26 Beyond the Gate of the Devil
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Was it deaf before you died? Bai Wuchang leaned his face over and began to examine my body; When he pressed it on my forehead, he said to himself, "Oh! Was the auditory nerve obstructed because of an attack on the head during life? ”
"Am I dead?"
Bai Wuchang asked me like this, as if he suddenly became interested, looked at me with interesting eyes and smiled, "Huh? I didn't expect you to know how to read lips, and you're quite talented. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Am I dead?" I asked again.
When she heard me ask, she pointed around and said, "Otherwise, do you think this yin cao will come when he wants?" After speaking, she pointed to my head, and there was a plaque on my head, which read: "Ghost Gate". I was shocked and sat down on the stone stairs, but Bai Wuchang comforted me with his hand: "However, it is estimated that you are not dead yet, after all, you have not stepped into the ghost gate." ”
I was almost scared to death by her, and my mood adjusted again, and I said excitedly: "Then I can still be saved?" ”
Unexpectedly, hearing me say this, Bai Wuchang's face changed again, and said: "You seem to have misunderstood something, I just said that you are not dead, and I didn't say that you are still saved." ”
Inconsistency, I didn't understand what she meant, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"What do you mean? It's literal. There are many reasons for this, such as some people's lives are not over, their bodies are not dead, but their souls are free. Isn't this kind of death, non-death, and non-living quite common in your world now? ”
Although it was vague, I understood what she was saying at once; Probably like a vegetative person, or a helpless person who is forced to rely on a machine to continue his life, this kind of person is indeed as Bai Wuchang said, whether to die or not to live.
"Huh? What's the matter, is it that I speak so fast that you can't read it? Bai Wuchang looked at me suspiciously.
"Please, are you going to misunderstand when, I'm not deaf; If you're just trying to tease me, I'm sorry I don't feel that way right now. ”
"Oh! It's good if you're not deaf. Bai Wuchang walked to my side, and when he passed by me, he patted me on the shoulder and added: "Although I have been dead for a long time, after all, I see you every day, and I can more or less understand that feeling, so you can calm down here." With that, she passed through the ghost gate and continued to walk inside.
Said a very perfunctory comforting word, and then just said that he would leave? This reaction is too cold! I thought she would see that we met and would be able to help me!
"Wait!" So far, I can only put down my body and beg others first.
She stopped, looked at me and said, "No! ”
"I haven't said anything yet!"
"If you want to say this, I haven't been fooling around for so many years; The ghost gate is right in front of you, and if you want to step into reincarnation, you will naturally walk in first; So you just want me to help you, so that you can return to the yang and return to the world. ”
I guessed right, but sure enough, I'm still too tender? But it doesn't bother me, I'm a determined person! No, now I'm a ghost... Belch...... No matter what, I'm human.
"Sister Xie! You can help me~" Hmph, this kind of woman who has worked for hundreds or thousands of years has not taken a day off, and she must be under great pressure at work, constantly piling up, and she can't find an outlet; As long as I sell a cute, take the amorous route, and attack this thousand-year-old royal sister, it's not a problem at all!
Without even thinking about it, she replied, "I still refuse!" ”
What the! Could it be that she is taking the route of a strong woman? But I've heard that a strong woman is strong on the outside, but she is actually fragile on the inside, maybe she wants to find someone to rely on in her heart, rather than a bewitching slut who only sells cuteness!
My tone immediately turned to attack, put on a cool expression, and sneered: "Hmph, I really can't help you, I will forgive you for what I said just now, from now on, you will obediently listen to me." ”
"I continue to refuse!"
What? This woman is too out of the box, right? I've already taken the route of a domineering president! Could it be that I didn't act well enough? Or am I still going in a crooked direction?
After that, I played all kinds of roles, including sunny, cold, self-cooked, warm, etc., but all of them were rejected by Bai Wuchang.
Until I asked, "Why do you reject me every time you don't want to think about it?" ”
"Because of the trouble, the trouble will be very tiring, so I refuse."
Nani! This prefectural civil servant is too irresponsible! But there is no way, who let me ask for help, I can only bow immediately and say: "I'll burn billions for you when I go back, no!" Hundreds of billions! ”
"No! And let me remind you that once the crime of bribing officials, maliciously manipulating the exchange rate, and violating the order of life and death is detained, it will be at least 3,000 years per layer according to the law, that is, at least 54,000 years in prison; Seeing that you didn't understand the rules for the first time, I pretended not to have heard it. ”
"But ......"
"No but!" Bai Wuchang grabbed the words and said: "Do you want to say that you died because of merit and pray for extrajudicial mercy; Let me tell you, everything is destiny, and what you see is fate! Just like the two gods you subdued during your lifetime, if you want to count, you can only say that they didn't touch our fate, otherwise they would be arrested and held accountable by us. ”
"But I'm not necessarily saved!" I argued.
"As I have already said, it all depends on the destiny of heaven, if the destiny allows you to live, you don't need my help at all, you can naturally live; But if destiny dooms you to death, even if I help you borrow your corpse to resurrect your soul, you will not be able to return to the world, and you may end up in an even worse end. ”
Having said that, there is obviously no room for negotiation; I'm not an ignorant person, so I straightened up and could only thank, "Okay then, thank you." ”
She nodded to me and said, "Destiny is hard to see, but we can only relax and accept it. But you don't need to be lost, destiny is all illusory to us, and I can't figure out if it will let me help you in the next second. ”
I thanked her again, and she gestured to me before continuing inside.
If this is in the game, this kind of plot is just a branch of the main quest, and the best reward is to improve the ability, and the worst is at most to owe a favor or something, and it will be triggered to be killed in the later stages of the plot, and then entrust me: "My daughter will be handed over to you" or "My wife will be handed over to you" and other development plots.
I didn't expect the reality to be so cruel that I didn't even help me.
There is no way, since this is the ghost gate, the destination that leads to is naturally the underworld; I just need to follow the road and walk in the opposite direction, and I should be able to return to the world and find my body, right?
I walked in the opposite direction, and the grass and forests became denser and denser, and when I came to the end, there was no stone road at all, and I fell into the middle of the wilderness.
It doesn't feel good here, it's not because of my spiritual power, but because it intuitively makes me very uncomfortable; It's like meeting someone who doesn't do anything to you, but you're just not happy with them, that's pretty much how it feels.
I continued to walk inside, but the more strange I went, and I began to notice ghosts; And the deeper you go, the more ghosts there are. I don't know if that's a good thing, but maybe it's just the surface I'm getting closer to the ground, right?
"You're new, boy, aren't you?" Suddenly there was a sound behind me.
I turned around, and three or five ghosts stood behind me, a scene I was all too familiar with, wasn't it exactly the same as the "traffic light" combination I encountered some time ago? It's just that there will be more of them.
I thought to myself that this ghost also likes to block the road, but I don't have any valuable treasures on me; So I said to them, "Brothers, you can also see that I am a newcomer, so I have nothing on me, and I am still in a hurry, so please let me go." ”
The ghost boss at the head snorted and said disdainfully, "You're in a hurry, aren't you?" Nothing, right? Give it to me! ”
The rest of the ghosts gave an order and immediately enveloped me; I shouted that there was really nothing or something, but it didn't work. In the blink of an eye, they stripped me of my clothes.
I never thought that I would even snatch my clothes, wouldn't this be too miserable.
"Big brother, this dress is not a big brand, it is not worth a few dollars." I said. After all, if I return to the world and let Ishihara and Yoga watch my bare ass and possess my body, I still don't believe it if I don't beat me to the ground.
"Money? Where do you think this is? The leader smiled again, this voice made my heart itch, it was a typical bad horn laughter!
I sighed, and it didn't work to use a softer way, so I changed to a tougher tone and said, "I advise you to return your clothes to me quickly, or I'll have to do it." ”
"I heard you're going to do it, right?" The first punch hit me in the abdomen, the momentum was powerful, it was a good punch, otherwise how could it have softened me in an instant.
The rest of the others also followed, punching and kicking me, and I shouted again and again: "Big brother, there is something to discuss, big brother!" "Who knows that the more I shout, the harder they fight; It wasn't until I was about to be beaten by them that my soul was gone, and the leader made the little one stop.
Seeing that they were leaving, I shouted again and again, "Big brother, let's discuss it again." ”
"Discuss? What do you think can be discussed? ”
"I have two psychic friends, and I need to go back to them now to help me return my yang; But neither of them had a good temper, and if they saw me naked, they would have to kill me; Why don't you return the clothes to me, and I'll go back and burn the money for you? ”
"Money?" I don't know what it means, but the big ghost at the head said, "Among the shadows, paper money is the most useless thing!" Actually, the most useless thing to resist, are you not on the way, or do you think we are not on the road? ”
Listening to his tone is not like fooling me; I thought in my heart that this annual festival, burning so much paper money, is it useless? Wasn't that deceived by those who sold it?
But looking back, what Bai Wuchang said to me just now: "Bribing officials, maliciously manipulating exchange rates, and violating the order of life and death." "These three charges have made it clear that paper money still has a role, is it possible......
I immediately changed my tone and said, "Big brother, isn't this underworld one and the same?" ”
"Do you still ask me such stupid questions? Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the uncle's eyes! As soon as he finished speaking, the leader led the little minions and left.
I got up from the ground and felt cold with my bare ass. I thought to myself, this place is completely different from what I understood, it is much more complicated than I thought.
