Chapter 25: Zhao Li Appears, Soul Ferryman vs. Supervisor (Please Customize)

The next day, inside the cabin of an SUV.

A young woman sitting in the passenger seat, scrolling through her phone, suddenly asked, "Hey, have you all heard?"

"More than half a month ago, the key figures in resolving the Kryptonian incident were not actually the US military or those so-called superheroes."

"It's a Chinese man who can transform into a Buddha. I think his name is 'Mr. Xia'."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the car rolled their eyes and retorted unhappily, "The story you mentioned has already spread all over the underground world."

"The whole world is searching for the mysterious 'Mr. Xia', trying to figure out his true identity."

"Oh, that's how it is."

The girl pouted a little in grievance, then shook her head after a moment and said, "Tell me... who is this 'Mr. Xia'?"

"Why have we never heard from this person before?"

"what is this."

The middle-aged man driving the car smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Our China is a renowned ancient nation with a history of thousands of years. It has always been a place where hidden talents are hidden and has a profound cultural heritage."

"We don't know how many unknown masters are hiding out there. It's not surprising if one or two occasionally show up."

"You can't say that."

A young man in the back row, dressed in a "Shamatte" style, grumbled in frustration, "This time, because of the sudden appearance of a 'Mr. Xia,' those Buddhist monks are really showing off, claiming everywhere that this is a hidden master from their sect."

"Haven't you seen those members of the Buddhist sect in the police station looking at people with squinted eyes these days?"

"It's a pity for us members of the Xuanmen team. We have to keep our tails between our legs during this period."

""

""

""

As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage suddenly became silent, and even the air pressure dropped a few degrees involuntarily.

After a moment, after a long sigh of relief, the middle-aged man who was the team leader slowly said: "There is a long way to go, there is no need to argue about the short term."

"Don't even mention the mysterious 'Mr. Xia'. He might not be some hidden master of Buddhism. Even if he is, what does it matter?"

"My Xuan Sect has been around for thousands of years, with a long history. Within the sect, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and masters are as numerous as clouds. Could it be that there are no peerless masters who can compare with him?"

"It's just that he's still lurking in the abyss, never showing his face."

"Just wait, one day, my Xuanmen will fight for our dignity back."

Having said this, the middle-aged man glanced at several team members in turn through the rearview mirror, and then fell silent.

Next, the few of them sat quietly in the car and drove all the way to the place where Xiaolong was almost killed before.

"Huh? Someone got here first?"

Looking at the dark figure standing on the edge of the cliff, several people looked at each other, then opened the car door and got out of the car. Looking at the figure in front of them, they greeted, "What a rare guest, Zhao Li."

"As a ferryman of souls from the underworld, how could you be interested in the affairs of the living world?"

"hehe."

Zhao Li smiled slightly upon hearing this, then turned around and looked at the others, saying, "There's nothing we can do. A soul that should have been dead suddenly came back to life for some inexplicable reason."

"So Lord Pluto sent me here to investigate and see what's going on."

"Zhao Li."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly when he heard this, took a step forward, and said, "I don't think I need to remind you again."

"According to the agreement, anything concerning the living is under the jurisdiction of our 'Overseer' department. It is not your turn in the underworld to interfere."

"So, please leave this place immediately."

"..."

Seeing the hostile looks from the others, Zhao Li could only slowly raise his hands, making a gesture of surrender, shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll leave right away."

Having said that, Zhao Li got into his car without hesitation and drove away.

Next, after taking a look in the rearview mirror at several Xuanmen masters who were starting to get busy.

Zhao Li immediately pulled out the latest Apple phone from the underworld from his pocket, dialed the number, and said respectfully, "Hello, is this Pluto?"

"I am your most caring ferryman, Zhao Li."

"Oh, it's Zhao Li..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lazy female voice came from the phone, asking listlessly, "How's the investigation going?"

"Have you figured out why that soul that was supposed to be dead suddenly came back to life?"

"Well. I've already explored the scene."

Zhao Li smirked upon hearing this and said, "We have indeed detected traces of mana fluctuations. It's obvious that a third party is involved."

"However, when I wanted to find out who was behind this, I found that I couldn't go on any further."

"It's as if everything that happened during that time was forcibly erased by someone."

"..."

Hearing this, the other end of the line fell silent for a while. After a long while, Hades slowly spoke, "What did the 'Overseer' and the Celestial Realm say? Could it be related to the people on these two sides?"

"probably not."

Zhao Li shook his head and said, "I've just met with the people from the 'Overseers' organization. They don't know what's going on either, and they even sent people to the scene to investigate."

"As for the heavens, Lord Hades, I don't think those birdmen would be interested in anything other than Chi You's soul."

"..."

As soon as she heard her brother's name, the breathing sound on the other end of the phone became a little faster.

A moment later, Pluto Ah Cha's voice, which was unusually serious, came from the other end of the line again. He asked, "How's the situation with Xia Dongqing going now?"

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to recruit him to the convenience store and keep a close watch on him? How come over half a month has passed and there's no progress at all?"

"Mr. Pluto, this is not my fault."

Zhao Li said with a bitter face, "Xia Dongqing was a poor fellow before, so I thought of recruiting him to work in the store."

"But according to my recent investigation, I don't know what kind of luck this kid had recently, he actually won the first prize in the welfare lottery."

"Now I have a villa and a sports car, and I've long forgotten about working at a convenience store."

"..What a coincidence?"

Hearing this, Hades A-Cha also felt a little unbelievable. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about the soul that is not dead anymore."

"From now on, your focus should be on Xia Dongqing. Don't let those birdmen from the heaven take advantage of you."

"do you understand?"

"Understood! Lord Pluto! Just wait and see!"

Zhao Li patted his chest and made a promise after hearing this, then suddenly lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "It's just that Xia Dongqing now lives in a high-end villa area, so it's a bit troublesome for him to get in."

"Or, Mr. Pluto, could you please give me an advance on my allowance so I can rent a house there or something..."

"Hello? Hello? What's going on? The signal is not very good. I can't hear anything."

When Pluto Ah Cha heard Zhao Li actually ask for money, he immediately revealed the ugly face of a black-hearted capitalist. He pretended to nag for a few words on the phone, then smiled and said, "I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now."

"Don't forget the task I assigned to you. You must complete it."

"Otherwise..."

Pluto A'Cha sneered at this and then hung up the phone without any hesitation, leaving Zhao Li, with a gloomy face, alone there.

Chapter 26: The God's Avatar Goes to Fight the Japanese Pirates (Please Customize)

At the same time, in the garden of the villa.

Chen Hui slowly put away the 'Eye of the Universe' and fell into deep thought.

[So, the elusive "Overseers" organization in the world of "Pendulum" Part 3 was actually formed by a group of practitioners from the human world.]

[Not only that, this organization clearly has official background and is semi-official in nature.]

[No wonder this organization is feared by both the heavens and the underworld.]

[After all, behind it stand 1.4 billion people.]

[Speaking of which, I wonder if the two cheap apprentices I accepted a hundred years ago, plus Hua Yingxiong, who was destined to be a "lonely star," have any connection to this organization.]

[Given their aptitude, it shouldn't be difficult for them to break through to the Xiantian level.]

[It's only been less than a hundred years, so I shouldn't die of old age.]

[As long as it doesn't die midway, that's fine.]

Just as Chen Hui was lost in thought, Caiqin suddenly stepped in front of him, turned around gracefully, and asked expectantly, "How is it? Does it look good in this outfit?"

"..."

Seeing Caiqin wearing a custom-made high-end beige dress that outlined her waist as slender as a willow and fit in one hand, Chen Hui smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good, very beautiful."

Having said this, seeing the slight blush on Caiqin's face, Chen Hui raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really not need me to take you to school?"

"It's better not to be late for the first day of school."

"it does not matter."

Caiqin smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Your car is too conspicuous. I'd better take a taxi myself."

As she spoke, Caiqin glanced at the Hermès watch on her wrist, smiled sweetly, and said, "It's almost time, I'll be leaving first."

"Wait a mininute."

Chen Hui smiled calmly upon hearing this, then he took out a platinum necklace from his pocket and hung it around Caiqin's snow-white neck. He said, "This necklace is a talisman I made for you personally. Never take it off at any time."

"If anything unexpected happens, I will be aware of it immediately."

"do you understand?"

"Ah."

Caiqin touched the platinum necklace hanging on her chest and felt the body temperature still remaining on it, and the blush on her face deepened a little.

Then he waved his hands in a panic and ran away.

"hehe."

Watching Caiqin's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Chen Hui couldn't help but shook his head with a slightly amused look, his eyes filled with an indelible look of doting.

After rescuing the undercover policeman named "Xiaolong", Chen Hui once asked Caiqin if there was anything she particularly wanted to do.

In response to this question, Caiqin said that apart from fulfilling the promise she had made to Ajin, the thing that was most difficult for her to accept was that he died of illness in his youth and did not have time to complete his studies.

Therefore, now that she has finally been reborn, Caiqin hopes to have the opportunity to return to school and complete the studies that she abandoned halfway.

Chen Hui, who always responded to Caiqin's requests, naturally could not refuse her request.

He immediately used magic to complete all the procedures for her, allowing her to study at the top university in Yanjing as a transfer student.

It can be considered as making up for a major regret in her previous life.

Thinking of this, after a slight smile, Chen Hui turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him and searched for the latest news from the United States.

A moment later, looking at the overwhelming reports in American newspapers about the newly emerged superhero - 'Superman', Chen Hui shook his head with a little helplessness.

Clark, you finally took this path.

It’s a pity that you may not know yet how difficult this path to becoming a “God on Earth” is.

After all, as the saying goes, 'A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'.
