Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 777 The Evil Name

After Wu Xian praised Ling Ji with his thumbs up, he spread his hands.

Lingji pulled Wu Xian up, put his arm on her shoulders, and asked softly, "Which way are you going?"

"That should be the exit."

Wu Xian raised his finger and pointed, and the two of them supported each other and walked down the audience seats, heading towards the direction that was most likely the exit of the death match, without even taking a short break.

It’s not that they don’t want to rest, but if they continue to stay in the audience, they may be selected by other evil spirits to participate in the death match.

Given their current state, if they were to participate in another competition, they would probably be in great danger.

As for whether leaving directly like this would lead to any bad consequences, they did not have the energy to consider that.

Fortunately, the evil spirits in the audience just watched them leave with a look of regret, and no one stood up to stop them.

Just like that, the two of them slowly left this cruel arena.

After the two left, Xiao Gui, the host, announced the next game.

The event of the competition is "chair grabbing". Two people come out from the audience and three hungry ghosts come out. There are four chairs in total. The evil spirits who cannot grab a chair will be eliminated.

After this game, the vacant seats in the audience caused by the departure of Wu Xian and Ling Ji will be filled again.

Without human participation, the evil spirits in the audience became much calmer. They no longer paid attention to the details of the competition and only looked forward to what they would eat next.

But the evil spirits will not feel bored because of this.

Eating and being eaten is the eternal theme of the starving ghost nest and the eternal theme of the universe.

It was so in the past, and it will be so in the future...

"what……"

Wu Xian and Ling Ji supported each other and walked for a long time.

They passed through the dark and narrow corridor, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up. The chaotic, cruel, blurry and dreamy scenery of the deep dream once again unfolded like a picture scroll.

At the junction of the womb and the deep dream field, there is a tattered recliner. As long as they fall asleep on the recliner, they should be able to return to their original world.

"Just throw me on the chair, thank you."

Wu Xian lay on the chair, gasping for breath.

The two of them said they were supporting each other, but in fact it was Lingji who was doing the hard work on the road. Wu Xian's body was already tattered, and his legs and feet felt like they were filled with lead, making it difficult for him to take even a single step.

Apart from the several times he faked his death in the Jinmu Building, this was the first time Wu Xian was injured like this.

"I hope that when we return to the shallow dream, our wounds will heal automatically. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do next."

Ling Ji lay on Wu Xian. In order to avoid suspicion, Wu Xian looked towards the center of the deep dream. There was a huge human figure composed of countless long mist dragons, as if hugging something.

“I have a feeling we’ll be back here.”

"That thing may be the key to our departure from this blessed land..."

"Ah."

Lingji hummed, their eyelids began to droop, and they soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Wu Xian was awakened by a scream.

"It's incredible. I haven't seen anyone come back alive from the deep dream for a long time."

After waking up, Wu Xian's first reaction was...

pain! It broke our hearts!

The injuries he suffered in the deep dream were actually brought to the shallow dream exactly as they were!
The second reaction was speechlessness. So in the eyes of the Pig-headed Man, it was almost impossible to bring food out of a dream?
"We have brought you the food you requested. You should also give us the pass to the fourth floor as agreed."

Wu Xian said something unhappily to the pig-headed man. When he wanted to stand up and hand over the food, he found that he could hardly move, so he had to ask Ling Ji for help.

But he didn't expect that Lingji was still sleeping soundly, her face was flattened, and her saliva was flowing out for a long time...

"what!"

Ling Ji suddenly woke up, and when she found that the pig-headed man and Wu Xian were looking at her, she jumped up at an extremely fast speed and returned to her previous posture.

The pig-headed man took the food, turned around, opened the lid of the pot where the pig's head was stewed, scooped out two bowls of soup and handed them to Wu Xian and Ling Ji.

"It's been a while since anyone has come back alive. Consider this a special gift from me. After drinking this soup, your injuries will be healed."

Lingji picked up the soup bowl with a conflicted expression.

The soup is yellowish in color, with oil floating on the top. The whole soup exudes a strong peppery flavor and the aroma of fat being stewed and melted.

She hesitated for two seconds, walked to the pot and took another look to confirm that there was a pig's head cooking inside before she drank the bowl of soup in one gulp.

After drinking the soup, Lingji's injuries healed in just a few seconds. Except for the blood stains still on her body, her condition was even better than before she fell asleep.

Then she lifted Wu Xian's head and fed him the soup, saving Wu Xian from weakness and pain.

After regaining his mobility, Wu Xian sat up from the recliner.

But his recovery was not as good as Ling Ji's, and he still had difficulty moving. However, Wu Xian did not worry too much about it. It might be that he was injured too badly and the pig head soup was not effective enough, or it might be that he was numb from Ling Ji lying on him. After such an injury, it was already quite good that he could recover to this extent.

And there was good news. After drinking the pig head soup, the energy and blood consumed by using the magic power - crab bubble was replenished, and the number of times he could use the crab bubble increased to three times again.

After the pig-headed man got the food the two brought back, he handed each of them a pass.

"Those with a pass can open the staircase door on the fourth floor."

"You can go from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, or from the fourth floor to the third floor. As long as one person in the group has a pass, you can go through without any obstruction."

"Also, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait a little longer. I have a gift for you."

The pass was only the size of a poker card, and Wu Xian stuffed the pass into the poker box.

He and Lingji looked at each other and decided to wait in the kitchen for a while to see what reward this pig-headed man would give them.

The pig-headed man collected the ingredients the two brought back, and took out seven meatballs and seven chicken feet to cook.

During the cooking process, Wu Xian asked the pig-headed man with some curiosity.

"Among the evil spirits I have seen, only a few are not obviously aggressive towards humans."

"I also turned into an evil spirit for a short time. At that time, my mind was full of negative thoughts. When I saw my companions, I just wanted to kill them."

"But you are different. The two of us have been in the kitchen for a long time, but you have not shown any hostility towards us. You even took the initiative to give us benefits."

"Can you tell us why?"

The pig-headed man paused for a moment while cooking: "Do you know what the difference is between those evil spirits and me?"

Wu Xian was stunned: "I don't know."

"Those evil spirits have no names."

"They have names. I have seen many evil spirits with names. Some of them use their names when they were alive, while others have impressive nicknames, such as the Ghost Mother Looking for Her Child, Ghost Face, and so on..."

"Those are not names, they are just code names and nicknames. I am talking about the recognized and bestowed names. I told you about them when we first met."

"My name is Zhu Qipei, you can call me Lao Zhu!"
