Chapter 1367 Kyle Rayner's Journey to Hell

Chapter 13 Reina’s Journey to Hell

There are two types of judges in hell, they exist for the undead and demons respectively.

The joy and pain of the judge mainly governs the demons in hell for Satan.

The judge Minos at the entrance to the second level of hell is somewhat similar to the hell Yama in Eastern mythology, judging the sins of the dead and throwing them into the corresponding level of hell.

Kyle Rayner wants to know the sins of his father, and Harley now finds the snake-tailed Minos.

"Aaron Reiner." Minos muttered: "He is indeed in hell. He is currently in the eighth trench of the eighth layer of hell."

Harley explained to Kyle: "There are nine major layers in the Nine Hells, and the major layers may be divided into multiple smaller layers.

The deeper the hell, the heavier the sins and the greater the punishment.

There are so many extremely evil sins in the world that the nine levels of hell are not enough.

For example, the eighth level of hell has ten ditches, corresponding to the ten deadly sins.

Your father is in the Eighth Ditch, which is a very serious crime. "

"But my father is patriotic and a good man!" Kyle shouted again.

Harry sighed: "Those who encourage others to do evil will fall into the eighth trench on the eighth level, and their souls will be tortured by fire.

It is also the ‘Sea of ​​Fire’ in the legendary ‘Mountain of Swords and Sea of ​​Fire’. "

"He is a good person, and he will definitely not encourage others to do evil." Kyle shook his head repeatedly.

Harley looked at Minos.

Minos didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and a picture as big as an IMAX movie screen appeared in front of him.

"." In the picture, Aaron Reina, who is decades younger, is chattering and talking to an Arab man wearing a headscarf. The bearded man opposite him gradually changes his expression from hesitant to determined and greedy.

"Can you understand? This is Pashto." Harley said.

She asked nonsense, how could Green Lantern not understand Earth's "foreign language".

Kyle closed his eyes with a painful expression and murmured: "He is persuading the Pashtun chief to become an internal agent of the American army and betray his motherland."

"Do you still want to read it? He has done similar things no less than a hundred times. Those who persuade people to betray their country and nation are guilty of a crime second only to treason itself." Judge Minos rumbled.

The sin of treason is as serious as Judas's betrayal of Jesus, and both are in the nine hells.

Kyle shook his head slightly.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the scenes shown by the judge. Similar scenes often appeared in Hollywood movies and news reports. As his father was a CIA officer, it was normal for him to have done similar things.

"In addition to persuading people to do evil, there are also many crimes such as theft, forgery, murder, alienation, etc." Judge Minos said while selecting typical scenes and playing them for them to watch, which made Kyle close his eyes in the end.

"Well, after all, your father is not doing it for himself, he is patriotic." Harley comforted him.

"Yes, he served the country and he should not be allowed to bear these responsibilities." Kyle was shocked and looked at the judge.

Judge Minos shook his head and said: "If it was to protect the family and the country, even if your father did these things, there would be no sin.

On the contrary, if he can distinguish between public and private affairs and have good personal moral character, he can still gain great merit.

But you can also see that he is not defending his country or his people.

He is subverting other people's countries and creating war, death and sorrow. "

"But the wars he participated in were all just. They were to overthrow the brutal and corrupt dictator and bring freedom, democracy, equality and happiness to the local people." Kyle said loudly, waving his hands.

"Who said this?" asked the judge Minos.

Kyle was stunned for a moment, "Why do you need to listen to other people's opinions? I have my own judgment."

Judge Minos said: "Then why did you come to hell and are you still aggrieved by what happened to your father? He is enjoying happiness in hell. This is what I said and it is also my judgment."

Kyle shouted with unbearable excitement: "You are confusing right and wrong. He is clearly suffering. He is suffering in the sea of ​​fire, his soul is bitten by poisonous snakes, and his soul is covered with malignant sores. What you showed me, I saw with my own eyes." "

Judge Minos also wanted to shout excitedly, but after glancing at the calm-looking Harley next to him, he still suppressed the violent emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Everything he experienced in hell was what he experienced in the human world. Make retribution for everything.

You say that the local people have gained freedom and happiness, but your father's experience in hell is the local people's life on earth - a hell-like life, but it has become what you call 'happiness'.

Since you said that the local people are very 'happy', why can't I say that your father is also enjoying happiness in hell? Anyway, they all have similar experiences. "

Harry secretly gave this big hell demon a thumbs up. Although his strength was a bit weak, at least his eloquence and logic were very good.

Kyle was stunned for a moment by the rebuttal, and murmured: "The news and the government keep saying that."

Minos was very discerning, and even though Harley hid it deeply, he still saw a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

So He followed with vigor.

“Whether the local people are free and happy can only be said by themselves, and your government and media have no power to represent them.

They are the ones who suffer, and you are the ones who commit violence.

How can any perpetrator express his happiness on behalf of his victim?

Just like a rapist saying that his victim is happy, should the judge praise the rapist and ignore the victim's screams?

In the past, there were armies that went to fight in other countries. They also claimed to bring happiness and freedom to the local people, and then those soldiers went to heaven after they died.

Because the local people have indeed gained happiness and freedom, they sincerely bless the soldiers who helped them.

But all your father received from the locals was resentment and curses.

Curses and resentments cannot help him go to heaven, they can only drag him down to hell. "

Kyle was greatly shocked, his eyes were dazed, his face was blank, and his figure was shaky.

Harry couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Your father is just a screw in the state machine.

He is executing the will of the country, working diligently and hard. Even if he does not bring happiness to foreigners, he at least protects the hegemony of the United States and ensures that the American people live a happy and free life in which they dominate.

He is a well-deserved patriot and a great hero of the American people. "

Kyle's eyes lit up and he quickly repeated her words.

Judge Minos looked at Harry. She didn't wink at him. Did she allow him to refute his fallacy?

But his words were completely repeated by her

Minos hesitated.

His hesitation gave Kyle the confidence to get excited and question Him, "That's right. My father is a patriot and a hero of the United States. He does not deserve to suffer such a crime. Mr. Judge, you have judged the wrong case."

When his professionalism was questioned, Minos couldn't bear it and said angrily: "Absurd! If you people of the United States rely solely on hegemony based on sin, blood and curses to maintain a happy life.

Not only is your father guilty, but all Americans are guilty. The United States is a country of hell. "

"Kick, kick, kick!" Kyle's face turned pale, and he weakly took several steps back amidst His roar.

Harley looked at it and comforted him: "Even if the United States is guilty, the sin should be shared by all the people.

As a patriot, your father has made outstanding contributions to the American people and should be exempted from this apportioned sin. "

Kyle managed to calm down, looked at the judge helplessly, and begged: "Yes, patriots should not suffer extra pain."

"Hmph, the American people did not get any 'happiness' from your father's criminal behavior at all.

Unless they have been buying stocks in military companies.

Or they themselves are Wall Street financial giants or American capitalists.

Including your father, almost all the soldiers who responded to the call of the U.S. government were only serving a small group of people under the guise of defending the United States.

You yourself are an ordinary civilian in the United States. Has your living standard continued to improve as the United States' foreign wars continue? "Minos said coldly.

Harley glanced at Him in surprise, "You guy, you must often desert during working hours and go to the hall of sages to listen to the corner! Which wise man did you listen to these words?"

Judge Minos cried out in grievance: "Master Guardian, if I don't have enough experience and wisdom, how could I be selected as the judge of hell?

Just like you, if you don't have the power to overwhelm the Nine Hells, why would you become the guardian envoy guarding the gates of hell? "

Harley's eyes became even weirder, "That makes sense. I always thought you were a stupid guy with a cruel personality, an empty brain, and nothing good."

Minos was even more aggrieved, "In terms of body size, with the power of your bloodline, my lord, if you manifested your true form of power, I wouldn't be able to reach the top of your feet.

Moreover, body size and intelligence are not directly related.

Just like this friend of yours, he is much smaller than me, but his brain is full of paste. "

Harley glanced at Kyle, who looked dull, and wanted to nod in agreement.

Minos continued to shout: "As for cruelty, that is a huge misunderstanding of me by you and the world.

This is hell, not heaven. How can there be a good person among the undead who can come to hell to wait for judgment?

I certainly don't have a good temper when faced with villains.

If one day, God takes pity on me and lets me go to heaven to see the gate, I promise to be full of spring breeze and welcome everyone with a smile. "

——What a beautiful thought! With your ugly and terrifying appearance, anyone who uses you as a front is completely out of their minds.

Harley looked at Kyle. His face was pale from the blow, his eyes were messy, and he seemed to be about to collapse.

She could only comfort her again: "Even though the U.S. military is essentially serving the plutocrats and politicians, your father is a patriot. He is full of passion and wholeheartedly serves the country and the people. He was just deceived by the government."

After hearing this, Kyle cheered up again, looked up at the 40- to 50-meter-tall demon god, and begged: "My father's original intentions were good, he was just blinded by the government's lies."

Minos shook his head and said: "No, your father is far smarter than you. Being in the situation, he has seen through the truth a long time ago. Not only did he want to give up his current job, he even thought of exposing the truth to the media."

Kyle's eyes were as bright as stars, and his voice trembled: "I knew he was a good person, and good people should not go to hell."

Minos continued to shake his head and said: "But your father did not give up his job, nor did he reveal the truth to the media. He pretended not to know anything and continued his past criminal behavior."

"No, he is a good man, he, he" Kyle's body softened and he collapsed on the cold and bloody black iron torture platform, his expression almost desperate.

Minos did not ridicule him this time, nor did he scold him loudly. He only looked at him deeply and said: "He did it all for you, because your mother was pregnant at the time.

He holds too many secrets at the top levels of the government that no one can see, and he is personally involved in many of them.

He understands very well that even if he chooses to withdraw, let alone disclosing the truth to the media, his family's safety will be threatened.

During his career at the CIA, he had seen and done similar things many times.

So, he endured until you were born, until you started walking and talking, then he was relieved and faked his death to escape from the mission.

You know everything that happened afterwards.

He didn't take the initiative to disturb your life until you became the Green Lantern, but he was always paying attention to you.

He was happy, proud and extremely satisfied when he saw the news in the newspaper that you were wearing a green lantern mask and doing justice. "

The power returned to Kyle again, and he stood up, clenched his fists, tears in his eyes, and his lips trembled.

Harley sighed: "Mr. Aaron is not only a patriot, but also a man with conscience.

In today's America, having a conscience and knowing how to repent is already a good person.

What's more, he is a good father! "

"My father shouldn't go to hell." Kyle shouted again.

Minos looked at Harley strangely, then turned to Kyle and said: "Yes, according to the trajectory of fate, your father may go to heaven. "

"What? "Kyle cried out in disbelief.

Harry said thoughtfully: "Crime is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing how to repent and redeem."

Minos nodded and said: "After faking his death and escaping, he not only hid in the dark to observe your growth, but also kept repenting for his past crimes.

He also exposed the crimes committed by the US government to the media by anonymous mail.

Of course, those materials were taken away by US agents and were not made public.

Unfortunately, although he has been repenting, his method is a bit problematic.

He did not go to the church and confess to God devoutly.

But he stayed in the room alone, in a daze, in pain, annoyed, pulling his hair, and wiping tears.

If he had found a respected priest at the beginning, confessed his pain to the "God's human spokesperson", and participated in more public welfare social activities in his future life, he would have completed redemption long ago.

However, he has plenty of time.

He started repenting since you were born, for more than 30 years. Even if the efficiency is low, he can almost complete redemption by waiting another 10 or 20 years.

But he died, before he had a great enlightenment and his sins were eliminated. "

At this point, Minos looked at Harley again and couldn't help saying: "Master Guardian, have you not seen Aaron Reiner's file? All the content I said is recorded in the Silver City Archives. "

"Can you still go to Silver City to check the information?" Harley was surprised.

"No, I can't. I can only stay in Hell, but when I judge the dead, I will write their documents and submit them to the top. "

"Oh, some of the files I found in Silver City came from you." Harley first realized, and then wondered: "What's special about Aaron Reiner?"

"His fate has been changed, from the holy spirit of heaven to the sinful soul of hell. This is not a trivial matter, so I have highlighted his documents." Minos said seriously.

"Why did it change?" Kyle said excitedly.

Minos looked at Harley with a hesitant look.

"But you can say it. "Harley said.

Minos said: "It was you, the lord of the town, who changed his fate."

Harley frowned and scolded: "Nonsense, I didn't know Kyle's father was still alive before."

Minos shrank his neck and whispered: "The original fate was that Kyle Rayner's mother was assassinated by the Yellow Lantern Corps and her soul returned to the underworld.

His father had many children and grandchildren after enlightenment, and lived to the age of 95.

Well, he can live for another thirty years."

"This" Harley fell into deep thought. If she hadn't taken Kyle's mother to Mount Heaven, she would have died. After her death, the Yellow Lantern Corps would have achieved its goal of breaking Kyle's defenses, and naturally would not attack old Rayner again.

Old Rayner is only in his early sixties, and it is hard to say whether he can really live to complete redemption.

"I am in fate. Meeting me is Mrs. Rayner's fate. How can you say that I changed her fate? "She said lightly.

"Excuse me, you are not in destiny at all. Almost all the people affected by you have formed a new destiny line. "

Minos said incessantly: "Kyle Rayner's mother should have gone to hell, but now she lives in Heaven Mountain; Aaron Rayner should have gone to the lower heaven, but he fell into hell.

One in and one out, a balance is achieved.

Although Aaron had his reasons for leaving Kyle and his mother in his early years, he abandoned Kyle's mother after all. He owed her a lot, and now he has completed a round of karma. "

Harry's eyes turned cold, "You little judge, dare you talk nonsense about fate? "

Judge Minos lowered his head, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.

In fact, the judge has the authority to observe the fate and cause and effect of the dead, and this authority comes from God.

If he cannot sort out the cause and effect, he cannot sentence each dead soul quickly and accurately.

But he has also woken up now. It’s okay to talk about the fate of the mortal Kyle, and dare to say anything about the fate of the witch Harley. Now he is the greatest luck to be alive.

"I have merits in heaven, can you let my father go?" Kyle knelt down in front of the judge and begged bitterly.

Minos shook his head and said, "If he is alive, you can help him complete his redemption with the "Heaven Mercenary Contract", but now it’s a done deal."

"Ah~~~" Kyle broke down and cried.

Minos said strangely: "And it’s useless for you to beg me. I’m just a judge, equivalent to the prosecutor on Earth.

The president has the right to decide whether to pardon criminals. "

Kyle asked quickly: "Who is the president? "

Minos pursed his lips at Hari who was standing beside him with an indifferent expression, "The governor is the one with the most power in the bureaucracy of hell.

You didn't have to argue with me about whether your father was guilty or not.

No matter how serious his crime was, no matter whether he repented or not, as long as the Lord Guardian was willing, he could change your father's fate. "

"Harley?!" Kyle was stunned, his eyes became hot, "Can you save my father from hell?"

Harley shook her head, "Except God, no one can release the dead who have fallen into hell."

"Why must he get out of hell? Ask the Lord Guardian to go through the back door and send your father to the Hall of Sages to be a 'fake sage'. Except for some discrimination on weekdays, it is not much different from going to the lower heaven." Minos said.
