The Tale of the Kraken

926 The Underworld
"Hmm, you junior are quite good at talking. Go and make me chicken soup. I haven't even eaten breakfast. Go and get it for me. Your chest is sticking to your back." shaking.

"I said, at least you turned into a human form. You are like this. Even if I serve you chicken soup, you can't drink it? Maybe your little white cloud is dyed with chicken soup. I can't call you little white cloud in a while. You should be called You little chicken soup, hahahaha."

"Hehe, it's fun, right? I don't have time to play with you. If you don't make me chicken soup, I'll leave right now." I want to drink chicken soup.

"No price, I'm just a suggestion. I suggest that you transform into a human form. Of course, you can do whatever you like." Yang Yang changed the address from "you" to "you" unconsciously.

"It seems that you are quite sincere, so I will listen to you once, just wait, it will be done in no time." The cloud suddenly fell to the ground and turned into a large cloud, the cloud dispersed, and a person came out.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the human form would be suave and majestic! My name is Yang Yang, I don't know how to call you. I don't know how to call you." Yang Yang wanted to shake hands with the man who crossed the river, but he was in vain.

"Oh, why is it an empty bowl? I didn't look carefully just now, go and get me a bowl." The man crossing the river ignored Yang Yang, walked directly to the empty bowl, picked it up, and was surprised.

"Xue'er, it seems that he is really greedy, why don't you get him a bowl?" Yang Yang withdrew the extremely awkward handshake, and asked Michelle for help.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and have a look." Michelle went out with a bowl.

"Hey, are you too rude? How can you ignore me when I shake hands with you?"

"Hey, don't I have a name? Why are you so rude?"

"Hehe, I asked you. You didn't say yes?" Yang Yang really had a big head.

"Oh, well, you know that I am a river crosser, but I always bring a 'man', which lowers my status. I have mana, I am a god, how can I compare with people?"

"Then your name?"

"Just ask me to cross the river!" Duhe didn't speak directly to Yang Yang, but looked around in the room.

"Crossing the river, what are you looking for? I found that you haven't been quiet since you came here."

"Is there? I don't have it, right?" Duhe said, still poking around.

"Look, isn't that right?" Yang Yang deliberately moved the standing mirror over so that Duhe could see himself in the mirror.

"Oh, what is this? It's ugly."

"Yeah, it's ugly, is this you?"

"Hey, I said, why do I feel different from you? That's right, I've been drinking for a long time, and I've developed a habit of looking around at the water. You will do the same in the future."

"It's a good habit! Let me tell you, I won't go to your river in my life, and I can't develop the 'good habit' of looking around."

"You can't be so absolute, you will always go, don't you want to go to the underworld? Don't you want to get back your remaining memories? You are Qilin Lord, you have multiple identities! I beg me here, you I don’t believe you if you don’t go?”

"You said we have to cross this river to get to the underworld."

"This..., is the chicken soup ready? Why are you talking so slowly? My voice is hoarse. At least moisten my throat."

"Okay, okay, I'll go to remind you." Yang Yang sat down on the sofa in the room of the guide Duhe, and poured a glass of water for Duhe. Yang Yang's room rested, and the negotiation was correct. The space was large, with a bed and a room. Sofa and work area. "Drink some water first, the chicken soup will be here soon."

"Xue'er, what's going on? Why isn't the chicken soup ready yet?" Yang Yang ran to the kitchen, where Xue'er was still busy.

"Brother Yang Yang, there was quite a lot of chicken soup stewed just now, but it was finished by Chacha. Two bowls were not enough, so I changed another basin. Now I can only make it again." Michelle whispered to Yang Yang, lest It was heard across the river.

"What? It's gone? What do you think, now that the chicken soup is out of order, your affairs are in jeopardy." Duhe actually followed Yang Yang into the kitchen.

"Senior Duhe, don't panic. Although the chicken soup is gone now, I can make it again! I see that you also like chicken soup very much. Wouldn't it be a pity if you left like this?"

"Yeah. I like to hear that, so I'll wait a little longer. When your chicken soup is ready, serve it right away! You can't steal it in the kitchen." Duhe happily returned to Yang Yang's room.

"Anyway, I'm idle, so why don't I tell you about the underworld!" Yang Yang was also surprised that Duhe sat on the sofa by himself and took the initiative to tell him about the underworld.

"Ahem, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to drink chicken soup?" Yang Yang tried a little.

"Oh, the chicken is already in the pot. Am I afraid that it will fly away?" Du He continued after taking a sip of water. "Well, the water is not bad. It's been a long time since I drank such pure water."

"It's just plain water, just boil the water."

"Hey, young man, you don't know something. You can't drink this kind of water in the underworld."

"Then what if we're thirsty?"

"When you're thirsty, just grab two mummified corpses. If there's still some water left, you'll chew them raw. If there's no water, hehe, then you'll throw him away."

"So scary?"

"What's scary? I'm used to everything in the underworld."

"Aren't you a river crosser?" Yang Yang thought of the river. "Why don't you want to drink the water in the river?"

"Hahahaha, the river crosser! Yes, I am the river crosser, but what we cross is not the kind of river with water at all. The passage leading to the underworld is like a black hole, flowing continuously. We call it a 'river' ’, and the responsibility of our river crossers is to protect those who cross the river from accidents, and to prevent these people from destroying the black hole.”

"So that's the way it is. So it's just a barrier-like channel, rather than you taking a boat to send us there."

"Joke, do you think you're going to visit mountains and rivers? You can also row a boat. You can't go to that place even if you take a cruise ship."

"Then are we in any danger?"

"Naturally, there are dangers. Traveling from a different level to the underworld will bring different levels of danger. This is also the requirement of the star soul who built this passage."

"Star Soul? You said that Star Soul had large-scale activities in the early days to build a passage to the underworld?"

"Yes, I can tell you now that the underworld has existed for a long time, but generally very few races of any level other than star souls have reached the underworld, because on the one hand, there are still many worlds to explore, and there is no need to go to the underworld; On the other hand, the underworld has a scary side. If there are no people who cross the river to lead it in, almost no one will come out.

"So serious?"

"Yes, first of all, in the passage of the underworld, if it is not operated properly, the passage is likely to be like a meat grinder, crushing everything that goes in, including the people crossing the river."

"Other people who cross the river, besides you?"

"Yes, there are many river crossers besides me, so it's nothing to be smashed into a few river crossers in the black hole."

"You are also considered life, how can you do such a dangerous thing?"

"Maybe this is the arrangement of fate! Everything has a definite number, who does what, has a definite arrangement, just like cattle eat grass and wolves eat meat, can you let wolves eat grass?"

Yang Yang shook his head.

"Are you telling wolves not to eat meat?"

Yang Yang shook his head again.

"That's right. Things are similar to what you understand. We are the same. If we are not allowed to do this, then we seem to have nothing to do."

"It's really hard work for you." Yang Yang suddenly respected the people who crossed the river, "I want to say thank you for all the races that have set foot on this road."

"No, no, we are quite relaxed now. There are very few times when there is real danger. Unlike our predecessors, you must know that this passage is Houtu who used his body to open the passage between the human world and the underworld. Other star souls think The sacrifice of the thick soil is worth it, the channel is opened, and the communication between the two worlds is more convenient."

"In addition, after Houtu sacrificed himself to build such a passage, the other star souls also learned that he built the passage, right?"

"It's not entirely true. The star souls did do it, but they didn't sacrifice, but used other methods. Otherwise, there would be no star souls in the world."

"Here comes the chicken soup, come here." Michelle walked in excitedly carrying the chicken soup.

"Duhe, the chicken soup is ready, you can drink the chicken soup first!" Yang Yang felt that seeing the chicken soup was like seeing hope.

"No, we can set off now." For the chicken soup that Michelle brought in, Duhe was not overly happy, but informed Yang Yang that they could set off.

"What? Didn't you always drink chicken soup?"

"Although the chicken soup is delicious, you have to pick a time. You summoned me with Pentecost coins, and I accepted the task. I must continue to make it. As for the chicken soup, it is just a test of your sincerity."

"How's the result of the test?" Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He was testing himself. Although he hadn't answered yet, Yang Yang already had a plan in his mind. Obviously, they passed.

"It's okay, there is a question you didn't answer me."

"You mean...?"

"Yes, that's the question, can you answer me now?"

"It's very simple, because I've been reincarnated! It's Yang Yang now. I'm only 24 years old this year, and I'm still young. I slowly discovered from my memory that I was so extraordinary, but I prefer to be a human race. Have your own happiness." Yang Yang glanced at Michelle.

"In addition," Yang Yang thought for a while and continued, "I chose to forget my previous memories. Now, my memories are placed everywhere, and the underworld may be my last part of memory."

"Brother Yang Yang, come on, you can do it." Michelle knew Yang Yang was talking, and he was very happy to meet Michelle.

"It seems that there is a story between you! Bless you." Duhe is not an ignorant crosser, and it is obvious that the relationship between Yang Yang and this girl is unusual.

"Thank you, we have gone through many hardships together, so we also have deep feelings."

"You really are very lucky, this is your second love affair!" There was something in Duhe's words.

"The first...? The second relationship?" Michelle was stunned. In other words, Yang Yang had already had a relationship with a woman before he knew himself.

"Cross the river, don't wrong people! How can I have another relationship, I only have Xue'er."

"Don't be nervous, I just heard about it. After all, Mr. Qilin's name is very famous, but about your first relationship, it may be related to the memory you haven't found. Maybe you have found all the memories, and you will know." .”
