Lu Li stretched out his hand and stood up with the help of Ruth's strength.
His body and hair were covered in dirt and he had no intention of cleaning them. Lu Li staggered towards the demon not far away and squatted down in front of it.
The Hungry Demon did not show any hostility due to Lu Li's approach and lowered his body slightly.
Lu Li's eyes fell on the Hungry Demon's ankle, where a tag was tied that was about to rot due to grinding.
It usually appears on the ankles and bracelets of corpses in the morgue to indicate identity.
He reached out to pick up the label, brushed his thumb over the stains on it, and a vague name emerged.
【Whitley Serra】
Lu Li did know a woman named Whitley.
A poor man who was subjected to a parasitic experiment by Richard and had a strange soul inserted into him. His body began to rot while he was still alive.
The evildoer has gotten what he deserves, but the innocent victims are still suffering the consequences.
"Do you remember who it is?"
Ruth's voice came from behind.
The Hungry Demon bared its sharp teeth and unleashed its first attack on Ruth.
"Your benefactor killed me, and you actually want me to be gentle to him?" Ruth sneered at the Hungry Demon, and then shook her head: "I'm really crazy, actually communicating with an unconscious shell."
"Why did you say she was about to starve to death?" Lu Li put down the only label that could prove that the Hungry Demon was once a human being, stood up and turned around to ask.
Lu Li changed his name to her.
Based on respect.
"There is no point in appetite in hell. No matter how much meat you eat, it will not reduce your hunger." Ruth lifted her top, and her clearly visible ribs and sunken abdomen were shocking. "Hell is burning and consuming human beings all the time.
Soul, only by replenishing the soul can this hunger be satisfied."
She put down her clothes and said in a low tone: "If we continue to receive no replenishment, we will eventually become the lowest level of hungry demons."
"You guys?" Lu Li noticed the details.
"Hell is much hotter than you think, not the environment." Ruth said a pun. "In addition to these unlucky and unintelligent low-level demons, this place is full of demonic forces, demonic territories, and wandering high-level demons.
, there are still many souls like you and me who remain the same and have not yet become demons."
"How to protect yourself?"
Ruth did not hide this. She opened her coat to reveal the flintlock gun in the holster, patted it and said: "Hunt those blind demons."
She originally wanted to take it out to scare Lu Li, but she was not sure if Lu Li's guardian spirits would regard it as hostility.
"Can you show it to me?" Lu Li's eyes fell on it, wondering if it was the psychic gun.
The fallen coat blocked his sight, and Ruth said in a bad tone: "No."
Without asking any more questions, Lu Li looked at the blindfolded Ruth and said, "I plan to leave here."
"Do you know how big hell is? How many demons are there? How powerful are they?" Ruth's rhetorical question seemed to be mocking Lu Li's ignorance.
"Is it related?"
"These powerful beings can only stay in hell and endure suffering. Why do you think you can leave?"
"Because I don't belong here." Lu Li said calmly.
This was indeed a reason. Ruth shrugged and did not intend to persuade Lu Li anymore: "Then what do you want to do? Psychic."
"Where are you gathering?" Lu Li asked.
"Fair Canyon."
"Please take me there."
"Don't be so anxious. You have to get used to slowing down in hell." Ruth tried to dissuade Lu Li from being impatient: "All our actions consume our souls. The slower you are, the slower your souls will be consumed."
Lu Li shook his head gently. He didn't have much time: "The devil's descendants are looking for me. I have to find a way out before they find me."
And the longer she stays in hell, the more likely something will happen to Anna.
Lu Li didn't want to go back and see Anna who had completely lost her humanity and turned into an evil spirit.
"You're kidding, right?"
The relaxation in Ruth's expression gradually disappeared. Looking at Lu Li's calm expression, she knew that he was probably not joking...
Especially after Lu Li raised his palm to show the inverted pentagram burn mark on the back of his hand.
She backed away as if encountering a natural enemy and stared at Lu Li warily: "I give up helping you. I thought you would restrain yourself after using a despicable trick to kill me, but I didn't expect you dared to provoke someone in hell.
A devil..."
"Wait a minute."
Lu Li stopped Ruth who was retreating: "Tell me how to get to Fair Canyon."
Ruth, who retreated ten meters away, pointed behind Lu Li: "Go straight along the foot of the Black Rock Volcano, and you will see an abandoned town. The only tavern open there is."
Lu Li turned around and looked into the distance, his sight blocked by the edge of the crater.
"Thanks."
Lu Li nodded and thanked Ruth, ignoring her complicated expression. Following Whitley, he walked to the edge of the crater and climbed to the ground.
After dragging the thin Whitley up again, Lu Li looked into the distance. It was difficult to find the town on the black land intertwined with lava rivers, perhaps because it was too far away.
Whitley did not interrupt, so Lu Li took her along the foot of the mountain.
At a certain moment, Lu Li suddenly tilted his head slightly.
Ruth, who had "parted ways" with him a few minutes ago, followed him dozens of meters away.
After walking a few hundred meters further, Ruth was still following behind. So Lu Li stopped and looked back at her.
"I'm going to the tavern." Ruth said uncomfortably, "I just happened to be on the way."
Lu Li didn't say anything and continued walking on the hot land.
"Why is it called Fair Canyon?"
Lu Li's inquiry sounded. Soon, Ruth's answer came from behind: "The first soul to come here is the name given by the devil or the devil. Because there is no difference between every dead person who falls here, and there will be no difference because of it.
The princes and nobles receive preferential treatment, but they all suffer the same fate. Is there anything more fair than this?"
The complements continued to come, with pity and schadenfreude.
"Except you, you are the 'lucky one' who is targeted by the devil."
"Tell me about the pub."
"Can."
Next, Ruth introduced the tavern to Lu Li.
Exchange or trading is an important part of intelligent life, even in hell.
Chaos and sin are synonymous with hell, where lies and deceit thrive. Even the cunning devil is sometimes deceived.
Hence the tavern.
The tavern is a mixed place, where souls with nothing, demon hunters, various high-level demons, bad-tempered demons, and even devils gather there for exchanges and transactions.
The rules there are stipulated by all beings: No one can take action within the town.
Even devils and high-level demons.
It is not yet known whether this rule is effective and whether it can restrict the existence of the top level of hell.
