Chapter 11: Hades
"I don't know."
I walked out dumbfounded, and there were a lot of people, like a bazaar, walking in the crowd, I came to avoid it, and accidentally ran into the master who was making a candy man, and quickly apologized.
"Yes, you're punctual, but it's too early."
I looked back and saw that it was the kid who had given me the invitation that night, and he was looking at me and my brother with satisfaction, and led the way in front of me.
I pulled An Xiaodou behind me, and I had a lot of doubts in my heart, whether this was Shengxian Village or an illusion.
"You must be wondering why the ghosts of the whole city invited two living people."
"What? Are these ghosts? β
I took An Xiaodou's hand and tightened it, what happened to Shengxian Village?
"You wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that there were still living people in this village, would you?"
"No matter how you say that you are a child ghost, how can you say bluffing words, do I still have to believe you?"
"The years I lived were not shorter than yours, I just liked the child's body and felt the beautiful innocence."
"But you're a paper man, you know, paper people are made manually, but do you have a name?"
When he was emotional, I knew that he was not a child, and it seemed to have a form that only an old man could experience.
"The name used to be, and now you can also call me Mr. You, as for whether the paper person is not a paper person, it is just a container that carries the soul, I think, this little friend next to you can understand it better."
"An Xiaodou?"
I looked back at the soft and cute An Xiaodou, who hurriedly shook his head and pointed ahead.
"Sister, this is the place of the old locust tree."
It turned out that during the conversation, we had come to the most lively place, and it was only the abyss pit in front of me that made me contact that this was actually the Ascension Immortal Village, and all this in front of me was just an illusion.
However, the big pit in front of me was still bubbling with cold air, and I wanted to go up and take a look, but I was dragged back by the person who called Mr. You.
"When everyone is together, the play will begin, don't get in the way."
I don't know why I was in the way, there was no one in front of me, and I just saw someone under the pit, it was a sackcloth sleeve, a full-body iron chain tied to his wrist, and black gas was flying around him.
When I was pulled back, I looked behind me, and I don't know when, there were many people sitting neatly behind me, all eyes looking at me.
"You'd better sit down now."
I was called out by Mr. You, I looked at the ground, when there was a chair, and I pulled An Xiaodou to sit down, but the chair was rotten, and I realized that it was made of paper and couldn't withstand the weight of people.
Sure enough, everyone, no, all the ghosts looked at me, and I had to crouch on the ground and turn around.
I don't know when a huge stage appeared above the big pit, and there were many people on it, wearing costumes and opening their mouths to the tone of the play.
What the hell is going on, am I really watching a ghost singing?
"Anana... Anana..."
I felt someone calling me, a very weak voice, and I crouched on the ground, turned my head to look, and saw nothing.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"I hear someone calling me, can Doudou hear me?"
"I can't hear it, it's too loud."
"Ghost screaming?"
I looked at the stage suspiciously, although I didn't know how to appreciate cells, but I sang very well.
"Look! Hades is here. β
Mr. You pulled me with his paper hand, interrupted my conversation with Doudou, and pointed to the best place to look at the stage in front of me.
I looked at a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with a golden tiger tattooed on it, combing long hair and Zhong Kui's eyebrows, and I thought very strangely of the men with short hair nowadays, and turned my head to ask Mr. You.
"Ancient people?"
"Ancient?"
"You don't know, do you? It is the ancients, and men in ancient times combed their hair long. β
"He is the King of the Corpse, the emperor and son of the imperial city, and he has not entered the way of reincarnation since then, but why is it described by the ancients."
"That, it seems that people who have been dead for a long time are called ancients."
"Huh! Watch the show well, there will be a big drama later. β
"Big play, what big play?"
I continued to ask, but Mr. You waved his hand and refused to tell me, so I could only squat quietly on the ground and watch the play.
But there was still a voice in my ears.
"Anana, you'd better get me out of here quickly... Get out of here. β
This voice seemed to be enduring great pain, and told me to get out of here quickly, and I somehow, I trusted her very much, pulled An Xiaodou, and slipped away quietly while Mr. You was not paying attention.
I didn't want to leave, but to find the source of the sound, and I thought about going around to the back of the stage, but when I got to the back, I saw a myriad of black gases floating in the sky.
"A lot of souls."
An Xiaodou said beside me.
"How do you know it's a ghost?"
"I..." An Xiaodou hesitated, I looked at him and wondered why four or five-year-old children knew more than me.
"Yo... Caught two alive people, it looks tender, I don't know how it tastes. β
Just as I questioned An Xiaodou, a slightly playful man's voice sounded in my ears, and the voice was the best ghost voice I had heard in so many days, but I couldn't see any shadow.
"Who is it?"
"Tut-tut, the little girl is not well-behaved at all."
I could only hear the voice, but I couldn't see any shadow, and bluntly said that I was going to eat me and An Xiaodou, and my heart suddenly became angry.
"Is it an ugly ghost that people dare not see, or is it thrown into the oil pan and fried, the two sides are not formed, the mouth can't find the mouth, the eyes can't find the eyes, and it can only be so weak that it can't be seen in the dark, shouting a terrifying and ugly voice to frighten people."
I never thought I would be able to say so many angry words in one breath, no, it was angry words, and sure enough, I felt his fried voice.
"You, you, you... Seeing that you look so smart, I want to tease you, but who knows that your mouth is so vicious. β
"Tease me? Can an ugly monster like you tease me? "I continued to provoke, but I couldn't see him.
"I'm not ugly, I'm the most handsome man in the city."
"Then you have what it takes to show up."
"My father said he couldn't let me see any ghosts or living people, except maidservants."
Father? Could it be that there is still an emperor here, so he is the ghost prince.
"If you don't show up, I already know who you are."
"Do you know who I am? No, you look stupid. β
Am I looking silly?
"The ghost prince of Hades Imperial City, right?"
"There's no ghost, it's the prince, just say you look stupid."
"That's right, prince, haha..."
