Chapter 175 - Salamander from Celestia

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the 130th customer.

A huge red salamander crawled in. The red salamander's skin was covered with a layer of mucus, leaving a trace like a snail.

Its eyes are bright blue, and there are small spots of the same bright blue next to its cheeks, which are very striking against the red skin.The ears are shaped like branches of coral, translucent enough to reflect candlelight.

"Hello, what should I call you?"

"Ikadon, Ikaika."

"Is Icarton your name?"

"Ikaika."

I guess, Ikaika is supposed to mean "right right".

"Ikaton, what do you want from me today?" I wrote down its name on a piece of paper.

"I want to go home, Ikaika."

Ikaika might also be a modal particle... I wondered to myself.

"Where is your home?"

"On the other side of the black hole, far, far away."

"What black hole? What's on the other side of the black hole?"

"A black hole is a tunnel gate that can be jumped. Through the black hole, you can reach another galaxy. My home is in another galaxy, Ikaika."

"What does another galaxy look like?"

"Lots of green plants, corals on land, water everywhere. Everyone looks like me, in all colors. There are krill, algae, and tentacle octopuses in the water. We eat the phosphorus in the water Shrimp, algae and baby octopus. It's a cozy place, I love it."

"Then how did you leave your homeland and come to hell?"

"Hell... hell... so this place is called hell?"

"Hell is called here, which is the name of this dimension."

"The place where I live is called Tiannuxing, and it is a very beautiful place."

"Then how did you come to Hell from Celestia?"

Ikadon narrowed his eyes and thought hard: "One day, the black hole expanded and became very big. The water on the ground would be sucked into the black hole, and my parents and I were floating in the air. Less than krill and seaweed, I'm starving.

The black hole is getting bigger and bigger.My parents and I were sucked into the black hole. My parents disappeared, and so did the water and my home.

My body was stretched very long in the black hole. I originally had four legs, but now I have sixteen.What used to be one head turned into three heads.I felt like I had eaten a bad stomach, feeling sick and wanting to vomit.

When my body returns to its current shape, sixteen legs turn back to four, three heads turn back to one head, and here I am. "

"Where exactly is it?"

"I was at the entrance of a cave. It was dark outside the cave, which made me feel scared. It was warm inside the cave, as if there was light. I walked into the cave. The more I went in, the warmer it became, which made me feel very comfortable. want to sleep.

I kept walking and walking until I came to a pool.There are large round leaves and pink buds in the pool.I am so happy to see the water!Immediately jumped in and rolled several times in it. "

"Oh, what you saw should be the lotus pond of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Who is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"It's okay, you continue to talk, and then what happened?"

"The water is cool and soft, and it's very lubricating when applied to my body. It reminds me of Celestia. I miss home, my parents, and I cry when I think about them. I miss them so much." , I want to go home."

Having said that, Ikadon looked sad.

"And then? How did you find my firm?"

"When I was crying, I heard a voice that seemed to come out of the lotus pond. The voice asked me why I was crying.

I said, I miss home so much.

The voice asked, what if you can never go back?
I said I don't know, I just want to go home.

The voice said, now that you have come here, let's walk around here and have a look.When I find the answer, I can go home. "

"Answer? What answer?"

"I also asked that voice, what was the answer?
The voice said that the question was part of the answer.

After that, no longer answer any of my questions. "

"interesting."

"So the voice talking to me is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva you mentioned?"

"Sounds alike, maybe it is."

"My lord, what am I looking for?"

"I don't know either, what are you looking for?"

"You don't know the answer either?"

"I don't know what answer you're looking for."

"Then how do we find out?"

"If you want to find the answer, you must first have a question. The Bodhisattva also said that the question is part of the answer, and that's probably what it means."

"But, but, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem you most want to solve?"

"Why would my planet be swallowed by a black hole? Why would I get separated from my parents and fall to this place alone?"

"These two questions already sound very esoteric, you can try to find the answers to these two questions in hell."

"What if there are no answers in hell?"

"Then go elsewhere. The answer may appear during the journey, or after the journey is over. It is even possible that the answer is already clear before the journey begins, and the journey is only to verify the accuracy of the answer sex.

Whatever the answer, the journey is important too! "

"What is the journey?"

"What do you think a journey is?"

"Just go play somewhere else."

"It's not wrong to think so."

"But I'm so scared now, it doesn't look like I'm playing, it looks like I'm being punished."

"Punishment, what punishment?"

"At Tiannvxing, we have a very strict system. If I do something wrong, my tail or limbs will be cut off. Although the tail and limbs can still grow out of their own cells, it still hurts when they are cut off. .

The feeling of fear now is like the feeling when I was pressed on the execution platform and my tail was cut off.

I know my tail will grow back, but I'm still so scared. "

"What happens after the tail is cut off?"

"I feel very wronged, but after thinking about it, there will be a new tail, and the feeling of grievance will soon pass. I have been more careful in doing things since then, and I dare not do wrong things again."

"It is indeed a very severe punishment."

"If I do something wrong in hell, will my tail be chopped off?"

"Not necessarily, I am not in charge of the reward and punishment system in hell, and I don't know much about it."

"Then hope I don't do anything wrong."

"Even if the tail is chopped off, it can still grow back."

"But it's still scary..."

"If a human being has an arm chopped off, that arm is lost forever."

"Won't it grow out again?"

"Well, it won't grow any longer."

"Ah!" Ikaton curled up and hugged his tail, "My tail is really powerful."

"Then let's walk around in hell and find the answer to the question?"

"Can you go home if you find it?"

"Let's go find it first, go find it first."

Ikadon lowered his head, looking a little discouraged.

"Maybe this journey will be much more interesting than you imagined? Maybe you can make a lot of friends and meet different souls... Although it is not as beautiful as Celestia, Hell has its own characteristics, right?"

"Well."

"Go, I hope you have a good time on the next journey."

The salamander was still very hesitant, as if it still wanted to ask me something.I waited for a while, but it didn't say anything.

"Well, I hope I can see you again later."

"Goodbye."

After Ikadon left the office, I hugged my knees and sat on the wooden chair, thinking about the natural disaster.

The black hole swallowed up the original beautiful homeland of Ikadon, which is an out-and-out natural disaster.Natural disasters are always irresistible and ruthless. It is a major explosion or extreme transformation after a certain energy has accumulated to a certain level.

When living on the earth, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, heavy rains, floods, infectious diseases, high temperature warnings or low temperature warnings, and various natural disasters can be seen almost every month.

Dealing with these natural disasters is already so difficult, and rebuilding after disasters is even more difficult.

How on earth do people still have the energy to wage war in such a situation of difficulty plus difficulty?

My thoughts were flying wildly, and my head became confused when I thought about it.

I rolled over on my back on the floor and stared at the ceiling, which reflected the flickering light of the candles.

I don't remember how long I have been here, and I don't remember how long I have been away from this world.

Many memories of life are slowly fading. That person is me, but it doesn't look like me.

Pen, and 31 guests, your work in hell is coming to an end.Do you remember your first vow?
I looked at the candlelight, talking to myself, and my eyelids gradually became heavy.

I fell asleep.
