I work part-time in the dungeon and raise an umbrella

"Am I... dead?" Lian Xi, who was still a little dazed in the Temple of the City God just now, made a sound looking at the endless darkness.

Wuchang in white on her left responded to her question: "You saw it just now at the Town God's Temple. It died in a fire. Take your guide and walk through Huangquan Road. When you arrive at the Gate of Ghosts, you have to show the guide to the gate guard."

Lian Xi recalled the Lord Cheng Huang he saw just now, and the scene before his death.

She was obviously still checking the product just now, but suddenly she didn't know about the personnel. When she woke up, she saw a kind-hearted old man handing herself a piece of paper and telling herself to take it. Later, she was taken by these people, and the scenery around her was like fast forwarding. Flash forward, to the so-called Huangquan Road.

If she didn't feel that she was so light that she was about to float, she would have suspected that these people were deceiving herself. Even if she was in it now, it was hard not to doubt that it was a dream.

"Let's go." Hei Wuchang on the right woke up Lian Xi who was in a daze, and motioned her to go forward.

A group of people walked for more than ten minutes, and when they walked, Ying began to feel drums in his heart, wondering how long this Huangquan Road was and when it would end.

Moreover, there was no reference point in the surrounding area. They walked in it as if they were walking in the void. They said it was the Yellow Spring Road, but in fact there was no specific road at all. She wondered if they were walking in a big circle.

After walking for another 10 minutes, Shi Ying finally saw a gate tower in the distance, which should be the gate of ghosts that Bai Wuchang said just now was closed, Shi Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to walk anymore.

Standing still in front of the gate of ghosts, Shi Ying looked at the tall gate and sighed. It is indeed the first pass for ghosts to enter the underworld. Thinking about it, no matter whether you have seen a ghost or not, you will be amazed.

Two tall guards wearing armor and holding spears crossed their spears and shouted, "Who is here!"

Bai Wuchang, who was leading Lian Xi, stepped forward, said a few words to the guard on the left, and then motioned Lian Xi to show him the way.

Lian Xi had never seen such a scene in his life, and looked at the guard with some curiosity, and passed the road guide he had been holding in his hand.

After the guard on the left inspected it, he handed it to the guard on the right. After both sides were fine, he returned the guide to Lianxi and motioned her to put it away. The guards did not squint, maintaining a unified posture and looking forward.

Bai Wuchang, who took the lead, opened the ghost gate and walked forward first. Lian Xi followed Hei Wuchang's urging, and the team continued to move forward.

Shi Ying was very pleasantly surprised. She thought that all the things in the underworld had been modernized, such as the operation panel she held, the WeChat group created by her colleagues in the underworld, and the talismans given to her by Uncle An. It is in a modern form. I did not expect that this ghost gate is so antique. The building is an ancient gatehouse, and the gatekeeper is actually dressed in ancient costumes.

Seeing her surprised face, Xiaoqi followed behind and said softly, "How about it, isn't this sense of form very good?"

Shi Ying nodded vigorously.

Xiao Qi explained with a smile: "I also considered replacing it with QR codes before, but it was rejected. As you can see, the ancient form is more ceremonial, and the souls will be more willing to believe that the ancestors handed it down. We use this form to deepen the feeling of death in the soul body and make them believe in the fact that they are dead."

Shi Ying thought for a while and wanted to send everyone a QR code. The picture of the guards wearing security uniforms and scanning the code with a QR code scanner did not feel very serious, which shows that the sense of ritual is still very important.

"Is that the style behind it?" Shi Ying asked.

"No, it's enough to have a sense of ritual this time. The latter are all modern styles. On the one hand, it is for the convenience of work, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce the process. If modern people are given the ancient style, they will be less efficient if they are not used to it." become very low." Wugui replied.

It turns out that this is really a hell for generations, advancing with the times is not just bragging, the advanced hell is none other than you.Shi Ying conferred an advanced award to the underworld in his heart, and then laughed out loud.

"Sister Ying, what are you laughing at? You've arrived at Wangxiang Terrace, can you take a look?" Xiao Qi poked Shi Ying's arm.

Only then did Shi Ying realize that the team had reached the next check-in point, Wangxiang Terrace?She looked up, but didn't see any high platform.

Black and White Wuchang in front had already taken Lian Xi up the steps and entered the room, Xiao Qi came over and tugged Shi Ying's arm, and said in a low voice, "Come on, let's take a look quietly."

Shi Ying was dragged up the steps for some unknown reason, and Xiao Qi squatted down with his head pressed down by Xiao Qi for some unknown reason. He himself gently pushed the door open a small crack, motioning for Shi Ying to look inside.

Shi Ying looked over curiously, and inside was a curved mirror larger than the mirror she placed in the lobby of Building 23 in the copy of Xingfu Community, which almost surrounded half of the room. Xi stood in the middle, Lianxi stopped obediently, and the mirror slowly emerged.

The first is the rescue scene of the burning factory building. At this time, the rescue is coming to an end. The firemen put out the fire and are moving the corpses out one by one. The camera gave a close-up of Lianxi's corpse. She was not burned, but there was a little gray on her head and face. Stains, clothes and left arm were blackened by smoke.

She didn't recognize that it was herself at first, but she couldn't help bursting into tears after reacting belatedly. She looked at the colleagues lying on the ground outside, some of them could recognize who they were, and some of them had already been burned. Without showing her face, she covered her mouth and cried loudly. Although she already knew the fact of their death in her heart, she still couldn't accept such a scene.

The screen changed to a girl eating breakfast in the cafeteria. She might be Lian Xi's child. She didn't know that her mother had died in the flames. The news had already been on the hot search list, but she hadn't seen it yet.

Lian Xi gradually calmed down, but still looked at the girl's side face while eating with tears in her eyes, life and death are different, how could she let go of leaving this matter easily.

The next scene cuts to a young man who is on the morning rush hour subway. He swipes his mobile phone and obviously sees the news of the fire. His eyes were red, but he was still comforting himself: "Aunt Lian is definitely not on the night shift, she hasn't woken up yet, not on the night shift, not on the night shift..."

He called her Aunt Lian, so it should be related, Shi Ying guessed, but still puzzled, does Lian Xi have no relatives of the same age? According to the relationship of relatives, after the end of the daughter, they should be sisters and brothers, right?
