Chapter 1276: Reconnaissance

Outside was as usual.

Those few flashes of tearing light existed for only a few seconds, the brightness also just for a few seconds, followed by long stretches of grayness.

Ye Fusheng first turned his head to look at this chaotic graveyard, with homes scattered everywhere. There was still sadness in his heart, but a strange peace emerged instead. It was as if all emotions had reached their peak and afterward became numb.

"This is the bewildering reality."

He thought to himself silently.

Then, he looked back at the long road ahead. There was no sign of guards along the way. Judging by the time, they should have reached the city ahead.

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

And at present, there is no fluctuation.

Firstly, ambush on the road.

"Secondly, they did not inform the city guards but chased after him themselves."

Ye Fusheng pondered for a moment and found the second possibility to be more likely. The reason was simple: before they had pursued them to Changsheng Town, they had concrete information and it should have been a joint pursuit of all personnel.

In this case, failing to catch it is simply disgraceful. There's no reason to contact others and spread the word.

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

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

Thinking this, Ye Fusheng no longer hesitated and began to head towards the Hall of Judgment. He didn't take the main road but stayed within the Burial Ground, paralleling the road and approaching the Hall of Judgment.

Looking around, this place is densely packed with residences.

But when they entered, not everyone was staying inside the cave. Many people sat at the mouth of the cave, staring blankly upwards. Most had vacant expressions on their faces, oblivious to what was happening around them. Even when Ye Fusheng walked past them, they didn't react at all.

Only a few people were sitting together, exchanging words sparsely. 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 stop him.

It was from their mouths that we learned that this place wasn't called a graveyard, but "Wubian City." The meaning is that there is no end. It's unclear if it means that whenever someone new joins, another cave is added, making it eternally boundless and limitless, or if it means that life here never ends.

Either one or both.

While the term "cemetery of souls" was a self-deprecating one, the origin of this name is clear. Anyone could join without any barrier to entry, much like a graveyard in the mortal world, open to all who passed on.

Ye Fu Sheng walked for about an hour, and finally a low city wall appeared in front of him. It wasn't really a city wall, more like a fence. There were no guards on the wall, nor was it very high, so you could see the buildings inside from outside.

The greater purpose is not to stop the people of the Endless City, but to use it as a division.

Ye Fusheng carefully observed the wall, only about two meters high. It wouldn't take much effort to climb over; even an ordinary person could clear it with a slight run-up.

The Judgment Hall is right in the city, just a half incense stick's time away. The problem now is, can we get over this wall What's inside it

Since it's the first time, we have to be careful.

Having come this far, if you get ambushed because of going over the wall, it'd be like capsizing in a gutter.

Just then.

"You... who are you"

A timid voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Ye Fusheng, upon hearing this, turned his head and saw a little girl wearing a cotton-padded jacket and pigtails standing before him. She was about four or five years old and alone.

Ye Fusheng felt a pang in his heart. Though he had been reborn in Fengdu, the mortal realm was still a vibrant world, and this girl was too young.

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

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized they were wrong. How could there be adults in Fengdu

As expected.

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

Ye Fusheng's mood was even lower, he walked over slowly, knelt down and said: "Don't worry, your parents are also looking for you, as long as you wait in your heart, you will see them again one day."

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

The little girl smiled and nodded, saying earnestly, "Well, my uncles, aunts, grandpa, and grandma all said so, so I obediently waited here. I also believe my parents will definitely come to find me."

At this age, he doesn't even know what yin and yang represent.

If she had a complete understanding, it's unknown whether or not she would anticipate meeting her parents.

Ye Fusheng raised his head and touched her head, smiling and asking, "Little sister, how do you live alone Is anyone taking care of you"

Even if doing nothing won't cause fatal harm, it will still lead to weakness.

The little girl proudly raised her chin: “I don't need anyone to take care of me, I can take care of myself. Many people like the paper cranes I fold, and I can sell them in town for money to buy delicious food and fun things. I can save a lot of money, and 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's indeed quite clever, but people exchange it mainly out of pity rather than actual value.

You are amazing.

Ye Fusheng raised his thumb, paused for a moment, and said: "Big brother asks you, do you know what's beyond the city walls"

She could enter the city, perhaps even go beyond its walls.

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

It turns out it was jumping into the river.

Ye Fusheng laughed again and said, “That's great, so caring. What about the other side of the river”

The little girl replied truthfully, "It's a road, the ground is made of smooth stones, very hard. There are vendors on the road, uncles and aunts, then there are houses, many houses."

She smiled shyly: "Some houses are very beautiful, similar to 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."

Ye Fusheng's heart ached again, the innocence of childhood was especially ironic in such an environment.

"I patted her head again. 'As long as you keep working hard, you'll be able to buy a big house someday...' If my brother climbed over the wall, would he get in trouble"

Passing by is a river, with stone paths and residences, proving that the river isn't very wide. All it takes is stepping across to blend in with the crowd. At that time, you'll be like a fish in water. So it's important to check if there are any dangers.

The little girl shook her head. "No, I often sit on the wall to feed the 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 dangerous!"

Ye Fusheng smiled: "Big brother can do light work!"

And I chatted with her some more.

Even though I feel sympathy, there's nothing I can do.

After half an incense stick, I stood up to say goodbye and prepared to climb over the wall.hts among the beasts.He's asking for trouble if he gets any closer!"What were you going to make me do" Ye Fusheng retorted.That's all.With one foot, he stepped into the open space.Nearly at the same t...
