Chapter 18 The King of Hell Passes by, and Everyone Avoids Him

Most of them walked in silence.

They would not greet or talk to each other when they met.

Ji Wu realized that if the old man had not seen that he had no lantern in his hand and was afraid that he could not get out of the white fog, he would probably not call him out.

The lantern bearers, holding lanterns for each other, walked through the white fog.

If you meet someone without a lantern, who can tell whether the person on the other side is a person or a monster in the white fog?

The old man dared to call him, which was an extremely bold and kind act.

Ji Wu wanted to thank the old man, but he could not find his figure.

He could only follow those lantern bearers, walking without knowing the purpose.

The surrounding scene was a bit like the reflection of the water, the shadows were vague and not very clear.

However, some mottled streets, street lights on the roadside, shops on both sides of the road, and tall buildings could still be seen.

This is a city.

A modern city.

But there is no one or vehicle in this city, only these outsiders walking on the road with lanterns.

Strange, why is this city so familiar.

Wait!

Ji Wu looked back in the direction he came from.

That bridge connected the road from Fujing District to Anyang Island.

Could this be Anyang Island?

But Anyang Island is a well-known tourist attraction in Anyang City, with a constant stream of tourists coming and going. It is impossible that there is no one here like now.

What is this place?

Where is Xu Zhou?

Where did he go?

Ji Wu is very worried now. He doesn't know where Xu Zhou is. Can Bai Zuo find this place?

"Ji Supervisor?"

Suddenly, Xu Zhou's voice came from the right.

Ji Wu was startled and looked to the right.

Xu Zhou was holding a lot of food in his hand and waved at him with a smile. A middle-aged woman with a kind smile followed him and looked at Xu Zhou with loving eyes.

"Xu Zhou, I finally found you. Who is she?"

Although Ji Wu asked this, he had actually guessed the identity of this woman in his heart.

Xu Zhou really smiled and introduced him: "Supervisor Ji, this is my mother, mom, this is my boss's supervisor."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou has grown up, has found a job, and can support himself."

From the face, Xu Zhou does look like this woman. She is in her forties and looks much older than her peers because of the hard work of life.

But between her eyebrows, it can be seen that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

She had tears in her eyes, as if she knew how much suffering her son had suffered after she left.

Ji Wu greeted her and looked at her secretly.

Except that her face was a little pale, her behavior was the same as that of a normal person, and she didn't seem to be stained with a weird aura.

What's going on?

Ji Wu felt that this place was very strange. It was very unusual for someone who had been dead for three years to reappear.

"Mom, go to that store and take a look. I'll pay for anything you want to buy."

"Okay."

After sending his mother away, Xu Zhou looked at Ji Wu hesitantly, "Supervisor Ji, do you see anything wrong?"

Ji Wu: "Are you sure she is? And not some weird fake?"

Xu Zhou nodded: "I asked a lot of things that only we know, and she remembered them all."

"That's strange, is there really a ghost after death?"

"If it's true, that's good." One thing Xu Zhou always regretted was that he didn't help his mother, so that she died of overwork.

This time, he thought, maybe he could stay with her all the time.

Ji Wu saw his thoughts at a glance. Xu Zhou was still very young, and all his thoughts were on his face.

"Xu Zhou, whether she is your mother or not, the dead cannot be resurrected, and people and ghosts are different. It's not good for both of you to stay together."

Seeing Xu Zhou's expression change and become very depressed and lost, Ji Wu said again.

"However, you can make her happier during this time, show your filial piety, and tell her more about how you are doing now, so that she can feel at ease."

"I know."

Xu Zhou smiled reluctantly, but he also knew that this was the best way.

Ji Wu patted his shoulder and asked him to think more positively.

Ji Wu could understand that seeing relatives whom he thought he would never see again, anyone would have nostalgia and reluctance.

Even an orphan like him who had never seen his relatives, when he came here, he would have a little hope in his heart.

Will he see relatives he has never seen here?

Ji Wu laughed at himself, maybe they were not dead at all, he was just an abandoned person.

"Xiao Zhou."

"Here I am, Mom!"

Xu Zhou hurried over and picked out the clothes she liked together, and evaluated whether the clothes were suitable to wear, and tried one after another.

This behavior should have made young people impatient, but Xu Zhou wished that this moment could be prolonged.

Ji Wu was watching outside and couldn't help but take out a cigarette from his pocket and sniff it.

Even if this was a strange place and everything was illusory, it was still a happy thing for Xu Zhou to see his mother.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"When the King of Hell passes through, everyone must avoid him."

A group of people wearing black ancient robes, wearing evil ghost masks, and whose faces could not be seen, holding white mourning sticks and soul-guiding banners, walked by in a mighty manner.

Ji Wu stepped aside.

He glanced at the middle of the team inadvertently.

There was a man in a state of dismay walking in the funeral procession. He was dressed differently from the people around him.

He was wearing a woolen coat and warm cotton trousers, a modern look.

He was dragged by the team and followed them involuntarily. There was no rope on him and it seemed that no one was controlling him.

But.

Ji Wu saw his eyes.

His eyes showed a look of extreme fear and terror!

Ji Wu was almost certain that this was probably a passerby who was swept in.

Ji Wu did not disturb Xu Zhou, who was still shopping with his mother. He carefully avoided the strange funeral procession and approached the man.

The man was Hu Xingde who had disappeared before.

Hu Xingde didn't know what was going on. He was walking on the bridge and suddenly saw a familiar figure. When he walked over, he found that it was his deceased wife.

He was trembling, and he couldn't help but approach while being afraid. That was his beloved wife!

As a result, when he approached, his wife stretched out her hand and held him with her cold hand, and he lost his mind.

When he woke up, he found himself walking in the funeral procession and lost control of his body.

He was clearly awake, but he could only watch his body walking uncontrollably with the funeral procession.

Facing the fear of the unknown, he was almost going crazy!

At this time, a warm hand grabbed his arm, "Hey! Can you move?"

Ji Wu pulled him hard, trying to pull him out.

Someone! Someone came to save him!
