Zhang Hao said nothing more, pointed at the ghost next to him, and asked, "Can you send him to reincarnation?"

Bai Wuchang took a closer look and then shook his head.

"He no longer has the spiritual energy required to enter reincarnation. His ultimate fate is to slowly dissipate until he disappears."

"There must be a way. He hasn't dissipated yet, which means there is still hope. I once forcibly pieced together a shattered soul and sent it into the reincarnation path just before it dissipated. In the end, that person was born safely. Why can't it work here?"

The two looked at each other, totally confused as to what was going on.

"What is the path of reincarnation? Are you talking about reincarnation? That's not the path of reincarnation. Where did you come from?"

As they spoke, their expressions turned serious and they looked at Zhang Hao as if they regarded him as some dangerous person.

Zhang Hao was helpless and could only turn around and say to the ghost: "Hide in this jade pendant first, I will find a way to send you over."

Zhang Hao held the jade pendant in his hand, and the ghost went in without thinking much.

The moment he entered the jade pendant, Zhang Hao turned around and confronted the Black and White Impermanence.

"Take me away, I have something to tell you."

The Black and White Impermanence looked at each other, nodded to each other, then took out handcuffs from their pockets and wanted to put them on Zhang Hao, as if they were worried that Zhang Hao would do something dangerous.

However, Zhang Hao's body didn't seem to accept it at all. As soon as the shackles touched him, they bounced off.

The Black and White Impermanence's hands were also injured. They took several steps back and stared at Zhang Hao with surprise on their faces.

"Who are you? How can you possess such a powerful force?!"

Zhang Hao had expected this result and sneered.

"How about you try again?"

The two men didn't dare to try, and respectfully transformed a light gate.

"Please come in, sir. No matter who you are, please go and see our lord first."

Zhang Hao followed him without any worries. Judging from the level of the Black and White Impermanence, they couldn't do anything to him. Even their immediate superiors were only slightly stronger than him at best, and it was very likely that they were even weaker than him, so there was no need to be afraid.

In just a few seconds, Zhang Hao arrived at the so-called "hell". However, what he saw made him feel confused.

The dark and antique loft he had originally imagined did not appear. Instead, it was replaced by a bright and modern office scene.

In front of where he was standing, there stood a huge public security sign. People coming and going were all wearing police uniforms. Even the Black and White Impermanence automatically changed their attire into police uniforms when they arrived here.

"No, what are you guys singing..." Zhang Hao looked surprised.

"What's the matter? Although our office environment is not so 'high-end', it is well organized." Bai Wuchang thought Zhang Hao had an opinion on this, so he looked around and explained to him, "Or do you have any other ideas?"

"I don't have any idea, but this place is too different from my impression of the place... Looking at it here..." Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment.

"You don't think that our place is like in the TV dramas, with everything gloomy and spooky? You really can't keep up with the times!" Bai Wuchang teased.

Even though Zhang Hao was criticized, he was speechless. After all, that was what he seemed to think.

During the conversation, Zhang Hao finally understood that the so-called underworld has now been changed into a household registration office, and its full name is "Xiawang Household Registration Office."

Zhang Hao had never heard of the term "underworld" before, but he guessed that it probably referred to the network in the underworld, which was responsible for managing all the deceased.

Afterwards, Zhang Hao was taken to the director's office of the management office.

Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man in his forties with thinning hair. He was wearing a blue uniform and was yelling into the phone.

"I don't care what problems you have! If the ghosts below run away, we have to catch them! If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was equally angry, and Zhang Hao could hear it clearly even though he was standing at the door.

"We have several TV stations coming to interview us. If you guys are filmed while catching ghosts, how are we going to explain this to our school? Every time you catch ghosts, it's like you're performing a shaman dance. It's creepy to watch!"

The two of them argued back and forth on the phone, and finally the other party gave in and agreed to let the Household Registration Office go to arrest them at night, but they must not alert the students and must go in plain clothes.

The director hung up the phone, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Then he looked at Zhang Hao with a smile on his face.

"Hello, what are you doing here? Since you have been brought here, you must know that this is not an ordinary household registration office, right?"

As he spoke, the director glanced at Bai Wuchang again, the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Bai Wuchang explained helplessly: "This person said that he wanted to send a soul that had been wandering for hundreds of years into reincarnation... The merits and demerits of that soul are too complicated. Even if we want to sort it out, it will take a lot of time, but he is unwilling to wait."

"His merits and demerits offset each other, so there's no need to make such a fuss. Besides, he hasn't really harmed anyone. I think we can let him enter the reincarnation cycle." Zhang Hao took over the conversation.

As soon as Zhang Hao said this, the director's eyes changed slightly when he looked at him.

The director felt that this person seemed to be quite familiar with the situation here.

"Before I answer your question, I would like to ask where you come from. To be honest, we don't usually have ordinary people coming here, but you give me the feeling that you have a very strong power."

Reaching the top of the world, does this count as having great power?

Zhang Hao didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only say vaguely: "I am a Taoist practitioner."

Such a simple explanation sounded like a lie, but the director did not say much and simply agreed with the statement.

"Okay then, take out that soul and let me see it."

When Zhang Hao handed over his jade pendant, he belatedly asked, "Wait a minute, are you equivalent to the King of Hell?"

Hearing this, the director smiled gently, and Bai Wuchang shook his head helplessly.

"My little brother, you didn't realize it just now, did you?"

Zhang Hao's eyes widened in disbelief. He really didn't react. If this household registration office was really the underworld, then this person must be the King of Hell. The King of Hell, who was so mysterious and dared not be provoked in myths and movies, suddenly became the director of the household registration office. It was unbelievable.

The director looked at the jade pendant for a while and then returned it to Zhang Hao.

"We can allow him to enter reincarnation, but he must first be tempered in the three levels of hell for a hundred years. Otherwise, he will become a wandering ghost and slowly dissipate, or be captured by us and forced to serve."

"Why? He clearly hasn't harmed anyone." Zhang Hao asked puzzled.

"Do you know why generals or ministers in ancient times often did not have a good end? Even if they devoted themselves to the country and the people?" the director asked.

"Why?" Zhang Hao looked confused.

"Because they are responsible for too many sins and killings. Perhaps you think that their merits and demerits offset each other, but in my opinion, the mistakes they have made can never be erased. If you don't agree, then we can only force him to serve in the army. In this way, this matter will have nothing to do with you, and you don't have to feel guilty." The director explained.

Zhang Hao looked helpless. He raised his hand and scratched his brow, then asked the person in the jade pendant.

"What do you think of this proposal? It will take a full hundred years."

The other party's soft and gentle voice came from the jade pendant.

"I'm willing to go. Just send me there. I have no objection."

Since the other party said so, Zhang Hao didn't intend to bother to fight for better conditions and directly handed the jade pendant to Bai Wuchang.

"You guys handle it. My mission is complete. I'm leaving now."

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was blocked.

Standing in front of him was a black paper man. It opened its arms and blocked Zhang Hao tightly, not letting him leave. Zhang Hao looked back and saw the director holding out his hand, and the paper man was swaying left and right with the director's hand movements.

"What does this mean? Do I have to pay a price too?" Zhang Hao looked confused.

"No, no, I'm really short of staff recently. I think you and I are destined to be together, so why don't you come and work for me for two months? Don't worry, the salary you get from working here is at the level of a regular civil servant. I will even pay for your five insurances and one fund in the first month!" said the director with a smile on his face.

This condition does sound very tempting, but Zhang Hao no longer wants to work for the underworld. Before, he and Han San had paid a painful price for this, and Yan Jun had deceived him for a long time, and in the end he almost lost his precious friend.

"No." Zhang Hao refused flatly.

"How about this, you make a condition, and as long as the condition is right, I will agree to it." The director still did not give up.

Looking at the smile on the director's face, Zhang Hao suddenly realized something. He turned around and said, "You don't really want me to work here, do you? You just want to keep an eye on me, right? Do you think I'm a dangerous person?"

The director just smiled and said nothing, but that smile said it all. He really thought Zhang Hao was a dangerous person.

Zhang Hao can touch matters of life and death, which is a realm that most normal people cannot touch. In addition, the director has already felt the powerful power in Zhang Hao. If a person like him were to wander in the world and have a slightly wrong mind, he would likely bring great disaster to the world. Therefore, the director wanted Zhang Hao to work in the Household Registration Office, firstly so that he could keep an eye on him, and secondly because Zhang Hao has such a powerful power, maybe it would come in handy in the future.

Zhang Hao knew all the director's plans, but he couldn't refute them.

He looked at the jade pendant in the director's hand, and his heart was actually a little shaken.

He suddenly developed a strong interest in the order of life and death in this world. After all, when he was a normal person before, he had never come into contact with these things. Now that he is back, he finds that this place is completely different from what he remembered.

Moreover, Zhang Hao felt that if he did not agree, he would not be able to rest easy in the future. He was afraid that he would be monitored by the other party all the time, so it would be better to agree directly and have peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao agreed.

"I have another friend who also has some skills. Can he come along?" Zhang Hao asked.

"That's great. You go back today, and we'll send the contract to you once we've drafted it." The director agreed readily.

When he came out, the Black and White Impermanence came out personally to see him off.

"We will be colleagues from now on. When I first met you, I didn't expect you to be so capable." Hei Wuchang said.

Bai Wuchang also followed up and said, "Yes, you said you were practicing Taoism, but I don't believe it. Who did you learn from?"

Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. If he said that he learned from the system, they would probably think he was a lunatic, right?
"I was drawn to another world, learned some skills there and then came back." Zhang Hao had to speak vaguely.

After hearing Zhang Hao's answer, the Black and White Impermanence fell silent at the same time, and there was even a hint of speechlessness in the way they looked at him.

Zhang Hao smiled, patted them both on the shoulders, then turned and left.

After returning home, Zhang Hao told Han Shan all these things. After hearing this, Han Shan looked a little heavy.

"I don't want you to get involved in those things again..." Han San said.

Zhang Hao knew that it must be the incident with Yan Jun that left a shadow on Han Shan, causing him to be unwilling to trust these people now.

"We are idle anyway, and I will be monitored in the future. Instead of being secretly monitored, we might as well take the initiative and fight. We might be able to gain some freedom. You should understand that we can't escape life and death... Matters related to life and death will always linger around us. Instead of struggling and resisting, it is better to accept it with peace of mind. What's more, we can still get a salary and go out to play during official business opportunities. Isn't that good?"

After Zhang Hao's persuasion, Han Shan finally agreed.

That night, when Zhang Hao was sleeping, the window was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and then gusts of cool air blew in his face.

Zhang Hao subconsciously opened his eyes and stared at the window sharply.

I saw a small black paper man being blown over by the wind, holding an envelope bigger than its body in its hand. After putting it on the windowsill, it bowed respectfully to Zhang Hao, and then was blown away by the wind.

Zhang Hao walked to the window sill, picked up the envelope and took a look. On the black envelope were a few large gold-plated characters - Admission Notice from the Household Registration Office.

This should be the employment invitation from the Household Registration Office.

Zhang Hao walked out of the room with the envelope and happened to see Han Shan also walking out, with an envelope in his hand.

"Have you also received the admission notice?" Zhang Hao asked.

Han San raised the envelope in his hand and asked in confusion: "What is going on? What household registration office?"

When he went to the Household Registration Office, Han Shan did not go with him, so he did not know what happened to Zhang Hao. (End of this chapter)
