Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 283 Chasing Eternity

It was awkward to just stand outside, so the Undead King led them into his tower.

The corpses looked at Jiang Si curiously, wondering why this strange corpse could be greeted by the king himself.

Here you can see other corpses reaching out their hands to a row of golden statues and putting their hands into the mouths of the golden statues. The statues' teeth are gently biting and their eyes are glowing red.

It sucked something from the corpse it bit, and only let go when it had enough. The corpse in front of it moved away and it was the next one's turn.

"Is this the way to hand in spiritual essence? It's so astringent." Zheng Fan, who was still in the form of a ghost, had no idea where his brain was going.

"What is the use of Lingsu?" Jiang Si asked curiously.

The Undead King looked down at Jiang Si after hearing this. However, Jiang Si ignored the threat and looked at it curiously. After a brief silence, it actually answered:
"The body will decay, but the soul can delay this. The spirit is an extension of the soul, and our existence is the path to eternity."

"So you pay spiritual taxes for eternity?" Jiang Si asked.

"As corpses, this is all I can ask for. I give them shelter, and they can't give me much in return."

As it spoke, it came to a door and pressed the button next to it.

After waiting for a while, a bell rang and the door opened. Several corpses walked out in twos and threes. When they saw the Undead King, they greeted him hurriedly. They were not as frightened as the corpses outside and dared not move.

Perhaps because they often work under the Undead King, the clothes of these corpses look very official, with black robes with gold prints.

The Undead King has good aesthetic taste, Jiang Si thought.

The Undead King ignored his subordinates' greetings and walked into the door, turning around and standing still. Seeing this, some people who were about to follow him in stopped in their tracks.

The door slowly closed.

Zheng Fan, Jiang Si and the Immortal King stood side by side, speechless for a moment.

"Wait, is this an elevator?" Zheng Fan suddenly asked.

Jiang Si: "Isn't this obviously an elevator?"

Undead King: “…”

Zheng Fan A Piao had an inexplicable tangle on his face: "Undying, Brother Wang Eldridge, don't you have a cooler way to get upstairs?"

The Undead King said sullenly, "The elevator is very convenient."

Mr. Wang, you are so honest.

There is even elegant classical music playing in the elevator, which adds a touch of sophistication to the atmosphere.

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor, and the door opened, revealing a huge golden hall, spacious diamond-studded stairs, and a majestic golden throne - none of the above existed.

There was no palace, just a rather spacious room with a smooth floor; there were no diamond-studded steps, only a sandalwood desk with a lot of papers and documents piled on it; there was no golden throne, but there was a golden office chair, which was the only thing that looked a bit out of place in this place.

Other than that, it seemed like a fairly unremarkable office.

"Is this your secretary's office?" Zheng Fan tried to save face.

"this is my room."

It's true. Zheng Fan didn't hold back and changed from ghost form back to human form: "As the lord of Doomsday City and a big boss with the title of Undead King, have you ever considered treating yourself to something good?"

"We are just corpses, and spiritual elements are enough to satisfy our appetite. We have low material desires, and apart from our interest in gold, there is nothing else." The Undead King answered as he sat down in his golden office chair.

This office chair is actually quite large, and it is more than enough to pretend to be a throne, because it is obviously made to match Mr. Wang's body shape.

The floor-to-ceiling windows behind him gave him a panoramic view of the Undead City, but the effect was similar to being on the city wall, except that he could see the clear appearance of the city wall in reverse. "Well, let's continue to discuss the transaction in detail." The Undead King continued the topic at the bottom of the tower.

Zheng Fan patted Jiang Si's shoulder and said, "I plan to take her back. You should have heard both methods. Which one do you want?"

The Undead King's scarlet eyes flickered: "Both, passive and active, are in my hands."

"You are quite ambitious. Do you know what kind of place Dadu is?" Zheng Fan smiled.

“I understand. The center of the world, where boundaries overlap, can also be said to be our source.” The Immortal King said in a deep voice.

"It seems you are very confident." Zheng Fan said.

From what I've seen all the way around the Undead City, this free world should not have had any intersection with Dadu. I wonder how this Undead King knew about Dadu.

Since it already knows about Dadu, it still tries to contact it. It has big ambitions and is very confident.

It is really interesting to know whether it is blind self-confidence or confidence.

"If it is so confident, I don't care." Jiang Si said to Zheng Fan.

It would certainly be a good thing if we could quickly gather the conditions to return with the help of this local tyrant.

Originally, we didn't want Dadu to take advantage for nothing, but the Immortal King Mingyan wanted to trick Dadu, so wouldn't that make everyone happy?

"The first method can be used directly, but for the second one, if you can't find anyone in Dadu, you can't establish contact and directly overlap to Dadu." Zheng Fan nodded in response to Jiang Si and reminded him.

The Immortal King said, "One first, two later, that's all."

"Genius, do you really want to take over Dadu? What hatred or grudge is there?" Zheng Fan snapped his fingers in praise and showed some curiosity.

"The free world cannot be eternal, most of them are extremely important." The Undead King replied.

Zheng Fan shrugged: "Okay, we can give it to you. What can you offer in exchange?"

"Any help is appreciated. I can stand firmly on your side." The Undead King said without hesitation.

Zheng Fan tilted his head suspiciously and said, "Although I feel it is useless, I do receive your sincerity. But are you too confident in me?"

Although the Undead King's behavior seems strange and honest, it is worth mentioning that it is quite powerful.

I'm afraid he won't be much inferior to Luo Ye - Lao Luo has unknowingly become the combat power indicator in Zheng Fan's mind.

A character of this strength was a little too easy on Zheng Fan. He seemed very determined before. Knowing that Zheng Fan was very powerful, he still dared to confront him for the city when they first met on the city wall.

It's impossible that the more you think about it, the more you regret it. It shouldn't be so low-level.

In response to Zheng Fan's doubts, the Undead King did not hide his thoughts and said frankly: "The eternal forerunner, whether born or later, deserves my respect. I will catch up with you."

The words were powerful and unwavering.

Zheng Fan was stunned.

It seems to understand Zheng Fan as some kind of existence that has achieved eternity, and is its predecessor, and it has a natural respect for Zheng Fan.

It was strange that Zheng Fan himself didn't know if he was eternal or not. But it certainly didn't look like he would suddenly die one day.

It became like this when I turned around and now it has become the goal of others' efforts. This is really amazing.
