Xiao Bin still had a deep impression of the warning dream because it had been too realistic.
He said, “The Underworld is different from what we imagined. There are steel bars, mud, streets, and plants there. However, everything is gray. There is no color or sun there. The sky is always dark. I dreamed that when I went there, the surrounding scenery was very familiar to me because it was the city I lived in more than 10 years ago.”
Xiao Bin kept narrating seriously. “Master, although you’re very strong, I’m afraid that you don’t know what the real Underworld looks like. Although it was a dream, I feel like I really went to the Underworld. When I first arrived in that world, a grayish-white person greeted me. I remember him saying, ‘Hey, are you new?’
“I didn’t understand what was going on at the time, but when someone greeted me, I still subconsciously replied and learned about the current situation. Then, he asked, ‘How did you die?’, and I actually said ‘I don’t know. I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly came here’ without thinking.”
At this point, Xiao Bin paused and said, “That dream was really weird. At the time, I also felt very weird. It seemed like I was in a state between consciousness and sleep. Besides, I could feel everything in that dream. The feeling of the wind blowing against me and the pain of being chased and beaten was very real.”
Xiao Bin started explaining why he had been chased and beaten up. He spoke for a long time, but Wei Huo understood. To put it simply, the dream had been very realistic. It had described the real Underworld. The Underworld was not much different from reality. Everyone lived in a steel concrete house, watched television, and played with their phones. The Underworld was the same.
However, the Underworld was more than 10 years behind the real world. Most people would keep their previous jobs after they died. They would sell vegetables and build houses. Xiao Bin’s dream had not been long, so he had not experienced reincarnation. However, he had come into contact with the census of the underworld officials.
Xiao Bin had chatted with a young man in a shop. His social skills were very strong. Not only had he obtained a lot of information during the chat, but he had also chatted happily with the young man. However, later, two staff members in a white suit and a black suit had appeared out of thin air. The two staff members had work permits on their chests. At the same time, they had been holding notebooks in their hands with very serious expressions.
They had found Xiao Bin immediately and asked him about his basic information.
The staff member in the white suit had taken a piece of Xiao Bin’s hair while the staff member in the black suit had said, “Name, cause of death, traits, hobbies…”
Xiao Bin had been confused. He had thought to himself, Why is this the same as the personal introduction that a company needs filled in when recruiting people? However, he still answered by following the rules. Unfortunately, when he gave his real name, the staff member in the black suit suddenly stopped writing and sneered. “I didn’t expect you to be a famous historical figure.”
Xiao Bin was confused. He thought to himself, I’m only in my teens. I haven’t done anything earth-shattering. How could I be a historical figure?
Xiao Bin asked, “Are you talking about me? That’s not possible, is it? Could it be someone with the same name? There are many people in China with this name!”
Xiao Bin did not know the truth, but he felt that something was wrong when he saw the black-suited worker’s sneer.
The staff member in the white suit said, “That’s right. It’s him. We’ve already made the comparison.”
The staff member in the white suit was expressionless, making him appear cold. He had probably acquired Xiao Bin’s hair to compare them.
In the end, the young man Xiao Bin had just met looked at him maliciously. “So you’re XX (Xiao Bin’s real name). You’re very famous here. If I tell others that I met you today, I can brag about it for years!”
Xiao Bin felt that something was wrong and retreated. He did not understand why the people in the Underworld knew his name even though he had not done anything.
