Chapter 404: Underworld Bus
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
According to the flame, although Darkness could devour everything, it was not intelligent. Therefore, it was easy to deceive it.
However, that did not seem to be the case at the moment. Not only had this weird material covered the entire battlefield, but it had also started spreading toward the four-dimensional space.
When Wei Huo and the others noticed it, they were already surrounded by Darkness.
However, the three of them were very calm. Wei Huo said, “This is probably the only way a Mythical creature can enter the Underworld.”
The Snake God asked, “What do you mean?”
Wei Huo replied, “Do you remember what the flame said? The structure of the world is similar to the structure of a computer. What do you think the Underworld, which can accommodate the souls of dead people, has most in common with a computer?”
The Snake God said, “Are you referring to the Recycle Bin?”
Wei Huo said, “Yes, the Recycle Bin. The place where documents go after they are deleted. Why does one delete documents?”
The Snake God said, “To increase storage space.”
Meanwhile, Darkness kept surrounding them. Even though they kept jumping into other layers of space, Darkness seemed to have obtained a stronger power that was enough to break through the four-dimensional space and attack them.
Wei Huo said, “Darkness has become stronger.”
Chen Xuanyue said, “In that case, the previous Darkness was just a careful bug detection program. Is the current Darkness a large anti-virus software?”
Wei Huo replied, “Perhaps using the term ‘forced software uninstallation’ would be more realistic. In short, this is the only way to go to the Underworld.”
The three Gods paused for a moment before they split up and charged into Darkness.
There was nothing to be afraid of. An existence that could become a Mythical creature would definitely not be afraid of death. Exploring the truth was more important to them than living. Studying the secrets of the soul was even more important to them.
“The soul might be ram.”
It was unknown who said that, as the three Gods were devoured by Darkness.
The world suddenly calmed down. Many people looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. As soon as the three Gods had been devoured, Darkness had disappeared.
This time, Darkness seemed to have been aiming at the three Gods. Perhaps a real player had controlled a devil to attack this place. However, when they’d realized that the data there was abnormal, they had used ‘forced software uninstallation’ to attack them.
No matter what was going on, the three Gods had been devoured by Darkness.
Wei Huo was not anxious about being swallowed by Darkness, although he was not sure if he would enter the Underworld.
After being devoured, Wei Huo found himself in a pitch-black space. He could not see anything, hear anything, or feel anything.
However, gradually, light appeared in the darkness. It was a bus stop sign. Wei Huo walked over and saw a stop sign emitting a faint light. There were five people standing in front of the stop sign.
The five of them stood there in confusion, as if they did not understand what had happened. They did not know each other either.
Wei Huo observed the bus stop sign carefully. He was confused.
Why a bus stop sign? Why something from tens of thousands of years ago? Or was the flow of time here different from the flow of time in other worlds?
The bus stop sign emitted a faint light. There was not a single word on it, and no one had pasted any advertisements.
The five people standing in front of the sign were confused. No one spoke.
Wei Huo asked, “What are you waiting for?”
The five of them turned around and looked at Wei Huo. Their eyes were filled with confusion. One of them was wearing a worker’s uniform and a safety cap. He said, “I don’t know.”
One of them was wearing a hospital gown. His face was pale, and he was holding a drip bottle in his right hand. His left hand had been pierced by a needle. There was an oxygen tube in his left nostril, but he did not know where the oxygen bottle had gone.
Wei Huo asked, “Why are you guys here?”
These people replied, “We don’t know.”
One of them was a female student who could be a middle school girl. She was not tall and she had short hair. She was carrying a school bag and wearing a school uniform. She looked confused.
At that moment, a bus drove over from afar. Its lights were on, but they were weak. Besides, the bus did not make a single sound. It was very quiet.
The bus then started slowing down. When it reached the stop, the door slowly opened.
The five of them got into the bus. Wei Huo asked, “Where are you guys going?”
The five of them replied, “We don’t know.”
They walked into the bus with confused looks on their faces. There were no coin boxes or card readers on the bus. It seemed like a free ride.
Wei Huo did not get in. He was still observing. However, at that moment, the driver looked at him. “Why don’t you get in?”
Wei Huo’s eyes focused. His sharp eyes saw through everything, and he was a little surprised when he saw the driver. He said, “I didn’t expect it to be you, Xiao Bin.”
Xiao Bin looked at Wei Huo in confusion. He looked as if he did not know Wei Huo. However, a moment later, he seemed to think of something. He hugged his head and said, “No, I’m just a driver. I’m just a driver. You can call me a driver…”
“Where are we?” Wei Huo asked.
Xiao Bin hugged his head. “I don’t know!”
“Where are you guys going?” Wei Huo asked.
Xiao Bin shouted in pain, “I don’t know!”
“Who are you?” Wei Huo asked.
Xiao Bin stood up and covered his head. “I don’t know!”
At that moment, the door closed and the bus started moving. The driver’s hands left the steering wheel, and he was not even sitting in the driver’s seat. However, the bus still started moving.
Wei Huo took a step forward and appeared on the bus. He then saw the others, who had retreated, staring at him.
“Rule Power…” Wei Huo felt Rule Power. The bus and every seat in it carried Rule Power.
Wei Huo patted Xiao Bin’s shoulder. Xiao Bin, who seemed to have been freed, came to a realization and looked around in fear. In the end, he looked at Wei Huo and said, “Master, it’s you!”
“What’s your name?” Wei Huo asked.
Xiao Bin thought about it and said, “My real name is Wu Bin.”
Wei Huo asked, “Where is this bus heading to?”
Wu Bin thought about it seriously and said, “It’s heading to… the Underworld.”
Wei Huo said, “I remember you saying that you had a dream. It seemed like you went to the Underworld and said your real name. In the end, you were attacked by a group of ghosts.”
Wu Bin was stunned for a moment before he lifted his head. “I think… I had this dream.”
Wei Huo asked, “How long have you been here? What happened?”
Wu Bin thought about it for a long time before saying, “I entered Kunlun Mountain back then, but I don’t know what happened. Kunlun Mountain was swept into the space-time turbulence. Then, I came here. No, I was in class just a moment ago. Why am I here?”
Wu Bin was terrified.
Wei Huo asked, “Where are you studying?”
