Chapter 130: Piggy

After walking across the city wall and arriving in Fengdu City, Gu Ji was shocked by the scene inside.

She had often heard the word cyberpunk when she occasionally surfed the Internet and had seen similar pictures, but nothing had shocked her as much as seeing it with her own eyes.

Here, ancient and modern buildings complement each other.

There are horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, cars, and even people in wheelchairs on the streets.

There's a weird, eerie feeling to it.

A ghost flying in the sky.

The ghost who wanted to avoid the ghost catcher and didn't want to be reincarnated flew while screaming, but was still caught by the ghost catcher in uniform.

The uniforms are even similar to those of the police, and each of the ghost officers here is at least two meters tall, with long legs and long arms, and wearing a mask. To use the words on the Internet, they are: handsome guys with an atmospheric feel.

The two walked forward and stopped at the platform.

"It's quite far to go to Wangchuan, so let's take a car." Wuwang said.

"And a special car?"

"Well, you can think of it as a subway. Even though it's not underground, the whole city is underground anyway, so there's nothing wrong with calling it a subway."

Gu Ji sighed.

She thought the underworld was eerie and scary.

But I didn't expect there were so many residents here.

Generally, after death, humans also have a certain period of life in the underworld. The money, houses, or other things that humans burn for them can be exchanged for currency.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if no one burns paper money, you can continue to work like a cow or a horse to make money.

From this perspective, death doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

As I was looking around, a figure suddenly rushed towards me.

Gu Ji stumbled back two steps in pain. Before he could stand still, he heard a very surprised voice say, "It's that child!"

These words are like pressing the pause button on time.

The vehicles that were originally flowing around and the ghosts that were minding their own business raised their heads almost in an instant.

Countless eyes turned to Gu Ji, their expressions filled with surprise, ecstasy, and anticipation.

Those complicated emotions made Gu Ji a little confused.

But soon his head was hugged by Wuwang and his whole body was stuffed into the car. The car was driving at high speed, and the ghosts outside the window were still looking into the car.

It wasn't until the vehicle started speeding that those sights finally disappeared.

She looked at Wuwang: "Those people... no, those ghosts..."

"You're a celebrity, if you don't leave soon you won't be able to leave."

"ha?"

"You should have guessed who your parents are, right?"

Gu Ji nodded, "Yes, the Ghost Emperor of the Southwest."

"Back then, when these two got married, it was one of the few joyous and positive events in our underworld, which is known for its heavy yin energy. Then you were born. Although none of us had ever seen you, we all knew you existed. Then, your parents disappeared while suppressing the Northern Ghost Emperor, and you disappeared too. In fact, we searched for you for many years, but we couldn't find you. There was a barrier set up around Xialu Village."

Speaking of this, Wuwang felt a little guilty and heartbroken, "We didn't know you had suffered so much. Later, the little pig who protected you came to the underworld and tried many ways to contact the staff of Yama Palace. Only then did we know your exact location."

As she spoke, she didn't dare to look into Gu Ji's eyes.

Whenever she thought of what Gu Ji had gone through, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

The princess who should have been loved by everyone was forced to be locked up in a dirty pigsty for so many years.

But she has always been very kind, like a little sun.

Gu Ji reached out his hand, cupped Wuwang's face, and let her look into his eyes. "The past is all in the past. Have you ever heard the saying, 'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger?' I'm already very, very lucky. You've been looking for me and haven't given up on me. I'm still alive, I'm not dead. My parents are amazing, and so are you. There are many people in this world who are like Lingyan, or even worse than her. They were children abandoned by their families and died in the prime of their youth."

"If I keep dwelling on the pain of the past, I'll never be able to move forward. I don't want that, Sister Wuwang. I think that the moment you saved me from the brink of death, you must have wanted me to work hard to grow, right?"

It’s not that she hasn’t been entangled and suffered.

But she didn't want to be sad.

Suffering can be the nourishment that encourages a person, but it can also be the shackles that trap a person.

She didn't want to stay there with those bad memories.

Because compared to the pain she had before, she now has more happiness.

After saying this, Wuwang's eyes were already filled with tears, and his face was full of expression: I feel heartbroken by your words.

Gu Ji: “…”

How can she explain it to make others believe that she really doesn't care about the past at all?

She now has goals and motivation, and is happy every day.

Moreover, although those ghosts were staring at her, they had no ill intentions, so she did not reject them.

The vehicle quickly left Fengdu City, and as soon as it left the city, a thick fog hit it in the face.

The thick fog is mixed with resentment, gloom and anger.

There were terrifying screams in my ears, but no ghosts were seen.

In the fog, there is a bloody scene looming.

Wuwang explained: "Want to see? This is the entrance to hell. You see those who don't want to go to hell are trying to run away, but it's obvious that they are running out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of withered hands stretched out from the thick fog and suddenly pulled the car door.

A ferocious face pressed against the window and yelled frantically: "Save me! Take me with you! Please!!!"

The car door wouldn't open.

The evil ghost's initial begging immediately turned into an angry and resentful look: "I will kill you! I will kill - ah!!!"

The ghost catcher hooked the ghost's eyes with an iron hook, and the evil ghost was dragged into the thick fog again.

After the screams, everything returned to calm.

After passing through the thick fog, they came to a very wide bridge.

The water under the bridge is rushing.

That is Huangquan.

This bridge is obviously the Yellow Springs Road.

All around are people on the road to the underworld.

Most of the people were talking and laughing, they knew they were just heading to the next stage of their journey, but there were also some people with sad faces, looking back from time to time, as if they were trying to find the person they were thinking of in the crowd.

"Xiaoxiao, how long have you been here?" Xiaoxiao is the name Gu Ji gave to the piglet.

Her eyes searched the Yellow Springs Road, but found nothing.

Xiaoxiao is very afraid of the dark, and I don’t know if it will feel uncomfortable or be bullied after staying here for so long.

A smile flashed across Wuwang's eyes. "It's been a long time, but the flow of time in the underworld is different from that in the human world. It's just..."

"How are you doing?"

Wuwang curled his lips: "You'll know later, eh——"

Gu Ji suddenly became nervous, "Why are you sighing? Is Xiao Xiao having a hard time? Yeah, it's just a little pig. Even though it has intelligence, it's still just a little pig. Is someone bullying it? It's very well behaved..."

The vehicle stopped.

Gu Ji's voice stopped abruptly.

In her eyes, she saw a pink pig wiggling its butt.

Wearing a sparkly little dress.

The moment he turned around, Gu Ji was almost blinded by the crown on the piglet's head.
