After a whirlwind, Zhou Ke'er and Flamingo opened their eyes again, and found themselves in a place that looked like a ferry, surrounded by people who seemed to have no consciousness and were just blindly moving forward in despair.

The sky was a blood-red mixed hue with pitch black, reflected in a foul scarlet river. There seemed to be countless souls wailing and struggling in the river, arms stretched out from the water, withered and thin like dead branches, still waving and clutching at the air.

There were boats carrying the "people" on the ferry to the other side, but all the "people" on the boat looked confused, not knowing if they really knew what they were doing.

Occasionally, a hand suddenly stretched out from the surface of the river disturbed the boat's movement, and in the midst of the bumps, someone accidentally fell into the river, and was instantly entangled by countless withered arms that swarmed up, and dragged deeply into the river, never to leave.

The other people in the same boat didn't seem to see this at all, and they didn't seem to worry about whether they would suffer the same fate, but they were just as stunned as before.

The occasional "person" who was denied a ride at the ferry did not complain or make a fuss, but walked away in a daze, and then walked into the river on his own, and the filthy water of the river gradually overflowed their bodies and finally drowned them completely.

Seeing this, the flamingo subconsciously wanted to pretend to be frightened, but quickly reacted - no, the sense of disobedience was already full, and she was still pretending to be a fart! Don't pretend, she's having a showdown, that's it? Isn't it okay to be completely afraid?

"I'm afraid this place is similar to the River Styx, Lethe and the like, right? The place where the souls of the dead are connected..."

Zhou Ke'er looked at the environment here for a while, and then asked in a low voice to the flamingo.

"Almost. Do you remember my character template? It's the [Styx River Crosser], so I can almost sense the breath here, and it should indeed be a place like the River Styx, a place of rebirth, or something like that. ”

The flamingo nodded in reply.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded.

【Special Mission Failed】

[Special Mission Failure Consequences Triggered]

[Hidden Main Quest: Soul Returns to Ancestral Land - Failed]

[Trigger Main Quest: Crossing the River and Passing Away]

"Good fellows! You see, my reasoning from the beginning was absolutely correct! As soon as this system prompt comes out, isn't it actually obvious! ”

Zhou Keer looked at these lines of system prompts, and immediately figured out the previous situation.

"This kind of old-fashioned story background, what is there to be proud of when you deduce it? This is the kind of person who eats a fly and has more brain capacity in his stomach than in his head, so he can figure it out at once, right? ”

The flamingo glanced at Zhou Ke'er with empty eyes, not knowing what this guy was happy about, "Isn't it that in fact, several of us are already dead, and we were just in a state of soul before." Originally, we were supposed to come here to die, but because our clan has a lineage of ancestral graves, we can choose to go to the ancestral grave to sleep like all the deceased ancestors. And all the paper figures and old men before us were all guides to our ancestral graves.

And the so-called sense of disobedience is actually a mechanism in the ancestral tomb to find out whether the soul that enters the ancestral tomb belongs to one's own clan. I don't know exactly how this mechanic works, but we were kicked out and returned to Styx anyway because of our sense of disobedience, so we were judged to be outsiders who had maliciously infiltrated it. ”

“... Shh ”

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but sigh unhappily, this guy not only looked down on his reasoning, but also robbed him of his lines! It's really not a!

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the two candles he was holding in his hands had been quickly burned out at this time, obviously pure white candles, but they fell dark red candle tears like blood tears, and the faint green flames quickly disappeared, leaving only Zhou Ke'er's hands full of candle tears.

"Evil..."

Zhou Ke'er felt a little nauseous, and then naturally reached out to the flamingo and wiped it on her clothes, trying to wipe her hands clean.

“... What are you doing? Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you for molestment? ”

The flamingo watched the movements flow smoothly, and Zhou Ke'er, who didn't feel a trace of unreasonableness and anxiety at all, couldn't help but complain.

No matter how innocent she is, when she sees others smearing dirt on herself in a grand manner, it is impossible to continue to remain silent!

"Yes, yes, but anyway, the people there speak nicely, and I go in just like at home, and I love going there. It's just that the guards were so unkind that they didn't allow me to stay there anyway, and they always kicked me out within a few minutes, which was really regrettable. ”

Zhou Ke'er sighed solemnly, looking really regretful.

For Zhou Keer's hob meat, the flamingo had nothing to do, so he could only go along with him, and wiped the candle tears stained on his hands on Zhou Keer's clothes.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing here? If we just rub each other on each other, wouldn't that make sense? What's the difference between this and eating with a child, isn't it still eaten by your own children in the end! What is the difference between what we are doing now and what we are smearing on ourselves? You should just rub it on yourself! ”

Zhou Keer immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, and she looked very upright, very stinky and shameless.

"Say it again?"

The flamingo raised his hand that had not been wiped clean and shook it towards Zhou Ke'er, and gestured twice towards Zhou Ke'er's face, "Clothes, or face?" You pick one for yourself. ”

"Taijun, please, don't pity the villain's clothes, please defile it with your filthy hands!"

Zhou Keer immediately put on a look of seeing death as home.

“......”

The flamingo finally couldn't help but show a hint of disgust - she found that after staying with Zhou Ke'er for a long time, her face was paralyzed several times, and she used to be known to have a paralyzed face for ten thousand years, but now it has changed every day.

"So, our mission now is to cross the river?"

The flamingo had no choice but to change the subject, "There are only a few situations that will happen in the future, either the ferry will not let us get on the boat, or we will get on the boat, and after driving into the river, we will encounter some trouble that may cause us to fall into the river." It's just too simple. ”

"Huh? Aren't you the Styx Crossing yourself? You are peers, why are you afraid of this? It's a big deal, let's grab a boat and come back, and drive over by ourselves. ”

Zhou Ke'er shrugged her shoulders, "Besides... Why does it say let's cross the river, and we'll cross the river? Isn't that shameless? Why does it refuse to carry whoever it says? Why don't we pull up the hell at the bottom of the river and give them a hard time? ”
