Pre-death assessment

Upon hearing this, a look of shock immediately appeared on the faces of Li Ming and the others!

They were already quite surprised when Jiang Luo told them that there might be a third or fourth level of the pre-death assessment space.

There were actually nine layers?

So many?

Below are nine layers of earth; could this be what it means?

"So... we're only at the first stage, it's really just the preliminary round?"

Li Ming then said in a deep voice, "And almost everyone is unaware that there are actually eight more levels of assessment below!"

"To be precise, there aren't many people who know about this and are still alive."

Ling Wuhui replied.

Some people knew about this in the first level, but they didn't leave alive, so the news couldn't get out.

Some people, though they passed the first level and returned to the present world, were unaware that there was actually a second level after that.

It's like a game; there are actually nine levels.

Most people think there's only one level.

After all... most people can't even get past the first hurdle.

Even if you succeed, you'll most likely return to the real world, essentially quitting the game.

"From the second level onwards, the time in the assessment space has little to do with the real world."

Ling Wu continued, "And once you enter the second level, people in the mortal world... will also completely disappear."

"So although Luo Luo's older sister passed the first level of the assessment space, she entered a deeper level, which is why she cannot be found in the real world."

Li Ming nodded.

This explains why she passed the test but did not return to the real world.

This means she has been completely transported to a deeper level of the pre-death assessment space.

The time she experienced was no longer the year of assessment space before death, and the relationship between the present world being stuck at the moment before death!

"So... how do I enter the second level?"

Li Ming then asked.

"The way to enter the next level is often hidden in the previous level."

Ling Wu laughed and said, "It's like the Super Mario game we used to play."

"A hidden little tunnel might just be the passage to the next level."

"And the hidden passage to the first level of the pre-death assessment space is located in... the Xu hour assessment space."

"Not only can you enter the second level from the Xu hour assessment space, but you can also traverse between the first level!"

The assessment space during the Xu hour is the most unique among the twelve major assessment spaces.

The passage is hidden in the assessment space at this time.

Finding the tunnel will not only lead to the second level below, but also allow you to cross the first level and travel to the assessment space in other time periods.

"So from the very beginning... you even planned the timing."

Li Ming looked at Ling Wu.

Therefore, his choice to bring them together to the pre-death assessment space at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) was also purposeful.

"If you are interested, I can take you to the second level."

Ling Wu smiled and said, "However... the further you go, the more brutal the pre-death assessment space becomes."

"The way to pass the first level is to gain superpowers."

"But things below the second level are far from that simple."

Anyway, the further you go, the more brutal it becomes.

Ultimately, this so-called pre-death assessment space is nothing but hell.

It's Death's playground!

Upon hearing Ling Wu's words, Li Ming and the others exchanged glances.

Then they all shook their heads: "Forget it, in the real world, the country needs us, so... it's better for us to leave after we get our superpowers."

After all, starting from the second level, time is no longer equivalent to the present world.

Who knows when they'll be able to return to the real world alive once they enter the second level?

In the present world, many countries are now trying to create superpowered individuals.

The world order could change dramatically at any time.

Therefore, they cannot wait; they should return to the present world as soon as possible.

Whether or not to enter again in the future depends on the situation!

Hearing this, Ling Wu simply smiled and did not offer any further advice.

When the time comes... they will naturally choose to go with me.

"So, what level is my sister in now? Or is she in the assessment space of the first level at a different time?"

At this moment, Jiang Luo spoke up and asked.

"Of course, we're already down there now."

Ling Wu smiled and continued, "She's very clever; perhaps... she's already reached the ninth level!"

Li Ming and the others were all deep in thought.

The first level is already cruel enough and difficult enough for ordinary people to pass.

The further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

It's hard to imagine just how much ability it would take to break through the nine layers of the pre-death assessment space.

It's hard to imagine how powerful someone who passed all the tests before their death in the Ninefold Realm would be.

"According to you, the number of people who can go to the second level or below should be far fewer than the number of people who can return to the present world through the first level of the pre-death assessment space."

Li Qingxue then asked, "If there are too few people, how can we keep clearing levels?"

"few?"

Ling Wu smiled and said, "There are seven billion people in the world, and everyone will eventually die."

"And this so-called seven billion is just the current figure!"

How many people have lived in human history to this day?

"Everyone will die, and everyone will enter the pre-death assessment space."

"Although in any given era, very few people can reach the second level or below."

"But with such a long history, the actual amount is not as little as you might imagine."

Very few people know that there is a second level to the pre-death assessment space and are able to go to levels below the second level.

But with such a long history of humankind, the total amount must be quite substantial.

"So... the pre-death assessment space has existed from the very beginning?" Li Ming and the others were somewhat surprised.

"Nature has existed since the beginning."

Ling Wu replied with a smile, "If we go to the pre-death assessment space below, we might even meet Qin Shi Huang, Zhuge Liang, Newton, Einstein, or something like that..."

In any case, someone who has completely disappeared from the mortal world without even a corpse may have gone directly to a deeper part of the pre-death assessment space.

In fact, some corpses in the world are not actually the bodies of the deceased.

Some historical figures, in particular, were fond of substituting one thing for another.

Li Ming and the others narrowed their eyes slightly. So... that's quite a lot.

Ling Wu took another sip of beer, then said to Jiang Luo, "Cook up a few dishes."

"oh."

Jiang Luo nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

For over a year in the mortal world, she lived with Ling Wu.

As for cooking and housework, that's usually her job.

"So... what are your plans now?"

Li Ming also came over and sat on the sofa: "What method can we use to pass the level the fastest?"

As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of beer, opened it, and started drinking it.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."

Ling Wu replied with a smile, "As long as you eat well and sleep well, that's fine."

He has already broadcast it throughout the city; what will happen next is obvious.

Soon, he will be able to obtain a complete set of chess pieces.

……

Soon, Jiang Luo had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

The group sat together and began their first dinner in the pre-death assessment space.

It must be admitted that Jiang Luo was not entirely useless.

At the very least, she's a good cook; the dishes she makes are probably something no one else here could ever make...

After the meal, everyone went to sleep to recharge.

Ling Wu arrived at the first room on the far side.

The interior was clean and tidy, with nothing superfluous and nothing unnecessary.

"This room used to be where my sister slept."

Jiang Luo walked in from behind, seemingly intending to actually share a room and bed with Ling Wu.

"There's also a journal left by my older sister here."

She then walked to the desk and opened the cabinet.

He took out a small notebook from inside and handed it to Ling Wu.

Ling Wu took the notebook and began to read it.

It was indeed filled with Jiang Liao's handwriting; it was definitely left behind by her.

Ling Wu immediately sat down at his desk and began to read.

"Brother-in-law, I just brought back a really sexy and pretty nightgown from the supermarket. Do you want me to wear it for you?"

Jiang Luo frantically probed from the side.

Ling Wu didn't answer her question at all, but just looked at the notes left by Jiang Liao.

"I'll take a shower now and change for you. But you're not allowed to peek while I'm showering and changing my dress, okay?"

Jiang Luo took Ling Wu's silence as consent, then turned and went to the bathroom.

Soon, she finished showering, changed into her nightgown, and came out.

A very form-fitting ice silk nightgown, with delicate ice silk straps hanging on both shoulders, perfectly showcasing her slender and fair skin.

Beneath the thin nightgown, her figure, though not voluptuous, possessed a shapely and alluring charm.

Her slender, long legs were exposed, and she was barefoot.

She certainly looks like a young and alluring beauty.

Unfortunately, she had just come out of the bathroom and was staring at Ling Wu, who was engrossed in reading his notes, with a resentful look on her face.

She pouted slightly, muttering to herself, "Damn it, he really didn't peek."

"What an oblivious and boring guy. No wonder your name is Ling Wu..."

Although she was thinking this to herself, she still smiled and walked up to him.

"Ta-da, isn't it pretty?"

She walked over to Ling Wu and turned around: "It even has a bit of a body-hugging effect, actually I'm quite well-endowed."

Unfortunately, Ling Wu still didn't even glance at her.

She became even angrier.

Damn it, do you think your lousy notebook is prettier than mine?

After her attempts to take the initiative failed, she could only mutter helplessly, "You're always like this, it's so boring..."

She gave a soft hum, then turned and jumped into bed to sleep.

It was obvious that this wasn't the first time she had taken the initiative in front of Ling Wu.

When she lived with Ling Wu before, she even wore a white silk maid outfit.

Unfortunately, she failed to seduce him every time.

It seems that in Ling Wu's heart, there is only her sister, not her.

But his own sister has already accepted his marriage to her, so how can he just stand by and do it?

Does this mean that he won't touch her until he's sure if his sister is still alive?
