In addition to piles of white bones at the bottom of the Forgetful River, there are also piles of constantly squirming blood-red flesh. That flesh and blood seems to be still alive, slowly squirming with the river water.
On the surface, the Forgotten River looks like an ordinary river that flows through the entire Hell. The water in the river is blood red, and there is nothing special about it except that some white bones can be vaguely seen.
But if you look closely, you can find that underneath those white bones, what appears to be mud is actually wriggling blood-red flesh.
Ihara only glanced at it twice and then quickly looked away.
Those things were really disgusting. Even though Ihara had seen a lot of strange monsters, he still couldn't help feeling nauseous.
Ihara shifted his gaze away from the bottom of the Forgotten River and looked around the river.
The area around the Wangchuan River is full of red spider lilies. The wind blows gently, and the red spider lilies around the Wangchuan River sway with the wind, looking very beautiful.
But if you look closely, you can find that there are bones under those beautiful red spider lilies.
Ihara just walked a little bit by the river, but he accidentally stepped on white bones several times. A timid person would be really scared when seeing this scene.
Ihara was also frightened at the beginning, but after all, he had seen so many ghosts and monsters, and his mental endurance had gradually been trained. Although he was frightened at the beginning, he reacted immediately, and there was no frightened expression on his face. He even kept walking and walked calmly along the bank of the Forgetful River.
After walking along the banks of the Forgotten River, Ihara returned to the City of Hell.
After taking a quick look at the dazzling array of things around him, Ihara walked towards the King of Hell's Palace.
Now that he has the things given by the system, Ihara is not too worried about being exposed if he meets people who know this shell.
Now that he has come to hell, of course he has to meet the King of Hell with whom he had a scandal.
Ihara was actually quite curious about how the rumor about the King of Hell's wife came about.
You have to know that the shell of Yi Yuan appeared after Xiang Yan created it. In other words, he did not exist before. His identity setting was created by the system. The memories of Yan Wang and Meng Shiqi about Yi Yuan were all created by the system. Yi Yuan himself has not experienced it.
In order to make Yi Yuan's identity more real and not to be suspected, the system changed the memories of Yan Wang and Meng Shiqi and made Yi Yuan appear in their memories.
In fact, Ihara has only appeared for a few months. After all, the system was created by the Space-Time Bureau. In order to maintain the stability of the world, it is nothing for him to change other memories. He does not have the entangled and soft-hearted nature of humans.
To the System and the Space-Time Bureau, nothing is more important than maintaining the balance of the world.
Xiang Yan actually had some understanding of the system's practices. Although he didn't know the specifics, he still guessed a lot.
Xiang Yan didn't really have much to say about the system changing the memories of Yan Wang and the others. After all, everything the system did was beneficial to him.
If Xiang Yan said something like "It's not good to do this, it's unfair to them, how can you do this?", he himself would feel disgusted, and it felt too hypocritical and artificial.
Xiang Yan is not a bad person. He can even be said to be a relatively soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not be sad after seeing those ghosts who died tragically.
But he also has a sense of the overall situation, he knows what should be done and what should not be done.
Working together with the system to maintain world stability was his goal from the beginning. He worked so hard to catch ghosts for this reason, in order to have a peaceful and stable world so that his family and friends could live safely.
It is necessary for the system to change the memory of Yan Wang and others, and it must be done.
If Xiang Yan did not have the identities of ghost catchers and ghost kings like Yi Yuan, he would have been unable to move forward in this world where ghosts and monsters are rampant. It would have been difficult for him to even survive, let alone catch ghosts to maintain the balance of the world.
Moreover, the system will not do anything bad to their memories. The system will only add a little bit of memory related to the shell of Ihara to their memories, making Ihara's identity as a ghost messenger more legitimate, and will not have any bad impact on them.
Therefore, Ihara was not unhappy about the system changing the memories of the King of Hell and others. Instead, he was more curious about what settings the system had made for Ihara's shell, making everyone in Hell believe that he was about to become the King of Hell's wife.
The system will not do meaningless things. Since the system has set up a situation where Ihara almost becomes the Queen of Hell, it must have its own plans.
However, the system kept it a secret on this point and refused to tell Ihara the specific situation, only saying that Ihara would know when the time came.
Ihara curled his lips in dissatisfaction in his heart. Why is the system still keeping humans in suspense?
After walking for a while, Ihara arrived at the gate of the King of Hell's Palace.
The King of Hell usually handles affairs in the building in front of the King of Hell's Palace. There are several small buildings in the back for the King of Hell to rest.
However, the King of Hell is usually very busy and rarely has time to rest.
Why did Ihara know...
Well… because the first thing Ihara saw when he entered the King of Hell’s Palace was not the King of Hell himself, but the countless documents on the table in front of him.
These documents completely blocked the figure of the King of Hell, preventing Ihara from seeing his true face.
The name of the King of Hell is King of Hell, which is both a position and his name.
The King of Hell is not chosen by others. He was born in hell. He has been the King of Hell since birth, and there will only be one King of Hell.
In fact, Ihara had seen a photo of the King of Hell in the information provided by the system, but there was a difference between the photo and the real King of Hell. He was more curious about what the real King of Hell looked like.
Ihara stopped and stood not far from Yan Wang, looking at the pile of documents calmly, not in a hurry to speak.
After a while, Yan Wang finally stopped what he was doing, stood up and looked at Ihara.
Because Yan Wang stood up, Ihara also saw Yan Wang's appearance clearly.
The King of Hell is undoubtedly a good-looking man, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a cold and handsome face. As Yi Yuan walked along, he found that there were many beautiful and handsome people in hell, and there were quite a few of them, as if hell recruited people based on their looks.
Weiwei complained in his heart, and Yiyuan turned his attention to the King of Hell in front of him.
When Yan Wang saw Ihara, his eyes lit up, and his frowning brows relaxed. He stood up and walked towards Ihara, smiling and asked, "Why are you back? Did you have fun in the human world?"
"Very good." Seeing that Yan Wang was obviously very familiar with him, Ihara chose an answer that would not go wrong.
"Hmm?" Yan Wang looked at Yi Yuan's serious face strangely and asked curiously, "You seem to be worried. Did something happen in the human world?"
"No..." Ihara looked at Yan Wang in surprise and was about to deny it when he was interrupted by him.
"Come on, come on, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's go have a drink together." Yan Wang said and pushed Ihara.
"..." In the end, Yi Yuan could only swallow the words he was about to say and followed the King of Hell to the backyard of the King of Hell's Palace.
Although the King of Hell has a lot of things to do and is always very busy, he is not a person who does not know how to enjoy life.
Just by looking at the decoration in the backyard of King Yama's palace, you can tell that King Yama is a person who pays great attention to details in life.
The backyard of the King of Hell's Palace was full of flowers and plants that Ihara didn't know about, and there was also a pond that seemed to contain something, but Ihara didn't go to see it.
This is hell, who knows if there are any weird things living in there.
Taking his eyes away from the pond, Ihara followed Yan Wang to the table under the tree and sat down.
After his subordinates had prepared the wine, Yan Wang poured a glass for Yi Yuan, then took one for himself and started drinking.
"Ah..." After taking a sip of wine, Yan Wang sighed slightly, then turned his head to look at Yi Yuan who was sitting upright beside him, and said with a smile: "Relax, why are you so serious?"
"If you act like this, I would think something big has happened to you." The King of Hell joked with a smile.
"..." Ihara did not reply, his eyes silently fell on the glass of wine that Yan Wang poured for him.
Come to think of it, Ihara seems to have never drunk alcohol.
Xiang Yan is not very old, and he has younger brothers and sisters to take care of. He has no time or opportunity to drink.
Since Xiang Yan hasn't drunk it, then Yi Yuan and the others certainly haven't drunk it either.
Ihara looked at the wine glass in front of him, feeling a little conflicted.
He had never drunk alcohol, so he didn't know how much he could drink, nor did he know what he would be like when he was drunk, whether he would pass out after one drink, or go crazy and talk nonsense.
Therefore, he was very conflicted about whether or not to touch the glass of wine in front of him.
By the way, the system didn't tell him that Ihara the Ghost Messenger would drink with the King of Hell? !
Looking at Yan Wang's skillful movements, could it be that in his memory, he and Ihara often drank together?
"Hmm?" It seemed that Ihara had been silent for too long. Yan Wang turned his head with some confusion, and saw Ihara staring at the wine glass in front of him with a depressed look.
"?!!" Yan Wang's eyes widened, he sat up straight, and then looked at Yi Yuan, "No way, have you really encountered any difficulties?"
"With your status and ability, what can stump you?" asked the King of Hell with a slight frown.
Yi Yuan is a ghost messenger on the surface, but his true identity is the real Lord of Hell. His status in Hell is higher than that of the King of Hell. Is there anything he can't do? ?
"Did those humans in the human world give you trouble?" The King of Hell guessed, "No, how could those weak humans give you trouble? Could it be the ghost realm? Are the seven ghost realms restless?"
"I heard that a new ghost king appeared in the ghost realm. Could it be that the ghost king did something to you?"
"No..." Ihara hurriedly stopped Yan Wang's increasingly divergent thoughts. He was just struggling over whether to drink the glass of wine. Why did you think of the Ghost King?
"I'm fine." Ihara waved his hands quickly, indicating that he was fine. "I didn't encounter any difficulties in the human world."
"Since it's not the Ghost King's fault, could it be that... there's something wrong with the weapon?" The King of Hell kept guessing.
The more Ihara said she was fine, the more worried he became.
His expression just now didn't look like he was alright.
That kind of embarrassment, low mood, and worried look...
"Huh?!!!" Yan Wang suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he blurted out in shock: "Is it an emotional problem?"
Yes, this kind of entanglement and dilemma has only been seen in those who are in love.
"Do you have someone you like?" The more Yan Wang thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. "You look so conflicted, could it be that you are human?"
If it was a ghost, Ihara shouldn't be so conflicted. After all, he is a ghost catcher. If he falls in love with someone, he can just take him back to hell. He would only be so conflicted if he falls in love with a human.
After all, living humans cannot enter hell, and once they enter, they cannot get out.
"???" Yi Yuan looked at the suddenly excited Yan Wang with a puzzled look on his face. What happened just now? Did he miss some important plot? Why did he just hesitate for two seconds whether to drink or not, and things suddenly turned out like this? ? ?
"What kind of girl is she?" Yan Wang completed a series of imaginations in less than three seconds. He felt that his guess was correct. Yi Yuan was depressed and entangled because she fell in love with a human. So he asked curiously: "I can help you find a solution."
Although humans cannot enter hell, everyone will die eventually. Can't they come here after they die?
Anyway, Ihara and the others won’t get old, so there’s plenty of time to wait.
"Not a girl... huh? Huh!!!" Yi Yuan answered casually in a daze after hearing Yan Wang's words, and then suddenly reacted, "No, not a girl, bah, not the person I like... No, that's not what I mean, I mean..."
Ihara clearly wanted to explain that he didn't like anyone, that he was just distracted for a moment and was not depressed, but he felt that he was becoming more and more confused as he spoke, and in the end he couldn't speak clearly.
"Not a girl?" Yan Wang didn't listen to Yi Yuan's explanation. He only focused on Yi Yuan's first sentence. There was a hint of disbelief in his tone: "You like a human boy?"
"No... that's not what I meant." Ihara felt himself getting more and more confused. He took a deep breath and explained, "I'm not in love with a human girl."
"Well, I know that you like a human boy." Yan Wang nodded with an I understand look on his face, then raised his hand and patted Ihara's shoulder, with some emotion in his tone that Ihara didn't understand, "I didn't expect that our hobbies are so similar."
"Hmm? Similar hobbies?" Ihara, who was trying to explain, paused when he heard Yan Wang's words, trying to digest the meaning of his words.
It is known that Yan Wang just said that Yi Yuan fell in love with a human boy, and Yan Wang also said that they have similar hobbies, which means that Yan Wang fell in love with a human boy???
No, it shouldn’t be like, but have you liked it before?
After all, the human world and hell have been disconnected for some time, and the King of Hell is still staying in hell, with no intention of leaving.
All this shows that the King of Hell doesn’t care that much about the human world, or in other words, the people that the King of Hell cares about are no longer around?
After all, the King of Hell is still alone now, and apart from his subordinates, there is no one else around him.
But what kind of situation would prevent the King of Hell from keeping the person he loves by his side?
That’s the King of Hell, who is omnipotent in hell. Is there anyone he cannot keep?
"Hey, hey, hey, you look so confused, you must have forgotten what happened back then, right?" The King of Hell did not miss the flash of doubt in Ihara's eyes. He patted Ihara's shoulder in dissatisfaction, "Because of what happened back then, you almost became my King of Hell's Consort."
Speaking of this, the King of Hell couldn't help but want to laugh. What happened back then was really too funny. He couldn't help but smile whenever he thought about it.
"..." Ihara really didn't know what happened at the beginning, so he didn't reply immediately. And seeing the King of Hell smiling, he always felt that things should be a little different from what he imagined. At least nothing bad happened?
"Back then you were... Haha." Yan Wang thought for a moment, then looked at Ihara's serious face beside him and couldn't help laughing.
"..." Yi Yuan silently looked at the King of Hell who couldn't stop laughing, and the only thing left in his heart was...
"If you have the guts, just say it clearly. Why are you laughing in the middle of a sentence?" Ihara thought inwardly, a little angrily.
…………
On the other hand, when Yi Yuan took Niu Niu and her family to hell, Yan Zhi and Yun He also gained a lot.
Because of the amulet that Lin Ling got from the temple, Yan Zhi and the others initially thought that nothing would happen tonight. Both of them were a little bored at first as they sat in Xiang Yan's room.
Until later, they smelled a peculiar smell that drifted in from the window. Yan Zhi and Yun He couldn't help but frowned when they smelled it.
Because of that smell...how to put it, it was a very unpleasant fishy smell. Yan Zhi and the others frowned when they smelled just a little bit.
Walking to the window, Yan Zhi and Yun He looked out through the curtains.
Although it was very dark outside, except for a few faint lights in the distance, the rest of the place was plunged into darkness. Ordinary people would not be able to see their hands in front of them if they walked in.
However, Yan Zhi and Yun He are not ordinary people. One of them is a ghost and the other is the ghost king. Naturally, they will not be troubled by the darkness.
Through the curtains, Yan Zhi and Yun He could see a few wisps of black and red smoke floating outside the window, and the unpleasant smell seemed to be coming from the smoke.
After watching for a while, Yan Zhi and the others discovered that the smoke was not aimed at them, but at the room next door, where Xiang Yin and Lin Ling lived.
Frowning, Yan Zhi and Yun He looked at each other, and both decided to wait and see what the smoke was going to do.
After a while, the light smoke gradually darkened in color and turned into a thick black-red color.
The unpleasant smell was getting stronger and stronger, and Yan Zhi and Yun He could only block their sense of smell temporarily.
However, Lin Ling and Xiang Yin next door didn't seem to feel anything wrong.
After chatting for a while, the two fell asleep and closed their eyes.
They had no idea what was happening outside, nor did they smell the unpleasant odor.
As the amount of smoke outside increased, Yan Zhi and Yun He became alert, ready to deal with any possible attack.
The smoke with a bad smell was just as Yan Zhi and the others had expected. After the smoke gradually condensed, it suddenly hit the window of Lin Ling and the others' room.
Yan Zhi and Yun He were just about to attack, but a yellow light appeared in front of them.
A bright yellow light blocked the smoke and then attached to the window of Xiang Yin and her room, making it impossible for the smoke to move forward.
“…”
“…”
Looking at the scene in front of them, Yan Zhi and Yun He looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
[I didn’t expect that the amulet would be so useful.] Yan Zhi said with some emotion.
As long as there are ghosts in this world, there will naturally be Taoists and Buddhists. However, there are also many corresponding scammers. Ordinary people cannot distinguish between the real and the fake, so the possibility of encountering a scammer is much greater than the possibility of encountering a truly powerful Taoist priest.
However, Lin Ling was really lucky this time. She met someone who was truly powerful, and the amulet she got was also very useful.
[Yes.] Yun He heard Yan Zhi's words and echoed: [Would you like to take some time to go and have a look?]
Of course Yun He didn't mean to go and have a look. Wouldn't it be troublesome for him to go to the temple alone? He was talking about Xiang Yan, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi.
The matter of letting Bai Jing teach Xiang Yin has been delayed due to various things. Although Xiang Yin and the others have self-defense weapons given by Xiang Yan, one can never have too many self-defense items.
Yun He now wanted to give Xiang Yin and Xiang Shilai ten or eight amulets and let them carry them with them to kill any ghosts that came.
[Hmm...] Yan Zhi was thinking seriously about what Yun He had just said. It seemed like a good idea to ask for a talisman.
[Hmm???] But before Yan Zhi and Yun He could come up with an answer, the strange smoke outside made new movements.
Because the smoke couldn't get in through the window of Xiang Yin's room, the smoke set its sights on entering Xiang Yan's room next door.
Yan Zhi and Yun He did not turn on the lights when they were in Xiang Yan's room. After all, they were protecting Xiang Yin and the others in secret, and in order not to alert the enemy, they also deliberately restrained their breath.
Therefore, the smoke had always thought that Xiang Yan's room was empty...
Yan Zhi and Yun He knew what Yan Wu was planning, so they slowly hid on both sides of the window and watched Yan Wu's movements.
So... when the smoke thinks it has quietly drifted into Xiang Yan's room, what awaits him is a beating from a ghost king and a powerful ghost!
“…”
“…”
“…”
When the smoke came in, before he could be happy, he turned around and saw two figures standing by the window.
The two figures in the smoke looked at each other in silence for two seconds. Then the smoke felt the aura of Yan Zhi and the others, and after being startled, it wanted to escape.
It’s a pity... How could Yan Zhi and the others let go of the ghost that came to their doorstep?
Bang—bang—bang!
Yan Zhi and the others tried their best to keep their voices as quiet as possible, but unfortunately they still inevitably made some noise when catching the smoke.
This smoke was very cunning, and it took Yan Zhi and the other two a long time to make it calm down.
but……
After clearing up the smoke, Yan Zhi and Yun He looked back at Xiang Yan’s messy room and fell silent for a moment.
[Let’s clean it up.] Yan Zhi looked at Yun He.
Although Xiang Yan was not a germaphobe, he still couldn't stand his room being so messy.
But before Yan Zhi and the others could take action, Yun He keenly heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
