C181

The change was too sudden, causing me to freeze on the spot. Even when the cold blade grazed past my head and stabbed towards my back, I was still unable to react to what had just happened.

Ziye took me by the waist and led me forward into his arms.

Is there something behind me?

He couldn't see what was behind him. He could only hear Zi Ye yell towards the direction behind me, "Evil creature, how can you behave so atrociously in such a useless place?"

Although Zi Ye always had a look of helplessness when he said that the death row was not under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, the prison was after all in the Underworld. As a leader, if there were any problems here, then he had to take care of it.

A gust of cold wind suddenly swirled behind me under Zi Ye's scolding. That cold wind was actually like a knife's edge, making my back feel a burning pain.

"Ah —" I cried out in alarm.

After I cried out in alarm, Zi Ye actually embraced me and took a step back. His hand that had just condensed the Sword Qi slashed downwards.

"Aooouuu ~ ~ ~"

A scream came from behind me.

Didn't Ziye say not to hurt people here?

How could he break the rules here!?

It must have been my cry of surprise that disturbed his mind!

Did I make him wrong again? Ziye's knife must not harm anything.

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. My heart thumped as I quickly turned around to look.

He saw a black cat curled up in a corner, holding a broken leg and licking his blood.

The cat's tongue had reverse meat spikes on it. Every time the black cat licked the flesh off its severed leg, it would feel a bit of pain.

Being scary was being scary, but luckily, no murder case occurred.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief and grasped Zi Ye's sleeve, unconsciously increasing my strength.

The black cat licked its mouth full of blood, opened its mouth, and hung the bloody meat on it, "Your Highness, this is a prison full of death, not your sleeping quarters. You came here of your own volition, and you even injured me, aren't you afraid of the Mayor coming to demand an explanation from you?"

I was stunned. This cat, it can talk!

"I'm not a cat. I'm a lynx!"

This was a bit awkward.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a lynx."

But as soon as I said that, I suddenly realized something. Wait a minute, he could still hear what I was thinking!

Then wouldn't I have no more secrets?

My heart tightened as I hurriedly hid behind Zi Ye, not daring to move, afraid that he would discover me.

This thing was too terrifying. It could actually see through one's heart.

Ziye was taller than me by a head. I could have been completely blocked by him if I stood behind him.

Seeing my actions, the black lynx suddenly giggled. "Your Highness pampering this strange and beautiful wife of yours is truly surprising. Back then, you were not a woman, and you had no beauty in the eyes of women."

Zi Ye said in a cold voice, "As for this king, it's not your turn to be a brute's comment. Scram!"

The black lynx bared its fangs, then quickly turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the corner.

I emerged from behind Ziye. "What the hell is that black lynx? Why do I feel like he's so arrogant? "

Zi Ye said with a gloomy expression, "That lynx is the mount of the City Lord of the Dungeon that died in vain. Only when its soul reached the Dao can it obtain such an eternal soul. I just cut off its foot, so it will probably go to the City Lord to report my condition."

A mount? So small, how to sit?

"He went to complain to the City Lord? Is the City Lord of the Fallen Death Prison so powerful? "

Looking at Zi Ye's expression, there was actually a faint trace of fear.

Could it be that he was a very strong person that was difficult to deal with?

Zi Ye's brows slightly contracted as he replied, "The City Lord of the Revenge Prison isn't a very powerful person, it's just that he's very difficult to deal with."

Very difficult to deal with?

That was pretty impressive!

No, I can't stay here any longer. We should hurry and find Sister Jing's brother and try to learn the purification spell outside. If we can't, then I won't be learning the purification spell.

I pulled Zi Ye inside and said, "We should hurry and find Sister Jing's little brother. After that, we should hurry and leave. We really can't stay here for long."

The entire city appeared according to the environment in which all the dead had died.

In other words, if a person's memories were to appear and then disappear, their residence would naturally disappear as well.

But this place is really too big. Countless people die every day in this country, and just as we were passing through a street, a house suddenly appeared.

If I keep looking like this, when will I find it?

"Do you know the child's name?" Zi Ye asked me.

I thought about it. His name, I seemed to know only his breast name.

Zi Ye frowned, "Every person's name is their code name in the mortal world. Even if all of their names have different auras, their name is not the real code name. Try it."

After he said that, I didn't know what to think anymore.

I followed the movements of Ziye, my hands spread out into a semicircle, and the tips of my fingers met in a circle around my lower abdomen.

One with Yuan Qi.

"Say that name in your mind and try to communicate with him. I will be by your side. Remember, you can only open your eyes when I tell you to. "

I nodded and chanted the name in my mind, "Bright, bright. Did you hear that? I'm Yan Nuo. We've met before. bright, bright."

Again and again, again and again, and soon the image of the boy we had seen at Sister Jing's house appeared in our minds.

The boy whose smile revealed a tiger's tooth and whose eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.

Liao Liang, it's Yan Nuo. Do you still remember that I met you once at your house? I'm your sister's roommate, and you gave me your card. You said it was a gift for me.

"Liangliang, your sister is waiting for you. She wants to see you, Liangliang!"

I had seen Light-Lights only a limited number of times. I had called Light-Lights so many times, and the images of Lights had been repeated many times in my mind, like a replay on a video player.

"Yan, Sister Yan Nuo?"

Finally, a very light response rang in my ears. It was bright, and even though my voice had changed, his tone remained bright.

I was elated. The moment I thought about how I could fulfill Sister Jing's wish, I immediately forgot about Zi Ye's warning. I didn't even think before hastily opening my eyes.

A huge, bloody face hung no more than five centimeters in front of me. Eyes squeezed out of their sockets, barely able to keep them from falling, lips completely torn open, red blood, white fat, and something brown like sand stuck close to the face.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" My scalp tingled. I was sitting on the ground, trying to stand up, but the force pushed me forward another centimeter. I immediately lost my footing and couldn't move at all.

Zi Ye covered up my eyes with his hand at the right time, blocking what was in front of me. With a sullen voice, he said, "Didn't you say you'd only open your eyes after opening mine?"

I did see a lot of disgusting things when I met a skinwalker, a lot of disgusting corpses, but they were all corpses and couldn't be moved. Such a living thing appeared before me and spoke to me.

Even though I knew he was just being bright, I was still scared.

Why are you suddenly so close to me!

Tears welled out of my eyes and fell on Ziye's hand, which was in front of my eyes.

"Weren't you bold before?"

He even laughed at me.

"I-I'm not afraid. It's just that I'm not ready. I'm ready. I'm not afraid."

As I spoke, I tried to pry Ziye's hand away, but even though I had already prepared myself in my heart, it was still hard to accept that I could see the light again.

Bright was curled up against the wall opposite me, where there was a telegraph pole. Even if the mortal things were illusions, they would leave shadows wherever there was light, and this was no exception in the underworld.

The pole cast a long shadow on the ground, and the light shrank as far as it could into the darkness beneath the pole.

The tears that had just disappeared flowed out of her eyes once again.

It was just that this time it was not out of fear, but from heartache.

The boy who would show his canine teeth when he smiled, the boy who would squint his eyes into crescent moons, the optimistic boy.

How did he become like this?

Sister Jing said that Mingliang died in a car accident. His body was ruined. She found a makeup artist at the funeral parlor and finally managed to put together what he looked like before he died.

"Bright, is that you?" I took a step closer to him.

Zi Ye suddenly blocked in front of me, "The ghost aura of the underworld is dense. You are a living soul, so you can't get close."

I stopped at a distance, looking at him, trying to speak to him. "Liao, do you remember me?"

Bright looked at me and shrank back, but he was already in the corner and there was nowhere to go.

"Sister Yan Nuo, I didn't mean to scare you. My eyes are broken and I can't see them, but I remember your aura. I want to confirm if it's you. I scared you just now. Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

After saying that, Ming Liang once again shrunk backwards in a futile attempt.

"It doesn't matter. You didn't scare me, but I did. Did I scare you just now?"

I summoned him, and when I saw him at first glance, he must have been heartbroken.

In the darkness, Bright shook his head and looked at me, then at Ziye, as if he had something to say.

He seemed to be afraid of Ziye.

"Don't be afraid, he came with me and won't hurt you." I said with relief.

Mingliang was a little skeptical and paused for a moment, as if he had made some sort of decision. He asked me, "Sister Yan Nuo, are you dead as well? How could you be inside? "

I am a bit at a loss as to what to say. If I was somehow wedded, would he think that I was lying?

I thought about it and decided to change the topic.

Not only is it because he might not understand even if he tells Liang Liang, but we are currently in a hopeless situation. Furthermore, we have just provoked the City Lord's mount, so we should be more careful in everything we do so that we don't have to overhear what I have to say.

"I was entrusted by your sister to come find you. She really misses you and wants to see you again."

Mingliang and Jing-jie weren't born from the same mother, but they had a very good relationship. When Mingliang made that incident, Jing-jie cried so heartlessly that even I, an outsider, felt my heart tighten.

This is also the reason why, after I entered the Underworld, other than cultivating, I wanted to shine first.

Sister Jing has been helping me, and I want to use my own strength to help her fulfill her wish.

I looked at the light, waiting for his answer.

"I won't go. I don't want to see her! "

After listening to what I had come here for, Liang suddenly went berserk. His curled up body suddenly stretched out and crawled out from under the telephone pole. He ran all the way in the opposite direction as fast as he could. (TL: ZHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHI)

"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going, I don't want to see him!"

I was startled by her bright action and was at a loss for what to do for a while before I thought of catching up.

However, at this time, the sky under the bloody sun was shrouded by a crimson cloud. Like a bloody ink, it swiftly spread out with the sky as its paper.

A elegant and beautiful female voice came from the clouds. "Your Highness personally coming to my death row is truly an honor for my city. But, the person who wants to capture me after meeting me, I'm afraid he's not in a good mood."
