97 Flattened

A gray, cloudy unknown dimension.

Like the deepest dreams, only the mind can reach the time and space layer.

The murky water flowed slowly, and the pale fireflies glowed on the river, reflecting the serene faces of the people at the bottom of the river, and the hair fluttering like aquatic plants.

Someone was ferrying on the muddy river.

The empty black robe, the hem of which was like ashes blown up by the wind, and a piece of white bones were exposed in the sleeve, which was its paddling hand.

The oars hit the water, dark and silent.

And the dinghy gradually drifted away.

Everything here is so quiet that, perhaps, it should be described as dead silence.

Suddenly it began to rain in the sky.

The drizzle was like silk, dripping, and suddenly broke the silent silence.

The rainwater falls into the river, but it does not dissolve with the river, but gathers little by little to form a ghost.

The shadow was vaguely humanoid, and its face was blurred, chaotic.

He stood on the water and looked with interest at the approaching dinghy.

The ferryman in the dinghy also looked at him.

"Unknown existence...... Why did you come to the land of the dead?"

"I'm here to find someone. Phantom said.

As he spoke, he raised his leg forward.

The hair under the water suddenly floated and wrapped around his ankles like aquatic weeds, a little itchy. He looked down and saw an expressionless woman's face, her eyes deflected, staring straight at him.

Phantom smiled back: "What a clingy little guy." ”

Then, continuing to lift his legs, tear off those passionate and tough hairs, step on the skull under the water, and walk forward.

The hair beneath the water suddenly became longer, like a thick black snake, dyeing the gray and turbid river water a thick ink.

They rushed over, rubbing his toes passionately and coiling up his calves, trying to wrap him in a cocoon.

"Who's ...... that"

The shadow seemed a little helpless, so he looked at the ferryman, "Don't you care about these children?"

"I only ferry, I don't save people. ”

The shadow stopped talking.

He slit his finger open, and a drop of blood broke away from his body, turning from a blur to a clear, bright red.

"Tick-tock. ”

Blood drips down the river.

As if splashed with hot oil, the inky black river suddenly tumbled and made a "zizi" sound. The face under the water was no longer calm, but showed a painful look, and the eyes were round and menacingly bulging.

It was as if something was melting them, and the features were blurred, flattened, and turned into a puddle of filthy mud.

Along with the severed hair, it was washed away by the river.

The ferryman's movements froze.

He glanced at the shadow, then suddenly turned the bow of the boat and rowed away as fast as he could.

"Hey, don't go. ”

The shadow was on tiptoe a little on the water, and instantly got into the dinghy and stood behind the ferryman, "I said, I'm here to find someone." Call your master out. ”

"You're looking for the Lord of Death?"

The ferryman lifted his hood to reveal Bai Sensen's skull, and his tone became respectful, "I don't know if you are ......"

"Are you sure you want to listen to my name?"

The Phantom tilted his head, as if he wanted to laugh.

Although his face was blurred, the ferryman still had a hint of amusement in his eyes. This made it shiver, and the skeleton frame all over its body "creaked".

“...... It was me who took the liberty of it. Please wait. ”

It bowed in awe.

The real names of some beings cannot be listened to at will. True names, like real bodies, contain terrifying powers, and perhaps just thinking about them in your heart will be eroded by that power.

It doesn't want to be a "child" at the bottom of the river.

Two black soul fires pulsed in its eyes, and it plucked one of them and sent it into the sky. The soul fire floated, submerged into the gaps between the clouds, and I didn't know where it was going.

A moment later.

The gray clouds suddenly dispersed, and a huge white bone claw fell from the sky and stepped on the ground.

And then another.

Its slender leg bones were combined, and its massive body was only revealed from the clouds when it knelt on the ground.

It was an oversized giant skeleton, with a bumpy nose bone, white teeth, and criss-crossed ribs, forming a hideous appearance.

"My lord. ”

The ferryman lowered his oars and curtsied.

The skeleton didn't look at it, but lowered its head at the ghost: "Big guy, what's the matter with me?"

"I don't like to lift my neck. You get a little smaller. Phantom said.

Crash!

The huge skeleton fell apart in an instant, rolling down into a pile of bones.

The skull fell to the ground and slowly sank into the dirt, revealing only its bare forehead bone and half of its eye sockets.

"Do you think that's okay?" it asked.

Phantom nodded, thinking that this kid was quite clever. Then he started to get down to business: "There's something I want you to help me with." You haven't lost the skin that I gave you last time, have you?"

"It's still there. ”

"That's good. I've been in some trouble lately......"

The Phantom said the matter of the arresters, "You cover this matter, don't involve me." ”

"No problem, I'll kill anyone in the know. ”

It's a trivial matter.

It's just a little puzzled, such a trivial matter, the big guy actually needs to come to himself? It's obviously something that can be done with a thought......

"I can't shoot. ”

The Shadow explained, "The will of the Heavenly Dao has been staring at the Imperial City, and it will be discovered. ”

“...... The Heavenly Dao here is very powerful, even you need to dodge?" the skeleton was even more puzzled.

"That's not it, it's just playing with it. The little guy is quite shy, and you should move more leisurely, so don't scare it away. ”

Phantom grinned, in fact, the little guy was not small, and even very stubborn.

Those souls of other worlds must have a special meaning for it. However, for the sake of a tool, or a chess piece, he dares to go out and compete with himself for food...... Have you been acting too kindly lately and giving it some delusions?

He's fierce.

"It's not early, I'll go first. ”

The shadow waved his hand as he spoke, and his body turned into rain again, flying into the sky.

It was only after he disappeared that the Lord of Death dug himself out of the ground and assembled the parts.

“......”

He stared at the shivering ferryman faintly, and suddenly raised his leg and stomped it to pieces.

- It's time for another ferryman in the land of the dead.

Huangzhou, Tianque Supervision Division.

In the noisy council room, more than a dozen principals were divided into two factions and were arguing fiercely. The content of the argument is nothing more than who the credit falls on and the distribution of the drudgery.

The person sitting on the left is sitting with narrow eyebrows and eyes like an eagle, his hands folded, his chin is supported, and his eyes are closed.

It seems too lazy to get involved in such boring arguments.

He opened his eyes coldly, stood up, and walked briskly outside.

There was an exclamation mixed with anger behind him: "Li Hai, the matter is not over yet, where are you going?"

But the man didn't look back.

It also seemed to know that he would not turn back, and the person who shouted only shouted once, and then died down.

"Don't be angry, you know, Commander Li is such a person......"

"Yes, Li Commander acts, has always been a maverick, and he does his own thing. ”

"Hmph, in my opinion, it's a perverse temper, and no one is in sight. ”

"It's useless for him anyway. Leave him alone, let's move on ......"

The talk behind it gradually died down.

Li Hai, or the master of the land of the dead, walked quickly into a hall. It is the liaison center of the Supervision Department in various parts of the five continents, and the processing of all kinds of intelligence information is carried out here.

Those arrest envoys, the arraignment before death, should also be here......
