Chapter 3, The Land of Nine Serenities
As if he sensed that Li Muran had come, the person who was on board No. 31 suddenly turned his head and smiled strangely at Li Muran.
Li Muran's face turned white suddenly, and his sleepiness completely faded. After taking two steps back, Li Muran sat down on the ground, stretched out his right hand and pointed at the man tremblingly and said, "You...you......"
Generally speaking, everyone basically has to work day shifts on Monday, and even Li Muran is no exception. So on Sunday night, the Internet cafe seemed deserted, and not many people played games here at night, and there was no one in Area B, so no one noticed the abnormality that happened here.
The figure on the chair flashed, and in Li Muran's horrified gaze, the repair land disappeared, and even the computer screen suddenly turned black, as if nothing had happened before.
Sitting on the ground, Li Muran gasped heavily and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was very sure that what he saw just now was definitely not an illusion, it should have happened. Li Muran also remembered that look very clearly. Isn’t that Zhang Cheng who died suddenly in front of this computer more than half a month ago? He was also wearing that kind of clothes that day. What was going on?
Also, looking back now, when I was in the hospital, I met a few of the people I met in the corridor, and I seemed to have seen them. One of them had lived in the same ward as Qingya, and the other several seemed to have lived in the ward next to me. Although they were not vegetative, they all had serious illnesses that could not be cured. Moreover, in the past month, they have all died one after another. What's wrong with this?
Li Muran climbed up from the ground blankly and stumbled on the chair next to him, feeling extremely confused. If the situation just now was changed to a more common saying, wouldn’t it be a ghost?
After his body recovered some strength, Li Muran felt a little calmer. So what if he really hit a ghost? Isn’t he still good now? And the book also said that scholars don’t have a kind of righteousness, and ghosts can’t be hurt? Although he has not read so many books of sages like the ancients, he has read many books, and he can barely be considered a true scholar, so there is no need to be so afraid!
With this feeling, Li Muran walked to the bathroom and planned to wash his face and wake up. Looking at himself in the mirror, although his face was a little pale, the others were all fine. Moreover, Li Muran felt that his performance just now seemed a little too cowardly. Didn’t he always claim to be not afraid of ghosts? Why did he act so badly just now? If the classmates who used to know, he who called himself "Li Dabang" would be scared like this, it would be embarrassing. Therefore, Li Muran secretly swears in his heart that the ghost thing must not appear in front of him again, otherwise he must let that guy know: how boldness is made!
He slapped the face with a few times, took the towel beside him and wiped it randomly. When he opened his eyes and looked into the mirror again, the face of "Zhang Cheng" suddenly appeared in the mirror. Li Muran was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and his body was not softened by the support of the wall. This time the impact was bigger than before, and more intuitive. Li Muran covered his mouth and tried his best to become calm. He grabbed the door handle and turned down to escape. The bold words he had just now had long been thrown out of the sky. In such an almost face-to-face situation, saying that he was not afraid is completely nonsense!
However, no matter how hard Li Muran tried, the bathroom door seemed to have no movement, even if there was no sound at all. Li Muran could only continue to move in such a futile movement, looking into the mirror from time to time, but every time he looked, the horror in his heart increased a little.
The lips of "Zhang Cheng" in the mirror moved, but no sound was made. Apart from that, there was no extreme movement. After repeated several times, Li Muran's heart also calmed down a little. Moreover, judging from the expression of "Zhang Cheng" in the mirror, Li Muran instinctively felt that "he" did not seem to be malicious, but seemed to have something to say to him.
In fact, when Zhang Cheng was alive, Li Muran had a good relationship with him. He often chatted with him. Zhang Cheng basically ate, stayed and slept in the Internet cafe. He wore a set of clothes for more than a week, and he looked sloppy. However, at night, Li Muran often ran to Zhang Cheng to chat with him, and did not dislike him for dirty and smelly. He kindly required him to have to take a shower at most one week. Therefore, Li Muran also knew a lot about Zhang Cheng's situation.
Others think that Zhang Cheng is addicted to games and cannot extricate himself. In the end, he will suffer the consequences and even lose his life. But Li Muran knows very well that this is not the truth. Zhang Cheng plays games like that every day, just wants to become a real professional game player, and then make a lot of money to help his mother treat eye diseases, and then buy a house to let her enjoy some happiness.
However, it was finally time to get on the right track. Zhang Cheng joined a pretty good game team, which was a small studio or something. His daily income was pretty good. Zhang Cheng finally had the money to send it back to his home. Unfortunately, because he stayed up late for a long time, Zhang Cheng's body had already collapsed. Therefore, before he could really make much money, his body could not hold on first, and later he even died suddenly in front of the computer, which made Li Muran feel very sorry. After all, Zhang Cheng was still so young, a few years younger than himself.
Now, I don’t know why I can actually see Zhang Cheng again. Although it is in this strange state, it is finally fate.
Since he couldn't feel the malice of "Zhang Cheng", Li Muran naturally wanted to know what he wanted to say. To put it bluntly, people are actually very curious about ghosts and other things, but ordinary people can't see it at all. Of course, those masters who have practiced Taoism for a long time can naturally see it, but this is the first time for Li Muran at this time.
Li Muran carefully looked at the face of "Zhang Cheng" in the mirror, and it seemed that there was no difference between him and ordinary people. This made his curiosity finally surpass the fear in his heart. He carefully put his head next to the mirror, wanting to hear what "Zhang Cheng" was saying.
Therefore, Li Muran slowly leaned over and through the corner of his eyes, he also found that "Zhang Cheng" in the mirror was not moving at all, and he was looking at him with a smile. When Li Muran turned his head and his ears almost touched the mirror, a sudden change occurred, and a bottomless black vortex appeared, and a powerful suction force came from it. For a moment, Li Muran only felt that his consciousness seemed to be being pulled away from his body, trying desperately to resist, but it was useless at all. In the end, he was finally taken away.
Li Muran only felt that he was spinning all the time, and it seemed that he could not borrow any force, flying around like a feather. He only felt that his body was falling and his speed was getting faster and faster. A dizzy feeling in his head came. If he could vomit, Li Muran felt that he must have been shaking his stomach acid to be vomited out. However, at this time, Li Muran could only close his eyes and grit his teeth and bear it silently. Compared with the current situation, those roller coasters and the like that claim to be extremely fast were simply weak.
It seemed like it was very long, and it seemed that just a moment later, Li Muran found that he suddenly stopped moving, and the feeling of discomfort suddenly retreated from his body. Opening his eyes, Li Muran found that he was surrounded by gray and the light was not very good, but when he looked closely, his visibility was very high and he could see far. However, no matter which direction he looked from, it seemed that he could not see the edge at first sight. What is this place?
"Nine Netherlands!" As if I heard the question in Li Muran's heart, a faint voice came from not far away next to Li Muran.
A gray-white mist suddenly appeared beside Li Muran, and then slowly turned into Zhang Cheng's appearance in Li Muran's extremely surprised gaze. He stretched out his right hand and said to Li Muran with a smile: "Hello, we've met again, Four Eyes."
Li Mu then took two steps back. Although he still felt unbelievable, he no longer had the feeling of palpitations before. Here, even his senses seemed to have become a little dull. Therefore, Li Muran asked tentatively: "Zhang Cheng?"
"Zhang Cheng" smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, you don't have to be afraid of Four Eyes, I have no malicious intentions."
Li Muran's heart moved and touched the position of his chest on his left. Although he didn't feel anything, Li Muran was very sure that it must be caused by the strange black mark. Before, Li Muran had swear to say in front of Old Liu that the thing was not evil, but he didn't expect that the retribution in this life would come so quickly.
Li Muran nodded and said with some restraint: "What, are you okay?"
"Zhang Cheng" smiled bitterly: "Not very good. Now this look is so naughty that I can't see anyone. If you hadn't been able to see me suddenly, I don't know how long I would have to stay here, maybe until the moment when my soul is gone!"
Li Muran swallowed a saliva and asked in confusion: "How could this happen? You said this is the Nine Netherlands. What's so special about it? Why are you so scared for no reason?"
"Zhang Cheng" sighed: "If you don't go down to the underworld, I wonder if you have heard this sentence?"
It seems that I have seen this sentence somewhere, maybe it was in a book, so Li Muran nodded gently and quietly waited for the following text of "Zhang Cheng".
"Zhang Cheng" continued: "That's right. If those who die of life or who have no obsession in their hearts will go directly to the underworld after death, and then they will be assigned by major ghost cities. After serving in the underworld for a period of time, they can cross the Naihe Bridge and drink Mengpo Soup, and then they can enter the six realms of reincarnation and reincarnation. There is a certain chance of getting a chance to be a human again."
"But, people like me who have strong obsessions in their hearts cannot go to the underworld after death, and those who die in vain are no exception. If they cannot eliminate the obsessions or cut off those causes and effects, they can only enter the Nine Netherworlds, which is here." "And, if a ghost like me with low magic powers does not come to help us complete our obsessions or cut off those causes and effects within 7749 days, we will be dissipated and dissipated between heaven and earth, and there will be no chance of reincarnation."
