It's hell, my lord

17 The Underworld

He had never encountered such a pushover before, and there was nothing but submission. He wrapped his raincoat all over his body, and he didn't even want to look in the mirror: "Are you satisfied?"

Zhu Xingchen put the hat on for him, and under the brim of the hat, He Xian's long and slender eyelashes drooped and spread out on his eyelids.Zhu Xingchen suddenly felt that the heart of a girl who had been cremated for 800 years was reborn like Nirvana, and strangely sprouted him to death.

"My god, it's so cute." He smiled idiotically.

He Xian waved his hand and said weakly, "Go away, you pervert."

When Zhu Xingchen went out with He Xian, the rain outside not only did not subside, but intensified instead, and there was a tendency of inspiration to stage a flood.He sighed, He Xian thought he was going to complain about the heavy rain, so he spoke ahead of him, even if he initiated the words first, his words were always stiff: "Yeah, the rain is a bit heavy."

"..." Zhu Xingchen pulled up the dangling raincoat hat for him: "Ah, yes. Actually, what I want to say is that I should have bought matching rain boots. It must be more cute to wear as a set."

He Xian adjusted his glasses in embarrassment, and found that the way he used to run business could not be applied to the extraordinary Zhu Xingchen, and he failed nine times out of ten.

The taxi stopped, and two funny heads emerged from it. The two confronted the closed gate of the mall in the pouring rain.Zhu Xingchen looked at his watch and said, "It's already time, did you bring the ticket?"

"Bring it." He Xian just took out the tickets from the torn bag that Zhu Xingchen gave him, and the moment the two tickets hit the air, they were swallowed by a blood-red flame.He Xian didn't feel the burning sensation in his hands, but his fingers were frozen stiff by the fiery red color.

Zhu Xingchen hurried forward to knock out the flame in his hand, and it fell into the puddle, but it still burned for a few seconds, until the two tickets were not even ashes left: "It's the underworld fire, from the underworld, the real hell blood." He was too careless, and let He Xian take these two tickets, if he took them out later, all the talismans he drew with great difficulty would be turned into a handful of powder.

He Xian's hand was already purple, Zhu Xingchen folded the yellow talisman several times, squeezed He Xian's chin with one hand, pinched the talisman with two fingers of the other hand, and stuffed it into He Xian's throat.Before the latter could react, he had already swallowed the ball of paper.

Zhu Xingchen let go of his hand, He Xian coughed a few times, and the talisman had already fallen into his stomach.Only then did He Xian feel the stiffness in his hands eased, and the purple floating in his palm was stopped before it had time to spread.

"Why do you think the owner here invited us? Especially you, who were almost killed by the fire before he entered." Zhu Xingchen patted He Xian on the shoulder. When He Xian looked up, he found that the shopping mall in front of him was in vain. In a different way, a castle-like gate stood in front of them.

"But I have to take you with me." Zhu Xingchen seemed to be talking to himself: "This is an amusement park more than 20 years ago. I was scared to death in a haunted house. If it was a child or someone with heart disease, it would not be surprising. But at that time, it was two young strong men who had no medical history."

He Xian pressed the cloth bag hanging in the raincoat with his hands, and asked, "And then?"

"Then there were all kinds of 'accidents', such as someone disappearing on the Ferris wheel—that is, it was fine for people to go in, but when the Ferris wheel stopped, the inside was already empty. There was no monitoring at that time, and the facilities It’s not perfect. These cases will be over.” Zhu Xingchen turned the mechanism from the puppet box Wan Yunhong found, and rolled out a key with a “click”.

"Later, more and more people died and disappeared inexplicably, and gradually no one dared to come here. I don't know how this playground persisted, but it was burned down not long after." Zhu Xingchen took The key walked towards the gate and said, "Now there is a shopping mall on it."

"That person burned down the entire playground in one go? It's so big, someone will find it." He Xian followed him and asked, only to see Zhu Xingchen insert the key into the door, and half of the body beside the door was covered. The charred clown puppet bowed down and said mechanically: "Welcome."

Mixed with the "squeak" sound of the door opening, it became an unreal grotesque.

He Xian was really taken aback this time, at first he just followed Zhu Xingchen, not noticing that there was a weird puppet standing next to him.Zhu Xingchen patted him on the shoulder again comfortingly: "Scared?"

He Xian shook his head, not wanting to lose face.

"I was also puzzled at first, but I saw that the two tickets were ignited by the fire of the underworld. The things in the underworld can only be burned clean with the fire of the underworld. It is not that if the things in the underworld are eroded, a playground like this big will not come out. It can be completely burned in half an hour without leaving ashes."

The two walked in together, and the door behind them disappeared immediately, turning into a thick red wall. Zhu Xingchen continued to walk forward indifferently: "Those two tickets are probably just an 'introduction'."

"What primer?"

"Lead out the passage to the underworld, and the objects in the world burned by the fire of the underworld will be trapped in the underworld forever. It will be much more tormented—at least there is still hope in that place, and the day when he will be released after serving his sentence." Zhu Xingchen said a series of words in succession, drooling dryly.

In the heavy rain, the playground turns like a maze. One green, one yellow, a frog and a duck are slowly moving forward, which dilutes the eerie atmosphere and adds a sense of humor that is incompatible with it.It's just that they don't know if the two people in it know that they are falling into the urn step by step, whether it will break the calmness and calmness between them without any urgency.

The curtain was gently lowered, and the puppet's head lost its support in vain, and fell down with a "click".There was a laugh in the dimly lit room, but it sounded like a whimper: "I'll give it back to you... I'll give it back to you."

At this time, the eyes of Zhu Xingchen and He Xian were suddenly lit by lights, a luxurious carousel started to start, and the weird music box tunes began to sound again. He Xian always felt that this music had a special attraction, as if there were a pair of invisible palms Pushed behind him, and then he followed the music in a fluffy posture, an instinctive reaction that the brain couldn't control.

"He Xian!" He heard a steady male voice ringing in his ears, and then something as cool as spring water was stuffed into his mouth, until the cool and bitter taste of leaves overflowed in his mouth, he didn't wake up.

In the blink of an eye, the carousel that was originally radiant in front of me was still turning, but it was already full of dry corpses, men, women, and children in different shapes, and even the degree of decay was different.

"What did you put in my mouth? A smell of grass."

"Lizhucao, strengthen your body, and take it for a long time to improve your health." Zhu Xingchen just said seriously, and started talking fart again.

"Calm down, don't be blinded by illusions." Zhu Xingchen reminded: "The ones sitting above are the earth-bound spirits. They are trapped in the merry-go-round and cannot get out, so they have to lure humans to take the bait in order to be a substitute."

He Xian couldn't help being terrified, if he had walked in unconsciously just now, he might be the same as the corpse above by now.

"Can they leave here after they find a substitute?" He Xian couldn't help but glanced back, and the Earth Bound Spirit above was glaring at them resentfully.

Zhu Xingchen sneered: "Leave? How is that possible. As long as someone replaces them, the underworld will not allow an extra ghost to wander. They will only be torn apart and swallowed by the underworld fire, and nothing will be left in the end."

The obsession with longing to be annihilated in flying ashes is so strong, it is really sad and funny.

When living people encounter certain setbacks and pains, there are always some people who clearly know that suicide is a cowardly expression, but in order to avoid trouble and sorrow, they still die.In fact, this is indeed the case. Human death is like extinguishing a lamp, originating from nothingness and ending in nothingness.But when you have seen the eyes of the resentful spirits longing for life here, and the almost crazy expectations of countless ghosts underground for reincarnation, do you still think that life is just a term of no importance?

Sometimes, you have to stand in the dead to look at life in order to discover the beauty of life.
