Chapter 867: Chapter 866 Yin Yang Road
“Yin Yang State… How could you know?”
‘The cargo’ couldn’t understand how Han Dong, as a common beggar, knew of such legends that circulated in the Underworld.
However.
On the other hand, why would a common beggar stay with such a terrifying female corpse, and seemingly have good relations with her?
“Hurry up, my time is limited.”
Just as Han Dong urged.
A prickling sensation spread throughout ‘the cargo’s’ entire body; even within the leather bag, one could faintly see some purple centipedes burrowing in and out… A certain malicious witchcraft had been activated.
Even such a ‘dissociated’ cargo felt intense fear, for the pain brought by such witchcraft would be ten times more painful than the ‘dissociation’ it experienced at death.
“Do you know about the Yin Yang Road?”
In the absence of any hostility, black hair grew out of the cargo’s mouth, weaving three characters on the table.
“Not quite, let me hear it…”
“As expected, you are not from here,” said the female corpse, “otherwise you would certainly know… Anyone who experiences life and death here must set foot on this special road.”
At this moment, the hair spread across the table once again composed a string of text – “Once on the Road, Yin and Yang divide”
“That’s interesting, continue.”
“Yin Yang Road doesn’t specifically refer to a certain road.
When this road appears, there will be no obvious signs; it can appear at any time, under any circumstances, in any area… The frequency of its appearance is affected by ‘karmic good and evil.’
It might be a common fork in the roads in the countryside,
or a common junction in a mall that leads to different sections,
or it might be at a turn in a staircase, where going up or down could lead to completely different outcomes,
The small-time hooligans who approached me as delivery guys had prematurely stepped onto the Yin Yang Road… They chose the Yin Road between [Street-Yang] and [Lane-Yin].
This ultimately led to their deaths.”

Han Dong immediately followed with, “So it’s just a common karmic issue? Because they robbed you, they died… If they hadn’t robbed or had robbed someone on a major street, they would have survived.”
“No… it’s not just a simple karmic issue.
Their intentions and the accumulation of their bad karma, among other factors, brought about the arrival of the Yin Yang Road… Even if they had chosen the Yang Road and survived, the Yin Yang Road would continue to appear afterward.
The more they survive, the more frequently the Yin Yang Road will appear.
Until individual’s death.”
“Oh? A fatal outcome…” Han Dong’s interest deepened, and after a brief analysis, he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, the ‘number’ of times the Yin Yang Road appears and whether one can become a ‘spirit’ like you are also related, right?”
“Exactly… If a person chooses the Yang Road more than three times.
Even if they later choose the Yin Road and die, they can still act as spirits from the Underworld in the human world… For instance, I successfully chose the Yang Road four times before dying on the Yin Road.
Unfortunately, that night, a sudden heavy rain made me choose a shortcut home that symbolized the Yin Road, and I was targeted by a long-lurking habitual offender who dismantled my body and packed it into a large leather bag.”
As she talked about this event.
The woman in the leather bag gnashed her teeth, and one could even see a red mist of resentment floating out.
“I roughly understand now… Tell me, what is ‘Yin Yang State’?”
“It is a legend that circulates in the Underworld.
Those who enter this state are without exception, humans of great malice, great kindness, or extreme luck… At least I have never seen anyone achieve such a state.
According to the legend’s description.
To enter this state, certain prerequisites must be met.
1. One must encounter the Yin Yang Road eighteen times and choose the Yang Road every time.
Moreover, when the Yin Yang Road appears more than ten times, it may present multiple roads at the same time… It’s no longer choosing between two, but choosing from three, four, or even nine (one lives, nine die).
2. Under the aforementioned condition of nine-deaths-one-life.
The Yin Road becomes unavoidable, and every path leads to the Yin Road.”””
Even though the road ahead leads to the temple… the monks inside will transform into Shura demons.
At this point, it becomes necessary for this human to achieve ‘Undying’ status on Yin Yang Road.
But maintaining ‘Undying’ is the only thing one can do, as reversing the fate of Yin Yang Road alone is impossible.
Take me as an example.
If one stormy night, armed with a personal weapon, I kill the ‘frequent offender’ trying to dismember me… this would achieve a small part of ‘Undying’.
But the frequent offender is not equivalent to Yin Yang Road.
Subsequently, I might be accidentally pushed into a river and drown or get killed by a passing fugitive.
Those who reach the brink of ‘nine deaths and one life’ can keep maintaining the state of ‘Undying’ on Yin Yang Road.
In the end, they will receive the ‘Compromise’ of Yin Yang Road.
It grants the human a chance, at the cost of their suicide, to exchange for the absolute power of Yin Yang Road and enter the state you want to know about—the ‘Yin Yang State’… what it ultimately becomes, I’m not quite sure.”
“Nine deaths and one life, Undying… Miss Chen Li indeed did not disappoint me.”
Getting so much information, Han Dong was quite satisfied… However, with just over an hour left, Han Dong wanted to confirm further.
Han Dong stared at the contents of the handbag and asked softly:
“Then, have you heard the name Chen Li?”
“No… but perhaps the target who is supposed to receive this delivery might know. She is the ‘Dragon Granny’.
Today is July 14th, a large portion of the Underworld’s populace visits Dragon Granny, with the lucky ones getting promoted, even the unlucky ones get some food.”
“How long will it take to walk there?”
“We’re very close, at most twenty minutes away.”
“One last question… The road we are taking to meet Dragon Granny, and the road we’d take if we refused the delivery, could both possibly be ‘Yin Yang Road’?”
“Yes.
If you don’t want to take me there, please drop me by the roadside, and I will seek another ‘deliverer’.”
Han Dong checked the time, placed his hand on Miss Jane’s hand, and after a bit of telepathic communication.
“Alright… lead us to meet ‘Dragon Granny’.”
Miss Jane was disguised by Han Dong as a disabled person in a wheelchair, moving forward.
The handbag was also placed on Miss Jane, maintaining extreme pressure of terror to ensure that this ‘delivery’ led Han Dong and his group directly to where Dragon Granny lived.
The Kowloon district in the nineties seemed exceptionally crowded.
Due to the special date of July 14th, pots for burning offerings, candles, and hell money could be seen everywhere along the streets.
As they got closer to where Dragon Granny lived, the scent of living people gradually decreased…
Soon, as the group entered a street named ‘Yu Lan Street’.
An old, densely packed apartment building stood at the end of the street… Oddly enough, all the pots here were knocked over, and the candles were all snuffed out.
The air was filled with a stench of blood.
The guide in the handbag became extremely restless.
Just then.
Bang… a sound of breaking glass came.
Crack!
Followed by some glass shards falling down, an old woman landed right in front of Han Dong, oddly wearing a red scarf around her body.
The handbag opened.
The dismembered woman inside trembled and said, “Dragon Granny… is dead!”
Han Dong sniffed a whiff of danger, turned to look at the street sign hanging by the roadside, the words ‘Yu Lan Street’ originally printed on it had turned into ‘Yin Yang Road’.
He then looked up toward the top of the apartment building.
On the rooftop, there seemed to be a woman in red floating…
