After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 140 Going and Returning

Yuan Weiyuan was speechless when asked. When the organization's attitude towards the mission target was unclear, he contacted them privately. For him, it was really a shame for the country's training. However, he had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and Song Miaozhu was not an unforgivable criminal. Since it was related to his own safety, he could not remain calm.

Lou Junchi had no military experience, so he didn't find it so difficult to speak. He took a half step forward:
"Master Song, we have something personal to consult you about.

The two of us were also involved in recruiting and training ghost members. Before we came here, we were visited by the underworld in our dreams.

In my dream, the ghost said that since I was just following orders and didn’t know the consequences of this matter, and it didn’t cause too serious impact, I would temporarily record it as a level six minor offense and confiscate one year of my life.

I'd like to ask you, what are the consequences of recording a 'Level 6 Minor Evil'?"

Lou Junchi started talking, and Yuan Weiyuan finally got over the hurdle in his heart and added:
"The ghost messenger in my dream also informed me that the ghosts in our group, as ghosts, knowingly committed a crime, which is an aggravated crime. They will be punished as Level 12 Great Evil, their illegal gains will be confiscated, and they will be fined 1 million ghost money.

What are the consequences of a Level 12 Great Evil?"

When the two asked about this, their previous tough attitude disappeared.

Song Miaozhu also breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't give them a good look: "Come in! I'll tell you all at once, so I don't have to sort out the contents of the underworld announcement again."

As soon as Lou Junchi and Yuan Weiyuan landed, they heard Song Miaozhu say:
"Those who commit the 'Sixth Level of Minor Evil' will be punished in Hell's first six levels after death, spending six years in each level before being released. Once in Fengdu City, the annual offering will be reduced by six levels due to the 'Sixth Level of Minor Evil'."

Those who carry the "Twelve Levels of Evil" will need to go to the first to twelfth levels of hell to be punished after death. They must stay in each level for twelve years before they can come out. After entering Fengdu City, their annual tribute will be reduced by twelve levels.

Those ghosts in your group should have gone to hell to be punished by now.

The annual offerings in Fengdu City are divided into eighteen levels. Only those who have achieved eighteen levels of good deeds can receive the eighteen levels of annual offerings.

If their original annual tribute rating was above level twelve, after completing their punishment, they might be able to slowly wait for their chance to reincarnate in Fengdu.

If there is no twelfth level, after coming out of hell, the annual supply will be zero or negative. If there is no other source of income from the underworld life, the underworld life will soon be exhausted, the soul will be scattered, and there will be no afterlife.

You can search for the punishments in the Eighteen Levels of Hell and you'll find out. Although I haven't seen it, I've heard from ghosts who have experienced it that it's even more terrifying than what they describe."

Lou Junchi quickly took out his cell phone to check, and saw things like clamping the tongue with pliers, cutting fingers with scissors, climbing an iron tree barefoot, being steamed in a steamer, hugging a burning copper pillar, etc. He shuddered at the sight.

He felt he couldn't stand one, so he ended up having to endure six in a row, each lasting six years.

Even what is written here is not as scary as the real hell!
Yuan Wei was a little better than him, but not much better: "Can you bear such a punishment?"

“Ghosts are different from living people; they’ve already died once.

These punishments will only make ghosts feel pain and will not directly harm their souls. However, sometimes the pain is too excessive and some of the ghost power may dissipate. If too much power is dissipated, the soul may be shattered.

But don't worry, the underworld has taken all of this into consideration. Even if you want to commit suicide and dissipate your ghost power during this process, the Soul-Fixing Pearl will still fix your soul and ensure that you complete your punishment.

After the punishment, it’s up to you whether your soul disperses or not.

"Even if the soul is dispersed, the soul power will not be wasted, and a new soul will be born soon, but that has nothing to do with you." Song Miaozhu said.

Yuan Weiyuan and Lou Junchi: "..."

How can this be considered reassuring?

"Is there no room for resolution? The underworld will record evil deeds, but it must also record good deeds, right? Can we resolve this by doing more good deeds in our remaining lives?" Lou Junchi asked.

"Which of those ghost members you're looking for didn't do some good deeds in their lifetime? Is it useful? It's useless! Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. Good and evil cannot offset each other, and there is no room for reconciliation.

Accumulate more good deeds, and you will be punished in hell. When you go to Fengdu City to make the annual offering, the increase in your rank from your good deeds will offset the decrease in your rank from your bad deeds, making your life in Fengdu City a little easier."

After Song Miaozhu finished speaking, she saw that both of their faces had turned pale, and she couldn't help but sigh.

It can be said that except for those people in the General Administration who planned these things, all other people and ghosts were implicated by them.

But there is no such thing as “ignorance is innocence” in the underworld. Those who deserved punishment were punished, and even because the matter was of such serious importance, there was no leniency.

Lou Junchi was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "You've blocked the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau's decision before, right?"

"Lao Lou!" Yuan Weiyuan knew what he was thinking and stopped him.

"Why can't you let me ask? I was just following orders, but in the end I'm charged with such a huge crime!

Didn't you see just now? Everyone from the General Administration is in the hospital.

"The people above us are still concerned about our own life and death. If they won't give us an explanation, can't I ask them myself?" Lou Junchi demanded.

Yuan Weiyuan sighed, and there was also a thorn in his heart.

Lou Junchi looked at Song Miaozhu again: "Master Song, please tell us the truth!"

"Of course I reminded you, and the absence of anyone from the Lingcheng Spirit Adjustment Team on the punishment list is proof of that.

When the Spirit Adjustment Bureau wanted to open a contribution point mall, they asked the leader of the Lingcheng Spirit Adjustment Group to find me for cooperation and asked me to give them the exclusive customization rights for the fourth-grade paper clothes.

My fourth-grade paper clothes are not like those sold in the contribution stores now. They are definitely a great way to make money in the underworld.

However, they wanted something from me, but their sincerity wasn't enough, and I didn't want to be tied down, so we didn't reach an agreement.

They expressed their suspicion that the Lord of the Underworld, the maker of the rules of the underworld, might be a real immortal, and wanted me to use the fourth-grade paper clothes to cooperate with them and obtain information from the Underworld.

I said it at the time, the underworld is not something we can spy on.

Since the last era of cultivation, the underworld has proactively adjusted the process for ghosts to enter the netherworld in order to cut off contact with the world of the living and prevent practitioners from disturbing yin and yang.

This is simply seeking death!
Not only do you cheat yourself, but you also cheat the ghosts in the underworld who run errands for you.

This has made me completely afraid to cooperate with the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau.

However, the leader of Lingcheng's Spirit Adjustment Group could not interfere with the decision of his superiors. The people from the General Administration found Master Zhang and Master Geng, and made some low-quality fourth-grade paper clothes. They used this as a gimmick to attract ghosts to join. The ghosts received the paper-made contributions from the mall and sold them in the underworld for cash, which caused quite a stir.

Master Zhang and Master Geng also received a Level 12 Middle Evil.

After Song Miaozhu finished speaking, she simply told them the contents of the announcement and the list of penalties.

Although she was one of the whistleblowers in this matter, she did not think that it was her and the Yinshui Lane shopkeepers' complaint that harmed them.

If there is no lawsuit, once the matter is carried out more thoroughly and the impact is greater, the punishment will only be heavier and more people will be implicated.
