Chapter 452 Cautiously

Ever since the great fog enveloped this mountainous area, everything here had changed. It could even be said that even the grim reapers had to be cautious here.

For details, you can refer to Zhou Ze and Lawyer An,

who had become extraordinarily low-key.

But even in this kind of environment, there was actually a grim reaper here trying to boost his "performance."

Watching the family who had hanged themselves in this house walk out the door and gather on the street, Zhou Ze thought for a moment and suggested:

"Shall we go out and take a look?"

"Sounds good."

Lawyer An nodded, deeply agreeing.

He also wanted to see which unit this colleague was from, to have such a presence.

However, it wasn't appropriate to just rush out like this.

Lawyer An found a rope in the kitchen, cut it into two pieces, tied one around his neck, and handed the other to Zhou Ze.

"We have my specially made aura-hiding cards in our pockets. If we deliberately leak some ghost aura, we shouldn't be discovered."

Zhou Ze reached out and tugged at the rope around Lawyer An's neck, saying:

"But their ropes are pointing upwards."

Indeed,

those villagers had all died by hanging. Even after being freed from the hanging state, the upper ends of the ropes around their necks were still sticking up high, as if they were still hanging.

"That's easy."

Lawyer An found two small tree branches from the kitchen again, wrapped them with rope, and inserted them into the back of his collar, making it look like the rope was standing up.

"Is this okay?" Lawyer An said with a smile.

"You're really smart and quick-witted."

And so,

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An walked out with firewood sticks sticking out of their necks, and after joining the crowd of villagers, they both deliberately emitted some death energy.

They were already "ghosts" to begin with,

so, at this time, it wasn't really pretending,

but more like a genuine expression.

This village only had a few hundred people, which didn't seem like much, but when everyone gathered together to form a line, it was still quite a sight.

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An cut into the middle of the line,

and then there was another crack of a whip,

and the line began to move forward silently.

Everyone was muddled and listless,

taking one step at a time.

This feeling made Zhou Ze feel a little dazed,

as if he wasn't in the human world,

but on the road to the Yellow Springs in Hell.

Because everything was so similar.

Lawyer An kept looking around, observing something, but the way he looked, with his pale face, really looked the part.

Zhou Ze was even thinking,

if the production crew needed to hire a professional corpse actor,

choosing him would be the most suitable,

no need for makeup,

perfect integration.

And so, everyone walked out of the village.

Zhou Ze saw the guy with the whip at the very front of the line, wearing a black suit, like a corpse driver.

Because the other party wasn't walking backwards, the two of them wouldn't be exposed for the time being, but they also lost the opportunity to observe their colleague.

On both sides of the fog, hands kept waving out, as if there were evil ghosts baring their fangs and claws, but because of the restraint of the whip, they voluntarily made way, not daring to offend.

The whip cracked from time to time,

the slogans were shouted from time to time,

and the team moved forward steadily.

This didn't feel like driving corpses, but more like driving ^(*￣(oo)￣)^.

After walking for a while,

Zhou Ze felt his feet were a little sore,

but Lawyer An was still at the peak of his acting skills,

perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment.

"Hey, it's not a solution to just follow along stupidly like this."

Zhou Ze said.

Lawyer An didn't speak.

"Hey?"

Zhou Ze shouted again.

Lawyer An still didn't speak.

Zhou Ze reached out and poked Lawyer An gently, and found that Lawyer An's body tilted and almost fell down.

Greatly shocked, Zhou Ze immediately reached out to help Lawyer An up, otherwise he would be exposed.

Lawyer An was still walking forward mechanically,

Zhou Ze reached out and pinched Lawyer An's waist,

Lawyer An's eyes widened,

and he gasped.

"Are you asleep?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Ah, uh."

Lawyer An twisted his neck and continued walking forward.

"Does meditation have this kind of effect?"

"Ah, uh."

So, I'm here pretending and walking forward, and you're sleeping?

Who is the boss here?

"The ability of meditation is very mysterious. Someone like you who has a maid to hug and sleep with, of course, wouldn't understand."

Lawyer An said sourly.

The two of them chatted, and before they knew it, the team stopped.

"Stopped?"

Lawyer An carefully poked his head out to look.

"There seems to be a memorial archway in front."

Zhou Ze also stretched his head forward to look,

Indeed,

there was a memorial archway in front,

half of the archway was black and half was white,

standing in the mountain road, not very high, about the size of an ordinary rural family's gate, but a simple and ancient aura was revealed.

"Isn't this the Gate of Hell?" Zhou Ze asked.

Lawyer An had much more experience in this area than him. Zhou Ze hadn't even entered the central part of Hell.

Lawyer An was a proper member of the system.

"The Gate of Hell key in the hands of the grim reapers is actually just a guide, more like a teleportation formation. The real Gate of Hell, I dare to guarantee, even the judges can't grasp it.

Even the legendary Ten Kings of Hell, and even the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, can't grasp it."

The Gate of Hell was more like an expression in an abstract sense.

Legend has it that it ran through the human world and the underworld, and was a bridge connecting the two boundaries. How could this kind of "thing" that could determine the two planes be controlled by human power?

If anyone mastered it, it wouldn't just be as simple as mastering the entrance and exit,

plus its practical significance and influence,

it would be equivalent to truly mastering the boundary between life and death!

"Then what is this thing?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I don't know, if I knew, would I be trapped by this fog?"

"You're so useless."

"............" Lawyer An.

Didn't you just say that I was smart and quick-witted?

The colleague in black put down his whip and knelt down directly in front of the black and white archway, as if he was chanting something loudly.

"What is he chanting? It seems to be a dialect." Zhou Ze asked.

"I don't know. The accent of grim reapers is generally based on the place where they lived before they died. It's only in recent years that Mandarin has become popular in the yang world, but it will take some time to truly affect the underworld.

After all, the people who can speak fluent Mandarin haven't reached the age of seventy or eighty and are about to die, they are still quite young."

After the chanting ended,

the black and white archway began to shake,

and then,

a light curtain similar to the Tai Chi diagram was generated below the archway.

The grim reaper in black stood up again, picked up the whip, and whipped it hard at the sky, shouting:

"Let's get on the road!"

In an instant,

the team began to move forward,

the people in front had already walked into the archway,

and disappeared directly,

and the people behind continued to follow.

The whole scene looked extremely strange.

It was like everyone was lining up to bungee jump, and there were no safety measures at all.

It was also a bit like lining up to be shot, in short, there was no defense at all.

Perhaps,

this sense of crisis,

came from the unknown.

These dead villagers were fine,

they were just unconscious existences, basically controlled by the whip, but Zhou Ze and Lawyer An were not.

What was behind the archway,

and whether they could come out after entering?

Everything was unknown.

And so,

the two who were originally in the middle of the team,

began to promote the spirit of "respecting the old and loving the young, ladies first",

you go first,

please go first,

you come you come,

I'm not in a hurry.

The two began to retreat constantly,

and in the end,

they had retreated to the very end of the team.

In this situation, it was impossible to promote their style any further.

There were soon only two paths left in front of them.

One path was to close your eyes and walk forward,

since a new storm has appeared, how can we stop moving forward?

The other path was to tear off the pretense and start fighting!

People with life and work experience understand a truth,

that is,

employees of the same unit,

are sometimes in a more tense relationship than people from the same hometown shooting each other in the back.

Of course,

with two choices,

they would definitely choose the latter,

the first one was directly rejected.

As two greasy middle-aged men who had experienced the hardships of life,

welcoming the unknown and new challenges was something that young people should do,

Boss Zhou and Lawyer An would never look for that kind of stimulation.

The basic quality of the masses who eat melons is that I am only responsible for eating melons,

and will never play!

Just when there were only a dozen people left in front, and Boss Zhou and Lawyer An were ready to take the lead and subdue the guy in the black uniform with the whip,

nine blue shadows suddenly rushed out of the fog.

It was the nine women's souls,

with extremely strong resentment!

Zhou Ze had encountered two before, and there were seven more in the house, which added up to nine.

The man holding the whip turned around abruptly,

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An immediately looked at him,

Well,

they still couldn't see his face clearly,

because he was wearing a black mask.

"You, you have to go in too, hurry up!!!"

"Pa!"

The whip was waved again.

A painful struggle appeared on the faces of the nine souls,

they had been forced to be trafficked here when they were alive,

and now they were being forced by the whip to enter other places,

this kind of resistance imprinted in the depths of their souls made them not so obedient.

In addition, they were the culprits who caused the "utter devastation" of this village,

and ferocious ghosts who had committed so many murders and had so many lives on their hands were different, compared to ordinary ferocious ghosts, they were like veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield and new recruits who had just joined the army.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

The nine shrill screams converged into one,

and then,

the nine figures rushed towards the man in black,

with the momentum of dying together!

Oh,

is it going to start fighting?

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An looked at each other,

waiting to watch the show.

But the next scene,

made Zhou Ze and Lawyer An widen their eyes,

the man who had just been wielding the whip and was so invincible,

when he saw the nine ferocious ghosts rushing towards him,

actually screamed in horror:

"Mommy!!"

Then,

the whip was thrown on the ground,

he opened his legs,

and began to flee frantically into the fog,

without even looking back,

he ran so decisively,

he ran so neatly,

only leaving a back view that was so unrestrained that it could no longer be more unrestrained to everyone else present…
