My Endless Life.

Chapter 168: The Underworld? The Prison of Sin?
The prison of punishment, the most mysterious place in the inner city.

Not to mention people from the outer city, even residents in the inner city don't know where this place is.

All I know is that this place is very dangerous and scary, and it's a place no one wants to go in.

But as long as this place exists, there will be people, and as long as there are people, there will be daily consumption.

Food, water, clothes, daily necessities... these things are always necessary.

In addition to these, every criminal sent to the prison is also a breakthrough point. As long as these are found, it is relatively easy to find the prison and sneak into it.

Li Qi chose to take a two-pronged approach. He investigated the supply transportation to the prison himself, and on the other hand, he let Ronnie disguise himself as a criminal and be sent to the prison.

It’s not that Richie framed Ronnie, it’s mainly because that’s how Ronnie got in in the original storyline.

And he was the only one there.

Li Qi simply restored the original story line.

And he didn't completely leave Ronnie alone.

The little finger of Li Qi's left hand changed into the shape of a scar and was worn on Ronnie, so that he could communicate with him in real time.

When necessary, Pinky can also use some of Richie's abilities to help Ronnie out of trouble.

It was also at this time that Li Qi discovered that his left hand was so useful.

If possible, he really hopes to solidify the ability of his left hand so that he can use it in every life.

However, Li Qi was just thinking about it. If he wanted to fulfill this wish, he would probably have to wait until he figured out the mystery of the soul.

At the very least, we need to figure out the mystery of the relics.

Until now, Li Qi still doesn't know why the life in this world has become a relic.

Although it is said to be through angels...but are angels really the original relics?
Li Qi expressed doubts about this.

"Hey! Kiri, what are you still hesitating about! Come here quickly!"

While hesitating, Li Qi heard someone calling him.

Looking up, he saw an old man with stubble on his chin waving at him.

Li Qi's face suddenly changed into a pure smile, and he walked over and said:

"Here we go! Uncle Garden, where are we going this time?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! Okay, everyone is here! Let's go!"

The old man named Garden shouted to the entire team after Li Qi caught up with the team.

Li Qi turned his head and looked at the goods behind him, thoughtfully.

This team was the one Li Qi had identified as the one that was transporting supplies to the prison.

Li Qi originally thought that since there were so many people in the prison, there should be a lot of supplies here.

But in reality, the total number of vehicles transporting the team's supplies was only four.

Four cars... It's not that these things are not a lot, but compared to the people in the entire prison, the supplies here are really not much.

Even if we calculate based on the minimum number of people, the total number of prisoners and jailers in the prison does not exceed one hundred, and the supplies here cannot last more than a week.

This transport team travels once a month.

Are there other transport teams in the prison besides this one? Or...are there not that many people in the prison?
When Li Qi thought of this, he suddenly felt a little frightened.

If it is the former, it would be fine. There are other transport teams delivering supplies to the prison, which is understandable.

But if it's the latter...

Where did all the people in the prison go?
You have to know that for so many years, the prison has only allowed people to enter but not leave, and no criminal sent here can be released.

After so many years and so many people, even if one died every year, the number of people inside would probably exceed a thousand.

Nearly a thousand people disappeared without a trace for no apparent reason?

If this is true, then what on earth is the Kingdom doing with the people in the prison? !

……

"Hey, kid, wake up."

Ronnie was slapped on the cheek while he was sleeping.

Ronnie woke up instantly from his dream, sat up with a somersault and looked forward:

"Who?! What happened?!"

Before Ronnie could figure out what was going on, he looked up and saw a guy with disheveled hair, a beard, and a look like a savage standing in front of him.

The savage was very close to him, almost touching his face.

At such a close distance, Ronnie could even smell the sour odor on the other person.

"Boy, are you new here?"

Seeing that Ronnie didn't look confused, the savage stood up and asked Ronnie who was sitting on the ground.

Ronnie blinked and looked around blankly, thinking about what he had done before coming here.

But I just can't remember it anyway.

It was as if there was a layer of hazy fog that obscured his memory, leaving him scratching his head but unable to figure out what he was here for.

I just remember...it seemed like I was looking for something?
Seeing Ronnie frowning and thinking hard, the savage sneered and said:

"Come on, forget it. We can't remember anything except our names in this crappy place. You should get up first. I'll take you to the gathering place first."

"…A gathering place? What gathering place?"

"Follow me and you'll find out. Come on, kid."

The Savage said this and waved to Ronnie.

Ronnie, still confused, got up from the ground and followed the savage with a bewildered look on his face.

He was still thinking about his name and identity, but he still had no clue.

It wasn't until he saw an arc-shaped scar on his left wrist that he felt something was wrong.

Was there a scar on my left hand before?
"What are you still doing?"

Seeing that Ronnie was not catching up, the savage man couldn't help but urge him.

Ronnie didn't even bother to check the scar on his left hand. He quickly followed the savage, looking around and asked:

"Brother, where is this? Where are we going?" Ronnie looked around and realized that this place didn't seem to be in the city.

The surroundings were barren, with sand all underfoot and no green to be seen.

Looking around, the sky was gray with a slight yellow tint, and there was no end in sight in all directions. The earth and the sky were connected, like the light of dusk, forming a circle at the connection point.

Ronnie couldn't remember when there was such a place in the kingdom, but as for the foggy area...there wasn't any fog at all here.

Confused Ronnie asked the Savage.

The savage said without even turning his head:

"This is the underworld."

"?"

“It’s where people go after they die.”

"!? What the hell!?"

Ronnie was shocked after hearing this. He immediately jumped up, pointed at himself in disbelief and asked:

"I'm dead!? How did I die?!"

"Who knows how you died? Okay, stop asking so many questions. Someone will explain it to you when we get there."

After the Savage finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Ronnie.

Ronnie had no choice but to follow the savage.

The light in the sky was dim, and the light that seemed like dusk in the distance lingered for a long time. Ronnie walked here without feeling any pain or fatigue, and he didn't know how long he had been walking.

The savages didn't stop until they saw a black rock.

The black rocks stand on the gray desert, just like a piece of casually discarded plasticine on a flat piece of cloth.

There was a cave entrance at one end of the rock, leading directly underground. The savage said to Ronnie, "We're here," and then continued to move forward, leading Ronnie towards the cave.

After entering the cave and walking down for a distance, Ronnie saw a human figure.

It's also strange. There is clearly no light source inside the cave, but the surroundings look very bright, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see.

The savage took Ronnie to the bottom of the cave, where he came to a large open space, and Ronnie finally saw other people.

In addition to the savage and Ronnie, there were four people in the open space in the cave.

A man sat in a corner, holding a knife and a piece of wood that came from nowhere, carving a wood carving.

A man was lying on the open ground, sleeping soundly with his legs spread out in a completely ungraceful manner.

A man stood beside the wall, carving something on the wall with a chisel in his hand.

There was another person sitting in the first seat in the middle, with his knees bent against the wall and his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

When he saw Ronnie and the savage coming in, the man leaning against the wall opened his eyes instantly.

"came back?"

The man with a crew cut who was leaning against the wall greeted the savage.

The Savage ignored the man and said directly:

"I brought a new guy here. He looks like a shaggy boy. He's not very reliable. I don't know how he got in."

"Is there anyone new?"

As soon as the savage finished speaking, a scream was heard from the ground.

Ronnie looked towards the source of the sound, and the guy who was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and ran towards Ronnie.

Only then did Ronnie see that this was actually a woman...a girl!
She looked about the same age as Ronnie, and was less than 1.6 meters tall, making her look quite petite.

At this moment, she ran to Ronnie with her hair loose like a savage and ragged clothes, looking him up and down:

"Hey, you're still a little handsome boy! Little handsome boy, do you want to play something interesting with your sister?"

"That's enough." The crew-haired young man said, "Ainowei, don't scare me."

"Tsk, boring."

The girl named Ainowei curled her lips and walked away from Ronnie.

Ronnie was indeed frightened by the girl's behavior. He looked at the guys in the field who were not sure whether they were human or ghosts, and asked nervously:
"Excuse me, where exactly is this place? Just now this...this old man said that this is the underworld...the place where people go after they die. Am I already dead?"

As soon as Ronnie finished asking, he heard the girl Ainowei sneer:
"Pfft, big guy, is that what you told him?"

The savage called the big guy sat down in a corner and rolled his eyes and said:
"Why, if you can't die here and can't leave, what's the difference between that and being dead?"

There was a hint of complaint in the big guy's tone.

Ronnie blinked his eyes and roughly understood that the big guy might have been lying to him.

This underworld, this world you go to after death, it’s all fake!
After the big guy finished complaining, the crew-haired young man laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Berg. I told you we'll get out one day..."

"Yes, yes, you say that when a new person comes. So many people have come now, but we still haven't left, right?"

The savage named Berg rolled his eyes.

He was the first person to arrive here, just after the young man with a crew cut.

The young man with a crew cut always said that they would definitely leave, but Berg waited until now, and even the sixth person had come, and they were still trapped here.

leave?

Only a fool would believe it!

Berg ignored the young man with a crew cut. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ronnie, looked at his blond hair for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Your name...is it Ronnie?"

"!?"

Ronnie was startled when his name was called, and he quickly looked up at the young man with a crew cut.

After seeing Ronnie's reaction, the crew-haired young man smiled and said:

"It seems to be correct. Let me introduce myself. My name is Youqi, and I am Diya's brother."

As soon as Youqi introduced himself, Ronnie felt a pain on the scar on his left hand, and then countless memories flooded into his mind, reminding him of what he was doing before he came here.
