All living beings in hell

Chapter 111 - Family Curse
The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed four No.60 guests.

A magician in a red and black robe strode in from the door, and his black high-heeled Chelsea boots kicked the stirrups on the ground.

"Hey, think of a number in your mind, my friend."

The magician walked up to my wooden table in a few steps, resting his elbows on the table.He had Mediterranean features, curly black hair, blue-green eyes, and looked to be in his late forties.His whole body is full of indescribable mysterious aura, reminiscent of a slightly drunk man who inexplicably came to strike up a conversation in a certain bar in Barcelona.

"Think about it."

"You're thinking five." The magician said confidently.

"What you think is that it doesn't matter even if this guy temporarily changes the number, you have the routine to continue playing this magic trick. You even wish I could say 'wrong', so that a bigger surprise can be revealed later."

"My God, you just ruined my job."

The magician rolled up his sleeves and sank into the wooden chair a little discouraged.

"Are all you hell officials so hard to please?"

"Humans don't have magic, so they like the hallucinations and entertainment experience brought by magic. Magic is everywhere in hell, and it is probably difficult for magicians to do it. For example, the ability to read minds, which is called a magical skill in the world, hell Probably every official in China knows it, and so do many ghosts and goblins.”

"Oh, what should I do? I'm unemployed and unemployed." The magician rubbed his face, and there was no complaint or anxiety in his tone, and he stated the fact calmly, with some exaggerated performance tone.

"Tell me about you, what should I call you?" I asked.

"You can read minds, you can read them."

"Don't read, you say."

The magician seemed a little disappointed, but he politely began to introduce himself: "Lening Tosko, professional magician and great liar, it is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency."

"Luen, why are you looking for me today?"

"I wanted to do some magic tricks for your appreciation, but you don't seem to be interested in magic."

"My job scope does not include appreciating magic. If you really want to show it, let's talk about it after the work is over."

"Then how should I cooperate with your work?"

"Tell me how you got to hell."

"Believe it or not, every male member of our family goes to hell when he dies. It's a very, very ancient curse from ancient Egypt."

"What curse? Who cast it?"

"It's too long ago, I don't know where to start. This is about my entire family, spanning thousands of years."

I poured hot tea for Len and myself.

"Don't worry, speak slowly."

Lun took a sip of hot tea and frowned: "This tea is so bitter!"

"Pure your mind and refresh your mind."

Lun was not very satisfied with my explanation. He put down the teacup and pushed the tea aside with a disgusted expression.

"Well, things start with Ramses II, the great pharaoh who created a prosperous age where magic and technology coexist. My ancestors are ancient Egyptians, and I don't know what they did at that time. The social status is probably higher than that of the common people, but it has no blood relationship with the royal family. It is said that it was an era of real gods, and people wrote the appearance of the gods into their characters. The statues of the gods form the pillars of the palace, and the language of the gods Echoed in dreams. The fate of every Egyptian is inseparable from the gods, from the pharaoh to the slave.

With the power of gods and technology, various divinations are popular among the people.Warlocks, witches, and seers are popular occupations among the folk.My grandparents met a witch in that time.However, my grandparents did something that angered the witch. The witch didn't cast a curse on my grandparents on the spot, but told other warlocks about it.

My grandparents may have uttered blasphemous words or questioned the ability of divination, and hundreds of magicians and witches cursed our family in a furious situation.That is, every male in our family will go to hell after death, where he will be burned by fire and have no rest for his soul. "

"Do you want to break the curse?" I asked.

"Unlock the curse? How? Time has passed for too long, and the inheritance from generation to generation has made me lose hope of unraveling the curse. Since I was a child, as a male in our family, I have been 'going to hell' I grew up in fear. When I really fell into hell, I have adapted to it until now."

"So you don't want to untie it."

"As you please, Your Excellency. Do you have any good plan?"

"It takes a lot of effort to unravel the curse, and it also requires patience and wisdom to face it. I don't know exactly what happened so far, so I don't have a specific strategy. If you are willing to unravel the curse, we can It might help to go back to the time when the curse was born and see what happened."

"Even if you go back, you may not be able to untie it, right?"

"A lot depends on your personal will. The more you want to get rid of the curse, the easier it will be."

"why?"

"Your will represents your trust in me. To deal with such a thing, I need your strong trust."

Len looked at me, he hesitated.

"But you look young."

"Is my appearance the reason for whether you trust me or not?"

Lun didn't answer, he was still hesitating.

"Okay, it's okay, don't force it. That's it. Are the other male members of your family still in hell?"

"My father and grandpa are here. Grandpa is one behind me in line, and my father came late, and got a ticket and got a hundred. We will all see you sooner or later."

"Alright, if it's about dealing with the curse of the entire family, it's better for every family member to ask for their opinion."

"To be honest, my lord, I don't think we really care about falling into hell. Or, after falling into hell, we don't care about it."

"how do I say this?"

"Before I came to hell, I read a lot of religious books, mythological albums, and classical poetry collections, just to know the situation of hell as comprehensively as possible. Before I was alive, I put all my attention on the study of hell, except I never seemed to care about anything other than making a living by performing magic tricks and defrauding women of their money.

Of course I am also married, have two sons and a daughter.However, I never cared about them.No matter how beautiful my wife is or how well-behaved my children are, they don't belong to me.All I have in mind is that this is always going to end, that I don't belong here, that my final destination was predetermined thousands of years ago. "

"Do you know where is after hell?"

Lun froze for a moment: "After hell?"

"You can reincarnate and re-enter reincarnation, hell is not the end."

"Then what is the end?"

"There is no end, only a process."

Sweat beaded on Len En's head: "If there is no end, wouldn't everything we have experienced be meaningless!"

"Looking at it from another perspective, you felt that your end was hell, so you couldn't enjoy the present moment of life, and you were deeply shrouded in fear of the unknown that is coming. Do you think that the meaning of your life is to go to hell?"

"Is not it?"

"No. Every present state of life has its own meaning. The meaning of being alive is to be alive. The fear and curse that has yet to come is only part of it."

"I don't agree. I think my life has reached the highest meaning. It is to complete my mission and successfully come to hell. This is my end."

"Do you think your mission is to fulfill the curse passed down from generation to generation in the family?"

"Curses like this bond me to my family and make me feel like I'm part of a larger system."

"What kind of feeling is this?"

Lenn said almost without thinking: "Family. We are ordinary people who share the same fate. We are bound together in the process of bearing the same curse, and that means more to me than anything else."

"Then you should probably thank those hundreds of witches and warlocks. They helped your family members, especially the males, bind together tightly, shouldn't they?"

"Thank you? Your Excellency, are you joking? A curse is a curse, and being bound is our own choice. I still hate those sorcerers and witches. If I had spells, I would curse them too. They ruined my life."

"They didn't ruin your life, you chose to live your life that way. And before I tell you that hell isn't the end, you don't accept the concept. You want it for an end, or a committed goal Give up all your current feelings. You are unwilling to face the curse itself because you are tightly bound to the men of your family. How can you still blame the warlocks and witches for these things? Why don’t you blame Your grandparents?
Starting unreasonable resentment without even knowing who the perpetrator is, hell does suit you.Just take this place as your destination and continue to stay.

If you can't see the soul at the moment, no matter how beautiful things appear in front of your eyes, they only have the urge to destroy everything in their hearts.All of this, including yourself. "

"I don't want to continue talking with you," Len stood up angrily, "I thought it was a relaxed and happy conversation, but I'm so disappointed."

"Disappointed with me?"

"You let me down. I thought you would be more powerful, such as breaking the curse all at once. As a result, you can only curse people. Hell officials, it's ridiculous."

"This is my office style. If you don't like it, please go ahead and turn left when you go out."

"I'll go and tell my grandpa, don't come to you, it's useless."

I didn't say anything, and pointed in the direction of the gate.The jade bracelet glowed, and the door slammed open.

"please."

Lun kicked over the wooden chair and walked out angrily.
