Chapter 2: Escape
"That's right...... Ay! Don't run! ”
Run, run like flying.
This Huangquan Road is extraordinarily long, as if it will never reach the end.
There was a fire in her chest, extreme lack of oxygen, extreme thirst, her face was numb from running, but she still didn't dare to slack off.
The chasing ghost was close at hand, and there was a pass in front of her, and it was pitch black inside the door, and the door was written in four block letters, 'Tongue Pulling Hell', and she rushed in.
It's not dark here, it's the same as Huangquan Road, red with yellow, like the sunset in the world, but unfortunately, there is no flat ground here, and her feet are in the air and she falls down.
Am I going to fall into scissors hell? Going to be torn to pieces? She couldn't help but feel sad.
"Sisters, you're new here, and you can't hold on to this." A voice of concern sounded in a mockery, and then she was wrapped around her waist with a hand, and a soft, pillar-like round thing was forcibly stuffed in her arms.
Yuan Zi opened his eyes.
"Ahh She wanted to scream, but couldn't.
She could clearly feel that the 'pillar' she was holding was not quite right, it was pink, with a thin layer of slime attached to it, and a large dent in the middle.
It's not like a pillar, it's like the tongue of some kind of creature.
When she looked up, she was almost scared to death, and a female ghost with a face like a white paper floated in the sky, her long, big, ugly tongue hanging down, and many little ghosts grabbed the tip of her tongue and swinged.
"Sisters, I've already torn off nine thousand nine hundred and eighty of her tongues, and twenty more are finished, what about you? How many more do you have? Can I help you? The voice continued to sound.
Yuan Zi followed the sound and saw that the handsome male ghost was 'swinging' a few meters away from her, his expression was quite complacent, and thousands of thoughts flashed in Yuan Zi's mind, and finally chose to ignore it.
She couldn't easily trust the ghosts of the Netherworld, what if he knew she was a 'fugitive ghost' and arrested her and handed her over to the ghosts?
She also plans to return to the sun to save her daughter!
Thinking of her daughter, she can't help but think of the man in the memoir who brought her endless pain.
The past keeps coming back to me.
When she was 15 years old, at the creative market of her high school school, she found him from the crowd, grinned and pointed to the pattern on her shoulder and said, "Is it Nalan Tong?" Yours is 'if life is only as first seen', mine is 'what is the autumn wind sad painting fan', we are a couple! ”
When she was 18 years old, she cried and knelt in front of him and said, "Shuzhi, please, let me go!" ”
At the age of 22, at the funeral of his classmates, in the room next to the mourning hall, he put a blade under her throat and forcibly occupied her.
At the age of 25, he killed her with his own hands, saying in her ear over and over again: "It's good, Zizi, we will soon be one, and we can be together forever." ”
……
That neurotic! That pervert!
Yuan Zi's head was black, and his hands were clenched.
"Hmm!"
The 'pillar' jumped violently, and Yuan Zi came back to his senses, only to suddenly remember that he was in hell, and that in his arms was the tongue of a strange female ghost......
She smiled apologetically and looked up, only to suddenly look at a ghost in front of the gate.
Damn! I almost forgot! I'm running for my life right now! It's not swinging!
She gasped and swung to the other tongue, but the little imp who had been 'swinging' did not grasp it steadily, and in desperation, he grabbed her feet and cried out, "You bad devil! This long-tongued ghost is mine! Do your own thing! Don't try to steal my progress! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will send you to see Lord Yama! ”
Lord Yama, Lord Yama!
Yuan Zi remembered the various strange novels he had read in the world, and thought about it, clenched his tongue with both hands, and stomped on the ghost's head with the other foot.
"Woo, you're bullying me! I'm going to sue you! The little imp reacted, angry, cried, and pulled her down, this wave of operations made her heart tremble, and when she came back to her soul, she found that her hands were tightly clasped.
Seeing Yuan Zi bow his head, the little ghost snorted coldly and said, "Lord Hades said, you must not tolerate all the behaviors of cutting corners and working at ease, you are finished." ”
But in an instant, the two ghosts fell to the ground, and the little ghost pulled her arm and dragged her forward.
Yuan Zi didn't say a word, his face didn't change, and he carefully looked at everything around him.
The scenery here is similar to the world, the feet are on the flat ground, everything around, except for the long-tongued ghosts suspended in the sky, the others seem solemn and lonely, just like the Western temple she saw in the world, every evening, the temple shrouded in the sunset is the same as here, boundless dead silence, boundless loneliness.
Follow the little ghost through the two doors, the further you go inside, the darker it becomes, there is no ghost on duty, and the chill spreads from the toes of Yuan Zi to the whole body little by little.
Although she is a ghost and can't die, she is also afraid that she will be beaten to pieces!
The big boss of Hades inside, if he knew that her little ghost had the idea of stealing the book of life and death, would he directly let her be wiped out, or throw her into the hungry ghost road......
Passing through one door after another, the further they went, the pressure from the main hall made the two ghosts weaker and weaker, and when they stopped in front of the majestic gate of the 'Yama Palace', the legs of the two ghosts were already as soft as noodles.
"Let's go, give you a chance, knock on that door, and take the blame." It's the first time for the little ghost to do this kind of reporting work, he has a low position, and he usually doesn't dare to approach the king of Yama, so he can only take a look outside the Yama Hall from a distance, so he is often laughed at by his ghost colleagues for being 'timid'.
He made up his mind to stand up in front of the 'new ghost colleague' today, and finally walked to the front of the main hall, but he made another mistake.
Yuan Zi trembled his hands, and kept chanting in his heart: "I'm a little minion, don't worry about me, Amitabha, Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva......" All the gods and Buddhas were silent in their hearts, and finally, she plucked up the courage and pushed the door open.
No one! No, it's not a ghost!
This Yama Hall is similar to the Ghost God Temple in film and television dramas, revealing a trace of gloom in its majesty, with two ever-bright lamps on the incense table in the hall and a large stack of books stacked on the side.
She was overjoyed, glanced at the imp outside, and closed the door decisively.
Enduring that inexplicable intention, she slowly moved towards the incense case, she turned back step by step, looking around, and was always vigilant about everything around her.
Moved to the front of the incense case, she calmed down a little, but in the next second, her courage was almost frightened.
Damn! Who is this resting on the incense table?
A phrase revolves around her mind: "There is nothing that can describe his ugliness." She was sure that his face was the work of God's least carelessness, the best weapon to frighten ghosts.
Before, she wandered in the sun as a geist, and she was often scared to cry by the appearance of other ghosts, but now, when she remembered the image of those ghosts, and then looked at the one in front of her, she secretly said in her heart: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, you are all fairies and fairies." ”
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door outside, and King Yama's eyelashes, which were as long as brooms, seemed to move, Yuan Zi immediately held her breath, she quietly lifted the top book down, squatted on the side of the incense case, squinted her eyes, and saw the words on the book cover clearly by the faint light.
……
I'm sorry, traditional Chinese, she doesn't know.
Opening the book cover, she suddenly felt an unknown force suck her into the book, and she was accepted before she could resist.
'Bang' the book shut.
