Chapter 97 The Great Development of Hell

The urgent ringing of the telephone has always been a classic element of horror movies. Imagine, in the early hours of the morning, you are home alone, having just finished watching a horror movie in bed, and you are about to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.

Just as you got up, your phone, which was on the bed, suddenly rang urgently, and you remember it clearly.

You clearly turned on Do Not Disturb mode a long time ago.

The phone was still ringing.

Ring ring~

Ring ring~

The phone vibrated against Corday's chest. She fumbled around for a while before finally managing to pull it out of her pocket, only to find it was an incoming call from outside the network.

What is this? A call from hell?

No, they're already in hell; strictly speaking, this is hellish electricity.

"? This number is ————"

A look of excitement and relief flashed across Corday's face. Without hesitation, she answered the phone. Soon, a loud voice with an accent rang out from the other end of the line.

"Cordyce? Cordyce? What are you doing? Why does your location suddenly show as hell on my end?"

"Did you, like your senior sister, fall for someone and elope to hell?"

"Let that kid next to you who ran off with you talk to me!"

Ye Wen: "Huh? Me?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was stunned: "No, there really is a man there?"

"You really eloped?!"

"Ugh!" Corday glared at Ye Wen resentfully, stamping her foot. "Father, at a time like this, don't make things any more complicated!"

Yes, the person on the other end of the phone was the priest that Corday had mentioned many times.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment when I was about to go to hell, he called me in time.

Corday quickly told the priest everything that had happened to her.

The priest remained silent after hearing this.

"Blasphemy angels, hellish punishment, true ancestors, werewolves — wow, Corday, you've certainly had a colorful few days."

The priest made a joke, then said solemnly, "Without a doubt, you have encountered an unprecedented and momentous change, which concerns the foundation and purity of the Kingdom of Heaven."

"I will immediately report this to the Pope for serious action, and several veteran Witchers will come to your aid."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Corday's face lit up with joy. "What about us? How do we get back to the human world from hell?"

The priest said, "If you don't go to hell, who will?"

Corday: "Huh?"

"Cordyce, you're completely useless. You're doing a mission in Dongxia, yet you haven't learned any of Dongxia's spirit of sacrifice and dedication."

"Don't you know that old saying from Dongxia?"

"I'm so disappointed in you, I'm going to take all your allowance next month!"

Corday hesitated for a long time, her face turning red, before finally managing to squeeze out, "Father, is it possible that the saying 'If I don't go to hell, who will—' is true?"

"Hey! You said it yourself! I knew Corday wouldn't let me down. You're so young, yet you have such a strong sense of awareness. Father, I'm very pleased."

"Then, you can explore Hell for a while. Don't worry, you're not at a high depth, you can definitely survive. I'll contact you if anything happens. That's all."

"By the way, the cost of cross-border calls will be deducted from your allowance."

The next second, with the beeping sound, Corday put the phone down from her ear and stared blankly at Ye Wen.

"The priest has passed away."

Ye Wen looked at Corday expressionlessly: "I can tell without you saying it."

A few seconds later, he couldn't help but ask, "So all the people in your heavenly kingdom are this unreliable?"

Corday: "————"

For the first time, she was utterly unable to refute Ye Wen's words. The priest's performance left her with no room for rebuttal. Rather, she felt ashamed that she knew the priest.

It must be a demon, a wicked demon possessing the priest to deceive her!

When I get back, I'm going to give the priest a good beating and make that demon leave his body.

Corday successfully convinced herself.

"It seems your priest's plan is to use us as bait in Hell, so that the mastermind behind it will reveal their next move."

Ye Wen shrugged: "It's a reasonable approach, but perhaps a little too reasonable."

Corday gritted her teeth: "As a Witcher, it's only natural to have this kind of awareness; I wouldn't normally complain."

"But things are different now. Ye Wen, you're not a demon hunter, so there's no reason for you to get involved. At the very least, we need to get you out of here first."

"What on earth is that bastard priest thinking, sleeping in every morning and waking up at night, never shaving his beard or washing his feet?!"

"And they actually made me pay for the cross-border call?! I, I—Aaaaaaah, I'm so angry!!!"

Looking at the sulking Corday, Ye Wen remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked with some curiosity, "What does 'cross-border communication' mean?"

He looked astonished: "Being able to make calls in hell is one thing, but there's a charge? Who collects the fees? How do I pay?"

This hell seems a little different from what he imagined.

"What? Ye Wen, you actually make that kind of face now?"

Corday, hands on her hips and chest puffed out, said smugly, "If you properly beg me now, I'll—hey!!—not turn around and leave! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?!"

She hurriedly caught up with him: "First, we need to understand a very basic concept."

"Heaven and hell are not simply a matter of one dying for the other to live."

"The soul ascends to heaven, while the soul solidifies and sinks to hell. Heaven and hell are simply two different destinations for the soul."

"They do not hinder the continuation of the other side."

"If I had to put it that way, well, they're just two different clubs that sometimes have disagreements because of business issues."

Ye Wen looked at him with awe: "Who taught you about these clubhouse things?"

"Oh, it's the priest. What's wrong? Isn't the clubhouse a place where tired people get together to wash their feet after get off work?"

Corday tilted her head, looking bewildered and confused.

"It's alright, you can continue playing—no, continue talking."

Corday's words were quite informative. Although Heaven and Hell are enemies, they are not mortal enemies, which means that there is a lot of room for maneuver between the two sides.

for example----

"Hell is no longer the desolate, miserable place we imagine it to be."

Corday pulled out a map from somewhere: "In recent years, Hell has launched a massive engineering project, learning a great deal of knowledge and experience from the human realm, establishing base stations, developing entertainment facilities, and creating social classes—"

"Nowadays, you can think of hell as another civilization. The 23 levels of hell are like 23 countries. We are currently on the 5th level, which is considered a shallow area."

Ye Wen smirked and looked around: "Then why is there nothing around us?"

"Because we're in the no-man's-land of hell," Corday said earnestly. "Even in the human realm, there are places like this, right? Desolate, backward, undeveloped, and devoid of people, as if abandoned by the world."

The No Man's Land of Hell?

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Ye Wen nodded: "I now have a full understanding of the existence of Hell."

"So what do we need to do now?"

Having just arrived and being unfamiliar with the place, Ye Wen could only rely on Corday.

"Hmph, don't worry, as a demon hunter, I will make sure you survive in hell."

"I just connected to Hellnet and downloaded a map. If I follow this direction for a few dozen kilometers, I should be able to reach Hell City."

"Let's go there and settle in first."

"Oh, right!" Seeing Ye Wen's expression, Corday reminded him, "The flow of time in Hell and the human realm is different. We spend about three days in Hell, while only one day has passed in the human realm."

"That's why Hell Call, which allows real-time communication, is so expensive—damn it, that bastard priest didn't reimburse it—"

Corday looked pained.

And so, the two walked like ascetics through the desolate, hellish wilderness, while in a distant corner, unnoticed by anyone, a wanted poster was buried by the sandstorm.
