Evil of all ages

Chapter 237 One for One
"Uncle Ren, Uncle Gao..."

After not seeing them for four or five years, Huang Taihong noticed that Uncle Ren and the others had not aged at all. Even the oldest, Old Master Chong, had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy.

He was astonished.
This is the Heavenly Prison, dark and damp, most likely to affect other people's lifespan.

He returned fully prepared. The oldest man, Old Bug, had already passed away. Uncle Ren and the others had gone home to recuperate due to their advanced age, and their sons had taken over as jailers.

Who would have thought they were still around!

It looks exactly the same as when he left.

His older brother is becoming more and more mysterious.

"I've grown taller and stronger."

Ren Zhengnian and the others opened the cell door, went into the cell, patted Huang Taihong on the shoulder, and squeezed Huang Taihong's arm, looking very pleased.

"Where's my elder brother?"

Faced with the elders' warm greetings, Huang Taihong responded to each one, and then asked where his older brother was.

"Your older brother is in District Ding and is preparing to give you a welcome dinner. We've come here to take you there."

Ren Zhengnian told Huang Taihong to go with them.

"Isn't that a bad idea? If I wander around the prison freely and someone tells on me, won't it implicate my elder brother?"

Huang Taihong knew that this prison was his elder brother's territory, but he didn't know exactly how much power his elder brother wielded.

It wouldn't be good if my older brother got involved because of him.

"Hehehe..."

"Xiao Hong, no one will tell anyone. And even if someone does, so what!"

"Who dares to punish your elder brother?"

"Queen Mother?"

"Little Emperor?"

"No, they don't dare, they even keep their distance from your older brother."

"It's also because your older brother is quite low-key. Aside from fishing, he either stays in the prison or stays in the Huang residence and doesn't go out."

"Otherwise, no one in the capital will feel at ease."

Ren Zhengnian smiled.

"Come on, come on... We know you have a lot of questions in your heart. When you see your older brother, you can ask him."

Gao Zhiming and the others didn't give Huang Taihong a chance to ask them any questions, and they dragged Huang Taihong away.

Upon arriving at Area Ding, Huang Taihong's forehead was immediately filled with a huge question mark.

As soon as he entered Area D, he heard the sound of musical instruments being played.

Looking at the red lines on the ground that distinguish the four areas, A, B, C, and D, he crossed the red line to enter area D before he heard the sound of musical instruments.

Without crossing any boundaries, not a single musical instrument could be heard.

To verify this, he even took a step back and crossed the red line to leave area D, and sure enough, the instrumental music stopped.

This made him widen his eyes, looking at Uncle Ren and the others with an air of naiveté.

Ren Zhengnian and the others smiled and said they didn't know either, and that Huang Taihong could ask his older brother.

Huang Taihong understood that it wasn't that Uncle Ren and the others didn't understand, but rather that there were many things they couldn't conveniently tell him.

He knew this must involve his older brother's secret, so he stopped asking and quietly followed Uncle Ren and the others into the Ding area.

The first half of area D is no different from other areas.

In the second half, Huang Taihong was dumbfounded.

The latter half of Ding's area was hollowed out; it was no longer a prison cell, but was transformed by his older brother into a place he couldn't even describe.

There were beams of white light, red light, purple light... all kinds of beams flashing randomly.

The dancers swayed their bodies on the stage, accompanied by the sounds of instruments and the ever-changing light and shadow of the surroundings, creating an irresistible allure.

When Huang Taichu saw his second brother arrive, he made a gesture, the music stopped, the dancers stopped their dance, and the colorful lights went out.

The dazzling lights came on.

This made Huang Taihong feel uncomfortable for a moment, and he tried to cover himself with his hand.

Once he got used to it, he looked at the thing emitting a dazzling light with a bewildered expression.

I was curious, what is this thing?
It emitted a dazzling light, just like the sun.

"That's a lighting lamp, bought from the ghost market, powered by solar energy... Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it, just think of it as one of the most common things in the ghost market."

Huang Taichu was speechless when he saw his second brother being distracted by a lamp. He couldn't believe that his older brother wasn't as important as a lamp.

"Big Brother"

Huang Taihong lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on his elder brother's face. He clearly had many questions to ask, but he hadn't seen his elder brother for four or five years.

Upon seeing his elder brother, he didn't know how to begin. "Come, come, take a seat..."

Huang Taichu pulled his second brother to the very center of the brightly lit, bustling place and pressed him down to sit on the sofa.

Huang Taihong was sitting on something so soft that he felt an overwhelming urge to stand up.

But his older brother pushed him back, saying it was a sofa bought at the ghost market and there was no need to make a fuss.

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Huang Taichu clapped his hands, causing the dancers around him to start swaying.

As the music began, the lights flickered on and off, and the dancers' sexy bodies pressed close to her, swaying and twisting.

Huang Taichu was a seasoned veteran and it didn't bother him, but how could Huang Taihong stand it?

"Brother, tell them to leave."

Huang Taihong's face was flushed, whether from holding back or from being shyly seduced by the dancers' close proximity, and he asked his elder brother to let these people leave.

"Everyone, get out of here."

When Huang Taichu saw that his second brother couldn't take it anymore, he waved for the rest of the people to leave.

When Ren Zhengnian and the others saw that everyone else had left, they followed suit.

"Why are you just staring at me? If you have any questions, just ask."

Seeing that his second brother was just staring at him without saying a word, Huang Taichu crossed his legs, sipped his wine, and spoke.

"What's the deal with the Ghost King?"

"And what about my fiancée?"

Although Huang Taihong was curious about why his older brother had changed so much, as if he had become a completely different person, he knew that everything had to be understood little by little.

"There is no Ghost King in the Heavenly Prison, and our dead father does not exist at all."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

"The prisoners in that jail?"

Huang Taihong asked.

"I did it."

Huang Taichu said lightly.

"Big brother, you did this?"

Huang Taihong frowned even more deeply.

"I have awakened my past life memories."

"In my previous life, I was a powerful being from another world, skilled in some strange arts and witchcraft."

"But the rules of this world are different. If I want to use supernatural arts or witchcraft in this world, I need to pay a price and need nourishment."

"These prisoners are the nourishment that gives me strength."

"And then the legend of the Ghost King came about."

Huang Taichu can just spout off whatever comes to mind; if he can fool people, that's best.

It's okay if I didn't fool anyone.

"Awakening past life memories?"

"An expert from another world?"

"Strange arts? Witchcraft?"

Huang Taihong blinked repeatedly, looking at his older brother who remained silent for a long time. He felt as if his older brother was trying to fool him.

"So, the Ghost King in the Heavenly Prison can also be considered to be you, Big Brother."

Huang Taihong didn't pry, after all, he didn't want his older brother to be hiding something from him.

His question is pointless!
My older brother won't answer.

Why not go along with your elder brother's wishes?

"You can say that!"

"But it's good that you know, don't let anyone else know that I am the Ghost King."

"Because the rules of the world are different, my supernatural arts and witchcraft may look impressive, but they are actually just so-so, good to look at but useless."

Huang Taihong understood; his elder brother was only scaring people with terrifying rumors, and his actual abilities were lacking.

"Although we take advantage of the fact that the people in this world are ignorant and have never seen the world, we are not afraid of trouble."

"Anyone below the Grandmaster level who enters this Heavenly Prison will have their life or death in my hands."

"If a Grandmaster-level expert comes, I can trade one for one."
