Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 648 Luo Fu is the real monster!
Mulan has been a ghost messenger for who knows how long.

Over time, even those who knew her back then have long since forgotten her through countless cycles of life and death.

Only someone like Zhao Li, who is also a ferryman of souls, could know her.

But Luo Fu, a guy who should have been drained of his life force by the female demon, is now alive and kicking, and he even knows him. This is obviously suspicious.

Before Luo Fu could explain, Hua Mulan approached him directly, her crossbow poised to fire at any moment. She said, "Don't move. Whatever you are, come with me now. Since you know me, you must know why I'm here."

"Where are you taking me?" Luo Fu's heart tightened. He had just returned from the shared space, and the power of the shared space had only restored his vitality.

If Mulan were to target them at this point, or even go further and attract the attention of the underworld or the heavenly realm, then they would be in serious trouble.

"Enough with the nonsense." Mulan didn't bother to communicate with Luo Fu at all. While keeping her crossbow aimed at Luo Fu, she suddenly swung her other hand, and a thin lock flew out, binding Luo Fu instantly.

Although it was Mulan who tied up Luofu, Mulan, as the instigator, frowned.

"You really are a strange thing. You should be dead, but you're full of life."

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Luo Fu said, "I think it must be a misjudgment by your underworld."

Hua Mulan rolled her eyes at Luo Fu, put away her crossbow, and casually flipped through her fingers to take out her phone.

"Hey! Brother Li, I've run into a bit of trouble and need your help?"

"Something... I don't know what it is, but anyway, it's something that deserves to die but hasn't. Come here!"

After a brief exchange, Mulan said, "Behave yourself and come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mulan grabbed Luofu and left the rented room.

Although Luo Fu was bound with a thin lock by Hua Mulan, strangely enough, when a ghost and a living person walked out of the rented room, no one noticed.

They had only been on the street for a short while when a jeep stopped in front of Luo Fu and Hua Mulan.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face wearing sunglasses.

"Mulan, is this what you're talking about?"

Recognizing Zhao Li, Luo Fu remained silent. He knew very well that his best option now was to delay as much as possible and wait for the localization of the shared power.

Without strength, the more you struggle, the worse it will get.

Don't be fooled by Xia Dongqing's experiences. You should know that Xia Dongqing is the protagonist, and he carries the soul of the ancient primordial man Chi You.

Putting aside Xia Dongqing and others, if you think about it carefully, especially considering Luo Fu's previous experiences, it's not hard to conclude that this world is exceptionally unfriendly to ordinary people.

If Luo Fu hadn't entered the shared space in time, he probably would have been drained of his life force by the demoness Xiaoqian and died from exhaustion.

In Xia Dongqing's experience, countless people were manipulated and toyed with at will by those inhuman beings.

The Fifth Prince, Taotie, the son of the Dragon King, has been enjoying eating people for thousands of years, not even sparing their souls. Even more depraved, he even made people willingly eat him.

The senior in red, because of her love-struck mind, killed countless people. Zhao Li, as a soul ferryman, a ghost messenger, and a symbol of the order of the underworld, was aware of the senior in red's existence, but he never intervened at all.

To some extent, in the eyes of the gods in the heavens and the underworld, humans are nothing more than crops that can be harvested.

A minor injustice is insignificant.

If you strip away everything on the surface, you'll find that beneath this seemingly bustling modern metropolis lies a naked law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak.

Power is the essence and foundation of everything.

In response to Zhao Li's question, Hua Mulan nodded and said, "Brother Li, it's him. According to the Book of Life and Death, he should have been drained of his life force by a female demon and died, but as you can see now, he is still full of energy."

After a slight pause, Mulan continued, "Especially this guy, he actually knows me."

Zhao Li, who had initially looked somewhat frivolous, suddenly became serious.

Mulan's identity meant that those who knew her would definitely not be ordinary people.

"Kid, tell us now, maybe you'll suffer less when you get to the underworld," Zhao Li asked.

"What do you want me to say?" Luo Fu seemed to be completely unfazed.

"Tell me what you are? How did you recognize Mulan at a glance?"

In front of Xia Dongqing, Zhao Li acted silly and cute, but you should know that he was a ghost messenger who had been working for who knows how long.

Considering the image of ghost messengers in myths and ghost stories, it's not hard to tell that Zhao Li's antics and cuteness are only directed at Xia Dongqing.

Luo Fu knew very well that he couldn't possibly fool a ghost messenger like Zhao Li in his current state.

Rather than lying and being perceived as having ulterior motives, it's better to remain silent for now.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Li will take him directly to the underworld.

Since Mulan sought help from Zhao Li, the passage to the underworld should most likely pass through convenience store number 444.

Xia Dongqing is different from Luo Fu. After graduating, Luo Fu chose to find a job directly, while Xia Dongqing chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. While working hard for the postgraduate entrance examination, Xia Dongqing worked as a sales clerk in the No. 444 convenience store.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to meet Xia Dongqing.

When the time comes, as long as I reveal that I know Xia Dongqing, there is a high chance that I can muddy the waters. At the very least, I can complete the plan to delay Luofu and avoid being taken directly to the underworld.

Although entering the underworld will not affect the localization of shared power, Luo Fu still has a certain degree of autonomy in the human world. If he enters the underworld, his special status will be subject to unknown treatment.

"Silent? Very well! We've met a tough one. You don't actually think we underworld ghosts will reason with you, do you?"

As he spoke, Zhao Li opened the back door of the car and said, "Mulan, get him in the car and take him to the underworld first."

Mulan obediently pushed Luo Fu into the back seat of the jeep.

Several tens of minutes later, just as Luo Fu had predicted, the car arrived at the door of convenience store number 444.

Through the glass doors of the convenience store, Luo Fu could even see Xia Dongqing seemingly busy behind the counter.

With the help of Zhao Li and Hua Mulan, Luo Fu was dragged into the convenience store.

Upon entering, Xia Dongqing was immediately startled.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Dongqing? You are Xia Dongqing?" Luo Fu feigned surprise and looked at Xia Dongqing.

Xia Dongqing was immediately taken aback.

He looked at Luo Fu in surprise.

After scrutinizing Luo Fu for a moment, he asked in confusion, "You are..."

“We’re classmates.” Luo Fu knew, of course, that Xia Dongqing didn’t recognize him. After all, he didn’t really have any impression of Xia Dongqing; at most, he only knew that Xia Dongqing existed in university. This was largely thanks to Xia Dongqing’s ability to see ghosts; university students were always very interested in these supernatural things.

Xia Dongqing's unique circumstances also made him quite well-known at the university.

"What? Dongqing, you know him?" Zhao Li asked casually.

Beneath that seemingly casual expression, Zhao Li's heart was actually pounding.

Xia Dongqing's situation was extraordinary; in fact, more than 80% of what he experienced was preordained.

Including the various wandering ghosts and spirits encountered, perhaps only those like the Fifth Prince have a chance of being truly fortunate.

But it's more likely that the Fifth Prince was also sent down by the Heavenly Realm.

Although the Fifth Young Master is a dragon prince, even an old dragon king like a true dragon has no say in Xia Dongqing, who is under the joint attention of the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld.

As for the claim that the Fifth Young Master wanted to eat Xia Dongqing's eyes, that's utter nonsense. Even the Old Dragon King, a true dragon, wouldn't dare to do that.

The fact that Luo Fu, this guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and who was neither here nor there, actually knew Xia Dongqing made Zhao Li quite cautious.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Dongqing said, "I don't know either."

Looking at Luo Fu, Xia Dongqing asked seriously, "You said we were classmates, when did we become classmates?"

“University,” Luo Fu said eagerly, “Although we’re not in the same department, I know you. Everyone says you can see ghosts, right?”

Zhao Li gave Luo Fu a meaningful look.

"So you're saying you have no connection with Xia Dongqing? Then what are you talking about? Be honest and come with me to the underworld."

Regardless of Luo Fu's true identity or why he knows Xia Dongqing, Zhao Li has now decided to send this troublesome Luo Fu to the underworld. Any problems can be handled by Hades Acha.

"Wait, wait." Luo Fu fully displayed his acting skills, saying, "Dong Qing, we're classmates, even if we're not in the same department. I'm alive now, and these damned guys actually want to send me to hell. Are you just going to watch?"

Xia Dongqing looked troubled.

At present, he and Zhao Li do not have such a deep relationship.

Luo Fu's moral blackmail would likely be laughed off by others, but it worked on Xia Dongqing.

As the vessel for Chi You's soul, the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld required Xia Dongqing to be a highly virtuous and kind person. Without sufficient kindness, how could he bear Chi You's soul?

Xia Dongqing, who originally didn't want to get involved, struggled for a moment after hearing Luo Fu say that he was a living person but was going to be taken to the underworld. In the end, he still chose to stand up without hesitation.

"Let him go." Xia Dongqing mustered his courage and stood in front of Luo Fu, saying, "Zhao Li, you are a ferryman of souls, a ghost messenger, but he is a living person now. Although I have no memory of him, I cannot stand by and watch you treat human life so lightly!"

His expression suddenly darkened, and Zhao Li's tone was full of threat.

"Holly, let me remind you, think carefully before you speak. Do you know what you're doing right now?"

“I know,” Xia Dongqing said, mustering his courage. “In any case, he is a living person, and I can’t just stand by and watch you abuse your power and disregard human life.”

Almost laughing in anger, Zhao Li gave Luo Fu a deep look and said, "Kid, you've got guts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Li took out an iPhone 10. Of course, it was completely different from the iPhone 10 in Luo Fu's memory. The technology in the underworld was obviously much faster than that in the human world, and even the mobile phones were more technologically advanced.

He dialed the number directly and said respectfully, "My lord, Acha, your subordinate Zhao Li has something to report."

A lazy voice came from the phone.

"Zhao Li, it's been a long time since you contacted me. Tell me, what's up?"

"Reporting to my lord Acha, a being has appeared in the mortal realm who has come back to life and recognizes Xia Dongqing."

"Wait?" Hades Acha's tone instantly turned serious. "Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

After Zhao Li reported the situation at Luofu.

Not to mention Acha, even Xia Dongqing was stunned.

He looked at Luo Fu in surprise.

Compared to his own eyes that could see ghosts, in Xia Dongqing's mind, Luo Fu was the real monster.

A person whose life force had been drained by a monster and who should have died not only survived but was resurrected, full of energy and vitality, and lively and energetic.

This experience was far more thrilling than for someone who could simply see ghosts.

At this point, Xia Dongqing no longer dared to treat Luo Fu as an ordinary person.

"You...you really had your life force drained by a monster? And then you came back to life?"

Luo Fu smiled wryly and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know anything?"

Just as Luo Fu and Xia Dongqing were exchanging ideas.

Hades Acha's voice came through Zhao Li's phone.

"Zhao Li, keep an eye on this guy. I'm going to the mortal realm right now."

"My Lord Acha, you...you are coming to the mortal realm in person?"

"Enough with the nonsense, just wait!"

The departure of Hades Acha from the Underworld to the human world is no small matter.

As the ruler of the underworld, Hades Acha's every move may not be noticed by the celestial realm, but her trip to the mortal world to meet Xia Dongqing will inevitably elicit a reaction from the celestial realm.

Indeed, in the great war when the original human leader Chi You rebelled against the Heavenly Realm, the original human people suffered heavy losses, almost to the point of being wiped out, but the Heavenly Realm was also nearly crushed.

As Chi You's sister, Hades Acha, who knows what kind of thoughts she harbors when she comes into contact with Xia Dongqing?
The celestial realm certainly wouldn't dare to gamble.

However, as a ghost messenger, Zhao Li had no right to point fingers at the King of the Underworld.

Before Zhao Li could even offer any advice, Hades Acha hung up the phone.

With a gloomy expression, Zhao Li glanced at Luo Fu and said, "Kid, you're in for a good show this time."

After a slight pause, Zhao Li looked at Xia Dongqing and said, "And you, you'd better watch out too."

"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Dongqing was extremely aggrieved at this moment.

He simply didn't want to see a living person abused by Zhao Li and treated as a human being. He had no idea that Luo Fu actually had the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Unfortunately, no explanation is meaningful now.
