Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Although this still seemed unremarkable from Jiang Lu's perspective, at Lucifer's insistence, he still planned to go and take a look.

If we don't follow Jiang Lu's standards, to be honest, this thing does seem a bit weird.

All the things they had seen in the spiritual realm before, although it cannot be said that they were completely unmoved, were more like the movement of an aquarium.

Although it is dynamic, it is like water plants, moving back and forth over and over again in a small range along a fixed trajectory, just like a crudely made dynamic desktop.

The monster running back and forth in front of us is out of tune with this nominally dynamic but actually static picture. It appears so vivid that it looks no different from a living thing.

But just when Lucifer thought that this might be a living creature in the spiritual realm, after dragging Jiang Lu closer to observe, he discovered something strange.

Although it is running and making large-scale movements, it is like an ant trapped in a bottle, unable to find a way out and can only turn back and forth.

Moreover, the trajectory of its running is not random. Whenever it runs to a fixed point, it will stop, turn around, and continue running in a straight line in another direction. After reaching the next point, it will repeat the process.

While Lucifer was convincing Jiang Lu to come straight over the boat, it had already completed a cycle and passed silently by the overlooking point where the boat was again.

It is like a tireless robot. No one knows how long it has been doing this boring work alone in this unnoticed corner and how many times it has run through the cycles.

"It's coming!" Standing on the path that the monster was about to pass through, Lucifer quickly told Jiang Lu to pay attention as he saw the monster coming towards him: "Look at its eyes!"

"I'm looking." Jiang Lu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. Then, his expression became solemn: "It's double eyelids!"

Lucifer was stunned and became furious: "Which eye are you looking at? Aren't its eyes at the bottom?!"

"what?"

Jiang Lu turned his eyes away from the top end and looked down.

Only then did he realize that what he had just seen was indeed not the other person's eyes, but just a meaningless hole, and that what he had mistaken for double eyelids were just wrinkles.

Its real eyes are hidden on the elastic butt-like part at the bottom, but we all know that's not a butt.

One on each side, two huge but lifeless, withered eyeballs that look confused and desperate, hanging externally. There is no eyelids to protect them, only the thin flesh at the tail of the fragile eyeballs.

Like the eyes of a snail, they just hang on the skin and swing back and forth as the subject runs, making people worry that they will be disconnected at any second.

What is strange is that although it has eyes, it has no mouth, nose or ears. Of course, it is also possible that it is hidden in some place that is not easy to find, because those gully-like folds are stacked layer upon layer, and it is difficult to guess what is hidden inside if you don’t turn it over.

"What a cunning guy, hiding his face here?"

Jiang Lu stared at the two external eyeballs and suddenly had a strange feeling.

He was very sure that the other person was not looking at him, but inexplicably, he felt that the other person saw him.

The subtle changes in Jiang Lu's expression were captured by Lucifer.

"Did you feel it too?" Lucifer asked. Obviously, he had the same feeling, so he let Jiang Lu look into its eyes.

When it got closer, the two discovered that what Lucifer had mistaken for hairy big feet, which could only be partially seen because of the building, were actually not legs, but two arms that were unreasonably strong.

When it raised its palms while running, the two people could clearly see that in the center of each of its palms there was a mass of translucent reddish flesh. Although covered with a little dust, it was still possible to tell that its original color should be pink.

"Paw pads! It has evolved paw pads!" Jiang Lu, who has raised cats for many years, suddenly realized: "No wonder it makes no sound when it runs! It's a Haki!"

"? You don't seem so surprised to see it has arms and eyes." As he spoke, the monster crawled past the two of them quickly. When Lucifer subconsciously retreated, Jiang Lu actually grabbed its hand hair and hung on the monster's body.

Just like reaching out and grabbing the carriage as a high-speed train passed by, Jiang Lu was pulled sideways, achieving a seamless transition from stationary to speeding.

"What are you doing?!" Lucifer was shocked and chased after it, but the monster was too fast and he couldn't catch up even if he used all his strength in the spiritual realm.

"Wait for me here!" Jiang Lu shouted from afar.

Fortunately, the monster's movement followed a fixed trajectory. Not long after, after another cycle, it returned to the starting point.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Lu loosened his grip and landed steadily next to Lucifer.

"So cool." Jiang Lu looked like he had just gotten off a roller coaster, his face flushed with excitement.

"Why did you go up there suddenly?" Lucifer was relieved to see that he was safe and sound. "I couldn't catch up with it at all."

Jiang Lu smiled and explained, "Everything in the spiritual realm is a symbolic manifestation. It cannot be brought into reality, and we can only find its counterpart in reality.

Although it is still uncertain whether this is an ancient artifact, assuming it is, I think the point where it turns back must have some special significance.

I can only see the approximate location from the overlook, so I want to see exactly where it stops up close and then match it one by one in reality."

"It's too risky anyway." Lucifer was still afraid: "We have only been watching from a distance and have never touched anything inside. What if..."

"No, as long as we don't change the history of the Spiritual River, this alone shouldn't be a big problem."

"I hope so." At this point, Lucifer could only sigh: "So you wrote it all down?"

"Well, even if there are deviations from reality, the general characteristics of some reference objects are still there. We can find out when we go back and check them one by one."

"Then let's do it."

They returned to the boat, then left the spirit realm and their consciousness returned to their bodies.

Lucifer flipped out of the boat with great ease and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Lu nodded, folded up the boat, and flipped down from the overlooking point, landing steadily on the ground.

They have passed through many cities. This city is neither remote nor central, and does not have a curfew like Yinjing City. Therefore, although it is late at night, there are still some idle people wandering around on the road.

The two men jumped down from the radio tower and woke up a homeless man under a big tree not far away.

The homeless man screamed "Damn it!" and then fainted.

Jiang Lu scratched his head: "Isn't this the underworld? Strictly speaking, there are ghosts everywhere. I'm so uncomfortable with this. Could it be that some stinky outsider came to the underworld to beg for food?"

"Don't waste time, business is more important." Lucifer urged.

At this moment, Jiang Lu suddenly noticed something. After a slight exclamation, he stared at the road sign next to him in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Lucifer asked curiously.

"I was just looking for the tallest building and forgot to notice where this place is." Jiang Lu said solemnly, "You may not believe it, but this place seems to be my hometown." (End of this chapter)
