Chapter 814 [Illegal Immigrant]
“I feel like there are a lot of things we can discuss!”
The eyes of the bald head instantly brighten up. Liu Yi feels that dollar signs are flashing in his eyes.
“Talking about that, as a cultivator why do you want so much money?”
Towards this point, Liu Yi is unable to understand.
“Isn’t money something that we don’t come with when born and take away when dead? What is more important than immortality?”
“Alas, too naive.”
The bald boss chuckles, “Do you know why the ancient kings chased after immortality?”
“Because they have money and power thus they wished to live even longer.”
“That’s right. They had money and power so they wished to live even longer!”
The bald boss nods his head, “If you are poor, then what is the point of living? Even if you can live longer it is still an eternity of suffering! Thus I have already seen through it. Longevity and money, I shall have both!”
What he says is not without basis. If a person doesn’t even have a single cent, there does not seem like there is any meaning to life…
But Liu Yi feels that what he is chasing after is at a deeper level. He had the money and what he needs now is a person who can accompany him.
With only money, but solitary immortality then how is there any joy?
If we become a pair who would want to die. A pair of mandarin ducks do not envy immortals.
“Enough. Let’s discuss business.”
The bald boss stretches out two fingers, “If you want to get into Fengdu City, you need this sum.”
“20k?”
Liu Yi feels that this price is reasonable.
“No, no, no. Youngster. 20k and you wish to get into Fengdu City? It is not enough for me to visit even a single prost.i.tute!”
The bald boss’s face is filled with disdain, “You see this hotel that I open would I be lacking 20k?”
A Nouveau Rich is it!
Liu Yi can only increase it, “200k?”
“2m.” The bald boss says an astonishing value, “A single cent short won’t do.”
“Why don’t you go rob someone!”
Although my account wouldn’t be lacking, giving it to this bald boss like this feels not worth it!
He is a miser!
“This kind of matter was very dangerous!”
The bald boss takes a drag before breathing out a ring of smoke, “The people in Fengdu City are all very scary and they don’t welcome living people! Me sneaking you in is risking death! 2m is already very cheap! You have also seen that right now I am not lacking in money. I have not done this for a few hundred years! I also need to have my life to spend the 2m!”
“Then 2m it is. I will transfer it to you in a bit.”
No matter what, I do need to go to Fengdu City. Just treat it as spending this sum of money for Little la.s.s then I won’t have heartache!
“Straightforward!”
The bald boss smiles merrily, “Wait for me in this room. Later I will come and look for you. At that time, I will send to Fengdu City. After entering, it is up to you!”
“Then I shall wait here.”
A stone had finally fallen from Liu Yi’s heart.
“There are still a few hours. Do you need me to call a few girls? Just treat it as a free service!”
“No need.”
Liu Yi shakes his head like a rattle drum, “Being alone is fine.”
“You don’t know how to enjoy the life of a youngster!”
The bald boss shakes his head before leaving behind his bank account numbers and walks out.
“Hey, wait!”
Liu Yi recalls an important matter and immediately stops the boss from leaving.
“What is the matter? You thought it through?”
“Not that! I want to look for an old ghost called Qing Yise , but I don’t know how to find him. I heard that you have remarkable abilities, can you can point the way?”
The bald boss rubs his fingers together.
“That! You are too greedy!”
The bald boss insists, “This is information fee!”
“Blackheart b.a.s.t.a.r.d…”
Liu Yi can only discuss a price before using money to buy the information regarding Qing Yise.
After the boss finishes the explanation, he left.
Liu Yi sits back down on the bed as he feels weird in this heart.
This hotel boss is too weird …
But he is a bit greedy which Liu Yi feels that he can make good use of.
He sits back in peace as he meditates while waiting for the time to pa.s.s.
Meditating makes the time flow faster. Liu Yi had only revolved his qi for three big cycles when it is almost midnight.
The door was once again pushed open. The bald boss indeed came on time.
This time he is holding a bagua. The moment he enters the room, he did not speak as he pastes the bagua tile on the door.
Seeing that bald boss sticking that thing, Liu Yi cannot help but ask, “What is the meaning of this?”
“I will cast a curse on you to imitate being a dead person.”
As the bald boss speaks, he takes out a cinnabar dot on his forehead, “Very soon the Yin Messenger will come and take you away. You must remember not to say a single thing on the way and obediently follow him. If you speak before you reach Fengdu City, the Yin Messenger will see through you and at that time, it will be impossible for you to enter Fengdu City! I will also be implicated!”
Liu Yi nods his head, “I’ll pretend to be a mute.”
“Then why are you still not lying down!”
The bald boss glares at Liu Yi, “Have you seen a dead person who can stand and chat?”
Liu Yi became speechless and can only lie on the bed in the room. He closes his eyes and pretends to be a dead person.
But if he activates the black and white world, he can faintly see the surrounding movement.
The bald boss sits by the side as he turns on the tv pretending to be watching tv.
As the time went by minute by minute, soon it is almost at the 12 mark.
At this moment, Liu Yi heard the sound of bells very clearly.
-ding…ding…-
This bell sound causes Liu Yi’s hair to stand. I have caused chaos in the Yama Palace Hall but why would I feel afraid of this bell?
This bell is used on the soul of a person!
After thinking, Liu Yi came out with this conclusion.
The bell is still ringing and is getting closer and closer.
In Liu Yi’s black and white world, two figures suddenly appears at the door!
One is skinny and tall wearing black robe with a large ‘Messenger’ character on his chest.
Behind him is an enormous ox-head creature!
This ox-head creature is nearly 5 meters tall. His upper body penetrates through the ceiling of the room to the next floor!
This lower body is the furry hoof of an ox. As it walks, it causes the floor to tremble.
Ox-head, Horse-face?
Doesn’t seem to be them.
After all, Liu Yi had seen them while this ox-head creature does not look the same as the one he had seen at Yama Palace Hall!
The ox-head creature in front of him currently is an ox that is standing!
The bald boss pretends not to have seen them and instead is watching the tv program excitedly.
The Yin Messenger leads that ox-head and walks in front of Liu Yi.
The Yin Messenger is super pale with any hint of blood and is inhuman.
He bends over and carefully looks at Liu Yi’s face like he is observing something.
Liu Yi bears with his disgust as he pretends to be a dead person and also stops his breathing.
After all, with his cultivation he will still be fine even if he does not breath for a year or two.
The Yin Messenger sticks his face to Liu Yi’s and seems to use his nose to sniff twice before finally standing up. He then uses the bell and shakes it above Liu Yi’s head.
The bell rings out by Liu Yi’s ear.
The bald boss transmits his voice over to Liu Yi, {Stand up and follow him.}
Liu Yi shivers before slowly sitting up from the bed. Like a corpse, he walks to the ground.
The Yin Messenger nods his head in satisfaction when the ox-head suddenly walks over and tosses a shackle.
Liu Yi sensed danger but recalling the boss warning, he withstands his urge to block it.
The shackle pierces into Liu Yi’s chest before shackling around his collar bone.
This is a way to restrict me!
Very quickly Liu Yi understood because he senses that he is unable to call up his strength.
But it is not that serious. As long as I put in effort, I can break this shackle.
But if I wish to enter Fengdu City, I must pretend to be a dead person.
The bald boss lights up a cigar before transmitting to Liu Yi, {A day in the human realm is a year in Fengdu City. Good luck.}
While Liu Yi was led by that ox-head and followed behind him silently.
The Yin Messenger leads the way in front as he walks, he shakes the bell.
Liu Yi follows them and very quickly exits the hotel. How nice would it be if there is no need to take the stairs, it is a pity that the Yin Messenger does not know how to use the lift h…
The three of them walk like this. The people in the hotel do not seem to see them and allow them to exit from the main entrance of the hotel overtly.
Looks like this mole that the bald boss gave me has other effects other than being able to pretend to be a dead person, like turning invisible.
After exiting the hotel, Liu Yi senses that they had come to a parallel world!
Although the outside looks to be still Fengdu County it is deathly silent. On the road, there is not a single person or vehicle like it is a ghost city…
No…correctly speaking, this should be the ghost city!
{Benefactor..looks like we have already entered Fengdu City…}
Meng Xi transmits her voice to Liu Yi within the yin wind.
{That’s right…I spent over two million and have finally entered!}
Now the next thing to do is to find Qing Yise.
Based on what the boss had said, Qing Yise should be in a casino in Fengdu City and the casino name should be Daihatsu Casino.
Looks like this old ghost also did not forget gambling after dying. Nature doesn’t change even in death!
[TL: Qing Yise basically means Full flush in mahjong basically all, bamboos, numbers or dots]
Liu Yi follows behind the Yin Messenger as they walk deep into Fengdu City. After walking deep inside, Liu Yi realizes that this Fengdu City seems to become lively.
A lot of ghosts are walking around on the streets. These ghosts are no different from normal people as they reside in Fengdu City.
Fengdu City is the parallel world of Fengdu County. As before there are tall-buildings just that it is a bit more gloomy and seems like there will not have any daytime.
Liu Yi sees a few Yin Messenger also leading spirits before walking towards a direction.
Where do they want to bring me to?
Chapter 815 [Still need to work!]
If it was like what Yang Mainmian said, Fengdu City is very big which is countless of times bigger than the small Kunlun Mountain!
Liu Yi follows that Yin Messenger and walks for an entire 30 minutes before they reached their objective.
Liu Yi raises his head and realizes that this is a f.u.c.king prison!
Why did he bring me here?
Inside the prison, Yin Messengers are walking about like they are looking after this place.
Deeper areas of the prison are looked after by those enormous ox-heads. It seems like they are slightly more capable than those Yin Messengers.
The Yin Messenger escorts Liu Yi into a cell and locked the shackles on his chest to the wall in the cell before shaking the bell in front of his forehead. He then turned around, locking the cell door and left.
Liu Yi looks around and realizes that other than him in the cell, there are also a few other ghosts who were locked up.
These ghosts have their own thoughts and ability to move about. Seeing a newcomer entering, some look at him while others are lost in thoughts by the side.
There is nothing in the prison cell, after all, all of them are ghosts and do not need to eat or s.h.i.t which is much more convenient.
One that also seems to be a new ghost floats over to Liu Yi’s side and ask, “Brother…how did you die?”
“This…I do not know. I was in a daze and then I died.”
Liu Yi also does not know how to explain and just made up an excuse, “Talking about this…why am I here…”
“Alas, this is our Fengdu County’s fate…”
That ghost sighs and says faintly, “In the past, I thought that the Ghost City was a rumor. Right now I know that it is real…when we people from Fengdu County die, we will be brought here by the Yin Messengers and locked up in his prison…”
“Why lock us here?”
Liu Yi can’t understand this, “Shouldn’t the souls of the deceased enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation?”
“That is in other places. Fengdu County does not have reincarnation. Only this heartless metropolis.”
That ghost should have made inquiries from other ghosts and says in remorse, “When people from Fengdu County die, they will be brought to this Fengdu City and become a slave! Fengdu City seems to be a hierarchy city. We are the lowest rank and must work. When we work we will acc.u.mulate contributions. When we acc.u.mulate to a certain degree, we will obtain soul value then using this soul value we can break away from our slave ident.i.ty and become a citizen of Fengdu City! Citizens also can continue to work and continue to acc.u.mulate soul value which can be used to continuously exchange for higher ident.i.ty from citizen to manager to governor.”
“So this way…one must live in this Fengdu City for many generations forever unable to reincarnate?”
Liu Yi cannot help but frown. The cultivators of Fengdu City play this kind of path.
“I heard that when you acc.u.mulate to a heaven-defying soul value, it seems like you can choose to reincarnate. Furthermore, you will reincarnate to a decent ident.i.ty!”
That ghost is full of expectations as he says, “I work hard so I can become a manager…I heard that the managers in Fengdu City will possess a certain amount of authority, tsk, tsk…getting a bit excited thinking about it!”
Liu Yi starts sweating. This ghost seems to be easily comforted!
But Liu Yi feels that this matter does not seem to be that simple. There seems to be something hidden behind…
It is hard being a letter deliverer…this group of inner pavilion sects, each one is more mysterious than the other!
Liu Yi decided to rest for a while and takes a look at the situation tomorrow before deciding on what to do next.
After all the time pa.s.ses very slowly in Fengdu City. I have more than enough time to think about this situation and then make my decision.
“After becoming a ghost, it is painful being unable to sleep …”
That brother who spoke to Liu Yi sighs and says, “I died around a month ago and I’m still not accustomed to it…brother I am called Sun Qingchen. In the future, if you have any matters you can tell me and I shall help you.”
“Thank you, Brother Sun.”
Liu Yi nods his head. This is exactly the result that he wanted. This brother is rather pa.s.sionate.
“How did Brother Sun die?”
A few people discussing how they died, the feeling is rather weird.
“Don’t mention it…d.a.m.n unlucky!”
Sun Qingchen wishes to cry when he talks about this, “I was not a person of Fengdu County and was here as a tourist! In the end, due to an accident, I died together with my girlfriend!”
“Ah? What accident?”
“Me and my girlfriend went bungee jumping. My girlfriend, she was a silly but amusing person and insisted on testing the sense of security of two people. She also did not put on her safety feature and hugged me before jumping down! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l! Back then my cord was also not tied up yet so both of us fell down the precipice!”
Liu Yi holds back his laughter!
Didn’t Murong Die also do this before? But luckily I am a cultivator thus the two of us are still alive until now. Femme Fatale…came from this!
“Brother Sun don’t grieve.”
This is the first time saying to a dead person don’t grieve. What a weird feeling.
“Where is Brother Sun’s girlfriend?”
“In a different cell.”
Sun Qingchen sighs, “Only when working can I see her. Counting the time…it seems like it is almost time to work. At that time, I shall introduce her…right, brother what is your name?”
“I am called Liu Dapo. Brother Sun can just call me Dapo.”
Liu Yi says his fake name from j.a.pan. After all, Liu Yi is a famous name in the cultivator world. Just in case, it is best to hold back some stuff.
“Liu Dapo…why are you called this. In the future, I shall call you Dapo.”
“Okay then… Brother Sun have you heard of a place called Daihatsu Casino?”
“Ah? Never heard of it!”
Sun Qingchen shakes his head, “Ever since I came here, I have always been in either the work place or the prison cell. I never went to other places. Wanting to change into a citizen ident.i.ty needs 50k soul value and right now I have already acc.u.mulated 15 soul value. I need to work hard and gather 100k soul value together with my girlfriend then we can leave this d.a.m.n place together!”
What the f.u.c.k…one month for 15 soul value. If you want to gather 50k soul value…roughly one would need …270+ years!
This is…unbelievable!
Thinking about this number, Liu Yi feels like he is falling apart.
“Brother Sun…270+years, can you really acc.u.mulate it?”
“What? 270+ years?”
Sun Qingchen got a huge shock as he stares at Liu Yi in disbelieve, “Isn’t it 270+ days? What the heck, I calculated wrongly! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, nearly 300 years! Are you for real!”
Sun Qingchen seems to be unable to take it as he shouts hysterically.
“Actually there is no need to be so long.”
At this moment a ghost sitting at the corner says faintly, “What you are doing now is only some simple job. Wait till you have done it for a long time, you can do some higher rank jobs…at that time, the amount of soul value that you obtain will naturally be higher…but to become a citizen within the shortest period… will be a hundred years…”
Liu Yi cups his hands and asks, “May I know how long you’ve been here?”
“Not long…just 60+ years…”
What the f.u.c.k an old ghost!
Don’t know how many years Qing Yise has stayed here for.
Actually living for so many years and never going mad.
“One hundred years… need a hundred years…”
Sun Qingchen is blanking out there as he draws small circles on the ground.
Liu Yi says in his heart, am I right or wrong to remind him about this point?
Just as Liu Yi is considering how to comfort him, he did not expect that that fellow would stand up and grasp his fist and says, “Fine! 100 years then 100 years! After all, I am already a ghost, even if I live a hundred years I will not die!”
“To be able to live in this Fengdu City, even if it is a hundred years I must strive to work hard! Xinxin, wait for me! Very soon, I will bring you out of this nest of devils!”
What the, this brother is rather optimistic!
“Brother Sun is really optimistic!”
Liu Yi has to give him a thumbs up.
“Humans must always look forward, right?”
Sun Qingchen laughs, “Even if I am pa.s.sively pessimistic I must also live a hundred years. I might even do it longer. I’ll just be a bit more proactive and endure a hundred years. After a hundred years, I can become a free citizen!”
“Mm. Brother Sun do your best.”
Liu Yi congratulates him with his mouth but is planning other things in his heart.
Why does Fengdu City want to come up with this kind of hierarchy? What are they hiding?
I definitely cannot endure a few hundred years here climbing up bit by bit. After all I had already entered Fengdu City, it is time for me to loosen my fists and legs.
Liu Yi starts to chat with Sun Qingchen and in a while, there came the sounds of bells from outside.
“It is time to work.”
Sun Qingchen takes a deep breath. “Today I must also perform properly!”
While he is speaking a few Yin Messengers walk over. One of them opens the door before taking down those chains from the wall before stuffing it into the hands of an ox-head creature behind him.
“Time to work! All of you be alert for me!”
A Yin Messenger raises his whip and whips the ghosts who are standing up lazily, “Those who are lazy, be careful of my whip!”
“Time to go. Just follow me!”
Sun Qingchen is rather proactive as he walks out with wide strides as he tells Liu Yi.
Liu Yi silently follows behind Sun Qingchen. He plans to look at the work they are doing.
Under the watch of the Yin Messengers, Liu Yi and Sun Qingchen and the rest walk out of the prison.
A lot of slave ghosts were also being herded as they walked out as well.
They came to a plaza not far behind the prison and Liu Yi sees a hundred and eight golden men placed in the plaza!
These golden men are a few hundred meters tall with strange amulets carved on them.
Two chain links their body together which winds around an enormous lower millstone.
In total there are a hundred and eight lower millstones and on the top of each of them are a thousand iron pillars.
Sun Qingchen and Liu Yi walks in front of a pillar under the urging of a Yin Messenger and pushes it.
Over ten thousand ghosts push a millstone and with a hundred and eight of them, naturally one will know how many ghosts there are!
Under the command of the Yin Messengers, the ghosts start to push the millstone!
