Chapter 008: Poisoning
When An Qi heard the news of Yuan Ye's death, she was silent for a long time.
Du Xiaobai was quietly peeling apples, and the only sound in the room was the sound of fruit knives swimming on apples.
"Brother Xiaobai, how do you look, you're not very sad, isn't he your good buddy?"
"Miss Kiki, aren't you going to take me to the underworld?" Du Xiaobai asked as he handed the apple to Angel.
"yes, what's wrong?" said Angel, taking the apple.
"Since there is a underworld in this world, and the dead have to go there, then when I get to the underworld, won't I be able to see Yuan Ye again?" Du Xiaobai felt that his logic should be correct.
"So that's what you think, no wonder you don't look sad at all. However, Brother Xiaobai, what you think is too simple. Angel took a bite of the apple and shook her head.
"Why, can't you see it?" Du Xiaobai stood up suddenly.
Angel motioned for him to sit down and said, "Actually, this blames me for not telling you what the underworld is like. ”
"This ...... Isn't the underworld a place for ghosts, Hades, or something?" Du Xiaobai wondered.
Angel burst out laughing, and suddenly felt that the wound was being torn painfully, but she couldn't control her laughter, so she was extremely uncomfortable.
Du Xiaobai was so embarrassed by An Qi's laughter that he could only poke her forehead with his fingers, and said anxiously: "Hey, hey!"
Angel finally stopped laughing, she covered the wound on her abdomen, her eyes were full of happiness and pride, and said, "Hades, I can't talk about a few days and nights." It's big and beautiful, with mountain lakes, capital houses, all kinds of exotic beasts running, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing, just ......"
Angel seemed to remember something, and her eyes full of pride dimmed again.
"Just what?" Du Xiaobai asked.
"It's just that in recent years, many things have changed, and my father doesn't want me to worry, and there are many things that won't tell me......" Angel shook her head gently, didn't want to say any more, and changed the topic, "Your gold tooth, my father only said that it is very, very important, let me take you back to the underworld alive at the cost of my life." ”
"Isn't it possible to go to the underworld alive?" Du Xiaobai said strangely.
"There is a way to go while alive, and when you die, you have to go. It's all the same path, but the risks are completely different for the living and the dead. If a living person goes to the underworld, many dangers on the road have no effect on him, so they are the safest, and the dead have become spirits, and many dangers on the road are specifically aimed at the soul, so the risks are very high. Dr. Yuan died in the human world, and now he is a soul, and whether he can walk that path depends on his creation. If you can get by, you may be able to meet, but if you can't, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet. Angel said.
"This underworld is really different from what we have said...... So, how do the living people go to the underworld?" Du Xiaobai felt as if he was about to have a runny nose, and stood up and walked to the bathroom.
"There is only one way for the living to go to hell. At some point, there will be a place where the earth and the underworld will intersect, and I need to take you into the underworld in that intersecting place. Angel looked down at my own watch and continued, "The watch I have with me can show the time and place of the future. After two days, we will be able to return to Hades through a nearby crossing. ”
While digesting An Qi's words, Du Xiaobai blew his nose with paper, and when he was about to throw away the paper after blowing, he suddenly found that the snot he had just blown out was actually several colors, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He scrutinized his snot in five well-defined colors: gold, brown, blue, red, and black.
Anqi found that Du Xiaobai in the bathroom had no sound, and shouted loudly: "Hey, Brother Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"
Du Xiaobai walked out of the bathroom, gasped and said, "Qiqi...... I found out...... One...... Strange ......"
Before he finished speaking, Du Xiaobai planted straight on the ground.
An Qi watched Du Xiaobai fall down, and it took a while to react, and quickly struggled to stand up, and came to Du Xiaobai's side, only to see that a stream of liquid of several colors flowed out of his nose, mouth, and ears, and he was unconscious.
Anqi squatted down and pushed Du Xiaobai, but there was no response, she was puzzled, so she put her hand on his nose and found that Du Xiaobai had lost his breath.
Angel was taken aback, and sat down on the ground with a butt squat.
In less than ten seconds, Du Xiaobai's soul staggered from his body and stood up.
Du Xiaobai opened his eyes, looked at Anqi who was sitting on the ground with her mouth wide open, and wondered, "Miss Qiqi, what's wrong with you?"
An Qi pointed at Du Xiaobai's soul with his finger and said in surprise: "You...... You...... You ......"
"What's wrong with me?" Du Xiaobai looked at Anqi, who was pale, a little inexplicable.
"You...... Why did you die?" shouted Angel.
"I'm dead?" Du Xiaobai was wondering when he suddenly found that there was still a self lying on the ground.
Du Xiaobai was stunned, what is the situation......
And when the two of them didn't react to what was going on, a small white light the size of a palm slowly gathered in the chest cavity of Du Xiaobai's corpse on the ground, mixed with a little bit of gold in the middle of the light, and slowly flew into the sky, passed through the roof, and suddenly disappeared.
Du Xiaobai pointed to the direction where the white light disappeared and exclaimed, "That'...... What's that?"
"That's your god, it's gone to the heavenly realm. After Anqi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!"
At this time, there was a faint faint cry of very small sorrowful cry, and gradually, the cry became louder and louder from far to near, and it sounded creepy.
Du Xiaobai was still wondering what the sound was, but Anqi, who was sitting on the ground, was already facing a great enemy, and she hurriedly clicked her fiery red watch, and beads of sweat came out of her forehead.
"Miss Kiki, what's wrong with you?" Du Xiaobai asked with concern when he saw An Qi so flustered.
"Shut up!" Angel shouted angrily without looking up, continuing to concentrate on her watch.
Du Xiaobai was startled by the angry Anqi and couldn't help covering his mouth.
At this moment, a black hand slowly stretched out from the white wall of the hotel, and gradually, the whole arm stretched out, accompanied by a terrible cry.
Du Xiaobai was frightened enough by this scene, and quickly patted An Qi's shoulder, pointed to the monster that had already drilled out of the wall, and An Qi did not raise her head, she continued to click on her watch intently, and shouted: "Don't disturb me!
Du Xiaobai didn't dare to disturb An Qi anymore, and could only watch as the monster completely crawled out of the wall.
When the monster crawled out, Du Xiaobai realized that it seemed to be a person, but he was wearing a black cloak with a low brim, and he couldn't see the face under the hat at all.
The black cloak held a string of rusty black chains in one hand, and a black scimitar in the other, with a lifelike elephant carved on the hilt, and the blade exuded an icy aura, as if it had penetrated the bodies of countless people.
The black cloak slowly walked towards them, and at the critical moment, Angel's eyes lit up, and finally she got it, she quickly turned around and aimed her watch at the black cloak, and the watch instantly shot out a red flame, the flame resembled a dragon's head, and it hit the face of the black cloak.
The black cloak was taken aback, and he didn't expect the little girl who had been sitting on the ground to come out like this, and hurriedly raised his arm to block it, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his arm, and then put down his arm to see that his arm had almost been burned off, and only a layer of burnt skin was attached. The black cloak was in pain, and when he looked in the direction of the girl and the soul again, he found that the two had long since disappeared, leaving only Du Xiaobai's body lying on the ground.
The black cloak stood straight, thought for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Is this the power of the fire dragon, fortunately this is in the human world, otherwise, it would not be as simple as losing an arm...... Dragons...... What are you doing here...... Why did you insist on taking that soul away...... This needs to be reported to the patriarch......" The black cloak looked down at the arm that still had a trace of adhesion, snorted coldly, angrily cut off the arm with a scimitar, and after a wail, it disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Du Xiaobai and An Qi had already come to the suburbs.
Du Xiaobai looked around, and there were waist-length and wild grass everywhere. He was a little confused, wasn't he still in the hotel just now, how could he come to this kind of wilderness in the blink of an eye.
Anqi saw that Du Xiaobai was a little dizzy, and said, "You are a soul now, I can run far with my soul." But if you die, I can't go back to the errand, and your gold teeth are finished......"
"The gold tooth is still there...... Du Xiaobai touched the gold tooth in his mouth and said.
Angel exclaimed, "Huh, how is that possible?"
An Qi couldn't help but say that she opened Du Xiaobai's mouth and looked inside, and found that the gold tooth was indeed still there.
"Sure enough, it's a baby, soul binding!" Angel breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Golden Tooth was fine, she could still deal with it.
"Soul binding, what do you mean? Are you saying that this gold tooth will die with me?"
"Not to die with you, but it will follow you until your soul dies too. As far as I know, soulbound items must be rare. Now you don't have this gold tooth on your corpse. Angel explained.
"Oh...... To be honest, my brain is running out of information...... What the hell is this gold tooth for......"
Angel sighed softly: "This is going to ask my father." Little white brother, blame me for not protecting you. Sorry ......"
Du Xiaobai smiled and said, "Miss Qiqi, you don't have to be like this. Didn't you say don't say you're sorry? Although the death was a bit unexpected, I was mentally prepared for this, and I was going to the underworld anyway, didn't you say that the road was a little more dangerous at most, it didn't matter. ”
Angel shook her head and said, "Based on the way you looked when you died, it is likely that you were poisoned. So it's still my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to let you go out in the first place, if you stay in the hotel all the time, nothing will happen, and it is impossible to give others a chance to poison them. We were able to bring you to my father's side very safely as planned. But now...... You've become a soul, and the risk on our way is too great......"
Du Xiaobai stepped forward, patted Anqi's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Miss Qiqi, you almost lost your life to save me." It's me who chose to go out and finish the world, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if it's really poisoning, it's all my own carelessness, you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”
An Qi raised her eyes to look at Du Xiaobai, only to see that he looked relaxed, not at all like pretending to be relaxed, a person who had just lost his life came to comfort himself, An Qidai frowned, and felt even more annoyed.
"Miss Kiki, it's come to this, it's useless to think about it, we should look forward. A risky road doesn't mean it's a road that can't be crossed, right?" Du Xiaobai continued.
Angel gently touched her watch and said, "There is no way, but now I can only ask him for help." ”
"Looking for him?", Du Xiaobai asked.
"Seventh Master. Angel said with a sinking face.
