Chapter 98: Realm of Mortals (1)

The Warden of Yong Ye City was neatly dressed in a black military uniform, a military cap and military boots, his slender figure making quite a sight.

The shadow cast by the brim of his hat covered his eyes. He walked with a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow, and the stick in his hand was swinging along with his steps. As he stretched out his stick, it banged hard against the steel frame then retracted again.

Bang!

With every tap, the jumbled-up figures on the wall trembled.

Bang!

This was perhaps a warning from the Death God, yet it also seemed to be a sort of urging. Amidst the sound, Tang Cuo also caught a clear, crisp echo of bells. It was the chime of several small bells hitting each other, sounding all very, very soft.

When Xiao Tong approached, Tang Cuo saw a string of pearl-sized golden bells hanging on his right wrist that was holding the stick.

The bells rang every time he flicked his wrist. As The Warden slowly walked out of the darkness, he slightly raised his head to reveal his upturned eyes hidden under the hat brim, and the curled up corners of his mouth perfectly delivered the meaning of the three words a gentlemanly bastard.

What a rare guest. He looked at Jin Cheng.

The great warden didnt pick me up outside, so I came in by myself. Jin Cheng stepped forward, placed his hand on his chest and saluted: Long time no see.

Xiao Tong: I thought you wouldnt dare to come again.

Jin Cheng smiled: Thank you for the compliment.

Xiao Tong felt his hand getting itchy and he whisked the stick again, but this time it didnt bang against the steel frame. He shook it rather gently, and his tone became lighter: I did say that as long as you dare to step in here again, you have to be prepared to never go back.

When this sentence came out, not only Tang Cuo, but even Leng Miao was showing a hint of astonishment. After three years of dealing with Jin Cheng, he never knew that Jin Cheng also had issues with Xiao Tong.

How does this person manage to piss off people everywhere?

Before you strike, let me ask the great warden a question.

Chong Yanzhang?

No, a bald girl.

You have something to do with her?

Well. Jin Cheng smiled: She owes my man a life, and I want to get it back.

Your man? Xiao Tong glanced at Leng Miaos face, shook his head, and finally stopped at Tang Cuos face. Only then did he show a look of scrutinisation, but it was impossible to know whether he was pleased or displeased.

Tang Cuo was expressionless. It wasnt like he was seeing Jin Chengs parents anyway.

Lets do it this way. Xiao Tong shook his stick and pointed at Tang Cuo: You leave him with me for three days, and Ill tell you.

With absolutely no hesitation, Jin Cheng turned him down: Certainly not. Were in a we live and we die together sort of relationship. We werent born in the same year, month and day, but we must die in the same year, month and day. My great warden, even you wont be able to separate us.

Shut up or Im seriously beating you up.

Leng Miao put up a very strange expression, raising his eyebrows to look at Tang Cuo then Jin Cheng, as though he hadnt realised that they were in that kind of relationship. He seemed even a tad more surprised than when he learnt that the little girl wasnt a simple person.

At this point, a loud noise came from the distance. Perhaps some prisoners used large-scale explosive weapons to blast a big hole into the wall.

In a blink, smoke and dust filled the air, and everyones eardrums were attacked by piercing sounds of footsteps and curses.

Shes here!New novel chapters are published on

Shes coming here, run!

Who is stopping her?!!

F*ck! Its just a little girl, why are you all scared out of your wits %#*^ Dont come here!

Faster, faster!

Looking around, they had arrived at a fork in the road.

A Y-shaped intersection suddenly appeared in the wilderness, diverging into two solitary roads that were as straight as an arrow. Two street signs stood on the left and right, but there were no road names on them, only two familiar symbols.

Male and female.

The branching of life? Jin Cheng pondered and gazed back and forth at the two signs, then he glanced at the other players who had turned up here.

These players also heard the system announcement when they entered the dungeon, but they were, at the same time, dumbfounded and surprised at everything in front of them. Looking closely, the crimson shade in their eyes was slowly fading. It could be seen that them entering the dungeon had scrubbed off the effect of BS055.

Whats the matter? Arent we in jail? Why did we trigger the dungeon???

What should we do now? What kind of dungeon is this?

Over there, is that Jin Cheng?!

And

F*ck!

As expected, Jin Cheng and Leng Miao were instantly recognised, for the scar on Jin Chengs face was truly eye-catching. The famous scarred beauty of Yong Ye City as soon as you saw him, you would know him.

Leng Miao still wore a cold expression, emanating an indifferent air to other players. Without even discussing it with Jin Cheng, he straight away stood in front of the male symbol.

Jin Cheng thought for a moment, then thought for another moment, and eventually, with the corner of his mouth tugged up, he walked towards the female path.

Leng Miao looked at him, his icy cold face showing an expression that was difficult to describe Is something wrong with your head?

Jin Cheng shrugged: Dont underestimate Yong Ye Citys wickedness. A simple-looking game may not be so simple, while a tough-looking game may allow us to survive against all odds.

What hardships would a man or a woman encounter on the path of life? This was a topic that had been discussed for thousands of years.

Which one was more challenging? You would only know when you actually walked on it.

Leng Miao didnt speak. Seeing that the two big bosses were having a disagreement, the prisoners didnt know who to follow. Besides, among them, male players accounted for the majority, while among those who still remained in Yong Ye City, male players also accounted for the majority. So in theory, it seemed easier to choose the male path.

Everyone eagerly wanted to go to Leng Miao, but as soon as the few people at the front made the first steps, they saw Leng Miao walking towards Jin Cheng.

Everyones eyes opened wide in horror. Boss, you betrayed us?!

For a while, the male players didnt dare to move. They wanted to tail behind the big boss but didnt want to take that path. The female players breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed him.

Seeing them walking towards him, Jin Cheng slightly pulled back his cheeky expression, glanced at the pink female symbol again, then brazenly took a step forward.

The male players looked at each other and were reluctant for a moment, then they gritted their teeth and followed suit. It was just that in their hearts, this felt more like a path of no return, where they could only walk on with much uneasiness.

As Leng Miao walked at the very end, he silently counted the people present here there were a total of 28.

At the same time, Tang Cuo, who was pulled into another dungeon, found himself standing in a cemetery and surrounded by neatly arranged tombstones. But these tombstones were very odd, for they all looked like cell phones.

Cell phones were rectangular, which happened to be the same shape as tombstones. As these giant cell phones stood, some of their display screens were flashing on and off, while some remained completely pitch-black.

It was weird that there was only Tang Cuo here. What about the others? Where was the little girl in the red cloak?

Suddenly, the system announcement came again.

Welcome player to the Cemetery of Souls. There are 99 pitiful, sad and woeful souls buried here. The player will be asked to find the three souls that are still alive by studying the tombstones and opening the coffin to verify.

Please note that there will be punishment for opening the wrong coffin.

As the voice fell, a tombstone in front of Tang Cuo emitted a ding dong prompt. He looked over and saw a WeChat window blinking on the phone screen.

A new Moment [pengyou quan], is lit. translated as friend circle. Its a social networking function for WeChat users, where they can create a moment to share texts or other information with their close friends. It functions similarly to a Facebook or Instagram story. had been refreshed.
