The soul was light and fluttering, with nowhere to go.

Su Jinyu opened his eyes and looked at the milky white world in front of him, and thought bitterly: Is this the legendary underworld?


Before he had time to wonder why there was not a single ghost in the underworld, nor did he see the black and white impermanence of the legend, Su Jinyu saw a road appear under his feet.


The clean bluestone road stretched all the way to the distance and finally disappeared into the depths of the thick fog.


Su Jinyu tried to move his body, and in the next second, his light and translucent body landed firmly on the ground.


He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the soul body could still touch the real thing, but it was only for a moment. He raised his head and glanced at the bluestone road with no end in sight. After two seconds of silence, he lifted his foot and walked forward without any hesitation.


Maybe those myths and stories were wrong, the underworld does not have hell nor heaven.


But whether it's true or not, Su Jinyu doesn't care anymore, he only has one thought to walk this path.


There was a voice in his heart that kept urging him: go on. As long as he walks down, he can see who he wants to see.


Su Jinyu quickened his pace little by little and finally ran straight away. Everything around him seemed to be still, there was no sound, and the road under his feet seemed to have no end. Even though he was already dead, Su Jinyu could still feel the exhaustion emanating from the depths of his soul.


A pair of legs were so heavy that they could not be lifted up, but even so, Su Jinyu still did not stop. He gritted his teeth tightly, his jawline was stretched like a string on a curved bow, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped violently. His eyes stared at a certain point in the void for a moment, and he kept telling himself in his heart: It's still a little bit, Su Jinyu, it's just a little bit...


When he finally stepped on the empty place and fell infinitely, Su Jinyu watched the light in front of him rapidly shrink into a spot of light and then into a dot, and finally gave up the last struggle.


"Noooo!!!"


The sound of music was deafening, and in the room where, as if the demons were dancing, a voice full of panic and despair suddenly sounded, with a suffocating sadness in it.


Everyone in the box was frightened by this sound and looked at the corner, where their protagonist was sitting.


In the quiet room, only the sound of musical accompaniment and the lanterns swinging back and forth were left.
