Ye Yingzhi simply told Chi Yan that he had just turned into a devil in a hurry, so he was able to rescue him and take him directly to West Cuilan, but there were no more details that he could not explain. carry.

Chi Yan accepted this explanation without hesitation, but was still distressed. He stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch the top of Ye Yingzhi's head, and asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Ye Yingzhi hugged him and kissed him, then smiled: "Get well soon, we leave Devil Town and everything will be fine, don't worry."

The clothes and other daily necessities in the compressed ring were all packed away by Chi Yan. He realized his predicament, and was reluctant to lose his temper at Ye Yingzhi. In the end, he only stared at the other party for a while, and asked Ye Yingzhi to put them in the ring. Change the spare set of clothes in a shaded place. After that, the two still wrapped their bodies in black cloaks and walked towards West Cui Lan together.

West Cuilan is one of the three major capitals of hell, and because it is adjacent to the snow-capped mountains in the east and the abyss of hell, the city is extremely prosperous. The Fallen of Niabs cannot leave their streets, but other ordinary Fallen who have fallen to Hell are not. Because of this, the two of them, Chi Yan, who were wrapped in black cloaks, were inconspicuous and did not attract extra attention.

Aaron once said on the first day of the three-day itinerary, and on the last day, he will go to the Death Paradise and Snow Mountain Art Museum in West Turquoise. The Art Museum is the most peaceful one, and there is basically no danger. That is to say, as long as you can come back from the death paradise alive, you will be able to return to Devil Town safely.

Ye Yingzhi counted the time. They might miss the tour group when they rush to Death Paradise now. It is better to go directly to the Snow Mountain Art Museum to meet with the tour group.

The most convenient, fast and cheap way of transportation in the eastern part of hell is the hell tunnel, which is very similar to the subway in the world. As long as you don't go out of the city, you can take the tunnel car to and from the city for free.

Ye Yingzhi asked the demon waiting for the bus on the street for the general direction, and went to the nearest underground tunnel station with Chi Yan, standing in front of the driving route map and carefully studied their route and direction.

Chi Yan stood beside him and looked at him with some doubts: "Yingzhi, can you read the words on it?"

To him, the words on it were like Russian, completely unintelligible. All the text signs in Devil Town have magic applied and will automatically be converted into their native language, but the hell text in hell does not have such magic, so he naturally cannot understand it. However, before the trip, they were each given a bottle of magic potion. After taking it for three days, they could communicate freely with the aborigines in hell without feeling strange.

Ye Yingzhi nodded and asked back, "Don't you understand?" Ye Yingzhi has never thought about this question, he can understand all the words in hell naturally, he thought it was the same as in Devil Town, but Unexpectedly, Chi Yan couldn't understand.

Chi Yan nodded truthfully.

Ah Yan didn't have to and couldn't lie to herself. Ye Yingzhi lowered his eyes slightly, and the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.

However, he still smiled at Chi Yan: "It's not very convenient, I guess it might be the effect of that golden bean." Although he knew in his heart that it couldn't be just that.

At this time, the tunnel train arrived at the station, and Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi got on the train with the demons, forgetting what they wanted to say for a while.

The tunnel car is driving fast on the underground track, and sometimes you can see the red hell karst sea and black hell volcano through the window. In the karst sea, there are hell monsters rolling and roaring. The scene is magnificent and magnificent, which is rare in the world. one sight. But the surrounding demons or aliens all looked like they were not surprised, and there were demons sitting on the subway reading the morning newspapers, Chi Yan tried not to let himself show too surprised expressions.

Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi sat in a double seat, and he whispered to Ye Yingzhi, "The welfare of hell is pretty good."

Before Ye Yingzhi could answer, a middle-aged demon standing beside them said, "This is all due to His Majesty Aimer. Are you a foreigner who came to visit West Cuilan? The news of His Majesty Merle's presence in Niabs?"

Chi Yan didn't know how to answer the question, and was afraid of revealing a flaw, so she shook her head gently.

Fortunately, the middle-aged demon didn't expect him to react, he just kept talking to himself, telling them the history of the rise of the eastern part of hell under the leadership of His Majesty Aimer, and praised West Turquoise Blue to them. What a beautiful and prosperous city, they will definitely make a worthwhile trip. After learning that they are going to the Snow Mountain Art Museum, they enthusiastically introduced the famous collections of the Snow Mountain Art Museum to them.

"The Snow Mountain Art Museum was rebuilt from a palace of His Majesty Aimer. There are many authentic works of hell art masters in it, and exhibitions of works by young artists who have emerged in recent years are also held regularly. Many human artists also stay when they are guests in hell after death. They have posted a lot of works, most of which are hell-themed, and they say that the landscape of hell provides them with more creative inspiration. Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, who are admired by humans, can all be found here. But for me In other words, the most worth seeing of the Snow Mountain Art Museum is that His Majesty Aimer once lived here for a short time, so he left many traces of His Majesty's life."

The middle-aged devil told them all the way, and he said goodbye to the two of them with no end in sight until he arrived at the station, and wished them a good time. It may be that he rarely encounters such a cooperative audience.

Snow Mountain Art Museum is a small palace built on the mountain near the West Cuilan Snow Mountain. The overall construction area is not very large, but the design is very delicate and unique. From a distance, it looks like an ice fruit dotted among the black mountains. .

There are three ways to go up the mountain. It is free to climb the mountain on foot or to hover. In addition, there is a charge item, which is mainly aimed at ordinary demons and aliens. A potion will be provided. This potion can make you in a short period of time. Grow wings and experience the feeling of a high-ranking demon flying up a mountain.

Hell coins are used in hell, and the penniless Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi naturally chose the free hover car. The suspension car is specially designed to be close to the appearance of the palace. The whole looks like a piece of ice floating in the sky. Sitting in the car is like sitting in a piece of ice and flying in the sky. Light mist. Chi Yan guessed that the inhabitants of hell should not be afraid of heights.

After going up the mountain, the two found a familiar old-fashioned carriage outside the gate of the art museum. The carriage was empty. Aaron was standing outside the car talking to another demon. When he saw the two, his eyes widened and his face was covered. Unstoppable surprise. He looked at the two of them and murmured in a low voice, especially looking at Ye Yingzhi with a strange expression on his face: "...you guys are still alive, and you can still find this place..."

However, he soon comforted himself and found a reasonable explanation - rumors said that His Majesty Aimer came to the Lost City last night and brought down the judgment of hell. Maybe these two human beings were so lucky. ran out.

"Go ahead," the amazed demon guide pointed to the side door of the art museum, "same as everyone else's rules, the travel agency has hidden seven black stars in it in advance, as long as you get the black stars and come back, you can return to Demon Town. This was originally the palace of His Majesty Aimer, one of the famous landmarks of West Turquoise Blue. No demon dares to be presumptuous here, so you only need to compete with other human beings. Let me remind you that there are only seven stars, but live There are ten human beings here, including you."

In fact, this level limits the maximum number of humans who can eventually return to Devil Town. All this has been designed as early as when the tour group set off—there are forty-nine humans who set foot on the carriage bound for hell from Devil Town. people, and it was already clear at that time that there could only be a maximum of seven people who came back this time, no matter how hard they tried to survive or how thrilling they were to escape from death, the result was already doomed—only seven people at most could. Return to Devil Town alive.

As the former palace of the ruler of hell, to show respect, the main door of the Snow Mountain Art Museum will only be opened when receiving important VIPs, and usually only the side doors will be opened. The environment in the art museum is relatively safe and the time for the two of them is limited. Because the arrival time is late, it is already at a disadvantage. In order to improve efficiency, it is decided to split up from the west and the east.

Ye Yingzhi soon noticed that a decorative statue in the corridor was somewhat inconsistent. After careful observation, he found that there was a black star hanging on the front of the statue. The star was integrated with other decorations and was not easy to detect. Although it is close to the entrance, it has not been found by others.

Ye Yingzhi took the star in his hand and decided to find another star before going to Chi Yan to meet and reconcile.

But after that, he didn't have the smooth start at the beginning, and never found the second star. He also had no intention of viewing the collections in the museum, and unknowingly, he had become farther and farther away from the main exhibition area.

At the end, Ye Yingzhi appeared in front of an upward wooden staircase. At the end of the staircase, there were two black wooden doors, which were blocked by a black ribbon, and in the middle stood a "No Entry" sign written in Hell script.

This place has no demon tourists who come to visit, the overall environment is very quiet, and there are no demon guards. Two young demon children ran up from downstairs playfully, ignoring the ribbons and bans at the entrance of the stairs, and ran up the wooden stairs chasing after them. A child tried to push the black wooden door, but did not open it. The child who came up to him also pushed the door, but the wooden door remained motionless.

Seeing that he couldn't open the door, the leading demon child ran downstairs with a smile, and his partner quickly gave up the strange door and ran away after him.

It's really annoying cubs no matter where they are. Ye Yingzhi thought to himself, but if it was Ah Yan, even when he was a child, he must be very well-behaved and likable, making people want to hold him in his arms and pamper him all the time.

Ye Yingzhi looked at the black wooden door upstairs, and there were wild and strange thoughts in his mind.

It is forbidden to enter here. The travel agency is not a child who does not understand the rules, and should not put tokens in the restricted area. But because of the slim chance, Ye Yingzhi bypassed the ban, walked up the stairs, and came to the black gate.

As if he had self-awareness and memory, his hand naturally and habitually put on the doorknob, and he gently pushed it inwards—the door opened with a "squeak" sound.

The two walls outside the room are all transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows. In front of the windows are white soft gauze curtains. The small windows on the top of the glass windows are not closed tightly. The wind blows in from the outside, and the white gauze is layered. rise.

A rectangular black wooden desk was placed by the window, and a thick layer of white paper was spread on the table. As the wind blew, many papers were blown to the ground lightly and scattered.

It can be guessed that since the owner of this room left, no one has been able to come in again.

At this moment, a piece of paper fell to Ye Yingzhi's feet. He paused, bent down and picked up the piece of paper, then froze for a moment—

On the snow-white paper, a black pen is used to outline the appearance of a person. Although it is simple, it can be seen that the artist's great efforts are poured into each stroke. The artist is very serious in depicting the appearance of the person in the painting. .

And the person in the painting is his Ah Yan.

The paper in his hand fell unconsciously to the ground, Ye Yingzhi bent down, and picked up a few nearby ones to look at—one by one, the protagonists in the paintings were all the same person, smiling, angry or happy, vivid and vivid. , that's what Ah Yan looked like in his mind.

What confused him even more was that every painting seemed to be from his handwriting, as if it were his handwriting.

Every painting here is like a confession he painted to Ah Yan.
