Chapter 187: A Familiar Face In Hell

When Chen Zhao walked back into the house, Fali asked, “Who’s that?”

“Pierce South, the owner of that chemical factory. Also, he’s a wizard.”

“Did the two of you argue? I saw you punch him.”

Instead of hiding anything from Fali, Chen Zhao told her about Pierce’s intention to cooperate with him.

Just then, Raymond climbed up Chen Zhao’s arm and hissed.

Fali could not understand Raymond, but Chen Zhao could.

“Human, I have a friend who’s ill. Come to my hometown and help me to treat him.”

“Will I get anything?”

If it was Raymond who needed treatment, Chen Zhao would go to Hell and help him for free.

After all, Raymond had helped Chen Zhao a lot, although Raymond had still been unwilling to call him master.

However, since it was someone else, the first thing that Chen Zhao thought of was his own benefit.

“My friend is a True Visioner. He has no territory. Even the sacrifices needed to summon you to Hell will be from me,” Raymond said.

“Is he that important to you?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Yes. He once gave me a Pristine Eyeball, which became my current left eye.”

“Chen, are you speaking with Raymond?” Fali asked curiously.

“Yup,” Chen Zhao nodded.

“I’m going to my room now.” While Fali envied Chen Zhao’s ability, she could not understand Raymond at all. Feeling rather bored, she decided to go back to her room.

Chen Zhao watched as Fali left the living room. Then, he asked Raymond, “What’s a Pristine Eyeball?”

“A Pristine Eyeball can be placed at any part of one’s body, and it’ll function like an actual eyeball. However, the Pristine Eyeball will also change according to one’s bloodline.”

“What changes are there?”

“The left eye of my true body can cast the curse Age.”

“If I get one, how will I change?”

“Human bloodline cannot change the Pristine Eyeball; only demonic bloodlines can. If you can heal my friend, I can promise you for him that you’ll get three Pristine Eyeballs. You can place it on your right hand. It should work given your right hand’s Gluttony Bloodline.”

“Alright. Summon me to Hell then.”

“Wait for a while. My true body in Hell hasn’t finished the preparation. Also, you’ll have to be quick. I don’t have that many sacrifices available so you’ll only be able to stay for six hours.”

“Then let me prepare too. Does you friend have some kind of disease?”

“I dunno. He’s in a bad shape now.”

Chen Zhao was not very confident in treating demons too. Although the demonic medical book had various case studies, there were too many different types of demons. Even the book could not cover everything.

Chen Zhao thought about it and asked, “Describe his symptoms.”

“A few of his eyes are blind. Also, vomiting and weakness…”

“How many eyes does he have?”

“I don’t know…”

“What? You don’t know?”

“One hundred plus I suppose.”

Just then, Fali came out from her room and saw Chen Zhao packing his toolbox.

“Chen, are you going out?”

“Yup.”

“You have a patient?”

“Kind of.”

“What do you mean by kind of?”

Suddenly, Chen Zhao’s body started to fade.

“What’s happening to you? Where are you going?”

“I’m leaving for a day… Help me to take care of…”

Fali recalled that last time when Chris and Sienna came over, they told her that Chen Zhao had just disappeared right before them.

Chen Zhao finally saw Raymond’s true form, which was much bigger than Beelzebub’s. He was a thirty meter long gargantuan snake with two horns on his head. With a row of bony spikes on his back, he looked truly fearsome.

“Raymond?”

“Human, here you are.”

Raymond lowered his body. “Come up to my head.”

Raymond’s head was not even as comfortable as Obitos’.

Because he slithered extremely quickly, his head kept moving up and down.

It was really annoying. Chen Zhao had a hard time maintaining his stability while standing on Raymond’s head, not to mention about sitting down.

Chen Zhao had to hold on tightly to one of Raymond’s bony spikes. The sulfur-filled air rushed against his face and he could hardly open his mouth.

Soon, Raymond’s trembling weakened. They had entered a desert.

Chen Zhao noticed many souls buried beneath the sands. Occasionally, an incomplete soul would jump onto the surface, only to be engulfed again by the yellowness in the next instant.

Twenty minutes into the desert, Chen Zhao finally saw an enormous pit in the distance from Raymond’s head.

He estimated that the huge pit had a diameter of at least ten kilometers. However, as they neared the pit, Chen Zhao realized that he was gravely mistaken.

The pit was much bigger than he had imagined. The sand around the pit continuously flew down.

Similarly, souls were dragged along the moving sand, eventually falling into the bottomless abyss.

Raymond crawled to the edge of the pit. Chen Zhao’s heart almost skipped a beat: the pit was not just wide, but also strikingly deep.

“It’s the Endless Abyss,” Raymond said.

“You didn’t bring me here to enjoy the scenery, did you?”

“Of course not.” Raymond approached the very edge of the Endless Abyss and then climbed down the rough side of the abyss.

While it seemed very risky at first, Raymond had in fact climbed this path countless times already. Hence, it felt rather stable.

After over a hundred meters of descent, they came to a small platform which led to a cave in the wall.

The cave was very big, indeed much bigger than Beelzebub’s house, although it was simple.

It was tens of meters deep, which was sufficient for Raymond to move around freely.

“Raymond, are you still single now?”

“Yup,” Raymond answered emotionlessly, looking at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao had originally thought that as a Snake of Desire, Raymond should already have a large family.

“Where’s my patient?”

“Wait. I’ll bring him here now.”

As he spoke, Raymond moved his huge body away, leaving Chen Zhao alone here.

Chen Zhao walked to the platform outside and looked down into the bottomless abyss.

Suddenly, a soul fell from the sky and landed on the platform.

Chen Zhao looked at the soul. Wait, isn’t this the old witch Winry Gargamel?!

“Old witch?”

“Huh? It’s you! Damn, did you fall to Hell too?” Despite being dead, Winry’s soul was still rather complete, probably because of the fact that she was a witch. At least she still recognized Chen Zhao. From her look, it was evident that her immense hatred towards Chen Zhao had not decreased.

Winry’s soul suddenly started to expand. “Meeting you here is the luckiest thing in my life!”

“Why does this line sound so awkward…” Chen Zhao’s cheek twitched. He felt as if he had just been sincerely proposed.

“I’ll tear you apart, and then devour your soul bit by bit… Haha…”

“Given how rare it is to see a familiar face in Hell, can’t we just sit down, have a cup of tea, and forget about our conflict in the human world?” Chen Zhao said, frustrated.

“Do you think that’s possible? I am here all because of you! My hatred towards you is endless, just like the sand above this very abyss!”

“Then have you thought about what if… you still can’t beat me?”
