Chapter 492: Another Three Ways (Part 2)

Hearing this, Charon, the star of heaven, completely put down his guard and looked at the two of them playfully: "The underworld is a restricted area for living people. You should understand the consequences of staying in the underworld, right?"

Yin Shiqi waved his hands nonchalantly and said: "It's just sinking into hell and becoming one of the endless dead!"

"If we can surrender to Pluto and gain eternal life, then our trip will not be in vain, right?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Charon with envy.

"Another greedy ghost who longs for eternal life!"

Sensing the heat in Yin Shiqi's eyes, Charon shook his head helplessly.

Mortal life is short, so we long for eternal life.

But for him, who has obtained a different kind of immortality, immortality is actually a torture more cruel than death.

He could no longer remember how many times he had gone back and forth on the Santu River and how many years had passed.

Although he has almost endless life and time, he can only go back and forth on these three rivers again and again, without any freedom at all.

Eternal life has become a torture for him.

Then, he calmed down and said to the two of them with a sneer: "Since you two living men insist on seeking death, I will not stop you."

"However, since you are here, you should know my rules."

"If you want to cross the river, whether you are dead or alive, you must pay me the boat fare, otherwise there will be no need to negotiate."

As he said that, Charon had already spread his palm and stretched it out in front of the two of them.

"Of course we understand the rules!"

Yin Shiqi smiled, then grabbed a handful of gold and silver from his pocket and put it in Charon's hand.

Swish swish!

Charon weighed the weight in his hands, frowned and said: "No, you two are living people, you have to pay more!"

"OK, no problem!"

Yin Shiqi nodded, took another part from his pocket and put it into the other person's hand.

According to preliminary estimates, the shipping fee he delivered was more than double the total cost of the three of them last time.

“It’s not enough, add more!”

Charon stared closely at the pocket where Yin Shiqi took out the gold and silver, not hiding his greedy gaze.

Yin Shiqi twitched the corner of his mouth and put his hand into his pocket again.

Fortunately, he knew that this guy was greedy, so he didn't take out all his property at once, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with this guy's repeated blackmails.

"That's all we have? There's nothing more you want!" Yin Shiqi handed the last few gold and silver to the other party and sighed.

However, the greedy Charon turned his attention to the star behind him.

"Where's that kid? Doesn't he have it in his pocket?"

Yin Shiqi shook his head helplessly, then turned around and said: "Xingya, turn your pockets out and show it to this adult!"

"oh!"

Seiya reluctantly responded, then turned out his pockets and trouser pockets.

The result is still empty.

Charon was a little disappointed when he saw it. He had to stuff the gold and silver in his hand into his underworld clothes. He said angrily: "Okay, okay, that's it!"

Then, he turned to the shore again and shouted loudly.

"Are there any of you who want to get on the boat? No? I'm going to set sail!"

The dead looked at the boat? Their eyes were full of longing, but no one paid for it. Instead, they desperately wanted to climb up.

"Humph, a bunch of poor people!"

Charon snorted coldly when he saw it, and then slapped the oar in his hand out.

Boom, boom, boom!

The corpses that had climbed onto the bow and a few corpses hanging on the bow were immediately knocked into the river by him? They flopped feebly on the water for a few times before being dragged down by the hands of bones at the bottom of the water.

"you--"

Xingya was about to get angry when he saw it, but Yin Shiqi stopped him with a stern look.

"Don't meddle in other people's business!" Yin Shiqi secretly reminded him via telepathy.

Seiya replied indignantly: "But those corpses are so pitiful! Isn't it enough that they are blocked on this river bank and cannot pass through? Now, they have been thrown into the Santu River by him, and they will never be able to escape!"

Yin Shiqi replied seriously in his heart: "Don't forget your responsibilities? Now is not the time for you to be willful!"

"Once things get too big and our identity is exposed, it will seriously hinder our mission!"

Hearing this, Seiya had no choice but to suppress his anger and sat on the bow of the boat angrily.

At the same time, seeing that no one was paying to get on the boat, Charon, the star of the sky, gently pushed the oar to the river bank and immediately rowed the entire boat out to the middle of the river.

"There is one thing I am particularly curious about! With your strength, it is not difficult to get some gold and silver. Why do you have to use this boring method?" Yin Shiqi sat on the boat and asked Tianjianxing with a smile.

.

Even if Charon cannot leave the Santu River, as long as he gives an order, he should still be able to force the lowest level warriors to search for the deceased's belongings for him.

Charon shook his head after hearing this, and said while rowing: "What's the point of getting gold and silver money like that? It's not interesting at all!"

"What's more, if all the belongings of the deceased are collected and put into my hands, who will have the money to take the boat?"

After hearing this, Xingya couldn't help but said: "Since everyone has no money, then naturally there is no need to give any more money!"

"Hey Hey hey!"

Charon immediately widened his eyes, knocked on the side of the ship, and said with great displeasure: "You don't want me to do free work for these lonely ghosts, do you?"

"I am the noble extraditer, Lord Charon of the Sky Star, under Lord Hades, Lord of Hades!"

"How can you work for nothing for these humble, lonely ghosts?"

Although he was at the bottom among the One Hundred and Eight Demonic Stars, he was still more noble than ordinary Hades warriors and ghosts, not to mention the group of confused dead on the river bank.

"But isn't it your duty to extradite the dead to the other side of the Santu River?" Seiya said incredulously.

Charon curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Although my duty is to extradite them, it does not mean that I have the responsibility to serve them free of charge!"

"I am Lord Hades's subordinate, the noble extraditer Tianjianxing!"

After hearing this, Xingya wanted to continue to argue, but when he saw Yin Shiqi's stern eyes, he had to swallow his words.

"Sorry, young people don't understand the rules and are a little rude!" Yin Shiqi showed an apologetic smile to Tianjianxing.

At this point, he finally understood.

Charon's greed for money is just an appearance. The other party is not really greedy for money, but uses the desire for money as a motivation to drive himself so that he can repeat the boring tasks on the Santu River day after day, year after year.

Ferry life.

By the way, I also took this opportunity to show my 'noble' status in front of many deceased people.
