Chapter 361 The Warden of Torture Hell, Fully Exposed in Candlestone Town!

Chen Xin was pondering how to improve the description of the eighteen levels of torture in hell, and the connection between the Gates of Hell and the eighteen levels of hell.

First of all, obtaining the seal corresponding to the Eighteen Levels of Torture Hell is a troublesome part.

Besides the copper pillar seal, the closest and most likely seal that Chen Xin can obtain is the tree spirit's true form located in the Mubei Municipal Bureau of Investigation.

If Chen Xin wanted to take it, it would be very easy to avoid the Bureau of Investigation.

However, Chen Xin was unsure whether he could suppress that turbid ghost in the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects" as well.

The acquisition of the bronze pillar seal was already considered lucky; Chen Xin had no idea what would happen if he had to suppress a new turbid ghost again.

Compared to the attack method that turned into iron trees around the Bureau of Investigation, Chen Xin felt that he would likely be torn to pieces by the turbid ghost before he even made contact with it.

Each time he dies, he loses 20,000 units of Yin virtue. But now, Chen Xin only has 30,000 units of Yin virtue left, so he can only die once!
However, compared to last time, obtaining the Copper Pillar Seal also gave Chen Xin the means to deal with the turbid ghosts in the Netherworld.

If you were to encounter that murky ghost associated with the iron tree, holding the copper pillar in front of you might be able to withstand its attack.

If one can use the light from the bronze pillar to pinpoint the location of the turbid ghost, and then use the Netherworld Seal to teleport there and suppress it directly, that would also be a method.

Of course, you'll only know these things after you actually try them out.

This is an issue regarding the acquisition of the Zhen Seal, but currently, there is another problem with the first level of the Copper Pillar Torture Hell: Chen Xin needs to control the Zhen Seal himself, which is too unintelligent.

What Chen Xin wanted was a bronze pillar hell that he could "move" himself.

Judging from the current situation, having the illusionary body sit in charge of Hell is a way to realize this idea.

However, Huan Shen has many things to do right now. Not to mention writing novels, Huan Shen also needs to infiltrate the underworld officials in Sanshan Village as 'Yama,' and deal with the turbid ghosts. Sometimes, Huan Shen can also help Chen Xin with some things in the mortal world.

With so many things piling up, it's inevitable that some things will be neglected.

Not to mention, there is only one illusory body, but Chen Xin's imagined hell of torture has eighteen levels, or even more!
So the illusion could serve as a temporary warden for the Copper Pillar Hell, but once there were many hells, Chen Xin would still have to find a way.

Chen Xin considered using Jiuri or Bai Ying, whom he had just subdued, as wardens for one level of Hell; that would be a good idea.

Especially Bai Ying, who has experienced the Copper Pillar Hell, so if he were to control the Copper Pillar Hell to carry out punishments, he would definitely do a good job.

Putting aside whether it's appropriate to do this right after Bai Ying has just been captured, even if Bai Ying is included, there are only two Zhi Gui.

The entire Great Xia might be able to gather eighteen wise ghosts, but relying solely on Chen Xin and the Underworld would certainly be difficult.

Given the research value of the Wise Ghosts on the Gods of the Turbid World, the Bureau of Investigation certainly wouldn't easily hand over the Wise Ghosts they possess.

To obtain the corresponding intelligent ghost, Chen Xin would have to 'stitch up' a few wounds for Da Xia.

A single wound costs over 100,000 merit points, which would take Chen Xin almost a week to accumulate.

However, this is still one possible solution.

Chen Xin recorded it.

Who knows, the Bureau of Poll might suddenly need his help someday. Bringing it up then might save you a lot of bad karma.

Besides the intelligent ghost, Chen Xin also thought of another possibility.

That is to use the paper-cutting of the underworld level to create a phantom body belonging to the underworld officials, and let the phantom body of the underworld officials do things in the eighteen levels of torture in hell!
This does not affect the actions of the underworld messengers themselves, and the illusory bodies of the underworld messengers have the same thoughts as the underworld messengers, which is no less than that of the wise ghosts, and is even simpler.

But the question is, which messenger should we choose?
In the eighteen levels of hell of torture, some evil people and demons will inevitably be thrown in later.

The thoughts and feelings of the illusory body are interconnected with those of the original body.

The power to control the life and death of ghosts and evil people is an immense authority for anyone.

Will having this power affect their character? Will it give them a sense of superiority? Will it lead them to do things unbecoming of their status?
Chen Xin didn't just throw people into the eighteen levels of hell of torture as deadly ghosts or people who deserved to die.

Perhaps some people and ghosts were only sent in to be punished, but were killed by the warden.

Although no one will hold you accountable for doing this, things that are beyond your control should not happen in the first place; otherwise, don't do them!
Therefore, even if you are to choose a ghost messenger's illusory body to do this, you must choose a ghost messenger with a strong will or certain personality traits.

Chen Xin thought about it and realized that among the current underworld officials, Wang Zhibo was the one he was most familiar with, so he felt quite at ease having him as the warden.

Then there's Shen Zhihong, an elderly man in his sixties who is very wise and a very good person.

As for the others, Bai Yongnian is not suitable; he is likely to turn the torture hell into a business.

The end of the season is not suitable, as it easily evokes compassion and loses the original meaning of the torture and hell.

As for Ye Chang, this editor has come into contact with a lot of people and things, and has also experienced life-and-death struggles. He can do it in the short term, but whether he can do it in the long term remains to be seen.

Li Gongyang, on the other hand, is a college student who is delivering medicine to the homes of those 270 students. After experiencing so much, he has become much more composed and could also be considered as a candidate.

Of the other underworld messengers, only Su Yongliang, whom Shen Zhihong initially took in, was suitable.

Su Yongliang often says, "Good people should be rewarded." Although there is no follow-up, in practicing "good people should be rewarded," he naturally also realizes that "evil people should suffer the consequences."

A person who clearly distinguishes between good and evil would be a good candidate to be a warden, but if his illusory body were to become the warden, he would need to acquire abilities similar to those of the Ghost Heart lineage of the Ghost Slave organization.

Only those who can see into people's hearts can make judgments.

Chen Xin made a detailed record of the Ghost Slave Ghost Heart lineage, hoping to find the source of the Ghost Heart lineage in the future.

If none of the above works, then Chen Xin plans to treat the position of warden as a special task, which can be taken on by any underworld official who meets the requirements.

This should help avoid some problems.

These are all problems related to the eighteen levels of hell of torture.

While contemplating hell, Chen Xin also thought of the 'Gates of Hell' that he had been planning all along.

Previously, after Chen Xin had the idea of ​​using the Gate of Hell as a talisman, he had considered many possibilities.

But the original ideas were based on the world of the living and the underworld, but now there is an additional underworld!
If the Gates of Hell can only communicate with the living world and the underworld, but not with the netherworld, then that would be somewhat of a pity.

Fortunately, the "Gates of Hell" project is still just a concept and has not yet been implemented, so there is still a chance.

Chen Xin took out the piece of paper from Sanshan Village that he had previously used to plan the Ghost Gate Pass and wrote a line of words on it.

"The world of the living, the world of the dead, the world of the netherworld—three spaces; humans, ghosts, gods? Three realms? No, there are only humans and ghosts!"

Although the abilities of the gods in this turbid world are in some ways no different from those of the gods.

But it cannot be denied that their essence is still that of ghosts.

If it's a ghost, the Gates of Hell will be of use!
Therefore, it is possible to link the underworld with the Gates of Hell.

Moreover, the Netherworld will be transformed into a torture hell by Chen Xin. Shouldn't the ghosts absorbed by the Gate of Hell be assigned to different hells to experience torture first, and then released into the Netherworld?
Chen Xin writes and draws.

"I have already obtained information about Yinming from the Bureau of Investigation. If I can also obtain information about Yinming from other non-governmental organizations, then our understanding of Yinming will be complete."

After experiencing the divine messenger opening the 'crack' and the 'assimilation' of the ghost slave organization, Chen Xin discovered that the power of these grassroots organizations should not be underestimated.

"Then there is information from the underworld. Whether it is the Bureau of Investigation or folk organizations such as divine messengers and ghost slaves, they all have the ability to contact the turbid ghosts in the underworld. Although these communication methods are not as good as my Netherworld-Connecting Seal to enter the underworld and face the turbid ghosts directly, they can still be used to understand things by analogy."

Chen Xin thought of the Divine Envoy Organization's method of using Pillar Envoys and Tree Envoys as mediums to borrow the power of the gods of the turbid world, and the Ghost Slave Organization's 'assimilation' of the source ghosts.

Even if Chen Xin could roam the underworld all day, he would never have imagined or experienced these things.

Therefore, we need to visit the headquarters of both the Divine Messenger Organization and the Ghost Slave Organization. If we can't find the headquarters, we need to capture some of the leaders and extract some key memories from their memories.

Chen Xin set a goal for what he would do next.

"So the first thing to do now is to get rid of that tree spirit in the Mubei City Investigation Bureau."

Chen Xin said this.

……

Day two.

Beneath the ruins of the Mubei City Survey Bureau, in the new director's office, Bai Hongtao was listening to a reprimand from Chu Xiu, the deputy director of the General Administration.

"What are you doing! The Divine Envoy Organization razed your Mubei Civil Investigation Bureau to the ground, and you're telling me you lost your spoils?"

"How am I supposed to get the other branches to spread the news? What if we say we've dealt with the Tree Envoy, and then the Divine Envoy sends another Tree Envoy to embarrass us?"

Hearing Chu Xiu's reprimand, Bai Hongtao had nothing to say.

Aside from the messengers of the gods, he couldn't think of anyone else who would steal the true form of a ghost!

He had clearly placed the ghost's true form in the safest place; if the ghost approached, it would definitely trigger the alarm. How did the divine messenger manage to sneak in and take the ghost's true form?

Bai Hongtao couldn't explain it, but the ghost's true form was indeed gone, so he could only take the blame.

"Are the corpses of those guides still there?"

“Yes, yes!”

"Take pictures of those corpses and send them to me. Oh, and don't send that baby spirit sculpture anymore, lest it get lost on the way. I'll have someone go and get it."

"……Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Hongtao sat down in his chair and sighed.

"Ever since we got the title of the first branch to capture the divine messenger, things haven't been easy!"

Bai Hongtao cursed under his breath.

Just as he was feeling agitated, he suddenly received a call from He Xiangwen, the head of the information processing department.

"what happened?"

Bai Hongtao asked seriously, knowing that He Xiangwen wouldn't call him unless there were special circumstances.

In these turbulent times, he only hoped it wouldn't be anything bad.

"Chief, look at the computer."

Bai Hongtao immediately opened the chat box and clicked on several links sent by He Xiangwen.

After reading them one by one, Bai Hongtao's eyes widened.

"How dare they!"

Those links were all filled with messages spreading paranormal events.

But if it's just spreading the news, Bai Hongtao wouldn't think much of it.

If someone hasn't experienced it, even if you put a ghost in front of them, they'll just say, "That's cosplay, isn't it?"

The problem now is the identity of the person who posted these messages!
These were all messages being disseminated by official accounts. What he found most unbelievable was that the mayor of Mubei City actually held a press conference and publicly stated that "paranormal events are real, and everyone must be careful when traveling."

Not only him, but many influential people in Mubei City are also spreading these messages.

Bai Hongtao believes that if ordinary cameras could capture ghosts, these people would probably present videos and photos to prove it to the public!

"How dare he!"

"How dare they!"

As Bai Hongtao muttered to himself, He Xiangwen sent him another link.

"Director, this is the live broadcast of the press conference just now. When the mayor was arrested, a ghost appeared and disappeared after killing half of the people."

What does it mean to disappear after killing half a person?

"...See for yourself."

Bai Hongtao blankly clicked on the video.

You can't see ghosts in the video, but you can see people who died in all sorts of bizarre ways!
To his astonishment, there were no Bureau of Investigation agents, no fortune tellers, and no one there to deal with the ghosts.

But after killing half the people, the ghost just disappeared!

When Bai Hongtao took a closer look, he realized that they had all killed cameramen and staff.
None of those reporters died!

If this were a wild ghost, it would eat shit!
"Is someone stirring up trouble? Can you guess who it is?"

Bai Hongtao calmed down and asked.

Although it was absurd, he wasn't actually that worried.

The authorities will definitely send people to control those reporters and online public opinion.

What he needs to do now is to find those who caused the trouble as soon as possible.

This situation doesn't seem like something an ordinary Akatsuki organization would do.

Could it be a divine messenger again?

They just finished something, and now this happens again?

Do you really think Mubei City is a public toilet, where you can come and go as you please?
"I don't know... Director, I just received news that similar incidents have occurred simultaneously in fifteen other cities."

"Without exception, they were all ordinary people with influence in the city. I suspect that someone is controlling these people. This method is somewhat similar to the Ghost Slave Ghost Heart lineage."

"No, there's more news now. They say the person who was captured escaped, and it was discovered that he had already died at home. Based on this, there's a 90% chance that Ghost Heart and Ghost Skin from the Ghost Slave organization were mobilized together!"

"New information: the number has increased to 32 cities. The General Administration has already sent people to deal with the other cities where the incident has not yet occurred, and has cut off the network and live broadcast channels."

"The number has increased again, to fifty-six cities. The Ghost Slave Organization actually pre-recorded the videos and audios and broadcast them on television and radio."

"The number has been updated again, to sixty-nine cities. The Ghost Slave Organization has taken control of the newspapers. They were printed and distributed long ago. Our Mubei City also has them, but newspapers and radios are not very reliable, so the impact is not significant."

Bai Hongtao remained silent for a long time as He Xiangwen kept interrupting him.

"Any more?"

Bai Hongtao asked.

"Hold on."

After waiting for two minutes, He Xiangwen's voice rang out again.

"It has been largely confirmed that the situation in the remaining forty cities has been brought under control, and the source was dealt with before the news could spread."

Bai Hongtao asked, "Are they the thirty-six cities where the Thirty-Six Bureaus of the Heavenly Gang are located? What about the other four?"

"One is where the headquarters is located, and the remaining three are cities where the cracks were stitched up at that time."

"..."

"Chief, should we move some people out of the bureau?"

He Xiangwen asked.

After a moment's thought, Bai Hongtao said, "All those below the top team leader level should disperse. Except for the top team leaders near the crack, all the others should return to the station to guard the area."

"In addition, contact the surrounding cities and ask those star-level specialists and temporary workers who came to provide support before to come again... Wait, also notify Zhenlong Temple and have them all come to the bureau!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Hongtao's face was gloomy.

His arrangement is destined to make life more chaotic for ordinary people in Mubei City than in other cities.

But what can he do?
If the messengers of the gods take advantage of the chaos and the Mubei City Investigation Bureau is defeated one by one, then Mubei City will truly be in complete chaos.

Between two equally harmful options, we must choose the lesser one and have to give up a portion of the problem.

Three hours later.

The basement of the Mubei City Survey Bureau was packed with people, including monks, temporary workers from other cities, and top local team leaders.

These people were all waiting for the messengers of God to attack them.

Just then, many people's phones rang.

Bai Hongtao answered the phone first, and then he heard a voice.

"I am Director Feng Jin."

"Now, I authorize you to publicly reveal the method of making the house-protecting candle, so that everyone in the area will know its effects!"

"Everyone!"
