Chapter 9: The Cage of Evil Thoughts

The queue was boring and long, and one after another, we were caught by the fierce ghosts with whips, and I couldn't keep talking to the fierce girl.

There is no day and night in the ghost world, you can't see the sun, moon and stars when you look up, and when you look down, there are palm-sized insects scurrying around your feet, which is both depressing and cold, and there is not even a trace of breeze.

And in the long procession leading to the Ghost Gate, the sound of whipping and soul wails also made people feel an indescribable discomfort and depression.

Of course, in the midst of such oppression, there are occasionally a few frightened and overwhelmed souls who want to escape from here, but they usually run a few steps, and all of them are caught by those ghosts in old Qing military uniforms and whips in their hands, and then thrown into the oil pot with billowing smoke on the side.

I think if there's anything more terrible to these souls than finding out they're dead, it's that they're going to hell as soon as they find out they're dead.

Although the fierce girl didn't tell me too much about the so-called disorder of the underworld, judging from the faces of these ghosts who whipped their souls for no reason, I believe that they are by no means the legendary ghosts.

So where do these ghosts come from? Who are they working for? I don't know exactly what happened here, but I do know that it must be a terrible catastrophe.

And the reason why I agreed to send the murderous girl into the capital city was of course not just because I ate her two white potatoes, but because I knew in my heart that even if I didn't believe in ghosts in the past, but everything in yin and yang has its own order, and now that the ghost world has been out of order, then as a soul, I actually have no other choice.

After all, no one wants to erase their existence from this world and become food for others.

I don't know how long I've been in this line with the girl, I can't feel the passage of time here, and I can't see any basis for measuring time, the only thing that can give me a little sense of time is the one hundred and twenty-eight oil pots I passed by.

When I looked at the oil pot from a distance, I didn't think it, but when I looked closely, I found that it was quite large, big enough to hold about a hundred people.

The oil pots were scattered next to the long line of dead souls, and there were about a hundred souls between each pot, and in front of me and the fierce girl, at least there were five or six hundred more oil pots that I could see.

I couldn't figure out why there were so many big oil pots on the way to the Ghost Gate, and I couldn't help but push the fierce girl who was standing in line behind her with no expression: "Is this thing always here, or is it only later?" ”

The fierce girl's eyes turned around on those oil pots, and she was not surprised, and replied very lazily: "These oil pots are all moved up from the ninth layer of hell, and they didn't have them before." ”

"The ninth level of hell?" I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "It turns out that in this world, there really is a hell?" ”

The corners of the fierce girl's mouth moved slightly, and she smiled coldly: "Those who did evil in life are also evil ghosts after they die, and if they don't suffer some sin in hell to remove their anger, when they are reincarnated as humans in the future, they will be led into the abyss by their own demons." ”

"Demons? Do you mean that you can't help but do evil? I couldn't help but sigh: "Can this thing still be inherited?" ”

The fierce girl looked at me, her eyes were a little meaningless: "As long as it is a human being, there will be desires, and those who are governed by desires will have demons, and there is a cage in the depths of everyone's soul, and the cage is locked up with evil thoughts formed by desires, and when the evil thoughts become bigger and bigger, they will turn into beasts and break through the cage, dominate the master of the soul, and then replace him." ”

The words of the fierce girl made me not come back to my senses for a long time, I only vaguely felt that the fierce girl was not an ordinary ghost, everyone was a ghost, even if the fierce girl was an old ghost who had been dead for a longer time than me, but she knew too much.

I leaned over to her, "How long have you been dead?" ”

The fierce girl glared at me, and her eyes pointed to the whip ghost who was just a few steps away from us: "If you ask so many questions again, I'm afraid you can be thrown in for yourself to feel for yourself." ”

I leaned my head closer to her and said with a smile: "If I am thrown in, I will definitely drag you, let's take a mandarin duck bath in the oil pot together, I think it is quite good." ”

"The old lady is to see that you have nowhere to go, so she kindly took you, if you dare to make trouble for me, don't bother those ghosts, I will throw you into the oil pot with my own hands, do you believe it or not?" The girl became angry and began to threaten me.

"I don't believe it." I replied to her categorically: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, if I am really like you said, it is useless to you at all, how can you have such a good heart?" ”

The fierce girl glared at me, but found that she couldn't find the words to refute me for a while, so she had to turn her face away, looking unwilling to deal with me anymore.

I felt bored, yawned lazily, and although tired, my mind was active.

I suddenly realized that since I knew that I had died, I had never felt sleepy, only a long feeling of hunger and exhaustion, and this tiredness was somewhat similar to the feeling of insomnia at night, that is, I felt uncomfortable, I wanted to sleep, but I was not sleepy, I couldn't sleep anyway, and finally I had to get more and more uncomfortable.

After waiting in line for an unknown amount of time, I suddenly realized that if I continue to follow the queue like this, I don't know when it will be able to reach us, obviously this is not a way, since it is destined to enter the capital city, it is better to enter late than early.

With that in mind, I looked up at the shivering back of the buddy in front of me, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

The guy was 1.8 meters tall, and when he turned his head to look at me, he had a look of timidity and despair that did not match his body at all.

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I saw him like this, and I felt that at this time, even a sneeze could scare him into jumping half a meter high, so after organizing the language, I tried to make myself look amiable: "What, this big brother, what about the two of us, because we are in a hurry, or you let us go ahead of you first?" ”

As soon as I said this, I didn't expect the man to hurriedly retreat behind me and the fierce girl, and his thick voice stammered with a little pleasure: "No-it's okay-you go first, you go first." ”

I was happy to see his reaction, and when I thought about it carefully, since this place has now become the territory of evil spirits, and they are not in a hurry to reincarnate, these people are not voluntarily lining up here, and these souls are afraid that someone will come to join their queue.

So, while carefully avoiding the attention of the whip ghost, the fierce girl and I stepped forward, and the spirits were glad to cooperate with us when they saw that someone wanted to stand in front of them.

When I saw the last oil pot in front of me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and complained to the fierce girl: "It's finally almost us, but it's really slow, how many people have died recently?" Why is there such a long queue? ”

I turned around this time, only to find that the fierce girl had a yellow soft paper in her hand at some point, and the fierce girl saw that I was looking at the paper, so she picked up the yellow paper and shook it at me: "There are many reasons, I won't tell you in detail, but the main reason is that I have to check the road guide, so it is slower, so I have so many ghosts." ”

I reached out and took the yellow paper from the murderous girl's hand, and wondered: "Lu Yin? What is it? ”

The fierce girl looked at me with a dull gaze and exclaimed, "Don't you have a way?" ”

I also exclaimed, "I didn't!" ”
