The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 506: Gambling (15)

When the shadow of King Yama behind the red ghost announced the punishment, not only did the red ghost's face become ugly, but even the spectators watching above showed disgusting expressions.

"Wow~" Liuliyuan Lily said in disgust: "Is there such a punishment in hell? It feels more painful than death..."

Liuliyuan Hongming's expression did not change. As a monk, he was of course familiar with the scenes described in hell, but he still said: "This punishment is not strange. Hell is a place to torture the guilty souls. Of course, it will be more painful than death, but...

This punishment was deliberately placed six squares away from the starting point of the chessboard. It seems that the creator had anticipated that someone would control the dice to get the maximum number of points, and then encounter this incident... What a bad taste, should I say that he is worthy of being a member of the Ashiya family?"

Although this kind of punishment will not be life-threatening for a skilled person, it is a huge blow to the human spirit and is terrifying in another sense. The psychic who plays this game must have never thought that there would be such a day for him.

You can tell how much pain Chigui is in by looking at his expression at this moment.

The red ghost's chess piece was seen struggling in the yellow quagmire, and the red ghost himself showed a painful expression as if he had eaten shit. In addition to the pain, there was also half despair, half disgust and fear.

The phrase "days pass by like years" is most appropriate here.

About two minutes later, Yama's shadow finally said, "The punishment is over!"

The red demon's chess piece rose out of the yellow quagmire, and the red demon himself was like a fish coming ashore, with his mouth wide open, taking in big gulps of fresh air, accompanied by a burst of desperate retching, which made the onlookers feel pity.

“…Hah!”

The red ghost could only spit out a little water from his stomach. He felt that he would remember what happened for the rest of his life. The most terrifying thing was that those things... were still boiling hot! Although he did not suffer any physical damage due to his monster body, his heart was already broken.

"It seems you have made it through." Ashiya Yoshisuke had a strange smile on his face and murmured, "It's my turn now. I hope I can get a good number..."

The red demon couldn't say a word at this time. He could only stare at Ashiya Yoshisuke opposite him and gritted his teeth.

Yoshisuke Ashiya threw the dice, but only got a dot. It seemed that he really didn't know how to throw the dice.

"The hell of waiting and suffering - the place where you will be cooked in a jar!" The shadow of Yama behind him said, "The place where you will be boiled and stewed!"

On the Sugoroku board, a clay pot filled with boiling red liquid like magma slowly appeared from under Ashiya Yoshisuke's chess piece and put the chess piece into it. Then, a fierce flame began to burn under the clay pot, making the magma in the pot boil even more violently.

A burning aura also appeared around Ashiya Yoshisuke's body. Even the Red Oni could feel this horrifying heat. The onlookers could even see that the air around him was distorted by this heat.

Looking at Ashiya Jisuke's expressionless face with his eyes closed, Akagi muttered, "Is this guy cheating?"

He stretched out his hand, wanting to see if the heat coming from Ashiya Jisuke was real. As soon as he got close, he felt a fierce burning sensation. The cuff of his outstretched hand actually caught fire. "Hiss! It's so hot!" The red ghost quickly extinguished the flames and looked at Ashiya Jisuke in disbelief: "Is this guy... really a human?"

Soon, the temperature of Ashiya Jisuke slowly dropped. After Yan Mo announced that the punishment was over, he opened his eyes, looked at the red ghost, and smiled: "It's your turn."

The red ghost picked up the dice with a serious expression and threw it again. After learning from his previous lesson, he didn't dare to throw the biggest 6 points again. God knows what other disgusting punishment is waiting for him, so he threw a four points lightly.

The red ghost's chess piece slowly moved forward four squares. The red ghost concentrated and calmed down, preparing to face the difficult punishment. However, unexpectedly, what came out of the mouth of King Yama was not punishment, but... judgment.

"Re-judge the crime." The shadow of Yama said, "Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. This king can see through everything. Those who do good will not be wronged, and those who do evil will not be let off! Come to the court!"

With a flash of light before his eyes, the red ghost found himself in another place. This was a large hall where the King of Hell sat behind a high platform, with the judge, ghost messenger and other strange figures standing beside him. He himself was kneeling on the ground in shackles, waiting for judgment.

"Wait!" asked the red ghost, "What is this?"

As if he had heard his words, Ashiya Yoshisuke in front of the chessboard slowly said: "Since this is Sugoroku, there are naturally some special events on the board. If you pass this test, you can skip the penalty and go to a safe grid, but if you fail..."

The red demon could not hear what Ashiya Yoshisuke said at this time, because King Yama had begun to read out his sins. At the same time, the scenes of those sins began to appear in his mind. The number of sins was so large that even he himself forgot whether he had committed them or not.

"... He has committed so many evil deeds, but he has no intention of repenting. Instead, he is complacent. His crime is even greater!" King Yama said: "Such a heinous person should be thrown into the Great Screaming Hell - a place of torment, and be punished by being cut into pieces!"

"Hey! I don't admit it!" The red ghost roared, "What are you talking about, you bastard! You are not the real Yama King! What qualifications do you have to convict me?"

His feeling was right. The Yama in front of him turned a deaf ear to his words, like a machine. He just threw a token and he was already in the mountain of knives, constantly resisting the sharp blades attacking from all directions. He didn't even have a place to step, because there were sharp knives under his feet.

After a long period of torture, the red ghost finally escaped from the illusion. The first thing he did was to keep touching his body to see if there was any part that had been cut off. After finding that he was unharmed, the red ghost breathed a sigh of relief.

It felt like it was real, making him feel miserable and terrified.

"It seems that you have not passed the test." Ashiya Jisuke said, "So you have experienced the hell ahead of time~ Don't worry, we still have a long way to go. You know, the further you go into hell, the more cruel and painful the punishment will be. I hope you can hold on to the end."

The red demon looked at the Sugoroku board with fear. Just as Ashiya Yoshisuke said, they had only just started their journey and he was already on the verge of collapse. If it was really as Ashiya Yoshisuke said, the more time passed, the more painful it would become... He really didn't know if he could hold on.

"Brother, are you still not well?" The red ghost stared at the chessboard in front of him, trembling all over, thinking: "Come and save me!"
