Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

"No! That's not it! This isn't me! I'm innocent! Who dares to convict me!"

The emperor shouted in terror, but it was to no avail.

After all the records of sins have been presented...

The middle-aged man in black sneered, "Hell is full, and the underworld can no longer contain you... Set off!"

He slapped the emperor across the face, and the terrifying energy fluctuation instantly shattered the emperor's soul.

After doing all this, he shook his head and said sadly, "I can't bring ten thousand taels of gold with me; all I'll ever have is bad karma. I've only brought this upon myself."

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan was so frightened she almost threw up... even though she didn't have a heart.

Fan Xiao remained calm throughout.

The future of "Quantum Immortality," the ultimate player of "The Wind of Nothingness," is locked in—using a two-pronged approach, he concealed his own and Liu Yan's information and aura.

Meanwhile, his "Demon Eye of Truth" was curiously observing the ancient mirror in the sky.

The little angel on his shoulder also stared curiously at the ancient mirror, as if it wanted to take it off and play with it.

"This mirror... seems to be intelligent?"

As Fan Xiao watched, he keenly noticed that the light reflected from the mirror wasn't directed towards him.

Could it be that they're scared?

So... he was actually discovered?

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao simply removed the "Wind of Nothingness" from his body and tested it out a little.

As a result... his image was still not reflected in that ancient mirror.

He seemed to have become invisible.

Fan Xiao: "..."

What a terrible mirror!

Is this how you judge people's sins?

Chapter 763 Van Shaw: You are all my Palu

Fan Xiao felt a strong sense of déjà vu from the mirror of evil... it could be described as a replica of "Truth Surpasses All".

Moreover, both have very similar functions, both of which can explore past records.

However, Xiao Zhen can investigate everything, while the Mirror of Sin can only investigate sins.

However, while the latter is inferior to the former in terms of information exploration, it is superior in terms of the scope of exploration. When a soul stands on the Mirror of Retribution, the evil deeds committed in its previous life will be revealed by the light reflected from the mirror, without any limitation of "reaching the correct point".

"Xiao Zhen and Nie Jing... perhaps they could be merged to achieve complementary functions?"

Fan Xiao had this idea.

He's got his eye on this instance; sooner or later he'll incorporate it into the fairytale kingdom... We can give it a try then.

Soon, the Mirror of Retribution completed its inspection of all those who had taken the stage and recorded the relevant information, transmitting it to the first of the Ten Palaces of the Underworld.

Fan Xiao and Liu Yan naturally had no problems and were marked as ordinary people in the records... If Fan Xiao hadn't demonstrated his ability to conceal himself, the Mirror of Misfortune would probably have marked him and Liu Yan as "peerless good people".

To be fair, this antique mirror is quite sophisticated.

the other side.

Seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively patted her chest.

As expected of a powerful figure who could subdue her in a single encounter, he is incredibly reliable!

At this moment, the middle-aged man in black, who was floating in mid-air, saw that the Mirror of Evil had finished examining the soul. He then waved his hand and used some kind of authority to open the spatial gate.

"Let's go, it's time to enter the First Palace of the Underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the way into the spatial portal.

Upon seeing this, the people on the Mirror of Retribution quickly followed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yan whispered to Fan Xiao again.

She knew that the big boss had powerful methods of concealment, so she wasn't afraid that her voice would be detected by the people of the underworld.

"My benefactor, next up is the first of the Ten Kings of Hell. The Ten Kings of Hell are all important figures in the Underworld, in charge of the reincarnation system. Although they are not responsible for combat in the Underworld, the Kings of Hell are not weak. I have heard that their strength is second only to the Ghost Emperor. My benefactor, are you confident that you can keep this a secret?"

Liu Yan asked cautiously.

"They're in charge of reincarnation, not combat..." Fan Xiao asked curiously, "Then who are the ones responsible for combat?"

“The Five Ghost Emperors,” Liu Yan replied. “The Five Ghost Emperors reside on Mount Luofeng, and under their command are the Six Heavenly Palaces of Luofeng, which can be considered the military headquarters within the underworld system. They are usually responsible for suppressing evil spirits that cause trouble. However…”

She shook her head: "Ever since the problem with the cycle of reincarnation occurred, Luo Fengshan has diverted most of its combat power to deal with this matter. After all, the reincarnation system is the foundation of the entire Netherworld... no, the entire world, and cannot afford any mistakes."

"And this is also the reason why the Demon Territory has been able to develop rampantly for nearly a hundred years."

"By the time the higher-ups of the Netherworld reacted, multiple Ghost Kings had already emerged from the frenzied cannibalistic horde of evil spirits, and there was even a Ghost Emperor... Now, to completely suppress the evil spirit territory, even the Underworld would have to suffer heavy losses."

"In addition, the problem of the cycle loop has not been resolved..."

She sighed softly, "I wonder what the Netherworld will become in the future."

"That probably depends on my mood," Fan Xiao said.

Liu Yan: "?"

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "Just kidding, don't take it to heart. By the way, besides the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Kings of Hell, have you ever heard of any other high-ranking officials in the Underworld, such as... Jafari Sanye?"

Jafari Mitsuba is the name of the Twilight Council Speaker—this information came from Dr. Zhuang.

He had personally verified every piece of information provided by Dr. Zhuang.

Given his current "luck," the possibility of the other party deceiving him with direct information, aside from playing verbal traps, is almost nonexistent.

“Uh… what a strange name.” Liu Yan paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I’ve never heard of it before.”

"Have not heard……"

Fan Xiao was somewhat surprised.

The Speaker is the BOSS of this instance world, the boss. According to the normal pattern, he should be a high-ranking member of the Netherworld... No, the second prompt in the game is "This is a world that punishes evil and promotes good."

If the former speaker, who was merged with Dr. Zhuang, were to serve as the high-ranking official here, it's likely that neither the punishment of evil nor the promotion of good would be achieved.

From this perspective... the Speaker's role in this world may not conform to the usual pattern, and the position he occupies is likely to be quite special.

Fan Xiao did not investigate the matter further for the time being.

He then said to Liu Yan, "Since you haven't heard of it, just pretend I didn't ask. Tell me, is there anything I should be aware of in this Netherworld First Palace?"

"There used to be quite a few things to be aware of, but now there aren't any."

Liu Yan said softly, "In the past, whether a person was good or bad, their soul would go to the Mirror of Retribution after death, where their sins before birth would be marked, and then they would be sent to the First Hall."

"The First Hall is the Hall of Judgment. The Hall Master, King Qin Guang, is in charge of the Book of Life and Death and is responsible for interpreting and pronouncing judgments. Whether a soul entering the hall is sent into reincarnation or sent to hell to be punished is all decided by him."

"As for the other nine palaces..."

She showed a slightly frightened expression and said, "I have heard that apart from the final Hall of Reincarnation, the masters of the other eight halls are all responsible for overseeing hell. They are the ones who punish the wicked: mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of boiling oil, tongue-pulling plows, gut-pulling and dismemberment... People with different sins will be sent to different hells to be punished."

"After the punishment period ends, the souls in hell will be sent to the Samsara Palace, where the Palace Master, King Yama, will decide their next reincarnation identity."

"but……"

She added, "Now that the cycle of reincarnation has gone wrong, the number of places available for reincarnation is limited, and the underworld now only accepts the souls of good people."

"Except for the First Hall and the Tenth Hall, which are still operating, the other eight halls have all stopped operating."

"We... will probably be sent directly to reincarnation. Of course, we'll still have to go through the procedures of the First Hall."

"The Ten Kings of Hell... their division of labor is quite clear." Fan Xiao asked, "But before the cycle of reincarnation went wrong, there must have been countless souls coming to reincarnate, right? Could the Ten Kings alone handle it all?"

“My benefactor, I have also been puzzled by this question. Someone with similar characteristics to you has helped me understand it.”

Liu Yan explained, "The Ten Palaces is just a name; in reality... they are essentially ten smaller worlds."

"The time in each small world is out of sync with that in the Netherworld. A day in the Netherworld may have passed in the Ten Palaces a long time ago."

"Moreover, there are many people from the underworld assisting the Palace Master in managing the reincarnation system; it is not solely the responsibility of the Palace Master."

"Besides the people of the underworld, there are many powerful ghost artifacts that assist the Palace Master in managing things, such as..."

She pointed behind her, and in that direction, the Mirror of Evil hung suspended in the air, facing east.

"The difference in time flow rate...that makes sense." Fan Xiao nodded: "Very good, saves me from redesigning it."

"..."

Liu Yan didn't quite understand what Fan Xiao was saying.

At this moment, they had arrived in front of the spatial portal.

Liu Yan's heart pounded again, fearing that King Qin Guang of the First Hall would see through her disguise.

A demon dares to trespass into the territory of the underworld... If something goes wrong, she'll probably be beaten to a pulp on the spot!

She hesitated a bit about whether to go in.

However, seeing Fan Xiao step into the spatial portal without hesitation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him.

Fortunately...none of the things she feared happened.

After entering the small world of the First Hall, they were taken by the people of the Underworld to the main hall where King Qin Guang was in charge of his affairs.

In the past, only souls with unique experiences and sins that were difficult to judge using universal values ​​had the opportunity to meet King Qin Guang.

Now, due to the blockage of the cycle of reincarnation, the number of souls that can reincarnate is pitifully small, which means that everyone who enters the First Hall of Reincarnation can be summoned by King Qin Guang.

Contrary to rumors, King Qin Guang did not appear as fierce and menacing as they had imagined. Instead, he was quite approachable and looked like a middle-aged scholar.

Fan Xiao silently tossed a coin to confirm the other party's identity... Thankfully, it wasn't Dr. Zhuang's counterpart.

Otherwise, he would have to find a new subordinate to serve as the head of the First Hall.

Yes, he already considers this copy to be his for the taking.

At that moment, several hundred people suddenly disappeared from the crowd of tens of thousands.

This scene surprised both Fan Xiao and Liu Yan... Fan Xiao noticed Liu Yan's reaction, it seems that even this "encyclopedia" he found by luck has things she doesn't know.

Fan Xiao then looked up at King Qin Guang on the steps and found that the First Hall Master did not show any surprise. He just sighed and said, "Another batch of people died unjustly this time... The loopholes in the reincarnation system are getting bigger and bigger."

After saying that, he waved his hand and instructed his subordinates, "There are no problems. Send it to the Samsara Palace."

"Yes."

Thus, Fan Xiao and the others were led away from the small world where the First Hall was located by the people of the Underworld, as if they were just going through the motions, and embarked on a wide road floating in the air.

This time, the scenery along the road didn't rush by as quickly as before.

Just like a train slowly passing through the earth, the scenery slowly emerging on both sides is mesmerizing... Liu Yan walked near the edge of the road, looking at the magnificent scenery on the path of reincarnation with appreciative eyes. For a moment, her instincts as a demon seemed to be relieved by the intoxication brought by the beautiful scenery.

Fan Xiao was the only one who didn't go to appreciate it.

At this moment, he was pondering the meaning of King Qin Guang's previous words and grasped the key words in them—another batch of people died unjustly, and the loopholes were getting bigger and bigger... The so-called "historical problems left over on the path of reincarnation" most likely refers to this.

"Wrongfully died...the City of the Wrongfully Dead?"

Fan Xiao thought of the myths and legends of his hometown.

Legend has it that there exists a city of the unjustly dead in hell, created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for the ghosts who died unjustly.

This city is located near the Bridge of Helplessness and the Blood Basin of Suffering, within the underworld, yet it is not under the jurisdiction of the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, or other forces of the underworld.

As for the meaning of wrongful death... any death caused by disaster, war, accident, murder, or other unjust circumstances is called wrongful death—of course, there is a prerequisite, namely, "their lifespan has not ended".

People who shouldn't have died, but died unjustly, will be guided to the City of the Unjustly Dead in the underworld.

Because they did not die of old age, these people cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation for the time being. They must live in the City of the Wrongfully Dead until their original lifespan ends before they can embark on the cycle of reincarnation again—that is, ascend the Mirror of Retribution and enter the First Hall...

Another explanation is that those who died unjustly in the City of the Dead could climb the city walls to observe whether those who caused their wrongful deaths had received their just punishment. Only after witnessing the execution of their perpetrators could their resentment be soothed, allowing them to embark on the cycle of reincarnation once more.

According to other legends, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also personally performs rituals to help those who died unjustly in the city find peace.

As for whether there is a City of the Wrongfully Dead or Ksitigarbha in this instance... Fan Xiao tossed a coin to confirm.

The answer surprised him somewhat—none of them!

After a moment's thought, he accepted the premise.
