Chapter 648 The first and last day
"No... I'm not dead... I'm still alive..." Chu He screamed in horror, his hands still touching his body, as if trying to confirm whether he was really dead.
Liuyun was unusually bold. He stretched out his hand and tugged at Chu He's face, saying in disbelief, "He's clearly a normal, living person. How could he be dead?"
Zhou Wen couldn't tell how Chu He looked like a dead person. Everything about his body was normal, including his heartbeat and body temperature. Apart from the fact that his thinking seemed a little slow, he couldn't tell how he looked like a dead person.
But if Chu He was not dead, it would be hard to explain why he had entered Huangquan City so long ago, but still said that he had entered Huangquan City today.
"If you are not afraid that his soul will be torn apart and disappear forever between heaven and earth, then take him out of the city." The Lord of Huangquan City said, and actually made way.
"Can we really leave?" Liuyun looked at the Lord of Huangquan City with distrust.
After years of struggling in society, he naturally understood that people's words could not be trusted. What's more, the person who said this was a dimensional creature and the master of the underworld. This was real nonsense.
"As long as he is not afraid of his soul being torn apart, he can just walk out of Huangquan City." The Lord of Huangquan City said lightly.
"Professor Chu, what do you think? Do you want to go out with us?" Liuyun looked at Chu He and asked.
"I want to go out. I'm not dead." Chu He said quickly.
Zhou Wen looked at the Lord of Huangquan City and asked, "We both entered Huangquan City, why are we not dead, but Professor Chu He is?"
The Lord of Huangquan City seemed very patient. He glanced at Zhou Wen and replied, "When you entered the city, Huangquan Ghost Gate made it very clear. No one can violate the three iron laws of Huangquan City. Since he didn't make it out alive that day, he must be dead."
"I'm not dead... I'm really not dead... Don't believe him... Take me away..." Chu He's eyes were red and his mental state was very unstable.
This is not Chu He's fault. If anyone suddenly hears someone say that he is dead, and says it in a very serious manner, others will almost believe it and become as nervous as Chu He.
"Professor Chu, don't worry, I believe you. Come out of the city with us." Liuyun patted Chu He's shoulder and said.
Although Zhou Wen had doubts in his heart, he had no way to confirm whether Chu He was really dead. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Chu He and said, "Professor Chu, whether you want to leave here or not is up to you."
"I'll go with you. I'm really not a dead person." Chu He said repeatedly.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Wen stared at the Lord of Huangquan City and moved towards the portal formed by the Huangquan Throne.
Chu He and Liu Yun followed Zhou Wen and walked out of the gate together. At the same time, they were cautious about the Lord of Huangquan City and were ready to fight at any time.
But the Lord of Huangquan City just stood aside and watched, with no intention of stopping them.
The sun was shining brightly in the desert outside, and outside the Yellow Springs Throne was bright sunshine, but inside the Yellow Springs Throne, it seemed gloomy and dark, with thick shadows.
Liuyun walked in front, stepped out first, and stood in the desert sunlight.
Zhou Wen walked at the back, always on guard against the Lord of Huangquan City, but the Lord of Huangquan City did not move at all, just looking at them coldly.
Chu He stood in the shadow, only one step away from the desert and sunlight.
Chu He was a little hesitant. Although he felt that he was definitely not dead, the Lord of Huangquan City was very sure of what he said. Moreover, Zhou Wen and Liuyun said that he had been in Huangquan City for a long time, which made him a little scared.
"I'm definitely not dead... I'm definitely not dead..." Chu He gritted his teeth, stretched out his palm, and first stretched his palm towards the sunlight.
When his fingertips just touched the sunlight, a blue light suddenly appeared, and the extended fingertips actually disintegrated and disappeared in the blue light.
"Ah... How could this happen..." Chu He screamed and retracted his hand, his face full of disbelief and despair.
Zhou Wen's face changed slightly. He stretched out his hand and put it into the sunlight. There was no problem. He just felt that the temperature outside was very high and the sunlight was a little hot, but it was still within an acceptable range.
"Professor Chu, try to stretch out your hand again." Zhou Wen stood in the shadow of the Yellow Springs Throne, keeping his hand in the sunlight, and said to Chu He.
Chu He quickly stretched out his hand again, but when his fingertips touched the sunlight, they were instantly disintegrated.
"Impossible... I can't be dead... Impossible... I still have to go back to see my family... My wife and daughter are waiting for me..." Chu He collapsed on the ground, his voice sad, tears streaming down his face.
Zhou Wen didn't know what to do for a moment. He couldn't bear to see Chu He's current state, so he looked at the Lord of Huangquan City and asked, "If he doesn't leave, what will happen in the future?"
The Lord of Huangquan City said calmly, "He accepts punishment day after day, dies day after day. Every day from now on will be his first day and last day, until his soul reaches absolute purity."
Zhou Wen thought of the other people on the long street. Their conditions were much more serious than Chu He's. It seemed that what the Lord of Huangquan City said was true.
"What happens next?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Who knows? If you are interested, you can stay and give it a try." The Lord of Huangquan City looked at Zhou Wen with a smile.
Zhou Wen looked at Chu He, not knowing what to say.
"Zhou Wen, can you do me a favor?" Chu He wiped away his tears and looked at Zhou Wen and said.
"You tell me, as long as I can do it." Zhou Wen said.
"Please go home for me. If possible, please take care of my wife and daughter. When they are in trouble, help them to the best of your ability. I don't have anything on me to repay you now. I only have some research on Niya civilization, which is all I have. If you don't mind, just consider it my reward to you." Chu He handed Zhou Wen the information in his backpack, many of which were his handwritten notes.
"Don't worry, I will take care of them." Zhou Wen took the information and nodded seriously in promise.
Even if Chu He didn't say it, Zhou Wen would go to Chu He's house. He still had to figure out the real Chu He.
"Don't tell them I'm here. They've been sad once, so don't make them sad a second time." Chu He said to Zhou Wen again.
"I know what to do." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Let's go, don't look back." Chu He said somewhat disheartened.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the Yellow Springs Throne.
"Next time you have a chance to come again, you can try to endure all the punishments, then you will see the real Huangquan City." The moment Zhou Wen walked out of the Huangquan Throne, he suddenly heard the voice of the Huangquan City Lord.
But he had already walked out, and when he looked back, there was endless yellow sand behind him, with no trace of the Yellow Springs Throne or the Yellow Springs City, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
