Chapter 287 The Underworld in the Human World! [Update !]

This little kid seemed extremely stubborn before, with a determined look in his eyes, and he seemed determined to die rather than surrender.

He is obviously not a ghost of this era, and his use of the current human language is quite awkward.

But I didn't expect that when I was begging for mercy, my language suddenly became so fluent.

Even the tone of voice became sincere and full of respect.

"..."

Lin Lei held up the Hades Whip and saw the little ghost kneeling down and begging for mercy. He was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should continue to whip him...

He tilted his head and looked at Lin Yan with a questioning look.

Lin Yan frowned slightly and looked at it carefully.

The little white ape couldn't help but stick his head out and said in a low voice, "How come your iron bones suddenly became soft?"

The little ghost did not respond, but just looked up at Lin Lei, his eyes fixed on the decree, full of fear.

The decree of the soul catcher of Hades!

After so many years, has the underworld's style of handling cases become so tough?
Without any trial or questioning, just beat him to death?
"Do you recognize this decree?"

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, further confirming that this was not an ordinary ghost.

There are many kinds of evil spirits in the world, and ghosts and spirits left after a person dies are actually also included in the category of evil spirits.

But in this era, very few people become ghosts after death.

Because of the evil spirits in the strange night, they feed on humans, eating flesh and devouring souls, and thus growing stronger.

The most ghosts and spirits Lin Yan had seen were in the underworld.

In ancient myths and legends, the destination of all living beings after death.

He was not surprised to see ghosts and goblins in this forbidden area.

But this little ghost recognized the laws of the underworld, which gave him many guesses in his mind.

"This little devil is extraordinary, arrest him first!"

Lin Yan turned his head and said this.

Hearing this, Lin Lei nodded slightly.

This kid doesn't look very strong, but his speed is unprecedented and incredible. He will definitely be of great use in the future.

Then Lin Lei was seen holding the decree and chanting a spell.

This is the soul-controlling method in the Soul-Binding Record. With the jade decree as the foundation, it can capture ghosts and spirits, drive them around, and use them for your own purposes.

According to the ancient books mentioned by Mr. Lu, it is said that the soul catcher of the underworld can travel between the Yin and Yang worlds and is responsible for capturing evil spirits.

However, one person cannot control the area under his own power and cannot manage everything. Therefore, the underworld allows the Soul Catcher to have positions for hundreds of ghosts to command.

But these hundred ghosts are not on the list of the underworld, and the soul catcher needs to go to various places to subdue them.

It is equivalent to the flag-bearer of the Tianshi Division, who can recruit twelve human warriors as his flag bearers.

However, the Tianjian Division usually does not directly give out the twelve small flags. Most of the time, the flag bearers from various places select the personnel themselves.

These small flags are not official members of the Tianjiansi and will not be registered.

In fact, these two methods have the same purpose.

It’s just like Gaoliu Inner City, just like the opera story about Li Shenzong, where an order was issued from above to appoint him as a general, but he was not given any soldiers, so he had to recruit soldiers on his own!
"Certainly!"

As Lin Lei recited the soul-controlling method recorded in the Soul-Binding Record.

A ray of light emerged from the jade decree and landed on the little ghost's forehead.

But the little ghost was not surprised but happy.

Lin Lei took advantage of the situation and removed the chains.

The little ghost immediately knelt down and said excitedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Soul-Binding Envoy, for promoting me. I never thought that I would be promoted one day. It's really the kindness of my ancestors..."

"Promotion?"

Lin Yan was stunned.

Lin Lei was also a little confused.

The little white ape was even more confused.

But Lin Lei sensed it and realized that the little ghost was completely controlled by him.

He looked a little strange.

Based on his and Mr. Lu's understanding of the Soul-Binding Record.

It is not easy to control ghosts.

It is just like taming a vicious wolf and turning it into a hunting dog by your side, which is not easy at all.

But from the very beginning, this little devil didn't show any intention of resisting.

Instead, he seemed quite happy and cheerful, and accepted the mark of the Soul Controlling Technique happily.

Although he was hesitant, Lin Lei still did not forget the main business and said in a deep voice: "Tell me everything you know about this forbidden area. Don't hide anything."

"Ah? What forbidden area?"

The little ghost scratched his head, very confused.

Somehow, after being marked by the Soul Controlling Technique, he seemed to be more clear-headed and his speech became extremely fluent.

Just mentioning the forbidden area, he seemed confused.

"..."

Lin Yan's face darkened slightly.

And Lin Lei had already grasped the prison whip.

The little ghost kowtowed and said, "Master, please spare my life. I really don't know what the forbidden area is..."

Lin Yan asked: "Then where is this?"

The kid quickly responded, "This is the Express News Department."

The little white ape was annoyed and said angrily: "We are not illiterate. Who can't see the three big words above? Aren't you talking nonsense?" "..."

The little ghost thought about it and seemed to understand something, and said quickly: "Oh, the forbidden area you are talking about is our territory? Isn't this our Hades' territory in the human world..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but look up at Lin Lei.

I was completely confused for a moment.

The soul catchers from the underworld have all arrived here.

Even promoted himself.

Why do you seem to know nothing about this place?
"Tell us everything here."

Lin Lei said this and asked, "What's going on with this piece of land?"

The little ghost vaguely understood that the soul catcher of the underworld really seemed to be unaware that this was their own territory.

So the fight just now was like a flood that flushed the Dragon King Temple!
Thinking this, He told everything He knew about the whole story.

……

Many years ago, this little ghost was also a human being, living in an ancient blessed land.

When He was six years old, the temple worshipped by all the people in the blessed land suddenly collapsed.

The human leaders in the blessed land selected a group of skilled craftsmen to rebuild the temple.

His grandfather and grandmother worked day and night and died of exhaustion.

Finally, the temple was built, and his father, because of the death of his grandparents, was favored by the blessed land, so he was able to practice martial arts and obtain resources for cultivation.

But when he was eight years old, his father fled home covered in blood and killed his mother with a knife.

Finally, he stuffed a piece of raw meat into his mouth.

Then his father committed suicide.

The temple guardians of the blessed land chased him to his home and wanted to arrest him.

He was very scared and kept running for his life, rushing left and right, and finally escaped from the blessed land.

He kept running wildly in the dark.

An eight-year-old child ran here.

“After I came here, I met someone.”

The little ghost said quickly: "He said I was amazing, an eight-year-old child, running in the dark, and even monsters and evil spirits couldn't catch up with me."

"At the end of the race, even the body couldn't keep up with the soul. It was already rotten and died on the way, but the soul was able to run here!"

"He said that I was dead, but my soul was immortal, so I came here in the dark."

The kid was a little confused when he said this: "Later, he took me to a pool of blood and pressed me in it..."

He scratched his head and said, "When I come out again, I will become like this. He said... From now on, I will be a speeding ghost, responsible for transmitting information from all parties and reporting to the underworld."

After hearing these words, Lin Yan and the other two were all silent.

Lin Lei whispered: "That piece of raw meat may contain divine power."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "The divine power acts on the soul, so even if the body dies, the soul will not dissipate and can even escape quickly in the dark..."

Is this the reason why the little ghost in front of him, who is not of high rank and has not achieved deep cultivation, is so terrifyingly fast?

After a moment of silence, Lin Lei continued to ask: "What else did that person say later?"

"He said I am no longer a ghost, nor an evil spirit, but a ghost from the underworld."

The swift ghost seemed a little proud and said, "He said this is the boundary between Yin and Yang, the underworld's territory in the human world!"

"I became a messenger here, that is, a messenger under the command of the underworld. I am a yin messenger, and I am also considered a ghost."

"He said that he had assigned me to the Express News Department and asked me to guard the door of the Express News Department."

"He also said that in the future this place will be under the control of Hades again. When that time comes, I will be able to be promoted."

"Also, the head of the Express Report Department has already passed away. As long as I manage the Express Report Department well and report to the Underworld in the future, I will be qualified to become the new head of the Express Report Department."

Having said that, the Speedy Ghost looked at Lin Lei, his eyes full of anticipation.

Just now, the Soul Catcher was willing to promote himself before he knew that this was the territory of the Underworld.

Now that I know the truth, won’t I become the new chief of the Express News Department soon?

"..."

Lin Yan and Lin Lei looked at each other and roughly understood what was going on.

This forbidden place is the territory of the underworld in the human world!

Therefore, even if the mysterious person holds extremely high authority in this forbidden area, he cannot appoint the new chief of the Express Reporting Department without the permission of the Underworld?

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party is just perfunctorily appeasing this inexperienced kid and casually made a big promise.

"Did you see that man again later?" Lin Yan asked.

“I haven’t seen him.” The Speeding Ghost shook his head and said, “After that, I have been guarding the gate. I don’t know how long it has been, but it must have been a long time, but not long ago… Then there was a very fierce evil ghost who claimed to be the Wu Judge of the Yin-Yang Department of the Grand Hall. He often ordered me to deliver letters.”

"Not long ago?" Lin Yan frowned.

"I don't know how long it has been." The Speeding Ghost said in confusion, "By the way, after Judge Wu came, people kept breaking in from outside. More than 20 groups of people came in during this short period of time..."

"A short time?"

The little white ape exclaimed, "More than twenty groups of people, this is fucking, sixty years ago? You call this not long ago?"

Lin Yan casually pressed down the little white ape.

He had already concluded in his heart that this speeding ghost lived in a very long time ago.

In this Express News Agency, I am guarding the gate, unaware of the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the change of time.

Compared with the long and boring time before, these sixty years are indeed not that long!
"Who else came in before our group came in?" Lin Yan changed the way he asked the question.

"Yes..." the ghost said hurriedly, "There was an old man who was disabled all over. He said he wanted to be an official... Judge Wu went to pick him up in person!"
