Following the unhurried footsteps of the white-robed man, Zhou Ke'er and the flamingo quickly passed by the Naihe bridge, continued to walk forward, and soon came to a waterfall - it was a black-red stream of water that poured down from somewhere, in short, from the top, and rushed straight into the Lethe River.

Although the waterfall was dark in color, it was not filthy, and it contrasted with the Lethe River that bordered below, which was bubbling with corpses and filth.

I saw the man put his hand into the waterfall, as if he had opened a curtain, and split the waterfall in two, and opened a small horn.

He first strode in by himself, then continued to hold the waterfall that was opened with his hand, turned his head to look at Zhou Ke'er and the flamingo, and motioned for them to come in quickly.

Zhou Ke'er naturally had nothing to fear, so she followed in without thinking. The same goes for flamingos.

"This is where I live, you can stay here for a while, and soon a ghost will be sent to deal with your affairs."

When he saw that Zhou Ke'er and the flamingo had entered, he withdrew his hand and restored the waterfall to its original state—although from the inside, there was no waterfall there, just a large icy flame that seemed to burn forever.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to a very shabby-looking hut not far away, "It's a pity that there is nothing to entertain you, but maybe you don't need all this red tape." After all, everything here is dead, the land is dead, the wood, the stone, the sky, the sun, all dead. I'm dead too. You too are dead. ”

"Eh, don't talk so casually. We don't even know your name. ”

Zhou Ke'er naturally regarded this place as his home, and casually found a stone that looked like a stool next to the hut and sat down, and then asked the white-robed man.

"The name... I don't remember. The names of the dead don't mean much. Because no one else will call it anymore. ”

The white-robed man still had an indifferent face, no, to be precise, it was better to look like a lifeless look.

The contrast is obvious, Flamingo's facial paralysis is because she can't find something interesting, so she won't show other expressions, but if she encounters something interesting, she won't deliberately keep her facial paralysis, and this white-robed man has no expression because anything means nothing to him.

"Or, you can call me Hanami. I remember someone calling me that, but it's long gone. ”

The white-robed man paused indifferently before adding unhurriedly.

"Uh-huh, so what are you doing here? There's even a place for you to stay. ”

Zhou Ke'er looked around, and found that this was indeed a very cramped space, surrounded by a high mountain wall like a canyon, I don't know what it was made of, the mountain wall went straight into the sky, almost bordering the highest sky, and it was impossible to see what was on it.

It was a valley surrounded by mountains, and directly above it was a hot but lifeless, heatless sun, which was only used to provide a glimmer of light.

"This is the place of extreme yin in the underworld, and it is also one of the junctions between the underworld and the human world. Countless evil spirits want to return to the human world from here, so someone has to guard over it. ”

Hanami replied indifferently, "I'm the caretaker here. ”

"Just you?"

The flamingo asked coldly, "You are the only one to guard such an important place?" ”

"Originally, it wasn't enough."

Hanami glanced at the flamingo with his lifeless eyes, as if it was none of his business, and said as if he had just stated one thing, "It's just that he said that he wanted to see the sun in the world again." So I let him go back. ”

"So you're being punished for violating the rules?"

The flamingo asked with a humble eye.

"Nope. I'm in charge here, so there's no rule. He was also picked up by me from Huangquan Road, so naturally there was no need to report to the top. ”

Hanami shook her head, "Later, I saw him again in Lethe. So I didn't pick up any souls. ”

"What about you? Don't you want to see the sun again? ”

Zhou Ke'er asked with interest, he was quite interested in Hanami's way of speaking.

It's awkward and fun.

"I've never seen it, so how can I see it again. I am a dead thing born in Lethe River, and I can't leave here. ”

Hanami looked up at the lifeless sun in the sky and replied softly, "Sometimes, I think that people are indeed very strange creatures. After struggling and suffering in Lethe for thousands of years, just to return to the world in less than a hundred years, he returned to Lethe to suffer. Everything is just a reincarnation, so what's the point? ”

"Crackle..."

As Hanami was talking to himself, the cold flame on the side that seemed to be burning forever suddenly jumped - that was where Zhou Ke'er and the flamingo came in.

A hideous grimace emerged from the flames, and the burning sound of "Boom" rang out continuously, leaving scorched marks on its face, causing it to scream and wail incessantly.

But it still kept trying to burst out of the flames, constantly hitting the invisible film outside the flames.

"Isn't that a situation to worry about?"

The flamingo gestured there.

"It's not going to get by. It is impossible for the wandering spirits who return to the world from here and fall into Lethe River to enter here again. Do not worry. ”

Hanami didn't look there, but replied lightly.

"This is the one you just said, the lucky one you picked up from Huangquan Road?"

Zhou Ke'er stood up and walked slowly to the edge of the flame, "I think he seems to want to say something to you." Don't be so cold, maybe you'll miss something that you might regret for the rest of your life. Let me help you out, it looks like a lot of fun. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Ke'er stretched out his hand and held the hand of the struggling ghost in the flames who struggled to touch the edge of the flames.

The flame was not hot at all, and it did not feel burning. But when you touch it, it acts directly on the soul, constantly eroding the soul and producing a heart-rending pain.

This pain, Rao is Zhou Ke'er couldn't help frowning.

But when Zhou Ke'er held the soul's hand, it didn't take the opportunity to pull hard, trying to rush out of the flames with its strength, but it just stuffed something into Zhou Ke'er's hand.

"Huh?"

Zhou Ke'er was stunned for a moment, and then the soul let go of its hand and disappeared from the flames.

Subconsciously withdrew his hand and took a look at what the hell that guy had stuffed over.

"Ah, it seems to be a gram stone or something."

Zhou Ke'er had seen a lingering stone before, so at a glance, he felt that this thing looked like a lingering stone, but it was tattered, and I didn't know if it could be used.

"You don't mind if I see what's in it, do you?"

Although Zhou Ke'er asked, she didn't ask for an answer, so she sent a little spiritual power into it by herself.

Soon, a blurry image was projected because of the damage.

In the picture, it is a round of the sun.

It's different from the dead sun here.

It is the sun of the world.
