Late at night, I changed into sportswear, wore a mask, and went to my dad's room.

After watching the candles go out and the snoring sound coming from inside, and making sure that he was asleep, I cautiously opened the door, and the flashlight shone into the room, and I saw him lying on the bed.

Dad, for the first time since birth, I came into contact with a normal you, and today disappointed you.

I came to the head of the bed, knelt down, took his hand without a trace of warmth, put it on my face, looked at his side face, and told myself in my heart that I must find out the truth, let my father be reincarnated as soon as possible, and don't be in this small world.

After plucking up my courage, I gently closed the door and led the big black dog out of the house.

"Old Black, I don't want to stay here, you should be familiar here, take me out of here, you know?"

I held my childhood ball and shook it in front of it, and it happily lay on the ground and flipped its belly at me.

The dog turns its belly over its owner, which means that it trusts me and that it can really understand me.

He picked up the little leather ball, and I followed Lao Hei, walked a few streets, bypassed a few brick houses, and Lao Hei took me to an ancient well in the village.

This ancient well is said to be hundreds of years old, and my grandfather would come here to fetch water with a flat pole when he was a child, because the water of this well is pure and natural, and the entrance is sweet and clear.

But in the year of my grandfather's wedding, it snowed heavily, and the ancient well seemed to be drained overnight, and it was sealed when there was no water, and when the wind blew in the middle of the night, there was a whining sound, as if there were ghosts under the ancient well, and no one dared to approach it again.

Lao Hei walked to the ancient well, licked the mouth of the well, and sat on the ground wagging his tail.

"Old Black, you let me jump?"

Lao Hei licked his nose, picked up the small leather ball, stood up and spit the ball into the well.

When something reaches the ground, it makes a sound, but when the ball hits the ground, there is no sound at all, as if there is a bottomless pit under the well.

I hesitated, if there is a bottomless pit down here, then it would be strange if I jumped down and didn't smash it.

At this time, the ginkgo trees in the village were blown by the wind and dropped their dead leaves.

The ancient well began to whine again, like the mournful cry of a whale falling.

"Woohoo."

The big black dog roared at me, as if to say, "Jump."

I closed my eyes, stood at the mouth of the well, and sniffed, "Lao Hei, if you are still my dog in the next life, I will never let you guard the gate again." ”

Poof, I'm ...... Jumped off.

The wind ran to the sides of my cheeks, my hair was messy and covered my eyes, I seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, and my ears were blocked and ached, I don't know how long it would last before I landed safely.

Everything is gambling, anyway, I'm in the underworld, snakes and ghosts have seen it, and nothing can stop me.

Bang bang

The cold sensation stimulated my brain and made me open my eyes.

"Look! A ghost has been transferred into the Lethe River! ”

Lethe River?

It is said that when I drink the water from this river, I forget everything, and I immediately spit out the water in my mouth.

I started to flutter, and they all said that children in the countryside would swim with landlubbers or dogs, but I wouldn't, because when I was a child, I felt that there was no need to learn those things because I was blessed by white snakes.

However, I was wrong, and I was already in the water for the second time.

The first time was when he was thrown into the sea by the village chief and came to the underworld to marry the king of the underworld.

The second time was to escape from the small world with the help of Lao Hei and prepare to leave the underworld.

But when I heard the name Lethe River, I realized that I had not left, but had come to the real underworld.

An old fisherman, dressed in a cloak and wearing a veil, swam towards me with a boatload of men.

When they saw me overboard, they poked me with their oars and made me hold on to them.

The people on the boat also hurriedly came to help, but when they touched my hand, they immediately retracted.

And because of the influence of gravity, I drifted back down the water, farther away from the boat.

"She, she...... It's different from us, it'...... It's alive! ”

"Alive? The living come to the underworld! ”

They are mutual, you look at me, I look at you, indifferent.

The old fisherman also stopped moving, as if in deep thought of something, and watched as I puffed out my cheeks, pinched my nose and held my breath, and still refused to take a sip of Lethe water, and began to slide the oars again, and came forward to poke me with the oars.

And I grabbed the last straw, raised my legs back, made waves, grabbed the bow of the boat and went ashore.

"The soul ferryman does not carry passengers for free, this guest is invited to ......."

The old fisherman, rubbing his index and middle fingers, looked into my pockets.

I remember that I still had ten yuan in cash, and I don't know if I couldn't use it due to the influence of the Lechuan River, and when I took it out, it was already wet.

"Dare to ask this girl, how many years of life do you have to pay to save your life?"

"What?!"

I wrung out my clothes and glanced at the people on the boat, no...... Ghost.

They also looked at me with strange eyes, cold without a trace of temperature.

The ghosts here are different from the small world I saw in the small world created by the green snake, their upper body is human, and the lower half of their body is flickering and bright, revealing different colors, red, red, green, blue, and purple.

"In the underworld, there is no currency, and the most valuable thing is only the life span of the afterlife, is a hundred years enough?"

"Hades...... Hades is generous! Enough is enough. ”

A slender white arm rests on my shoulder, a cold and cool sense of familiarity.

"Qingqian, you caught up so quickly!"

I looked at his handsome face with a hint of bewitchment, and I couldn't get angry, and the female ghost on the boat saw his face, and the deer crashed into exclamation, but I didn't have any emotional color except disgust.

He is wearing it today, the dark blue back is embroidered with the pattern of the python flying to the immortal, the wide sleeves hang down from the waist, the skirt is on the ground, the long hair stands up, and the wind blows the hair flying, leaving only domineering.

I didn't have time to look at his dress, but shivered with cold, saw an empty seat, and sat down.

Looking at the mandala flowers dripping with blood red jade on both sides of the river, fluttering with the wind, the petals were swept up by the yin wind and flew all over the sky.

There is no natural pure blue sky, only a black curtain shrouded, not even decorated stars, and I should have fallen from the dark curtain of the underworld into the Lethe River.

"The game has just begun, as long as you are willing to find my Hades Palace, I will return the egg to you and let you go back to the world, how about it? Dare to play? ”

I didn't speak, but the old fisherman was the first to interrupt our conversation, and when he took off his cloak, I saw him.

Soul ferryman, I haven't heard my grandmother say it, I should be a person when I hear the name, but when I saw a faceless man, I was so frightened that I shrunk into a ball.

"Hades? I have been ferryman in the underworld for three hundred years, and I can't find a path to the palace of the Hades! ”

"Soul ferryman, one soul ferryman, two souls, three reincarnated people, you need to know what my Hades Palace does?"

Qingqian showed his green tail, and his tail rolled up the ferryman's body, entangled him to death, and the other party groaned in pain.

I opened my mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, I saw the whole process in my eyes and didn't dare to make a sound.

It turned out that this was the end of the deception.

I looked at the watch in my hand, it was already six o'clock in the morning, but the underworld seemed to know day and night, and by the white lantern hanging from the branches, I looked at his face, and he looked at me at the same time, showing a strange smile.
