Resurrected

There was darkness behind him, so quiet that he could hear the sound of his own blood flowing.

Chen Lin stretched out his hand to cover his right chest, and could feel his beating heart beating.That slight pulsation was especially noticeable in the dark.

This is the sound of the heart beating, the sound of blood flowing through the blood vessels, it is the proof of being alive, but why...

"Don't think too much, you are indeed dead."

A voice suddenly came from the darkness behind him.

"At least in the eyes of those outside, you are dead."

Chen Lin hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a dazzling light, and couldn't help but cover his eyes.It wasn't until his eyes got used to the slightly glaring firelight in the darkness that he could see who was coming.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in black. He was pale and walked erratically. If it wasn't for the shadows under his feet illuminated by the lights, Chen Lin would have thought it was a ghost.

The middle-aged man held an old lantern in his hand, as if he had walked out of a painting in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the surrounding darkness that seems to be swallowing people, this lantern is the only light source, and the shining light is only enough to illuminate the surrounding area of ​​one meter.It was just enough for Chen Lin to see his face, and it was enough for the other party to see Chen Lin's expression at this time.

Surprised, confused, worried.

The man laughed ferociously.

"What are you afraid of, the guys who just arrived are just like you." The lantern shook slightly because of his laughter, the lights flickered, and the shadows on the ground also swayed left and right.

"They are all as scared as you are. They don't know what to expect and what to face. But, after you get used to it, you will understand—this is the world that really belongs to us 'dead'."

Chen Lin looked at him silently, with the light of the lantern reflected in his black eyes.

Finally, the middle-aged man introduced himself:

"I'm Lao Liu, and I'm in charge of picking up your soul-inviter."

"Old Liu, where are you taking me?" Chen Lin blinked, feeling that he seemed to be slightly able to adapt to the weird atmosphere around him. "Do you want to take me to hell, or Huangquan?"

"Hehehe, Huangquan, the underworld, is a place where only the dead can go to rest." Old Liu replied, "And us 'dead people' naturally have another place to go."

"Come with me."

As soon as Lao Liu turned around, he took away the only light source. In order not to continue to fall into the darkness, Chen Lin could only choose to follow him.

"Where are we going?"

"What are you going to do there?"

"Am I really dead?"

To these barrage of questions, Lao Liu only answered with one sentence: "You will know when you arrive."

"Then I just ask one question, is it true that I can no longer see my parents from now on?"

After Chen Lin asked this sentence, Old Liu who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around slowly.Chen Lin could see the icy fire reflected in his eyes.

"If you still want your family to live in peace, don't go to see them again, remember."

Old Liu turned around and muttered. "The newcomer just knows how to ask questions."

Chen Lin closed his mouth knowingly, he didn't know how his questions just annoyed Lao Liu.But he knew that if he didn't want the situation to get worse, he'd better keep his mouth shut.What he will go to is another world he has never heard of, a world that is very strange to him and needs someone to lead him.

At this juncture, it's better not to piss off Lao Liu.

Maybe it's because "dead people" don't like to talk any more, so Old Liu didn't make any noise along the way.It's just that when going down the stairs, when Chen Lin stepped on the air because he couldn't see, he gloated and laughed twice.

Since then, it has been silent.

Down, down.

Chen Lin only knew that they were walking downwards, but he didn't know how long or how far they walked.I'm afraid it's already hundreds of meters away from the ground.He looked up at the top of his head, and as expected, he saw nothing but darkness.

The only light source in sight was in Lao Liu's hands.

As he walked deeper, a gust of cold hit his face, and Chen Lin couldn't help rubbing his arms with his hands.This chill is not only from the body, but also from the spirit. Facing the unknown world, human beings will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, and Chen Lin is of course no exception.

The world of the dead awaits him just ahead.

"Here we are." Old Liu didn't stop until his heels were numb with pain, and said something lightly.

Cold, dark, numb to pain.

Standing behind him, Chen Lin thought, the current self is really no different from a dead person.

"Keep your eyes open." Old Liu pushed the door open, "This is our world."

The tangible door was pushed open by Lao Liu, and at the same time, there seemed to be an invisible door in Chen Lin's heart that was also opened at this moment.

A faint light emerged from the crack of the door, and then, what greeted the eyes was a world completely different from the world on the ground.

It was an endless space, and in the middle of the space was an astonishingly huge pillar that went straight from the endless underground to the surface.Surrounding this giant column are countless floors and corridors, and each corridor is connected to countless small rooms, so densely packed that you can't see the end at a glance.

This underground world, like an ant's nest, has a completely different magnificence and shock.

Chen Lin and Lao Liu are now at the exit of a certain layer of this behemoth. Compared with the whole underground world, they are like a grain of dust and a desert.Tiny, insignificant.

"Here...is the Underworld?" Chen Lin asked in a daze, "Is this the world of the dead?"

"I don't know if it's the underworld." Old Liu showed a weird smile, "But once you get here, it's more difficult for you to go back to the top than it is for evil spirits to break free from the ground."

"Come in, newcomer."

Following Lao Liu into this underground world, Chen Lin still couldn't get his mind back.

Within a few days, he inexplicably "died" and was taken away from the normal world to such a ghostly place.For some reason, for some reason, what was waiting for him next? First, Old Liu took Chen Lin to register.Seeing his name added to the list of residents of the dead world, Chen Lin felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Lao Liu handed him a card, "This is the only proof you have here, you can live, work, sleep, you can't live without it."

"You're all ghosts and you still have to eat, sleep and work?"

"People have their own way, ghosts have their own way, of course each has its own rules."

After the registration, Lao Liu took him to a room.

"This is your room. No roommates have been arranged yet." Using Chen Lin's card to open the door, there was only one bed and a set of tables and chairs in the room.

However, this kind of living conditions is much better than Chen Lin imagined. What surprised him was that a magnetic card was required to open the door. High technology is everywhere in this post-death world.

"Get used to it for a day today, and gather in the lobby on this floor tomorrow, and I will arrange your specific affairs." Before leaving, Lao Liu said again: "Don't think about death, I mean death in the real sense. You will only die when you die. Drag your family down, no one will sympathize with you."

"No." Chen Lin sat on the bed, touched the bed and said to him, "I'm already a dead person, why do I have to seek death and life?"

"...You kid, you adapt pretty quickly." Old Liu was choked by him, "Many people made a fuss when they first came here."

Seeing that Chen Lin was concentrating on looking at the room and ignoring himself, he muttered uninterestedly: "Strange boy." Then he walked out the door.

With a snap, the door was shut.Chen Lin was the only one left in the house.

He withdrew his hand, no longer looked around, no longer pretended to visit curiously.Instead, she sat on the bed, looked at her hands with her dark eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Three days ago, he was threatened and taken away by unknown persons.

was declared dead.

Witness your own funeral.

Be transported to this strange and bizarre underworld.

Everything came suddenly like a storm, without giving anyone a chance to react.When he recovered, he was already sitting in this room, on this bed.

Chen Lin knew that he had always been very nervous, but he never thought that one day he would encounter such a "sudden death".

At the funeral, the tears of my mother crying when she fell down.

The cold words of the mysterious man, and Lao Liu's warning.He was repeatedly reminded of the fact that——

"I am already dead?"

In the dark room, Chen Lin stared at his hand and asked nervously over and over again.

No one answered him.
