No. 4 stopped in front of the door of the Life and Death Detention Center that he could not enter. The girl's name murmured and echoed under his repeated calls, as if he could call the girl back.
Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan.
Just this name is enough to make him not care about her cruelty.
This name carries his only memory that has not been blurred and erased. It has been chanted in his heart for more than a hundred years. This name is so familiar to him that it seems to have been engraved into his body.
This name once symbolized a very special girl to him, but now that he met Tang Yuanyuan, who had the same name as her, how could he not just pay more attention to her appearance?
This is why he was so hesitant when he heard Tang Yuanyuan tell her name.
And the reason why he chose Tang Yuanyuan at first was actually because Tang Yuanyuan was so similar to that "her".
More than once, he seemed to have seen his familiar shadow in Tang Yuanyuan, and felt the aura from her that he missed so much.
So before bringing Tang Yuanyuan to the underworld, he hesitated and thought about it. In fact, if he could, could he choose not to just break this fate and use another contract or promise to keep the relationship between them? Related, it seems good to stay in this world for a little longer.
But in the end, he chose the rare open opportunity in the Life and Death Detention Center and made a failed bet.
He was the complete loser in this bet, and in the end gained nothing but regret.
Why did Tang Yuanyuan fail to return using the same method? Was it really just because "she" was special enough?
In fact, he never thought that this attempt would really cost a girl's life. He ended up like this because he was too impatient and insisted on going his own way. But compared with the price Tang Yuanyuan paid, his heart filled with tears. The disappointment and regret are not worth mentioning.
This is an unfair contract and transaction...
No. 4 punched the invisible wall in front of the crack with a heavy fist, gritted his teeth and clicked his tongue, then raised his eyes unwillingly and stared at the door, but still did not see any existence appearing from it. signs.
On the contrary, Yama, who had been standing not far away from him, was muttering to himself one after another, and his face changed slightly when he heard the name he shouted.
"Yuanyuan...? Whose name did you call? Have you found 'her'?"
No. 4 was in no mood to answer Yama's question. He just took a step back and cursed "Damn" in a low voice. Then he raised his hand and ignited a blue fire, and punched the invisible barrier heavily with his fist.
But no matter how much spiritual power and energy he uses, the wall that he can't touch will not be lost at all.
"Don't waste your efforts." Yama said, "We ghosts are not qualified to set foot in that space. Don't say that no matter how hard you knock, it won't work."
"You are just struggling in vain, and if you really damage the entrance, the people who enter will really not be able to come back."
Number 4's fist that was about to strike again suddenly stopped because of Yama's words. He was silent for a few seconds and then put down his hand, and the flames on his fist disappeared.
He turned his head with a low curse, and took a few steps back again, but still refused to leave the blue whirlpool door. He stared at the crack, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
The center of the vortex was glowing blue, and it was a bottomless pit with no end. The huge vortex was still spinning, and its color looked just like the clean and beautiful eyes of Tang Yuanyuan that he saw on weekdays.
The girl walked in because of his words, but did not see her return as he wished.
"...Tang Yuanyuan..." He stood there and clenched his fists, staring at the empty abyss for a long time. Finally, he slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes, shaking his head towards the door in a low voice.
"......sorry."
The air was silent for a long time, and even Yan Luo, who was standing aside with a complicated expression, only looked at him and did not do anything.
I don't know how long this deathly silence lasted. Just when No. 4 was about to raise his head and open his eyes, he suddenly had a special premonition, and his heart trembled for no reason.
"I'm still alive, don't act like I died a heroic sacrifice!"
The girl's familiar voice sounded clearly in his ears. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the huge door again, but he still didn't see Tang Yuanyuan's shadow.
"Hallucination?" He asked himself, but the next second he felt funny. How could he have such a hallucination because of Tang Yuanyuan?
"Hey... look at the door of the Life and Death Detention Center..."
"The whirlpool and cracks in the gate seem to be changing!"
"I haven't seen such a big change in the Life and Death Detention Center in hundreds of years...!"
"Is there something coming out of that door...?!"
Suddenly, exclamations one after another suddenly began to echo from the ghosts gathered behind them, and as soon as those exclamations came in response, the voices also rose in volume.
No. 4 couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the cries of the ghosts behind him. He also saw that the fluctuations of the blue vortex in the huge door suddenly became extremely chaotic.
This was a change that had never happened in the past life and death detention center. The door that had always been opened and closed according to its own rules seemed to be forcibly controlled by some force and broke through. It changed from a whirlpool crack into a Huge void.
There was a huge hole that seemed like someone was about to rush out.
Is it her?
No. 4's heart tightened as he looked at the empty space. This was the first question that came to his mind.
To the surprise of all the ghosts, including him, the next second something's snow-white front paws were the first to rush out of the huge blue vortex door.
Bright orange flames burned between the ankles of the huge paw, and the owner of the front paw jumped out of the empty door shortly after. It was the huge white demon fox, whose body almost occupied the entire space. It reached two-thirds of the height of the huge blue whirlpool door that was about ten meters high.
When all the ghosts present had just recovered from the shock, the nine swaying tails of the fox happened to rush out of the door. At this moment, its front paws landed firmly on the ground, and its entire body passed the door. The wall of fire, which was not too high, suddenly fell onto the huge open space where the dispersed ghost group had been.
Not to mention Yama, No. 4 was also stunned.
"You also let a fox into the Life and Death Detention Center?"
"The girl you brought is a fox?"
The two asked questions at the same time, and then they realized that it was not the same thing. They had to look at the huge nine-tailed demon fox together, but they couldn't figure out anything.
The girl's voice sounded from the fox again, causing all the ghosts and monsters around to fall into complete silence.
"Tian... I just realized today that I'm not only seasick, I'm also a little bit sick..."
While Tang Yuanyuan was talking like this, she was a little confused. Beidi raised her head from the fluffy snow-white fox fur. In order to ensure that she was back to a sober state, she sat on Zhen's body and shook her head.
When her thoughts and vision became clear again, she raised her eyes to look at this familiar yet unfamiliar environment.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it carefully, but when you look carefully, Tang Yuanyuan breaks out in cold sweat.
When she entered the gate of the Life and Death Detention Center, the wide square outside was still empty. At this time, it was filled with densely packed ghosts and ghosts. Looking at the ghosts gathered here, it was so dark that it was impossible to find a way out.
The place where Zhen crossed the door was about halfway up the stairs, and he stopped in front of the group of ghosts surrounded by ghosts. Although at this moment, most of the ghosts seemed to be frightened by this completely unexpected situation. She kept backing away and didn't dare to get close, but except for the fact that she was sitting on the tall fox, they could be considered very close to Tang Yuanyuan.
If those guys reacted and pounced on her in a swarm, she would be in danger.
Just as he was thinking this, the voices of some of the surrounding ghosts and ghosts reacted to his ears.
"The demon fox...that fox is a nine-tailed demon fox with a cultivation level of more than a thousand years!!"
"It smells like human beings... Someone actually came out of the Life and Death Detention Center!!"
"Bringing a living person into the underworld and breaking into the Life and Death Detention Center is a serious crime!"
As soon as Tang Yuanyuan saw the battle, she knew that she and No. 4 must have been regarded as wanted criminals for violating the regulations of the underworld. She knew that these ghosts were not here to live in harmony and welcome her back, so her first reaction when she regained consciousness was to Don't drag No. 4 on his horse and run away now.
But when she tried to find the figure of No. 4, she found that there was no familiar face among the ghosts, so she quickly looked back for the red thread in her hand. Only then did he discover No. 4, who was still staying not far from the gate of the Life and Death Detention Center.
"Oops... I jumped too far..." Tang Yuanyuan looked back at the door that she had finally left. She thought quickly in her mind for a while, and finally decided to return to No. 4, so she did not rush through. He got off Zhen, but continued to lie on its shoulder and whispered:
"Zhen, let's go back to the door. We need to take someone with us."
Hearing her words, Zhen couldn't help but squint his eyes and glance around, and whispered: "Is there a human here?"
Tang Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment by its rhetorical question, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter whether you are a person or not. In short, I still have someone I need to take away with me. And if nothing else happens, we If you want to leave the underworld easily, you have to rely on him."
She paused for a moment before saying, "Besides, I have an agreement with him, and I have something to tell him."
"Okay, you are the master, I will follow your arrangements." With that said, Zhen swept around among the ghosts again and turned back to the direction of the gate of Shengshengbo Detention Center.
The ghosts around him had a tendency to escape immediately, and a few brave ones gathered around him, but as soon as he pressed down, he also exhaled a mouthful of hot fire, and the heat wave instantly spread. After driving away the surrounding ghosts, it jumped with all its strength and once again jumped back into the ring of fire surrounded by No. 4.
Tang Yuanyuan lay on its shoulder, staring at the two figures in the blue ring of fire as it leaped into the air, and shouted:
"Stop getting in between them! What we're looking for is the one on the left!"
"clear."
Zhen jumped up in the air and changed direction easily, rushing straight into the gap between No. 4 and Yama. When the two people locked by it saw the menacing giant fox monster leaping towards them, they all wisely retreated and pulled away. distance.
It only took a moment to pounce, and Zhen followed Tang Yuanyuan's instructions and landed firmly between the two. Then he turned around and blocked No. 4 in front of him, and breathed out a piece of fire mist with heat waves towards the Yaya Yama.
