The aura of District 10 was obviously very different from that of the previous nine districts. Bai Ningning looked at the eye-catching red line in front of her, and then at the dark and unbearable ghostly aura inside, and didn't want to go in.
From District 7 onwards, there are very few houses to be seen. In District 8, you can still see some ruins, proving that it was once a residential area in Anliang.
Arriving at the 9th district, it is simply a post-war ruin. The only evidence that there were traces of people living there is the dilapidated walls and the ground of different colors.
The last area after the red line is no different from Shura Hell.
Through the barrier, one can vaguely see the flat wilderness inside, but the black fog is everywhere like miasma.
Bai Ningning quietly took a half step back and asked Qing Huai: "Can you go by yourself? You are such a grown-up... such a big ghost, you shouldn't be afraid to go by yourself?"
Chu Ze couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard that.
It was obvious that the little girl herself was afraid of ghosts, and he had never heard of the King of Hell being afraid of ghosts.
Bai Ningning was a little annoyed: "Why—what's wrong with ordinary people being afraid of ghosts?"
Chu Ze suppressed his laughter: "Sorry, sorry, but didn't you see a lot of ghosts just now? Besides, there was only one ghost following you the whole time, right?"
"That's different—"
Bai Ningning stiffened her neck in rebuttal, but couldn't make any clear point.
Chu Ze smiled and patted her head to comfort her: "Don't worry, I came here to beat them up before. They should be more well-behaved now and won't be difficult to deal with."
Bai Ningning was still standing outside the red line, hesitating whether to go in, when the evil spirits in Area 10 reacted first.
She watched helplessly as several pairs of dark green eyes appeared out of thin air in the area shrouded in black fog.
Bai Ningning: “…”
Help, help...
The two sides confronted each other across the red warning line and the barrier.
The evil spirits stared at Chu Ze with hungry wolf-like eyes: "You were here today, what are you doing here again?"
Their voices are so deep and deep that if you don't listen carefully you might mistake them for the roar of wild beasts.
Chu Ze still had a droopy look on his face, walking slowly forward. "The entire underworld belongs to the King of Hell. He can walk around as he pleases. Do I need to report to you guys if I'm just wandering around in my own backyard?"
This lazy yet cool look actually made him more sarcastic.
[Dad—so handsome! ]
【So cool! 】
[Line up with the number plate to become Ningning’s stepmother]
[This man is really good at attracting hatred. Doesn't he come to District 10 to provoke people every day?]
But it seems that only the barrage of comments got the message about this cool behavior, and it did not have any deterrent effect on the evil spirits.
These evil spirits were not provoked at all and grinned wildly.
Bai Ningning saw that Chu Ze's expression didn't change at all, as if he was used to it. She asked, "You seem very relaxed?"
Chu Ze said casually, "These are just bluffing. Really powerful ghosts won't specifically target us, understand?"
Bai Ningning suddenly felt a chill, clenched her fists nervously, and asked, "Do you encounter this kind of situation every day?"
While they were talking, many ghosts from District 9 came from behind them and surrounded them.
They laughed extremely wildly, and all kinds of strange laughter came from all directions, like devilish sounds filling Bai Ningning's ears, making her ears hurt.
The more panicked Bai Ningning was inside, the calmer she appeared on the surface.
She asked Chu Ze: "Is this barrier useful?"
"Yeah." Chu Ze nodded leisurely, "For them, they can only go in but not out."
Bai Ningning chuckled: "Then let's finish the appetizers in District 9 first, Qinghuai."
"The little girl is really brave enough to say that..."
The evil ghosts in District 9 grinned fiercely. They were also quite difficult to deal with. If they were in the human world, they would be evil ghosts that would bring disaster to the people. When had they ever been looked down upon like this?
Qing Huai used ghost energy to draw a circle around her to protect her, and then went to deal with other evil ghosts.
Chu Ze forced his way into the circle, a smirk on his face: "Let's have some fun, do you want to consider recruiting the evil spirits in District 10 as your errand boys?"
Bai Ningning shook her head repeatedly: "I think they are ugly."
Chu Ze: “…”
I never expected the reason to be so simple, and she said it so confidently.
Chu Ze tried to reason with him: "Evil spirits usually look miserable, that's normal, but they are useful and very powerful."
Bai Ningning didn't say anything, but pointed at Qinghuai who was punching a little kid next to him.
Chu Ze choked: "...That's a special case."
He coughed lightly twice, adjusted his attitude, and tried to appeal to their emotions: "Look, these ghosts are all very ferocious and fierce, and none of them submit to anyone else. Even if you contracted them, they might not obey you. But you suppress them with the power of the King of Hell. If you point east, they dare not go west. Isn't that great?"
Bai Ningning looked at him speechlessly and pointed at Qing Huai with her thumb again: "I already have one. It's a bit troublesome. I don't want any more."
There were still a few female ghosts who hadn't come with her waiting for her at home, and she was still worried about how to accommodate them.
Chu Ze couldn't persuade him, so he could only shake his head and sigh, looking at Qing Huai's strength and clicking his tongue: "Where did you catch this ghost?"
Bai Ningning: "I don't know...it came to me on its own."
Chu Ze: “?”
[It's so funny, Qing Huai must be so angry that he wants to kill someone after hearing this]
[Qing Huai: It was you who set the trap to harm me!]
Bai Ningning: “?”
Chu Ze wondered: "Why are you suddenly surprised?"
Bai Ningning changed the subject: "If I help you get rid of these ghosts, everything will be fine, right?"
Chu Ze yawned: "If it were really that simple, would I have to send people all over the world to look for you?"
"Huh?" Bai Ningning looked at him suspiciously, "Why haven't I heard anyone looking for me?"
[Haven't you figured out your brothers' plan yet? ]
[That's not right. Ningning obviously knows and is deliberately trying to trick her.]
[The information is poor. Qingwei Mountain has hidden Ningning, and the brothers can't look for her in a big way, so they can only do it quietly.]
[The brothers discovered Ningning during the cuckold incident, right? The plot started from there. Everything that followed wasn't a chance encounter, but a man-made "coincidence."]
[It can be seen later that Ningning already knew about this. She must have said this on purpose for her father to hear, but he didn't fall for it.]
"Really?" Chu Ze blinked, seemingly uninterested. "Then maybe they're just slacking off."
Bai Ningning felt inexplicably angry: "I said, you really don't have any..."
She was stunned in the middle of her words. What was there to be angry about?
What does it have to do with her whether Chu Ze is close to his three sons or trusts his sons?
Chu Ze waited for a while, but when she didn't say anything, he lazily replied, "Hmm?"
Bai Ningning waved her hand: "Forget it, it's okay... Did you pick up those three people too?"
Chu Ze was stunned for a moment before realizing she was talking about his three sons. Scratching his head, he explained, "That's not the case. They are indeed his biological children. It's just that due to some special reasons, they were not raised by my side."
[Hilarious! The old fox and the little fox were teasing each other and ended up changing the subject.]
The old fox wanted to keep Ningning in the underworld as the King of Hell, while Ningning wanted to finish the battle quickly and go back to sleep.
[This old fox is trying to trick Ningning into working for nothing, right?!]
[You are not allowed to talk about your father like that! How can a friendly exchange between father and daughter be considered a lie?]
How can it be considered that my daughter is doing chores for free?
The comments seemed to have been replaced by a new group of people, and Chu Ze was addressed as "old fox".
But the comments say that they [mutually] changed the subject?
Chu Ze slapped his forehead: "Oh, why did you change the subject?"
"Can you see it too?"
Bai Ningning was slightly shocked by the synchronization between him and the barrage.
Chu Ze was confused: "What?"
Bai Ningning: "...No, forget it, it's okay."
No matter how you look at it, she's overthinking it.
"What did you see? Is this a special ability exclusive to the King of Hell?" Chu Ze's eyes were a little excited, and he put his hand on her shoulder. "These evil spirits, really only you can purify them. As long as the underworld does not have an official King of Hell, these evil spirits will continue to be produced, without end."
Bai Ningning: "What's the solution?"
Chu Ze: "Throw them to the animal realm for reincarnation as soon as possible."
Bai Ningning was a little skeptical: "Is it that simple?"
Chu Ze smiled guiltily, his eyes wandering: "Don't worry, it's really not difficult, I will assist you."
Bai Ningning: “…”
There is no credibility at all.
Bai Ningning stared at the ghosts that kept approaching from outside the circle and asked coldly, "Can you explain to me why these evil ghosts keep appearing?"
Chu Ze: "Because evil thoughts are contagious."
At the Ning'an Hotel, Yuan Muyang failed to track down the gate to the underworld. When he went downstairs, he ran into Yu Yue. He ordered, "Go check on Bai Ningning and Geng Yiyi."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight to Chu Xisen's door and knocked.
Yu Yue's reaction was a little slow: "...Okay."
She felt it was not good to disturb people's sleep so late at night, so she used her spiritual sense to check the condition of the two people, confirmed that they were both fast asleep, and reported to Yuan Muyang.
Chu Xisen took a while to respond to him, rubbing his sleepy eyes and opening the door a crack: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Muyang knocked on the door just to confirm whether he was in the room and whether he was asleep. After getting the answer he wanted, Yuan Muyang said casually: "It's a bit dangerous tonight, please be careful."
Chu Xisen slammed the door shut and cursed, "Are you sick? Why would you wake me up in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"
Yuan Muyang didn't move, listening to the noise in the room.
If Chu Xisen deliberately yawned here, he could immediately tell that his sleepy eyes and nasal tone after waking up were all acted out.
Unfortunately, he didn't hear any other movement in the room. He could only hear Chu Xisen walking away from the door with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It really sounded like he was still asleep.
Yuan Muyang lowered his head and fell into deep thought: Could it be that he was wrong? These two people who had come to Yuancheng with ulterior motives and inexplicably forced themselves to follow him, really had nothing to do with the incident on the rooftop tonight?
He still felt something was wrong, so he turned around and knocked on Geng Yiyi's door.
Geng Yiyi wasn't a very deep sleeper, but she was a little annoyed to be woken up. She opened the door aggressively and said, "You're knocking on my door in the middle of the night, you want to fight?"
Yuan Muyang: "Did you notice? The door to the underworld just opened on the rooftop."
"What the hell?" Geng Yiyi's tone became even more fierce. "Are there any Black and White Impermanence?"
Yuan Muyang: "Probably not."
Geng Yiyi pointed at his nose and cursed, "What the hell is it that I care about the door of the underworld being open? You're crazy to disturb someone's sleep in the middle of the night! Don't let me hear you knocking on any door on this floor again, or I'll complain to the hotel immediately!"
She cursed him immediately and closed the door, not giving Yuan Muyang any chance to react.
Yuan Muyang glanced at Bai Ningning's door and finally didn't knock on it.
It’s not that I’m afraid of Geng Yiyi’s complaint, but I don’t want to involve ordinary people.
What's more, Bai Ningning has a special physique. Waking her up in the middle of the night might cause uncontrollable trouble - such as attracting more ghosts.
Chu Xisen in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
His previous state was all acting. He deliberately ruffled his hair and made his voice hoarse, pretending that he had just woken up.
Fortunately, his acting skills were decent enough and he fooled people.
Yuan Muyang was hesitating about how to convey the message to Qingwei Mountain.
The opening of the gate to the underworld is not an uncommon occurrence, but at this juncture, when it appeared above his head, he could not help but suspect that it was aimed at him or Qingwei Mountain.
He was still considering his words when he suddenly felt that the door to the underworld had opened in another place in Yuancheng, and this door gave him a very strong bad premonition.
He called Yu Yue and rushed towards the gate of the underworld.
[Ningning escaped a disaster without knowing it]
[Xiao Taohua is so good at scolding, otherwise Mu Yang would definitely go and knock on Ningning's door. Ningning can't open the door now, and she will definitely be exposed.]
[What was that just now? It looked a bit like a portal, and it had a dark, eerie aura...]
[It's okay, Mu Yang will solve it. We should trust Ao Tian's ability.]
Bai Ningning pieced together a fact from the barrage - Yuan Muyang almost knocked on her door, but was stopped by Xiao Taohua.
And it seemed as if a new portal had opened on the ground.
Bai Ningning turned to Chu Ze in confusion and asked, "Is the gate to the underworld open again? The gate to the human world?"
"What?" Chu Ze didn't hear clearly at first, but he noticed some movement in Area 10, and suddenly realized that there were far fewer evil spirits staring at them from Area 10 than before.
At first he thought they had just been beaten up, so they behaved themselves better.
The King of Hell's perception is generally not bad. Since Bai Ningning has spoken, the door to the underworld is most likely really open.
In other words, the evil ghosts that appeared in Districts 9 and 10 were merely tools used to attract their attention and slow down their pace.
In fact, their main force has already "smuggled" into the human world.
Chu Ze's expression changed immediately. He crossed the red cordon and rushed into Area 10: "Ignore them, hurry up and catch up!"
Bai Ningning glanced at the barrage and her face turned cold: "Qinghuai, make a quick decision, I'm leaving."
[Hurry up, hurry up, or the ghosts will really invade the human world! ]
[Luckily, Yuan Muyang is there to block it, so it's not a big problem]
[If Ningning hadn't been here, when would my father have discovered this?]
[But if it wasn't Ningning, the door wouldn't be opened at this time, right? ]
[Whether Ningning comes or not, they'll open this door sooner or later. They've been planning this for a long time, and it just happened that Ningning would be there when it opened.]
[Why did they suddenly start arguing? Can someone explain to me what happened?]
[Don't mess with the rhythm. They've been targeted since they passed Area 4, right? They must have chosen this time because they saw Chu Ze wasn't in the Hades Palace and knew that the Acting Hades couldn't sense the status of the Hell Gate.]
Is there another possibility? Chu Ze had already patrolled the streets today, and they thought he wouldn't come again, so they just happened to pick this day.
If Chu Ze stayed in the Hades Palace, he would be able to sense the status of the Hades Gate. If he didn't go out, he would be able to find out immediately.
[The main reason is that my father was taking Ningning on a tour today and was wandering around slowly, which gave these ghosts plenty of time to act.]
[I don't know what you're so anxious about. Wasn't this Ningning's plan? When she was on the rooftop, she deliberately delayed for a while, making sure to wake Yuan Muyang before entering.]
[So, she had already predicted that these ghosts would invade the human world today, and deliberately moved Yuan Muyang to the gate of the underworld to block it?]
[Why do I feel like every step is within Ningning's plan... It's too coincidental, just a little bit off... Isn't she afraid of failure?]
Bai Ningning: “?”
What nonsense is the barrage saying again? !
The timing was perfect. If they had walked in a little later, Yuan Muyang might have caught up with them. If they had walked a little faster, the evil spirits might not have dared to open the door today. If the evil spirits had opened the door a little later, Yuan Muyang might have returned to knock on Ningning's door. You say this is all coincidence? I don't believe it.
Ningning's true strength may be even stronger than we imagined.
Bai Ningning: “…”
Thank you for your kind explanation, but this is all just a coincidence...
She was completely unaware!
She's a wimp! She's also afraid of ghosts! She can't possibly save the world, so stop praising her! QAQ!
She was frightened by the praise in the comments, and always felt that they were setting strange flags for her.
She only looked at the barrage for a dozen seconds, and Qinghuai had already wiped out all the evil spirits in District 9 that were aggressive towards them.
Bai Ningning noticed that Qinghuai's black mist had become much denser, but she was worried that he had eaten too much, so she asked, "Will he have indigestion?"
Qing Huai: “…”
Qing Huai said nothing, just looked at her, black mist rolling out from his body, blurring his outline.
Bai Ningning waved her hand awkwardly: "Okay, I won't ask anymore... Take me to the last area, we have to go find him."
The ghostly aura in the last area was so strong that she didn't dare go in alone.
But she couldn't just leave Chu Ze alone, it was too dangerous.
Bai Ningning was still worried that he might have indigestion after eating too much, so she reminded him, "Don't inhale ghost energy casually when you go in later."
Ningning has indeed noticed that there is something wrong with the ghost energy in the tenth district.
[If you eat this, you will be poisoned]
【Speaking of which, can ghosts be poisoned? 】
The resentment in the tenth district is too strong. Forget absorbing the ghost energy. Staying here for too long will easily affect you, leading to obsessive-compulsive behavior or increased aggression.
Bai Ningning suddenly realized that no matter what she asked, Qinghuai would answer it.
But he didn't answer just now.
Has it been affected?
