Deep in the Living

Chapter 292 The Composition of Hell
Real hell.

After the world is compressed twice, the world has a cone-shaped structure.

Just like the earth can be divided into the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere, the real hell is also divided into the light side and the dark side, but the ratio is not half and half, but 4:1.

The obvious proportion is larger, with more wars, more births, more activities, and more distribution of forces.

There is a very obvious alternation of day and night here, and the gathering and absorption of ashes can be clearly seen.

The two largest forces of Hell are also located in the open.

1. Rachion (Rachion, or Spine) based on the Spine
2. Primordis Pustum based on tumor

Of course, the Prelude is also a prominent special force.

The open surface is where most of the creatures of hell are active. It is relatively safe, at least they won’t die inexplicably. Most demons will develop and become stronger here.

The dark side is a lightless area with no day or night and filled with ash all day long.

The "Hungry Ones" who are responsible for absorbing the ashes of hell mainly live here.

All the ashes of the world that are absorbed and devoured by them will be rolled towards the dark side, so that no form of sky light can penetrate.

The Hungry Ones belong to a special force of the dark side - [Buffet].
Unlike other forces, there is no direct way to become hungry and join the banquet.

Even the dinner party itself has no clear leader. Most of the time they just wander aimlessly in the dark side, eating endlessly, which can be regarded as an important part of the ecological cycle of hell.

The formation of the hungry is more of a choice of hell itself.

Those demons who are born weak and have no talents will never be noticed by any force in their entire lives. They will even be despised if they stay in the most ordinary hell town, and they are far inferior to others in doing even the most basic work.

In a real hell where the strong prey on the weak, such weak and defective individuals should have been eliminated long ago.

Unable to survive, unable to get even a little bit of food.

After realizing their own limitations, some demons decisively choose to commit suicide. Their bodies will be absorbed by hell and become fuel, which can be regarded as a contribution.

Some demons wanted to survive and tried to steal or eat other people's food, but their weakness meant that this behavior could not last long and would only anger others and get them killed.

Only a tiny fraction of demons,

After realizing their own weakness, they still want to survive, and they will not choose to steal or lower their status to pick up garbage.

They will leave the town and the settlement and embark on a journey of survival alone.

In a state of hunger, they chose to feed on hell.

Gnawing on thorns, swallowing sand, swallowing stones...anything can be used as food to fill the hunger.

Of course, their already weak bodies could not sustain such a way of eating for a long time, and they would die sooner or later. If they reached some unknown standard before death, they would be chosen by hell.

Hell will devour their bodies and undergo special transformations, eventually digging themselves out from the dark side as the Hungry.

The Hungry will rarely leave the Dark Side.

Once they discover a creature that does not belong to the dark side, their intense hunger will be aroused, and they will attack outsiders.

This is one of the dangers of the dark side.

Another force that is mainly rooted in the dark side of hell is [Evil Play], which is also a force that causes headaches for many demons. It is a mysterious, cunning and extremely selfish force.

The members of the prank are called "worms".

The number of members that make up the Evil Drama is greater than that of the Prologue, but far less than that of the Spine Evil and the Primordial Pus.

Unlike the Hungry Ones who are also on the dark side,
There is a very clear method to become a worm, and it is a very general and simple method.

No need to go on a painful pilgrimage like a monk,
There is no need to go through war or physical tests like becoming a Spineman.

You just need to hand in an "answer sheet".

The so-called answer sheet is to make trouble in the real hell,
It doesn't matter if it's a trivial matter or a well-known event.
As long as it's bad enough, as long as it's interesting enough, as long as you actually do it and remember it in your mind.

When the individual goes to the dark side of hell, he only needs to actively contact any insect tissue, and the evil play members will open their skulls and check the answers stored in their memories from their brains.

There is no fixed answer.

As long as the people behind the prank can laugh and find it funny, then it's considered a success... Of course, it's also possible to be deceived and disappear completely into hell.

Once the answer sheet is accepted, the individual will go to the main city of Evil Play, where they will receive the hell item - "Drama Brain" and officially obtain the hell system.

Such a brain often allows them to manipulate illusions or disrupt thoughts. These despicable but effective means of influencing others, deceiving others, framing others, etc. are called "play".

Everything that Roddy experienced in the Rat Inn was the performance of the play at the level of illusion space.

The insects in the evil play usually do not fight head-on.

The original intention of all their actions is to kill their opponents by despicable and insidious means as much as possible. There is no honor in it, but it makes them feel very enjoyable.

Due to the characteristics of the evil play,

At a certain historical stage, there was a nationwide craze for making trouble. The whole hell became turbulent, and the figures of insects could be seen everywhere, and they even infiltrated into several other forces.

Eventually the balance was broken.

The Spinemen are no longer immersed in world aggression and internal losses. The Seven Demon Kings lead their armies directly to the dark side. Anyone who is contaminated with the scent of insects in any area they pass through will become a consumable of the army.

From then on, the evil play promised not to cause trouble on a large scale, and mainly operated in the dark. Those who wanted to join the evil play could only do it secretly, and needed to avoid places with spines as much as possible.

in addition,

It is not easy to reach the dark side of hell, and it is not something that can be reached simply by traveling in the usual way.

The light side and the dark side are separated by the [Dead Ash Sea]*, which is the only remaining sea after the world is compressed.
It is a vast ocean covered with ashes, piled with hellish waste, and overflowing with miasma.

Due to the needs of trade, recruitment of villains, and dark exploration, large and small port cities have been established in coastal areas. Most of these cities are related to forces and provide relatively mature cross-sea navigation services.

……

Tatata!
The black pig's iron hooves stomped heavily on the scorched earth plain, and all the beasts within a hundred meters along the way would automatically retreat.

In contrast, the crow colt is quiet and silent, making no noise no matter how fast it runs.

According to Agatha's introduction, the Raven Colt is a creature from the dark side of Hell, and is also classified as [Rare]. In the Hell Beast Encyclopedia in the library of the monastery, the image of the Raven Colt is specially marked with a thorny metal frame.

It is rare and difficult to tame. Even the insects living on the dark side of hell rarely use it as a mount. Special means of brain modification are required to control it.

It took six days of traveling.
We will stop at some hell towns along the way, and the rumors about the Crow Messenger will become stronger and stronger.

Across the scorched earth,

A damp and dirty air entered the mouth.

The ground that the horse's hooves stepped on was no longer dry and hard scorched earth, but a muddy and sticky ground. Even the light crow colt would cause the ground to ooze out pus-like sewage with every step.

The black pig ridden by Agatha caused juice to splash everywhere, so it was necessary to keep a distance of at least ten meters.

They came to the coastal area.

Rody finally saw some non-thorny plants, but they made him feel more uncomfortable than thorns, and he even wanted to stay away from them.

Festerquama

A unique plant that grows in the coastal areas of the Dead Ash Sea. Its surface is covered with various shapes of fish scales, and the whole plant is swollen and twisted. It also produces tumor-like fruits on the top. The slightest touch will spray out a lot of rotten ashes.

The closer to the ocean, the denser these trees are, and they may even form dense forests.

There are also some dangerous swamp areas nearby that are not suitable for heavy mounts to pass through, so the two of them tried to avoid them as much as possible.

As the two of them were about to cross the wooded area, a strong beam of light suddenly shone.

A huge lighthouse hundreds of meters high stands on the coastline.

There is also a larger city built under the lighthouse, which is almost the same size as the Moon City where Rody had stayed, but the style of the city makes him feel uncomfortable.

"A city of tumor people?"

Agatha nodded, "Yes, this is the largest port city in the Dead Ash Sea - [Umbilical Port], which belongs to the Original Pus and is also the safest port to the dark side of hell.

The city can also be seen as a large sewage treatment plant.

If this city did not exist, and if the tumor residents did not digest the filth day and night, the ocean would have long turned into a garbage mountain.

The living environment here may be a bit harsh, Luo Di, you should be able to adapt to it, right?"

"Ah."
