Chapter 85: The Old Man in the Dark
After Taoist Priest Yang stepped forward, he started to ask, "This official? If I remember correctly, Lord Zhao, you should not be considered an official of the underworld, right?"
Taoist Priest Yang's words instantly brought everyone back to their senses.
"Yes, Director Zhao Cheng, what kind of official are you in the underworld now? What qualifications do you have to let people arrest me?"
The Yincha who was originally preparing to attack me suddenly stood there, confused. Now he didn't know whether he should attack me or not, and just looked at me in confusion.
Director Zhao Cheng looked embarrassed.
"Chen Yang, I want to see how long you can remain so arrogant."
After Zhao Chengju finished speaking, he turned to the City God and said, "Sir, now the witness has arrived, and he is Fang Nianci's closest relative. Sir, this is enough to prove my innocence, right?"
The current situation is indeed very unfavorable for me.
I didn't expect these people to suddenly come forward to testify. Director Zhao Cheng is really despicable and shameless.
The City God's eyes fell on me, and with a faint smile on his face, he said, "Chen Yang, at this point, do you have anything else to say?"
I held my breath and said, "Sir, we can't just rely on their one-sided words for this matter. We should call Fang Nianci over ."
"Chen Yang, are you crazy? Fang Nianci is alive and well in the human world, and you asked us in the underworld to summon Fang Nianci. Do you want to violate the Book of Life and Death and kill innocent people?"
Director Zhao Cheng directly seized on this point and scolded me.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense at this moment, and the current situation was very unfavorable for me.
Director Zhao Cheng now looks completely superior, and it seems like he has me in his hands.
"Lord City God, at this point, Chen Yang has nothing more to say. Please clear my name as soon as possible and arrest the villain who slandered me."
Director Zhao Cheng pointed at me and spoke in a righteous manner.
The City God picked up the gavel and suddenly slammed it down, ordering: "Come here, arrest Chen Yang."
This time, when the City God gave the order, the ghost messengers, who were already impatient, came forward one after another and attacked me directly, detaining me.
When I was caught, Taoist Yang didn't say a word, which made me feel even more uneasy. I thought to myself, could it be that Taoist Yang was trying to trick me?
Sure enough, after this group of people caught me, Taoist Yang just stood there watching the show.
"Someone, take him away."
I was escorted by a group of underworld officials straight to the dungeon.
My role and Director Zhao Cheng's role were switched in an instant. I was locked up in the dungeon, while Director Zhao Cheng was outside.
I sat in a dark corner, thinking about what had happened. No matter how I thought about it, I felt that Taoist Yang was trying to trick me.
I originally thought that Taoist Yang had some good method, so I went to the underworld with confidence. However, after arriving here, I found that this was not the case at all.
Now, I have become a prisoner in the underworld.
I looked into the dungeon of the underworld. It was extremely dark and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I could only vaguely hear the noises nearby.
And at this moment, I heard snoring sounds in my ears.
I thought that there were still many people imprisoned in the dungeon of the underworld.
I didn’t know much about the underworld at first, and I didn’t know what kind of things were there.
I sat in a dim place, my mind racing, thinking about many things.
But at this moment, I heard a "ah" sound coming from next door. When the sound came to the ground, I saw a person turned over and fell to the ground.
I suddenly became a little confused.
"Are you okay?" I asked subconsciously.
The person on the other end didn't answer me. That brief sound of pain came and went quickly.
I was stunned for a few seconds.
After waiting for a while, a voice suddenly sounded: "Is anyone here?"
"Someone."
This voice gives people a feeling of being very old just by listening to it.
"It's been a while since anyone has been locked up here, young man. What have you done to get locked up here?"
"I didn't do anything wrong. I was wrongly accused."
I said unhappily.
"Everyone who comes here says they were wronged. There is no one who doesn't say they were wronged. I was also wronged, and I have been imprisoned here for hundreds of years."
I:"……"
When I heard this, I was immediately shocked.
It's pitch black here, and I can't see clearly what kind of person is imprisoned in the dungeon next door.
Just by listening to this voice, one can roughly judge his age, at least in his seventies or eighties.
As for whether he is hundreds of years old or has been imprisoned for hundreds of years, it is really hard for me to judge.
"I was really wronged."
I continued speaking.
"Hahaha……"
After I finished speaking, the old man opposite me suddenly laughed without any warning.
To me, this smile sounded like a mockery of me.
My thoughts paused for a few seconds, I was speechless, but I didn't know what to say.
In fact, I was locked up here, which was something I didn't expect. But when I think about it, it's nothing. Why should Taoist Yang help me?
What is my relationship with him?
To be honest, he really helped me a lot.
"why are you laughing?"
I heard the old man next door laughing all the time, and it never stopped.
I couldn't help but be speechless.
"Laugh at you for being so naive. If nothing unexpected happens, you won't be able to get out after coming here."
His voice echoed in my ears, sounding a bit harsh, and at the same time made me feel a little worried.
Director Zhao Cheng is a despicable and shameless villain. I don’t think he would just lock me up. I think he would also use other means to kill me.
But to some extent , being locked up here and unable to go out is a huge torment.
My mind was working quickly, thinking about these things, after some thought.
I couldn't think of any good solution. Now I could only see if I still had a chance to get out. The City God just had me detained here and had no intention of taking any further action against me.
No word on what to do with me.
But this result is even worse, right?
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
I simply stopped thinking about it and asked, "Who are you? Why are you imprisoned here?
I suddenly became curious about the old man's identity.
The old man smiled and said, "If I tell you my identity, you will never believe it."
His voice seemed to carry a hint of helplessness, yet was full of mystery.
"Tell me, will I believe it?"
At this moment, I looked curiously at the darkness next door, and in that darkness, the old man might be standing there.
