Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 199: Journey to Sin City

Liberty City New York, the territory of the Nine Realms Gate under the command of Wanye Corpse Immortal, is located in America.

As my father had instructed, I did not choose to use my magical powers, but instead took the way of a mortal and traveled on a cargo ship.

I still remember the captain's incredible expression when I said I was going to New York. He stared at my head for a long time.

I know he must be wondering whether I am a madman or a fool.

However, after I threw a handful of bills in his face, the captain's expression turned into flattering.

He asked me if I was a psychic or an undead corpse.

I shook my head to show that I am just an ordinary person.

He was surprised after hearing this, he only received cases of people from the Nine Realms Gate smuggling into the Heavenly Court territory, this was the first time he saw the opposite.

I knew that this person had doubts about my identity.

Even though it is a peaceful time now, Heaven has never relaxed its siege of the Nine Realms Gate.

Although the two sides are still trading openly, the drivers of the merchant ships are probably secret agents of Heaven.

This person probably thought I was a criminal who rebelled against the Heavenly Court.

Sure enough, after the captain let me on board, he assigned a room to me, then locked the door and quietly opened the confinement magic circle.

I didn't explain too much, because I was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe me if I told them that I was the acting Lord of Heaven.

According to regulations, this person will report my information soon.

Soon, the confinement magic circle behind my back was released, and in the following days, the captain looked at me with awe.

After the merchant ship arrived at the ferry, just before I got off the ship, the captain bravely reminded me.

Sir, people here are not as honest as they used to be. Dangers are everywhere. There are corpses of the law everywhere. Please be careful.

Proceed with caution?

I was a little disdainful and just kidding.

I am the God of War in Heaven, the Acting Lord of Heaven, the Overlord of Heaven. Even Baili Yuan, the Supreme of Nine Realms Gate, has to flee and suffer defeat in front of me.

When a Dharma corpse sees me, it’s just like a human seeing a Dharma corpse. They are the ones who should be careful.

As soon as I got off the cargo ship and left the isolation of the magic circle, I smelled an indescribable stench.

Although I didn't want to figure out the source of the stench, my powerful state as a seeker of Dharma with great supernatural powers allowed me to analyze the composition of the stench in an instant.

Feces, burning marijuana, the stench of rotting corpses, and the blood of rust.

Mixed with spoiled kitchen waste and exhaust gas from cars.

Industrial waste gas emitted by various factories such as leather factories, plastic factories, chemical plants, etc.

To be honest, even though I had reached the level of a great master at that moment, a feeling of nausea and vomiting still instinctively emerged from my body.

When I smelled this stench, my brain was in a trance for a moment.

In this moment of trance, the suitcase I left at the port disappeared.

As my mind moved, I saw a black man covered in shit-yellow clothes running very fast with my suitcase in his arms, his speed comparable to that of the champion of the mortal world sports meeting held in the Heavenly Court last year.

I was about to reach out and use my magical powers to retrieve the suitcase, but then I thought of the words you, Holy Lord, once told me to travel the world as an ordinary person.

So forget it. Since the bandit is just an ordinary person, I will just be an unlucky guy who got robbed and regard this experience as an interesting journey in the mortal world.

I got into a random taxi and the driver asked me where I was going.

I pointed to the tallest building in front of me and indicated that I would go there.

The driver glanced at me and then drove me into a dark alley.

I looked at the gloomy environment around me and thought that this didn't seem to be the destination.

After saying this, the driver's lewd smile and the black muzzle of a gun appeared in front of me.

The driver told me that this was not the end of the journey, but it was the end of my life.

I looked like a fat lamb, so he asked me to give him all the money I had.

If I was obedient, maybe he would consider letting me go and leaving my body intact instead of selling me on the black market.

I stared at the gun pointed at me, my expression a little tense, and activated my X-ray vision.

From my perspective, the bullets in his gun had already been used up, and now he was holding a gun without bullets to threaten me.

It's a bit interesting, is he bluffing?

Faced with the driver's coercion, I pointed my head at the muzzle of his gun and spoke.

I'm giving you the chance to kill me, shoot now.

My expression was as cold as the stream water in late autumn. When I looked into his eyes, he began to avoid my gaze.

He swallowed and then turned his sarcastic expression into a smile, but the smile looked forced.

Haha, sir, you are joking. I don't think you are a local, so I am just greeting you according to the local customs.

Is it a surprise? Is it an unexpected thing?

The vehicle started and continued to move towards the location I had previously specified.

Seeing that I didn't pursue the matter, the driver started to talk more actively.

It seems that the guest is not a local. Where are you from?

Across the continent is the territory of heaven.

When the driver heard that I came from the sphere of influence of heaven, he sighed but also felt a little confused.

Oh? You are from the realm of heaven, which is a great place.

People here dream of being reborn there, but unfortunately we don't have that blessing.

I was not surprised by the driver's answer. Compared to here, the realm of heaven was indeed like heaven.

Why did you come here, sir? the driver continued to ask.

Why are you here?

I didn't answer the driver's question.

Yes, that's why I came here.

Curiosity, mission, or research?

Maybe both. If I have to say, I just want to find a place to relax.

Relax...

The moment the thought of relaxing came to my mind, I broke out in a cold sweat and an inexplicable fear filled my mind.

Why...

Why would I want to come here to relax? Why do I feel a little happy in such a dirty place?

I have to admit that although this place is in chaos and people's hearts are not as pure as they used to be, it can be called a city of sin.

But I actually felt the truth in this sin, as if I believed in my heart that this was the true face of human beings.

Is it that deep down in my heart I believe that dirtiness, filthiness, greed, and deceit are real?...

No, I, Chen Shijian, am definitely not such a person.

I took a deep breath and had to admit that on this land, my breathing began to smoothen out.

The feeling that had been weighing on my heart for a long time disappeared.

Why?

Could it be that the heavy responsibility of heaven, my father's expectations, and my family's expectations have overwhelmed me?

Or am I starting to degenerate?

Irritable....

I didn't answer the driver's question. He seemed to see my irritability, and the second half of the ride became much quieter.

Thanks to the driver's observation and the quiet environment, I calmed down.

Otherwise, I really might not be able to help but kill him on the spot to vent my anger.

Looking at this city glowing with black and red, I breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the car.

I silently repeated in my heart what my father once said, that I should experience the earth beneath my feet and the sky above my head from an ordinary person's perspective.

Whether it is good or bad, take a closer look at it.

Pa Chi~

Just then, I felt a sticky feeling under my feet.

The stench was overwhelming, and when I looked down, I saw that my left foot was stepping on a pile of feces.
