Chapter 44
“I really don’t know. I’m just a door, I really don’t know anything about this.”
Hongmen covered its ears and shook its head repeatedly.
Qin Liu could only scratch her head in response.
She always felt that Hongmen knew something, but the other party just wouldn’t tell her.
Could Liu Haoyu’s current situation really be dangerous?
Qin Liu couldn’t help but worry a little, but her kind nature made her unwilling to interrogate Hongmen, so she could only sigh and say.
“Alright…”
As things stood, besides trusting Liu Haoyu, there seemed to be no other way.
She didn’t even know which part of Panwang Mountain he had gone to, and because Hongyu was in the room, she couldn’t go even if she wanted to.
The young girl left the basement and returned to the bedroom. After shutting down the newly assembled computer, she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to see Liu Haoyu’s situation.
The man appeared to be in a very grim and ancient town. He was hiding in an alley, and through the narrow alley entrance, she saw a massive ox-head staring at Liu Haoyu’s location from outside.
The ox-head tried to catch up to Liu Haoyu, who was hiding in the alley, but it couldn’t enter and could only try to block Liu Haoyu’s path.
Its footsteps made the ground tremble, and the steel fork in its hand flashed with a cold light, its tip entwined with wisps of black aura, sending chills down one’s spine.
Coupled with its height of nearly three meters, the oppressive feeling was terrifyingly strong.
The scene abruptly ended here, and Qin Liu didn’t know what happened next.
But she also knew that Liu Haoyu’s situation should not be good at the moment. The place he went to was definitely not as simple as the Black Book and Hongmen had said.
Moreover, based on the environment she saw in the dream, where had Liu Haoyu gone… could it be the Underworld?
How could a living person go to the Underworld?
Did something happen to him?
Various speculations made Qin Liu more anxious.
In her dream, she suddenly felt her body sinking, and the world in her eyes turned into boundless darkness.
There seemed to be water all around, and the sound of wailing ghosts filled her ears.
They were afraid… and fleeing.
Finally, Qin Liu opened her eyes.
The young girl’s hollow eyes scanned her surroundings, as if confirming where she had arrived.
However, the place was empty and desolate. On the dark river, a small boat was moored, with a man on it trembling with fear and at a loss.
Qin Liu looked at this man and the broken bridge in front of her, and seemed to understand something.
This seemed to be the Nai River, and she seemed to have arrived in the Underworld?
But the problem was, since she had come to the Underworld, where was this so-called Underworld?
As Qin Liu thought, her gaze kept sweeping over the ferryman in front of her.
And because she had not spoken, the latter was already sweating profusely, but he forced a smile and said.
“Officer… oh no, Lord, is there something you need?”
The great name of this guide was known throughout the Underworld, except for those departed souls who had lost all consciousness.
Qin Liu looked at his boat and the Nai River, which stretched as far as the eye could see, and then said.
“Do you know where the Underworld is?”
At the mention of this, the ferryman became even more flustered.
He had only one word in his heart.
Oh no!
Could this guide be going to the Underworld to be a demolition crew again?
Hadn’t they agreed to faithfully fulfill their mission and duties as guides in the Human World?
“L-Lord, why are you going to the Underworld?”
The ferryman forced a smile and said.
“It’s poor and backward there, with nothing. It’s definitely not as comfortable as living in the Human World.”
“I’m looking for someone.”
Qin Liu’s hollow eyes stared at the ferryman, and the faint yellow light from her lantern cast her face in a fierce light.
At least, that was how the ferryman saw it.
“I’m looking for a…”
Qin Liu originally wanted to say Liu Haoyu’s name directly, but remembering that he seemed to be being pursued by ghost messengers, she changed her wording.
“I have something to say to Ox-Head.”
“…”
This time, the ferryman was completely sure of one thing.
This Qin Liu was here to cause trouble in the Underworld again!
“This… this…”
Caught between her own life and the safety of the Underworld, the ferryman was in great conflict.
Finally, he remembered what Bai Wuchang had said.
Only a few dollars a month, why risk her life?
So, without a word, the ferryman immediately pointed to the other side of the river and said.
“My Lord, Youdu, which is the Underworld, is on the other side of the river.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Qin Liu naturally shifted her gaze to the ferryman’s small boat.
The latter shivered as he felt Qin Liu’s gaze.
“My Lord… crossing the river is ten… ten thousand…”
“Uh?”
Qin Liu was stunned when she heard that the toll was one hundred thousand.
Were the prices in the Underworld a bit questionable?
Seeing Qin Liu’s gloomy expression, the ferryman quickly changed his tune and said with a fawning smile.
“Haha… I misspoke, I misspoke, it’s ten yuan…”
“I have no money.”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the ferryman’s forehead began to sweat profusely.
“It’s free, it’s free. How dare I charge you, My Lord?”
Saying this, the ferryman made way for her, and Qin Liu got into the small boat.
Then, the boat slowly sailed towards the opposite bank.
Although the river looked very wide, for some reason, after getting on the boat, Qin Liu successfully reached the other side in less than three minutes.
The moment Qin Liu got off the boat, the ferryman’s small boat turned around and fled as if it were a speedboat.
The speed was so fast that the waves splashed by the stern were over two meters high.
Qin Liu was dumbfounded.
“It’s not that serious, is it?”
The young girl with hollow eyes seemed a little puzzled as to why the other party was running so fast.
However, compared to these trifles, she needed to get to Youdu quickly now, perhaps Liu Haoyu was somewhere here.
She had a vague memory of Youdu, so she didn’t find the “three-goods living person management center, with a physical body, a lifespan, and good karma” too strange.
A small ghost stood in front of the entrance of the three-goods living person management center. Upon seeing Qin Liu, it repeatedly drove her away and said.
“How come there are still living people entering the Underworld these days…”
As it spoke, the small ghost tried to grab Qin Liu, but as it approached, a cold and chilling aura entered its lungs.
Fear and despair instantly occupied its brain.
The small ghost raised its head tremblingly and with difficulty. Its extremely dilated pupils saw a young girl with a numb expression and vacant eyes.
In the young girl’s hand was a lantern emitting a faint green light. Under the illumination of the green light, the young girl’s delicate face became extremely eerie.
And Qin Liu was worried that she might scare the other party, so for the sake of her image, she showed a faint smile on her emotionless face.
Seeing the “bloodthirsty” smile on this familiar monster’s face, the small ghost stiffened for three full seconds before instantly letting out a piercing scream.
“There’s a ghost!!!”
