The world is divided into three realms: the Earth and the Underworld, with thirty-three layers, and the Underworld has the Eighteen Layers of Hell. Generally, these three realms maintain a state of non-interference, but new regulations have changed everything. As a result, it has become easier for deities to descend to the mortal realm. However, this is not necessarily a good thing for humanity. Meanwhile, after so many years of management in the Underworld, there have finally been some oversights. Mr. Cui, an Evil Cultivator, being able to bring Ghost Fire into the human world is the best proof of this. Consequently, more and more souls are lingering in the mortal realm; some dissipate, some absorb Resentment and become Vengeful Spirits, while others are exploited and turned into tools that endanger others. People from the Underworld cannot stay in the human realm for long (excluding Wuchang Ghosts like Black and White Impermanence), so they usually seek a representative in the human world, such as Zhong Kui.
However, from all aspects, I am far from qualified to be a representative of the Underworld, so I suspect that Yama King might just want someone to take the blame like Uncle Xing and others…
Before returning to the human realm, Cui Fu Jun handed me several items.
My Judge's Robe, a Seal, a blank book titled Death Register, and a Judgment Pen. From now on, besides being a temporary worker for the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs, I finally gained a formal identity—Judge of the Inspection Department of Yama Palace. (The Judge's Robe can only be worn when my soul leaves my body, which means I will be wearing it by default when my soul exits.)
I roughly understood Yama King's intention; he was granting me the authority to handle those souls still lingering in the human realm. I do not know why Yama King thinks so highly of me; he granted me such significant power upon our first meeting. This makes me feel like an imperial envoy; the Death Register is akin to a precious sword.
I also received special permission to use Black and White Impermanence's unique passage. The Old Black passage can only be used by souls, meaning that in the future I will leave my physical body in the human realm while my soul enters the Underworld. I must protect my physical body well after entering the Underworld because there is a typical example—Iron Crutch Li!
According to Iron Crutch Li, he was burned by his disciple while his soul was wandering in the Underworld, which forced him to possess that crippled body. I certainly do not want to return to the human realm only to find myself as barbecue material; that would be terrifying—no, it would scare ghosts instead.
As for how I would enter the Underworld, Black Wuchang can simply download an app on his phone…
Due to Meng Jiangnu's uniqueness, she cannot walk through the passage with me and Old Black. (She will come find me after exiting from Fengdu's Yellow Springs Road.)
After bidding farewell to Yama King and Cui Fu Jun, Old Black took me back to the human realm. At this moment, I had no idea how much regret I would face for easily accepting the Judge position later on. At least I was quite happy when leaving the Underworld.
Upon returning to the human realm, Red Boy guarded my physical body closely. After my soul returned, I felt a slight weakness but quickly recovered.
It was already late in the day; coincidentally Old Black was also present. I planned to treat him and Sun God to dinner tonight.
I called Sun God; he was still at his mobile phone store. Upon hearing that I wanted to treat him to dinner, he readily agreed. White Impermanence expressed no interest. I also called Uncle Xing; he would show up later as well. Now all that was left was finding a good restaurant.
Among these people, only Red Boy and I are vegetarians, so I couldn't take them to Red Bean Affection. Besides, they are all grown men; taking them to A-Wan would definitely not please her.
Regarding finding a restaurant, I preferred consulting an expert—Lin Miaomiao!
Lin Miaomiao knows this place best, so asking her is definitely not wrong. However, one thing troubled me: should I bring her along? To be fair, she has helped me a lot; without her assistance, I might have starved long ago. But bringing her along would put her at risk. What kind of people go out for dinner together? Just considering Old Black's and Sun God's personalities alone—bringing a Sister along would surely lead her to collapse… especially Lin Miaomiao; if she learned bad habits from Old Black, how could I live peacefully? Thinking about this made me break into a cold sweat—yes! Absolutely cannot bring Lin Miaomiao!
At that moment my phone rang; surprisingly it was Lin Miaomiao calling. I quickly answered it.
"Hey, Miao Miao, what's up?"
"Little Anzi, do you have any plans for tonight?" Lin Miaomiao seemed quite happy.
"What's going on? I'm inviting a few buddies for dinner. By the way, Miao Miao, do you have any good places to recommend?"
"Really?" Lin Miaomiao sounded a bit disappointed. "Is it crowded?"
"A few people."
"Then I recommend you go for a buffet hot pot. You and Hong can eat vegetarian and still separate."
Right! How did I not think of that? With Uncle Xing's appetite, a buffet would definitely be worth it!
"Okay, thanks! Is there a good place for buffet around here?"
"There's one behind the school called Hao Ji Hot Pot. It's pretty good," Lin Miaomiao said. "Fifty bucks per person, plus the Broth Base, it won't cost much."
"Great, it's settled then. Are you coming?"
I still wanted to be polite.
"No, I have something else to do."
With the place decided, I informed the few who were coming, grabbed some money, and prepared to head over early.
There were several streets behind the school with many restaurants, but the most popular among students were hot pot places, especially buffet hot pot restaurants...
There were many buffet hot pot places opened; I found Lin Miaomiao's recommendation, Hao Ji, which was similar to other hot pot restaurants. It had two floors, with various ingredients on the first floor.
By the counter on the first floor, I saw a familiar face—Lin Miaomiao!
Lin Miaomiao What does this mean? She's actually recommending a restaurant to me.
Lin Miaomiao seems to have anticipated my arrival, standing on her tiptoes and waving at me.
"You've come."
"Yes."
"What about the things I wanted?" Lin Miaomiao asked.
"You students are really something, all meeting up at a hot pot restaurant."
"Give me a chance."
"How can I give you a chance?"
"I didn't have a chance before, but now I want to be a good person."
"A good person? Huh, Lin Miaomiao, are you feeling okay?" I felt these words sounded familiar... I reached out to check Lin Miaomiao's forehead: "What's wrong with you?"
"I came here for lunch with friends," Lin Miaomiao said, staring at me with a pitiful look. "I just didn't bring enough money, and I was hoping you'd send some over, so I asked them to leave first. But I called you several times and no one answered..."
Of course no one answered; I was in Underworld. Do you believe that?
"So, you tricked me into coming here to pay?" A few black lines appeared on my forehead...
"Do you have any money? Do you have any money?" Lin Miaomiao asked eagerly.
"No." I simply spread my hands, teasing her.
"Then why did you come?" Lin Miaomiao looked like she was about to cry from anxiety.
Seeing that she was about to cry, I forced a smile and paid the bill. Goodness, with what they had already paid, it totaled eight hundred! We nearly spent a thousand on one meal...
"Are we eating again tonight? It's on me!" I asked Lin Miaomiao. Since we ran into each other, I decided to bring her along.
"Where are we eating?"
"How about this place?" I pointed upstairs.
"Forget it, how about I take you to somewhere more unique?" Lin Miaomiao tempted me.
"No thanks, I'm a vegetarian. No matter how unique it is, it doesn't concern me." I wasn't tempted at all. No matter where I go, I eat vegetarian; even if it's unique, I won't be tempted...
"Alright then, how many of you are there?"
Old Black, Red Boy, Sun God, Uncle Xing, plus me and Lin Miaomiao. There were only six of us in total. To keep it simple for Lin Miaomiao, I said, "Not even ten, mostly my friends."
"Friends?" Lin Miaomiao squinted her eyes and asked mischievously, "Are they all Taoists?"
"Not really, but there's one with a particularly dark face that you should definitely avoid; he's bad luck."
"What kind of friends do you have?"
"..."
