Lin Ge followed behind Cani, descending the spiral staircase, and the lower they went, the colder the air became.
At every unchanging turn, gusts of cold wind surged upward, mixed with intermittent, faint screams.
Lanya, who wasn't that afraid at the beginning, now clung closer, gripping his sleeve tightly, stumbling several times, and bumping her forehead against Lin Ge's shoulder.
"Who is detained in the prison below?" Lin Ge suddenly asked.
"Obviously those who have done wrong," Cani answered. "Humans not only err while alive, but even after death as ghosts, they still make mistakes. Of course, erring is not exclusive to humans; demons sometimes do as well, so the imprisoned here include both ghosts and a small number of demons."
Lin Ge nodded, understanding that even the underworld had its rules.
"Who is responsible for the captures?"
"Under Lord Elvie, there is a troop of Headless Knights responsible for patrolling and maintaining order within the territory."
