Not long after Ms. Succubus got into the car, she turned on the car speaker and tuned the radio to the music station. It happened to be Jay Chou's "All the Way North".
Ms. Succubus did not forget to comment while listening to the song. "Xia Shu is such a good seedling. If she really exists, I will accept her as my believer."
Zhang Heng did not say anything when he heard what she said. He just looked at the health club behind him that was gradually disappearing into the darkness as he drove down the mountain.
"Ugh, are you enchanted by Isis?" Miss Succubus raised her eyebrows. "Don't be fooled by her performance. Don't think that she's easy to get. She's famous for her loyalty in the myths. Although she's acting a little wild now, as far as I know, she hasn't really betrayed her husband."
"I'm not thinking about this kind of thing," Zhang Heng finally said.
"That's right. With me by your side, you have no reason to think about other women," Ms. Succubus said with a smile. Miss Succubus giggled, "Tell me the type you like, or someone you can't forget. I can help you fulfill your long-cherished wish."
Initially, she was just teasing Zhang Heng, but she did not expect Zhang Heng to really think about it.
"You can enter other people's dreams or simply create a dream for them, right?"
"Yes, there are many such stories in the legends about us," Ms. Succubus nodded. The succubus lady nodded. "But don't think too highly of me. Controlling dreams is the ability of Hypnos and his three sons. I'm only responsible for giving you a wet dream."
"That's enough," Zhang Heng said.
After he said that, it was Ms. Succubus's turn to be surprised. "You want me to give you a wet dream? Is there really someone you like but can't get?"
"No, but there is someone I don't want to see in my dream."
Ms. Succubus became even more puzzled.
Zhang Heng did not explain much. "Don't take it to heart. Just in case. I hope things don't go to that point."
"Okay." Ms. Succubus did not dwell on this issue anymore. She took off her shoes and put her bare feet on the dashboard. "Where are we going next?"
"How many gods related to the soul do you know?" Zhang Heng asked while driving.
"A god related to souls?" Miss Succubus thought for a moment. "In fact, no matter which pantheon it is, the one most closely related to the soul is the God of Death, because the soul will only leave the body after death. Whether it is the work of receiving or judging souls, it is the God of Death and his subordinates."
Miss Succubus paused and continued, "In Greek mythology, Hermes was the one who guided the souls. He would bring the souls of the dead through the darkness to the Gates of Hell guarded by Cerberus. After that, Charon would drive the boat and ferry the souls to the other side of the River Styx, which was the land of periwinkle. The three judges, Aiagos, Minos, and Rhadamantis, would judge the souls and decide whether to send them to Elysium or Tartarus, the land of pain. In addition, some people with the worst diseases would be sent to the Infernal Hell.
"The Egyptians, on the other hand, are much simpler. After death, the soul will be taken away by Anubis. Before entering the underworld, Anubis will use a scale to weigh the dead's heart, using the feather of the Goddess of Truth, Matt, as the weight. The god of wisdom, Thoth, will record the result. If the heart is lighter than the feather, the soul can enter the underworld smoothly. If not, the heart and soul will be swallowed by a monster named Ammit.
"In addition, the Etruscans believe that after death, their souls will be led into the underworld by a demon with a wolf's head, Ethark. The Lithuanians believe that Chilting will appear in the patient's room in white and strangle them to death. And the Brittanians believe that their God of Death will drive a carriage to pick up souls …"
Miss Succubus was indeed a well-informed person. She listed a lot of names in one breath, some of which even Zhang Heng had never heard of. However, they were all different versions of the God of Death in different places.
Zhang Heng waited for her to finish speaking. He then took a deep breath and asked, "So, where can I find them?"
"Why are you looking for the God of Death?" Miss Succubus was stunned. "Shouldn't most people avoid them? And usually, only they come to you, appear when you are about to die, and take away your soul."
"I have some questions about the soul that I want to consult them about."
Zhang Heng heard about him from Iciz, and she pointed out a way for him. However, Zhang Heng could not just accept everything. In fact, Zhang Heng did not trust Iciz at all. Although the two had a pleasant cooperation before, Iciz helped him heal Meinan Fan, and he killed Seth for Iciz, Zhang Heng had long noticed the connection between Iciz and Kronos.
However, Zhang Heng had long noticed the connection between Iciz and Kronos. Iciz had spilled the beans before, and she did not hide it anymore before they parted ways. So Zhang Heng was not sure if what she told him was Kronos's idea. He needed to find someone to verify it.
"What about Hermes? He is not a pure God of Death. Extraditing souls is just one of his jobs. And if I remember correctly, this guy likes to run around on earth. "
"You also said that he likes to run around. He is the wind, and he is also the messenger of the gods. No one knows where the wind blows, but his father, Zeus, should know where he is," Miss Succubus said. "Do you want me to take you to Zeus? Although you are very powerful, to be honest, I don't think the king of the gods will be willing to meet a mortal like you. "
"Unless it's a last resort, we'd better not meet Zeus," Zhang Heng said.
In addition to the fact that Zeus was difficult to meet, Zhang Heng was also worried that Zeus already knew about his identity. He had fought with Thor before, and he could feel how powerful a "popular" god was. And Zeus's reputation was no less than Thor's. If the two of them turned on each other, Zhang Heng was not sure if he could escape unscathed.
Especially if the meeting place was on Mount Olympus, he would have to guard against Zeus swarming him. The risk factor was too high. So Zhang Heng asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"I feel like I'm your Baidu Plus Gaode navigation." Miss Succubus frowned and thought for a while. "There is someone else, and this guy is the real God of Souls. But this guy is just a nobody in the original mythology. It stands to reason that after so many years, not many people still remember her. But she is lucky. With a few sub-worlds and sculptures, her popularity among the artists has never waned. And her man is also a household name."
