Chapter 233: Immortal Palace
Jie Fangcheng was a very influential person. As soon as he came back, the news spread like wildfire. In the blink of an eye, even the four kings of hell knew about it.
When Xie Fangcheng left, he only left the report to Cui Jue, but as a qualified public official of the underworld, Cui Jue had already reported the reasons and purposes of Xie Fangcheng's departure.
Even though the ghost officials of the Qing faction clamor every day to expel Jie Fangcheng from the underworld in order to maintain the peace and stability of the underworld, the management of the underworld are well aware that without Jie Fangcheng, the entire underworld would be a mess.
He is like a person walking in a gray area, dealing with things that the rules cannot handle and protecting people that the rules cannot protect.
It's not like no one has mentioned it before, why should such an important task be given to Jie Fangcheng, a serious ghost? The Finance Department has recruited people before, but after so many years, only Jie Fangcheng is qualified for this position. He is powerful, but not inhumane. Most of the time he follows the rules, but a few times he doesn't stick to the rules. Even if some of the four Hades have some complaints about him, no one has ever said anything. What's wrong with what Jie Fangcheng did in the underworld?
Such an important person suddenly left the underworld and went to the game called "Three Thousand Worlds".
But what can be done? The King of Hell is not a fool. After careful consideration, everyone realized that in the entire underworld, only Jie Fangcheng has the ability to pass through the bottom of the underworld and go to the game to find the truth. In the past two months, everyone has held countless private meetings.
After all, the underworld has existed for so many years, and it will not fall apart immediately if someone is lost.
Therefore, during this period, the underworld restructured its personnel structure and recruited a large number of temporary workers and interns, and it quickly entered a new process.
But just when everyone had conceded that Jie Fangcheng would never come back - or that he might suddenly appear hundreds or thousands of years later, Jie Fangcheng suddenly came back.
The collapse of the small world was a matter of great importance. When several people heard that he was back, they immediately gathered in the conference room, fully expecting that he would come to the conference room as soon as possible to report to them about the situation of the game. However, after waiting for a long time, a ghost messenger stumbled in.
"My lord! Something bad has happened!"
Cui Jue immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Jie Fangcheng he...he..."
"He what?"
The next second, everyone finally knew "what he was".
"Hey!" Xie Fangcheng held the sword in one hand, pushed open the door of the conference room, and waved to everyone in the conference room: "You are all here, long time no see!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Cui Jue had a better relationship with him, so he quickly asked, "What's going on with you?"
Jie Fangcheng didn't waste time with them and simply stated his request: "I want to restart "Don't Answer"."
The meeting room fell silent, and Cui Jue couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"
"I want to restart 'Don't Answer'." Jie Fangcheng repeated patiently.
"What?"
Jie Fangcheng slammed the sword on the table.
Cui Jue nodded: "Oh, you want to restart "Don't Answer"."
This time everyone heard it clearly.
But the first thought that came to everyone's mind was "Why?"
Jie Fangcheng has been working in the underworld for so many years. Although he doesn't have much interaction with other people, they are still colleagues after all. He would not just start a fight without even giving an explanation.
So Jie Fangcheng briefly described his discoveries in the Three Thousand Worlds, and then briefly described his thoughts.
"So what you mean is that you hope that the players who came out of "Don't Answer" before can regain the props and skills in the game to protect the underworld?" The Chakravartin King Xue Li felt a little absurd.
He reminded Jie Fangcheng: "Let's not talk about anything else. The props and skills in that game only look powerful, and they are a little bit helpful for ordinary ghosts. However, you know the real strength of those things. They are completely vulnerable!"
Xie Fangcheng certainly knew this, so when Xue Li raised this question, Xie Fangcheng said, "So I think after restarting the game, we can increase the investment in Yin energy."
Since all props and skills are made of Yin Qi, Jie Fangcheng's idea is very simple. If the strength is insufficient, just increase the concentration of Yin Qi. When the concentration is high, how can the strength still be weak?
"That won't do." As soon as Jie Fangcheng finished speaking, someone raised an objection, "This group of players did not pass the assessment to become official employees of the underworld. You have to know that the emergence of "Don't Answer" is because too much authority was given to temporary workers, which led to such serious consequences!"
Jie Fangcheng did not tell them that "Don't Answer" might be the work of Dongyue God. It would be too troublesome to explain, and it was just a guess, and now he had no solid evidence. Therefore, in everyone's eyes, "Don't Answer" was still made by that programmer.
At this point, Jie Fangcheng was too lazy to argue with them and asked directly: "Then what do you think we should do? Do you have any better ideas?"
When he said this, everyone in the conference room was stunned and quickly understood what he meant.
Jie Fangcheng will eventually have to go to the game "Three Thousand Worlds". If he is not there, if a powerful player really enters this small world, or if something happens inside the world that causes it to collapse, can the current underworld alone withstand these dangers?
Although they didn't want to admit it, everyone had the same answer in their hearts.
"But this is too risky. No one can guarantee that those players are devoted to the underworld and want to be the 'guardian'."
There are too many players nowadays. If, as Jie Fangcheng said, the game is restarted and the investment of Yin Qi is increased, it is certainly possible that the strength of these players will be greatly improved in a short period of time. But at the same time, this is also a force that the underworld cannot control.
Jie Fangcheng had no better solution for this: "I don't understand personnel management, but this is the only solution I can think of right now."
He picked up the sword and stood up: "You guys think about it first. Lao Cui."
Cui Jue looked up blankly: "Hmm?"
"Where is the game now? Why don't you take me there first?"
"Oh oh." Cui Jue stood up. He looked at the King of Hell in the Fourth Palace hesitantly.
Xue Li nodded at him, and Cui Jue followed Jie Fangcheng out of the meeting room.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room door, Cui Jue immediately spoke: "I think what you said makes sense."
During this period of time, Judge Cui Jue had the most contact with players. The more he interacted with them, the more he understood that the choices made by players in the game were often not from their own heart, but were forced upon them.
To put it bluntly, these ghosts are no different from the ghosts who enter the underworld after dying in reality, except that they have bad luck and entered that cruel infinite game before entering the underworld.
The difference between good and evil in human beings is often just a matter of thought. Especially in a game like that, it is very unfair to keep calculating the evil things they have done in the game.
When Cui Jue said this, Jie Fangcheng beside him nodded in agreement.
But Cui Jue was still a little worried: "What if they don't agree?"
Jie Fangcheng waved the sword in his hand.
Cui Jue was stunned: "Are you really going to take action if I disagree?"
Jie Fangcheng said bluntly: "Of course it's a real fight. It's not the first time anyway."
In the game "Don't Answer", Jie Fangcheng once mentioned that there was someone in the underworld who wanted to start a revolution but failed in the end. This person was Jie Fangcheng himself.
At that time, he led eight hundred ghost generals and almost turned the entire underworld upside down.
But later everyone found out that they had chosen the wrong target, and the real enemy was the God Realm. So a group of people attacked the God Realm, and eventually forced the God Realm to change the rules of reincarnation for the people of Ru.
For this reason, in exchange, Jie Fangcheng accepted the seal.
When talking about taking action again, Jie Fangcheng looked calm, but it was obvious that he was not joking.
“You are really…” Cui Jue didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The two of them chatted as they came to the archives. After Cui Jue rummaged through the archives for a while, he took out a key.
"But let me tell you first, the game is no longer usable. After we seized it, the game data was almost completely destroyed. And the game was maintained by the Book of Life and Death, and now the Book of Life and Death is gone. If we really want to repair it, we don't have any good IT programmers, so it will probably take a long time."
Cui Jue said this and took Jie Fangcheng into the eighteen levels of hell.
Ever since "Don't Answer" was sealed, all related information and systems have been sealed in the eighteen levels of hell.
There is no need to worry about someone stealing this thing, because the database is severely damaged and cannot be started. It can be said that it is currently in a state of waste.
Jie Fangcheng had expected this: "Let's wait and see."
Cui Jue opened the room where the games were stored.
The high-tech scene that Jie Fangcheng had imagined did not appear. What caught his eyes was a scene that looked like some large online game server room. Countless shut down servers and computer cases were piled together, giving a sense of beauty of a clearance sale.
After this thing was confiscated, Cui Jue and his team also studied it. At this time, he skillfully connected it to the Yin Qi first - just like using electricity in the human world, all kinds of high-tech equipment in the underworld use Yin Qi.
In the underworld, although Yin energy is everywhere, the Yin energy in the air of the underworld is like free electrons. Even if it is abundant, it cannot be used directly. It needs to be converted into electronic Yin energy that can be used by machines using special devices.
At this time, Cui Jue turned on the power to the machine, and soon, the lights in the computer room and the surrounding servers lit up.
"We tried it, and we can open the game interface," Cui Jue said as he operated it. Soon, Jie Fangcheng heard a "ding" sound coming from the computer room.
[Ding——Welcome…to…the…copy…in progress]
[Ding——System…is searching…]
【bite……】
The intermittent system notification sounds showed that the game was indeed broken.
"Have you asked the programmer to take a look?" At this point, Jie Fangcheng asked again, "Where is the programmer who created this game?"
Cui Jue shook his head: "He is missing. His soul must have been scattered, because even Lord Xue can't find his soul."
“I see.”
Jie Fangcheng looked around.
These machines were particularly unfamiliar to him and were obviously not something he could control.
But he can't do it, there is something that should work.
——The Book of Life and Death.
Or it could be the white dream fish.
Although Jie Fangcheng was not quite sure what happened to this fish, he knew that only a thin cover of the Book of Life and Death remained, and the fish was able to drill into it and transform into a blank piece of paper, which obviously showed that it was related to the Book of Life and Death.
It’s just that Huimeng Fish is now being raised in Jie Fangcheng’s thinking space.
Jie Fangcheng is not Professor Zhang, who can enter and exit his thinking space at will.
Every time he was able to enter the thinking space before was basically under the guidance of Huimengyu... Of course, there was one special case.
In the kindergarten copy, Fangcheng's inner demons were not resolved, so he forced Zhang Siquan to see his memories, and ended up vomiting blood and passing out.
After falling into a coma, he also entered his own thinking space.
Do you want to try to touch your inner demon and see if you can return to the thinking space?
Hesitation was not something Jie Fangcheng would do, so he quickly closed his eyes.
The scenery in front of him kept changing, and in a flash, a familiar scene appeared in front of Jie Fangcheng.
This time...it was at Luoxia Pass.
"Your Highness!"
In his inner demons, Jie Fangcheng heard a familiar voice and turned his head abruptly.
The setting sun is blood-red.
"...Yeyi, Mingqi."
Qi Yeyi frowned, he walked forward and looked into the distance worriedly.
"That...that's an immortal! Your Highness, do we really want to stop the immortal?"
Jie Fangcheng followed his gaze and looked forward.
Not far from Luoxia Pass, an illusory fairy palace stands above the boundless sand city.
Da Ru was not a strong country. At that time, there were many powerful countries. Ru and Gan had been enemies since ancient times. Not long ago, Gan attacked Luoxia Pass by surprise. Taking advantage of the laxity of the generals inside the pass, it entered the pass and massacred all the people in the city.
The prince took the order, put on a silver helmet, and rushed a thousand miles to Luoxia Pass, where he defeated the enemy and killed the invaders.
The culture of cultivating immortals and seeking the truth in Ru country is too strong, and there are not many soldiers available. Jie Fangcheng has been guarding Luoxia Pass for more than half a year in order to train capable soldiers.
He had to fight back and drive the Kara army back to their capital.
But no one expected that... one day, a fairy palace appeared above the sand city of Kari Kingdom.
