Chapter 293 The past is the past, the present is the present, I am no longer the same as I was before!

"Really, the ghost is still there."

The underworld reappears. When Yi Chen first met it, his cultivation was shallow and he could not see the mystery of the underworld. But now that he meets it again, he has a deeper understanding of it.

"It's not an illusory projection like a mirage, but it's not a physical entity either. This Red Mansion is in a state of superposition of reality and illusion, as if it can switch between these two states at any time."

"The underworld that can last forever in this world is indeed extremely mysterious."

"It seems that unless we touch the core of this thing and go to the deepest part, we will not be able to get rid of its entanglement."

A trace of solemnity flashed across Yi Chen's eyes. He changed direction several times and continued to do some tests. However, the underworld was still there as before, following him like a shadow.

Just as he was deep in thought, the door of the red house suddenly creaked.

The door opened.

A pool of bright red blood flowed out evenly from the vermilion threshold, and finally stopped in front of Yi Chen. It was so bright and juicy, like a red carpet inviting him to come in.

A strong sweet smell suddenly spread in the air.

"Is this human blood? No, that's not right. This shouldn't be human blood. But it is definitely fresh. This invitation method is quite interesting."

Golden flames burst out from under Yi Chen's feet, forming a circle of rich golden light, which resisted the spread of the blood-red carpet. This was the truth behind why the blood-red carpet stopped this time.

"If you let me in, I'll come in?"

"Damn it, do I have the habit of going through the front door?"

Yi Chen walked slowly towards the side wall. Since there was no danger in walking on the side last time, he chose to walk on the side this time. If it is not necessary, do not increase the entity. This is a kind of inheritance. With a chic Dongguan boy's hurdle, Yi Chen soon came to the front yard.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, black and red blood soon dripped from the blood-colored plaque hanging inside the gate, gathering on the ground to form a distorted "贰" character.

As soon as he set foot in the underworld, Yi Chen wanted to use his old trick again and break in through the window to see if there were any treasures. However, he saw that the scenery in front of him changed dramatically, and in the blink of an eye he found himself on a familiar long street.

At this moment, Yi Chen suddenly felt a heat on the blood mark on his left chest. He lowered his head and an image of a black crystal suddenly emerged in his mind. A crooked "six" slowly emerged on the blood mark.

Seeing this, Yi Chen immediately understood the meaning of the handwriting.

"Let me collect six black crystals like this?"

He looked behind him, and saw howling winds and thick fog behind him. He could not see the way home. Yi Chen casually sent out a stream of extremely powerful Qi, which sank into the rolling fog, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any waves at all.

"Well, I will play with you for a while." Suddenly, a ferocious smile appeared on Yi Chen's face. He paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the direction of the 'old friend' who used to sell melons to him.

As he moved forward, the fog on both sides gradually dissipated.

The melon stall from the past is still there, but the person selling the melons is no longer there.

"Boss, is anyone there?"

"Boss, someone stole your melons."

"Boil!"

A big hand pressed on the stall and lifted it up.

The Jingguan collapsed suddenly, and human skulls rolled down from the sky. However, Yi Chen's eyes were fixed on the long street ahead, and there was no movement at all.

"It seems that the monsters that have been killed will not appear again next time."

"I just don't know what's behind the end of this long street. Maybe it's a new beginning?"

"Where can we get the black crystal?"

"Forget it, let's continue to look ahead."

Yi Chen continued to walk forward, and at this moment, something strange happened.

Suddenly, the fog in front began to dance wildly as if it was enraged.

A roar was heard from afar, and a familiar aura suddenly emerged from afar and quickly rushed towards Yi Chen.

Hearing the roar from afar, Yi Chen's expression became strange for a moment.

This momentum and voice are somewhat familiar.

A strange and chilly wind blew by, and the gray-white mist quickly retreated to the rear. On the dim street, a green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghost suddenly appeared, dragging a thick chain.

"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a year, and I knew you would appear here soon."

"After a year, you finally came. Will anyone save you this time?" The evil ghost with a green face and fangs laughed grimly, and the aura of a mid-stage True Person Realm was undoubtedly revealed.

Under the daylight, the huge word "刑" on the evil ghost's chest was very conspicuous.

"Damn rat, you made me suffer a month of water dungeon punishment. I will not be able to relieve my hatred if I don't skin you alive today."

At this moment, Yi Chen finally recognized the identity of the evil ghost in front of him. When he first entered the long street and killed the old melon seller, a door suddenly appeared. Just when he was about to run away, a powerful ghost energy emerged from a distance and attacked him.

In this way, Pipihu, his beloved relative and friend who had made great contributions to him, was split into two pieces.

"You unruly boy, don't think that you can act recklessly in front of my soldiers just because you killed a test taker. Prepare to die!"

With a sneer, the evil ghost locked the chain in his hand and immediately wrapped it around Yi Chen's sturdy body three times. He exerted force with his arms and pulled hard, and soon the smile on his face froze.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yi Chen's cold face.

The smile didn't disappear, it just shifted.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could your cultivation level improve so quickly in just one year?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present!"

"You don't understand my amazing wisdom at all. I am no longer the same person I used to be, but you have become a ridiculous ant."

The indifferent voice echoed in the long street. Yi Chen grinned, hooked the chain with his little finger and pulled it. Suddenly, the huge body of the evil ghost flew towards him quickly like a toy. A big hand suddenly appeared on its head and pressed it to the ground.

"Waste, why are you so weak!"

"You scared me, you know? Do you know how I got through this year?

Do you know how hard I have worked this year? You guys scared me!"

"Is the underworld just taking in a bunch of rubbish like you? Bastards!"

"Tell me everything you know about this place, and I can give you a quick death. How about it?" Yi Chen roared ferociously.

Just when he was holding down the evil ghost with a green face and fangs, his memory extraction ability had already been activated, but unfortunately it was ineffective. The memory of the evil ghost was blocked by a strange force, and he didn't get any information at all.

"Give up on this idea. You don't understand what this place is. You can't get out. You will never be able to shake off His gaze, not even the most powerful son of Hades."

"Everyone will eventually perish and be eaten by Him, and you will join us and become a monster like us! Haha!"

"If you can kill me completely, then I really have to thank you very much." Facing Yi Chen's threat, the evil ghost actually retorted with a crazy look on his face, and tried to struggle to get up several times.

Looking at the evil ghost that looked like a madman, a hint of surprise flashed in Yi Chen's eyes. Even from the evil ghost's few words, he could piece together some useful information.

For example, the evil ghost in front of him was also a person who was targeted by the underworld in the past, just like him.

For example, the strange immortality. When he killed the old melon seller, he still remembered that the old man appeared in the front yard again. At that time, he clearly remembered that there was a pile of bloody torture instruments piled in the corner of the front yard.

There is also this person who calls himself a criminal, which seems to be an interesting title.

"Idiot, tell me if my power can help you get rid of it." Yi Chen squatted down, stared into the blue eyes of the green-faced and fanged evil ghost, stretched out a finger, and a glazed golden flame suddenly emerged from it.

Without waiting for the evil ghost to answer, the flames at his fingertips suddenly grew and covered the entire lower body of the evil ghost.

"Ahhh, not enough, not enough! Haha!"

"I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you! The more outstanding you are, the happier He will be. Sooner or later, you will die@!#￥!"

The evil ghost's body was suppressed by Yi Chen and he could not move. He lay on the long street, sometimes wailing in pain and sometimes laughing wildly, and sometimes talking incoherently. Until finally the golden flame swallowed his head whole, the sound disappeared on the long street.

Amid the ashes, a black crystal sparkled.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After the evil ghost died, all the fog above the long street dissipated, and at the end of the long street, a black stone palace came into view.

With Yi Chen's extraordinary eyesight, the three words "Secret Gambling Hall" on the plaque in front of the stone hall were clearly visible.

"interesting."

Yi Chen picked up the black crystal on the ground and stared into the distance with an inexplicable expression. He looked up at the sky, smiled, and then strode away into the distance.

….Inside an ancient stone hall, in front of a vermilion long table.

An old Taoist priest with narrow eyes, thin body, goatee and long nails sat in a black wheelchair. He looked at the four things on the table in front of him with indifference.

"What do you mean?"

"This secret gambling hall of mine is a place for gambling with one's life. Luck is also a part of strength. Do you agree with me?"

There were four boxes lined up in a row in front of the old Taoist with a goatee, each containing something.

Standing above the hall were four young figures with weathered faces.

There were two men and two women. One of the two male monks had a square face and the other was tall and thin. As for the two female monks, one had a hot body and the other was short, like a loli.

Lin Zhongjian calmed his mind, recalled the information he had known before, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Palace Master Huo, this is a small gift from me."

"Palace Master, why don't you meet him first, and then we can talk about it."

The first box was opened, containing ten drops of golden essence.

The same thing happened with the second box.

The third and fourth boxes turned out to be treasures with storage space properties, filled with various black hearts and livers. A quick glance revealed that there were no less than a thousand black hearts and livers in each box.

"Interesting, it seems that you all came prepared, and you even know my preferences."

"What do you want to exchange these things for?"

"We naturally want to win the next bet, and hope that Palace Master will help us." Lin Zhongjian said in a deep voice.

Lin Zhongjian was also very happy at this moment. The Four Swords of Yuezhong accidentally entered the underworld together and have been haunted by nightmares ever since. They have experienced it twice so far, and this is the third time.

Anyone targeted by Hades is the Son of Hades.

Fortunately, the four of them came from extraordinary families and obtained a lot of intelligence through family channels. In the previous two missions, they met other sons of the underworld and learned a lot of secrets about the underworld. This secret gambling hall was mentioned by a son of the underworld who they met by chance last time.

The underworld is absurd and bizarre. The monsters in it do not kill people on sight, but follow certain rules. As long as you do not cross the red line, you have a great deal of autonomy and discretion.

Among them, the clever son of the underworld discovered the flaw and created a situation that was favorable to him.

For example, this is the case with the secret gambling hall. They prepared a lot of things for this trip to the underworld, just in case. Unexpectedly, they were lucky this time and actually ran into the secret gambling hall mentioned in the intelligence.

"You are really thoughtful. Except for seat number four, you can choose any seat you like. Someone will be here soon." The Taoist with a goat beard glanced greedily at the four objects and suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the three people including Lin Zhongjian couldn't help but look delighted and immediately sat down one after another.

The hall suddenly fell into silence. After a while, the door of the stone hall opened again with a creaking sound, and a majestic Taoist walked slowly into the hall.

"Since everyone is here, please sit down."

"Let me reiterate first, the Secret Gambling Hall is a place for gambling with your life. Those who lose the bet will lose their life, and those who survive can each get a piece of black crystal."

"The rules of the secret gambling game are very simple. I have a rare treasure in my hand called Stormy Sky. If you pull the trigger, there is a one in five chance that this rare treasure will be triggered. The result will be a blow to the head. Do you understand?"

Yi Chen looked at the five red armchairs arranged in a circle in the main hall. He was speechless for a moment when he saw this scene as soon as he came in.

This underworld really knows how to play. The so-called secret gambling game is 80% similar to the Russian roulette in his previous life.

"Can I not play?" Yi Chen asked tentatively.

"What do you think? If you enter my secret gambling hall, you must play my games to please me."

"If you don't play, you will die immediately! If you play, you may still survive. Do you want to play or not?" A strong malicious force attacked Yi Chen.

Yi Chen glanced at the five people in the hall with a cold gaze. For a moment he always felt something was wrong, but it didn't matter. He could play with them.

"There are no other seats left. You are the last one. Go sit at seat number four and let the game begin!" The man with goatee in the wheelchair sneered.

After Yi Chen sat down, suddenly a bulge appeared above chair number one on the round table in front of him, and a black box suddenly appeared.

Five strange metals stretched out of the box, flashing a cold light, and behind them was a black trigger spring.

"Aim at the center of the forehead and press the spring. If someone dies, the game is over!"

"I am a rare kind-hearted person here, haha."

The number one person was a tall and thin man. Yi Chen looked at the four people around him with a puzzled expression.

The people sitting in the first, second and third seats did not fire, and soon it was his turn to fire the heavy rain and clear sky.

Everyone looked at Yi Chen with a teasing look on their face.

"It's my turn!" Yi Chen slowly picked up the Stormy Sky and aimed it at his forehead. Amidst everyone's expectant eyes, he suddenly turned his hand and shot it towards the forehead of Lin Zhongjian who was sitting in the fifth position.

Thanks to the boss with the last number 5713 for the reward.

I was delayed by something today, and I will definitely update twice tomorrow. Thank you all for your support of monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and subscriptions. I will finish coding at 1 o'clock and post them all tomorrow.

Wangzi bows ~ 　　PS: The underworld is definitely different from before, it will take some work and there will be some unexpected things.
