Chereads / THE DEATH AND CURSE / Chapter 16 - JEONGWOL HOTEL

Chapter 16 - JEONGWOL HOTEL

Hotel Jeongwol is at the top of the waiting hill. The hotel stands majestically, with hundreds of rooms available. They are allowed to live there so as not to interfere with human life and become wandering spirits. They didn't want to be reincarnated because there was something they were waiting for. The hotel is guarded by 2 angels of death and Xiang the goddess of the moon. Hotel employees are certainly not human. Yuna was the only human in the hotel. He is the chosen one chosen by the moon goddess. Yuna's job is to bring the spirits that are near the human world to the hotel. Just like Hyun Jae, Yuna is also able to see things that are not visible to the naked eye. 888 brought 444 to Jeongwol as ordered by the Heavenly King. There, the four of them were greeted by Yuna and a receptionist on duty in the hotel lobby.

"Angel of death 888? I have heard from the heavenly king about your coming here. You have also been awaited by goddess Xiang. Please follow me, ah yes only 888 and 444. You two please wait here. Gong Liu will accompany you. the both of us here. Sorry, this is goddess Xiang's order," Yuna said in a friendly manner. 222 and 442 nodded to 888 signaling that they would wait. 888 and 444 followed Yuna into the elevator that would take them to the top floor. Above them were greeted by several maids who were ready to take 444 to her room. On the top floor there is a hall with a very elegant decoration. It appears that several people are sitting enjoying food and drinks while relaxing.

"888, please say goodbye to your partner now. 444 will be taken directly to his room to rest. And, you will soon meet the goddess Xiang," said Yuna.

888 patted 444 on the shoulder, "Chin Hae, you are doing well. I hope you will be reincarnated soon and live well. If we are destined, we will meet again in the next life," said 888. 444 bowed his body.

"Thank you 888, Kim Young Joo. I hope you can finish your sentence well and get reincarnated soon. We will meet in the next life." 444 immediately walked with several maids to his room. Meanwhile, 888 followed Yuna's steps to meet the moon goddess. Yuna took 888 down the hotel hall. In his heart 888 admired the beauty of this Jeongwol hotel. So elegant and so luxurious. Arriving at the end of the hallway they turned right, it appeared within 5 meters there was a beautiful flower garden. And, in the middle of the garden there was a big tall tree. That's the moon tree, where the flowers will only bloom every full moon. And, all the leaves and flowers will fall the day after the full moon has passed.

"Goddess Xiang, the angel of death 888 has arrived," Yuna said to a woman who was standing with her back to them. The woman was tall, she wore modern clothes. A red dress that shows the perfect silhouette of her slender body. The woman turned, and smiled at 888.

"You can come back, Yuna. Let him be with me," she said. Yuna nodded and quickly left.

"Kim Young Jo, the angel of death 888 who is blessed by the heavenly king. The heavenly king seems to give you an easy but difficult punishment. It's hard but also easy. It depends on which angle you look at it. Did your lord of the heavens order to ask me for the book of 7 lives?" 888 bowed his head in respect.

"That's right, Your Majesty the goddess. Has the king of the sky told you, your goddess?" asked 888. Dewi Xiang nodded her head.

"Of course, and I made your sentence a little easier. I only gave you 100 names. You just choose which one you will fight to get the eighth life bestowed. Don't make the wrong choice, Kim Young Jo. will make the lives of other human beings suffer.

"Every human being can only have 7 lives. The 7th life is the determination of where he will go. Enter into heaven and live with the angels in heaven. Or live with the devil in hell. If you choose the right, their life after reincarnation will also be good. But, if you make the wrong choice, he will only become the children of the devil in human form. And, when he dies his spirit will become an evil spirit, the son of the devil. Even you angels of death will not be able to destroy that spirit." 888 was stunned, he didn't know that at all. Ah, apparently the king of the sky is really punishing him.

"How can I know if I didn't make the wrong choice?" 888 asked a little hesitantly. Goddess Xiang laughed crisply, she stepped towards the garden bench and sat there gracefully. 888 followed the steps of the goddess without daring to sit down. On the small table, there are 3 books. Book 1 looks so thick. 888 believes that it is the book of life. While the other 2 books are thin like ordinary books.

Goddess Xiang watched 888 from top to toe with such a sharp gaze. Although only a goddess, goddess Xiang is known to be very powerful.

"On the table in front of you, there are 3 books. The thickest of them is the book of all life. You won't be able to finish it in a day to read it. But, those two little books are records of the lives of 50 souls. 7. One book contains 30 people who are worthy of the 8th life. You only have to throw away 20 people. Meanwhile, there are only 5 who are worthy. So, you can't make the wrong choice between the two books." said Xiang. 888 took a deep breath for a moment. He really had to choose. Otherwise, everything will be messed up.

"You can sit and open the two books here. Then, you can choose which one you want to bring, sit down," said goddess Xiang. At a glance 888 saw a smile on goddess Xiang's lips. 888 knows that he is being tested again. Slowly, 888 sat down. He opened the white book first. Then open it carefully. However, when he opened it and touched the name written on the book he could suddenly see flashes of life in his head. 888 began to breathe with some relief. He began to look and read one by one the names written there. When he finished, he opened the black book. Xiang just sat quietly watching 888 who looked serious.

After a while, 888 finally picked up the black book. "I chose this one, Your Ladyship," he said firmly. Goddess Xiang chuckled.

"Apparently the king of the heavens really gave you a gift. Well, if you have made a choice. Your choice cannot be undone," said goddess Xiang. He clapped his hands twice. And the book that was on the table disappeared somewhere. There are only books that have been selected by 888.

"I'll excuse myself, then, my majesty," said 888, getting up and saluting.

"You know the way, right?" 888 nodded, and he immediately walked away. 888 stepped steadily and, immediately, returned to the hotel lobby where 222 and 442 were waiting for him. When they saw 888 both of them immediately stood up and smiled.

"Did you get the book, 888?" asked 222. 888 nodded while showing the black book in his hand. "Alright, shall we go?" he asked 442. 888 nodded, but first he approached Gong Liu.

"Thank you for accompanying them here," said 888.

Gong Liu smiled kindly. "It's my job here," he said.

"Do guests who stay here always stay long?" asked 888. This was indeed the first time he had been to the waiting hill. Gong Liu shook his head.

"Some are only for a day. There are also those who have been here for hundreds of years. However, the average is a week at most. They will be picked up and brought to the door of reincarnation by the Grim Reaper on duty. And, it looks like the Grim Reaper 444 will soon be reincarnated too." 888 took a deep breath, he was indeed a little worried about 444. But, if indeed he was going to be reincarnated soon, 888 felt relieved to leave Jeongwol.
