Chapter 250: The Underworld
"Where's the Scarlet Ghost King?" I asked.
"It's gone." He replied.
I walked over to him, and when I got to him, he looked down at me. I then asked, "Are you the one fighting here?" ”
"Yes." He glanced at me, his eyes wandering to the sky again.
"What are you looking at?" I asked.
"Look at the world." He replied simply.
"Can you see the world here?" I'm weird.
"You can see it, as long as you want." He replied.
I squatted down and pulled the police officer on his shoulder, and wrote a dark word on it: "You are the ghost police officer, right?" ”
He slowly lowered his head and looked at me: "How do you know?" Just that word? ”
"Intuition." I didn't reason, it was really just a very strong intuition, and since I saw the Scarlet Ghost King in Hades' room, I've always felt that the Nether Grim wasn't a jerk.
"My real name is Lan Xia." He sat down like this, sitting on his lap.
I also sat down cross-legged: "Chen Shifeng." ”
"So you're the one the Hades said you were." Lan Xia's eyes made me look very uncomfortable, full of despair and sadness.
I've never seen a man look like that, but there seems to be a bit of firmness in the two, a kind of resignation.
"It seems that my instincts are correct, you are not a traitor." I spoke, "What about the Crimson Ghost King?" ”
He pointed to his chest: "Here, I sealed him forever, and then you can kill him." ”
I was stunned, what does this mean? "You don't have to, I can kill him."
"You can't kill him." Lan Xia said resolutely, "The Hades King knows your ability to restrain him, so he will ask you to come, but even if you can defeat him, you can't kill him at all, I will die a long time ago, and this body is a prison I specially built for him." ”
My mind went blank for a moment, and after a while, all the things, the clues kept popping up in my mind, disappearing, and then merging into a piece of picture.
"Don't think about it, everything is my conspiracy, the Hades King asked me to find a way to keep the city from chaos, but I can't do it, I can only do it in this way......"
"Protect those kind ghosts, you are deliberately making trouble yourself, you have more deterrent power than the Scarlet Ghost King, you can get more support and easier when you rebel." I interrupted him and continued, "In the meantime, you can make sure those ghosts are okay, but if you let the Crimson Ghost King come, the consequences will be different. ”
"Before you knew that Hades had come out, you deliberately replaced the guards with a bunch of inconspicuous weak chickens. You know that someone will come to save them, and then it's time to act and lure the Scarlet Ghost King into the bait, right? ”
Lan Xia smiled slightly and said, "You are very smart, it is true." This kind of thing, I'm still quite comfortable doing it. ”
"I don't know what your past is, but when the situation is out of control, you have ensured the survival rate of those ghosts in this way, and you are a guy worthy of my admiration." I grabbed his hands and tried to knock the Crimson Ghost King out.
But after looking for a long time, there was no breakthrough, including his spiritual aperture, and there was no way to start from here.
"As I said, this is a very special prison." He looked at me and withdrew his hand. "The Scarlet Ghost King has always been ambitious, but there is no way to kill him, because this guy is cautious in doing things, and he is scheming, the Red Dragon Knife is the only thing that can kill him, but before the Nine Nether Soul Chain left the Nine Nether Realm, there has never been such a chance, and now, it is the last chance."
"Did Hades make you do this?" I asked.
He shook his head and told me: "No one has asked me to do this, don't get me wrong, the Hades King has even repeatedly advised me that the Scarlet Ghost King has lived for thousands of years, there is no need to worry, everything is based on his own safety." ”
When he said this, his eyes suddenly flashed red. I secretly said that this body can be a prison, but at the same time, it can also be a weapon for the Scarlet Ghost King. Since this is his approach, I didn't have much to say, and directly proposed the Red Dragon Knife.
Lan Xia glanced at it and said, "This is the Red Dragon Sword?" This is the first time I've seen it in my life, you must be quick when you start, kill with one blow, otherwise, his body will be damaged, and he will still have a chance to come out. ”
I raised my knife, hesitated slightly, and put it down.
"How?" Lan Xia asked.
"I hesitated." I didn't hide it from him.
"Why hesitate?" He asked.
"Because I see the hesitation in your eyes." I looked at him, "You just said that you are looking at the world, is there anyone in the world who is worthy of your attention?" Or rather, there's something you can't let go. ”
Lan Xia sighed and lowered his head: "Yes, I have a son, and my wife is alone with him, so I can't rest assured." ”
"But to them, you're dead." I don't know what to say, so I can only say it rationally. "What's the difference? Even if you can't let it go, you won't be able to see it now without being scattered. ”
"Actually, they didn't know I was dead." Lan Xia said such a thing that surprised me. "Do you want to hear it?"
I took back the Red Dragon Knife, and vaguely felt that there must be something hidden in it, so I said, "Say it, besides me, you don't seem to be able to find a second person to talk to." ”
"That's right." He smiled wryly and told me about him.
It turns out that the position of the Netherworld Sheriff is not something in the underworld, this is a special position arranged by the Hades King, and capable people are selected in the Yangjing to fill it, mainly responsible for some tricky cases that even ghosts like black and white impermanence can't handle. And can carry the physical body and go in and out of the underworld freely.
Lan Xia is a master of the Zhengyi Sect, an upright person, and was later favored by the Hades King and served as the first Nether Sheriff.
Since taking office, he has solved seventeen S-level cases in the underworld, and countless A-level cases, with outstanding contributions. The Scarlet Ghost King is a long-standing cancer, and the Hades finally saw that the time was ripe and told him to guard against the Scarlet Ghost King, and if possible, take him down.
As a result, Lan Xia has been fighting against the Scarlet Ghost King, but unfortunately, he has never found a chance to deal with this cunning guy.
And this time, because the Hades King was going to be treated, he had a premonition that the underworld was going to be in chaos. The Scarlet Ghost King knew that this was his chance, and Lan Xia also vaguely felt that this was his only chance to deal with the Scarlet Ghost King. Because he understands better that the Scarlet Ghost King has been lurking all the time, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
But what they didn't expect was that this chaos was related to the withered demons.
