The so-called soul was the thing that had no form, no consciousness, only a white mist. The levels of ghosts could be categorized into normal ghosts, evil spirits, demons, devils, and wraiths. These things could all be called ghost spirits.
Then there was the spirit. This was the highest level of ghosts. There were some spirits that, when cultivated to a certain level, could become an existence on equal footing with gods, or even surpass gods.
It was just that the Earth Binding Spirit that they had just seen had fallen into a situation where it was trying to rob people of their souls due to severe injuries. As for why she had let him go, Bai Mu didn't know and didn't want to investigate it any further.
As the two conversed, they arrived at the entrance of the Bian Tou Mountain. Bai Mu was about to enter through a small path, but was stopped by Mo Xin.
He also said that it would be 12 o'clock in the afternoon if he went up to the hill.
Mo Xin told Bai Mu, "The Yin Qi in the Nine Nether Maze City is extremely dense. During the noon when the Yang Qi is extremely strong, many Yin Spirits are resting and in a state of relaxation. If we enter this way, the danger is lower.
At noon, Bai Mu stood at the foot of the Bian foot mountain. He raised his head to look at the relatively tall mountain, and estimated just how many unknown and terrifying things existed within this Nine Nether Maze City.
Ye Zichen thought about the underground palace he stayed in and wondered which place had a 'smell' more compared to that place. With that in mind, he directly headed towards a small path that allowed him to enter the Nine Nether Maze City.
"Bai Mu, be careful. Don't be fooled by the illusions inside." Mo Xin looked at Bai Mu in front of him and reminded him loudly.
"Don't worry."
As Bai Mu walked, he didn't think that the path before him had any changes. It was just a simple mountain path. As he thought about it, the scenery in front of him started to change.
A pitch-black tunnel appeared right before him. Turning around to look behind him, Bai Mu couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Where was he?
The mountain path behind him was no longer the same one he had been on earlier, and the place he was in was like a self-created space. There was nothing in this space except for Bai Mu and a pitch black tunnel that stretched out before him.
Lowering his head to look at his feet, he saw that Mo Xin had long disappeared.
He naturally did not suspect that Mo Xin had abandoned him and ran away. This was because this Mo Xin had said that there were too many unforeseen events in the Nine Nether Maze City. Any random place could cause them to scatter.
"Could this be the entrance to the Nine Nether Maze City?" Bai Mu looked inside, and it was frighteningly dark inside.
"We'll have to go in sooner or later. Let's go in first." With that, he walked into the darkness.
Actually, Mo Xin was able to see Bai Mu, but he was unable to keep up with Bai Mu's pace. Mo Xin could only wait anxiously at the back. When he saw Bai Mu enter the tunnel, he could only pray that his luck was better.
As Bai Mu walked in the boundless darkness, he felt as if he had entered a gigantic cage. This darkness gave off an invisible pressure, as if no matter how much he struggled, he wouldn't be able to break free.
"Da Da Da …" "Da Da Da …"
The sound emitted from the shoe-stepping tunnel was extremely terrifying in this quiet darkness. The sound stimulated Bai Mu's eardrums. However, at this moment, the plot of the horror movie flashed into his mind.
Although Bai Mu didn't feel much fear towards these terrifying creatures, he still felt a sense of unease as he walked down this endless path.
" F * ck, this is my first time in this place. But how could this be so long? It always felt like there was no end to it. Didn't Mo Xin say that the Nine Nether Maze City was the true maze? It shouldn't be the first checkpoint yet, right?
Well, no matter what, he couldn't let his guard down. "Bai Mu, oh Bai Mu, you haven't died even after experiencing so many strange things. I believe that you won't be very unlucky this time around?"
Bai Mu was joking with himself, shifting his gaze to the panic brought upon by the fact that he couldn't see anything. However, he continued to walk forward.
He could faintly sense that in this pitch-black darkness, Bai Mu felt that something terrible was going to happen the moment he stopped moving.
Suddenly, the dark scene changed. The darkness in front of his eyes was replaced by a bright white light, blocking the light that he could not adapt to. Through the light, he sized up this place that was a little too quiet.
A signal came from his brain. He had never been to this place before, but what he saw made him feel a strange sense of familiarity.
Bai Mu was in the middle of thinking about his current situation when a smartly dressed couple rushed past him with a thick bag in their arms.
It seemed to be a baby?
Just as Bai Mu was about to ask something, he extended his hand to greet the two of them. However, the couple passed right through him as if they couldn't see him.
Bai Mu spread open his arms and looked at his body with a puzzled expression. When he saw that the couple was still walking forward anxiously, Bai Mu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Why is my body so transparent?"
Before Bai Mu could react, he had already begun to follow them uncontrollably.
After turning left and right a few times, a white house appeared in front of him. He raised his eyes and saw a red door plate.
When he saw the familiar door sign, his heart skipped a beat. Boom! The world spun around Bai Mu as the string in his head cracked.
The familiar red words "Blessed Orphanage" struck his heart like lightning.
The Lucky Orphanage. This was the place where he had lived for more than ten years.
Why had he come to this place?
He kept having the feeling that after entering this strange Nine Nether Maze City, he would no longer have the brains to do so. Bai Mu kept knocking on his head and asking himself over and over again. No one could see his seemingly insane actions, and indeed, no one could.
He looked at the couple in front of him, then looked at the words' Blessed Orphanage '. Perhaps Bai Mu had already guessed the outcome of the baby he was carrying.
Perhaps it was due to the same fate that Bai Mu's subconscious resisted the conclusion that popped into his mind.
At this moment, Bai Mu gradually forgot the fact that he was in the Nine Nether Maze City!
Calming himself down, Bai Mu had also underestimated the man's appearance.
"No, impossible!" Bai Mu staggered back a step. How was this possible? This person was similar to the chairman of the largest business group in H City. He had also seen Wang Rong's appearance in the company's leaders' photos.
However, this man was even younger now. From the way they were dressed, Bai Mu couldn't help but think, could he be Wang Rong's son?
However, this conjecture made Bai Mu want to laugh. "As a rich merchant's son, how could he abandon his own child? Don't tell me they can't even raise a child? "
Bai Mu walked closer to take a look and saw the woman carrying the child. She looked at the child, who was smiling happily, and asked with reluctance in her eyes, "Hubby, are we really going to throw him away?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu could only sigh with emotion, "Ai!" Another child unfortunate enough to be thrown away. "
The man didn't look at the child. Perhaps he was afraid that if he looked at the child, he wouldn't be willing to part with him. He only replied with a slight "hmm" and didn't say anything else!
" But, husband, I can't bear it! "No matter what, he was born due to my hard work during the past ten months, and is a piece of my body. How can you bear to call me that?" As she spoke, the woman started crying again.
"It looks like that woman is still human." Bai Mu stroked his chin as he commented.
As for the man, when he heard the woman's crying, he seemed to be even angrier. He snatched the child from the woman's hands, pointed at it and said fiercely, "Do you think I want to? Is he not my child? Don't you think, what is he?
"Since the day he was born, he has been covered in black clouds, but even though you didn't see the rolling black clouds, it seems like the black clouds are about to swallow everything on this land. That kind of apocalyptic feeling, that breathless feeling, even till now, I still have lingering fear in my heart." The man pounded his chest as he spoke.
The infant, perhaps sensing that his parents were arguing, pouted and began to cry.
When the woman saw the person she shared a bed with say such words, she only opened her mouth, but did not say anything in the end.
As if the man hadn't said enough, he continued, "After the black cloud passed, when I returned home, I saw a baby with six fingers and six toes.
Such a strange matter, how could I not link the two? Later on, after I read the report from H City, I realized that it wasn't just me who was suffocated by the black cloud. How can I be calm? How can I protect him? "
"Six fingers and six toes?" Bai Mu couldn't take it any longer and retreated two steps back. "Isn't this me?" Stretching out his hands and examining the marks left by the amputated fingers, Bai Mu shook his head vigorously.
"That's impossible! This was impossible! How could they possibly be my parents? From their appearances, they were no bigger than me. "No, maybe it's just a coincidence?" Bai Mu continued to console himself, but why couldn't he control the pain in his heart when he saw these two people?
"But he is only a child. "It hasn't even been a month!" The woman pleaded as she sobbed.
