"Only you, only you can save me now!" The Southern King suddenly turned to me, pulling at my arm with all his strength.
"I'm sorry, I can't stay here." I felt a bit scared of the Southern King, who was on the edge of madness, and took a few steps back to shake him off.
"Please, please save me." The Southern King lowered his head, still gripping me tightly.
"I..."
"Please." The Southern King's voice choked. Was he bowing down to me?
It was terrifying here, truly suffocating—the fragile Southern King, the silent Northern King beside him, and the Grim Reaper lurking in the shadows.
"Alright, I'll stay." I didn't even know how I managed to say that.
"No!" The Northern King immediately rejected me.
"Why not? She agreed, isn't it better for us to leave?!"
"You still have someone you want to find, right?" The Northern King ignored the Southern King and spoke to me.
"I..." That was indeed true.
"Okay, let's hurry and leave." The Northern King said.
"Have you made your decision?" The Grim Reaper asked, his tone showing no impatience; instead, he seemed to be watching some kind of joke, utterly relaxed.
"Let her leave."
"Alright then, you can go now, young lady."
I silently faced the Northern King's choice. Was it really right for me to leave like this?
Sigh, the Northern King was right; I still had someone to find.
"Grim Reaper, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Restore your true form?"
"Is it possible?"
"Of course, but you should know that making a deal with the Grim Reaper is not that simple."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Go to a place."
"Where?"
"I'll give you two another chance to go there with her."
The Southern King and the Northern King instantly looked up, and I was equally surprised. This Grim Reaper is truly unpredictable. Just a moment ago, he was intent on causing death, and now he suddenly offers hope.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Heh, does the Grim Reaper lie?" he retorted. Indeed, the Grim Reaper probably wouldn't stoop to lying to us.
"The Void."
"That place?" I had already been there; why go again?
"You'll know when you arrive. When it's time to leave, I'll naturally let you go. As for whether there's danger, that depends on you."
"Alright." I agreed readily; this was the best proposal for the three of us.
Clearly, they had no objections either. It seemed that soon, all three of us would be reborn...
"Go now, children."
Why do I feel—so close? Grim Reaper, who exactly are you?
...
In the midst of the chaos in my mind, I realized we had once again entered that strange place—the Void.
The Southern King has been feeling off, especially after leaving the Grim Reaper. The way he looked at me was filled with unmasked malice, as if I were his enemy. I couldn't understand how things had come to this.
"Let's go," said the Northern King.
"Do you know what we are supposed to do?" I asked, seeing his calm demeanor.
"I don't know, but since the Grim Reaper brought us here, he must have his reasons."
"Hah, his reasons? Aren't you afraid he wants to kill us all here?"
"He won't," the Northern King said firmly.
"He won't? Just a moment ago, he wanted to torture you all, didn't he?"
"Yes, but it's different now."
"What's different? Is it because I'm here that it's different?" I just wanted to argue with him and said it casually.
Who would have thought that the Northern King would smile and say, "Yes, with you here, he won't make a move against us."
I sighed; even at this moment, he was still joking with me.
