He couldn't get an answer to his confusion, so he could only place more hope on seeing the girl return.
Because it seemed that only seeing the girl return safely could dispel the unhappy haze in his heart at this time, and he had no intention of leaving before Tang Yuanyuan returned to this door.
He didn't care even if he had to face the ghosts who came to block him alone, because he was not actually worried that these ghosts living here would pose a threat to him.
Most ghosts and ghosts are difficult to fight against him. The group of ghosts present is just a mob to him. Most of them can't even get close to the fire wall he built, so he doesn't need to be distracted at all.
He had expected that the underworld would send out ghosts to deal with his plan that was like a sneak attack, so he wouldn't panic at all.
If this situation continues like this, the best result is that he can wait until Tang Yuanyuan comes out and escort him away safely. As long as Tang Yuanyuan successfully leaves the underworld, then he will only face the ghosts who are chasing him. You need to simply think about your own affairs.
In fact, he had no choice but to make this move because there was not much time left for him to "memory".
But as long as this adventure can succeed, as long as he can get the news about her from the life and death book... and can see her again, no matter what kind of risk he takes, it will be worth it for him.
Number 4 looked at the huge door and took a deep breath. Finally, by diverting his attention, he lost some of his unhappiness and anxiety and adjusted his emotions back to expectation.
No matter what, it seems that he can only trust Tang Yuanyuan now.
I believe she will succeed, I believe she will return, and I hope she can leave that place before everything becomes irreversible.
Until now, he still believed that Tang Yuanyuan must be moving forward in that space, also because he clearly noticed that the door of Shengshengbo Detention Center had not been closed from the activated state.
This situation was actually beyond his expectation, because the door of the Life and Death Detention Center is a crack leading to that special space. In fact, this crack is not always open all the time. Only a specific medium can open it. It opens, and the cracks that are opened also require special strength to maintain.
Therefore, ordinary people who enter that space will never be able to leave. In addition to losing their way out, they will also be swallowed up by the space that resists them.
But there seems to be something incredibly special about Tang Yuanyuan. The spatial rift in Shengshengbo Detention Center has not been closed until now because of her.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that the probability of Tang Yuanyuan returning is very high. The bad thing is that the space rift in the Life and Death Detention Center will have an impact on the underworld for a long time. This means that the longer the time, the more top-level dispatches there will be. The probability of ghosts and even ghost kings coming is higher.
He is indeed not afraid of the many weak little ghosts gathered here, but if the Shengshengbo Detention Center is disturbed by the invasion for too long, if several ghosts above the ghost king level or large demons with a thousand years of cultivation appear here, he will It may not be possible to confront the other party head-on.
After all, his strength may be less than 10% now, and the underworld still has shackles on him that he cannot break through. Under such circumstances, he is not sure that he can successfully complete the planned plan. .
And just when his thoughts reached this point and he frowned, he suddenly heard a familiar sound coming from under the long steps behind him that he least wanted to hear at this moment.
"No. 4, it seems that you did not wait until the day when the contract ended."
The voice of the visitor was approaching, and echoing with the voice was the sound of his footsteps approaching step by step.
Number 4 finally looked back from the huge door that he had been looking at, and turned to look at the figure who was alone and crossed the wall of fire he had constructed.
He frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly, his red eyes met the other person's gaze, and he caught a glimpse of the seemingly helpless emotion on the other person's face, but he couldn't help but secretly gather his spiritual power to prepare a strike at any time.
The person who came was one of the ghost kings in charge of the central underworld. His official name was Yama. He was alone, leaving the silent ghosts gathered behind him to break into the wall of fire on No. 4. He looked at the gloomy-eyed young man standing in front of the door and shook his head frequently. Approach the opponent's warning direction.
Finally, before he completely entered the danger zone designated by the opponent, he stopped under the long steps.
"Actually, I guessed many years ago that you would come here one day. Why do you have to make this choice?"
"You know that it is taboo to break into the Life and Death Detention Center without permission. The areas there are things that none of us can touch. If you violate the laws and suffer backlash, even the heavens cannot reverse the consequences."
"A hundred years ago you knew how to compromise to fulfill your destiny. Why are you still so stubborn a hundred years later?"
"What on earth is worth risking everything for you..."
Yama looked at the young man and asked questions, but his tone was not like he was facing a criminal or a rebel, but like a helpless greeting to an old acquaintance who was unrepentant.
The young man chuckled when he heard his voice, seeming to sneer at the questions in his mouth.
"Knowing how to compromise...not being stubborn." He sneered, "Thank you for being able to say these words."
“But in fact, it’s because of the compromises made a hundred years ago that I’m where I am today.”
"My power was sealed and forgotten along with the memory of 'her'. Because of this, I have to stay here and become a lackey working for the underworld, and you are just the lackeys of heaven."
"Actually, am I obligated to follow your arrangements for what I want to do? I've long been tired of seeing this extremely dazzling collar you put on me. For hundreds of years, I have kept my peace in order to repay 'her' karma. Now this karma It's the end, so why should I let myself watch as I forget 'her'?"
"You ask me what is worthy of my desperate efforts..." He shook his head with a sarcastic smile and asked:
"And does my existence really have everything now?"
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, and just looked coldly into Yama's eyes. The latter seemed to be unable to find anything to refute his words, so he fell into silence for a moment.
Number 4, on the other hand, doesn't care what Yama is thinking. He only cares about whether the other party is really here to stop his plan.
In fact, Yama was one of the few old acquaintances in the underworld who had some friendship with him, and was one of the beings who knew some of his past events, so he was not that surprised that the ghost king sent by the underworld was Yama.
But some friendships will not affect their stance. After all, he knows very well that Yama is different from him. The other party is the ghost king who is truly under the control of the underworld.
Troublesome things appeared in front of him as he expected, and he would not sit still and wait for death, but for him at this time, delaying time was the best choice.
In order to test in advance whether the other party had any plans to take action and additional trump cards, he slowly glanced at Yan Luo, put on a joking tone and chuckled:
"If you really want to stop me instead of just persuading me, even now I may not be able to defeat you alone."
No. 4 didn't know what Yama had in mind when he approached him alone, but he didn't show any troublesome emotions. The various ghosts and monsters behind Yama looked mighty, but they still seemed afraid to approach them. In this case, he felt that he had a chance of winning.
Before he came here, he had long been prepared to face any outcome. Things had reached this point and no one could stop him.
With his thoughts at this point, he let out a long sigh, turned around and faced the hundreds of ghosts who were surrounding him at the bottom of the stairs. After a cold glance, he raised the fire wall again, and this time he blocked Yama Luo's intrusion again. Road, when their surroundings were completely covered by burning and beating spiritual fire, he raised his eyes again and looked at Yama Luo, and said:
"If you want to prevent my plan from carrying out your so-called heavenly punishment, you must first pass through me."
Yan Luo looked at No. 4's red eyes for a moment and then looked away. However, he stood still and did not move. He just turned his gaze to the huge door behind him, shook his head and said:
"I didn't expect that you would still be so persistent that you would actually bring a living person to the Life and Death Detention Center..."
"Not all humans can think of the same person she was in the past..."
Yama knew that guy No. 4 had actually been brooding over her for more than a hundred years since "she" disappeared. Even if the contract wore off and sealed his memory and power, it seemed that it could not wear away and suppress his obsession.
But sometimes being too obsessed is not a good thing. This is true for people, and it is also true for ghosts. Obsession means extreme emotions, and most of the time emotions will wear away over the long years until they can no longer be remembered. Its original appearance, the obsession left behind like this is terrifying and crazy.
In fact, No. 4 and that "her" are also... Isn't all this a farce caused by obsession?
Yan Luo took a deep breath due to some recalled memories, looked at No. 4's unrepentant look again, and asked:
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are willing to pay someone back?"
Number 4 sneered: "Don't get me wrong, I have never thought that this identity is a good thing. The votive person is just one of the shackles you left behind, and now it is over."
"But you are right. As a person who has made a wish, shouldn't I do whatever I want? I have the right to realize my wish."
Yama frowned and said, "Some things cannot be realized just by thinking about them. People who wish can realize their wishes, but they cannot realize their own wishes."
"Even if you go to find her in the book of life and death, you won't get any results. It will only increase the punishment for yourself and innocent people... Didn't you commit enough crimes back then?"
"You can't find her, she's gone." Yama really didn't seem to have any intention of starting a fight, but still stood there with a compassionate gesture, "You are just ruining the life of another child."
When Yama said this, he suddenly looked at No. 4's wrist, and continued as if sighing: "It seems that she can't come out, and your relationship has been broken."
No. 4 was startled when he heard this, and suddenly came back to look at his arm tied with a red rope.
He saw that the red rope that originally extended into the vortex had gradually dissipated from the other end. The originally long red rope was getting shorter and shorter, and returned to the end of the circle on his arm, and right there The moment the end of the red rope was so short that it touched his arm, the red rope on his wrist shattered like glass, turning into countless tiny red diamonds that flew away and disappeared.
He was stunned for a moment as he looked at the dissipating red rope, and then the next moment he felt his heart tightening suddenly, and an overwhelming feeling of panic swept over him from the bottom of his heart.
This time, he did not stand still. Instead, he turned around and stepped forward to touch the blue vortex, but was blocked by an invisible barrier. The vortex was close in front of him, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"The fate is broken...she didn't chase her out?"
He murmured in a low voice, raised his hand and struck hard on the barrier in front of him.
"I said that not all imitations will be successful," Yama Luo said. "Her ability to return from that space in the past was really just an example, because she was special enough. In fact, even fate cannot really stop humans from being in that space. Lost in it.”
But No. 4 didn't listen to his words. He just stopped in front of the invisible barrier at the door of the Life and Death Detention Center and angrily beat the wall that he couldn't break through.
The crack in space was clearly close at hand, but he couldn't take any step forward.
After several attempts to tap to no avail, he finally put down his hand, looked at the crack that was beyond his reach, and unconsciously said the girl's name.
"Tang Yuanyuan..."
