Chapter 1276: Investigation

The outside was still the same as usual.

Those few streaks of lightning tore through the darkness, each flash lasting only a few seconds. Then, just as quickly, it was back to the long stretches of gloom.

Ye Fusheng first turned his head to look at the graveyard, where there were homes scattered everywhere. He still felt sadness in his heart, but a strange kind of peace also arose. It was as if all emotions had gone through their peak and then numbed afterward.

"This is the bewildering reality."

He thought silently to himself.

Then, looking ahead once more, he saw the road stretched out like a line. There was no sign of guards along the way. According to his calculations, they should have reached the city ahead by now.

If they could contact the city guards, they should have met up by now.

And currently, there is no fluctuation.

First, lay an ambush on the road.

Secondly, they didn't notify the city guards but pursued them personally.

Ye Fusheng pondered for a moment, realizing that the second possibility was more likely. The reason was simple; they had followed them to Changsheng Town with concrete information before. It should have been a joint pursuit of all personnel.

In this situation, it's not captured at all, which is simply disgraceful. There is no reason to contact others and spread the word.

"There's one more reason, Jia Sidao!"

"I told the two guards this name, it was also their last hope. They thought I went to find Jia Sidao, so even if they didn't catch him now, they wouldn't reveal the information and would just wait for him to come back."

Thinking of this, Ye Fusheng no longer hesitated and started heading towards the Judgment Hall. He didn't take the main road, but remained in the Chaos Burial Ground, approaching the Judgment Hall parallel to the road.

At a glance, this is a dense area of dwellings.

But when he walked in, not everyone stayed inside the cave. Many people sat at the entrance, staring blankly upward. Most of them had vacant expressions and seemed oblivious to everything around them. Even as Ye Fusheng walked past, they didn't react.

Only a few people sat together, exchanging words here and there. They were curious about Ye Fusheng's arrival, but unlike Changsheng Town, their curiosity was only expressed through their eyes. No one stepped forward to block his way.

It was from their mouths that we heard this place wasn't called a burial ground, but "Infinite City". The meaning is that it has no end, perhaps signifying that every new arrival adds another cave, making it eternally boundless. Or maybe it means the life lived here has no end.

Either one or both.

And the name "graveyard," as they jokingly called it, came from this: because there was no entrance requirement, anyone could join. It was like a graveyard in the mortal realm, open to all.

Ye Fusheng walked for about an hour, and finally a low wall appeared in front of him. It wasn't really a city wall, more like a fence. There were no guards on the wall, and it wasn't very high, so you could see the buildings inside from outside.

The bigger purpose is not to stop people from entering the boundless city, but to use it as a dividing line.

Ye Fu Sheng seriously observed the wall, which was only about two meters high. He didn't need to leak his breath; even an ordinary person could easily climb over it with a slight run-up.

The Judge's Hall is right in the city, only a half-column incense stick's time away. The problem now is, can we climb over this wall And what's inside

As it's the first time meeting, it's necessary to be cautious.

Having gotten this far, if you get ambushed by being caught trying to bypass the firewall, it'll be like capsizing in a dark ditch.

Just then.

"You... Who are you"

A timid voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Ye Fushen turned his head upon hearing the words, and saw a little girl in a cotton-padded coat with two braids standing before him. She was about four or five years old, alone.

Ye Fusheng felt a pang of pain in his heart. Although being reborn in Fengdu was a different kind of rebirth, the mortal world was where all the beauty and chaos resided. This girl was simply too young.

He smiled and said, "I'm new here, just looking for a place to build a home. Little sister, how come you are all alone here Where are your parents"

As soon as he asked the question, he realized it was wrong. How could there be adults in the underworld

As expected.

The little girl looked downcast and sorrowful. "My parents are gone," she said sadly. "I'm all alone here, and I can't find them."

Ye Fushen's mood sank even lower. He walked over slowly, crouched down and said, "Don't worry, your parents are also looking for you. As long as you wait with your heart, you will see them again one day."

It sounded strange when I said it out loud, but it was true.

The little girl smiled and nodded, "Yeah, my uncles, aunts, grandparents all said so. So I just waited here obediently. I believe my parents will definitely come to find me."

At this age, they still don't know what yin and yang represent.

If she had complete cognition, she wouldn't know if she would look forward to meeting her parents.

Ye Fu Sheng raised his head and touched her head, smiling and asking: "Little sister, how do you live alone, is there anyone taking care of you"

Although doing nothing won't cause fatal harm, it will ultimately lead to weakness.

The little girl defiantly raised her chin: “I don't need to be taken care of, I can take care of myself. Many people like the paper cranes I fold, I can sell them in the city for money, buy delicious food and fun things. I can save a lot of money, when my parents come to find me, I’ll give it all to them.”

She finished speaking, and as if by magic, pulled a paper crane out of her pocket.

It is indeed very cleverly crafted, but it can be exchanged for money, and more often people do so out of pity.

"You are great."

Ye Fushen raised his thumb and paused for a moment, saying, “Big brother asked you, do you know what's beyond the city wall”

She could enter the city, perhaps even having been to the other side of the walls.

The little girl blurted out, "It's a river with fish in it. But the fish there can't be caught, you can feed them. Sometimes I buy some dry food, break it up and feed the fish. The fish can jump out of the water, so high!"

It turns out it was a suicide attempt.

Ye Fusheng laughed again, "That's great, so kind. What's on the other side of the river"

The little girl replied honestly, "It's a road, the ground is smooth stone, very hard. There are stalls set up by uncles and aunts on the road, and then there are houses, many houses."

She smiled shyly: "Some houses are very beautiful, just like the one I lived in before. I want to buy one and give it to my parents, but it would take a lot of money."

A sharp pang of pain struck Ye Fu Sheng's heart once more. The innocence of a child, so cruelly exposed in this environment, was nothing short of ironic.

"I patted her head again: 'As long as you keep working hard, one day you can buy a big house... If my brother climbs over the wall, will he get punished'"

Jumping past is a river, with stone paths and dwellings, proving that the river isn't very wide. You only need to step across it to blend in with the crowd. Then you will truly be in your element. Therefore, it's important to make sure there are no dangers.

The little girl shook her head. "No way, I often sit on the wall feeding fish. Once, I even fell into the river and was rescued by a kind uncle. Big brother, are you going to jump over It's very dangerous!"

Ye Fu Sheng smiled: "Big brother knows light work!"

And I chatted with her some more.

Although I sympathize, there's nothing I can do.

After half an incense stick, I stood up and bid farewell, preparing to climb over the wall.ee search personnel enter the store.Then a voice came from the first floor: "Have you seen this person""This..." The voice of the shop clerk from the other side came.The search party member added, “Th...
