In the Yan Wang Hall.
Lou Yangzi walked through the sea of memories for an unknown amount of time, having forgotten the concept of time.
In reality, only a few minutes had passed.
At first, when the King of Hell raised Lou Yangzi into the air, Jiang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly nervous.
The hall was incredibly quiet, and he dared not speak casually.
He then looked at the King of the Southern Hall, who was still diligently polishing the great sword in his hand.
It was as if nothing else in the surroundings was more interesting than the sword in his hand.
Time ticked by, drop by drop.
Suddenly, the King of Hell moved.
She withdrew her hand, her expression not looking very good.
After Lou Yangzi was released, he didn’t react for a moment and almost fell to the ground.
After falling, he stumbled a couple of steps before steadying himself.
Looking at the strange yet familiar hall before him, solemn and majestic.
The aura emanating from the two Kings of Hell, which made one dare not look directly at them…
After a few seconds of blankness, Lou Yangzi’s eyes regained focus.
He remembered where he was.
Looking back, he indeed saw Brother Jiang.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter when, having a familiar person around was always good.
But then, he remembered the memories he had just recalled.
His fists at his sides clenched involuntarily.
Lou Xiaoxiao!
“He’s really got something…”
Yan Luo sat down in her chief exclusive seat, looking at Lou Yangzi with leisure.
And… the shadow beneath him.
That shadow was not just contract information, but also contained the power left by Lou Xiaoxiao.
Those forbidden lords summoned by humans were not Lou Yangzi at all.
But Lou Xiaoxiao.
He never expected it, never expected it.
This guy in front of him was not only a ghost from that era but also a key figure of the Lou family.
Back then,
The surprise attack on Bai Di City had indeed caught the Underworld off guard.
There were also losses.
It had a considerable impact on the Underworld.
Later, some of the Lou family’s techniques were listed as forbidden arts.
The Underworld also formulated a series of follow-up plans to crack down on human techniques and regain control.
“Those forbidden arts are indeed powerful, but to think that those forbidden arts alone could replace the Underworld is too naive.”
Yan Luo let out a snort, her gaze fell on Jiang Lin, and her tone was relatively calm:
“I understand this matter. You don’t need to worry about the rest. You may go.”
Jiang Lin paused and asked, “Your Majesty Yan Wang, what about Lou Yangzi…?”
“He won’t die.”
Yan Luo’s light words made Lou Yangzi immediately feel as if he were facing a great enemy.
He won’t die… there are plenty of ways in this world to wish one were dead.
However, Lou Yangzi sighed inwardly.
Considering the Lou family’s actions against the Underworld, it was understandable for this King of Hell to be angry.
“Yes.”
Jiang Lin glanced at Lou Yangzi, letting him fend for himself.
Then he cupped his hands and retreated.
Judging by the King of Hell’s demeanor, she probably wouldn’t impose a severe punishment.
It was just that he wouldn’t be privy to what happened next.
…
“Lou Yangzi is from the Ghost Taming era, and Your Majesty Yan Wang also mentioned replacing the Underworld… It seems that what Lou Yangzi recalled this time is very important…”
After leaving the Yan Wang Hall,
Jiang Lin pondered as he returned to the human world through the Underworld passage.
He recalled the live stream orb.
After the major earthquake, the human world was still in the midst of a large-scale rescue.
Ghost marshals from various departments were shuttling through the sky and underground of the disaster areas.
Jiang Lin watched for a while, then returned to the previous area to continue today’s live stream of guiding departed souls.
“Finally, the streamer is back!”
“Ever since I started watching this live stream, my heart has been repeatedly stabbed. Alas—”
“Lord Ghost Marshal, what is the situation at Heshan Primary School?”
“Has anyone escaped from Lanwan Residential Area?”
As soon as Jiang Lin appeared, the bullet comments in the live stream surged.
After more than half a day of broadcasting, the viewership of the live stream was several times higher than before.
More and more people, through various relatives, friends, classmates, and colleagues…
Learned about the live stream, especially those whose families lived in the disaster areas.
Because they were worried about their families, they couldn’t sleep.
They were busy inquiring about news, buying supplies, and looking for channels everywhere.
They were frantic.
At this moment, upon hearing about the Underworld live stream, they all rushed to watch, regardless of whether they had time.
Hoping to get some news about their families.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Aftershocks in most areas of the human world had completely stopped.
Only the disaster areas were still busy.
However, volunteers, supplies, and donations from the outside world were also continuously being sent to the disaster areas.
Many of these volunteers were viewers from the live stream.
It wasn’t that they were competing with the streamer for people… saving one person was saving one person.
Compared to the human world, the ghost marshals in the Underworld had passed their busiest period.
In the first day or two, departed souls were received in batches.
Now, the density of departed souls was not as high.
At the same time,
Regarding the matter of forbidden arts, the staff from the mission center specifically went to the Eighteenth Hall to inform Reward.
After the investigation by Your Majesty Yan Wang, it had come to an end.
As for the suicidal girl who summoned the ‘Forbidden Lord,’ she actually possessed Yin-Yang eyes.
Due to her extremely Yin constitution, she was often haunted by ghosts.
The forbidden art blueprints she obtained came from an ancestor in her family.
She had heard about the Ghost Taming era in her grandfather’s diary. After searching, she found out it was true.
After experiencing various encounters, her mentality underwent a certain change.
“Ghost Taming era… forbidden arts are truly terrifying.”
Jiang Lin sighed.
“Indeed. In the future, there might be forgotten forbidden arts discovered by later generations. Who knows when we can truly clear them all.”
The staff from the mission center agreed.
In their years working at the mission center, they had handled several incidents related to forbidden arts.
Each time, it caused great alarm among the ghosts.
“The quick resolution this time is thanks to Jiang Wuchang. This matter will definitely be recorded in your performance record.” The staff member said sincerely.
At the level of a captain, ordinary mission rewards were no longer useful.
Performance points were more practical.
In the Underworld, performance points could be exchanged for many things that money couldn’t buy.
Such as high-grade materials, ghost artifacts, large houses, status…
And ‘opportunities.’
After chatting about work-related matters for a while, the staff member left.
…
Jiang Lin sat in the Eighteenth Hall, tapping his fingers on the table in front of him.
Although the forbidden arts incident had temporarily come to an end, Lou Yangzi had not yet been released.
However, since Your Majesty Yan Wang had said so, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
After clarifying his thoughts, Jiang Lin closed his eyes and rested for a moment.
Then he took out the drifting bottle.
“I’ll do some missions first and try to restore my eyes.”
The cleaning ghost, who was leaning towards Jiang Lin, was startled by his sudden movement.
It zipped to a nearby pillar with a whoosh.
Then it hugged the pillar and began to eat with a crunch.
Eating was important.
…
“System prompt: Becoming an excellent first-class ghost marshal, current mission progress: 96%.”
