The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 838 Shadow of the Great Wall
Although the word "Great Wall" refers to the entire black giant wall that runs across the northern border, it actually refers to the city that guards the pass.

From the moment Liu Sheng saw the Great Wall, the world fell silent.

The snow fell endlessly, and the sky was always pitch black, as if there would never be light again.

The darkness of the Great Wall almost merged with the sky. If it were not for the occasional half-obscured face of a god in the sky, it would be almost impossible to distinguish the boundary between the wall and the night.

The endless night, the extreme cold, and the strange creatures just across the wall have made this place uninhabited. Even the wind is strangled by the towering city walls when it reaches here.

Everything is quiet, as if there is no one in this desperate place, like a corner forgotten by the world.

Even so, there is still a small population living under the Great Wall.

Liu Sheng walked on this deserted dirt road, looking at the old wooden houses and broken barracks on both sides that were buried in snow, and felt that this place might not be considered inhabited.

The people here are all abandoned.

An old soldier who became physically disabled and mentally ill due to guarding the Great Wall.

A criminal who was exiled for committing a serious crime.

A carrier who was expelled because of the infection of strange energy.

There are also hermits who escape from the world with unspeakable secrets...

In short, for various reasons, I came to this corner forgotten by the world, huddled in the wind and snow, hiding in the shadow of the Great Wall, and relying on dry bread to survive the long cold nights.

Speaking of the shadow of the Great Wall...

Liu Sheng looked up and saw a city at a very high place.

That is the real pass of the Great Wall.

Strictly speaking, it is the inner city.

The Northern Army’s base is the real frontline against weird creatures.

And where she was was the outer city attached to it, which was specially designed to accommodate these abandoned people who were lingering on.

She came with Nangong Wan's handwritten letter, but was still blocked outside the high gate leading to the inner city.

"General Hubei is busy with all sorts of affairs. How can he have time to care about you, the idlers? Go away!"

The soldier guarding the gate raised his hand to drive them away with a stern tone.

"Elder Nangong has already mentioned this matter to the general in the spiritual message. Please pass it on." Liu Sheng explained again slowly.

The soldier guarding the gate was a stout woman with a frostbitten red face. She was wearing ill-fitting black armor with rough fur lining showing at the corners. The whole set looked like it was pieced together.

She spat and sneered, "So what if I said that? A high-ranking official from the capital came here a few days ago, but he was stopped outside. Who do you think you are, Elder Nangong? What is the Snow Mountain? I've never even heard of it!"

"you!"

Ruan Shizhi stepped forward excitedly, but was stopped by Liu Sheng.

Her mind moved slightly.

[A high-ranking official in the capital? ]

"Where is that adult now?"

"How should I know?" The woman waved her hands impatiently. "Maybe he's at the post station. But it's been a few days, maybe he's already gone, unlike us who are sitting here eating snow and drinking wind."

Liu Sheng frowned: "General, don't you have time to see me in all these days?"

"Tsk, who do you think is keeping you southerners living such a comfortable life?"

The woman raised her hand and pointed at the dark inner city.

"The people in the upper echelons have to face off against strange creatures every day, risking their lives. Unlike you, you have no time to spare to pass on a message or say something all day long."

"Don't stand here, go away."

"Wait, do you know who you are stopping?"

Ruan Shizhi spoke.

This time Liu Sheng didn't stop him.

"Oh? Who is it?" The woman raised her eyes coldly.

"I, I, I am the son of General Hubei!"

Ruan Shizhi, who always had a gloomy and rebellious look, began to stutter when he talked about this matter, as if he had turned back into the Ruan Shizhi that Liu Sheng first met.

After hearing this, the other party was stunned.

Even the soldier who was lazily dozing off against the door looked over.

There was silence for a moment, with only the rustling sound of falling snow.

then……

"Hahahahahaha!"

The two of them laughed so hard that they fell backwards. "Hahaha! This kid is really funny!"

"How funny! How long has it been since we heard such a funny joke in this freezing Great Wall?"

Ruan Shizhi was so angry that his face turned red, "You guys! I'm telling the truth!"

"Tell me the truth?" The woman laughed so hard that she had to pull up the dirty corner of her clothes to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "If you are the son of the Great General Hubei, then I am the daughter of the old emperor!"

The soldier next to him immediately pretended to cooperate: "Yes, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

He even deliberately dragged out his voice and sounded sarcastic.

"How dare you...how dare you...how dare you say that?"

Ruan Shizhi was so furious that his already swollen face became even more swollen and his mouth began to stutter.

This makes people laugh even more happily.

"Why don't you dare to say it?" The woman snorted coldly, "The emperor is far away, how can they control our tongues?"

"Besides... we are people whose lives depend on the Great Wall. We don't even know whether our heads will be on our necks tomorrow. Are we still afraid of being beheaded?" The other man also sneered.

This sentence made Ruan Shizhi choke.

Liu Sheng finally spoke at this time, his voice was calm and firm, as if it could penetrate the howling of the wind and snow.

"What if what he said is true?"

The woman shrugged. "Yes, that's right."

"Since that's the case... could you please tell the general?"

Liu Sheng turned to Ruan Shizhi and said, "Where's your pass?"

Ruan Shizhi hurriedly tried to take it out.

But before he could take it out, the female soldier waved her hand to stop him: "Don't look for it, it's useless."

"We don't know what the general's son looks like. Anyone can make up a name and claim to be his son. Do we have to verify it one by one?"

"Yes, every year there are so many people who claim to be related to the general. If they were really allowed in one by one, the Great Wall would have been flattened long ago." Another man echoed.

He looked at Ruan Shizhi with a mocking look: "What's more, this look and temperament don't look like our mighty general at all..."

The two immediately smiled at each other.

Liu Sheng noticed that Ruan Shizhi's fists were clenched.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." The woman put away her smile and pointed to the top of the city wall. "There has been an order from above that outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the inner city in the near future."

"Why?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Stop asking."

The woman's tone grew colder.

"Haven't you heard the old saying? The less you know, the longer you live."

Afterwards, neither of them was willing to respond.

"Let's go."

Liu Sheng pulled Ruan Shizhi, who was unwilling.

"I am obviously... I am obviously!" Ruan Shizhi kicked the snow under his feet, angrily.

Liu Sheng said: "These two are the gatekeepers. Even if you really are the one, they just won't acknowledge you."

"Unless someone can inform your mother, or you can call your father over, it really can't prove anything."

Liu Sheng asked again:

"Do you have any spiritual information from your mother?"

"No..." Ruan Shizhi shook his head, "Mother said it's not easy to contact me via spiritual communication at the Great Wall, and she's afraid that something bad will be passed on to me..."

There is such a saying?
Then why was Senior Sister Nangong able to contact us again?

Liu Sheng's mind moved, and he wanted to quickly go to the strange world to ask Nangong Wan.

But suddenly I felt a heavy suppressing force, like an entire cold and majestic wall pressing down on my consciousness, isolating that dimension.

That power seemed to come from...

She slowly raised her head and looked at the towering black wall, her eyes slightly fixed.

"Or, there is another way."

"What?" Ruan Shizhi asked vigilantly.

"Let's just climb up." Liu Sheng said lightly.
