A thin, cold voice floated through the air.

"Bring him up!"

Lamp Ke looked towards the place where the sound came from, and faintly saw a tower, in which there was a slight flickering light, and behind the tower was dark, as if there was a huge wall blocking it, so that one could not see the horizon under the dim sky. Deng Ke had already silently decided in his heart that this was hell, whether it was the foul black quagmire, or the gloomy sky, the two moving stone men, and the strange sound coming from the tower, all of which were reminiscent of the scene of hell. It's just that there is only one ghost here, less hustle and bustle, and more quiet. He climbed the tower step by step, covered in mud, and walked very bulkyly, being pushed up by two stone men. The air gradually became cold, and the thick mud coat of Dengke could not resist it. They finally made it up the final staircase to a rather spacious spire-filled hall. There stood a man beside the wide, window, which had neither a frame nor glass, and on the stone table to his right stood the only light source in the room, a faint lamp that glowed blue. The blue light was neither fire nor electricity, and it shone slightly blue out of thin air, casting a faint halo on the silver-white armor worn by the man, which looked very weird, and made Deng Ke shudder. Just as he was fascinated by it, he didn't want the man to step in front of him. He pinched Deng Ke's arm, pressed Deng Ke's shoulder, and after carefully looking up and down, he said to himself very dissatisfied:

"Why did you choose such a thin one? What can he do?" he pondered.

"Excuse me. Deng Ke timidly looked at the long eerie face in front of him and asked. "Where is hell here?"

The man glanced at the lamp in surprise and burst out laughing.

"I've seen a lot of Lu people who came to the depression for the first time, and this is the first one like you asked. He laughed as he spoke.

"Depression? What is that? Am I dead? Can I see my parents, my brother?"

The man stopped laughing, his expression became serious, and with a wave of his hand, he severed the rope that was tied to the lamp.

"Hello, my name is Shou Chu. It's the quagmire guards here. He lazily stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Zhan Dengke. Lamp Ke struggled to stretch out his mud-stained arm.

"One of my main duties here is to explain to every one of you who have come here what is going on here and why you are here. As he spoke, he walked to the stone table behind him, and pulled out a lump of coarse cloth from underneath that was no longer distinguishable and threw it to the lamp.

"I don't understand what you mean. "Lamp Ke was completely confused.

"Put on your clothes, sit down here, and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation. The first man said impatiently, pointing to the stone bench across the table.

"Clothes?" Deng Ke looked down, he couldn't help but blush, the clothes he was wearing on his body were gone, and there was only his ** naked body under the sludge. He hurriedly unfolded the dirty coarse cloth in his hand and fiddled with it for a long time before it was finally dressed, and now he looked like a laborer who had just finished his work. He slowly walked to the stone bench opposite Shou gradually and sat down, this stone bench was as cold as this house, and the gloomy air was so cold that the lamp wanted to shiver.

The first gradually let the stone man retreat, and sat down opposite the lamp. He was not strong but strong, his slender eyes always seemed to have a smile on his face, his pointed nose was straight and long, and there was a mouth that was not big or small, and the corners of his mouth were raised as if to say that he was above all else, and therefore despised everything.

"First of all, I want to clarify to you that this is not hell, you are still alive in this world. The first man looked at the lamp Ke with disdain and began to speak.

"You mean, I didn't drown in the sea, but how could I ......?" Lamp Ke was about to continue, but Shou gradually interrupted him. "Yes, you did not drown, but you passed through the sea's gush to a different world from the land-the depression. ”

"Depression?land?" Lamp Ke still couldn't understand.

"The depression, this is it. On land, that's where you used to be. The sea on land is full of gushing channels that lead to depressions, but they are not opened all the time, but selectively. Because you are strong enough to be chosen to come to the depression by the surging channel, you should be proud and happy. The first man yawned mechanically.

Deng Ke looked at Shou gradually like a dumbfounder. After a while, he said excitedly in a trembling voice:

"Is that true? I'm not dead? It's incredible!"

"Yes, you are not dead. Shou gradually knew that everyone who had just arrived would be happy to hear the news, and the boy in front of him was no exception. Seeing a bright light flashing in Lamp Ke's eyes, he jumped up and asked expectantly:

"In that case, my parents, and my brother are not dead, and they must have been chosen here. You must know where they are now, can you take me to meet them?"

The head gradually frowned, looking very displeased.

"There are many people who make such requests like yours, but this is not allowed. If you're lucky, maybe you'll be assigned to the same place, so you can meet naturally. ”

Deng Ke was disappointed, but immediately cheered up again.

"Can you tell me where they were assigned? My father's name is ......."

"No, no! It's also confidential. The first gradually shook a finger, and his expression became very tough.

"Oh!" he was completely deflated. "Then you can always tell me what I was going to do when I was chosen here. ”

"If you don't ask, I'll tell you. You have come here for a mission, and as long as you complete your mission, you can go back to land. Your mission is to help the people of the depression, and of course you are also helping you landers to build the Ulla Temple yourself. As soon as the temple of Ulla is completed, the god Ula will come, and when the god Ula comes, he will subdue all the sins of the depression, including the sins that will affect you landers. This is a glorious mission, and I believe you will be willing to accomplish it at all costs, right? Brother, what are you waiting for? Why don't you act quickly and let us fight for the early completion of the Ula Temple!" The first man gradually stood up, and said with a high mood instead of his coldness.

"What is that?" thought to him, "This is the same as building a temple on land, isn't it? However, it doesn't seem like a good thing for us to be chosen to do this kind of thing, and besides, I'm still in school, so how can I build a temple? Shizune and Natogo are still waiting for me at home, no, I have to go back quickly. But what about Mom and Dad? Or go back and tell them about it, reassure them, and then come back to Mom and Dad. Well, let's do it!";
