This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 134 The Underworld Tunnel

The future life starts with hygiene.

Lu Ye's originally idle day was filled with Boss Bai's housework.

A new house, even if it is fully furnished, still has a lot of cleaning to do.

Moreover, Bering's life is still very exquisite, with large and small packages and several boxes of daily necessities and clothes waiting to be packed away.

So she was organizing her things while Lu Ye cleaned.

The bathroom must be thoroughly cleaned, and the kitchen has not been used for a long time. The living room must be decorated by yourself to make it feel like home. The bedroom must be soft, comfortable, and fragrant. This is the place that best gives people a sense of happiness.

Land reclamation and cleaning is a big project, so Lu Ye said to find a cleaning company.

Bering said no, he wanted to experience with his own hands what it felt like to create a warm home.

It's just that this "personal hand" is Lu Ye's hand.

Lu Ye sighed silently. Fortunately, he lived alone all year round and was good at housework.

What's more, this time, there is an extra little guy to help.

Bai Gelin is very diligent and hard-working. She has been helping Lu Ye by changing dirty water, throwing mops, wiping tables, and organizing things. It can be seen that she has done a lot of work.

This made Lu Ye a little curious.

"You couldn't be...were you a maid in your previous life?"

Ge Lin shook his head and replied respectfully: "... Homeless orphans cannot be servants. Families that hire servants have status. Recruiting servants also requires guarantees and recommendations. No one will guarantee orphans."

Did Lu Zhiye say something so specific? It seems that although the world of magic has a lot of magical magic and abilities, it also has an ordinary side.

This was the first time he heard about Ge Lin's past, so Lu Ye asked along the way: "Then what did you do before? I mean before you believed in the God of Death."

Ge Lin seemed to think about it seriously before answering: "When I was very young, I only remember the war, hiding, wandering, and hunger... In the end, I was helping in the church cemetery, taking care of the injured and refugees, and guiding them Each one greets the souls of death and takes care of them until, in the end, we are all thrown into Death’s arms.”

Lu Ye listened quietly and sighed secretly. It seemed that he was also a child born into hardship.

Seeing that Ge Lin was struggling to move the water basin, Lu Ye wanted to go up and help, but Ge Lin was a little flustered and avoided it: "No need, Father! I can do it!"

The little guy stumbled and poured water to replace it before wiping the sweat from his forehead and getting back to work.

Looking at the seriousness on this child's face, he looks like a child from a poor family who has already become the head of the family.

Lu Ye also heard her calling him "Father", he frowned and asked sideways in a different way:

"Have you ever worked in a church before?"

Ge Lin nodded: "The cemetery originally belonged to the church, and our homeless children were later taken in by the priest..."

Having said this, he suddenly realized that he had called him by the wrong name, and quickly turned around and bowed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I called you by the wrong name..."

Lu Ye smiled and shook his head: "No, you don't have to be reserved. You can call me whatever you want."

He suddenly felt that the name "Father" was quite good, and he felt that he was suddenly crazy. Moreover, he was also a "father" and not so sensitive.

Compared to Bai Sili, who was too thoughtful, Ge Lin, a somewhat naive and timid girl, felt less dangerous, and he was willing to get closer to her.

As long as she doesn't think about dying to prove her ambition all day long and clamoring to return to the kingdom of the dead.

However, since Ge Lin expressed her willingness to accept "God's punishment" last time, she has never mentioned going back again. It can be felt that she is a devout believer in the God of Death, and she regards living in this world as penance.

Lu Ye was also willing to understand the magical world from Ge Lin's perspective, so he followed the topic and asked:
"You work in the church, but why have you become a believer in Death?"

Ge Lin was very respectful and looked at Lu Ye when he spoke: "Because life was too difficult at that time...evils were invading, the human kingdom was in civil war, and there were many natural disasters. There were more and more injured and refugees, and there was not enough food. , and then the epidemic broke out, and many people died within a few weeks. Those waiting to be buried in the cemetery were unable to leave, and they had to endure constant intrusions from demons and wild beasts. In the end, the priest was unable to support him. Before he died, he joined the Kingdom of the Dead and took the initiative to accept the blessing of the God of Death..."

Lu Ye didn't quite understand what God was talking about: "Shouldn't this priest believe in the light? Can he quit the God of Light and join the Death camp just like he was looking for a job?"

Ge Lin clasped his hands together and said softly: "The priest did it for us orphans. He chose to abandon his faith and accept the suffering of souls, in exchange for the guidance of our souls for the last children..."

"So this priest takes you to believe in the God of Death?"

Golin: "Yes."

Lu Ye frowned a little: "Belief in the God of Death, does it mean that... everyone has to die first?"

Ge Lin: "Of course there will be no living people in the country of the dead."

A desolate scene after the war emerged in Lu Ye's mind. Towns, fields, and former churches were eventually submerged in deathly silence, and there were no more survivors.Next to the dilapidated church, in the cemetery with a forest of steles, there are only some lingering street children, waiting for the final arrival of death.

His heart was filled with this silent suffering, and his tone became lower: "Are all these wars caused by the Great Demon King Walder?"

Ge Lin shook his head: "No. When I was still alive, the kingdom and the church were very powerful. It was not until the end of the Black and White Era that the magicians fought on their own, and the kingdom was in civil strife, and war and suffering spread across the entire continent. …It took at least a few hundred years between the rise of the Demon King.”

Lu Ye was startled when he heard this. He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the timeline!

Anjie's earliest statement was that the magic world came to the world. After the chaos and darkness of time, the human magic alliance and shelter gradually formed, and Anjie was born accordingly. She grew up to be 18 years old and came back through the time tunnel...

This means that the time they traveled through is two to thirty years after the current time. Even if there is a period of chaos that cannot be accurately measured, it is still possible to think about a few more years before and after, and it should not be as long as a few hundred years.

If we go back a few hundred years from now, on the blue planet, it is the stage of the Industrial Revolution and the World War. How could there be magicians and civil strife in the kingdom?
But what Ge Lin said does not seem to be a lie, so there is only one possibility:
That is, before the advent of the magic world, the world that Ge Lin lived in was completely different from the world that Anjie lived in.

Lu Ye looked at Ge Lin and asked seriously: "So, you are not from this world at all? You originally lived... in the magical world?"

Ge Lin nodded: "The magic world is just a collective name given to us by humans. It is composed of several independent worlds. Some worlds are inhabited by a single population and ruled by a single god, such as the Kingdom of the Dead; some The worlds are also inhabited by mixed people, and there are exchanges and disputes between them. Some worlds are connected, and some are closed to each other."

At this moment, Lu Ye suddenly figured out many things in his mind!

He has been searching for the secrets of the magical world, but there has been no useful information.

But after talking to Ge Lin this time, he finally understood that the magical world and the human world are basically two worlds, but they were merged into one or connected in the previous timeline!

The arrival of the magical world is not the penetration and alienation of magical power that changes the original appearance of the world as previously imagined, but the encounter of two worlds!
After the two worlds met, a fierce collision broke out between magic civilization and technological civilization, and then entered a new magic era.

Demon King Walder gradually grew into a local warlord in this merged world and began to cause crazy troubles.

Very rewarding!
Thinking of this, Lu Ye's question became:
How are these two worlds connected?
Finding the answer to this question is tantamount to finding the truth about the process of the advent of the magical world!

It is possible to find a way to prevent the magic world from coming!
Lu Ye quickly asked: "Then do you know how you came from your world, the kingdom of the dead, to this world?"

"In order to spread the belief in the God of Death and open up the territory of the dead, we followed the guidance and call of the gods, walked through the corridors of the underworld, and came to this world."

"The Underworld Tunnel? What is that? What does it look like?"

"A road that allows souls, consciousness, life, and energy to travel back and forth between the two worlds... is a passage, or a door."

door?
As long as the door can be opened, it can be closed!

Lu Ye felt that he was about to touch the key to the problem. He took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, and showed Ge Lin a map of the world: "Do you still remember where this door is?"

Gelin pursed his lips and thought carefully, and fiddled with the map with his little hands to find:

"I remember... along the long coast, entering the end of Shiyin, following the winding river, all the way to the west, deep in the mountains, there is a... city..."

As her fingers moved, Lu Ye's heart began to rise little by little, until the scene finally stopped.

Ge Lin: "About this location, although there are some changes in the mountains and rivers, it should be roughly right."

Lu Ye swallowed his saliva while looking at the map, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This dragon-snake-like waterway runs through the mountainous city...

Isn’t this the city where I live?

Your home...is at the entrance to the Underworld Tunnel?Is it the gate between the two worlds? !
Lu Ye didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and asked again: "Can you locate a more specific location? Are there any characteristic mountains, rivers, buildings or streets?"

Ge Lin shook his head:

"When I came, this place had already been devastated by war and was already in ruins."

Lu Ye was speechless and choked.

Seeing that he seemed to be very concerned about this matter, Ge Lin thought about it carefully and added:

"But...there is something special about where it is."

Lu Ye was shocked: "What is it?"

"He is deep in the earth, very deep."

　Fat Tiger groaned: "I also want a monthly ticket that allows many young ladies to play with me..."
