There is a dragon in the aquarium

Ao Run's head was still dizzy, he rubbed the back of his head that hurt from the fall, and when he opened his eyes, he saw several enlarged human faces.

Those people had male and female faces, and they all looked at him curiously.

He sat up suddenly with a "hoo!", and the crowd around him "hoo!" all moved away.

Ao Run scanned the dense crowd around him, as well as the few men and women who were still staring at him with strange eyes, his mind froze for a while, and he didn't realize what happened.

He remembered...Zhu Xun and him opened the second door of the Dragon Palace, and then they touched a black token, and then came to this place in a blink of an eye.

Speaking of which, where is this place?

He stood up and looked around.

This seems to be a large square, and people are all standing shoulder to shoulder. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.Ao Run tried his best to look up into the distance beyond the crowd. In an instant, when he saw the tall gate and the plaque on it, he was struck by lightning.

gate of hell.

The crimson gate is almost as high as ten floors, and the three golden characters flying like dragons and phoenixes make people shudder.Beside the gate, there are two ghost generals with fangs and claws and green faces and long fangs on the left and right. They are tall and mighty, their beheading knives in their hands seem to be invincible, and they are full of courage.

"Damn it."

Ao Run stared at the gate and blurted out.

"Who's calling me?"

"Huh? Someone called me?"

"Huh? Did someone call me?"

"..."

Ao Run's words "Damn it", attracted the attention of many people around.They looked around, trying to find the person who had "called" them.

Ao Run hurriedly squeezed to the side and slipped away.

Also, since this place is the gate of hell, the many human beings standing in this square may not be regarded as "human beings" in the strict sense, but genuine "ghosts".Ao Run is a big living person mixed here, always feeling very cloudy and uncomfortable.

By the way, where is Zhu Xun?

He fell here with Zhu Xun, so that guy should be around here too.It's just that there are too many ghosts here, comparable to the morning rush hour subway in city A, it is even more difficult to find another person.

Ao Run struggled to move through the crowd while searching for Zhu Xun's trace.

"Hey! What's the matter with you? Do you understand the queue?"

A female ghost grabbed Ao Run's arm and said to him.

Ao Run saw that although there was a crowd of people behind him, he could indeed see a team from where he was now. I am afraid that before that, it was Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge. Forget the water of the river, so the road in the middle is relatively narrow.

I can't go there.

"Feel sorry."

After Ao Run turned his head to apologize to the female ghost, he turned his head and walked in the opposite direction.

The ghosts around him were all looking at him strangely, probably wondering why someone would go in the opposite direction.Ao Run brushed away the ghost group while muttering in his heart.

Strange, strange, strange... Why did he suddenly come to the gate of hell? Could it be that he died suddenly?No way, I have never heard of this case of sudden death because of taking a token in history. Could it be that Ao Run is the first case that has never been seen before or since?

Also... the environment in this underworld is really harsh.

He touched the sweat from his brow.

Although this underworld is far inferior to Huoyanshan, the surrounding area is dry and cold, which really makes people feel uncomfortable all over.Ao Run managed to get out of the crowd and came to a relatively open place. He just took a deep breath when he was coughed repeatedly by the stench that hit his face.

"Cough cough, cough cough!"

He hurriedly covered his nose and looked around.

Soon, he discovered the source of the smell.

Looking closely, the place where he and the group of ghosts are located is a large circular island surrounded by flowing lake water, and the only way to leave the island is through the straight bridge closed by the gate of ghosts.At this time, at the edge of the island, a young girl in a fancy dress was squatting on the ground, holding her chin, sighing while looking at the endless lake.

This unbearable stench emanates from the lake.

Ao Run walked up to the girl and asked her, "What are you doing here?"

The girl stood up and looked at Ao Run.

Just now she squatted on the ground with her back to Ao Run, but Ao Run didn't see clearly.Now that he took a closer look, he found that there was indeed something weird about this girl.

The present world is obviously a modern society, but this girl who looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old is wearing the costumes of ancient nobles.The red and gold clothes combined with her exquisite makeup gave people a sense of grace and luxury.When she stared at Ao Run with those big black eyes, Ao Run had the urge to look away immediately.

The pretty girl smiled sweetly at him: "I'm looking at the lake."

"The lake is so smelly, it's better to stay away from it a little bit." Ao Run persuaded.

This floating must be poisonous gas.

"No," the girl showed a troubled expression, "It's my job to clean up the Wangchuan water, and I can't do it."

"Work?" A question mark appeared on Ao Run's head, "Are you from the underworld?"

No, the gods and Buddhas fled away more than [-] years ago. Not only is there no one in the heavenly palace, but even the people in the underworld should be gone. How can there be any staff?

But Ao Run thought about it again, since the underworld is theoretically empty, how did human beings maintain the normal cycle of reincarnation in the past seven hundred years?Who made Mengpo soup?Who is the guide of the dead ghost?

"Little girl, who is in charge here?"

"Of course it's King Yama."

"King Yama?" Ao Run was startled, "Is he still alive?——Can you take me to see him?"

The girl twitched the corners of her lips with dark red lipstick, and said with a smile: "Of course, but I can't do it if I don't finish the work first. There are too many undead corpses gathered in the river of Wangchuan. People are willing to approach the gutter."

"But..." The girl changed the subject, lowered her head, as if a little embarrassed, "I wore such a beautiful dress today..."

I get it, the girl wants him to help clean up the river.Ao Run understood in seconds.

It's just that Ao Run, even if he wasn't a clean freak, couldn't stand letting him dive into such a stinky lake to retrieve the corpses of dead spirits.But looking at the girl's big watery eyes full of hope, and thinking about going to see King Yama to find Zhu Xun's purpose, he sighed again, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

do my best.Zhu Xun, if you trouble me again after you go back, you are a heartless bad person.

"Okay." Ao Run agreed.

"Yeah!" The girl smiled and clapped her hands, "I had a wish a long time ago, to see the real dragon enter the water again with my own eyes. I never thought it would come true today!"

Ao Run stood by the lake, with one foot suspended above the water, and paused.

He turned his head and looked at the girl, eyes wide.

"What? You know I—"

The girl stretched out one foot and kicked Ao Run fiercely: "Go in!"

The moment his face was about to touch the stinking lake, Ao Run's eyes reflected the girl's smiling angelic face with a little despair.

At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have been tricked.
