Chapter 261 False God, True Ghost
"Did it take you five minutes to figure out a way out?"
After the ghost tide dispersed, Ji Li looked at the three shop assistants who were sweating profusely and had no time to relax, and said softly.
"If this is the fifth branch, I am very disappointed."
In fact, the Wild Ghost Village is the most difficult one among the first few levels.
Because as soon as the shop assistants arrive here, they will not have any time to react, and will immediately encounter the brainless pursuit of the huge ghost tide.
If Du Xiyue did not have the crystal ball sin object to delay time, I am afraid that another team would have been wiped out long ago.
However, Ji Li's words are understandable. After all, under the protection of the crystal ball, they have enough time to analyze why they were attacked.
But they were all blinded by suspicion and sin objects. This is what Ji Li said about the theory of sin object disadvantages.
Admittedly, sin objects can bring many conveniences to the shop assistants, but they will also destroy their ability to think on the spot in an emergency.
Over-reliance on external objects forgets the essence of the task.
Qiu Xue was one of those people who didn't have much ability but was still stubborn. She muttered in a low voice:
"What does our situation have to do with you?"
"Shut up!"
But before Ji Li could speak, Du Xiyue rebuked him coldly.
Now she had completely seen through it. The strongest people in the fifth branch were all in the City of Wrongful Death. I'm afraid they couldn't help with this mission at all.
If the three of them still wanted to go on and exchange coffins in Fengdu City to complete the mission, they could only rely on Ji Li.
Especially after Du Xiyue experienced what happened just now, she felt that the man in front of her was not that simple.
From Ji Li's calm appearance at the beginning, she even suspected that even if Ji Li couldn't guess the way out for a while, he had enough confidence to deal with the ghost tide.
Ji Li just felt that the people in front of him were a little stupid and ridiculous. The three people in front of him each had their own calculations, but they didn't dare to say it clearly.
But these had nothing to do with him. After all, his goal was to use the power of these three people to cross the Naihe Bridge.
As for Chang Nian, Yu Guo and others from the seventh branch, he had no time to wait for the reunion.
Now ten hours had passed since the mission, and it was still in progress. He had a hunch that the most difficult part of this mission was actually on the way back.
He left himself twenty hours to return.
In other words, within eighteen hours, he had to enter Fengdu City to find a replacement coffin. The time was tight and the difficulty was very high.
What made him most uneasy was the Abang Rakshasa in the Hell of Infernal Affairs.
It had been three hours since he escaped from the Hell of Infernal Affairs. The Rakshasa was not a fool, and not everyone deserved to be punished there.
I'm afraid Liu Feng had already been crushed to ashes, and now the Rakshasa should be on the way to hunt down Ji Li.
Facing the Rakshasa with strange power and super strength, Ji Li had no confidence at all and could only move forward as soon as possible.
…
Ji Li and the three people from the fifth branch began to walk together. The further they walked, the more ghosts there were on this Yellow Spring Road.
From the fog on all sides, they gradually walked on the same road, and there was only one road here.
"Behind the Three Lives Stone is the Naihe Bridge. It is rumored that Meng Po is a god from the upper world. She didn't want to see all living beings suffer, so she went to the underworld to erase everyone's memory.
If this is interpreted, this Meng Po is probably a reasonable person. Will this level not be too dangerous?"
Lang Qing, a half-baked guy, started talking nonsense again. At this time, he still had a glimmer of luck in his heart.
But he was immediately poured with a basin of cold water by Du Xiyue: "This is a hotel mission. Do you really think there are gods in the world? All the people with extraordinary powers you have seen are ghosts!"
Ji Li ignored the nonsense of these people. He just felt that the people in the fifth branch were mixed. There were all kinds of people.
For example, this Lang Qing, he really couldn't imagine how this kind of waste survived to this day.
He was still thinking about how to get through Meng Po. You must know that this kind of well-known Yin God has absolutely extraordinary abilities. I'm afraid that Abang Luosha would not be his opponent.
If he really drank the magic potion to cross the bridge, he would be reincarnated and enter the cycle of reincarnation. If he forgot the mission, he would definitely die.
How to cross the Naihe Bridge without drinking the magic potion became his concern along the way.
It was impossible to force his way through, so he had to use his wits.
After a long journey, he finally arrived under a huge rock in the fog.
In the netherworld, this stone shone with silver light, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.
There were two red words on it: "Three Lives."
"Is this the Three Lives Stone?" Lang Qing approached with interest, but did not dare to touch it with his hands.
And none of the other ghosts passing by dared to touch it. They all turned a blind eye and took a detour.
"Let's not bring the legend of China into the mission. You can see from the reactions of those ghosts that this is definitely not a good thing. It's better to do less than more."
Du Xiyue is the person who has the right to speak in this team. Ji Li rarely speaks along the way, and she is the one who speaks.
Lang Qing looked at the miserable, walking ghosts around him, and he also had a question:
"You say, since this underworld is somewhat different from what we imagined, is it real or fake?"
Du and Qiu couldn't answer this question, but they also had similar questions.
This is what Ji Li has been thinking about. Since he started the mission, he has seen countless ghosts and many powerful ghost messengers.
Gradually, he had an idea that was more likely.
"Maybe it's half true and half false."
Qiu Xue couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"
Ji Li looked around, and then said faintly, "The ghosts we saw are real, but the underworld is fake. It's just an empty shell with nothing on the surface."
"What?" The three people in the fifth branch began to think seriously about this sentence.
Others don't understand this conclusion, but Ji Li has been to the most vicious place in the so-called underworld, the hell of hell.
He always felt that the hell of hell looked extremely scary, but in fact, it was illogical for him to escape.
Even with the help of the weird civet cat, it was unreasonable.
If it was the real underworld, as the most terrifying hell, how could there be a possibility for a mortal to escape.
And what he saw along the way, there were many ghosts, but the powerful ghost messengers were not enough.
Moreover, some of the gates of the underworld are quite different from the legends, and the settings are relatively vague, more like a pseudo-underworld created according to a template.
Ji Li boldly guessed that perhaps this Fengshan was not the real Fengdu City.
It was a ghost mountain where evil ghosts gathered. Too many ghosts were buried here, and some of them became powerful beings.
Under the processing of the hotel, or the operation of the most powerful ghost, a half-true and half-false underworld was formed.
It has everything in the underworld, but ordinary ghosts play the role of reincarnated people, and those powerful ghosts play the role of ghost messengers, and even ghost gods.
If this is explained, it is more reasonable. After all, even Ji Li is unwilling to believe that there is really a underworld in this world.
The ghosts he saw were real ghosts, but the gods were false gods, which is in line with the tonality of the hotel's mission!
Thinking of this, Ji Li grabbed the sleeping raccoon cat on his shoulder and held it in his arms. He looked at it and it was still not awake, and walked towards the Naihe Bridge in front of him.
He wanted to see what means Meng Po, the false god, would use to kill him.
