Chapter 83 Hell Community

In the Hell Community, it is not uncommon for ghosts to be wanted. The main reason is that most of the ghosts in this copy did not enter here on their own initiative, but were captured inexplicably.

Among the many strange dungeons in Infinite Highway, only the Hell Community is harsher to ghosts than to humans.

At least humans won’t have all kinds of sin numbers carved on their bodies as soon as they come in.

However, it is rare for a player to have a wanted warrant.

Qiao Song had previously speculated that the players who would be put on wanted posters would be those who escaped during the punishment process.

It is very likely that A Yue escaped the punishment for failing the game through some method, so he was put on the wanted list.

Ever since he saw the paper, A Yue's expression changed instantly: "Why do you have this? No... do you know me! Or do you know Chu Wen?"

Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao are not using their original faces now, otherwise A Yue would have run eight hundred meters away. He never dared to use his skills in front of acquaintances as it would easily cause trouble, not to mention that these two people have seen his girlfriend.

But it was too late to regret, Qiao Song had already forced the people back to the corner of the store.

"So your girlfriend's name is Chu Wen?"

As soon as these words came out, A Yue's face turned green, and he instantly realized that he should not have said what he said in a hurry.

Qiao Song held up his collar and said, "If I remember correctly, I'll take you to the Scissors Salon on the second floor. You can probably get a bounty of 1,000 soul coins. I just don't know if your girlfriend Chu Wen is still here. If she is, can you keep your fingers?"

A Yue swallowed his saliva, he was not afraid of seeing Chu Wen. After all, with his ability and long-term brainwashing, the other party would probably just cry for a while and be coaxed into submission soon. But he could not return to the scissor hell because he had indeed committed the corresponding crime.

The fact that the woman knew this was proof enough that she had been to the second floor.

Qiao Song also found it funny. This man had no acting skills and no brains. He must have lived to this day by relying on gigolos.

"Are you on the second level of the wanted list because you harmed your girlfriend Chu Wen, or is it because she protected you from disaster? After all, the judgment of the second level of the Scissor Hell is betrayal of your lover, and ten fingers will be cut off. Chu Wen's moral value should be higher than yours."

Qiao Song looked at his hand without disguising his expression: "You let your girlfriend help you bear the punishment that belongs to you, so you are wanted?"

A Yue's expression became increasingly ugly, and he almost thought that the other party had guessed his skills:

"What do you want to do? Chu Wen probably doesn't have a friend like you, nor does he have any good props or enough soul coins. How about this, you name a price, let me live, and we'll all -"

Qiao Song suddenly grabbed his hair and pressed his face against the wall, saying in a cold tone: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me. I ask questions and you answer them."

A trace of shame flashed in A Yue's eyes. He rarely suffered such a loss at the hands of a woman, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He squeezed his deformed face and immediately smiled apologetically: "Ask, ask."

"So many people are fleeing from the bottom to the top. What is going on down there?"

A Yue's eyes rolled around, and before he could say anything, he felt a sharp touch on his neck.

Tang Xiaoxiao took a table knife from Clockwork Cat and handed it directly to Qiao Song, then took out a card with his left hand.

Old players should all recognize the card with an eye on it. It is the [Lie Identification Card], which was the prop card that Tang Xiaoxiao and Qiao Song bought at the Rule Convenience Store earlier.

The girl held the card in her left hand and the knife in her right hand, and warned him quietly: "You'd better tell the truth."

Feeling the cold touch on his neck, A-Yue: ...

Why are girls these days so tough?

"Something unexpected happened on the bottom few levels. It seems that the hell system has collapsed. Now the game area and the hell punishment area are scattered. Players don't dare to stay on the bottom level. It is said that they will be treated the same as ghosts and will be caught directly in the game for trial."

Qiao Song frowned: "The game area and the punishment area are separated?"

Each level of the Hell Community is divided into a shop game area and a punishment area.

Generally speaking, as long as players buy things in the store or participate in mini-games, they will not be at risk of being punished by hell until they fail the game.

But the ghosts with numbers written on their bodies cannot even approach the related buildings.

The bandaged ghost that Qiao Song caught had the number 6 on his body, so Qiao Song put that guy into the puppet thread after passing the fifth floor. Otherwise, according to him, the moment he stepped into the 6th floor, the wanted poster would glow directly, allowing all passers-by to notice the guy next to Qiao Song who was wanted by the 6th floor.

Therefore, being collected into the puppet thread is actually a good thing for the bandaged ghost.

The gaming area was a safeguard to prevent innocent players, as well as players who had passed the game, from falling in, but now that safeguard is gone.

If the penalty area and the game are separated now, then everyone will be at risk of being dragged in.

While A Yue was speaking, one could still see a steady stream of people rising outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant.

Qiao Song quickly put the clues together and thought: "In other words, players are now at risk of being dragged into the penalty area at any time? No wonder they all want to clock out and leave here."

A Yue responded hastily: "If the whole hell is in chaos, I'm afraid all the players will be treated the same as the ghosts and be directly sent to hell to suffer. So what players should do now is to check in as much as possible. Look, I have said everything I should say. Otherwise, you can let me go. You are in a hurry to check in."

As he said this, his lips stuttered, as if he was thinking of the various bizarre punishments in hell.

The only advantage for players entering the Hell Community is that they can choose to play small games first. As long as you have not committed the crime corresponding to this level, you don’t have to worry about being punished after failing the game.

In other words, anyone who has committed a lot of evil will face a serious threat of punishment if they fail in the game.

This is also in line with what Gao Chengcheng said at the beginning, that this is a copy suitable for players with good luck and decent strength.

But now the gaming sessions for the Hell community members have been omitted. After the underlying system collapsed, players can’t even play the game and are in danger of being dragged directly into the penalty area.

Qiao Song always felt that something was not right.

"What about the game managers?" Shouldn't the game managers be very anxious when there are problems with the game? For example, the clockwork cat, the owner of the oil pan hell, was so anxious that he called on the players for help.

The Hell community is so small, there are not many places for ghosts to stay, and where can the managers hide?

A Yue was also dumbfounded. How could he know about such a person of manager level?

"Should they have escaped? It is said that those managers disappeared as soon as the game had problems."

The clockwork cat, who had been watching the show nearby, suddenly snorted coldly.

"I know there are many cowards on each floor. Because of the bad things they did in the past, they are afraid of being punished by the owner of the Hell Community. But not all of them would flee at the critical moment. Our store owner signed a soul contract before coming to work. This time he was obviously attacked. It seems that some of you players have teamed up with the external boss to fight for management rights by prying the door. You are so bold that you even dare to attack the Hell Community."

Qiao Song was stunned, and then he thought of the information Tang Xiaoxiao got yesterday, that the owner of the Hell Community was not in a good condition. Combined with what Clockwork Cat said, why did it feel like this Hell Community was a bit like Hearse Entertainment?

The difference is that Hearse Entertainment is an incomplete copy that has been interfered with by external forces, while Hell Community is a copy that is being divided.

Are there players teaming up with foreign BOSS?

While Qiao Song was recalling some clues, Clockwork Cat had already put away the spatula used to start the game. The former good friend was now rusty and obviously could not be used a second time.

"The game is over. You have successfully clocked in, so please get out. It will be difficult to open this instance again in a short period of time. However, if you want to come in with the door, you can still do so."

Clockwork Cat pointed at Qiao Song with his bony little hands: "Don't forget what we agreed on. I'll be waiting for you to come back here."

Qiao Song took a strange clockwork mouse thrown by the guy.

This should be the token that the clockwork cat mentioned, which should be given to the carpenter on the 18th floor.

Qiao Song looked at the bracelet of mini wine bottles on his left hand, then looked at the new clockwork mouse, and the baton at his waist.

As a night security guard, is she taking on too much work?

Qiao Song put away these things and pulled out the baton.

When A Yue saw that he was tied up with several ropes, he immediately felt something was wrong: "I have said everything I need to say, what else do you want to do!"

Qiao Song turned his gaze and looked at the other two people in the corner of the store who had also passed the level and obtained the props but had not left.

"You two, do you want to make some extra money?"

Fang Wan originally wanted to take Lao Zhao and run away after the game was over, but some intuition urged her to stay and watch the torture process of the two girls for a while.

She pushed her glasses up embarrassedly, feeling that she had gotten some information for nothing.

"Well, we didn't mean to stay here. There are too many people outside. We need to think about where to check in later. Tell me what's going on."

Qiao Song lifted up A Yue, who had been punched twice by her and had no ability to resist anymore.

"Move this guy to the second floor. It should be exchanged for 1,000 soul coins. Do you want it?"

The tone of his voice was as if he was treating the man under his command as some lottery ticket to be redeemed for prizes.

The middle-aged man next to him, who always kept his head down, remained silent, but Fang Wan, who was holding a digital tablet in his hand, was quite angry.

"Of course, no problem. This scumbag should go back to the second floor to receive the punishment he deserves!"

However, she felt a little embarrassed to get 1,000 soul coins for free. After all, it was no secret that wanted warrants could be exchanged for money.

"How about this, let's leave our contact information, and then I'll exchange this thing for soul coins and return half to you."

Qiao Song thought about it for a while and nodded. He didn’t care about the 500 soul coins. He just wanted to reassure the two people. After all, pie in the sky always makes people feel uneasy.

As for Qiao Song, it would be best if someone could take A Yue to the second floor. After all, she and Tang Xiaoxiao still have to explore further down tonight and don't have time to bring along such a burden who is always looking for trouble.

As a woman, Fang Wan treated A Yue very badly, as if she was afraid that he would use his strange charm skills on her, so she put a big paper bag on his head and drew a lifelike turtle on the front to show her righteousness.

He is indeed an artist and painter.

Fang Wan put away the marker and turned to Qiao Song and said, "Most of what this guy said before is true. We escaped from the 12th floor. Now the streets on every floor below are beginning to collapse. If you want to go down, you'd better hurry, otherwise there will be no road left when you return."

Qiao Song thought about it and roughly described the situation on the upper floors, helping the photo retoucher and the urban planner next door to select some stores suitable for checking in.

After exchanging information, the two parties decided to set off separately.

Qiao Song looked down from the 9th floor and could indeed vaguely see that the road was beginning to crack. Looking at the handmade meatball shop on the 10th floor of Niukeng Hell, even the sign seemed to be a little crooked.

"Xiao Xiao, you still have five stores to check in, right? See if you can complete all the tasks tonight and get out early."

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded. Although she spent most of the first day in the apartment looking for clues, she successfully passed the first level of tongue pulling, the second level of scissors, the seventh level of knife mountain and the ninth level of oil pan hell.

Qiao Song has even checked in at 6 stores, but since she applied for a security position, she had no choice but to check in at all the stores or stay in the dungeon for 7 days before leaving.

"Then what will you do, Sister Qiao Song?"

Things are going wrong in hell right now, and some shops are even preparing to close, so it seems that the difficulty of checking in at all the shops has increased dramatically.

"I'm fine. I've already cleared that store before the Hell of Evil Mirror was closed. Checking in at all the stores is not an impossible task for me. If it doesn't work, I can just stay a few more days. Now that all the players are crowding up there, we can go to the 9th floor below to take a look."

Gao Chengcheng and her brother are still out of contact. Since the clockwork cat gave them the token, of course they will go directly to the 18th floor.

But compared to the previous times, the process of going down the stairs this time was not so smooth.

It was not easy to walk down against the flow of people, and the spiral staircase went down the street in a spiral manner. Somehow, a large number of cracked scars appeared, as if there was an earthquake.

The name of the 10th floor is [Niukeng Hell], and it is packaged as a hand-made beef ball shop. On the long poster outside the store, there is a scene of a group of cattle galloping.

The things being trampled underneath were full of ghostly shadows. It seemed that the ghosts were being trampled underfoot, and the force of the cow's hooves was used to make meatballs out of them.

The name of this layer is quite suitable, but who are these meatballs sold to?

Tang Xiaoxiao stared at the posters as she walked down, feeling that something was wrong.

"Sister Qiao Song, why do I feel like the glass in this store is about to break..."

Those crowded cattle, each with red eyes, took a few deep breaths and pawed the ground with their front hooves from time to time, looking like they were ready to go.

Qiao Song held the hammer in one hand and tried hard to separate the noisy crowd and move forward. He took a moment to take a look and immediately pulled Tang Xiaoxiao to speed up their pace.

Not long after they left the 10th floor, they heard the sound of glass breaking. Several cows pushed open the glass windows and ran directly onto the road.

Some players among the fleeing crowd immediately reacted and began to defend, but many guys were still pushed directly into the handmade meatball shop by these sudden rushing cattle.

While running away, Qiao Song observed and suddenly found that among the guys being stared at by the herd of cattle, a few had the number 10 flashing on their bodies.

Wait, sin numbers are starting to appear on players too. Isn’t this a treatment only for ghosts?

Fortunately, these cows had no intention of running out of the 10th floor. After going crazy on the street, they jumped back through the broken French windows, bringing at least 6 or 7 players back with them.

Tang Xiaoxiao also took out a book this time, and seemed frightened.

Qiao Song comforted her: "It's okay, the cattle attack should have a purpose. As long as you haven't committed the corresponding crime of the 10th level, there should be no problem passing by this store."

The only problem is that these stores now seem to have broken the existing rules and started to actively solicit customers even when the customers don’t actively come into the store?

The 11th level is called the Stone Pressure Hell, and it looks like a kindergarten. Unlike the strong smell of beef on the 10th level, as soon as you enter the 11th level, you can smell a strong, sweet scent that only milk candy can have.

Qiao Song remembered that this level of hell should punish criminals who harmed babies, so it should be safe for her and Tang Xiaoxiao, but she took a step forward and immediately realized something was wrong.

The steps under my feet began to disperse outwards piece by piece. If before it was just the streets that cracked, now large stone slabs were floating up one by one and turned into leaves on the lake.

In an instant, all the players on the street seemed to step on empty air and suddenly fell into a certain space.

Qiao Song immediately wanted Tang Xiaoxiao to step back, but suddenly he heard a prompt sound -

[Ding, you have entered the Stone Pressure Kindergarten. Please help the crying children find their favorite toys! ]

She frowned and looked around, but didn't see Tang Xiaoxiao. So the collapsed street just now brought them into a different game?

Qiao Song finally understood what it meant for hell to be turned into chaos.

Amidst the chaotic and suffocating cries, Qiao Song saw a group of little kids not far away. These kids had extremely pale skin and wore white masks on their faces with a crying expression drawn with black lines.

"Toys, I want toys!"

Those crowded and noisy white masks, like a bunch of twisted insects, surrounded all the players and made them unable to move.

Some of these children are still the size of babies and can only crawl on the ground with masks on.

Some of them are already two or three years old. The only thing they have in common is that they all look a little silly, and most of them are baby girls.

The children seemed to be made of plasticine, their hands could stretch out freely, fall down, and gather back together to pull the players' clothes.

Amidst the sobbing sounds, an adult woman screamed and fell to the ground. Babies were already crawling all over her, crying for their mother.

"I have never given birth to a child. Get down, get down!"

The middle-aged man who was walking with her and was also pulled in when the road collapsed, also cursed loudly and took out a prop card with a yellow talisman drawn on it.

"Hurry up and follow the command, the filth will be dispersed!"

Babies who died due to accidents would carry particularly heavy resentment. When the golden light brought by the yellow talisman flashed, those babies instantly retreated a lot.

However, the two men did not notice that the shadow under their feet suddenly became thicker.

Qiao Song looked up at the sky and saw a huge stone floating above everyone's head.

Stone Crushing Hell, as the name suggests, once the game fails, the stones above the heads will fall directly and crush all the players to death on the spot.

If you want to pass the game, you have to follow the rules. What's the point of just suppressing these naughty kids?

Qiao Song squatted down, looked at the circle around him, hesitating and wanting to say something, but he did not dare to get close to his children.

"Don't be afraid, come over and tell your aunt what the toy you want looks like."

Maybe it was because their sin and morality values ​​were both very high, but these kids didn’t dare to be as rude to Qiao Song as they were to other players. Instead, after Qiao Song took the initiative to ask, one of the largest kids immediately started crying loudly, as if he had found someone to act cute with, and carefully pulled her clothes.

"The doll is gone. I have to hold it to sleep."

"My little train is gone too! It was a toy my dad gave me."

"And my, my cactus, it's my only little potted plant."

The ghost babies of other players that looked horrible looked extremely aggrieved when they came to Qiao Song. Even the masks on their faces changed into a look that looked as if they were about to cry but not cry.

It was like they had found a teacher to complain to, and they all started accusing the guy who had taken their toys away.

"The thief ran over there, but, but we couldn't defeat him."

Qiao Song looked in the direction the child pointed and saw a corner of the kindergarten.

After everyone entered the game, they landed in the yard of Shiya Kindergarten, where some relatively gentle equipment for children to use was scattered around.

At this time, there is a slide made of an elephant. It looks very strange. There is a huge hole formed in the elephant's leg, as if something is buried inside.

Qiao Song changed to a bigger hammer and asked the frightened children to hide behind him.

"I'll go over and take a look. Are you guys waiting for me here?"

The children all expressed their desire to follow her.

When Qiao Song approached with his hammer, he found that there were already other players there.

An auntie with kind eyes, who looked quite old, was stroking a little girl who was standing next to her and crying. The child's body was covered with scars, and she was crying hard with a white mask on. The more the auntie touched her head to comfort her, the harder she cried, as if she wanted to tell out all the grievances she had suffered in her life.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie will go in and find toys for you. You can play with the cat outside, okay?"

There were cats scattered around the middle-aged woman.

Most of those kittens were missing an ear, had a damaged eye, or had a lame leg. Although they were not good-looking, they were very docile and kept rubbing their tails against the seemingly scary ghost babies around them.

It’s like a little animal that has suffered all kinds of bad things but has been touched by love, and now uses its own method to gently treat another group of little ghosts.

The little ghosts who were surrounded by the furry things were so flattered that they couldn't help but want to cry even more.

Amid the sounds of meowing and crying, as soon as Qiao Song approached, he was rubbed by an orange cat with white hair on its body, which looked very old.

Qiao Song was keenly aware that the cat was not coming to rub against her, but rather guarding the route to where the aunt was.

This is a kitten that guards its owner and is very polite.

"Xiaoju likes you very much. It seems that you are also a kind-hearted child."

A gentle but powerful voice sounded, and the slightly plump aunt stood up and patted her clothes.

"It seems that you are here to help the children around you complete their tasks as well. Then shall we go in together?"

At the same time, on the 12th floor, Tang Xiaoxiao entered the affordable buffet restaurant in Chongjiu Hell. Listening to the game prompt sound beside her ear, she looked at the mountain of hamburgers in front of her and swallowed her saliva.

Lin Xuan was sitting next to her, and at this moment a drop of cold sweat even slid down his forehead.

"Are you sure we really want to finish this? Will we die of fullness after eating it?"

Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao mentioned Lin Xuan, and they had agreed to meet on the 18th floor. However, due to an accident, Qiao Song went to some game, and Tang Xiaoxiao met him on the 12th floor.

Tang Xiaoxiao, who was separated from Qiao Song unexpectedly, was extremely cold at this time. Although she was a little girl, she gave Lin Xuan a very reliable feeling.

"If you waste it, you'll die faster."

Just opposite them, on the other side of the rotating hot pot, the magician had already put on his white gloves. His eyes swept over all the new players who were pulled into the buffet this round, and he turned his head as if he was talking to someone.

"Don't rush me. I will complete what I have to do, and you must keep your promises. This is the basis of cooperation. Ah, I found it."

His gaze turned and finally fell on Lin Xuan's face who was stuffing something into his mouth.

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I fell a few days ago and hit my head on the ground. I was dizzy for a few days. Sorry for the long wait.

10. Niukeng Hell (Handmade Meatball Shop

This is a hell for animals to seek justice. People who kill animals at will and base their happiness on their suffering will be sent to the Bull Pit Hell after death. When you are thrown into the pit, several wild bulls will attack you, butt you with their horns, trample you with their hooves... According to records, there is also a "Knife Boat Hell" which is the opposite of this, but it is not included in the 18 levels of hell.

11. Stone Pressure Hell (Kindergarten

If a person in the world gives birth to a baby, no matter what the reason is, such as the baby is born stupid or disabled, or because of the preference for boys over girls, the baby is drowned or abandoned. After death, this person will be thrown into the Stone Pressure Hell. It is a square stone pool (trough), with a rope hanging a huge stone of the same size, and the person is put into the pool, and the rope is cut with an axe...

12. Mortar Hell (cheap self-service

This hell is quite strange. When you are alive, if you waste food and spoil the grains, for example, you throw away the leftovers from a banquet, or throw away something you don't like after taking a few bites. After you die, you will be sent to the Mortar Hell, where you will be pounded to death in a mortar. What's strange is that if you talk while eating, especially if you use dirty words, obscene language, or curse, you will also be sent to the Mortar Hell after you die. So I remind everyone, it's best not to curse while eating.
