Chapter 8 As long as he wants me to be with him, I am willing to stay here for him 2
If he's doing well, I'm willing to give it up.
"Let's go!" I said, pulling Shang Yi.
After walking a few steps, Shang Yi broke away from my hand and said, "Do you understand what I said? What's the point of you going there? He doesn't know you and won't protect you. Have you forgotten that you are an angel?"
"Am I still me?" I was a little confused. I thought I was no longer me after coming down from up there.
"Are you kidding? The Emperor of Heaven didn't take your wings away, so of course you are..."
"Since I am an angel, I will protect myself."
"Come on, I think you don't even know how to spread the wings behind you." Shang Yi's eyes showed contempt. He put one hand on his waist and looked around.
I realized that he would not take me to hell easily, so I made my attitude clear: "Please! Even if you don't take me there, I will find other ways."
"But..." Shang Yi was still hesitating.
"Shang Yi..." I grabbed his hand and placed it on my left chest, smiling and said, "If I can't have happiness in the end, I can give you my heart and let you leave hell."
When Shang Yi heard what I said, he stopped moving for a moment and just stared at me blankly.
The next second, he hugged me tightly and said loudly: "How can you be so heartless? Do you think I still want your heart?"
Of course I know you don't want my heart anymore, but if I can't be happy in the end, it's better to die, isn't it? It's also my wish to be able to help you.
Shang Yi finally agreed and took me to hell.
There was darkness in front of my eyes, and I always felt that a cold breath was approaching, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
But as we walked, we felt very hot again, and gradually we could see some things. In addition to the strange rocks, there was a red magma pool in front of us, bubbling out.
I couldn't help but take a step back. It was the first time I saw such boiling magma, so I was a little scared.
"Are you scared? Do you know what hell is?" Shang Yi looked at me, with a face that was neither funny nor sad.
I pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't it just lava? It's not a ghost. What's there to be afraid of?"
Even if it's a ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of, right? I've died once before, haven't I? Stay calm...
"Let's go!"
After saying that, I calmed myself down and took a big step forward.
I followed Shang Yi and walked forward, but I vaguely felt a chill, as if it was blocking my progress.
What should I do? Shang Yi didn't seem to be affected at all, as if he was only targeting me.
I took some steps with some difficulty, and the scenery in front of me made me marvel. So this is what hell looks like. I really saw it. Rather than hell, it is more like an ancient city. There are actually streets. What are the people who come and go around like normal people? Are they all ghosts?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble all over.
The light here is extremely dim, but fortunately there are countless lights on, illuminating the entire hell.
"This place is called Rukongai. Some people who die cannot be reincarnated, so they live here, provided they haven't done anything bad." Seeing my reaction, Shang Yi explained.
As I walked, I saw a gate about several meters high. Hanging on it was a huge lantern with two words written on it - Underworld.
Whoosh!
Like heaven, this door is so high that it makes people feel very small.
"Not everyone can enter here. Even though I'm a demon, I don't usually live here."
"I know." The cave he took me to last time was where the devils lived. However, hell was really different from what I had imagined.
"Yingning, what you see is only one floor. Not every floor is so peaceful and serene. You go in by yourself." Shang Yi said, scratching his head, as if he was helpless about the door in front of him.
"Well, I can go in by myself!"
In fact, my heart felt like it was hanging in mid-air and it was difficult to calm down. This uncontrollable emotion made me even more uneasy. I couldn’t imagine what I would face after going in.
"Oh, forget it. I'll take you in. It's not the first time I've trespassed anyway!" Shang Yi spread his huge wings, hugged me and jumped.
Actually, I should be able to do it, right? Unfortunately, I don’t even know how to open my wings, and I don’t know how I returned to the human world.
After entering, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Actually, hell isn't that scary! Why does An Lengxi think I can't survive here?"
"That's because you just arrived. There is no blue sky and white clouds here, nor are there flowers, plants or trees. I also said that what you see is not all. There are eighteen levels of hell. Moreover, the Lord of Hell particularly hates humans..."
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I don't know the details, but I heard that he once fell in love with a human girl, but that girl later betrayed him. Since then, he has begun to hate humans and doesn't allow people from Hell to date humans." Shang Yi told me everything he heard, "So, you have to be extra careful. Although strictly speaking, you are no longer a human now."
"Okay, I understand." I nodded thoughtfully.
While I was thinking, the person who appeared in front of me made me feel like my heart was being pulled hard.
An Lengxi?
He had a cold expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something, and his eyes were somewhat empty.
I couldn't help but take a step forward, just one step, and he noticed my presence. He immediately raised his head and stared at me with hostile and suspicious eyes, keeping alert at all times.
This couldn't help but make me feel a little hurt.
"An Lengxi, do you really not remember me?" I tried to ask in a calm tone.
"Who are you? Why should I remember you?" An Lengxi immediately questioned.
Really don't recognize me? Maybe forgetting is a good choice, just like when I took Shang Yi's medicine, I felt very comfortable in an instant, without any constraints.
But forgetting is also very sad...
I gave a bitter smile and said, "If you can be happy, I am willing to accept it."
After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave, walking towards Shang Yi who was waiting on the side.
"Do you think you can come to hell and leave as you please?" The voice almost broke my eardrums, and I felt the place where I was standing was shaking slightly.
Shang Yi swiftly pulled me away, and suddenly a huge net was cast down from the sky, emitting red light, which felt very hot when it touched my body.
As the footsteps got closer, a man in red appeared in front of us. His hair was also red like An Lengxi's, but his face had a hint of hostility.
I stretched out my hand and shook it hard, and the net covering my body disappeared immediately.
An Lengxi was a little surprised, while the man next to him just frowned.
"He is An Yihuo, the Lord of Hell." Shang Yi lowered his voice and reminded me, "You'd better not anger him."
I nodded at him, signaling that he didn't need to worry, and then said calmly: "I do want to come, but to be honest, I haven't thought about leaving."
Maybe it was because I had been through so much recently that I wasn't scared, but just a little weird, because I finally remembered that his love experience seemed to be the same as that of the weird and mysterious principal. Could they be the same person? But the two looked completely different.
"I didn't expect you to follow me here. Your name is Bei Yingning, right?" An Yihuo asked seriously.
"Yes, I am here to see An Lengxi, but since he has chosen to forget me, I will not force him to remember me." I took a deep breath, but every word was trembling.
"Lengxi, you should go back and rest first!" An Yihuo glanced at An Lengxi beside him and ordered.
An Lengxi did as he was told.
Seeing him leave, An Yihuo immediately smiled sinisterly and said, "Do you think he chose to forget it? In fact, it was me who did it..."
"you?"
"Actually, I made a bet with him. If he could find someone who truly loved him and was willing to live here with him, I would give him freedom. Otherwise, he had to listen to my arrangements. But he didn't keep his promise. In desperation, I could only erase all his memories of you in his mind. It should be said that all his memories in the human world have been erased." When he said this, it seemed that he was just narrating an insignificant matter, and there was no expression on his face.
I was shaking all over, not knowing whether it was because I was angry or sad.
"Why? Aren't you his father? Isn't the happiness of your children the most important thing?" I felt very uncomfortable but still maintained a good attitude and asked.
"That's what you say in the human world. This isn't the human world. And humans are simply unreliable. They say they love you one second, and then they change their minds the next."
In a split second, I suddenly thought of something, and a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, so I slowly said: "Yes, this is not the human world, and you are not a human, how can I ask you to be like a human?" An Yihuo's face showed a trace of emotion, and he looked at me steadily. I continued to say bravely, "Perhaps the day that the human girl left, Lord An Yihuo's heart rotted with it."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand at all." An Yihuo said coldly.
At this time, Shang Yi pulled me hard and said nervously in my ear: "Don't talk nonsense, do you really not want to leave here?"
Seeing his frown and worried look, I smiled and told him not to worry, then continued firmly, "I'm not talking nonsense. You told me these in person, Mr. Principal. You can't be so forgetful, can you?"
"It seems that you are quite smart. You guessed it so quickly." A crack finally appeared on An Yihuo's calm face.
After hearing our conversation, Shang Yi and An Lengxi both looked confused.
"If I'm guessing correctly, you acted as the principal to monitor An Lengxi, right?" I stared at An Yihuo and told him my guess. "No wonder so few students can see the principal. It turns out that you have to take on two roles. The things in hell are already busy enough for you. Of course, in order to avoid being recognized by your son, you must have disguised yourself when you appeared as the principal. Am I right?"
An Yihuo didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement with what I said.
"But what I want to tell you is that I am different from that girl, and also different from you. Even if An Lengxi doesn't remember me and doesn't like me, as long as he wants me to be with him, I am willing to stay here for him." My tone was calm, but An Yihuo exuded coldness and murderous aura.
Shang Yi stepped aside and looked at us blankly.
"Since you are so great, then find a way to help An Lengxi recover his memory! If you can do it, I won't blame you for trespassing into my territory, but if you can't, I will lock you up in the eighteenth level of hell and torture you for two hundred years!" An Yihuo showed a proud and confident smile, and I knew at a glance that he left no room for me.
I guess he would have locked me up even if I didn't accept it. It was just that this inexplicable bet made it easier for him to lock me up.
"Don't ever agree to him, Yingning. The torture on the eighteenth level is not what you can imagine..." Shang Yi couldn't help but remind her.
However, at this time, An Yihuo just waved his sleeves, and Shang Yi was engulfed in flames. An Yihuo scolded him dissatisfiedly: "Who allowed you to speak?"
Shang Yi's expression seemed to be very painful, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
"That's enough, I promise!" I yelled.
He didn't seem to expect that I would agree so easily, but a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"Please don't make it difficult for Shang Yi. I seem to understand why Shang Yi wants my heart." I sneered and said to An Yihuo, "Please let him go. I will stay here."
"Whether to let him go or not is up to me." An Yihuo's temper and personality really make me furious.
"No! If you don't let him go, even if there will be a conflict, I will never back down!" I clenched my fists tightly, feeling that my emotions were about to get out of control.
"Well, if you fail, I will lock you all up in the eighteen levels of hell!"
An Yihuo gave me seven days for An Lengxi to recover his memory. During this period, I can come and go here freely, but facing An Lengxi's attitude of being a stranger only makes my heart colder.
