"No … I'm not dead … I'm still alive …" Chu He cried out in horror as he touched his body as though he was trying to confirm if he was really dead.
Liu Yun was abnormally bold. He reached out and tugged Chu He's face. He said in disbelief, "He's clearly a normal living person. How can he be dead?"
Zhou Wen couldn't tell how Chu He looked like a dead person. His body was normal. His heartbeat was normal, and his body temperature was normal. Apart from his slow thinking, he couldn't tell how he looked like a dead person.
However, if Chu He wasn't dead, it was hard to explain why he had entered Netherworld City so long ago but said that he had only entered Netherworld City today.
"Aren't you afraid that his soul will dissipate and disappear from the world forever? Take him out of the city," City Lord Netherworld said as he made way.
"Can we really leave?" Liu Yun looked at City Lord Netherworld in disbelief.
He had been in society for years, so he naturally knew that human words couldn't be trusted. Furthermore, the person who said that was a dimensional creature and the owner of Netherworld City. This was true nonsense.
"As long as he isn't afraid of his soul dissipating, feel free to leave Netherworld City," City Lord Netherworld said indifferently.
"Professor Chu, what do you think? Do you want to leave with us?" Liu Yun asked Chu He.
"I want to go out. I'm not a dead person," Chu He hurriedly said.
Zhou Wen looked at City Lord Netherworld and asked, "We both entered Netherworld City. Why aren't we dead, but Professor Chu He is?"
However, City Lord Netherworld seemed to be very patient. He glanced at Zhou Wen and answered, "When you entered the city, didn't the Gates of Hell make it very clear that no one can violate the three ironclad rules of Netherworld City? Since he didn't walk out alive the day he entered the city, he's naturally dead."
"I'm not dead … I'm really not dead … Don't believe him … Take me away …" Chu He's eyes were bloodshot and his mental state was very unstable.
This couldn't be blamed on Chu He. Anyone who suddenly heard someone say that they were already a dead person, and that it was said in such a logical manner, would almost believe it. They would be as nervous as Chu He.
"Professor Chu, don't be anxious. I believe you. Follow us out of the city," Liu Yun said as he patted Chu He on the shoulder.
Although Zhou Wen had his suspicions, he couldn't confirm that Chu He was really a dead person. After some hesitation, he looked at Chu He and said, "Professor Chu, it's your choice to leave this place."
"I'll go with you. I'm really not a dead person," Chu He said immediately.
"Alright, let's go." Zhou Wen stared at City Lord Netherworld as he moved towards the door formed by the Netherworld Divine Throne.
Chu He and Liu Yun followed beside Zhou Wen as they walked out the door. At the same time, they carefully guarded against City Lord Netherworld, prepared to fight at any moment.
However, City Lord Netherworld only stood by the side and watched. He had no intention of stopping them.
Outside the desert, the sun was high in the sky. Outside the Yellow Springs Divine Throne was bright and beautiful, but inside the Yellow Springs Divine Throne, it was dark and gloomy.
Liu Yun walked at the very front. He was the first to step out and stand under the desert sun.
Zhou Wen walked at the back, constantly wary of City Lord Netherworld. However, City Lord Netherworld didn't move at all. All he did was look at them coldly.
Chu He stood in the shadows, only one step away from the desert and the sun.
However, Chu He was somewhat hesitant. Although he felt that he was definitely not a dead person, City Lord Netherworld had said it with certainty. Furthermore, Zhou Wen and Liu Yun had said that he had been in Netherworld City for a long time. This made him somewhat afraid.
I'm definitely not a dead person … I'm definitely not a dead person … Chu He gritted his teeth and extended his palm towards the sun.
Just as his fingertip came into contact with the sunlight, a blue light suddenly appeared. The fingertip that he extended disintegrated and disappeared in the blue light.
Ah … How can this be … Chu He screamed as he retracted his palm, his face filled with disbelief and despair.
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly. He extended his hand and extended it into the sunlight. There was no problem. He only felt that the temperature outside was very high and the sunlight was a little hot. It was still within an acceptable range.
"Professor Chu, can you stretch out your hand again?" Zhou Wen stood in the shadow of the Netherworld Divine Throne, maintaining his hand in the sunlight as he spoke to Chu He.
Chu He hurriedly extended his hand again, but when his fingertips touched the sunlight, they immediately disintegrated.
"Impossible … I can't be a dead person … Impossible … I still have to return to see my family … My wife and daughter are waiting for me …" Chu He slumped to the ground. His voice was sorrowful as tears streamed down his face.
Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss for what to do. He couldn't bear to see Chu He's current state as he looked at City Lord Netherworld and asked, "If he doesn't leave, what will happen in the future?"
City Lord Netherworld said calmly, "He receives punishment day after day and dies day after day. Every day in the future is his first and last day until his soul reaches absolute purity."
Zhou Wen thought of the others on the long street. Those people's situation was much worse than Chu He's. From the looks of it, what City Lord Netherworld said was true.
"And after that?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Who knows? If you are interested, you can stay and give it a try, "City Lord Netherworld said to Zhou Wen with a faint smile.
Zhou Wen looked at Chu He, unsure of what to say.
"Zhou Wen, can you do me a favor?" Chu He wiped away his tears and said to Zhou Wen.
"Speak. As long as it's within my capabilities," Zhou Wen said.
"Help me return home to take a look. If possible, help me take care of my wife and daughter. When they are in trouble, help them as much as you can. I don't have anything on me to repay you now. I only have some research on the Niya civilization. This is all I have. If you don't mind, treat it as my reward for you. "Chu He handed the information in his backpack to Zhou Wen. Many of them were handwritten notes.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of them." Zhou Wen took the information and nodded seriously.
Even if Chu He hadn't said anything, Zhou Wen would have made a trip to Chu He's house. He still wanted to figure out the real Chu He.
"Don't tell them that I'm here. They have already been sad once, so don't let them be sad a second time," Chu He said to Zhou Wen.
"I know what to do." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Go. Don't look back," Chu He said disheartenedly.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the Netherworld Divine Throne.
The moment Zhou Wen walked out of the Netherworld Divine Throne, he suddenly heard City Lord Netherworld's voice. "If you have the chance to come again, you can try enduring all the punishments. Then, you will see the real Netherworld City."
However, he had already walked out. When he turned back, there was 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.
