Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Are you sure this is the underworld?

I've always wondered why traveling to and from the Underworld is so convenient; it turns out the Demon-Sealing Tower and the River Styx are connected. It was Hong Kui who spoke.

Xiaoru looked at the River Styx before her, her eyes shining, and said:

There are lots of delicious things in this.

Lin Yaoxie frowned and said:

Should we swim there?

As Lin Yaoxie spoke, he saw something thrown into the water from the shore. Judging from the sound, the Styx River didn't seem to be very deep.

Hongkui lifted her feet off the ground, put her hands behind her head, and said:

"Brother Lin is really naive. If the River Styx were so easy to cross, all the wandering ghosts and lonely souls in the underworld would have disappeared long ago."

5.3 Lin Yaoxie asked in confusion:

"The water doesn't seem very deep, and it shouldn't be too difficult to swim to the other side."

Huan Ye couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"The waters of the River Styx are stagnant; nothing can float on them and..."

Lin Yaoxie was about to ask a few more questions when he saw Xiaoru take out a few bamboo poles from her backpack, place them on the water, and blow on them to turn them into a bamboo raft.

Longkui glanced coldly at Huanye and said:

"Except for thatch and bamboo."

Xiaoru, Lin Yaoxie, Xuejian, Longkui Huanye, and the goldfish spirit girl they met on the second floor all boarded the bamboo raft.

Lin Yaoxie asked:

Xiaoru, why did you prepare so much bamboo?

Xiaoru said:

"It's used to start a fire. It's just one stick, but we can never use it all up."

Chapter 100 Styx Party

Huan Ye saw Xiao Ru had set up the stove, and took out the demon-absorbing altar from his waist, saying:

"How can there be delicious food without wine?"

Huan Ye poured the wine into the bamboo tube, and immediately the aroma filled the air. Xiao Ru, however, didn't stand on ceremony and cheerfully said:

"Your broken bird may be tough and hard to cook, but it does have some flavor in the wine."

Night Call:

"As long as you're no longer locked in a hat, you can have as much wine as you want."

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but move closer and say:

There was wine and meat, but the lack of staple food didn't spoil the experience too much.

As he spoke, Lin Yaoxie took out a few white rice balls from his bag, which he had shamelessly begged from Qianqian when he left the Demon Locking Tower.

Xiaoru's eyes lit up when she saw the rice ball, and she snatched it into the steamer, saying:

"The rice ball from that short-lived fellow is really good. I'll reward you with a big piece of meat later."

Xuejian looked at her surroundings, searched for a long time but only found some herbs, and kicked Lin Yaoxie away, saying:

"Move aside, these cordyceps might taste better in the soup."

The group of people on the bamboo raft were happily waiting for Xiaoru's cooking, while only Ling was at the stern with her feet in the water, occasionally splashing a few drops.

Lin Yaoxie took a rice ball and handed it to Ling Guniang. Ling Guniang took out a handkerchief from her bosom, inside which were several pieces of candy. Ling Guniang looked for a long time and finally found the smallest piece of candy and handed it to Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie shook his hand. Judging from the appearance of the candy, it was at least several years old. Although it was wrapped in a handkerchief, it was still covered in dust.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie did not accept it, Ling Guniang happily put away the sesame candy and ate the rice ball that Lin Yaoxie had given her in big bites.

Xuejian asked, somewhat puzzled:

Why did you bring her out?

Lin Yaoxie pointed at Xiaoru and said:

"Her idea was probably that she was worried about not having enough food on the road, and that she could at least have a goldfish to eat in case of emergency."

Xiaoru glared coldly at Lin Yaoxie and said:

"Goldfish don't taste as good as humans."

Lin Yaoxie stuck out his tongue, not daring to say anything more. Huan Ye walked to Lin Yaoxie's side and asked:

"What was that comfortable and quick way to die that you mentioned before?"

Lin Yaoxie smiled mysteriously and said:

"you guess?"

Huan Ye said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have used this." As he spoke, Huan Ye shook the object in his hand. Lin Yaoxie took a closer look and secretly groaned in his heart. What Huan Ye was holding was the gold thread that he had used when he made the agreement with Qianqian.

Lin Yaoxie asked:

How did you get this?

Night Call:

"You underestimate the wisdom of demons. Do you think that Qianqian's promise to Qianqian is null and void just because she escaped from the Demon Locking Tower?"

Lin Yaoxie was speechless for a moment. He thought that after escaping the Demon Locking Tower, he would never see Qianqian again, and that what he gave Qianqian was just an empty promise. But he did not expect that Qianqian would give the golden silk to Huanye.

Lin Yaoxie asked:

When did she give it to you?

Night Call:

"The timing isn't important; what's important is that you now have two choices. The first is to tell me about the painful yet pleasurable way of dying you described before, or..."

Lin Yaoxiedao:

"I choose either."

Huan Ye said, "You're really boring. Or maybe I haven't made up my mind yet."

Just as Huan Ye finished speaking, a gasp came from the front of the bamboo raft. It turned out that everyone had crossed the River Styx and arrived in the real ghost realm.

The sky in the underworld is always dark. Lin Yaoxie and the others didn't know how long they had been walking. Xuejian finally couldn't take it anymore and said:

"I'm so tired, let's find a place to rest."

Lin Yaoxiedao:

"This is the underworld. Are there any inns or similar places for us to rest?"

Xuejian sighed, "Being a ghost is really tough. I can't rest even after walking for so long."

Hongkui disagreed, saying:

"They really haven't seen much of the world. They see a camel and think it's a horse's back swelling."

Lin Yaoxie, knowing that Longkui had long resided in the underworld, asked Hongkui for guidance:

"Does the ghost realm also have inns?"

Hongkui said, "Although you haven't seen it, haven't you heard of the Wangchuan Inn?"

After resting for a day at the Wangchuan Inn, the largest chain inn in the Ghost Realm, Lin Yaoxie inquired with the innkeeper:

Shopkeeper, do you know how to bring someone back to life?

The shopkeeper said, "Young master, you are joking. Have you not heard the saying, 'Since ancient times, the River of Oblivion has been filled with withered bones, and one should not look back on the road to the Yellow Springs'? Since you have come from the River of Oblivion, there is probably no need for you to go back."

The shopkeeper spoke, tapping away on his abacus, and said amiably:

"A total of one thousand three hundred and twenty-four coins."

Lin Yaoxie took out a silver ingot from his bag, and was about to say that he didn't need to keep the change, when he heard the shopkeeper say:

"Young master, this is money from the living world. It's just worthless paper here. We need ghost money."

Lin Yaoxie looked at the silver ingot in his hand and exclaimed in surprise:

"Not even silver?"

The shopkeeper explained, "What would we do with something so heavy? We're all ghosts now, why would we need money like that?"

Fearing that Lin Yaoxie might not understand, the shopkeeper specially took out some paper money and copper coins that were commonly found in cemeteries.

Lin Yaoxiedao:

"Wait a minute, I'll go back to my room to get it."

Lin Yaoxie returned to his room and saw Xuejian and the others eating the breakfast that the waiter had brought. The breakfast in the underworld was not much different from that in the mortal world; it was just ordinary breakfast such as soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Lin Yaoxie asked Long Kui, somewhat embarrassed:

Do you... have any ghost money?

Hongkui said unhappily, "I've been dead for a thousand years, how could anyone burn money for me?"

Lin Yaoxie frowned and said:

"This is troublesome. Does anyone have any ghost money?"

Xuejian said, "Pah, pah, pah, are you cursing us to die?"

Helpless, Lin Yaoxie turned his gaze to Xiaoru and said:

"Miss Xiaoru, could you lend me some ghost money? I'll definitely burn lots for you when I get back."

Lin Yaoxie remembered that Xiaoru had said before that she was a god of the underworld. Since she was an official in the underworld, she should at least have some underworld currency.

Xiaoru held half a fried dough stick in her hand and mumbled:

What is ghost money?

Lin Yaoxie immediately sensed something was wrong and secretly called the system several times, but his own system seemed to be out of service and did not respond for a long time.
