Chapter 404: The Great Prison of the Underworld
"Don't underestimate dreams, dreams are the manifestation of people's subconscious, people's usual thinking is suppressed by reason, but in dreams, reason is suppressed, so usually, those greed in the heart or something, all come out." Jiahui said matter-of-factly.
"In other words, if I have an ambiguous relationship with a certain woman in my dream, it means that I usually have thoughts about this woman, but I have been suppressing myself with reason, so even I don't know that I have thoughts about her?"
"That's probably what it means." Jiahui said with a smile, he is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and black pants today, with bangs cut, and he looks younger, like a junior high school student.
"Alas...... How could this be......" I sighed helplessly.
"Okay, don't dwell on the things in the dream, anyway, even if you really have any thoughts about a woman, you just vent it through the dream, and you don't really make any mistakes." Jiahui comforted.
"By the way, what happened to those two people yesterday?" I asked.
"Are you talking about those two paper figures?"
"That's right." I say.
I think these two people are really funny, I went to someone's house to sow discord, broke up a good pair of lovers, and then dressed up as them to come and complain to us, but I didn't expect that the two of us were ghosts who managed ghosts, and they became self-defeating.
"If you're really interested in them, you can go and see them, they're in prison anyway, and they're not on trial yet." Jiahui said.
"Can I go see them?"
"Just follow me." Jiahui took out his black token, put it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to me.
I stretched out my right hand and pressed it on the token, and a cold, warm feeling reached me, and suddenly everything around me became blurred, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, and when it was extremely dark, everything around me became clear again.
The two of us are standing on a road about three meters wide, surrounded by fiery red flowers, one after another, paved together, extremely spectacular, but unfortunately there are no leaves, if I guess correctly, this should be the famous other side of the flower, I have also seen the other side of the flowers, they look similar to those in the world, but the color is more bright red, it looks more charming, like a mature and gorgeous woman, the pedestrians on the road are very rare, everyone goes forward, None of them were going backwards, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
"Where is this?" I say.
"This is Huangquan Road, you come with me." Jiahui said.
The very youthful style of clothes on his body has become a heavy ghost uniform, and the person seems to be a lot colder, ten years old, I even doubt that the Jiahui I saw in the pet store and the Jiahui I saw in the ground will be two different people?
"Look at it, if you don't follow me again, you will get lost, and you will go to Meng Po to be reincarnated, I am not responsible." Jiahui said.
I took my eyes back from the unfamiliar scenery around me and walked after him.
After walking for a long time, we found the above very high gate, which was as high as the city gate, and the sign hanging on it was antique, and it was written in traditional Chinese "Hades Prison", two people with long fangs helped us open the door, and a yin wind blew in our face, and several bats flew out of it, and I quickly covered my head so as not to collide with them.
"They don't hurt anyone." Jiahui explained lightly.
After saying that, he began to walk on, I continued to look at the surroundings as before, this place was purely made of large turquoise stones, each stone was cut very neatly, piled together, there was not the slightest gap, I wanted to reach out and touch it, but I was whitened by Jiahui, needless to say I knew what he meant, so I had to withdraw my hand and obediently follow him forward.
"Wronged, I wronged... Whoever will save me, I don't want to go to hell. β
"I'm a good person, let me out of here! When I was not dead, I prayed to God and Buddha every day, and every fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, I would go to the nearest temple to offer incense, I should have gone to the Western Elysium, how could I have fallen into such a place? Buddhas, hurry up and save me! β
"Lord Yama! You don't have long eyes, my family is all loyal and good generals for three generations, you dare to lock me up in this hellish place, and someone will punish you when the time comes. β
The more I went inside, the more I heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling, everyone said that they were wronged, they had never done anything evil in their lives, it was very dim, only a few oil lamps were lit, I vaguely saw that those people were all bitter, they were all very sad, I couldn't help but slow down.
However, Jiahui did not slow down, and did not show any pity on his face, just walked at his own pace, I looked at it a few more times, and quickly followed Jiahui again, afraid that I would be left behind by Jiahui.
A few ghosts came over in front of them, and a few ghosts came behind them, everyone was wearing the same clothes, their faces were all pale, they came and went, their expressions were in a hurry, they seemed to have important things to do, and they didn't say hello.
"Jiahui, don't you talk to each other?" I asked, walking behind him.
"You'reβ" The man in black stopped and looked at me suspiciously.
He had an oil lamp in his hand, barely enough to illuminate his face, but he wasn't Jiahui at all, just about the same height as Jiahui.
Alas? In such a short period of time, I actually lost it?
"Uh... I'm looking for my ghost friend Jiahui, do you know where he is? I said.
"We have a lot of people here, there are tens of thousands of ghosts up and down, and there are a lot of new recruits and resignations every day, how do I know which guy you are talking about?"
"Can you help me find it? I'm not familiar with this place at all, please. I said anxiously.
"You're not familiar with this place, how did you come to this place?" He asked.
"Lord Yama sent me a temporary task, asking me and Jiahui to set up an arrest point in the yang world under the guise of psychological counseling, to arrest 50 fugitive ghosts, so I rarely come here, just on an errand in the yang world." I say.
"Oh... I see, then I can help you go to the headquarters and ask later, but can you do me a favor now? I think you're pretty free right now. He said.
"What's the rush? As long as I can help, I will definitely help. I said.
"Help me torture a woman, she obviously made a mistake, but she doesn't want to admit it, it just so happens that I have other things to do now, so I can't take care of her, so I'll leave this task to you."
"I've never tortured anyone, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"It's simple, you come with me." He didn't allow me to say more, and just dragged my hand and left.
His steps were so big that I could only trot beside him, and we made several detours, and we finally stopped, and he took out a black book and stuffed it into my hand, and then pointed to the last cell and said: "That's it, this book records the deeds of her life, you can first take a look at her life's deeds, and then ask her if she pleads guilty, there is a long whip next to the cell, if she doesn't admit guilt, you can whip a few more lashes, and then ask, a few more whips and she will be honest, Remember to be fierce, so that she will be afraid of you, do you understand? If you understand, then I'll go. β
After saying that, he disappeared all at once.
"Hey! Where are you going? How will I find you later? Also, there are some things I don't understand that I haven't taught you. I shouted into the air, but there was no response.
"This person is really in a hurry, it's like rushing to reincarnate." I complained.
There were oil lamps hanging on both sides of the prison, and I took one from it at random, and looked at the book by the faint light.
"Xie Shanshan's life record", as soon as I saw this name, my pupils dilated suddenly.
Xie Shanshan?! This world is really small, I actually saw this name here again, could it be the Xie Shanshan who went on a blind date with me last time? I quickly flipped down.
The more I looked at it, the colder it became, and when I turned to the last page, I sighed and felt that the world was really unpredictable.
I remember the last time I went on a blind date with this girl, she was still a woman who looked very gentle, but I didn't expect to do such a thing in the end! It's so hard that I can't even reincarnate normally.
I suddenly thought that if I had really obeyed my parents' wishes and married her, she might not have ended up like this, but I just thought about it like this, how could I really let go of Chen Lin?
