The anchor is dying every day [System]

His father was lying quietly on the altar at the moment, his appearance looked much older than when he left home, and his hair was all gray.On the platform below him, complex runes were painted with unknown paint, which looked like a magic circle and some kind of curse.

As for him himself, he was lying quietly in the center of the platform, his eyes were closed tightly, his skin was blue and gray, and he had been dead for a long time at first sight.

"It's my dad..." Xiao Yuening's face was pale, he looked at Qiao Mengmeng, "What's wrong with him?"

Qiao Mengmeng shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Xiao Yuening had no choice but to turn Xiyi's gaze to Su Yi, hoping that he would answer.

Su Yi didn't know much about these runes, but after carefully observing the figure on the platform for a while, he said quietly: "His soul is suppressed, and the power of these spells is eroding his soul... I guess , this is probably a formation that will make people lose their minds."

Hearing that it was such a vicious formation, Xiao Yuening was startled, and then his face distorted instantly.

He knew very well in his heart that Su Yi's guess was very likely to be correct. Judging from the attitudes of the judges he met before, almost all the core members of Hell's Gate have more or less suffered from the people behind the door. I hate them very much, these guys can definitely do such a vicious thing.

Even this might not be the first time, after all, not long ago, he was still in a gate of time and space, and saw Master Xiao Huang's corpse under the black altar.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to complete the ultimate task by mistake, maybe one day, he would end up in a similar end.

Xiao Yuening rushed to the altar and quickly dragged his father off the altar, but no matter how he called, his father didn't respond at all.

Su Yi came over to check it out, and said, "...your father should have been prepared and took some kind of defensive measures...his soul seems to have fallen into a deep sleep."

Xiao Yuening said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

While Su Yi was thinking about countermeasures, the door of the basement was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a figure appeared at the door of the basement, with a pale lantern in his hand illuminating the dim underground space.

For a moment, all the people and ghosts in the basement all looked towards the visitor in unison.

Xiao Yuening's eyes were flickered by the white light. The light from the lantern was not warm, but made him feel extremely cold.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and only vaguely saw a face half hidden in the darkness, so white that it was almost eerie.

Afterwards, he felt Su Yi and Qiao Mengmeng beside him suddenly tighten their bodies, as if they saw some terrible monster, looking at this strange figure as if they were facing an enemy.

Su Yi's gaze was filled with killing intent for a moment, while Qiao Mengmeng began to tremble slightly.

On the contrary, the ghosts in the room were ignorant. I don't know if it was because they were too slow, but they didn't show any strangeness.

Xiao Yuening felt a little baffled, he didn't feel any threat from this white figure who suddenly appeared, and he didn't understand what Su Yi and Qiao Mengmeng were afraid of.

"You know him?" Xiao Yuening couldn't help holding Su Yi's tight arm, only feeling that his body temperature was colder than usual, almost to the point of frostbite.

Su Yi turned his head to look at Xiao Yuening, his eyes were dark, as if he was forcibly suppressing something, and the expression on his face also showed a kind of restraint, a kind of nostalgia, and a strong emotion that was about to come out... as if it was not homesickness and pain.

He didn't answer.

The thing that makes even the ghost king fear... what could it be?

Xiao Yuening turned his doubtful and vigilant eyes to the door of the basement, and he held the soul-killing knife tightly in his hand.

At this time, the white monster with a lantern was walking down the basement steps slowly. His footsteps obviously did not look light, and even his walking posture was very stiff, but there was no sound of footsteps.

If he hadn't been convinced that his eyes had indeed seen someone walking down, Xiao Yuening would probably have thought that there was nothing on the steps at this moment.

As the strange man in front of him got closer and closer, his face that was hidden under the shadow of the door frame gradually revealed——

It was an extremely weird face, the pale skin was not at all like human skin, but rather stiff.There are noses and eyes on his face, and his facial features are well-proportioned, but it looks like a mask that was deliberately placed on him. It is stiff and inconsistent, making people feel creepy when they look at it.

Xiao Yuening couldn't help taking a breath, and at the same time felt that Su Yi's body became more rigid.

The strange man carrying the lantern...or some kind of ghost, he finally walked down the steps slowly and came in front of Xiao Yuening and the others.

The whole process was still silent, eerily quiet.

Xiao Yuening looked at him more vigilantly.

The weirdo looked at Xiao Yuening, nodded slowly at him, and then slowly opened his mouth.

His voice seemed to be pulled out of an old bellows. It was hoarse and stuffy, and it was inexplicably uncomfortable to hear: "Hello, the last closed doorman, congratulations on completing the ultimate mission."

Xiao Yuening was taken aback, and blurted out: "You know me? You also know about APP?"

The weirdo nodded again: "If the app you're talking about is a system developed by the underworld for cracks in time and space, yes."

Xiao Yuening was stunned: "... Hell? Well, then you are..." He seemed to know the reason why Su Yi and Qiao Mengmeng were nervous.

Stranger: "I'm a errand."

really.

Xiao Yuening glanced at Su Yi who was tense beside him, and said cautiously: "It turns out that there is really a hell... Then you appear now... Could it be because you know that the gate of the beginning has disappeared?" I hope not They came here for Su Yi and Qiao Mengmeng.

Yin Cha directly admitted: "Yes."

Xiao Yuening breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and Su Yi and Qiao Mengmeng beside him also relaxed a little, but they still didn't dare to let go of their defenses.

Xiao Yuening couldn't help but asked again: "Since your underworld knows about the gate of time and space, and developed an app for it, why don't you just close it directly? If you come forward, the gate of hell and the gate of hell will be closed." It's impossible for Zhang Wenliang to be rampant for so long, right? It's even more impossible for so many people to die!"

When he said the last, there was even a trace of anger in his tone.

"When the space-time rift first appeared, we did plan to send people to repair it, but before our people passed by, there were already living people involved in it—" Facing Xiao Yuening's anger, the ghost in front of him was completely indifferent. Responding, he continued in a flat tone, "You probably don't know that the underworld has always had extremely strict rules for the yang world. The underworld must not interfere with the affairs of the yang world. It cannot be violated. When Zhang Wenliang did not completely merge with the time-space rift at first, he was still in the category of strangers. After merging with the time-space rift, he completely escaped from the book of life and death by virtue of the strange power of the time-space rift. The underworld controlled it. Later, more and more living people were involved in it... In this way, we have no right to interfere with their behavior."

Xiao Yuening: "That's why you made an app? Let people from Yangjian perform tasks instead of you?"

"That's right." Yin almost nodded, "If the space-time rift is left unattended, it will only grow bigger and bigger, maybe after a long time, it will completely merge the two worlds... In order to avoid such serious consequences, , The underworld launched the gatekeeper system, hoping to use the hands of Yangjian people to bring everything back to the right track."

"After the system arrives in Yangjian, it will automatically bind the person who is closest to it and has the strongest spiritual power and become the first host. If the host dies, it will automatically identify the people close to the host and choose the person with the strongest mental power from among them. The target is bound again until someone completes the ultimate task."

Xiao Yuening pursed his lips tightly, and said in a deep voice: "But when you bound the host, you never asked those who were forcibly bound by the system their own wishes—you asked them, what is the reason? Are you unwilling to take the place of the underworld to carry out these horrific tasks?... The closed door people who were forcibly selected may have their own happy and happy lives, and they may have their own responsibilities and obligations. Maybe they have young children in their families. Children have to be raised, and there are even seriously ill elderly people to take care of... But in the end, because of your own self-assertion, everything will be destroyed, have you considered this issue?"

At the end of the talk, Xiao Yuening's eye circles were already red. He pointed to the motionless corpse lying on the ground behind him, and roared angrily: "This is my dad! Our family lived well! It's all because of This inexplicable system of yours has caused my family to be ruined! Even after my father died, he would be trapped on this altar by those people, enduring the pain of dying! If it weren’t for you, he would still be fine until now, I Mom won't die either!"

Xiao Yuening carried an indescribable resentment and dissatisfaction on his body. He stared at the evil in front of him, trembling with excitement, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart broke out completely: "Say, you have Have you asked? Have you ever asked us closed doors if our wives and children are separated? Are you willing to take the risk of losing your soul to complete these damn missions?! In my previous mission, I saw a closed door The bones were placed under the altar of the Gate of Time and Space. When I rescued her, she was just a little bit close to disappearing completely! —— You said you want to repair the cracks in time and space, and you also said that you must abide by your rules? It is said that the underworld cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, so it is thrown to us ordinary people in the mortal world... But why? Why don't you even ask a question, and bind whoever you say? There are 60 billion people in the world, and I Can’t believe you can’t find a willing one?? Kill it before completing the task? What did we do wrong again, we deserve to be your pawns to achieve your goals!”

"Our family was living a good life..." After venting all the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, Xiao Yuening's tears finally flowed out uncontrollably. He covered his eyes with his hands, and his whole body was still shaking. They kept saying, "We have never done anything bad, why should we have to bear this kind of price..."

Seeing his appearance, Su Yi's whole heart was gripped. He quickly reached out and pulled his lover into his arms, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't cry, I will be with you..."

After hearing Xiao Yuening's accusation, Yin Cha's always stiff and weird face finally showed some mood swings.

He looked at Xiao Yuening who was held in Su Yi's arms, turned his neck which was also stiff, and said, "Regarding this issue, our local government has indeed issued a corresponding policy. This is also the reason why I came here this time." , one of the points I intend to explain to you."

Xiao Yuening paused for a while, but did not speak.

Yinchai continued: "First of all, I want to explain to you about the possibility that the gatekeeper may lose his soul during the task: Actually, the underworld has already thought of this problem, so when we were developing the system, we specially Deep in its core, a soul collection program is installed - that is to say, the system will automatically enter this soul collection program in the depths of the other party's soul the first time each door-closer is bound by the system. If During the mission, once the gatekeeper is about to lose his soul, the soul collection program hidden in the depths of the other party's soul will automatically start, and the lost soul will be collected again and sent to the underworld."

"In the underworld, there is an artifact handed down from ancient times that can reshape the soul. After the broken soul of the closed doorman is sent over, we will reshape his soul for him as soon as possible and let him be reborn." Speaking of this, Yin Cha's voice paused for a moment, and he asked back, "Otherwise, how do you think the ghost king next to you recovered just now?"
