Chapter 2530


    When Shelly saw him reacting vigorously while searching the woman’s soul, she could not help but feel


    overwrought. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” she asked.


    Alex slowly let his hand go.


    Meanwhile, that woman was already in a muddled state after her main soul had received severe


    damage. The old iron chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge didn’t intend to let her go and soon dragged


    her under the bridge.


    Over there, the River Styx was surging.


    Her soul immediately sank into the water without even having time to bubble on it.

    Alex looked at Shelly. “The Pool of Afterlife. We can truly return to the mortal realm and reshape our


    flesh and blood vessels only if we enter the Pool of the Afterlife. And, this ce is known as the


    Underworld.”


    Shelly froze for a brief moment. “I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”


    Alex said, “There’s another important point. Each person who enters this ce will be given a hundred


    years. They have to be reborn within that time, and those who fail can only wait to perish or borrow


    stuff to stay behind or snatch away someone else’s qualification before rebirth, just like that woman


    earlier. Moreover, this ce doesn’t belong to a realm on Earth. Many stille in and consider this a


    ce for trials.”


    Shelly walked down Persephone’s Folly Bridge. Her beautiful eyes gleamed. If it weren’t for her short


    figure, she would’ve surely been devastatingly beautiful. He wondered who she must’ve been in her


    previous life.


    “I remembered something about the legend of the Underworld…”


    “Do you really know about that?” Alex approached with great interest.


    Shelly said, “I’ve only heard about it, and I can’t guarantee if it’s true.”


    Alex said, “Go ahead.”


    Shelly nodded. “Rumor has it that there used to be an intermediate station on the way to River Styx


    called the Underworld. A magistrate once enforced thews here, but heter strayed into the demonic


    path, refined the entire Underworld into a demonic realm, and separated it from River Styx to jump out


    of the three realms. However, Dairaionji Temple suppressed him in the end… The Pool of Afterlife is


    indeed in the Underworld, but rumors were that it was the ce the magistrate had demonized. So, I


    guess it won’t be easy.”


    “A hundred years. The pool of Afterlife…” Alex frowned, but he soon calmed down.


    He came here with a purpose to enter Dairaionji Temple and help his father resist the Soul nting.


    Hence, he had to enter the Pool of Afterlife within a hundred years at all costs.


    Alex exited the mind pce.


    Shirley was shouting his name.


    “What’s wrong?” Alex asked.


    “What’s going on with you? I kept shouting at you, but you didn’t even respond. I thought something


    must’ve happened.”


    Alex looked at her and said with a nod, “Something did happen. I ahnost died! Do you remember your


    previous experience? A woman ahnost possessed your soul. She disguised herself as your mother and


    asked you to offer your soul! You nearly promised her. Luckily I stopped you in time, but that b*tch


    targeted me and wanted to put me to death… I just survived a catastrophe!”


    Alex exined in a grave tone, his expressions disying a lingering fear.


    Shirley really was moved after she heard that. “Alex Rockefeller, I owe you my life. Just forget what


    happened.”


    Alex was satisfied with her tactfulness. However,ter, Shirley asked him a question. “What did you see


    in my memory?”


    Alex froze. “Do you have any impression of it?”


    Shirley shook her head. “It’s very vague as a dream world, but I knew it wasn’t. It’s a memory of my


    past, but I can never remember it for some reason. My grandpa said that was a memory from when I


    was very young. Most people would forget that sort of experience, but I always feel that it’s important to


    me.”


    Alex declined toment and just replied with an ‘oh’.


    “You saw it, right? Tell me. You saw my mother. What kind of memory is that?”


    “It’s very simple. Your mother was sleeping…”


    “And?”


    “You wet your pants.”


    “Huh..?”


    Shirley felt an impulse to smack him. “Impossible. I felt something thanks to that woman’s soul


    possession. I believe I saw blood, a lot of blood…”


    “That’s normal, isn’t it?” Your mother should endure those few days every month.”


    “Alex Rockefeller! I’ll treat you as a friend from now on! Don’t you let me down!”


    When Alex thought of that desperate and helpless little girl in hertent memory, it was still unbearable


    to him. “It was really nothing. I didn’t pay attention to it at that time either. I was busy looking for that


    humanoid demon…”
