Underground, a dark world.

The two red lanterns are the only light source here, and such a faint light is really difficult to give people much security.

What is Uncle Ma pursuing?

Quickened his pace so that he was not too far behind by the old man who was walking like a fly in front of him, and the thoughts in the young man's mind were chaotic.

The darkness behind him and in front of him was oppressing him, and in such an environment, his distractions were flooding in.

He felt like he was being watched by someone with malicious intent who seemed ready to drag him into the darkness at any moment.

No, it is not necessarily a 'human' who hides in the darkness and watches him.

"Don't look around, stick to your heart, there's nothing you think about here, at least not on this stretch of the road. ”

Uncle Ma, who had been leading the way in front, seemed to open his eyes at the back of his head, his voice was very solemn, and it was full of unquestionable meaning.

"Uncle Ma, what are we looking for this time? It's all come this far, don't prevaricate me with words like 'treasure' and 'hidden treasure'!"

The young man who had been silent because of this dark environment and atmosphere finally asked the question in his heart after Uncle Ma's words.

But there wasn't much respect in his tone.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Stone of Hades'? ”

Stopping suddenly, Uncle Ma turned around, there was no expression on his face, only a strange light burning in his eyes.

"The Stone of Hades?

Just by hearing the name, you can know that it is not a good thing, the young man looked at the dark and deep tunnel behind Uncle Ma, and he suddenly felt that he should turn around and leave here immediately.

"Yes, Hades Stone. Uncle Ma sighed, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes, "Or the 'invisible stone' can also be, this is not a 'dirty thing', just an extremely rare mineral." It is usually no different from ordinary stone, but it will 'come to life' whenever it encounters some special blood. ”

"Come alive?!"

The young man thinks he is listening to a 'ghost story' and that the stone can still come to life?!

He didn't believe it, but when he thought of Uncle Ma's previous Taoist skills, he was a little skeptical.

If Uncle Ma had just revealed 'Taoism' instead of 'tricks', then even if he said something unbelievable now, young people would choose to believe it.

It's just that he can't, he has never been exposed to Taoism in his life, so he can't be recognized.

The world that young people have been exposed to is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Yes, it's 'come alive'. There was no hint of joke in Uncle Ma's tone.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the depths of the mine, what should have been the darkest corner was lit up by countless dark green lights.

Little by little, it's like a firefly on a summer night.

Countless 'fireflies' surrounded an emaciated figure, and they held him up, unable to reach the sky or the ground.

The figure stretched out its limbs, as if lying in the weightlessness of space, surrounded by stars.

He was motionless, and his face could not be discerned in the fluorescent light, but judging by his body alone, he should have been a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

When he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he should never be in such a place, and he could not be just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who could appear in this kind of place.

The 'fireflies' are not static, they are constantly moving, with the boy as the center, the points of light close to the boy are spreading outward, and the points of light far away from the boy are converging inward.

As if it was metabolism, the fluorescence that gathered around the boy was alternating, and the boy himself was also moving.

He was lifted by the fluorescents, pushed by them, and floated in the direction he pointed above his head.

No one knows what this scene means, and no one can understand the state of the teenager at this time unless they experience it firsthand.

The fluorescence converged into a river, and the boy was like a boat floating in the water.

At the end of the river is the darkness of nothingness.

If anyone could see the full panorama of this picture here, there would be only one word left in his mind.

"Styx!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Paradise.

I don't know how long it took, but the angels finally arrived at what they called the 'City of Angels'.

The towering walls seem to connect to the higher heavens, and the city is shrouded in holy light.

It's just that neither what is happening in this city nor what they are going to do at this time has nothing to do with the word 'holy'.

"Hurry up! Now should be the gap between the inner patrol troops!"

There is no reference to time in the 'Realm of Heaven', all the light is sprinkled from the higher clouds, there is no night, and time is a meaningless thing to these angels who have an almost infinite life - of course, when there is no sin.

For these angels with the word 'slave' engraved on their chests, time is not a meaningless thing.

So, they always have a way to calculate time.

Hank's 'abandoned drain' seems to be just enough for an angel to enter, presumably because the city's builders had taken into account the need for manual repairs.

"Jace, I'll go first!You grab my foot!" Hank said to the wounded man who had been unloaded, frowning, "What the hell, you haven't been able to get your hands and feet back in so long?!"

Lin Ming still had to rely on the help of two angels to 'stand' at this time—in fact, he was just maintaining his altitude at the same level as Hank.

He couldn't repair this body, I don't know if it was because he was in the 'Heavenly Realm' or because he was injured by Mo Xie's 'suicidal' forbidden technique, and at this time, Lin Ming's 'Blue Returning Speed' was like a snail.

I'm afraid this state has to go into meditation to improve.

He needed to repair his mental injuries before he could do anything to the body.

"Sorry...... I don't have much strength left, and if I spend them repairing my limbs, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a long time. ”

Lin Ming casually made up a reason, which was a message revealed to him by an angel when he was on the road.

The angel was worried that Lin Ming would fall into a deep sleep.

"Forget it, it's better to be smaller in the sewer. You follow Jace, hold him!"

Hank also understood Linming's 'difficulty', so he casually gave his last command before entering the sewer, and then he dismantled and removed the iron fence blocking the sewer mouth one by one.

It looks like this channel has been used more than once or twice.

The angels helped Hank to let go of the wind when he dismantled the fence, but as Hank said, neither the patrols at the top of the city nor outside the city were at this time.

Because it's a meal......
