Chapter Twenty-Three: The Green Lantern Man
The farther away the streets of the north city are from the city, the darker they become, and the streets and alleys are full of cold eyes. This is the darkest place in the capital, and it is no longer the three religions and nine streams that are gathered, but even more shady forces.
The road was getting darker and darker, and he often came to these places without harm, but no matter how many times he came, he was still worried every time he walked, and his eyes were like greedy monsters, wanting to devour everyone who passed here.
"Look ahead, don't look anywhere else. Hua Wuxiao whispered to remind Lian Youyou and Yun Xi. In order not to attract too much attention, he also got a tattered cloak for the two of them to put on.
Yun Xi took two steps and came to Lian Youyou's side: "Great God, I have something to tell you." ”
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows and looked at him sideways: "Say." ”
Yun Xi looked at the flowers walking in front of him, and whispered in Lianyouyou's ear: "Actually, this is the entrance to the dungeon. ”
Lian Youyou didn't care: "Hmm, I know." ”
Yun Xi was stunned: "You, you know?" He never remembered that he had been to the dungeon.
Lian Youyou looked at him with a chuckle: "Do you think this dungeon is only available in the Qianchao?"
Yun Xi suddenly said, the great god of lotus is long lived, what is so strange about knowing the location of the dungeon?
This dungeon is no ordinary place, because it's where the spirits gather!
Whether it is a demon clan wandering in the mortal world or a spirit, they all have demonic energy, and this demonic energy is easy to attract immortal cultivators or demon hunters. So, a long, long time ago, they built a huge and penetrating dungeon deep beneath the earth! They lived there, shuttling between the human world and the dungeon, living a free life that was neither human nor demon.
If the demon clan enters the demon world, it will be difficult for them to leave the demon world freely, and how can the demon world be interesting in the world? Therefore, some demon clans prefer to live in the human world.
The dungeon protects their lives well, and the thick surface of the ground hides their demonic aura, making it impossible for demon hunters to find their existence.
This dungeon is even more connected to the world, and it has become an underground world! They call themselves the Stalkers, or: the Centroid of the Earth.
Yun Xi suddenly understood why Lian Youyou wanted to know the buyer, maybe she had already sensed that this buyer might be a demon spirit in the capital. And the demon spirits in the capital live, naturally this dungeon!
At the mouth of an alley in front of us stood two strange people holding green lanterns, which were motionless in the dark night, which was extremely strange. The two people holding the green lantern are also thin and tall, standing motionless at the mouth of the alley, like two stone statues. They were all dressed in large cloaks, which completely concealed themselves from head to toe, so that they could not see their faces at all.
Yun Xi couldn't help but pull the cloak as well, because the people in the dungeon also knew the people of their Nine Gates. Before Lian Youyou appeared, there were occasional cases in the capital, and they would also go to the dungeon to investigate. Today is to meet the buyer with Hua Wuxian, if you let the buyer know that they are coming, the buyer will definitely run away.
Yun Xi took a step forward and went to Hua Wuxian's side: "You can really save your life if you bring us." ”
Hua Wuxian became confused again, as if the other party knew this better than him.
He didn't know, Yun Xi knew very well the behavior of the sneaking clan here, since they called Hua Wuxian to steal the cup, then it was very likely that they would not let him go back alive.
The dungeon, people don't care, you don't care, God doesn't care, demons don't care, it's self-contained and self-managed. So here, cannibalism is also common, because in their eyes, human beings are just like chickens and ducks in human eyes, just food.
Hua Wuxiao took Lian Youyou and Yun Xi to the two cloaked men holding green lanterns, bowed their heads and whispered: "Come to deliver the goods, these two are my helpers." ”
The green lantern man nodded, the cloak was raised in the night wind, and Lian Youyou was already slightly frowning, the smell on their bodies was too fishy!
Of course, Hua Wuxiao couldn't smell it, and after the green lantern man let him go, he took Lian Youyou and Yun Xi into the deep and dark alley in front of him.
Street lamps began to appear on the walls on both sides of the alley, one in five steps, as if this was not an alley, but a long passage.
Hua Wuxiao has never been here, today is the first time, and the more he goes, the more uneasy he becomes, that is the sixth sense of his profession, and he has a premonition that he may not be able to get out of the way.
Instead, Lian Youyou chuckled beside him: "This buyer didn't want to attract our attention, so he invited a mortal to steal the cup, and as a result, it was self-defeating, but he attracted us." ”
Yun Xi felt that Lian Youyou's words were reasonable. Because there has always been well water between the dungeon and the nine gates, but if they come to commit crimes on it, then they will have to take care of the nine gates.
Hua Wuxiao walked in front and listened to Lian Youyou's words, feeling a little incomprehensible, why did she call him a mortal? After all, mortals don't use the name mortal when they call mortals, so Hua Wuxiao will sound strange.
Gradually, at the end of the alley, there were two more green lantern people, but behind them, there was a vermilion lacquer gate! The door was covered with strange patterns, like a folk witch cult, which made people feel weird.
Hua Wuxiao is a thief, and he is also famous in the rivers and lakes, because there is nothing he can't steal. The buyer has also seen a lot, but this is also the first time, so when I first took it, I wanted to refuse, but in the end I couldn't refuse the other party's bid.
"Did you bring anything?" asked one of the blue-lantern men hidden deep in his cloak, his voice hoarse, as if he had a mouthful of water in his mouth.
Hua Wuxiao looked at the side of Lianyouyou: "Take it out." ”
Lian Youyou casually took out the luminous cup, and the green lantern man reached out to take it, the hand was slender and long, and the skin was white, which was very strange. Hua Wuxian saw a suspicion in his heart and stopped looking.
"Wow-wow-" The unharmed crow jumped up on his shoulder, flapping its wings.
Hua Wuxiao knew that this was a warning, and he couldn't help but be on guard, not wanting to stay here longer: "What about the rest?"
The green lantern man looked at the luminous cup, looked to the side, and then turned around and pushed open the vermilion door, which emitted a burst of green fluorescence, and he was stunned.
Before Hua Wuxian could see clearly, the Zhu door had been closed, and a green lantern man stood in front of him, stretched out his strange blue and white slender fingers and began to count: "One, two, three...... Kindness...... Just right. ”
"Just what?" Hua Wuxiao began to retreat vigilantly, and suddenly, he found that the back road was also blocked by two other green lantern people!
"Eat!" the man with the green lantern suddenly lifted his cloak after saying one word, and it was actually a green-skinned face, with only one eye on the face, no nose and only two small holes like nostrils, and no hair on his head, which was smooth and covered with disgusting mucus.
"Ah————" Hua Wuxian immediately froze in place.
The man with the green lantern opened his big mouth, which was full of sharp teeth like a sea fish, and bit down on the flower's unharmed head.
