Chapter 5 Day Four: Who Watches the Gatekeepers

author: Time is ruthless, how can life be endless? One light stroke, from life to death, from existence to death.For years, this has been my right, and at the same time my destiny.For many years, I have been like a puppet to do this monotonous, tedious, and sometimes shocking thing. Hundreds of years, thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years?I don't know how many years it has been, I can no longer feel the beating of my heart, and I can't feel the meaning of vitality, but what I face every day is the same difference between life and death, the same gloomy atmosphere, my heart is numb, maybe it is early already dead……

Opening the notebook, there is only one task today, but I am no longer happy for today's free time, on the contrary, I am distressed by the missing time of the remaining time. The cruelty of time made me unable to endure this lonely waiting, so I decided to start early.In an instant, I arrived at the destination. The small room was already empty, and I saw a person with tears in his face, distraught.An old man on the bed groaned in pain. It looked like he was in pain, but soon he would not be in pain anymore, because I am here, because I am the god of death... In order to see him better, I decided to stand on the window, the only place where no one was standing.I looked around, people's faces were either sad or happy, and I thought that hurting is sometimes just a kind of courtesy.A little girl, Ewha, was raining, looking up at the window sill with her face full of pain—the place where I was standing.

"Please, don't take grandpa away!" the little girl begged. I looked behind me, no one!Is... is she talking to me?Can she see me?impossible!This is absolutely impossible!I was surprised, but at the same time I was a little happy that someone could finally see me!After the girl said that, she began to cry on the bed, leaving me standing on the window sill full of doubts. Things went smoothly, the old man set foot on Huangquan Road at the stipulated time, my mission was over, it was time to go back, I looked back, just met the little girl's desperate eyes, that kind of eyes were as sad as An ice blade pierced my heart, it was more vivid than any eyes I have ever seen in my life, my heart couldn't help trembling suddenly!This is the first time I tried to feel the feeling of a heartbeat...

Time passed, and the imprint of the little girl slowly receded in my mind, until one day, the god of fate brought us together again... It was snowy, and the little girl fainted in the snow with thin clothes. I approached slowly, but I didn't expect it was really her. For the first time, I began to feel sorry for my life. "Please help me," the little girl said weakly, "I can't die, and I don't want to go back!" "Can you see me?" I asked the question in my heart. "I can! I know you are the god of death, I can't die, I can do anything for you, please save me!" the little girl begged.

I hesitated. "They will sell me to a brothel. I don't want to go, and I don't want to die!" the little girl shouted. "It's me soon, they are coming!" Following the little girl's gaze, the group of people who had been mourning rushed over fiercely. Don't worry too much, I took the little girl away and went to another world. "They thought that grandpa still had money, so they all came when grandpa died, but in the end they found that their efforts were in vain. They were very angry and decided to sell me." I don't know what to say, according to the regulations, the little girl is dead now, but now she is still alive, and she is still the god of death, absurd!It's ridiculous!

"Why can't you die?" I asked. "They killed Grandpa, I want to avenge him!" I remembered the mission, but this time I couldn't do it anyway. "Then you will be my assistant!" I finally said.The little girl happily agreed! Unforeseen circumstances, two days later... According to the investigation: the god of death has neglected his duties and disturbed life and death in the world. He will be pardoned and sent to the fourth hell, and will not be reborn forever! That's fine, I thought, I won't be lonely anymore... At this moment, I saw the little girl take the death token!No wonder!No wonder he saw me, no wonder she asked me to save her, it turns out she is a new generation of death candidate!I vaguely remember that tens of thousands of years ago, I also used the same method to obtain the position of the god of death. Shouldn't the god of death be sympathetic?I am speechless... my body is gradually slipping down, after tens of thousands of years of loneliness, another god of death will be dismissed and sent to hell like me...

The god of death is the gatekeeper of life and death, but there are often people who "watch"...
