āNo... Iām not a dead person... Iām still alive...ā Chu He screamed in terror. His hand was still touching his body all over as though he was trying to confirm if he was really dead.
Liu Yun was abnormally bold. He reached out and pulled Chu Heās face. He said in disbelief, āHeās clearly a normal person. How can he be a dead person?ā
Zhou Wen couldnāt tell in what way Chu He was a dead person. His body, heart rate, and temperature were all normal. Apart from appearing a little slow in thought, he couldnāt tell how he looked like a dead person.
However, if Chu He hadnāt died, it was difficult to explain how he entered Netherworld City so long ago only to claim that he had only entered today.
āIf you arenāt afraid that his soul will dissipate and vanish forever, take him out of the city,ā said City Lord Netherworld as he made way.
āCan we really leave?ā Liu Yun looked at City Lord Netherworld with distrust.
In the years he had spent in society, he naturally understood the principle that human words couldnāt be trusted. Also, it was a dimensional creature who said those words. Furthermore, it was the owner of the netherworld. It sounded like true nonsense.
āAs long as he isnāt afraid of his soul dissipating, just walk out of Netherworld City,ā City Lord Netherworld said indifferently.
āProfessor Chu, what do you think? Do you want to go out with us?ā Liu Yun asked Chu He.
āI want to go out. Iām not a dead person,ā Chu He hurriedly said.
Zhou Wen looked at City Lord Netherworld and asked, āWe also entered Netherworld City. Why are we not dead, but Professor Chu He is?ā
City Lord Netherworld seemed to be very patient. He glanced at Zhou Wen and answered, āDidnāt the ghost gates make it clear when you entered the city? None of the three ironclad rules of Netherworld City can be violated. Since he didnāt walk out the city alive on the day he entered, heās naturally dead.ā
āIām not dead... Iām really not dead... Donāt believe him... Take me away...ā Chu Heās eyes were bloodshot and his mental state was very unstable.
It wasnāt Chu Heās fault. Anyone who suddenly heard, in such a straightforward manner, that they were dead would be as nervous as Chu He.
āProfessor Chu, donāt worry. I believe you. Leave the city with us,ā Liu Yun said as he patted Chu Heās shoulder.
Although Zhou Wen was suspicious, he couldnāt confirm that Chu He was really a dead person. After some hesitation, he looked at Chu He and said, āProfessor Chu, you can choose whether you want to leave this place.ā
āIāll go with you. Iām really not a dead person,ā Chu He said immediately.The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.
āAlright, letās go then.ā Zhou Wen stared at City Lord Netherworld and moved his feet towards the entrance formed by the Netherworld Divine Throne.
Chu He and Liu Yun followed Zhou Wen as they walked out of the door. At the same time, they were wary of City Lord Netherworld and prepared for battle.
However, City Lord Netherworld only watched from the side without any intention of stopping them.
Outside, in the desert, the sun was high in the sky. Beyond the Netherworld Divine Throne, there was bright sunlight. However, inside the Netherworld Divine Throne, it appeared eerie and dark.
Liu Yun walked in front and stepped out first, standing under the sun in the desert.
Zhou Wen walked at the back, constantly wary of City Lord Netherworld who didnāt move at all. All he did was look at them coldly.
Chu He stood in the shadows, one step away from the desert and the sun.
However, Chu He was somewhat hesitant. Although he was certain he wasnāt dead, City Lord Netherworld had said it with such certainty. Furthermore, Zhou Wen and Liu Yun had said that he had been in Netherworld City for a long time, making him somewhat afraid.
āIām definitely not a dead person... Iām definitely not a dead person...ā Chu He gritted his teeth and extended his palm towards the sun.
Just as his fingertip touched the sunlight, a blue light suddenly appeared. The tip of his finger that had extended out actually disintegrated and disappeared in the blue light.
āAh... How is this happening...ā Chu He screamed as he retracted his palm. His face was filled with disbelief and despair.
Zhou Wenās expression changed slightly as he extended his hand and extended it into the sunlight. There wasnāt any problem. All he felt was that the temperature outside was very high and the sunlight was a little scorching, but it was still acceptable.
āProfessor Chu, try extending your hand again,ā Zhou Wen said to Chu He as he stood in the shadow of the Netherworld Divine Throne, maintaining his hand in the sunlight.
Chu He hurriedly extended his hand, but when his fingertip touched the sunlight, it immediately disintegrated.
āImpossible... I canāt be a dead person... Impossible... I still have to return to see my family... My wife and daughter are waiting for me...ā Chu He slumped to the ground as his voice sounded disconsolate. Tears flowed down his face.Read the latest chapters at novelping dot com.
Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss as to what to do. He couldnāt bear to see Chu Heās present state as he looked at City Lord Netherworld and asked, āIf he doesnāt leave, what will happen in the future?ā
City Lord Netherworld calmly said, āHe will receive punishment day after day, dying day after day. In the future, every day will be his first day. It will also be his last day until his soul reaches absolute purity.ā
Zhou Wen thought of the others on the long street. Those people were in much worse condition than Chu He. From the looks of it, what City Lord Netherworld said was true.
āWhat happens in the future?ā Zhou Wen asked again.
āWho knows? If you are interested, you can stay and give it a try,ā City Lord Netherworld said with a faint smile.
Zhou Wen looked at Chu He, unsure of what to say.
āZhou Wen, can you do me a favor?ā Chu He wiped his tears and asked Zhou Wen.
āTell me. Iāll do it if I can,ā Zhou Wen said.
āHelp me pay my family a visit. If possible, help me take care of my wife and daughter. When they are in trouble, help them as much as you can. I donāt have anything to repay you now. My research on the Niya civilization is all that I have. If you donāt mind, treat it as payment.ā Chu He handed the documents in his backpack to Zhou Wen. Many of them were handwritten notes.
āDonāt worry. Iāll take care of them.ā Zhou Wen took the documents and nodded seriously.
Even without Chu Heās request, Zhou Wen would have made a trip to Chu Heās place. He still needed to figure out the matter regarding Chu He.
āDonāt tell them that Iām here. Theyāve already been saddened once. Donāt let them be sad again,ā Chu He said to Zhou Wen again.
āI know what to do.ā Zhou Wen nodded.
āGo. Donāt look back,ā Chu He said, somewhat disheartened.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the Netherworld Divine Throne.
āIf you have the chance to come again, next time you can try to withstand all the punishments. Then, you will see the real Netherworld City.ā The moment Zhou Wen walked out of the Netherworld Divine Throne, he heard the voice of City Lord Netherworld.
However, he had already walked out. When he looked back, he saw endless yellow sand behind him. There was no sign of the Netherworld Divine Throne or Netherworld City. It was as though everything that had happened was just a dream.
