Chapter 582: Crossing Death

"Last will and testament..."

In his sleep, Xia De's consciousness gradually recovered along with the repeating voice.

In a trance, he realized that he was standing on the boundless ridge again, looking up at the huge silver moon disk in the starry sky.

"Am I dreaming?"

At this moment, "her" voice came from the dream:

【Outsider, you have received a piece of information.】

"What?"

Xia De on the ridge asked blankly, fully awake in the dream, looking at everything around him in surprise:

"Why am I dreaming of this place again?"

【Communication has been established with you through unknown relics and methods, and a piece of information has been transmitted to you.】

As the voice fell, the voice that had echoed countless times already came clearly in the dream again:

"Xia De Hamilton, open your eyes quickly, I am Rat Ao Gu Si. This is the last will and testament I have sent to you from the world of the dead."

"Priest Ao Gu Si?"

Xia De in the dream only felt his scalp tingling. He heard this clearly, but couldn't understand it:

"Priest!"

He turned around, but there was no one on the ridge under the moon. Priest Ao Gu Si's illusory and hoarse voice was still repeating. Xia De looked around blankly, then suddenly raised his head and raised his hand:

"Fate Ring!"

With the surge of steam, the high-speed rotating Fate Ring appeared behind Xia De. The Fate Ring under the moon seemed to be plated with a layer of silver, but this time there was no sound at all.

"Echo!"

The Spirit Rune stained with the first drop of divinity suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. In this light, Xia De used the miracle:

"Soul Echo!"

On the ridge under the moon where there was only Xia De, a blurry figure took shape bit by bit.

"It really works."

Xia De thought in his heart.

Priest Ao Gu Si, with a transparent body, finally took shape under the illumination of the spirit light. He stood in front of Xia De, looking around in surprise, and then looked up at the sky:

"Xia De, where is this?"

"This is my dream."

"How can this dream look so strange?"

The priest looked even more surprised than Xia De.

"This is not important, Priest, what exactly happened?"

Xia De asked suspiciously. The priest's phantom stopped looking at the moonlight overhead, but coughed and looked into Xia De's eyes.

The Outsider suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Oh, Xia De, yes, time is running out, let's get to the point. I am very glad that you could let me see you one last time, this must be the protection of my Lord. It's like this, the matter is very simple, I died, and I am conveying my last will and testament to you."

"What?"

The expression on Xia De's face froze.

"I don't have much time, don't ask questions."

The priest raised his hand to stop Xia De from speaking, his speaking speed was very fast:

"I have already arrived in Midehillburg, and then because of some reasons, I crossed the boundary of death, and then died... In short, you don't have to think about saving me, there is no possibility of that. It's just because of the characteristics of the relic, my miracle 【Last Will】, and the fact that I once gave you my power, that I can contact you now. This is my last will and testament, please remember it well—"

He coughed, not giving Xia De any chance to ask questions:

"You don't have to look for my body. Please supervise the donation of all my property to the Tobeisike Diocese of the Dawn Church. My potion workshop is left to you, Xia De, you need this.

In addition, for that Level 0 relic I buried in the church, ask An Na Te to find a way to dig it out, don't leave it in the church all the time.

Although there is no body, I hope to have a tomb in Tobeisike. Just bury my clothes in it. I have discussed the location of the tomb with the doctor, just tell him directly.

Finally, I promised to donate some quilts to the Sunshine Orphanage in Tobeisike during the winter. I hope you contact Bishop Ou Wen and donate those quilts in your name."

"Priest..."

Xia De reached out, but his hand passed through the priest's transparent body.

Priest Ao Gu Si looked at Xia De with regret. Under the huge silver moon disk overhead, his body quickly became more transparent:

"Xia De, I'm sorry, I really have died, please accept this fact."

He smiled at Xia De, but his eyes were very sad:

"Everyone of us might die, right?"

Xia De couldn't accept it. He opened his mouth, but found that he was like aphasic and couldn't speak anymore.

"Don't be sad for me, all mortals must die, all things must come to an end. Xia De, I am very satisfied to have lived to this age. I am very glad to know you, and also very glad to know Shi Nai De, An Na Te, and Lu Yi Sha. It is you who made my later life so interesting. Xia De, being able to see you at the end is something I didn't expect.

Farewell..."

A black hole appeared silently behind Priest Ao Gu Si, and countless transparent hands reached out, grabbed Priest Ao Gu Si's body, and pulled that extremely faint figure toward the darkness behind.

Those hands seemed to be very afraid of the light of the huge silver moon overhead, but even so, they still grabbed the priest under the moonlight.

"No!"

The moonlight in his hand flew out, but it just passed through those arms, as if they were just phantoms.

Xia De reached out again, wanting to pull the priest, but his hand passed through the priest's transparent body. Looking at the hole that had stretched out countless arms again, darkness, loneliness, death, Xia De in the dream actually shivered. He seemed to have really seen the concept of death itself.

【Outsider, you have gained insight into "death."】

The priest was pulled into the darkness by those hands. The moonlight illuminated the hole, and then the hole disappeared, leaving only Xia De maintaining the posture of wanting to pull Priest Ao Gu Si. The priest's voice seemed to have been echoing in his mind.

"Priest Ao Gu Si, died?"

He asked himself.

"No!"

He sat up from the bed suddenly, startling the cat beside the pillow.

"What happened just now?"

He panted and asked in his heart, his eyes looking at his bedroom in the darkness, feeling that his back was already soaked. The curtains were closed, but in the cracks of the curtains, he could see the faint morning light. A night had passed.

Little Miya stood up and patted Xia De's hand on the bed with its little paw. It seemed to want to comfort him.

【The other party entered your dream, and you made his soul appear briefly through "Echo." Being able to perceive the soul characteristics of the object, it is indeed your friend.】

"Priest Ao Gu Si? Really died?"

In the dream, he felt this fact was a bit illusory. After waking up and thinking about this, Xia De felt more and more that things were a bit absurd. He didn't understand, didn't understand at all. He had just won the champion of "Great City Player 1853," and Priest Ao Gu Si had just gone to Midehillburg on a business trip. Why did the priest suddenly die?

【There is a subtle difference between the soul of the dead and the soul of the living. He is indeed not a living person, but he is not dead yet.】

"What do you mean?"

Xia De noticed the meaning in the words.

【He is in a subtle state between death and non-death.】

"Still savable?"

【Cannot give an answer, but his distance from death is closer than the distance of a Ringed Shushi from "another me."】

Xia De got out of bed and opened the curtains. Outside, he could already see the faint morning light. It was 6:10:

"Dawn, death, priest..."

He clenched his fists and looked at himself in pajamas in the glass reflection:

"Priest, I won't let you die, don't you even think about dying! The next stop is, Midehillburg!" ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
