After arriving in this vast country, he had no valid identification and followed the middle-aged man in his dealings.
Then he committed all sorts of cris.
—The most desperate mont of his life was when smuggling saved his life!
Wu Xiaode had a thought.
Lines of small characters suddenly appeared in the notebook:
"I am constructing a special purification site per your request—"
"3,"
"2,"
"1,"
"Complete!"
Just as Brother Gou was growing impatient, Wu Xiaode stopped.
He pointed to a hidden path beside the Naihe Bridge, looked around carefully, and whispered,
"Co this way."
Seeing his expression, Brother Gou also beca cautious.
"Buddy, what exactly do you do?"
He asked quietly.
Wu Xiaode lowered his voice and said,
"Your family sheltered you, they burned a lot of paper money and held a big ritual while you were at sea. I received all those benefits, so I am going to help you escape from the gates of Hell."
"Escape?"
"Yes, I’ve arranged a boat to help you and other brothers who paid enough money to get away," Wu Xiaode said, patting him on the shoulder.
The two walked down the steps beside the Naihe Bridge and soon reached the river’s surface.
There was already a small boat there.
Brother Gou looked toward the boat and saw seven or eight n already on board.
These n, either scruffy or fierce-looking, clearly belonged to the underworld.
The boat’s captain was a bare-chested man covered in tattoos.
Brother Gou was instantly convinced to a great extent.
With these people, there was no way it could be fake!
He might not excel at everything, but surviving for so long in the underworld was testant to his keen eye!
"That is the snakehead, don’t make eye contact with him; he would find it disrespectful. Respectfully call him Brother Gou,"
Wu Xiaode whispered.
"Got it." Brother Gou understood imdiately.
He advanced a few steps and greeted the boat’s captain respectfully, "Brother Gou, I appreciate your help this ti. I’ll surely repay you when I make it big."
The boat’s captain spoke impatiently,
"Less talk, get on board—hey, you, don’t bring anyone else, we’re about to set sail!"
"Alright, this is the last one. I won’t take on any more business today," Wu Xiaode responded with a smile.
He quietly patted Brother Gou.
Brother Gou, who had seen his share of big scenes, caught on imdiately, dashed towards the small boat, leaned with his chest against the outer rim of the boat, and expertly flipped inside with a "thump."
—This was a shaless way to board the boat, as once soone was on board like this, it was almost impossible to push them off without great force.
It looked unsightly, but it was highly practical during a stormy sea.
Even if a fight broke out, he would still have one hand free to grasp weapons like knives and harpoons.
Only pirates who spent years at sea, making a living on the water, knew the advantages of this position.
"Hey you, Blondie, where did you belong before? Co over here and talk,"
the most fierce-looking man on the boat demanded.
After hearing his tone, Brother Gou’s last bit of doubt vanished completely.
From the way the man spoke, he could sll that familiar scent.
It was an instinct among desperados.
—Evildoers could naturally recognize their own kind.
Wu Xiaode stood by the side of the boat and shouted at the man,
"Don’t touch my people. We all are smuggling ourselves for reincarnation. Anyone who causes trouble will be thrown into the river by the captain to beco a Water Ghost by the captain."
The man grunted, and then fell silent.
The boat captain called out loudly, "Alright. Let’s go. Soon the patrol will co, and we won’t be able to leave."
"Go ahead."
Wu Xiaode nodded at Brother Gou again.
Wu Xiaode suddenly thought of sothing and scurried to the side of the boat, shouting to Wu Xiaode:
"Bro, leave a contact. I’ll burn so paper money for you when I get back."
Burn my ass off!
Wu Xiaode inwardly scoffed but said, "No need for the paper money, the inflation in Hell is so severe these days, paper money can hardly buy anything."
Yellow Hair quickly thought of sothing else and said, "Then let tell you sothing."
"Speak," Wu Xiaode said.
"You killed my boss, right?" Yellow Hair asked.
"Yes."
"You... need to be careful of him; he’s a monster."
"How so?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.
Fear flashed in Yellow Hair’s eyes as he whispered tremblingly, "If there are other people around him, don’t get close. I’ve always felt that our boss can control multiple people, as if they were extensions of himself."
A sudden tightness clutched at Wu Xiaode’s heart.
Could it be that Yellow Hair was just warming up, and the middle-aged man who was reincarnated next was the main event?
—Yellow Hair himself was a terrifying existence, sealed in this world.
Yet he was afraid of his own boss!
Even more chilling was—
he unthinkingly told the underworld ssengers to avoid his boss.
This indicated that in his understanding, his boss could even kill underworld ssengers!
"Alright, got it. You’re pretty decent, very thoughtful."
As Wu Xiaode spoke, he took out a bag of money and threw it to the boat captain.
"Make sure my brother is well-cared for on the boat: good food and drink," Wu Xiaode said.
"Don’t worry, we’ve known each other for many years," the boat captain laughed and replied.
Overjoyed, Yellow Hair quickly looked around, then, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, leaned close to Wu Xiaode’s ear and whispered softly:
"I have sothing else."
He pulled out a box and displayed it before Wu Xiaode.
Curiously, Wu Xiaode said, "What is this—"
"Shh, I don’t know what it is, but it has always been guiding , and now I’m scared," Yellow Hair hurriedly said.
"Scared?"
"Yes, it destroyed my life, ruined everything, and possesses unspeakable magic power. Now I’m leaving it to you; do whatever you want with it—I bet it could still fetch so money."
Wu Xiaode reached out to take it.
The box, however, shrank back a bit.
So that’s how it is.
Wu Xiaode smiled and said:
"Hmm, I’ll take this thing off your hands. Is there anything else you want?"
"Please let have a good reincarnation," Yellow Hair said.
Wu Xiaode leaned close to his ear and whispered softly:
"I’m very pleased with this item, I’ll let you live forever, at least a few thousand years, how about that?"
Overjoyed, Yellow Hair handed the box to Wu Xiaode.
"Is it a deal?"
"We underworld ssengers do not lie."
"Then thank you, brother."
"Hmm."
The two finished their conversation.
The boat captain loudly declared, "Set sail!"
Amidst swirling mists, the small boat drifted away into the river waters.
Wu Xiaode waved at Yellow Hair, saying, "See you around."
From afar, Yellow Hair also waved his hand, gratefully saying, "Brother, I’ll rember you. See you around."
The small boat gradually faded into the distance and disappeared from sight.
Wu Xiaode looked down at the box in his hands.
Didn’t expect such an unexpected gain.
At that mont, his notebook opened automatically, displaying a few lines of text:
"First successful transcending."
"The counterpart has reincarnated into the primitive forest as a spruce."
