Looking into the distance, the endless river surface is shrouded in mist.
The sky above is a dark deep color, but this deep color is not the black of midnight in the real world. It is more like the monotonous ink color that has only black and white left after all the colors are absorbed.
In this monotonous black and white scene, the large patch of blood-red Lycoris radiata around him looked even more enchanting and strange, even somewhat out of place.
Tuanzi didn't wake up, so Baili Xin held him and walked carefully through the red spider lilies, moving towards the river.
As Baili Xin moved, the closely packed red spider lilies shattered with a mottled and chaotic rustling sound, vaguely like the red ocean hitting the coast, or the whimpering of a red giant beast.
"Daddy," the little Tuanzi, who was sleeping soundly, hugged Baili Xin's neck tightly in his sleep. Baili Xin heard him murmur in his sleep, "Daddy, hug Tuanzi."
Baili Xin couldn't help laughing, and wrapped the little boy in his arms with the black cloak covering the outside, patting the little boy's back as he moved, to comfort him.
I originally thought that after leaving the copy, as the connection between the game lobby and that dimension would be cut off, I would no longer have any intersection with that world.
I never expected that I would meet so many familiar faces in this dungeon.
The three mothers and their children, as well as Tuanzi, all appeared in this copy.
According to the sayings passed down from ancient times, the soul is immortal and the body is just a container for the soul. With the help of the body, the soul can move in the real world.
But this is just a myth. Later, with the gradual development of science, people became less and less convinced of the existence of the soul.
At that time, a scientist firmly believed that life has a soul. The scientist conducted a soul weighing experiment, weighing the life at the moment of death and comparing the weight difference before life and at the moment of death.
Through that almost fixed weight difference, the weight of the soul was finally derived.
Even after the scientist completed the weighing, doubts never diminished. Many people believed that the sudden decrease in grams was due to the error when muscles and bones went from tense to relaxed.
There has never been a definite answer to the vague question of whether there is a "soul" in the world.
However, in this world, there are obviously not only souls, but souls also have their own affiliations.
A thought suddenly flashed through Baili Xin's mind.
If Tuanzi and the mother and her two children from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons copy appeared in the Yin copy, is there a possibility that the characters in other copies will also appear here
As they got closer and closer to the river, this thought only appeared in Baili Xin's mind for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.
After walking for about ten minutes, Baili Xin finally left the endless sea of red spider lilies and came to the river.
From here, the dark and misty river looks even more mysterious.
The river was not empty. From where he was, he could vaguely see a few small sailboats floating on the surface. There were no people on the sailboats. They just floated there quietly, drifting aimlessly with the current.
There were several bodies swimming towards the distance in the river. They were shaking their limbs desperately, trying to swim across the river.
When I swam to the middle of the river, several skeleton arms suddenly stretched out from the silent river. There were only a few at first, but then they popped up like mushrooms after a rain.
They quickly grabbed the swimming body, and amid the ghost's terrified screams, the white bones wrapped them densely like ropes and slowly pulled them into the river.
On the surface of the water, only the gurgling bubbles were left.
Baili Xin stared at the place where the ghost was silent, but in the blink of an eye, white bones rose from the water and floated to the surface.
Judging from the shape of the bones, it was the ghost that was just dragged into the river by the bones.
s419m: This river is called the Lethe River.
It also appears in a strange myth describing Yin.
The escape system then added: In this copy setting, the Forgotten River is the watershed between Yin and Yang, and is also one of the safeguards to prevent Yin ghosts from entering Yang.
Generally speaking, the souls of the Yin can only enter the Yang through the Naihe Bridge, but in order to pass through the Naihe Bridge, they need to drink Mengpo Soup, which means reincarnation.
If a ghost wants to sneak into Yang, it will be swallowed up by the water ghost in the river like the ghost just now and become a new water ghost.
The Yin is a place that one can only enter but not leave. Only ghost messengers on official business can travel normally between the Yin and Yang worlds.
Baili Xin: What about the water ghosts in the past
While I was talking to the system, something swam towards the shore.
Baili Xin looked over and saw that the thing was swimming very fast. First there was a white bone arm, and then there was a white bone skull.
After the entire body came to the ground from the river, flesh began to grow outside the white bones at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the white bones turned into a pale flesh-skinned ghost.
Escape system: This is the water ghost from the past. After finding a scapegoat, the water ghost from the past can crawl out of the Forgotten River and reincarnate again.
However, there are too many bones in the Forgotten River, but not many scapegoats swim in every year. So once they detect a scapegoat entering the Forgotten River, almost all the bones will pour out.
But there is only one who can really come out.
Those who were lucky enough to find a scapegoat were like being reborn. Those who failed to find a scapegoat could only sink to the bottom of the Forgotten River again, waiting for the next prey to appear.
By the way, there is a special description of the Forgotten River in the introduction.
The little dumpling let out a moan, which immediately attracted the attention of the water ghosts that had just arrived on the shore.
The water ghosts were wrapped in wet water plants, their bodies were wet, and they all looked in the direction of Baili Xin.
Baili Xin frowned secretly, took out the dagger from his backpack, and looked at them vigilantly.
Fortunately, they only glanced at Baili Xin, then their eyes became dull and they moved mechanically towards the Naihe Bridge indifferently.
Baili Xin silently put away the dagger, patted the little ball on the back, and followed the water ghost from a distance. What description
Escape system: According to the records in the dungeon, the Wangchuan River has the same effect as Mengpo Soup. If you accidentally drink the water in the Wangchuan River, you will lose your memory and forget who you are. If you unfortunately become a water ghost, they will only have the instinct to survive, just like these water ghosts who just came out, turning into a walking corpse. After coming out, they will go to Naihe Bridge, follow their instincts to drink Mengpo Soup, and reincarnate.
In addition, there are strength reduction buffs and skill invalidation buffs in the Forgotten River. After entering it, your strength will be greatly reduced and you will not be able to use any functions or props.
So, Lord Baili Xin, even you must stay away from the Forgotten River, it is very dangerous.
Baili Xin had already come to Naihe Bridge with the water ghost. He nodded gently and said thank you: I understand. Thank you, sister Tong. I will pay attention to it.
Escape System: Yeah, that’s good.
Baili Xin: Do you know where Dijia went
s419m: I know that he tore the void and brought you to the sea of red spider lilies. The masks you wore before must have been created by some special power. They disappeared as soon as you entered the underworld, and you all returned to your original appearance.
Not long after you fell, two men in black appeared in front of you. They knelt in front of the Lord God and said something like "missing". From their tone, it seemed that the matter was serious. The Lord God left you here and left in a hurry.
Baili Xin held his breath and focused his gaze on the hunched figure hidden in the mist.
There was a shabby thatched hut by the river, and the man was sitting under it, with a shabby wooden table in front of him and a pot of steaming blue soup beside him.
The pale woman wrapped in a black cloak stretched out her dry hands, scooped a spoonful of soup and poured it into the empty bowl in front of her, muttering: "Your sins have been cleared and you can be reincarnated. Drink this bowl of Mengpo soup when you have made up your mind, and your past will be wiped out."
The water ghost woodenly picked up the soup, drank it all, and slowly walked towards the depths of the Naihe Bridge which was shrouded in white fog.
It had only taken a few steps when Baili Xin could no longer see the other party.
Meng Po sent away the water ghosts one after another. Baili Xin stared at the soup in her bowl and found that the soup had not decreased at all.
After sending the last person away, Meng Po slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of sinister eyes from under her cloak, and looked at Baili Xin, "Are you leaving?"
Baili Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Meng Po looked down at Baili Xin, and suddenly her pupils widened slightly, and she said excitedly: "You, you come here!"
Baili Xin hesitated for a second and walked in front of Meng Po.
Meng Po had stood up from her seat where she had sat for thousands of years. She looked around Baili Xin several times. Her only exposed eye flickered a few times, and she said "OK" three times in a trembling voice.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Baili Xin felt a little uncomfortable. He took two steps back, distanced the two of them, and said calmly, "What's good?"
Meng Po chuckled twice, her laughter was dry and hoarse, like the flat-billed duck in the river, "Of course you are good."
"You are really good-looking, and the color of your soul is also pure and beautiful."
"But you smell..." Meng Po raised her head and sniffed, "Hehehe, you actually smell like a living person, are you not dead yet?"
Baili Xin's mind suddenly tensed up, and he stared at Meng Po vigilantly. He had not forgotten that Meng Po was on the list of suspects for the crime.
He pursed his lips: "I just died."
Meng Po said in a hoarse voice: "So that's it, no wonder, no wonder."
"You must have gone to the wrong place," Meng Po pointed in a direction, "Go straight along this road and you will see the King of Hell's Palace. The judge and the King of Hell will judge your life in this world. If you are a good person, you will enter reincarnation directly. If you are an evil person, you will go to hell first to be punished, and only after the punishment is over can you reincarnate."
"But considering the color of your soul, you shouldn't go to Avici Hell."
"I believe we will meet again soon."
Meng Po reached into her bag and took out a small jade token and handed it to Baili Xin. "This is my jade token. Although I am just a small figure in the underworld, many ghost officials will give me some face. With this, other ghost officials will respect you."
Baili Xin looked at Meng Po scrutinizingly for a few seconds, and the voice of the escape system soon sounded: She was right, but Meng Po's jade token was far inferior to the King of Hell's jade token, it could be said that there was a world of difference.
She must not have known that Lord Baili Xin already had the King of Hell's Token, so she gave it to you. You can take it or not.
Besides, what she said just now about the path and punishment methods of the King of Hell are all correct.
Although I don’t know why Meng Po is so nice to you, it seems that she has no ill intentions at the moment.
Baili Xin took the jade token from Meng Po.
Ding!
Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Meng Po Jade Card. The card represents Meng Po's identity and Meng Po will come in person after using it.
Friendly reminder: This item is only available in this copy.
"Thank you," Baili Xin looked at Meng Po and asked directly, "But why are you so nice to me?"
Meng Po looked at Baili Xin with obsessed eyes: "Didn't I say that? You have a purest and clean soul. This is the kind of soul I like most. I like you very much, so I am happy to help you."
You can't find out the purpose by asking, and if the other party really has a purpose, he won't be stupid enough to tell him directly.
Baili Xin stopped worrying and left after saying goodbye to Meng Po.
The direction Meng Po pointed to was a relatively flat road. There were not many people on the road and it was surrounded by fog.
Not long after we left, the little girl woke up.
The little dumpling rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw the surrounding scene clearly, he suddenly shouted and jumped nimbly from Baili Xin's body to the ground.
"Ahhh, why am I back!"
"Hey, Daddy, why are you in the underworld? Did you die?!"
"Wow, wow, daddy, you are so young, it's so unfair!"
Baili Xin: "..."
Wait, let him think about where to start complaining.
In the end, Baili Xin only squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Shut up."
The little dumpling immediately covered his mouth with his two chubby white hands.
Baili Xin patiently explained the current situation, but did not say that the ghost-faced man was Dijia. After listening to Baili Xin's explanation, Xiaotuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that Daddy is not dead. It should be that when your new daddy took you away, there was a time and space dislocation, which caused the two of us to accidentally fall into the underworld."
"I am a ghost messenger. I can take you back to the Soul World."
"Oh no!" Little Dumpling suddenly shouted, "This is the underworld ruled by the King of Hell. We must not let him discover our existence."
"That guy is the most upright person. If he finds out that you have entered the underworld in a living body, he will definitely be furious and hurt you, punish you, and do this and that to you."
"What if, what if," the little girl's face flushed red, "What if he suddenly remembered your kindness, he might blame you for being fickle and finding me a new father. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the jealousy of a bastard is terrible."
"You better be careful, Dad."
"But don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Baili Xin: "..."
This child was never so crooked when he was in the Red Apple House. What on earth has he been through in the past year
Is that why he always makes shocking statements
This combat power is much stronger than Xia Chi's.
Baili Xin sighed helplessly, "Tuanzi, this is your territory, you are familiar with it, do you know how to get to the 18th level of hell?"
The mission he received was to find the mastermind behind the incident and kill him. Possible suspects now include Meng Po and the Saint.
In addition, the owner of the ghost market was also very suspicious. They had only met briefly before. Although they did not fight head-on, he could still feel his powerful force through his ghost-controlling skills.
The last suspicious person is the one who sold himself.
He left the Ghost Market in a hurry, so he might need to go back to the Ghost Market again, at least to take another look at the basement of the auction house.
Baili Xin opened the taskbar and saw the time displayed in the right corner. Three days had passed and today was the fourth day.
When this copy only lasted for 8 days, there was no clue about the demon baby and the boss behind it, only scattered and fragmented information.
Tuanzi thought for a moment and said, "There is a way."
"If you are a ghost messenger responsible for escorting prisoners, you can go directly to the Avici Hell, but you are not. My job is not to escort prisoners, so I can't do it either."
"In this way, there is a way. In every level of Avici Hell, there is a secret safe."
"It just so happens that I know how to find safety, and we can enter the Eighteen Levels of Hell through safety."
"Dad, I am useful!"
The little girl raised her head, and under her bloated clothes, her big, sparkling eyes stared straight at Baili Xin.
Praise me now, praise me now! Praise me like crazy!
If there is a tail behind it, it must be wagging vigorously.
Baili Xin couldn't bear to watch, "Little Dumpling is awesome."
"Tell me how to find safety. It's me who's going to the eighteenth level of hell, not us."
"It's too dangerous. You'd better not go."
The little dumpling's face, which had just said a few words, instantly fell. At the same time, Baili Xin received a private message.
Samael: I'm at the ghost market this time! Why is it so chaotic here? Did you do something? Where are you now? I'll come find you.
Blissin: …
Samael: ??? Don’t send ellipsis, I’m a little panicked, I have a bad feeling.
Blissin: …
Samael: No way, you're leaving
In the noisy and chaotic ghost market, a man in a black cloak stood in a corner. He didn't stand out at all among the crowd of people wearing cloaks around him.
His chest rose and fell violently several times, and he silently squeezed out two words from his mouth: "md."
I just don't believe that I can't catch up with you in this copy.
Samael: Where have you been
Baili Xin: I am in the underworld now, uh, the underworld with Meng Po, Naihe Bridge, Wangchuan River, and Bianhua. Is the ghost market very chaotic now
Samael: Yes, it was a mess when I arrived. I heard that the owner of the ghost market was furious and released a bunch of evil spirits. But now the evil spirit has left. What did you do? Did you dig up his ancestral grave
Baili Xin: I also want to pry open his ancestral tomb, but I don't even know who he is now. I just took away two top-quality items from his auction house that were the last tonight.
Samael: You are really a cruel person, plucking feathers from a passing goose.
Baili Xin: You’re welcome. You’re welcome. Now that you’re here.
After finishing the conversation with Samael, Bailixin took out the hidden prop box with the painted key from his backpack and took out the key he bought from the auction house.
He inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it gently. With a "click", the prop box opened.
The six-sided box slowly opened like a piece of paper, revealing the golden light hidden inside.
Baili Xin tapped the golden light with his finger, and the golden light instantly enlarged and jumped out of the box to the ground.
As the golden light gradually dimmed, a frame appeared in front of Baili Xin.
Ding!
Congratulations to the player for getting the item [any] x1!
This item is an S-level item, which takes thousands of years to sharpen. Your luck this time is simply amazing!
After using this prop, you can create a small mobile distortion space to complete the position transmission.
[Any] The item is a consumable item and can be used 10 times with no CD limit.
Friendly reminder: Although the props are good, don't be greedy. Please be careful when using [Any]. If you don't operate it properly, you will be in danger of entering the abyss of death or the black hole of time and space.
Baili Xin: Can this item allow me to enter the Eighteen Levels of Hell directly
Escape system: No, theoretically speaking, although you can jump anywhere, the place you jump to should be on the same interface.
The place you are in now, to put it simply, is the hall of the underworld. Each level of hell is a separate small space.
You can cross a maximum of 5 time and space at any time. If you cross more than that, there will be a risk of collapse and you may enter a time and space black hole.
Baili Xin: That means I can move in five levels
The escape system once again emphasized: you can only cross five floors at most, that is the limit, and it is best not to cross five floors twice.
Baili Xin: Okay, I understand, thank you.
After putting the props in his backpack, Baili Xin looked down at Tuanzi.
He wanted to go to the 18th level of hell to meet the saint, but it was not safe to bring Tuanzi with him.
This dark plane was something he had never encountered before. Even he himself could not guarantee that he would be able to escape safely, let alone bring Xiaotuanzi with him.
This prop was obviously tailor-made for this moment. He didn't have a definite answer as to who made it, but an answer vaguely appeared in his mind.
Go to the King of Hell's Palace first and throw the dumpling to his father, the King of Hell or other ghost messengers.
Tuanzi is a boy who gives away money. He chases Pluto Deiga and calls him daddy every day. Many ghost officials should know him.
Thinking of this, Baili Xin looked down at the little dumpling and said, "Let's go to the Hades' Palace first."
The little dumpling wiped the corner of his eyes and tilted his head: "Why go to Hades' Hall? We are not reincarnating. I don't want to go to Hades' Hall and see Father Hades."
Baili Xin: "But I have no money left. I can't move forward without money."
The little girl's eyes lit up instantly, "I'm the best at this, Dad, let me do it, I'll quickly go to the incense hall to get some incense for you to burn!"
I've been waiting for you to say this.
Baili Xin smiled, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
A few minutes later, after watching the little dumpling sneak into the King of Hell's Palace from behind, Baili Xin took out the King of Hell's Order.
