Chapter 64 Dark Fog of the River Styx (7-6)

The two of them and the strangely dressed ghosts walked slowly out of the town to the path lined with poplar trees.At first, when people walked on the road in the town, they were chatting and laughing with each other, and the atmosphere was as lively as a festival, but as they walked farther and farther along the small road, the red lanterns in their hands faded and became bleak, and the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded away. Disappeared, and every face became pained, desperate, angry.Su Ruo looked around, the skin on each face was no longer as bright as life, and began to turn black and peel off, revealing gray-white bones.

"Don't worry so much," Ji Yaoxin whispered in Su Ruo's ear, her voice mixed with the sound of rain, "Don't look to the side, and don't be afraid."

Su Ruo felt very cold, as if surrounded by dozens of mobile air conditioners. Ji Yaoxin held her hand tightly, and her palms were sweating a little.

The ghosts followed the path all the way to the river.The fog seemed to be thicker, and the sky was very dark, so Su Ruo could only hear the sound of rain falling on the reeds and the sound of the river.Perhaps because he couldn't see and his hearing became sharper, Su Ruo felt that the water flow became much stronger.Is there going to be a flood because it's raining non-stop?

They stood still on the river bank, facing the direction of the river, the skin and flesh on their faces had been peeled off, leaving only empty black eye sockets facing the endless night, as if they were waiting for something.Su Ruo kept trembling, and Ji Yaoxin gently hugged her shoulders.

Suddenly, the gray mist, like some kind of poisonous insect, seemed to have life, and suddenly dispersed from the river surface. A full moon hung in the air, and the cold moonlight poured down. Su Ruo widened her eyes in shock. She saw The shadow cast by the moon on the river was torn apart and distorted by the water waves, as if it were a human figure.The water flow gradually slowed down to the point of stopping, and the moon shone on the pale fine sand at the bottom of the river. Some black debris was scattered on it, and one black piece was particularly huge.

In Su Ruo's impression, there are countless water ghosts hiding in this river, but now that the water has stopped flowing, those water ghosts don't know where they are hiding.She looked sideways at Ji Yaoxin, who was expressionless.

The team began to move forward again, and the fine sand at the bottom of the river was very soft to step on.Su Ruo looked back, and she found that there was only one set of her footprints on the river bed, and those ghosts and Ji Yaoxin walked past without leaving any traces.Even her own footprints, slowly disappearing from the water seeping through the sand.When approaching the center of the river, Su Ruo discovered that the huge black block turned out to be an entrance leading to the ground.

"Hey..." Su Ruo gently tugged on Ji Yaoxin's sleeve.

"What?" Ji Yaoxin stopped and looked at her.

"I'm a little scared...will I be drowned?" Su Ruo whispered.

"No." Ji Yaoxin's tone became extremely gentle, like water vapor on the river bed, "Su Ruo, I won't let you die, rather, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."

"Oh..." Su Ruo wondered if it would be more appropriate to say "thank you" or "I'm so touched".But she didn't say anything anymore, Ji Yaoxin had already walked forward, and she continued to follow.

The two walked forward again, following the souls into the black entrance.

It feels very different from the soft fine sand at the bottom of the river, and a stone ladder is built at the entrance, which leads diagonally downward.The steps are steep, and the first few steps of the stone steps are still wet, and then gradually dry out.The moonlight could not come in, so Su Ruo turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone uneasily. She felt that she would be overwhelmed by claustrophobia at any time in this narrow passage with so many ghosts.

There are not many traces of cutting on the stone walls on both sides of this corridor. It seems to be formed naturally, and it seems that it has been excavated for too long, and there are no traces of man-made.After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Ruo's eyes suddenly opened up. She stepped on the ground and almost fell down. Ji Yaoxin quickly grabbed her and dragged her to hide under the shadow of the stone wall beside her.

It is difficult for Su Ruo to describe what she saw in words. In front of her is a huge underground palace, about a hundred square meters. The surrounding stone walls are irregular in shape, as if formed naturally. There are several torches fixed on each iron frame, and hundreds of torches in total emit green or blue light, making this place look like a nightclub.The entire underground palace is unknowingly high, and there are many rusty chains hanging above it. Below the intersection of those chains, there is a huge alchemy furnace.

Ji Yaoxin signaled Su Ruo to keep quiet, she pulled Su Ruo close to the shadow of a rock wall, and slowly squatted down.They watched the ghosts rush towards the alchemy furnace in the center of the underground palace. The alchemy furnace was about 20 meters away from them.

Su Ruo held his breath.A man emerged from behind the alchemy furnace, who looked very different from these disheveled ghosts.Originally, the light here was not very bright, and the man was far away. Su Ruo could recognize him. It was entirely because of the two huge fluorescent characters on the front of the man's jacket that faintly glowed in the semi-dark underground palace, "mentally retarded".

"It's Mu—" Su Ruo said in a low voice, and Ji Yaoxin covered her mouth.

In fact, Su Ruo has always been curious about a question, that is why there is a fragrance on Ji Yaoxin's body, which is very faint, as faint as the wind around her, or the water vapor passing by her.But now Su Ruo really breathed this fragrance, Ji Yaoxin's hands were cold, but this smell was indeed warm, Su Ruo froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

After the initial restlessness of the ghosts in the underground palace, it suddenly became quiet, that disturbing quietness.Sometimes the iron chains hanging above would shake a little, making a harsh but slight sound.

Mu An walked around the alchemy furnace, then he stood in the center of the underground palace, looked at the ghosts surrounded by silence, and said softly, "I'm getting impatient."

"I know." Another voice said.Su Ruo felt that Ji Yaoxin, who was next to her, moved slightly, as if she was a little uneasy.

Wu De also came out from behind the alchemy furnace and walked to Mu An's side.He doesn't wear glasses, probably because of this reason, Su Ruo always feels that Wu De is a little different from before, probably because now he doesn't have the temperament of a middle school student at all, and his face is very strange because of those blue and green torches, Looks a lot like the final boss.

"We can't drag it on any longer," Mu An walked back and forth a little uneasy, and the word mentally handicapped on his chest dangled, "Ji Yaoxin will find this place sooner or later."

"Ji Yaoxin is not a problem," Wu De said slowly, "I'm just worried about... him."

The word he was said with a lot of meaning, and because she, he and it sounded the same, Su Ruo didn't know who Wu De was referring to.Who is Wu De worried about?In other words, who do you care about?

"I've waited for many days, and I'm starting to get impatient." Mu An said with a sigh, and sat down where he was.Su Ruo looked around, those gray and black souls were still standing there like a backdrop, no "person" moved, and no "person" showed impatience.

"I've been waiting for many years... no, even hundreds of years." Wu De said, reaching out to caress the alchemy furnace, "every night, the ghosts in the town will come here, and during the day, they will go back again. It has been like this for many years .The people in the small town all died because of the flood, but they still stay here and protect the law for me in the underground palace every night. So this is a safe place, you don’t have to think too much.”

"But what are you waiting for?" Mu An asked.

Although the distance was far away, Su Ruo felt Wu Dewei sigh inaudibly: "I don't know, what am I waiting for..."

After squatting for a while, Su Ruo felt her legs go numb, and her whole body felt chills.She didn't want to hear Mu An and Wu De's inexplicable conversations, and she was afraid that if she relaxed, she would be discovered by Wu De and the others.Ji Yaoxin felt Su Ruo's discomfort, she stretched out her arm and let Su Ruo lean on her arm.

They sat around the alchemy stove, Wu De's face was facing Su Ruo, just under the reflection of the torch.Su Ruo saw that Wu De's face was gloomy, and there were some gray lines on the cheeks and sides of his face, as if they had been applied with tattoo stickers and hadn't been washed off. No wonder she always felt weird about it.

At this moment, a sound similar to a scream came from above the head, shaking the iron chains hanging above the underground palace to rattle, and the underground palace gradually became cold and humid.Wu De looked up and said softly, "The river is closed."

Mu An sat down on the ground next to the alchemy stove, stood up again after a few seconds, and paced back and forth in the underground palace.

"You are in a hurry, what are you waiting for?" Wu De asked.

"Do you have anyone you particularly like?" Mu An asked suddenly, and Wu De was silent for a while.Su Ruo's face twitched, she thought that according to the plot, Mu An should confess to Wu De next?But no, the script wouldn't be written like this, it's too fantasy...

"No." Wu De finally said so.Su Ruo secretly glanced at Ji Yaoxin, who frowned.Probably because Ji Yaoxin is relatively old, it is difficult to accept this form of confession, and appropriate enlightenment may be needed.

"But I have someone I like very much, very much." Mu An's voice became very strange, as if trying to suppress something, so that his tone was trembling, "So... sorry, I need this soul .”

It happened so suddenly that it probably didn't take even a second.Accompanied by the sound of a huge explosion and the sound of metal clashing when the iron chain swayed and oscillated, the wandering soul roared and fled in all directions. Ji Yaoxin hugged Su Ruo's head violently and protected her behind her.Maybe it was because of the humidity, there wasn't much dust from the explosion. After about half a minute, Su Ruo opened her eyes and raised her head. She saw that the alchemy furnace in the center had been overturned on the ground.
