The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

Ji Chen took Jiang Zhixia all the way to the center of the island. There is an extremely beautiful and magnificent building here, like a palace.

There are 81 small halls and more than 300 rooms inside. Each floor tile is inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting, not to mention how luxurious the decoration of the rooms is.

This place is covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, the fragrance is fragrant, and there are rockeries, pavilions, ponds, and corridors that complement each other. It really looks like the "Taoyuan Township" that the world calls it.

Ji Chen revealed his identity and entered through the gate.

Jiang Zhixia heard strange sounds in the flowers not far away. She looked around and saw two naked figures intertwined. Ji Chen covered her eyes with his hands and quickly led her away.

"This kind of thing is very common here." He said as he walked. Jiang Zhixia took off his hand and said in surprise: "But that's the main entrance, there are so many people coming and going..."

"The people here have no etiquette, justice or shame." He has been here for a few days and has become accustomed to it. "They are no different from animals now."

They walked eastward and stood outside a large hall without entering. From the door, Jiang Zhixia saw a stage set up in the middle of the hall, on which two women were performing an unsightly "show".

The people in the audience were either beating drums to cheer up, applauding and drinking; some were drunk and dreaming, making fun of promiscuity.

"Such shows are constantly being performed here." Ji Chen boldly picked her chin with his hand, making her look back at him. "The performers are also of different genders. Sometimes they are men and men, and sometimes they are men. It’s men and women.”

"Are all those high officials down there?" she asked.

"That's right." When he saw her turning around again, he stretched out his hand to hold her face, "Don't look. I've asked about the people here, and there are people from all countries, and they all have the first rank."

Jiang Zhixia frowned, "How do they know this place?"

"It was the Helian family who took the initiative to invite them." Ji Chen took her to go elsewhere. "The Helian family is responsible for picking them up and providing them with all their needs. And they don't have to pay the Helian family anything, they just need When you go back, just use your rights to do one thing."

"what's up?"

"Open a brothel."

Ji Chen said that there is not much lustful spirit on the island, and the evil spirit that really supports the entire Helian family is the brothels everywhere in the world. The Helian family pleases the powerful among mortals, and then lets them do things for themselves after they return.

"The more places like that there are, the more beneficial it is to the Helian family." He said: "And the imperial court collects a lot of taxes through brothels every year, and these people in power can exploit them. This matter is beneficial to several parties, They are naturally willing to help the demon world.

Therefore, the main reason why the Helian family does not want to go to war is that war will lead to people's livelihood and economic difficulties, and there will be fewer people visiting brothels and prostitutes. The more prosperous the world is, the more benefits they will get. "

Jiang Zhixia was led by him through the side corridor and walked inside, making red-faced sounds all the way. Her heart was filled with boredom, and the evil aura in her body was getting stronger.

"Just because of this, they will help wholeheartedly?" She didn't believe that the eye sockets of these high-ranking people were so shallow.

"Of course not. If you have money and power, the last thing you want is longevity. The Helian family said they would teach them the method of immortality, extend their lifespan, and ensure that they will be prosperous and wealthy in the next life."

"The demon world itself can't survive, so you teach them to live a long life? Do they believe it?"

"I believe it." When Ji Chen saw a drunk person coming, he hugged her to avoid that person, "What the devil can't do, there will be gods to help them do it."

"God..." Jiang Zhixia had just said one word when she heard screaming coming from the palace in front. The man seemed to have been punished and was in great pain.

She took a few steps forward and saw the shocking scene inside through the window. She couldn't help but rush in to save people, but was stopped by Ji Chen.

"Do not impulse!"

"She's going to die!"

"This kind of thing happens all the time. If you save her, you will definitely alert her. You haven't figured out the situation on this island yet. Don't forget what you came here to do."

Jiang Zhixia was dragged away by him and asked in disbelief: "What does it mean to be common? Are many people like this?"

"She is quite lucky." Ji Chen sighed heavily, "They don't treat the people sent to this island as human beings at all. There are many people who are worse off than her."

Ji Chen couldn't continue talking, so he could only take her to watch. He held her wrist tightly, fearing that she couldn't help but rush in. He was just as shocked and uncomfortable as she was when he first arrived, and this place was more like hell.

The men and women sent to the island are just playthings, not even human beings. They were tortured and abused, forced to perform "entertainment shows" that corrupted human relations in front of everyone, and were also used by people in the demon world to transform them into various monsters to satisfy these people's perverted needs.

At first they thought about running away, but they were surrounded by the sea on all sides and couldn't escape. When they heard that their "guests" were high-ranking officials or members of the royal family, they knelt down and begged them to let them go, but what they received was a slap in the face and subsequent beatings.

These people have lost hope, become numb, and have no light in their eyes.

Just when Jiang Zhixia thought these things were over. Ji Chen took her to a small, dim room at the deepest point, where various "dolls" were piled up.

Ji Chen said that these were all people who were screened out because of their "bad appearance". They were given drugs by the demon world and were conscious but unable to move. These "dolls" had their limbs chopped off and their faces were covered with a layer of fake skin. They were then dressed up in different looks and put aside for sale.

They can be taken away. Ji Chen said that these "dolls" can live for up to half a year and are very expensive, and only those royal ministers can afford them.

Jiang Zhixia felt as if something was grabbing her throat, making her unable to breathe. She pushed Ji Chen away and retched several times while holding on to a tree.

How bad can people be? How could they feel so comfortable joining forces with the demon world to oppress others? Is such a mortal worth her efforts?

She was a little confused. The evil energy in her body kept rising, making her internal organs restless. The sounds of massacre in her head made her irritated.

Ji Chen saw that her complexion was not good and her body was getting more and more red, so he immediately took her to a nearby pavilion to rest. He waved away the followers behind him and asked them to wait at a distance. The attendant guessed that he was in a mood, so he bowed and retreated.

Realizing that no one was around, Xie Zezhi emerged from his hairpin, stepped forward to hold her in his arms, and caressed her back, "Don't worry, I'm here... We're not in a hurry... Calm down, I'm still here. …”

He knew what she was thinking and how uncomfortable she was. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Xie Zezhi..." She asked softly in his arms: "Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it." Xie Zezhi said firmly: "Have you forgotten who we came for? It will be solved. There must be a way to solve it."

He coaxed and comforted her in a low voice. He felt her crawling into his arms, looking for support, and he hugged her tighter accordingly.

Ji Chen watched the two embracing each other, feeling a dull pain in his heart. The short time together made him forget that Xie Zezhi existed between them. What made him even more sad was that when she couldn't bear it anymore, she just wanted to find Xie Zezhi.

He was obviously within reach of her...

Jiang Zhixia was silent for a while, forced herself out of her low mood, and began to ask Ji Chen about other things. Xie Zezhi was right, she was here to solve the problem and couldn't stay down for too long.

She raised her head and asked Ji Chen: "Did you just say that those 'dolls' wouldn't survive half a year?"

Ji Chen also calmed down his emotions, nodded and replied: "Yes, it's not just these people. In fact, it is a miracle that the mortals here can live for more than a year. Only the spirits, immortal cultivators or loose immortals can persist longer."

"Then they go back with treasure or spiritual energy..."

"Not everyone can 'go back'. Only with their bodies intact can they leave here." Ji Chen said, "But it's not them who go back, or it's just their bodies that go back. Their souls are still here."

The demon world must completely squeeze out the use value of these people before it is willing to "let them go". These people who were tricked into dying with hatred on the island can also provide resentment to the demon world.

Their souls cannot defeat the devil, so they can only be suppressed under the magic circle, and the resentment they generate is sent to the devil world for cultivation.

Those innocent souls suffered under the magic circle until one day their souls could no longer bear it and dissipated themselves. At the same time, their outer physical body will "die".

"No wonder they didn't have souls when they died." Jiang Zhixia remembered the saying about rotten corpses, "But what supported their bodies to go back. They looked just like ordinary people, and they even had souls in their bodies and could communicate with others. .”

"Because the people in the underworld have tampered with things, they have not crossed out their names in the book of life and death. They have become the 'walking zombies' outside the Six Paths. As long as they are given a breath of immortal energy, they can 'live'.

Those 'people' whose memories have been erased are responsible for describing how good this place is to people outside, in order to trick more people into coming in.

Those who could not return were declared missing by the authorities. These people had been away from home for ten or twenty years, and not many people remembered them. Besides, there were still higher-ups suppressing their disappearance, so their disappearance would not cause any splash at all. "

"Immortal energy...the underworld..." Jiang Zhixia's thoughts were confused.

The next moment, Xie Zezhi felt someone approaching and immediately returned to the hairpin. When Ji Chen heard the conversation, he put his arm around Jiang Zhixia's waist and pressed her against the wooden pillar in the pavilion, pretending to be intimate.
