Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1338 - 1272: Infinite City

The streets were bustling with souls, these souls had no physical form, and Huang Yi and the others could pass through them directly.

At this moment, they were all charging forward at the fastest speed, twelve bodies turning into a string of shadows, hurriedly passing through countless souls on the streets, crossing numerous intersections in this crimson city.

Even after rushing forward for a long time, they still hadn’t reached the end of the street, as if the street had no end.

"This is too strange, why can’t we get out of this street?" Little Rascal finally couldn’t help but ask.

"Moreover, the altitude we’ve been at seems to have remained unchanged, the distance between us and the clouds is still the same." Heavenly Dao looked up at the half mountainside obscured by dark clouds in the distance, and said gravely.

Huang Yi and the others finally slowed their pace, no longer blindly moving forward.

This city clearly has a problem!

"Let’s try my tracking dog first!" At this moment, the only hunter, Fuchan Fenrao, suddenly spoke and gestured with her hand.

Instantly, a dog-like animal appeared at her feet. This dog had two heads, sticking out two tongues, with two noses twitching continuously as if sniffing something, and four eyes rolling around, looking very intelligent.

Fuchan Fenrao extended a hand, pointing to the street ahead!

The Two-Headed Dog immediately dashed forward, turning into a phantom, disappearing at the dense end of the souls ahead.

Time passed by second by second, and the Two-Headed Dog still hadn’t returned. Fuchan Fenrao’s expression gradually became solemn.

Eventually, she seemed to finally give up waiting, shaking her head and said, "My tracking dog didn’t find the end of this road, it seems to be an infinite street, you can never reach the end!"

"Never reaching the end? Are we trapped here?" Little Rascal frowned, speaking while touching the seven sins words on her forehead.

"Let’s try another road then!" Huang Yi said, quickly walking to a nearby intersection and turning for the first time.

After turning, everyone continued their fast pace, moving forward along the street, once again passing through countless souls coming head-on.

But after walking for a long time, this street also had no end.

They seemed to be trapped in an infinite city, no matter in which direction they walked, they never reached the end.

"This city seems to have no concept of space, no matter how we walk, there is no distance change with the reference point, as if we are walking in place." Thunder God said, pointing to a giant rock on the half mountainside of Purgatory Mountain, "When I entered this city, I saw that giant rock. It’s outside of this city, in a higher place on Purgatory Mountain. Yet even after all this walking, its relative position with us has not changed at all."

"Not only is there no concept of space, there is also no concept of time." Huang Yi added.

Earlier, when he activated the Eye of Time, he already discovered that this Purgatory had no concept of time, with no past or future changes, not within the river of time.

It now appears that Purgatory also has no concept of space.

Indeed, this Purgatory is bizarre, as soon as you enter Hell’s Gate, it’s immediately different from the outside.

Looks like we need to search for some clues to break this predicament.

Everyone slowed their pace, walking quickly while carefully observing the surroundings, searching for any hints.

Countless viewers watching the live broadcast also widened their eyes, closely observing each detail along the way.

First of all, the most noticeable thing in this city is the bustling souls moving on the street.

Those souls walked with swagger, heads slightly raised, eyes glancing upwards, a haughty smile on their lips, an air of arrogance and self-importance.

"These souls are so weird, they just focus on walking, completely ignoring everything else, what exactly are they doing?" Little Rascal spoke, mischievously reaching out her hand to grab the chest of a female soul walking towards her, as her hand directly passed through the woman’s chest.

The female soul continued raising her gaze, not even glancing at Little Rascal, directly passing through her.

"See that samurai soul ahead? That soul is a Demigod Expert’s soul!" At this moment, Abigail suddenly looked at a soul ahead, alertly saying.

Everyone turned to look in that direction, and saw a soul amidst the crowd walking towards them. He had two slender swords at his waist, a black headscarf tied on his head, walking with swagger like the other souls, his swords swaying with his movement.

At this moment, the Pope suddenly stretched out the lightning in his hand, lightly piercing towards that samurai soul.

"Crack~" A small electric snake immediately shot out, looking tiny but emitting destructive power like divine thunder, electrifying that samurai soul and directly penetrating his body.

But that samurai soul remained unscathed, continuing his steady pace without paying attention to the Pope’s attack.

Soon, that samurai reached Huang Yi, directly passing through him and went behind.

Subsequently, everyone tried many methods, greeting those souls, talking, making gestures, but none of the souls paid attention to them.

After researching for a bit, everyone found no leads, so they shifted their focus onto the buildings of the city.

Buildings on both sides of the street had open doors, allowing direct entry.

Then, they arrived at a church-like building, Huang Yi turned to signal everyone, leading them inside.

The church had rows of long benches, walls adorned with various murals, exquisite and splendid, with a religious statue standing in the center.

At this moment, beneath the religious statue, stood a group of souls resembling clergy.

Their arms crossed on their chests, one foot casually perched on the base of the statue, slightly swaying, eyes slightly squinting, lips curved upward in arrogance.

On their faces, not a trace of humility or reverence towards God could be seen, as if they themselves were deities!

"What kind of broken religion is this! Why are these believers so arrogant towards the idol they worship?" Little Rascal stuck out her tongue, said in surprise.

"By the way! What’s the first of the Seven Deadly Sins?" At this moment, Huang Yi suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at the Poet.

"Arrogance!" The Poet immediately uttered the two words.

"There it is!" Huang Yi said, glancing at the clergy beneath the statue, "All the souls we saw on the way, including the clergy in this chapel, appear arrogant. Maybe this city is the first of the Seven Great Trials that Assassin mentioned, a place for atoning the sin of arrogance."
