Chapter 57: The City of Death

The wooden door opened and I took steps out.

I have imagined the scene of the underworld many times before, but I really didn't expect that the so-called underworld seems to be no different from our Yang world!

Outside was a dark alley made of bluestone slabs. There were green lanterns hanging on the walls of the alley. The strange light enveloped me. The black fog was floating slowly in the alley. The street was very quiet and there was no sign of a person.

No, it should be said that I didn't even see a ghost.

I looked back and was surprised to find that the mountain temple that was still behind me just now was gone. It was just an alley, and there was no mountain temple at all.

I shook my head and said intimidatingly that it was strange, and walked out of the alley.

As soon as I walked out of the alley, I heard the sound of brakes and a taxi stopped in front of me.

The car window rolled down and a head was poked out from inside. It was a young man. He shouted at me, "Brother, do you want to take the bus?"

I was surprised that there are taxis in this underworld. Since I come, I will have a good time. I will try it out and see how the taxis in the underworld are different.

I opened the car door and sat in, and found that the interior of the car was no different from that of Yangshi's taxi.

"Brother, where are you going?" the driver asked me.

"Go to the underworld prison!" I said to the driver.

The driver responded and drove the taxi quickly, and the scenery of the underworld was swept through the window.

I turned my head and looked out the window and found that the underworld was not much different. Apart from the dimness, there were also streets and various buildings here. It was a city, not as terrifying as I imagined.

The taxi driver is a chatterbox. He claimed that his surname was Zhou. While driving, he asked me: "Brother, is it the first time I came to the underworld?"

I laughed in silence. Of course, this is my first time in the underworld.

The driver said: "At first glance, you are not alive, because the dead people come to the underworld, they are brought by secret messengers and will be escorted directly to the prison. You can't wander around like you!"

Before I could speak, the driver asked again: "What are you doing in the underworld? On a business trip? Traveling? Or doing business?"

The driver is quite humorous. Is anyone here for a business trip to the underworld? Is anyone else traveling to the underworld?

The driver saw my doubts and called out: "Brother, don't believe it. I have seen many guests, some of whom are on business trips, some are visiting relatives, and some are in groups to visit the underworld to find excitement! Alas, look at the group of people in front, aren't they tourists coming to the underworld to visit?"

I looked up and saw more than a dozen figures appearing on the side of the street. A tour guide holding a flag in the crowd was greeting these figures and boarding a bus parked on the street one after another.

I was secretly surprised and widened my eyes in disbelief. Damn, there is actually someone who is traveling to the underworld?!

The driver said: "The society is developing rapidly now, and many people are getting rich as well. Those rich people have tried everything with food, drinks, fun and everything, and they also want to try something fresh, so more and more people come to the underworld to visit!"

I couldn't help but mutter, "I really don't understand what these rich people are thinking about in their minds. What's fun in the underworld?"

The driver said, "Hey, you don't know. There are so many attractions that can be visited in the underworld, such as Wangxiangtai, Naihe Bridge, Blood River, and Three Lives Stone. These are all famous attractions!"

I smiled, feeling extremely absurd, but I also found it very interesting, so I started talking to the driver.

"Master, you...you don't look old, how did you come to the underworld?" I asked the driver.

The driver lit a cigarette and said, "I have been in the underworld for several years! When I was in the Sun World, I drove racing cars. You know, racing cars, I was a racing driver! At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I thought I was very awesome. I went to the winding highway with people to race, but the car lost control and rolled down the cliff. As a result... I naturally reported to the underworld..."

Speaking of this, the driver smiled mysteriously: "Don't be afraid, show you my true face!"

The driver's true face suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror, his face was covered with blood, broken glass was inserted, his body was as black as coke, and it was still smoking. The sudden terrifying appearance really scared me.

Soon, the driver's appearance returned to normal.

"You...you died a little miserable..." I said with lingering fear.

"That's not it!" The driver said, "The car rolled and fell off the cliff, and the broken glass made my face full of my face. Later, the car body exploded and a raging fire broke out. I was trapped in the deformed car body and was naturally burned to coke!"

After talking nonsense with the taxi driver for a while, the taxi stopped. The driver pointed to the front and said, "Brother, the prison has arrived!"

There is actually a meter on the taxi, but I didn't expect that the underworld would be so standardized.

At this time, even if the ghost coins given to me by Chen Xiucai came in handy, I took out two ghost coins according to the price on the meter and handed them over. The driver happily took them, and then left me a business card: "Call me when I want to go back, and I can provide door-to-door pick-up service!"

After getting off the taxi, I could see the legendary underworld prison at a glance.

This prison is definitely a heavyweight existence in the underworld. It accepts tens of thousands of dead people every year. The scale of the prison is jaw-dropping.

It can be said that in the sun, there is absolutely no prison that can be as vast and magnificent as a prison in the underworld.

Yes, I can only describe this prison as grand.

The entire prison is like a huge ancient city. The architectural style is antique, but it looks solemn and sacred, which makes me feel awe. The prison is a rectangular shape, and is surrounded by towering ancient city walls. The city wall alone is dozens of meters high, solid and magnificent.

With awe, I walked to the prison gate. There was a plaque hanging on the prison gate, with three big words "Warewell Death City" written on it. It turned out that the name of the underworld prison in the underworld was called "Warewell Death City".

At the gate of the city were several sentinels with solemn expressions, with high vigilance and no doubt as they looked like ordinary people, and did not have the same green face and fangs as the legendary ones.

A sentry blocked my way and asked me to show my ID.

I handed the corpse-driven order to the sentry, and at the same time, I hid a gold ingot under the corpse-driven order.

The sentry took the order to drive the corpse, and took the gold ingot without hesitation. His attitude towards me immediately became friendly: "It turned out to be from the corpse zodiac. Why? Come down to do business?"

I smiled: "Visit relatives, visit a relative!"

The sentry greeted me: "Come on, what's the name of the relative you are visiting? Come here to register!"

After the registration was completed, the sentry opened the city gate and let me in. A prison guard came to pick me up. I had just found out that the prison where Mrs. Du was located was in the seventh district.

There are 18 prison areas in the Wudi City, covering a very large area.

Here, there are three steps and five steps, and all are well-equipped and live ammunition jailers patrolling and guarding.

The jailer took me through the numerous iron gates and finally arrived at the seventh prison area.

I thanked the prisoner and also rewarded him with a piece of gold ingot, and the prisoner took it happily.

I thought to myself: "It turns out that bribery is also effective in the underworld, and the corruption in the underworld is even more than that in the sun!"

I walked into the Seventh Prison District and met the warden of the Seventh Prison District. Then another jailer took me into the prison.

The prison here is colder than the one in Yangshi. Walking down the long corridor, there are cage-like prisons on both sides, one by one, and there are people in each cell. These people are all kinds of strange and many of them still maintain their previous death. I saw a woman without a head walking around the cell, and saw a man covered in blood sticking to the door of the cell, looking at me coldly. Suddenly, a bloody eyeball rolled down, and I was sweating all over.

The jailer took me to stop at the door of a prison cell: "Is the person you are looking for her?"

I looked in through the cell and saw Old Lady Du at a glance. She sat in the corner with a dull expression, neither crying nor making a fuss.

I nodded at the jailer, and the jailer opened the iron gate of the prison for me. As usual, I rewarded the jailer with a gold ingot.

"Who are you?" Old Mrs. Du heard the footsteps and looked up at me, with a hint of doubt in her turbid eyes.

"Aunt Du, I am Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu who lives with you in Shuiwa Village. They all call me Jiujizi!" I introduced myself to Old Lady Du.

Old Mrs. Du said, "Xiao Jiu? I have some impression! Why did you come to the Wudi City? Look at your young age, are you too..."

I waved my hand and said, "I'm not dead. I'm going to the underworld to visit you!"

"Look at me?" Old Mrs. Du looked suspicious: "I am not a relative or acquaintance with you, and I am not very familiar with you. What are you here to see me for?"

I sat down in front of Old Mrs. Du and told her directly: "I'm here, mainly to investigate something, I hope you can cooperate with me!"

"What's the matter?" Old Mrs. Du asked in a low voice.

"Investigate how you died?" I pointed at Old Lady Du and said word by word.

Old Mrs. Du trembled: "Come and ask about my cause of death?"

"Yes!" I nodded and said sincerely: "After you die, your resentment will not dissipate. We found the bleeding tombstone. We knew that there might be other hidden information in your death, but we could not open the coffin and examine the autopsy, so we had to find you with this method of observing the shadows and ask you in person!"

"Really...really? Did you really see my grievance? Can you really help me?" Old Mrs. Du heard that we were here to investigate her real cause of death, and immediately became excited.
