Sure enough, the door was easily pushed open after the door was opened.
However, the scene behind the door was something that I would never be able to see on earth.
This scene was somewhat similar to the Underworld, but upon closer inspection, there was a huge difference.
This place was like the world's poorest slum, with buildings and buildings that were almost destroyed, but there were still people living in it.
Everyone, whether they were people or souls, was dressed in rags. The entire scene was akin to the ruins after a war. As for the refugees, they were all naked, waiting for their relief.
At this time, Master Wang explained to us, do you see, in fact, this is the world, the most miserable and destitute portrayal. Although all the spirit bodies here had gained freedom, they no longer had any dignity.
There were also people in the mortal world who had committed heinous crimes. In order to escape from the law, they had fled here. Not only did it lose its dignity, it even lost the ability to do anything about it. Here, there were even those ghosts who had escaped the pursuit of Ox-Head and Horse-Face. They had done all sorts of evil deeds while alive and received a great deal of condemnation. They were afraid that if they were captured and returned to the Underworld, they would inevitably be sent to the eighteenth level of hell. Their fear of the underworld forced them to flee. Although the conditions here weren't very good, it was still much easier compared to the harsh punishment.
It was only after his explanation that I understood who it was that had fled here. He was an extremely vicious person who had committed a heinous crime. He was someone who had even lost his soul and reason.
So I said, this place is extremely scary. They sometimes attack new arrivals at will, especially if they are well-dressed like you.
Do we have anything to eat? What's the use of them attacking me?
To be honest, the scene before my eyes made me feel extremely uncomfortable. This was completely different from the feelings I got from facing these lonely ghosts. There was a feeling of suffocation here that made me feel despair.
It was as if all the ugliness in this world had gathered here. All the dark and dirty ones were placed in front of me without any concealment.
What makes me so curious is that the holiest lotus flower in the world would bloom in such a dark and horrible and ugly place.
Where are we going? Looks like this place isn't small. Where did you find the seven lotuses last time? Show me the way?
Why do you think I came with you? I was afraid that you would go the wrong way, which would increase the risk of your being attacked. Follow me, but we agreed that my clay sculpture wasn't bad, but its attack power was weak. If someone really attacked us, you guys would be the ones at the front.
Naturally, lead the way. I will observe the surroundings at any time.
So it turns out that this Master Zhang's fighting strength was not that strong. Then back then, he was quite bold. He didn't have any defensive abilities, yet he dared to charge into the Netherworld Valley by himself. Truly lucky and lucky.
Following his footsteps, they passed by a very simple house. In that house, there was a young man in ragged clothes sitting there. It was unknown how long it had been since he washed his face, making it hard to see his face. He was holding a bowl in his hands, probably for the sake of begging for food. It was really pitiful, as he couldn't eat his fill here, nor could he wear anything warm.
As we passed his house, he suddenly rushed out and blocked our way.
This action of his really gave me a big fright. Originally, my heart was always tense and I didn't know how much danger was hidden in the darkness. His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he suddenly rushed out.
What was he trying to do? Robbery? We have neither food nor money! I shouted.
The outburst of the tramp can stand in front of us and let us pass without speaking or doing anything. That's why we don't know.
At this time, Master Zhang whispered to us, I feel that this person's final goal is for us to bring her away, he feels that the few of us dressed decently, so our status shouldn't be too low. In my opinion, he must be a fugitive who escaped from the outside world.
I took a closer look at the homeless person in front of me. His appearance wasn't that vicious, and his face was still somewhat handsome. However, his entire body was dressed in shabby clothing, making it difficult to see his actual appearance.
It seemed that the conditions here were indeed arduous, and every part of the place gave off a sense of despair. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to stay here forever.
I carefully took a step forward and said to the homeless person opposite me, "Um, we really have something to do after entering this place. We can't take you away. Sorry …"
Does the man on the other side understand what we're saying? Hearing that I rejected him, he shook his head and immediately kneeled on the ground, kowtowing like we were desperately trying to kowtow.
This really gave me a fright. I couldn't afford to take such a big gift. He reached out to help her up, but I didn't expect that when my hand touched his body, he would suddenly hug me tightly.
At that moment, I panicked. I didn't know what happened as the people beside me tried their best to pull him away. But I was still shaken, and I felt a great sense of dread at the moment he held me.
Although the vagabond was pulled apart, he still continued to howl with all his might, as if he was angry or silently begging. This commotion was too great, it attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and a lot of people gradually gathered around, as if some of them were here to watch the commotion.
This way, we'll immediately attract the attention of this kind of people. Let's hurry up and leave, otherwise, we really won't be able to get anything!
Master Zhang reminded us, he is after all, the old driver and is more familiar with the situation here.
What was going on? I complained as I walked.
The Netherworld Valley was a subdistrict, and the place they just entered was a slums area. They were all isolated ghosts that had no power or influence here, and no one to support them. They really could not hold on and looked for their backers. Let's go quickly. Once we're out of this area, they won't be able to enter as they please.
Was this place also divided into classes and ranks? At first, I thought that the entire Netherworld Valley was like what I saw before my eyes, like a ruined slum.
The Master Zhang continued to explain, if we continue to walk forward, it would be downtown, also known as the Black Light District. The people that lived there were all not ordinary people, they all have some ability, and they even formed gangs, which was why there were many gangs appearing. They were fighting each other for territory, so that place was also the most dangerous.
This scene sounded like a scene from an ancient movie in Hong Kong, like a gangster scene fighting for territory to form a gang. It seemed that regardless of where one was, whether one was a human or a spirit, human nature would never change.
Unskilled civilians were also ostracized. The stronger their abilities, the better their lives and chests would be.
Then, we will ignore everyone and ignore everyone. Then, we will quietly walk through that place, wouldn't there be no more danger? Fu Junqing asked.
I say, after all these years, you are still so childish, how can things be so simple? If the slums that we passed through make you feel despair, then entering the downtown area, what you feel is endless suffering from a fate worse than death.
How could it be so terrifying? Do you think we passersby are going to join in on their gang fight?
Master Zhang shook his head. Those places of theirs could be considered to be the evil side of human nature, they simply cannot allow strangers to invade their territory. If we force our way through, it would probably be very difficult, so I think that we should adopt a lenient policy this time.
Why does it feel just like a gang of gangsters? Right, did you pass by here the last time you were here? patted Master Zhang on the shoulder.
The last time I came, I didn't know the way. I walked a lot of wrong paths, and nothing happened when I passed through the slums. However, I was stopped by someone. However, once they reached downtown, things wouldn't be so simple. Running away wouldn't solve the problem. At that time, I didn't know what was going on. When I arrived at a place called Big Brother Sang's territory, Sang was a monster that was half human, half ghost. It was said that in the mortal world, there were many evil deeds that could not be done.
Half human, half ghost, how could such a creature appear? Was he really half-dead?
Master Zhang shook his head. I am not sure, but his strength is indeed the strongest here, and his methods are also the most sinister. He also has the most subordinates, so the last time I was here, I hit the jackpot and placed in his hands. I don't want to recall the details anymore, but what I want to advise you is, yes, this person must be careful.
I thought for a moment and said, then let's go around his place, won't we?
How could it be so easy? His place was too big. No matter how he walked, he would always pass through the areas under his jurisdiction. I feel that rather than moving around and touching the other bosses, it would be better to just get rid of one of them and make it work twice as hard.
I've already written out the only treasure we have on us. Even if we give him money, he won't be able to spend it here.
There was another sentence that I had hidden in my heart and did not dare to say out loud. If this boss was lustful, we would not have had it either.
There is a rule here, of course. Although the boss here is extremely vicious, they still follow the rule. We will follow the etiquette in the martial arts world and send in a greeting letter first.
Go straight to Sang? I feel that this method is not impossible, but the question is, when do we have the time to do it again?
Master Zhang was silent for a moment. Did you all bring ID cards?
