Chapter Eighty: Nai River Bridge
Qin Liu, who was originally a little scared, was no longer calm after hearing this.
This is wrong…
Why are the ghost messengers in the underworld so down-to-earth?
The young girl pondered, then compared her height with that of Black Impermanence, and her heart was filled with more questions.
It seems I am not White Impermanence…
However, she still replied.
“This, I don’t know how I got here.”
“…”
Black Impermanence fell completely silent. It looked around, as if searching for a companion.
As a result, it found that White Impermanence seemed to know something long ago and had already slipped away.
It was no wonder that the surrounding lonely souls and ghosts were so frightened with this great divine being in front of them.
“Big brother Black Impermanence, well… take this money, and I want to ask, what is this place?”
Black Impermanence looked at the paper money in its hand, and its face showed difficulty.
It loved money, but this was the first time it felt like the money in its hand was like a hot potato.
“This is near the Nai River, not far from the Human World, but there is still some distance to go to the Underworld.”
“Nai River…”
Qin Liu seemed to have thought of something. Could the river she often dreamed of be the Nai River?
So the bridge on the river…
“Big brother Black Impermanence, has the Nai River Bridge over the Santsugawa broken already?”

“…”
When Black Impermanence heard Qin Liu’s question, its face was as uncomfortable as constipation, and it slowly nodded.
It wanted to speak but hesitated, and it wanted to stop but continued.
Although Black Impermanence did not clearly explain the reason for the bridge’s collapse, Qin Liu could probably guess.
The collapse of the Nai River Bridge was not due to natural factors, but was caused by human intervention.
But in legend, isn’t this bridge the way connecting the Underworld and the Human World?
If it’s broken, won’t the souls of the deceased be unable to return?
No…
Qin Liu’s gaze fell on Black Impermanence.
Perhaps these ghost messengers have some way.
But these things have nothing to do with me, I just want to go back to the Human World now.
“Big brother Black Impermanence, after taking so much money… can you take me back to the Human World?”
As soon as this was said, Black Impermanence’s eyes lit up, and its posture was as if it would send Qin Liu back even if it had to pay money itself.
“Go, go, go! I’ll take you back now!”
Black Impermanence walked at the front, Qin Liu found Black Impermanence’s sudden respect a bit strange, but she still followed.
Along the way, Black Impermanence kept saying strange things.
For example, “If you join this line, do a good job, and the Underworld will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future.”
For example, “The Underworld is already working on a solution for the bridge problem, it will get better after this difficult period.”
Or, “Is the Gate of the Yellow Springs working diligently now? If not, you can beat it to death.”
All sorts of strange words made Qin Liu completely confused.
Hiss… I don’t seem to be White Impermanence.
Then what am I?
However, listening to these words, it seems I am also a ghost messenger?
Thinking of this, Qin Liu’s gaze fell on the lantern in her hand.
Since Black Impermanence seemed to know everything, Qin Liu dared not ask what her job was.
Because if the other party knew that she had amnesia, there might be some danger.
More importantly, aren’t people in the Underworld supposed to see souls and the like?
What if the other party could see that I am not the real Qin Liu?
It’s probably that they haven’t noticed yet, so it’s better not to act rashly.
Led by Black Impermanence, the two ghosts walked forward. Along the way, Qin Liu saw a black coffin.
The coffin was placed quietly in an open space, with no weeds around, and the coffin was very clean.
For some reason, Qin Liu felt that this coffin was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn’t recall it at all.
So, Qin Liu’s gaze fell on Black Impermanence.
After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked.
“Can I go and see that coffin?”
Black Impermanence looked in the direction Qin Liu pointed, then said.
“Isn’t that your coffin?”
“…?”
Black Impermanence’s words caused a huge wave in Qin Liu’s heart.
This black coffin is actually mine…
No, to be precise, it belongs to Qin Liu.
“If you want to see it, it’s not impossible, but after all, it’s your own body, there’s nothing to see.”
“I’ll take a look.”
Qin Liu, holding the lantern, walked towards the black coffin.
When she reached the coffin, an even stronger sense of déjà vu appeared in her mind.
She felt that this coffin was increasingly familiar.
Some unknown memories began to appear in her mind.
It was a girl with a blank expression. The girl’s appearance was not clear, only that she was on the black coffin in the center of the ritual.
Around her stood four men in yellow Taoist robes. They surrounded the girl and kept chanting strange incantations.
Qin Liu couldn’t hear clearly, but she could hear a terrifying, ghastly roar echoing continuously in her ear.
As the wailing became more and more tragic, the girl in the center of the formation seemed to have her soul gradually stripped away.
Her eyes became more and more hollow, and her expression became extremely dull.
And a huge, terrifying black shadow appeared behind her.
Just then, the formation began to become unable to support itself and shattered bit by bit.
The terrifying aura generated by the shattering directly swept through the entire house.
The screams of men, women, old, and young stopped abruptly.
Except for the four Taoist priests, everyone in the house died.
And the black coffin in the center of the formation slowly closed and sank into the ground.
A large number of footsteps were heard outside the house, and many militiamen and police officers rushed in and took away the four Taoist priests.
The memory ended abruptly, but in the next second, the girl with a blank expression appeared in front of Qin Liu.
The two were very close, and Qin Liu finally saw the appearance of the person in front of her.
This is me!
“…You are a guide… you are to lead wandering souls back to the Underworld…”
“Don’t forget your mission…”
“All wandering souls, all fierce ghosts, all those who are about to die and those who have already died… must be brought back…”
The soundless voice kept repeating, eroding Qin Liu’s consciousness bit by bit, and she couldn’t help but grip the lantern in her hand.
“Wow? Someone is still offering incense to you?”
Black Impermanence said in surprise upon seeing the incense ash on the coffin.
“However, you still have a lot of work to do, let’s go.”
Qin Liu came back to her senses. She glanced at the black coffin in front of her and then followed.

Meanwhile, Liu Haoyu was constantly searching in the bedroom with a flashlight.
The candle in his hand was burning fiercely, which meant that there was something bad present in the room.
Is it the Red Gate?
Or something else?
Liu Haoyu searched the bedroom and soon found a dark shadow.
This shadow was sitting in the corner with its knees hugged to its chest. Liu Haoyu looked closely.
This was Su Luoluo, who had fallen to her death.
She raised her head, her tear-streaked face meeting Liu Haoyu’s gaze. She seemed to have realized that Liu Haoyu could see her.
“I’m sorry… only by doing this can I be freed from hell.”
