    What will the ghost town of 665 look like?

    The crane had been sitting there feebly, but now it simply lay on the ground, looking up at the sky without image at all, as if one could still see the former night sky from above the smoke-filled sky.

    "if you're lucky, there may be new guides." The crane said, pausing, "unfortunate words may become a land without owner."

    A land without an owner.

    Su Qingxing never liked the word.

    No one would think of the greatness and vastness of the underworld when standing in the ruins of such a fiery ghost city. But for the underworld, the ghost city is only a small part of the underworld, insignificant.

    The underworld never cares about the life or death of any ghost city, even if a city without guides and builders is as irrelevant to the underworld as the absence of a drop of water in the sea.

    But a ghost town without builders and guides. But it will become an ownerless land, lose all bondage and control, and eventually lead to the road of self-destruction. Thinking of this, Su Qingxing glanced at half of the ghost town engulfed by the fire and felt that although the guide here was still alive, the city had reached the brink of destruction.

    The term "guide in the underworld" sounds very majestic at first, and it has many privileges in the trial world.

    For example, the underworld guide can know the life information of each trainee, can freely travel to and from the ghost town and the trial world, and can summon ghost city ghosts during the trial process.

    Most importantly, the underworld guide can open the door to lava hell and lock the eliminated ghosts into lava hell!

    But there is one thing that needs to be taken care of by the underworld guides, that is, when the ghost being picked up officially becomes a part of the ghost town, the residents of the ghost city can no longer be easily sent to lava hell.

    To put it simply, the ghosts of their own choice should live in peace even if they cry.

    In order to prevent the underworld guides from being eaten back by the ghosts of their own choice, the guides will generally try not to choose ghosts that they cannot control.

    Over time, the stronger the ability of the underworld guide, the more popular it is with the ghost town. After all, for monsters such as Minotaur and Horse Noodles, which are the most suitable for guides, they only need to sneeze to make the monsters in the ghost town obedient.

    As for the guides of the underworld, who are of weak blood, even if they earnestly ask the ghosts to behave themselves, they will have little effect.

    It is for this reason that when other ghost towns know the current situation of 666 ghost town, the first conclusion is that the new guide of 666 ghost town must be very weak, so the selected ghosts are those that are not hostile and easy to control.

    Su Qingxing does not intend to defend this misunderstanding.

    But in front of this Mr. Grey Crane.

    Even Su Qingxing can see that the strength of the crane is not strong, or even very weak, but don't know why so many uncontrollable ghosts have been selected to enter the ghost town.

    "where is the architect of the ghost town?" In Su Qingxing's view, although cinnabar always likes to stay in his room, she is one of the indispensable managers in the ghost town.

    "not all ghost towns are as lucky as 666. Ahem." The crane lying on the ground turned to see Su Qingxing. "compared with the guides, there are very few people who can become architects, and very few people can become good architects. I believe that most of the ghost cities at the entrance to the underworld lack qualified builders, even as I do here."

    Su Qingxing has heard about architects and knows that cinnabar is a very special existence among architects.

    According to Su Qingxing's understanding, most architects will not build scripts for the trial world, but at most create a most basic world, similar to deserts, wastelands, doomsday, volcanoes.

    Perhaps cinnabar is the only architect who has worked so hard to create so many different worlds.

    "you are no longer capable of running this place." After hesitating for a moment, Su Qingxing told the truth, "the person who will take over here must be found quickly."

    "would anyone want to work here?" The crane looked at the fire-flooded street. "Ghost cities with job openings can be found everywhere, how could anyone take a fancy to a place like 665?"

    Su Qingxing thinks that cranes are also very sad, but they also don't make people feel sorry for them.

    "you are the elder, so as a younger generation, I should not have said more." Su Qingxing shook his head. "but these things could have been avoided, but as a guide to the underworld, Mr. Crane, you did not do it."

    "Boy, I'm dying, so why sprinkle salt on my wound?" The crane coughed several times and coughed up blood again. "I thought that as long as the strength of the ghost town could become stronger, the residents of the ghost town could live a better life." But I didn't expect it. When I brought the first fierce ghost into the ghost town, I had already sent my originally peaceful life into the mouth of the tiger. "

    "Su Qingxing, your name is Su Qingxing, right?" The voice of the crane has some spirit, but it looks more like a flashback at this time. "the ghost town convention held every 200 years, you must be careful!" To be careful! Even if you lose for a while, you must not destroy the peace of Ghost Town 666! You must be careful! "

    The crane suddenly grabbed Su Qingxing's hand and pressed it as tightly as he could.

    "if you really regret it, I can help you." Su Qingxing said this sentence not because he was soft-hearted for a moment, but because he hoped that the neighbors of his ghost town would be as calm as possible!

    But the crane still shook his head, and the corner of his mouth exposed to his hair suddenly smiled and said with inexplicable pride, "actually, I lied to you just now."

    "."

    "I have found a new man who is willing to take over Ghost Town 665." The crane sounded really happy, "but I can't let the newlyweds see such a bad ghost town, so I will make the final clean-up."

    The final clean-up?

    After hearing the crane say these five words, Su Qingxing suddenly changed his face, and many blue light spots suddenly appeared around Su Qingxing, holding up Su Qingxing's whole body and floating in the mid-air of Ghost Town 665.

    That is, the moment Su Qingxing floated, the whole street of Ghost Town No. 665 in his field of vision began to crack!

    The ghosts, who were still fighting and quarreling, made a final cry for help at this moment. But the crane just smiled and watched the gates of lava hell open in the ghost town!

    The topography of each ghost town is very similar.

    A straight street with different buildings on both sides.

    But if you look down at the whole ghost town from above, doesn't it look like a door? The middle street is the crack of the door, and the buildings on both sides are the left and right doors.

    When the guide opens the lava hell in the ghost town, it opens the door of the real hell that can destroy the whole ghost city!

    "Su Qingxing, finally do me a favor." The crane just lay on the cracked street, refused Su Qingxing's help and shouted loudly

    "if you see the new guide in Ghost Town 665, tell him. This is actually a great ghost town! With his efforts, he will get better one day! "

    "and thank you for staying with me to the end, Su Ye."

    At the moment of hearing the name, Su Qingxing's face showed an incredible expression. Because the last name called out by the crane. Su Ye. That's the name of Su Qingxing's mother!

    Does it mean that the guide in the underworld that the crane has been hearing in his previous words is his mother?!

    After saying that, the last strength of the crane brushed into the gap in mid-air, and then closed its eyes forever.

    Su Qingxing just Levitate on top of the open lava hell, watching the bodies of cranes sink into lava, watching the ghosts and buildings of the whole ghost town fall into lava.

    "Ah!"

    Su Qingxing, who was Levitate in the air, watched all this silently, and then threw the paper lamp that had been in his hand directly into the lava sea in front of him.

    In the paper lanterns are the intruders who were trapped on the third floor of the villa, and now they have returned home in another way.

    I do not know how long, the opening of the gates of hell closed, the whole 665 ghost town returned to calm.

    But at this moment, there is no life other than Su Qingxing in Ghost Town 665, and those buildings that have already collapsed have also disappeared into the lava with those ghosts.

    There is only a straight street that stretches out into the endless distance.

    There's nothing left.

    Su Qingxing did not know what kind of memories the crane and his mother had.

    But Su Qingxing knew that the crane's last choice was to go to hell with all the ghosts he had chosen.

    The crane had helped repair half of the gap before it died, so Su Qingxing just reached out and completely closed the gap suspended in mid-air, and then disappeared from a barren ghost town of 665.

    Before Su Qingxing left, he vaguely saw the sky, which had been completely obscured by fire and smoke, and seemed to finally show its original appearance.

    That's the original black.

    In the blink of an eye, Su Qingxing has returned to the ghost town No. 666 where he is responsible for his duties. Although it looks empty and silent, and although buildings stand like tombstones in the dark, when Su Qingxing is completely exposed to the familiar cold air, there is a kind of …. What it feels like to be home.

    In a street where there are no people and ghosts, the light of the roadside lights is so faint that Su Qingxing just strolls along the street.

    The residents of Ghost Town 666 seem to be very few, but in fact, most of the residents are working in a trial world. But even so, there are far more residents in this ghost town than the eyes can see.

    "Lord guide!" A female voice came from the right side of Su Qingxing.

    As soon as turned around, saw a ghost in a white dress standing next to the bus stop in the ghost town. She looked spooky, but she was respectfully greeting Su Qingxing.

    "Thank you for your hard work, Sensen." Su Qingxing called out the name of the ghost, "there are many new people in the ghost town recently, and the reception work has become busier, right?"

    "Yes, but everyone is a good boy, and they don't have any problems in arranging accommodation and work." The female ghost named Sensen has been in charge of the reception of the new "people" in the ghost city, solving many problems for Su Qingxing and cinnabar, as managers.

    Su Qingxing walked on, and when he came to the gate of a school, he happened to see the ghosts of Class 2 and 4 of Senior High School coming out of the school gate, looking at the examination papers in their hands and looking pale one by one.

    Although ghosts were originally pale and pale, Su Qingxing felt that these students seemed to have been hit by the examination in the ghost town.

    "Lord guide!" After seeing Su Qingxing, the students stopped to say hello to him. Perhaps it was because they had just arrived in the ghost town, and Su Qingxing had been their classmate, so the students were more open-minded than they were just now, smiling and waving to Su Qingxing warmly.

    "it looks like an impressive exam." Su Qingxing pointed to the paper he had promised them.

    Then, all the students showed an exaggerated expression of despair and wailed, "Mr. Chubai's research exam is terrible. I'd rather recite English words!"

    "I'd rather be a sophomore in high school for another ten years!"

    "Oh, my God, this is so ruthless!"

    "."

    After chatting with the students in Class two or four of senior high school for a while, there was a rickety bus coming from afar, which could be regarded as a bus for the students after school.

    From the driver's seat of the bus, there was also a figure familiar to Su Qingxing.

    "well, long time no see, young master!"

    "long time no see, Zhang Biao." Su Qingxing smiled and greeted Zhang Biao, the driver of the ghost city, and watched the bus full of students staggering away.

    On the way back to the ghost town management office, Su Qingxing said hello to all the ghosts he met along the road. Although some of the ghosts of the ghost town were brought by Su Qingxing's predecessor, everyone had a very good run-in with the new underworld guides and got along very well with each other.

    At least.

    He will never allow 666 ghost town to become the next 665 ghost town!

    After Su Qingxing entered the "Ghost City Management Office", there was a bigger "surprise" waiting for him.

    "Qingxing!" As soon as the door of the management office was pushed open, cinnabar pounced on Su Qingxing with her hair in a mess. "it's not good!"

    "what's going on?" Seeing the flustered look on his friend's face, Su Qingxing became nervous for a moment. "Yes." Computer crashes, running out of snacks, creative bottlenecks, or have you finally found French fries in your hair? "

    "." Cinnabar accepted Su Qingxing's alternative concern, then shook her head desperately and said, "No, no!" It's Shapi from Ghost City 444 to send a notice again! How long has it taken to send two official notices to the ghost city? is it the end of the world in the underworld? "

    "what's going on?" Su Qingxing tried to pat cinnabar on the back to calm the anxious architect as much as possible.

    "Yes." Cinnabar swallowed nervously. "Great maintenance once in 200 years!"

    "maintenance?" Su Qingxing doesn't quite understand the meaning of the word.

    "to put it simply, the Underworld shuts down the trial space every 200 years, making use of the test space during this period of time. Well, something like the general program is maintained for about 30 minutes. " Cinnabar became more and more excited. "during this period of time, the trainees were not allowed to enter the trial space, not even the ghosts and guides of the ghost town!"

    "but the last time the entrance to the Underworld was closed for three seconds, it caused so much trouble, this time." Su Qingxing doesn't know if he understands the meaning of cinnabar.

    "different, different!" Cinnabar shook her head immediately. "the closure of the entrance to the Underworld will prevent the dead from entering the Underworld, and the entrance to the Underworld will not be closed during maintenance, but the trainee will not be able to enter the trial space."

    "where else can the trainees go if they don't go to the trial?" Su Qingxing immediately asked like a curious baby.

    "." Cinnabar immediately tried to take a deep breath, and finally revealed the answer, "all the souls of the dead during this period entered the ghost town at the first time!"

    Cinnabar stressed the last sentence and went on to explain: "all the souls who died during maintenance will be tested directly in the ghost town!"

    Tested in Ghost City?!

    "Qingxing, can you imagine?" Cinnabar's emotion became more and more excited. "this is definitely the biggest test map ever!" All the ghosts from above and below the ghost city will play the role and participate in it! The most trainees! The most group performances! The biggest map! The largest scale! This can be said to be an once-in-a-century festival in Ghost City! "

    Hearing this from cinnabar, Su Qingxing can almost imagine the cheering ghost cities of the martial arts and the law of the jungle at the moment. After all, this can be regarded as the most anticipated scene of chaos in those ghost cities.

    "you seem to like the maintenance." Su Qingxing had some headaches. "then why did you say something bad just now?"

    "because there are only three months left for maintenance!" Cinnabar looks like she has a headache, scratching her already messy hair. "even if the maps, buildings and staff of Ghost City are ready-made, as a builder, I still want to finish the best script!" I already have the inspiration, as long as all the ideas are realized in three months, I will certainly be able to create scripts and trials that the trainees will never forget! "

    The architect has his own troubles.

    Three months is still a long time for Su Qingxing, but for cinnabar, which wants to prepare the script and arrange the biggest trial, the time is very tight.

    "however, the Green Bank." Cinnabar suddenly calmed down, and her expression became very serious. "since the maintenance once in two hundred years is about to begin, it means that it is coming soon."

    "that? Once every two hundred years? " Su Qingxing thought for a moment, then quickly combined the two things together, and his expression sank. "you mean the ghost town convention that happens once in 200 years?" The ghost town convention that allows the ghost town to fight between the ghost town and the ghost town? "

    "the strength of our Ghost Town 666." Cinnabar's forehead almost began to sweat. "We have to prepare in advance. We can't let school students and ghosts who can do nothing but behave themselves to fight those ghosts, can we?"

    "if you would say so, you should already have a plan." Su Qingxing recognized the voice-over of cinnabar.

    "Ghost Town 666 has a long history. When I first became a builder here, there were actually a lot of tough ghosts in the city to deal with, but because of the lack of guides in the underworld, it was very difficult for me to manage alone." no, no, no. "

    Cinnabar gradually calmed down and even stretched out her hand to tie up the messy red hair and continued, "in order to keep the ghosts out of trouble, I had to set up several different trial worlds according to their requirements." let them leave the ghost town to live in those small worlds. "

    "so I hope you can go to those worlds to see if there are any ghosts who are willing to attend the ghost town convention." Cinnabar's eyes twinkled and seemed a little embarrassed. "those guys who like to make trouble may be interested in the Ghost Town Conference."

    "in that case, maybe the loss of our ghost town will be reduced to a minimum."

    "Yes." Su Qingxing nodded without hesitation.

    "Hey, don't say yes so quickly! You must be prepared. " Cinnabar once again warned, "these ghosts in the world do not know the guide of the underworld at all, even if they know your identity, they may not buy it at all. It can be regarded as the three-free zone of Ghost City 666!"

    "it sounds like fun." Instead, Su Qingxing smiled with interest, and then comforted, "Don't worry, I know you have been worried about a lot of things, worried about these problems, 'teenagers', worried about ghost town meetings, worried about maintenance, worried about my safety and everyone's safety."

    "I'm not worried!" Cinnabar just won't admit it.

    "but don't worry." Su Qingxing smiled at the corners of his mouth. "after all, you are no longer alone supporting Ghost City 666, there are two of us!"

    "so, which world should I go to next?"

    "you guy." Cinnabar couldn't help laughing. "it's a pity you're not my type, or I'll fall in love with you."

    "that's really sorry!" Su Qingxing glared at his friend angrily.
