Chapter 27 Don't Look Back When You Behead Your Head

"what?"

Duguhan's voice instantly sank.

"The demon!" I hurriedly said, "It's what the old people call ghost! That thing is standing behind the emperor! I...I want to smash it! In fact, the demon has long been..."

Speaking of this, I swallowed the following words abruptly.

No, you can't let Duguhan know how special he is.

He knew that I compromised with him only to get rid of evil spirits, and I will have a worse life in the future.

"Continue talking!" Duguhan turned around and looked at me for the first time.

"I... can see that kind of thing since I was a child!"

This sentence, I am lying.

In fact, it was only after I entered the Zhanwang Palace that I could see the spirit body.

This time Duguhan didn't speak, but gave me a meaningful look.

Then he closed the cell door and turned to leave.

……

The dungeon was damp and cold, and it smelled of corruption and blood everywhere.

In the distance, screams could be heard from time to time.

Presumably, someone was being tortured.

No one handcuffed me, and no one interrogated me.

It seems that what the emperor said was true, it was just a formality.

Maybe it won't be long before I can be released.

Although there were no windows in the cell, it was estimated that it would be dark.

Will that thing follow?

Thinking of this, I trembled all over.

While trembling, the door opened with a 'click'.

A hunchbacked old man dressed as a jailer walked in tremblingly holding a bowl.

"time to eat!"

The old man yelled without a sound, and threw the bowl on the ground with a bang.

A steamed bun rolled in front of me.

"Thank you, old man!"

I picked up the steamed bun and blurted out.

But such a sentence made the old man stop.

He turned around slowly at an extremely slow speed.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me, then simply sat on the ground.

The old man took out a pipe from his pocket.

In the dark, he lit up the cigarette.

"Girl, what did you do?" The old man coughed and asked with his head tilted.

"Hurts!"

After saying this in a low voice, I looked at the steamed bun in my hand.

The shape of this steamed bun is like an ingot.

On the top, there is a faint red mark with a round square hole.

The sunken part has green hair.

I picked off the green hair and stuffed it straight into my mouth because I was really hungry.

"Those who can be locked up in this heavenly prison are guilty of the great crime of exterminating the nine races. You, a little girl, were sent in just for hurting someone. I don't believe it, old man!"

As he said that, the old man smoked his pipe.

"I hurt the current emperor!"

Swallowing the dry steamed buns, I said with a little embarrassment.

"Then rest in peace!" The old man stood up tremblingly leaning on the wall, "Remember to run forward as hard as you can after beheading, and don't look back no matter who is calling you behind."

The old man's words gave me a chill.

"After beheading...can you still run?"

"The spirit body is separated from the physical body, so it will not feel pain."

Hearing what the old man said, I was immediately excited.

"Old man, wait!"

I rushed over and blocked the old door.

"You also know spirit bodies?"

"Not only do I know, I've seen it with my own eyes!" The old man grinned, showing his yellow teeth. "What kind of spirit body, isn't it just a fool! It's called a charm at a good sound, and a ghost at a bad sound! Little girl, there are ghosts everywhere in the dungeon!"

The hoarse and gloomy tone of the old man made my heart shrink suddenly, and my fingers seemed to be drained of blood, and they were so cold that they throbbed.
