Film and Television: Living in an Apartment, Part-Time Soul Ferryman

Page 38

Fatty Wang suddenly realized, "I know, so this is a mirage?"

Li Yang shook his head. "That's not the case. The ability to transform realms is truly amazing. Everything we see and touch here (Wang Wanghao) is real!"

"You can even eat the food here!"

Smelling the rich aroma of stewed beef in the air, Li Yang smiled at the astonished crowd and asked, "Can you smell the beef?"

"The moment this Shadow Evil City was materialized into the real world, there happened to be a family stewing beef. Shall we go and taste the culinary skills of a chef from thousands of years ago?"

Everyone refused.

God knows if eating the food here will leave any lasting health problems.

Li Yang shook his head. "Since you've already come here, you must have developed symptoms!"

"If you don't believe me, just look at your own shoulders!"

Everyone immediately took off their clothes, exposing their shoulders.

Except for Shirley Yang, everyone else had red eye-shaped curse marks on their shoulders!

Even experts like Hu Yifei and soul ferrymen like Zhao Li are no exception.

Everyone got infected!

"What the hell, what's going on?"

Why do we have the curse of red-eyed markings on our bodies?

"Hey, it hurts!"

"Hey Sherry, why don't you have the red-eye curse mark on you?"

"Wait a minute, I remember Shirley Yang had a red-eye curse before, what happened to it?"

Li Yang explained, "This place has been covered by the imaginary space of the Chaos Serpent God, so anyone who enters here will inevitably be cursed with red-eyed markings!"

Zhao Li nudged Li Yang's shoulder but found no curse. He asked, "Why weren't you affected?"

Li Yang spread his hands, "Because I'm immune to all evil!"

Everyone remembered that Li Yang's blood had the effect of exorcising evil spirits, and they wanted him to help lift the curse of the red-eyed mark.

Hu Yifei glanced at Shirley Yang's smooth shoulders, then at the red eye-shaped curse mark on her right shoulder. Hesitation flickered in her eyes, but a hint of secret delight was hidden deep within.

"Li Yang, come with me!"

"Is there a problem?"

Li Yang followed Hu Yifei to a secluded corner.

Hu Yifei stared intently at him. "I need your help to break the curse!"

Chapter Forty-Four: Boys must protect themselves when they're out! The Final Ceremony!

Can the curse be lifted?

Li Yang's gaze unconsciously drifted to Hu Yifei, whose smooth, white shoulders were revealed by her off-the-shoulder T-shirt.

However, there is an unsightly red eye mark on her right shoulder, which ruins the aesthetic appeal.

Seeing Li Yang staring intently at her right shoulder, Hu Yifei blushed slightly and feigned indifference, saying:

"Give me a straight answer, whether it's okay or not. Stop being so indecisive, you're acting like a woman!"

Li Yang nodded.

"That's possible. You just need to smear my blood on the Red-Eyed Mark Curse to purify it, but..."

Before Li Yang could finish speaking, he noticed that Hu Yifei was staring at him with a dangerous look.

A sharp wisp of sword energy severed a few strands of hair that were fluttering on Li Yang's forehead.

Li Yang was startled.

"Why are you suddenly angry?"

Hu Yifei gritted her teeth, "That night, did you also lift the curse on Shirley Yang in this way?"

Li Yang was silent for a moment, then said guiltily, "More or less..."

Whoosh!

Hu Yifei delivered a karate chop to Li Yang's ear.

A sharp sword aura erupted from his fingertips, cleaving a cave behind Li Yang in two!

"Hmph, Li Yang, think it over before you speak. The consequence of deceiving me will be the same as this cave—I'll cut it in two!"

Li Yang was a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well admit that he had slept with Shirley Yang that night, could he?

Hu Yifei lost her patience, grabbed Li Yang's shoulders, pulled him in front of her, and kissed him hard on the lips.

This kiss will last forever!

It wasn't until Long Kui in the Divine Demon Sword became jealous and emitted a scorching aura from the sword that Hu Yifei was jolted out of her dreamlike state.

Hu Yifei blushed, pushed Li Yang away, and glanced at her right shoulder with feigned composure.

The color of the red-eye markings has faded considerably.

A smile appeared in Hu Yifei's eyes. Sure enough, Li Yang's saliva also had the effect of exorcising evil spirits. Although it was not as powerful as blood, it could remove the curse if used a few more times!

Seeing that Li Yang was still savoring the kiss, Hu Yifei tensed up, coughed lightly, glanced to the side, and gestured wildly while trying to explain herself:

"Don't overthink it, please don't overthink it. It's just a matter of helping someone in need. We're all people of the same ilk, and besides, we're good friends, right?"

"Since we're good friends, you can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"

"I know you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die!"

If anyone familiar with Hu Yifei were here, they would know she was lying.

Because every time Hu Yifei lies, her eyes dart around, her hands and feet move unnaturally, her speech repeats itself, and she even wrinkles her nose!

Hu Yifei just demonstrated all four of these characteristics.

Unfortunately, Hu Yifei actually had a mole who knew her inside and out.

Longkui's voice echoed in Li Yang's mind.

"Brother, don't be fooled by Yifei, she's lying!"

“Every time she lies, she avoids eye contact, her hands and feet become unresponsive, and she keeps repeating what she said before!”

"I feel like she's wanted to kiss you for a long time!"

Li Yang chuckled to himself, "Alright, Long Kui, stop tattling. Maybe Yi Fei just wants me to lift the curse."

Longkui pouted and advised:

"Brother, you must not be careless. The prettier the girl, the more likely she is to lie. Boys must protect themselves when they are out!"

What else could Li Yang say but thank Long Kui for the reminder?

"Li Yang, how about you go all the way and do it twice more? That should break the curse on the red-eyed mark. What do you say?"

Hu Yifei looked at Li Yang with sparkling eyes.

Li Yang shook his head, "No rush, the red-eyed mark curse will still be useful later!"

The two rejoined the group.

Li Yang explained to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. Once the imaginary space passage closes, the Red Eye Mark Curse will be lifted on its own!"

"However, before that, the red-eyed curse can solve a big problem!"

"Next, we need to find the Demon Kingdom Altar!"

"And the altar is located in the underground lake beneath that wind-eroded lake!"

"Below the wind-eroded lake are two underground lakes, and in the center of the second underground lake is an extinct volcano!"

"Inside that extinct volcano is a demonic temple, and inside the temple is a stone door, behind which is a white crystal tunnel!"

"To safely pass through the white crystal tunnel, you must close your eyes tightly, otherwise danger will occur!"

"Because according to legend, this crystal tunnel is inhabited by an evil spirit called 'Mahakala Thunder Mountain'!"

Ak, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.

"Daheitian Thunder Mountain? That's an evil spirit that can control mines. If a person accidentally makes eye contact with it, not only will their soul be sucked away, but it will also cause a mining disaster, smashing their body into mincemeat!"

Only then did everyone understand why they had to close their eyes when passing through the crystal tunnel!

Li Yang added, "The danger in that tunnel isn't just the Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain, but also an extremely dangerous venomous snake!"

"This venomous snake is entirely black, with a fleshy growth on its head that resembles an eye. Its name is... Pure Vision Agama. It holds a very high position in the Demon Kingdom and is considered to be the messenger of the Chaos Serpent God!"

"The poison of the Pure Vision Agama is extremely potent; it can even cause death by a single drop of blood!"

"They are hidden inside the caves in the crystal tunnel, and they will attack without hesitation if any outsiders intrude!"

"But they won't attack people with the red-eyed curse, because those cursed people are chosen as sacrifices to the snake god, and those black snakes naturally won't touch their leader's food!"

As Li Yang explained how to get to the Demon Kingdom's altar, the group arrived at the shore of the Wind-Eroded Lake, changed into their diving gear, and jumped into the water.

Coincidentally.

In the depths of the wind-eroded lake, two giant striped dragons and the white-bearded fish king were locked in a fierce battle.

The Whitebeard Fish King, leading his brood of fish, barely managed to fight the two striped dragons to a draw.

Later, more and more large white-bearded fish joined the battle. The two giant striped dragons fought and retreated, only to find that Li Yang and his group had cut off their retreat.

Just as the two striped dragons were about to unleash their fury, Hu Yifei unleashed two sword energies, instantly killing them!

Upon witnessing this scene, the white-bearded fish king, who had already become a spirit, was so frightened that he led his fish offspring and grandchildren in a hasty retreat.

The group found the underwater passage and followed the water flow into the first underground lake.

Then, they found a passage in the first underground lake to go to the second underground lake. After surfacing, they saw the extinct volcano in the center of the lake.

The extinct volcano was not large, but it showed signs of human intervention both inside and out. A fire lizard was lying on the crater, staring fiercely at Li Yang and his group of uninvited guests.

Before Hu Yifei could even make a move, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang fired a rocket and sent it straight to hell.

The space at the bottom of the volcano is quite large, with a well-like structure in the middle and a tightly closed stone door.

The stone gate looks very ancient, with a sliding stone ball at the bottom as an opening and closing mechanism. There are no superfluous decorations on the gate, only two huge eyes carved on it!

Eye-shaped totems are ubiquitous in this underground space. The only difference between the giant eyes on the stone gate and those on the stone gate is that their eyelids are closed.

"This is the natural tunnel formed by the crystallized ore that I mentioned before; it's the only way to enter the altar!"

"Everyone, close your eyes and don't open them! I'll lead the way!"

Li Yang pushed open the stone door and curiously peeked inside.

Behind the door was a deep, natural cave containing a large number of rock crystals formed after a volcanic eruption, emitting a faint night glow!

In the dimly lit underground space, a winding white tunnel is embedded in the stone wall.

Sudden.

A blurry black shadow emerged from the crystal of the white tunnel, transforming into a grotesque ghost face that grinned menacingly at Li Yang!

Li Yang felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if something was trying to pull his soul out of his body.

But then, a piercing scream came from inside the tunnel!

Li Yang's vision returned to normal, and he saw the dark shadow explode like fireworks.

The wisps of black smoke, like caterpillars wriggling on the ground, struggled to piece themselves together.

As Li Yang stepped into the white tunnel, a sound like ghosts howling and wolves wailing came from inside the tunnel's crystal!

For a moment, the others following behind Li Yang were all taken aback.

"What's going on? I think I heard someone scream?"

"I heard it too!"

"This sound is wrong. It doesn't sound like a human scream; it sounds like a vengeful ghost screaming!"

How do you know it's a vengeful ghost screaming?
