When the old monster in the cell behind me made a sound, I saw the eyes of Qiu Fan and Li Guangyi widen in an instant. Almost in an instant, the two of them shrank from the railing to the bed.
The two old ghosts who used to show off their power were hiding in the upper bunk and the other in the lower bunk. Neither of them made a sound, as silent as a cicada.
When I saw their reaction, I immediately understood that it was because of the old ghost. I didn't dare to make a mistake, so I quickly imitated these two old tricksters and retreated back to the bed.
It's just that my bed is an upper bunk. I'm not an erratic ghost like them. It takes a lot of time to climb up. In an emergency, I simply huddled in the lower bunk with only one wooden board.
However, the old monster in the cell to my right never made another sound or said one more word.
I boldly glanced at it with the corner of my eye, but what I saw was the old guy sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing the wall, his clothes were windless, and his white hair was slowly flying...
He didn't react at all, and the "eh" just now didn't seem to come from him at all.
But I saw that Li Guangyi and Qiu Fan had no intention of saying more. They were hiding on the bed obediently, like two children taking a nap in kindergarten.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep because I was on a lower bunk with only a wooden board and not even a bedding. It was freezing cold in the prison that day, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
But I didn't dare to move. I was afraid that if I moved, I would alert the scary old guy next door, so I had no choice but to huddle in the lower bunk and just wait.
I don’t know how many hours passed, but the food delivery person finally came over. I saw Qiu Fan and Li Guangyi running over to get the food, and I quickly got out of bed. By this time, my legs were numb.
He limped towards the guard delivering food at the door.
As expected, the person who brought me food this time was not the fat uncle, but a young guard who looked very junior. I took the plate and asked in a low voice: "Where is the fat uncle?"
The young guard glared at me with disgust, put down the plate and left without saying anything to me.
Li Guangyi smiled across the iron fence and said: "I advise you not to talk to the guards. If you are reported by them for talking, the guards here will probably pull you out and give you a beating."
I frowned and asked, "Is it really that serious?"
Li Guangyi nodded and said: "That's not true. The guards here are all kind-hearted but cruel. You will understand after you stay there for a long time."
I nodded and asked, "By the way, why did you let me touch the iron fence just now?"
Li Guangyi smiled and waved Qiu Fan over.
Qiu Fan walked over and said with a sneer: "Young man, let me tell you, you are a treasure! What kind of material is your iron fence made of?"
I shook my head: "I don't know."
Qiu Fan said: "To be honest, this iron fence is made of fine black iron. There are only five cells in our sky-high prison cell made of this material. I am honored that the three of us live in two of them."
I nodded, and then I realized that when I walked over, I saw that the five rooms in the last row of the Tianzihao cell were connected because they were all made of this weird material.
"What are the characteristics of this material?" I asked quickly.
Qiu Fan said: "This black iron material is the purest and most yang thing. If an ordinary evil ghost encounters it, it will definitely... be wiped out. Even if it is too close, it will cause a burning sensation, but it depends on your appearance.
, the fusion of humans and ghosts doesn’t seem to be too afraid of this black iron?”
I nodded and said, "It's true that I don't have a strong reaction, but I still feel that the black iron is too hot."
Qiu Fan chuckled, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "It seems that you swallowed the Dark Fire Mysterious Pearl?"
I frowned, vaguely feeling that Qiu Fan seemed to know a lot, so I quickly asked: "What is the Dark Fire Mysterious Pearl?"
When I asked this question, I pretended to be the best, basically showing off my best acting skills, but it seemed that this old ghost was a bit more cunning. Qiu Fan was not deceived by me at all, but was minding his own business.
Asked: "Tell me, was it because you swallowed the Dark Fire Mysterious Pearl that you were caught in the heavenly prison in this underground palace?"
I was shocked in my heart. I didn’t expect that this guy named Qiu Fan was so smart and could immediately see through the reason why I was caught here. Although I didn’t know whether those weird people in the underground palace were trying to capture me because of this.
He was arrested, but Qiu Fan's guess was indeed good.
I neither nodded nor shook my head, I just stood there blankly, holding a plate of food and looking at him.
Qiu Fan chuckled and said, "It's fine if you don't say it. I won't embarrass you, but you have to know that you are just a treasure to us now!"
Li Guangyi suddenly laughed sinisterly and said, "Lao Qiu, don't scare him. What's a treasure? You're talking about it in such a vulgar way."
Qiu Fan glared at Li Guangyi and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and eat, the gate will be opened soon..."
"Open the gate?" I was stunned, not knowing what it meant.
Li Guangyi quickly lowered his voice and said: "Opening the gate is an opportunity for the prisoners in the sky jail to communicate. The partition railings in the five adjacent cells will be opened, and the prisoners in these five rooms can communicate together...
Hehe, but don't worry, the cell on your right will never be opened, so we actually only have four cells here."
"Oh?" As soon as I heard that I had to communicate with these evil spirits, I felt a little scared.
Sure enough, Li Guangyi said: "You should be careful in a moment. We are all ghosts, we are of the same kind. You are now a fusion of human and ghost, and it seems that you have more of the human side, so you look like a living person."
, plus you are new here, there will definitely be other ghosts that will cause trouble for you soon..."
I nodded and asked, "Should I be tougher or cowardly?"
Li Guangyi chuckled and said: "It's best to be tough. If you get scared on the first day, it will be difficult for you in the future. Eat more and replenish your strength."
Li Guangyi seemed to be a kind-hearted person. He whispered a few words to me and then went back to eat quietly.
I was a little nervous after being told by Li Guangyi, so I quickly finished my meal, put the plate outside the cell, and then lay on the bed to quietly recuperate my strength.
As for the Dark Fire Mysterious Pearl, this guy named Qiu Fan must know a lot, but he didn't tell me the specific content, so I was very curious.
As for what kind of ghosts I will face when I open the gate, I don’t know. I can only face it with all my strength. The fat uncle is right. As a living person, eating only one meal a day is really unbearable.
Especially since the food intake was not very large, it was only a little over the second day, and I started to feel faint from hunger.
In a trance, I gradually fell into sleep. I don’t know how long it took, but I vaguely heard a harsh and shrill voice shouting: "Open the gate! Open the gate!"
I quickly rolled over from the bed and sat up. When I looked back, I saw a roar. The iron fence between Li Guangyi and I's cell slowly rose. As a result, our respective rooms gradually changed.
It became the same large room, but the outer wall always existed... It turned out that this was the legendary opening gate.
But when I looked back, I found that the iron fence between the old goblin's room on the right and me was not moving at all. It seemed that they had no intention of letting the old goblin join us. Presumably it was because the old goblin's ability was so terrifying.
, if released, there may be casualties.
Outside the cell, a guard pulled his neck and shouted: "The gate is open for one hour, which is half an hour. It is forbidden to fight, to talk about content that is not allowed to be communicated according to laws and regulations, to form gangs, and to make loud noises."
…”
The little guard outside shouted the regulations over and over again, but I saw pairs of red eyes gradually lighting up in the cells in the distance.
Because it was really dark in the cell, I couldn't see too far away. The only people I saw now were Qiu Fan and Li Guangyi, both of whom sat up from the bed very cautiously...
It's time to see who are the people behind bars today.
