Six headless black horses drove the carriage and galloped under the blood-red sky of the underworld. Athena couldn't help frowning when she saw countless undead struggling in hell through the car window.Asclepius, who was sitting across from her, couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Why did you appear here? It should be the time when the war is raging..."

"I was also entrusted by others." Athena's face became more and more ugly, "Because of your death, Apollo clashed with Zeus in grief and anger, and seriously injured the one-eyed three giants Kukroper who forged Zeus' thunder arrows." Si, Artemis caught in the middle and tried to persuade, but they were punished by Zeus to go to the world to meditate together. Unless they feel repentance from the bottom of their hearts for their treacherous and transgressive behavior, they will never return to Mount Olympus. And your daughter Queso wept and begged me to bring your soul back from the underworld, for which she gave her life to me, so here I am."

"How could this be..." Asclepius closed his eyes in pain.

Athena snorted coldly: "Besides, I also think that such a result is too unfair to you. Even if there is no pleading from others, I must come here."

"Here we are." There was a faint sound of the whip from outside the carriage. Minos reined in the horses and parked the carriage at the entrance of the Judas Ring.

Athena opened the door of the carriage and motioned for Asclepius to go down together. After landing, she couldn't help but glared at Minos who was sitting in the driver's seat and didn't intend to move at all. "Am I ignorant? Is this always the custom?"

Minos pulled the reins in his hand vigorously, turned the direction of the carriage and flew into the air, his tone was still neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm sorry, the only main god I am loyal to is His Majesty Hades."

Athena looked at the back of the carriage and clicked her tongue, turned around and pushed open the entrance of the Judas Ring Temple, and led Asclepius in. The vast palace was empty, extremely cold, and the furnishings were extremely simple. There is a delicate black marble throne behind the dark curtain at the end of the palace, and a vague figure can be vaguely seen sitting on it. The invisible coercion fills the whole palace, and Athena has to stand in front of the curtain. He stopped in fear.

"Hades, the just and strict lord of Hades, I didn't mean to disturb the cleanliness of this place." Athena said solemnly, "But Zeus's selfish desire led to his death. I must explain to you what Asclepius suffered. Please reconsider whether it is really necessary to take his life.”

With a slight movement of the heavy curtain, a blond woman wearing a daffodil crown stepped out from behind the throne. The white silk dress was embroidered with patterns of golden spikes with top-notch weavers. Above the waist, four wine-red garnets are inlaid on the front.

She walked down the steps gracefully, her skirt skimming the obsidian-paved ground like flowing water, and she stopped in front of the two of them, wondering: "Athena, as far as I know, you are not a messy person. I I just returned to the underworld from the heavens, did something happen that I don't know about in such a short period of time?"

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness Persephone." Athena turned sideways and motioned Persephone to observe the undead carefully, "He is Asclepius, the god of medicine, who lived in Troy for ten years. In the war, the lives of the seriously injured were saved countless times. No matter what race or identity the opponent was, as long as they asked him for help, they could get his treatment. But Zeus thought unreasonably that he bestowed the immortality that only belonged to the gods. He killed other living beings, excused his medical skills to destroy the order of heaven and earth, and forcibly lowered the sky thunder to kill him!"

Persephone widened her emerald green eyes in astonishment: "How could such a thing happen? If it is true, there should be relevant detailed records in the verdict. You have asked the three justices of the court Yet?"

Athena frowned and said: "It was Minos who brought us here. According to the verdict, Asclepius violated the will of the gods and was about to be thrown into the ice hell for the crime of treason, but I Think this verdict is wrong! He shouldn't have died at all!"

A deep and unquestionable voice suddenly came from behind the curtain: "But the dead cannot be brought back to life. This precedent must not be set, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Immediately, a young figure stood up from the throne and walked out of the curtain slowly.

The night and the stars are dotted on the black hair and robes, the brilliance of the moon covers the beautiful face, the jade-colored eyes are like the purest lake water, watching everything in the world without any emotion, only in Persephone On the body, his eyes will stop for a while.

At that moment, Athena, who claimed to be the holder of the golden apple, was a little shaken. She had seen too many beauties who were said to be overwhelming and comparable to gods, but she still fell into a trance for a very short time when she saw the true face of Hades. ——The image of this lord of the underworld, who is famous for his ruthlessness and justice, is too different from the various versions circulated in the heavens.

Hades, however, ignored Athena's complicated expression, and issued the order to evict the guest indifferently: "Since Asclepius is already dead, don't expect to return to the world of the living——Athena, please Come back."

Athena came back to her senses immediately, and couldn't help arguing loudly: "Even if you knew that his death was just the result of Zeus's selfish desire to vent his anger, you wouldn't change the verdict, would you?!"

Hades said coldly: "The judgment has its own laws of the underworld to follow, and you don't need to worry about it."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the sword was about to explode. Persephone quickly whispered to Hades: "Your Majesty, Athena is also out of righteous indignation, and she has no malicious intentions."

Hades' gaze stayed on his wife's face for a moment, and he shook his head lightly: "You once softened your heart and gave Orpheus' wife Eurydice the hope of resurrection, but in the end they failed to pass the journey from death to life. The test. This unsuccessful example has induced the creatures on the ground to have unrealistic fantasies, thinking that as long as enough sincere love can easily break through the boundary of life and death, but you and I know very well that this is simply impossible. "

Athena's face tensed for a moment, and finally she sighed: "Forget it, if it really doesn't work..."

A brisk youthful voice suddenly came out: "Oh my god, are you all here? Then I will save trouble!"

Immediately afterwards, the space was torn apart, and Hermes, who was standing on wings and holding a staff of two snakes, came out of it, winked at everyone playfully, then coughed, pretending to be serious: "I'm here He brought the oracle of God King Zeus: He felt very regretful about punishing Asclepius, the God of Medicine in private anger, and was willing to raise his image into the sky and turn it into a constellation, and at the same time ordered..." He caught a glimpse of Hardy After seeing Si's unkind expression, he immediately changed his words, "Ahem, please ask Hades, the lord of the underworld, for extra grace and allow him to return to the world."

"...It's just nonsense!" Hades snorted coldly.

Persephone smiled and said to Athena: "Since you have the decree from Zeus, you can take him away."

"Wait a minute." Hades poured cold water on everyone present expressionlessly, "Asclepius' soul was injured by the thunder, his body/body has long since disappeared, and his soul has also been seriously damaged. If he is reincarnated directly like this, his soul will be torn apart by the power of the godhead, and will be completely wiped out. In other words, if he wants to reincarnate safely, he must strip the godhead before he can enter reincarnation."

Athena turned and looked at Asclepius who had been silent all the time: "What do you think?"

"I am willing to give everything, as long as I can return to the world..." Asclepius reached into the damaged soul, and slowly peeled off a warm silver halo, "But there is one thing I must tell you all that the God of Medicine has the power of recovery and regeneration, if it falls into the hands of unruly people, it will inevitably cause more terrible disputes than the Trojan War, please keep it safe."

Hermes rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, intending to take over the Godhead of the God of Medicine: "In this case, then..."

Hades glanced at Hermes, and Hermes suddenly felt a biting chill creeping up his spine, and immediately closed his mouth knowingly.

Athena Sichou took a moment and suggested: "How about this, the god of medicine is useless to the underworld where there is no life, and it is best to leave it to the king of the underworld and the queen of the underworld for safekeeping."

Hades didn't intend to take over the godhead, but just gestured to Persephone, which surprised her: "Your Majesty, are you going to let me keep such an important thing alone?"

Hades said in a deep voice, "Why not? You are my wife, the queen of the underworld, and enjoy the same authority as me."

Faced with her husband's invisible pampering, Persephone smiled helplessly, and carefully absorbed the god of medicine into her body under the watchful eyes of several gods.Hades immediately rolled up his sleeves and flicked Asclepius' soul into reincarnation, and said to Athena, "Just go directly to the city of Athens to welcome his birth."

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, then I will return to the heaven to report to Zeus, don't bother!" Hermes, who witnessed the whole process, opened the space passage with a smile and jumped straight in. Athena asked Pluto and After the queen of the underworld gave thanks, she followed Hermes and left the underworld, and the passage was closed immediately.

Odysseus looked at the collapsed temples and palaces around him, his eyes were far away: "I thought the matter ended here, but I never thought that this is just the beginning of everything."
