Chapter 49: Chen Liang and the Prophecy
"Everyone, pass on the order of the judge Lord Zhang Lu, now the entire south is being cleaned, during this time, our team must ensure the safety of Eternal Night City, and there is no need to go to other cities for the time being, other cities have been taken over by other reincarnation envoys above the guardian level sent by the Nandi Prefecture."
"Got it, Captain."
Hou Meng's voice came out closely, followed by Hua Yun and Zhao Cheng's replying voices.
"Okay captain." Wang Yu also replied.
Putting the red toad statue in his hand into the pocket of the inner lining, Wang Yu thought silently, the guardian level is the sixth level of the underworld, and it has basically completed the "combination" with the underworld, their ability can basically cover most of the city, and the guardian level is the hell level, and the seventh level of the underworld power, for the hell gatekeepers who guard the hell, there are less than 500 people in the seventh level now in the Nandi Mansion, and it is indeed enough to deal with those souls.
Above level seven is excellence, Hades level, it is impossible for Nandi Mansion to dispatch this kind of power to do this kind of thing, but accidents cannot be ruled out, it can only be said that the soul of the "boy" may be too weak.
But Wang Yu quickly dispelled this idea, if it was really too weak to send a seventh-level reincarnation envoy to carry out a big purge, there could only be some situations that they didn't know.
"Forget it, it's none of my business, I'd better figure out how to get the temporary portal."
Wang Yu stretched and walked out of a shadow.
He had already separated three clones composed of ghost fire to guard the area he was responsible for, and they all dispersed their soul power at the first time, and if there was a situation, he would find it as soon as possible.
Wang Yu's body walked aimlessly in Eternal Night City, and when he saw a shop on the road, he went to inquire about the information of related items, but as expected, no one knew about the existence of such things.
"This temporary portal is so tight, in this special period, I can't ask Nandi Mansion directly, I can't discuss with the captain to get a little, isn't this torture......"
"No, no, maybe it's not the case, if the temporary portal is very tight, then according to the operation of the city, the trade of goods goes from the elevator above, then people can't also take the elevator down from above, there is a portal here, those high-level personnel, or the leaders of the sheriff, must also go through the portal, since the Nandi Mansion can give this thing to the sheriff, it is very likely to spread among the people, unless the people here don't want to go out."
Wang Yu kept denying his guesses and constantly verifying his ideas, however, after inquiring all the way, there was still no news.
Until noon, he was tired of running, went to an unknown stall, and ordered a local barbecue rice.
At this time, a teenager who looked like he was passing by here, and after seeing Wang Yu, he moved a small stool, sat next to Wang Yu, and then ordered the same meal as Wang Yu.
Wang Yu didn't pay much attention to it, until the other party took advantage of the boss's cooking time and said to him:
"I heard that there is a stranger in this neighborhood recently, who has been inquiring about some rare things, can't it be you, big brother?"
The young man's slightly immature voice sounded in Wang Yu's ears, Wang Yu did not speak, but continued to eat, he believed that the other party would continue to talk if he was interested.
At the same time, the young man stood up and circled around Wang Yu, who quietly looked at the other party.
It was a little guy in a shabby tunic and brown shorts that looked very dirty, with the innocence of his youth on his face, and a few scattered mud spots, all of which were in a teenager who was much thinner than his peers.
"You don't have a name behind this dress, what's your name, big brother, can you tell me?" The boy turned around and continued to ask.
Wang Yu turned his head sideways at this time, looked into the other party's eyes, and found that the young man's eyes were extremely clear, like lake water without impurities.
"My name is Yu Wang, you can call me that, where did you know those things?"
Wang Yu turned his name upside down, anyway, there are all kinds of names in the south, and there are all kinds of them.
"Yuwang, it's a bit interesting, I didn't have a name, but Grandma Chen named me Chen Liang, you can call me Xiao Chen, they all call me that."
Chen Liang sat down again at this time, holding his head with his somewhat dirty hands and watching Wang Yu eat.
"I know everything on this street, from the first time you walked in here, our people didn't pay attention to you, but I didn't expect what you were looking for to be so precious." Chen Liang deliberately lowered his voice and said in a unique soft voice.
"Then you are amazing, and you know that this is a precious thing, you are...... The organization, or is it something else? ”
"Yes...... No, we're just a wretched person that no one wants, but we have some secrets. Chen Liang puffed up his chest proudly.
"Do you have anything I inquired about?"
"Yes, we definitely have, I've used it myself, and there doesn't seem to be much fun in other cities, but it's still fun in Eternal Night City, and there's holes all over the ground."
At this time, Chen Liang's meal came, and the little guy was not too dirty, so he picked up the chopsticks with his hand and ate it.
"Then you're here to take me to your place?"
Wang Yu had finished eating at this time, and he asked the boss for a basin of water.
"Well, I won't take you there, they don't want to deal with you, but I know, Grandma Chen also knows, you are our hope, Grandma Chen said that one day, someone will take us out of here, out of the underground, and leave completely, although I don't really want to leave here."
Chen Liang looked reluctant, but from his words, Wang Yu felt some curiosity in his heart.
After letting Chen Liang wash his hands and face first, Wang Yu asked again:
"I don't even know what your situation is, why should I take you out of here, is that Grandma Chen so sure?"
"What Grandma Chen said is true, she never lied to me, Grandma Chen is the only prophet we have here."
Prophet? Could it be that this Grandma Chen is a user of spiritual power? Why didn't such a special ability work for the Southland, but instead nested on the edge of this Eternal Night City.
"Grandma Chen knows the power of the underworld?" Wang Yu asked cautiously.
"We all have spiritual powers, and our abilities are not the same." Chen Liang's attention was all on the meal in front of him, and he replied indifferently.
Don't have a registered user of the power? Or rather, a retiree? Probably more of the latter......
"So, you're also going to have spiritual powers, right?" Wang Yu asked.
"I was wrong." Chen Liang immediately replied, and just when Wang Yu was a little suspicious, the other party continued: "Our spiritual power only appears when it is underground, and if we leave the underground space, there will be nothing. ”
Ground floor? Wang Yu's left and right eyelids twitched at this time.
"Why is this, how can there be such a bizarre thing, people all over the world know that the underworld can only obtain a kind of ability of its own from it after receiving the baptism of the river Styx, is this kind of spiritual power of yours?" Wang Yu didn't let his surprise show, but asked with a smile.
"We don't know, anyway, if we go to that place, our bodies become very magical, some people become very powerful, some people can see far with their eyes, and some people, they can conjure wood out of thin air...... There are many more examples, I can't even go on. ”
"Okay, you can take me to you later, and I'll take a look." Wang Yu didn't ask any more, he already knew it in his heart.
Unknown pollution from the underground, Su Heng mentioned that the Beidi Mansion had discovered terrible things underground, and the previous souls in Shangshui City also made it clear that the Beidi Mansion had opened the underground seal in order to seal their gods.
And the important thing is that the split soul, he calls all the samsaric envoys as tainted souls.
From this, it is not difficult to deduce that the source of the underworld power is actually underground?
Wang Yu fully suspected that the group of people to whom Chen Liang belonged should be because of the influence of geographical conditions, which made them feel something underground, or that they were very close to something, which led to the indirect acquisition of spiritual power.
Because from Chen Liang's description, Wang Yu is completely sure that it is the power of the underworld.
"I can't take you there, you have to go by yourself, Grandma Chen said that our boss won't let a young person like me bring a newcomer over, I can tell you how to go, who to find."
Chen Liang burped, reached out and took the tissue handed over by Wang Yu, wiped his mouth, and the satisfied expression was quickly engraved on his face, Wang Yu saw him, as if he saw his past self, and there were some special emotions in it.
"Okay, you tell me how to go, I'll treat you to this meal." Wang Yu said slowly.
"I was actually going to let you pay for it, because I didn't have much money on me." Chen Liang stood up and slapped some of the dirt on his body.
"Okay, you can say it."
The young man approached Wang Yu at this time, and whispered in Wang Yu's ear that only the two of them knew.
After a few minutes, the boy finished and ran away.
"Hey, Brother Yuwang, don't tell others that I said it!" Chen Liang just ran out a few meters, turned around and shouted loudly.
"No problem." Wang Yu got up and responded.
After paying for the meal from the boss, Wang Yu got up and walked in one direction on the street, where there was a shop called Old Mr. Shop.
……
Wang Yu's footsteps walked to the bottom of the stairs step by step, and as his footsteps appeared, Wang Yu felt that some people were approaching the neighborhood, and finally, Wang Yu walked to the bottom, and under a dim yellow light, there was a sloping passage in front of Wang Yu leading to the underground.
From here to the real ground, it is about 300 meters.
The tunnel is about 4 meters long, and in the middle of it stands a man in a blue-gray robe, with three people who appear to be thugs behind him.
As soon as he walked in here, Wang Yu felt a power that he was very familiar with, that is, the power he felt when he was baptized by the River Styx in Nandifu.
It has the same power as the River Styx!
After Wang Yu's feet entered the corridor, the man in the blue-gray robe said in a deep voice:
"Outlander, you can choose to defeat me, or I'll throw you out."
