Chapter 293 Unfair!

　　The body of the stray dog ​​that visited late at night decomposed into numerous slender black and white hairs. These hairs spread and twisted on the wall, covering the entire rental house into a weird black and white jungle.

 The air smelled of dampness and rust.

　　Where the pirate dog had been crouching, a tall silhouette was projected on the wall.

It has a huge, trident-shaped head—if that can be called a head. The tridental head almost touches the ceiling, and under its neck is a twisting mass that is constantly expanding and contracting.

Lu Yao used Isabel’s eyeballs to activate the [Curse of True Sight].

 …

 At one o'clock in the middle of the night, a duel suddenly started in the rental house and ended at the speed of light.

"unfair!"

The pirate dog lay on the ground exhausted, with the blood knight's great sword and the tyrant's bone sword crossed against his neck. Isabel's holy sword was still suspended on his forehead.

　　It tried to raise its head: "The duel is one-on-one! Three of you fight one! It's not fair!"

Lu Yao held the ribs and took a bite of the soft, glutinous and spicy meat.

“Now is a society governed by the rule of law, and dueling is no longer popular.”

The pirate dog looked unwilling.

Lu Yao was startled at the beginning because a strange dog appeared out of nowhere.

Through the spell of true sight, he discovered that this pirate dog was not weak. It could still have this data panel despite being [weak]. Unfortunately, it encountered the three apostles.

 It is normal to be defeated and captured.

Although he really wanted to know the origin of this dog, it was more important to have a midnight snack at the moment. If the hot pork ribs are allowed to cool down, the flavor and taste will be much different.

 Lu Yao continued to eat steak with a Coke.

Isabel interrogated the captive: "Where did you get your dog from?"

 “I’m not a dog!”

Harrow frowned: "Don't insult me! I'm not a primitive creature like a dog!"

 It is a bit unconvincing for a Dalmatian dog to say this.

Isabel frowned: "Are you a wolf?"

 “It’s not a wolf either!”

Harrow bared his teeth in anger: "I am Harrow the Sleepless. I come from the noble underworld and am one of the Cerberus who guards the gate of the underworld!"

 Underworld?

Lu Yao wiped his mouth with a tissue: "The underworld you are talking about, is it the underworld where the dead go, or the underworld where ghosts are tortured?"

"The underworld does not torture ghosts. Even though you are the one who set sail, you cannot slander us!"

Although Harrow's neck was stuck with a sword, he still tried hard to protect his hometown.

Lu Yao was thinking while eating ribs.

 In the legends and myths recorded by humans, people from different regions have different definitions and understandings of the underworld.

Now it seems that the underworld may really exist.

 “Tell me about the underworld.” Lu Yao said.

“Wishful thinking, even if you beat me to death, I will not betray you to the underworld!”

Although Harrow was reduced to a prisoner, he had a peculiar arrogance and perseverance.

Lu Yao put the bowl in front of it, with a piece of steak left in it.

 “What do you mean?”

Harrow said angrily: "I am not a dog! You are sending me to beg for food!"

 “No, this is a little midnight snack for the visiting guests.”

Lu Yao took off his disposable gloves and clapped his hands: "We've finished the competition and the trouble, okay. Let our guests go."

The three of Isabel put away their weapons, but they did not move. They still stared at the outsider from the underworld, ready to subdue it at any time.

Harrow hesitated for a moment. He licked his nose with his tongue and looked at the fat and thin braised pork ribs in the bowl in front of him. He tried hard to move his eyes away, but he couldn't help but glance into the bowl.

“Since you are so polite, thank you for the hospitality...”

It mumbled something, buried its head in the bowl, and gnawed at the bones hungrily.

 Soon, Harrow licked a large piece of ribs until only the white and dry bones were left.

 After eating Lu Yao's meal, the pirate dog became much more polite and courteous: "I'm so grateful for your hospitality when I visit late at night."

“Before, I just wanted to get closer to further screen the memory of Cancong. There was absolutely no malice in it—it must have great trust in you when it stores its memories with you. Please forgive me for my recklessness.”

 “It’s okay, let’s make friends.”

Lu Yao followed suit and said, "Hello, I'm curious, what is the underworld like?"

“In various human records and oral accounts, some people say that the underworld is a place where the dead are imprisoned, some say it is a prison for punishing ghosts, and some say it is a place where the dead and the living change reincarnations.”

Harrow squatted on the ground in an upright posture and said: "Lord Hades is forbidden to reveal the real-time situation of the underworld to the outside world."

“However, you are the noble sailor, so I will give you some general introduction that does not violate the oracle.”

“The underworld, like here, is a nearly solidified high-dimensional area, and is a collective name for a large collection of worlds. The **** of the underworld is the ruler and defender of the underworld.”

"Unlike this world, the underworld is related to many worlds according to a special rule. The lower dimension world continues to move, and the dead will be transformed into ghosts and then introduced into the Sea of ​​Sinking, which is the River Styx in the underworld. On the other hand, The high realm is at rest and cannot naturally produce ghosts."

 “This is a one-way anchor.”

 The word “anchor” brought back Lu Yao’s memories.

Golden Fields has the ability to [anchor the world], but the prerequisite is that it must first overlap at the world level.

Harrow continued: "One-way anchoring allows the dead to pass through worlds and enter the underworld along the transmission and continuity of the power of the world's rules..."

 The ghosts are led to the underworld, their final destination, by the power of the rules of the world. They are like a group of meteorites flying in the universe, traveling through the vast and boundless dimensional space.

Unlike meteorites, ghosts are pulled, transmitted and gathered from world to world, just like a long-distance train bound for a distant place, stopping temporarily at each station, and then continuing on the road with new passengers.

 After a long journey to death, he will finally arrive at the gathering place of the dead, the Sea of ​​Perdition in the Underworld.

Lu Yao was curious when he heard this: "During the long journey, will the ghost be intercepted or stranded?"

"some."

Harrow couldn't help but lick the bottom of the bowl: "There is freedom of life and death. They don't want to go to the land of the dead, and they don't force it. Anyway, this is just a tradition formed by rules."

 An idea came into Lu Yao's mind.

　　If you put it this way... wouldn't it be possible to place some gods of death in other simulator worlds and have them intercept some of the undead and send them to Saniro, the city of the dead?

 Another source of population!

 Lu Yao asked Harrow directly about this idea.

It’s dog’s eyes widened: “This…”

 “Can’t you?”

 Lu Yao was a little disappointed.

 As a high-dimensional world with a long history, the underworld can be unidirectionally anchored at many levels of world rules, and its strength is undoubted.

Provoking the underworld for the ghost population is not worth the gain.

“It’s not impossible, the underworld doesn’t matter.”

Harrow scratched his head with his claws: "The dragon clan does the same thing. Most of the dead of the dragon clan will not enter the underworld, but will stay in the dragon tomb."

“There will be a series of difficulties in intercepting the passing ghosts of the outside world, which is much more difficult than it seems. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive and difficult to achieve results. I think it is best for you to give up this plan.”

 “I understand, thank you for reminding me.”

Lu Yao asked Haruo: "Eat some more?"

 “Okay, okay!”

 Harrow licked his nose.

 The small fire brought out two more ribs, and placed the dinner plate respectfully in front of Haro.

“Hello, why did you leave your hometown and come here?”

Lu Yao’s words made the pirate dog’s eyes look melancholy, as if the ribs in the bowl were no longer fragrant.

 “I’m here for a duel, a duel to the death that was arranged many years ago.”

 “But when I came here, I couldn’t find it.”
