I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 53 The Martial Soul of Zhenhun Street?

Li Changgeng remembered clearly that the last time he fought against the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits with Xia Mengmeng at the Buddhist Academy of Black Sea City University, a masked swordsman appeared. Li Changgeng arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness in a white hearse and finally returned home in the same hearse.

Without a hearse, it's absolutely impossible for him to go home.

If we give the Meng Po soup to my sister Li Ying, maybe a miracle will really happen.

"Going home? That's easy."

Bai Wuchang walked over with a grin, his attitude towards Li Changgeng completely changed. He had been fighting this soul from Zhenhun Street, or more accurately, a martial soul, for more than three years, and had lost every time.

Although Li Changgeng did not make a move, he won against Mount Tai without lifting a finger.

"Let the Dragon Boat Festival take you through the Yin-Yang barrier, and we'll deliver you right to your doorstep. We'll provide door-to-door service and guarantee your satisfaction."

Bai Wuyong nudged the big-eyed boy Duanwu with his elbow, "Isn't that right, Duanwu!"

Duanwu rolled her eyes. Asking her to deliver something to an ordinary person from the mortal realm was really a bit embarrassing.

But Li Changgeng is different. He can make Mount Tai run away in a sorry state without gaining any advantage. With such a powerful presence, Duanwu naturally has to curry favor with him.

"Do you even need to tell me that?"

"My Chang Gung is the best existence."

On Dragon Boat Festival, he picked up a palm-leaf fan from the ground and drew an irregular circle in the air in front of him.

The void was torn open, and a misty aura of intertwined purple and green rushed out.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home. Crossing the Yin-Yang barrier is very strenuous and consumes a lot of spiritual energy.” Duanwu took out a small brocade pouch. “Brother Changgeng, this thing can hold soup. People who are unconscious shouldn’t drink too much soup!”

The small brocade pouch was filled with Meng Po soup. On Dragon Boat Festival, the cross rope of the pouch was gently pulled to tighten it.

That way, the Meng Po soup won't flow out.

Li Changgeng was eager to visit his sister Li Ying at the Black Sea City Hospital, hoping that the Meng Po soup might have a miraculous effect.

"My lord, I shall return now!" The black goat man did not want to be exposed in public, as it would not be good for him and would deplete his spiritual energy. This Meng Po soup was a wonderful elixir that could nourish the soul.

"Granted!" Li Changgeng didn't want to walk around the streets with the black goat; it would scare people to death.

The cracks in the void slowly "healed" and disappeared.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Changgeng left the Naihe Bridge in Fengdu City through a special time-space portal.

Li Changgeng examined the bronze shrine and found that the blue hearse card number 9 had turned black and had lost all its spirituality. Li Changgeng was unable to communicate with it, as if it were dead.

It seems that Taishan destroyed his hearse, which also caused the number 9 card to be destroyed.

"Meng Po, what exactly is Li Changgeng? Is he a human, a god, an evil spirit, or..." Watching the spatial portal disappear into the air, Bai Wuchang became even more interested in Li Changgeng. This person was truly fascinating and unfathomable.

The situation in the outside world is becoming increasingly complicated. Fengdu City indirectly controls everything in Black Sea City through the fog.

Black Sea City is now completely isolated from the outside world. People here cannot go anywhere they want. Thick fog will shroud the entire city, and the people of Black Sea City live in gloom.

The evil god was originally supposed to descend upon Fengdu City. This was a reincarnation from two years ago, but Fengdu City moved the evil god's descent to Black Sea City, indirectly shifting the battlefield between gods and demons away from Fengdu City. Almost everything was under the surveillance of Fengdu City.

Li Changgeng is a very special existence in the vast sea of ​​people.

"Hey, do you think Fengdu City is real? Or rather, does Fengdu City really exist? And these Three Lives Stone, the Bridge of Helplessness, the wronged souls in the River of Oblivion, even the Meng Po soup that I brew for forty-nine days, have you thought about it carefully? Do we live in Fengdu City, or in a game, or in a virtual world?"

Meng Po has been on the Bridge of Helplessness for an unknown amount of time, day after day, year after year, always doing the same simple things: ferrying wronged souls across and brewing Meng Po soup.

"Granny Meng, are you getting senile? Of course we live in Fengdu City in the Underworld. Everything we see is real, there's no doubt about it!" Bai Wuchang never doubted anything that happened. If he had any doubts, it was only about one thing.

Why did Fengdu City send the mist down to Black Sea City, causing Eternal Night to engulf it? The Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits are terrifying beings, but Fengdu City has ten Yin Gods, ten Yama Kings, six Heavenly Palaces, and five Ghost Emperors, not to mention the invincible Fengdu Emperor.

Fighting against evil gods is no problem at all.

Meng Po smiled meaningfully, "Little Bai, you really are a novice. We are all very likely being controlled, existing with pre-programmed existences. I always have this feeling that the boy named Liu Changgeng may be the hope of all of us."

"Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?" Bai Wuchang was always on standby. Last time at Black Sea City University, he also saw the nightmare of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits. Before he could make a move, the nightmare ran away. Bai Wuchang believed that the masked swordsman was one of the Ten Kings of Hell.

Meng Po took basket after basket of human eyes off the human skin conveyor belt. "Just wait and see. Little Bai, you can actually go to Black Sea City and take a closer look. The fog will eventually dissipate, and that place is the edge! Black Sea City is the world's technological capital, and humans are passionate about immersive games. Even the most perfect game has a map boundary. As long as we find it, we can control our own destiny."

Bai Wuchang shook his head frantically, "We, we, Granny Meng, are you saying we were set up???"

"Go find the boundary of the map, maybe you can find it. The boundary of the fog may be the boundary of the game map!" Meng Po poured basket after basket of eyes into a large pot. Everything here seemed to be changing, yet it also seemed to remain unchanged. Meng Po discovered the pattern of change.

Every three weeks, the color of the River of Oblivion changes. Every two weeks, a red forked tongue will appear in the basket filled with tongues. Around the end of each month, coinciding with the crescent moon, a giant white snake will appear in the River of Oblivion...

There are countless similar cases.

……

"Let's go to the entrance of Black Sea City Hospital." Li Changgeng had already arrived at his doorstep. Last time, two evil spirits had made a mess of his house, and even the door was broken.

"I can only take you to your doorstep." Big-Eyed Boy tried to go to Blacksea City Hospital through the spatial portal, but couldn't.

Li Changgeng thought about it and it seemed to make sense. He could return to where he was now by taking the hearse from the Bridge of Helplessness. So he could only go home first. Li Ying said that his parents had left something for him under the floorboards at home.

There seemed to be someone at home. Li Changgeng saw bluish smoke and heard voices.

"Go out." Duanwu drew an archway that shimmered with blue light.

Li Changgeng took a step forward and instantly landed on the ground.

Since their parents' unexpected disappearance and their younger sister Li Ying's coma, few people have come to their home. Classmates, relatives, friends, and brothers all seem to have vanished into thin air.

"Can it really make money? I'm afraid there might be some real ghosts or evil spirits involved. Didn't they report it on the news?" The young man with glasses frowned. "I don't think Li Changgeng would dare to go."

"He'll definitely go. The school beauty invited him, and he wouldn't go!" Another young man, dressed in an elegant embroidered suit and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, took a deep drag on his cigar. "Li Changgeng's sister is hospitalized and needs money. Li Changgeng needs money, so he'll definitely go!"

Li Changgeng entered the room and was quite displeased after seeing the two uninvited guests.

"Zhou Lei, Gu Chao, what are you doing here?"
