I logged into Mr. Zombie

Although the two of them were running as fast as they could, they didn't expect that they would be caught up by the group of zombies in the blink of an eye.

"Ok?"

Things didn't turn out exactly as they had imagined.

Instead of attacking them, the zombie family hopped and skipped away alongside them.

Because the zombie family had plenty of speed and could escape much faster than the two of them, they overtook them in the blink of an eye and left them far behind.

Only one little zombie was still bouncing around, making "ouch" noises. When the young adult zombie noticed it, it turned around, tucked the little zombie under its arm, and quickly left.

As they ran, Afang and Wangcai slowed down and began to pant, supporting their knees.

"Huff, huff~" A-Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the zombie family that was almost invisible.

"Why aren't they chasing us?" Wangcai was still a little unaccustomed to this; it was completely different from the zombies he knew.

"Could it be that someone is killing zombies from behind?" A-Fang's mind worked even faster.

Turns out we're kindred spirits! X2
The two of them were finally relieved.

However, when they turned around in unison, they did not see a heroic figure wearing a yellow Taoist robe and carrying a peach wood sword. Instead, they saw a zombie wearing a Qing Dynasty official robe, with its arms outstretched and its blood-red mouth wide open, leaping towards them.

"Anything else?" X2
The two of them turned and ran.

"Ouch!" A-Fang was the first to fall to the ground.

Next up is Wangcai, whose right foot tripped over a tree branch.

The two fell to the ground, resigning themselves to their fate.

The expected injury and death did not come. Instead, the footsteps brushed past their heads, thumping again and again, growing farther and farther away.

"Hmm?" The two looked up and looked at each other again.

All I could see in their eyes was confusion.

Zombies are chasing other zombies.

Curiosity overcame their fear, and they got up and chased after the zombie in the direction it had gone.

Because the zombies were as heavy as iron, they would create large craters when they jumped and landed, so the two of them caught up with them very easily.

What they saw next left them speechless.

The zombie that had been chasing them grabbed the slowest-running old zombie with its claws and bit its neck.

A wave of corpse stench surged through the air, filling it with a foul smell.

Afang and Wangcai could clearly see the black energy being drawn away from the old zombie and swallowed down its throat.

Startled, the two quickly found a dead tree to hide under, covered their mouths, and watched in fear what was happening in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, the old zombie was sucked into a black, dried-up corpse. As the strange zombie threw it to the ground, the dried-up corpse instantly turned to ashes and disappeared without a trace.

After absorbing the old zombie, the eccentric zombie's speed increased significantly. It pushed off the ground with its feet and grabbed another zombie in an almost flying motion.

One after another.

The invulnerable zombies were captured as easily as paper dolls, and their arms were even dismantled.

The entire zombie family was completely drained.

"Oh my god, zombies eating zombies!" Wangcai exclaimed in horror, looking at Afang beside him. Afang shook his head vigorously, he had never even heard of it!

After satiating itself, the zombie turned around and faced the location where the two were hiding.

"Its eyes seem to be able to see."

If the eyes can see, it means the other party is quite powerful. Most zombies rely on their noses to sense the scent of living people. Only zombie kings like Xuan Kui have evolved to be indistinguishable from ordinary people.

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know if begging for mercy will do any good."

"Roar!" the zombie roared at the two of them.

"Hey, don't be so arrogant!" Knowing he couldn't hide anymore, Wangcai stood up and threw a punch, baring his teeth as he said, "Even the legendary Zombie King Xuan Kui fell to me. As for little zombies like you, I'll take you down one by one, and kill a whole bunch of them if they come!"

A-Fang cautiously asked from the side, "Wangcai, won't what you said anger him?"

“I thought he was smart enough, so I explained the pros and cons to him,” Wangcai said in a low voice. “What if it works?”

"So you weren't sure yourself!"

"Roar."

The zombie actually turned around and hopped away into the distance.

"Does it really work?" x2
After returning to Tanjia Town, the two told the story as a joke, and no one else took it seriously.

How could there possibly be zombies eating each other in this world? It's obviously just an excuse that the two of them made up to slack off.

……

Time flows on.

Tan Wenjie has already set a good start, and everything is on track. He doesn't need to interfere much anymore; everything will develop in the predicted direction.

In the stillness of the night, the red lanterns that had been hanging in front of the rooms of the ladies of the Tan family for several days were finally taken down.

The head maids also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from those agonizing days.

At the same time, it refreshed my understanding of my own husband once again.

The master is really fierce!

Some of the maids were confused. How come they remembered that they only served one lady? But why did they hear so many voices these past few nights?

I dared not ask, nor dared to guess, so I simply pretended to be deaf and mute.

"Sir, a guest is already waiting for you in the study."

When Tan Wenjie arrived at the study, he saw a man in a suit.

"Zhao Li?"

He remembered the group of ghost messengers who came to help him. Among them, Zhao Li discovered Yang Feiyun and was very thoughtful in his actions. Many people had mentioned his name.

“Master Tan.” Zhao Li quickly stood up.

The person before him was a renowned powerhouse in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Zhao Li had traveled between the Yin and Yang realms and had heard of Tan Wenjie's name countless times. Even the newly awakened King of the Underworld praised him highly.

"I'll need your continued attention in the future." Tan Wenjie gestured for the other person to sit down, then asked, "You came to see me this time because..."

"There are indeed some things I'd like to discuss with you," Zhao Li nodded.

Dissatisfied with salary?

"No."

"Candles don't taste good?"

"Not at all."

Seeing that Tan Wenjie seemed determined not to give up until he figured it out, Zhao Li quickly said, "It's Lord Hades. He wants to meet with you."

"Don't go."

Tan Wenjie shook his head.

He had never seen any so-called gods or immortals in this world; the magical powers of those gods were nothing more than things he had obtained by inviting them.

Now that a King of the Underworld has suddenly appeared, unless he's out of his mind, he would never willingly offer himself up unless the other party offers him something in return.

"Pluto just happens to want to implement reforms."

"Pluto is really into the trends."

“Yes, Hades knows that you have great magical power and a very high reputation in both the human and ghost realms, so he wants to work with you to promote this matter,” Zhao Li said. “You want to create a force in the mortal world to maintain order and eliminate evil spirits. It just so happens that Hades wants to reorganize the profession of ghost messengers in the underworld. After seeing your recent action plan, he was amazed and believes that the reform of the underworld absolutely cannot be without you.”

“I agree with that.” Tan Wenjie accepted the praise without hesitation.

Zhao Li blinked.

Tan Wenjie also blinked.

Both sides remained silent.

"Ahem." Zhao Li cleared his throat. "I remember now, Lord Hades also said that a powerful person like you must have no shortage of magical treasures and spiritual fruits, so he asked me to bring a zither."

Tan Wenjie: "Forget about the zither, let's switch to magic weapons and spiritual fruits instead."

Zhao Li: "..."

He admitted that he was no match for Tam Man-kit when it came to shamelessness.

"I will definitely deliver it to you later," Zhao Li said hurriedly.

Tan Wenjie: "Leaving now?"

Zhao Li was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "This way, please."

Too decisive and resolute.

Tan Wenjie had been to the underworld countless times. Although Zhao Li was supposed to lead the way, Tan Wenjie was actually half a step ahead, while Zhao Li followed behind with the utmost respect, acting like a subordinate meeting a superior. "Where is this?" Tan Wenjie looked at the newly built house next to the Bridge of Helplessness, slightly puzzled.

"This is Meng Po's residence."

"Meng Po?"

After nodding slightly, Tan Wenjie continued walking inside.

If Chu Renmei hadn't had a new job, he felt that Aunt Mei would be more suitable for the job of Meng Po.

Along the way, the ghost soldiers and messengers bowed their heads and greeted Tan Wenjie.

Unlike the Hades King whom they had never met, the man before them was a great figure who had saved the three realms from crisis time and time again, possessing unparalleled strength.

If it weren't for my duty, a ghost would already be asking for my autograph.

Passing through the underworld and reaching its depths, Tan Wenjie met the so-called King of the Underworld, who was wearing a mask and lounging lazily in a chair.

Upon seeing Tan Wenjie, the man sat up abruptly, but quickly softened his posture.

"Pluto?" Tan Wenjie looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You can call me Acha."

Hades stood up, removed his mask, and revealed a handsome face.

Coincidentally, Tan Wenjie found this face somewhat familiar; it seemed to belong to a certain "actress."

Another lookalike.

"I'll take my leave now," Zhao Li said, turning to back.

"Wait!" X2
Tan Wenjie and Hades Acha spoke in unison.

Zhao Li: "?"

He was just a lowly underling, and suddenly receiving such attention from two big shots made him feel a little uncomfortable.

“There’s no way I can hide this from you,” said Hades Acha. “Besides, I need you to do some chores for me.”

Zhao Li immediately said with gratitude, "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Hades!"

However, there wasn't much genuine emotion expressed in it.

Hades Acha, however, seemed completely oblivious. Instead, she raised an eyebrow at Tan Wenjie in a provocative manner, as if to say: See, this is the way to manage subordinates.

Tan Wenjie didn't understand where the other party's sudden hostility came from. He simply patted Zhao Li on the shoulder and said in a calm tone, "I think the next plan needs a person in charge. Zhao Li, you are the one I have the most faith in."

“My lord, you…” Zhao Li’s pupils swayed, and his face flushed slightly.

Hades Acha's face was rather unpleasant, and she muttered angrily, "How could I not have thought of that!"

However, Tan Wenjie felt no joy despite his victory in this contest. He glanced at Zhao Li a few more times, then asked Hades, "Who exactly are you?"

Zhao Li's apparent joy was clearly feigned.

Compared to collaborating with Hades, Tam Man-kit is more concerned about the other party's identity.

"You haven't heard of me?" Hades Acha asked, then before Tan Wenjie could answer, "Of course you haven't heard of me. A long, long time ago, the gods created humans, and I was the queen whom the gods commanded to manage the reincarnation of human souls. But I was too lonely living alone in the depths of the underworld, so I often fell into a deep sleep. I didn't know many things that happened outside. Now that the connection between the gods and humans has been completely severed, there is even less need for me to wake up. So you don't know me... You can call me Acha, or you can call me Your Majesty."

Tan Wenjie: "..."

She stood up, walked around Tan Wenjie, and stretched out her finger as if she wanted to touch him.

"It's unbelievable." She looked at Tan Wenjie. "How old are you? In such a short time, you've developed extraordinary abilities."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her closely again: "Why do you look less like a human and more like... a god?"

She herself was even frightened by the comments she had just received.

How could any human being possibly become a god who creates the world through cultivation? Those myths and legends are ultimately just stories and tales.

"That's right, I am a god."

"..." Hades Acha laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you really know how to joke. Gods are all born that way. You are clearly human, but the Book of Life and Death records about you are a bit vague. I'm afraid your past life was not simple either."

Neither of them considered dwelling on the issue of identity, and Tan Wenjie did not believe what Hades Acha said, just as there was a difference in their identities.

We're all gods, how could we open our hearts to each other on the first meeting? That doesn't fit our divine nature.

Hades changed the subject and said, "I admire your plans in the human world, but human education and inheritance are ultimately limited by time. After a few decades, people will need to be re-educated. Why not use this plan in the underworld? Ghost messengers can live for thousands of years, so it will definitely be easier to implement."

"of course can."

He nodded without even thinking. It was just a division of areas, with each area assigned a separate person in charge to carry out detailed management.

Tan Wenjie took a piece of paper, wrote down his plans in detail, handed it to Hades Acha, and then got up to take his leave.

"I'll see you out." Zhao Li followed with small, quick steps.

This is only their first encounter, and it is still difficult to tell whether they are enemies or friends.

The outcome should be good.

The two left Hades's residence together. When they reached the Bridge of Helplessness, Tan Wenjie asked, "Is there something you need?"

Do you know how to recover someone's memories?

"You mean someone has lost their memory?"

"Yes."

"Let me guess, that person might not be you..."

"Not me, not me."

Tan Wenjie continued, drawing out his words, "Could it be your friend?"

Zhao Li: "..."

Is it too late to admit that the person in question is actually yourself?

"Is there a way?" Zhao Li asked.

There are several types.

"Several kinds? So many?!"

“That’s right.” Tan Wenjie nodded, frowning as he walked forward. “It depends on how this person lost his memory. If he lost his memory because of a car accident, then he should be hit by a car again.”

"Wait, why would a car accident cause amnesia?" Zhao Li asked, puzzled. Then he shook his head and said, "He wasn't hit by a car. He didn't know who he was from the beginning. He only knew that he was a ghost messenger who had to work."

"I understand now. Do you think that you were actually a great person before you lost your memory, and you think this job is too boring, so you want to find that memory?"

"My friend."

"Oh right, is that what your friend thinks?"

"No, my friend just feels frustrated because he doesn't know anything."

Just when Zhao Li thought Tan Wenjie was going to ramble on and change the subject again, Tan Wenjie unexpectedly said directly, "The soul is incomplete."

"what?"

"You call yourself a ghost messenger? Don't you understand that if one's three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, one will become mentally impaired and even undergo a drastic change in temperament?"

“But I’m a ghost messenger, a ghost! How could I have an incomplete soul?” Zhao Li stared wide-eyed, thinking that Tan Wenjie might be making fun of him.

This time, Tan Wenjie didn't correct his mistake in addressing him, but nodded and said, "Ordinary people certainly have a distinction between corpse and soul, but when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, the body transcends the mundane, and the spirit and flesh ascend to a higher dimension of life..."

"Please put it simply, I don't quite understand."

“Gods, celestial beings, immortals,” Tan Wenjie gestured as he spoke. “They are all beings of higher dimensions. With the support of powerful magic, not only can their primordial spirit be reincarnated, but even a single hair on their body can be reborn. Haven’t you heard the story of Pangu creating the world?”

Not only was there a soulless body, but even a cell phone was successfully reincarnated by Tan Wenjie.

Zhao Li suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Then am I a soul or a body? And how can I find my other half?"

He got more and more into it, almost admitting it.

Instead of explaining the method, Tan Wenjie asked, "Didn't Hades tell you the method?"

"She did say that as long as I do things seriously, I will regain my memories, but that was a long time ago..." Zhao Li sighed.

The most painful thing is for a leader to make empty promises.

“Then let’s work for her.” Tan Wenjie clenched his fist and said, “Or you and I can work together from the inside and outside, do this and that to her, and finally take her place. Then you can have whatever you want.”

Zhao Li's eyes widened: "So evil? You must be joking."

"Of course I'm joking. Do you think I want to be locked up in the cold underworld like her and become a lunatic?" Tan Wenjie rolled his eyes. "I have a lot of female confidantes to appease. Since the leader has agreed to your request, you only have two choices now: either oust her and become the leader yourself, or accept your fate and do your job well. It may take a little longer, but you can still achieve your goal, right... I'm leaving."

Tan Wenjie's figure vanished in an instant, leaving Zhao Li standing on the Bridge of Helplessness, lost in thought.

"Should I follow the rules and hope for Hades's mercy, or should I fight back and force her to give me everything I want...? Which of these two is more noble?"

Based on his understanding of Hades Acha, he knew that if she had even a little confidence, she wouldn't have allowed Tan Wenjie to be so arrogant and free to come and go as he pleased.

The way she addressed him, especially Ah Cha, suggests that she considered Tan Wenjie to be on the same level as her.

He certainly couldn't defeat Hades on his own, but Tan Wenjie was different. By joining his ranks, he might be able to use his power to defeat Hades Acha.

After a while, Zhao Li clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "Let's do it!" (End of this chapter)
