"You... Seriously?" said Chris, who found it hard to accept what Ben just told him.
Ben nodded with a satisfied smile.
Seeing Ben's smile, Chris sighed.
Then, in a split second, he put up a serious and majestic face while partially releasing a white aura before starting to explain everything that happened in the forest, where Ben nearly burst out in laughter when Chris referred the rotten blood as corrupted substances. And when Chris told the villagers that the calamity caused by the corrupted Tree of Life is the repentance for their ancestor's sins, Ben can't help but laughed out a bit while covering his mouth.
Miraculously, with that slightly exaggerated acting from Chris, the villagers are even more convinced that Chris, Ben and Junior are from God and even started worshipping them.
"See? It works perfectly." said Ben with a smug look...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Afterworld. Sky, Ai and Maria are sneakily headed to a warp point that is a kilometre away from Hangan's mansion.
"Uhm... Darling, where are we heading right now? Or rather, where did this warp point lead to?" Maria asked, rather curious and confused.
"Well, this is a warp portal Chris secretly placed here many years ago that lead to the City of Injustice Death. With Chris's special magic seal, this warp portal would only be opened when either Chris or I get near of it." said Sky.
"I see... But why are we heading to the City of Injustice Death?" Maria asked again.
"Well, I bet you didn't notice Hangan's eyes, he glimpsed at a door pass on the rack behind of him a few times just now, and that door pass is the door pass for the City of Injustice Death. Based on how we know Hangan, whenever we need to get to a certain place in Afterworld, he would usually just give us pass or tools needed to get to that place instead of bringing us there by himself, so his small actions just now indicated that he is hesitating whether he should give us that pass to the City of Injustice Death or not, which means that he probably knows that the boy we are looking for is in the City of Injustice Death right now." said Sky.
"Ah... Now you mentioned that, yes, I noticed that as well." said Maria.
"Usually we will need that door pass to pass through the ghost guards at the entrance gates of the City of Injustice Death, but with this warp point, we can directly enter that place without needing to pass through the entrance gate." said Sky.
"Wow... So... Are we going to enter the City of Injustice Death right now?" Maria asked again.
"Uh... I doubt if you understand what I said just now but yes, we are going to the City of Injustice Death." said Sky, who is a bit speechless by Maria's question...
And so, after they had the above conversation, the three of them stepped into the warp point and got warped to the City of Injustice Death where the souls of the coreless people who died prematurely due to tragic death such as accidents, murder, and commit suicide would spend off their remaining time in before heading to where they should be heading to...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The City of Injustice Death.
Ai who arrived in the city for the first time is amazed by the structure of the city, she thought it would be as deadly as the other area in the Afterworld but she was wrong, the City of Injustice Death looks just like a combination of normal cities in Null Dimension and some other dimensions.
"Well, since this City of Injustice Death is like a transit station for souls of people who died prematurely to spend their remaining time before they time due for their next destination, either to heaven, to hell or to reincarnation, thus it has to be a place where they use to live in with." said Sky, explaining the purpose of the city to Ai.
Ai nodded and looks a bit impressed.
"Anyway, Ai, do you remember how that boy looks like? If not it would be very hard for us to look for him in this big city." said Sky.
"Yes, of course I do." said Ai.
"That's great. But it will still be a tedious task to find a single person in such a huge city that is as big as a small country." said Sky.
"Well... Not really. That boy has a really unique trait. For some unknown reason, he will release a creepy aura to the area that is within a radius of a kilometre from him. And if you get really near of him, like maybe within ten meters, you will be able to 'hear' a weird and sad humming of a lady in your head." said Ai.
"Ah... That sounds... Kind of creepy." said Sky.
"Weird humming? You mean something like 'uwooo~ uwooooo~?" Maria asked.
"Heh? Mmm..."
Looking at Maria, Ai nodded with a surprised look.
"Hmm... I think I am kind of hearing it right now, quite faint though." said Maria.
"Huh? What? But I didn't 'hear' anything. Did your super hearing sense work for these 'spiritual sounds' too?" Sky asked, rather confused.
Maria shrugged.
"Tsk... Hmm... Maybe we could try to follow that sound Maria heard, it's better than just mindlessly trying to search through the city with no clue at all." said Sky.
"Mmm... If what Maria-chan heard is indeed from that boy, we should be able to feel his aura if we got close enough to him." said Ai, agreeing with Sky's suggestion.
"Yes, Maria, if you could, lead the wa... Hmm?... Did you two hear that noise?" said Sky, out of the blue.
"What noise?" Maria asked, slightly confused.
"Hmm... I thought I heard some knocking noise just now. Probably just the background noise. Anyway, lead the way for us, Maria." said Sky...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
