Thriller Trainee

Zongjiu felt bad about himself.

His whole body seemed to have been soaked in ice water filled with ice cubes. His already unconscious body felt as if he were in an ice cellar. His lips were so cold that they turned purple, and the coarse linen clothes on his body seemed to be frozen tightly. The knot freezes tightly on the body and penetrates into the bone marrow.

It was so cold, it was obvious that something was wrong.

He is 100% the chosen one, the lucky goose who has an out-of-body experience!

As early as when Po Yin said those words, Zong Jiu had a premonition.

After all, among the many trainees here, he is the only one holding the mole card. Not to mention that his identity as a mole is still a fledgling corpse exorcist, so he is naturally related to such mysterious things as wandering into the underworld. If I have to say it, walking in the yin and chasing corpses are the same people. They both deal with yin things, so it is normal for them to be favored now.

Zong Jiu opened his eyes with sadness.

However, unexpectedly, what you see is not a dark temple or floating in the air or under a dome.

He was still standing on the ground.

It's just that the color of this land is an almost dead gray, and the surrounding area is filled with layers of mist, making it hard to see clearly at first glance.

Zong Jiu was still a little confused at first, but after seeing his milky white body, he suddenly understood.

I bet he was taken to the vagina?

After thinking about this problem, Zong Jiu felt that the dead land, the dark sky like eternal night, the unclear fog and the thick gloom were all understandable.

Going down is a very dangerous thing.

Zhuge secretly said that he would not interfere with the plot of this dungeon, but in fact he still couldn't restrain his hidden talkative nature that occasionally broke out. He took advantage of this afternoon to give Zong Jiu some science knowledge while waiting for time.

People who live in the yin world usually set up a time point, or use other methods to remind themselves that they are from the yin world.

Because after going to the underworld, if you can't find your way back while walking in the yin, or if you forget the incantation when surrounded by yin energy, the person who walked in the yin will stay in the underworld forever and never return to the yang world. .

Without the soul, the body in the world will naturally turn into a corpse.

However, the threshold for being a sinner is higher than that of a corpse hunter. Yin walkers have shown the talent of leaving the body since childhood. Only those with this talent can learn to walk as ghosts. Therefore, Yin walkers often come from a single lineage and are extremely dangerous. It is very likely that they will get a job on the way to work. A one-way ticket to the underworld.

After modern times, this profession, like the corpse exterminator, has basically disappeared. It is only in the horror dungeon that you can see these amazing professions.

After thinking clearly, Zongjiu decided to take a look around first. It would be better if he could find the Yin Po. Otherwise, he would be trapped as a living person in the underworld, and there would be absolutely no good in staying there for a long time.

He walked forward slowly.

As soon as he took a step forward, Zongjiu found himself floating.

Zongjiu: "..."

He finally managed to control his tendency to slide forward, and suddenly felt a dark wind gusting around him.

After taking the first step, the fog disappeared. Instead, there are mountains in the distance, a city decorated with red lanterns, tall towers and black chains rising from the ground, and a blood moon in the night sky.

There were thousands of pale and twisted faces, each looking at the white-haired young man with malicious eyes, full of covetous expressions.

Living souls in the underworld are like fresh meat thrown into a group of sharks. Ghosts can touch it by following the smell.

Seeing the countless ghostly hands reaching towards him, Zongjiu's eyes narrowed. He was about to open the system backpack and take out various pairs of supernatural props, but found... that he couldn't take them out.

[Trainers are in special situations and cannot use physical props]

The white-haired young man was startled.

He reacted quickly, turned around and started running wildly while trying the props he could use.

First of all, Tarot cards don’t work.

Secondly, all the supernatural props that were exchanged before can no longer be used.

The strange black box is even more straightforward. At most, it can only take out some ghost coins.

Zong Jiu cursed secretly and looked at the gloomy faces that were crowding around him. Just as he was about to retreat, his fingers suddenly touched something in his pocket inadvertently.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that it was a corpse exorcist's tool.

The ghost props obtained in the dungeon could not be put into the system backpack in this dungeon, so Zong Jiu kept the soul-destroying bell and talisman in his pocket. Unexpectedly, after turning into a spirit body, these two things could not be put into the system backpack. were brought down together.

"Ring-ring-ring-ring-"

The soul-catching bell is useless to humans and cannot be heard by humans, but when it falls into the ears of ghosts, it is a noisy demonic sound that penetrates the ears and is unbearable.

The ghosts calmed down their expressions one by one, dancing around in the air, and no longer dared to approach the white-haired young man.

Zong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, shook the soul-catching bell, and walked forward slowly.

The only problem is that the Soul Seizing Bell can only be used for ten minutes at most, and the cooling time is half an hour.

He estimated the distance in his mind and planned to rush into the ghost town in the distance first.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a withered hand suddenly gently placed on his left shoulder.

Zongjiu's pupils shrank suddenly and he turned around suddenly.

Yin Po, wearing a thick black robe, was standing behind him holding a lamp.

There is a scarlet fire candle hanging in the lantern, with red fire burning above it, burning slowly. Zongjiu remembered that she said in the temple that if she had not returned until the candle burned out, she would never be able to go back.

Her voice was sharp, even hoarse and ugly than Baigui's.

"Child, why are you here?"

Zong Jiu showed a confused look, "I don't know. After reciting the spell, I appeared here."

"That's all, now that you're here, let's follow me."

In this dark land filled with yin energy, Po Yin obviously didn't want to say anything more and signaled Zong Jiu to follow her directly.

An underworld lamp was dimly lit, pushing away the surrounding black clouds and forest-white arms, opening a path of light among the ghosts.

Only with light can we see how many ghosts and ghosts there are in the underworld.

In the famine years, countless ghosts died of starvation, and tens of thousands of people died on the roadside. Even the ghost messengers from the underworld were not enough. If an ordinary person dies, they can only wander in the upper world for a few months before being led to the lower world. Even so, there are still so many lonely souls and wild ghosts queuing up to register that the underworld can't count them all even if it works overtime.

Zong Jiu followed behind Yin Po, his doubts getting deeper and deeper.

He felt that this incident was really a weird coincidence.

It was agreed that the soul would leave the body, but if no one interfered, how could it somehow follow the ghost walker and go down to the underworld?

It was such a coincidence that he cast suspicious eyes on the very stooped back in front of him.

The NPC Yin Po was initially defined as a helpful NPC. After all, in a dungeon setting, it is impossible to be surrounded by wolves, and there is not a single helpful character.

Since he gave them hints, told them a lot of information, and even provided a temple as a safe haven for the trainees, it was enough to prove Yin Po's identity. Since what she does cannot be faked, the trainees naturally let down a lot of their guard.

Now that he has the mole card, he may become hostile to these helpful characters.

Zong Jiu once suspected that Yin Po was the perfect corpse he was looking for.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Yin Po's soul left her body and try to see if she was the target of his mission. Otherwise, he would not have specifically chosen a location closest to Yin Po.

Zongjiu thought for a long time and decided to stay put.

Now that he is in the underworld, he has to rely on the underworld lantern, and he can't help himself.

It won't be too late to verify this conjecture after the things in the underworld are done.

With this in mind, he and Po Yin walked through the underworld occupied by hundreds of ghosts and walked towards the ghost city in the distance.

As they walked, Zongjiu pretended to be casual and said, "Mother-in-law, where are we going?"

After he asked, he didn't get a response for a long time.

Just when Zongjiu was about to ask the question a second time, the sinister voice finally spoke.

"Find the old woman's soul."

Zongjiu, "Where can I find it?"

"You just follow, why are you asking so much?"

So Zongjiu obediently stopped asking.

He followed the Yin Po, walked through the coldness of the Netherland Wasteland, and walked through the rolling River of Forgetfulness, before arriving in front of the ghost town.

Along the way, countless ghosts were looking at them.

No matter how hungry they were, there was an aura about that lamp that made them fearful, and they didn't dare to take a step closer.

The queue in front of the ghost town is as far as the eye can see.

They openly received the evil looks from the ghosts and jumped in line directly to the front.

Under the black basalt wall, ghost messengers carrying red lanterns were registering at the door one by one.

Zong Jiu raised his eyes and looked inside, and found that the roads in the city were neat and orderly, and the lanterns hanging on both sides were bright red.

There are rows of houses on both sides of the road, and there are even carriages pulled by imps driving on the road. At a glance, they are all densely packed with ghosts.

The underworld, which is the place where people belong after death in traditional Chinese culture, is actually not as scary as people think.

There are rules in the human world, and there are naturally rules in the underworld. Now it happens to be a period of devastation for all life in the world. People don't have enough to eat. They have no chance to have children, so the chance of reincarnation has also dropped sharply.

Without even raising his head, Gui Cha wrote with his hands turned into bones on the rice paper, "One by one, line up, and those who jump in line will receive the whip."

When he dipped in ink to write, he felt that the breath was a bit like a living soul, and then he raised his head.

"It turns out I'm here to look for someone."

The ghost boy waved his hand and asked the ghost boy on the side to take over his work first, and then he said, "Can I take it with me...?"

Yin Po turned sideways, revealing the white-haired young man behind her.

"good."

After seeing Zong Jiu, Gui Cha showed a satisfied look, smoothed his long beard and said, "Come with me."

He took the two of them into the official palace closest to the city gate.

After entering the official residence, Yin Po was welcomed into the front hall, while Gui Chai took Zong Jiu to the back hall alone.

Zong Jiu was not a fool. From this series of changes, he could guess that Po Yin was trying to burn bridges across the river, so he secretly held the Soul-Calling Bell tightly in his sleeves.

Unexpectedly, the ghost messenger took him to the back hall, looked at him with pity, and said bluntly, "Ask him."

Zongjiu couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he followed the original plan and asked about the old woman in Tongbai Village three years ago.

Guizha didn't expect that he was asking this question. He said in surprise, "That person has been in the Immortal Class for a long time. How could he be in our little underworld?"
