Chapter 75
The underworld, CPA branch office.
The legendary underworld is located under the nine springs on the eighteenth floor underground, and the real underworld is actually similar.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, accompanied by twisted eye-shaped whirlpools, spreading towards the infinity. The underworld, commonly known as the underworld, is the place of reincarnation in the East. It undertakes two important functions: the reincarnation of souls and the accommodation of evil spirits.
Walking along the neatly repaired Huangquan Road, the CPA wearing a fox mask appeared in front of the majestic gate of Fengdu, the capital of Huangquan, and went through a document check with the ghost guarding the gate.
The Black and White Impermanence who are gathering souls and claiming lives are hanging around in groups of three or four. The ghost messengers from the underworld have a wide range of choices, including humans who died suddenly, CPA people with special abilities, and various mysterious people. At first glance, some of the ghost messengers who are holding souls are even more terrifying than evil spirits.
The fox mask came here with the breath of a living person, but did not attract anyone's attention.
After all, as an official organization for people with special abilities, CPA shares the same goal as the current Lord of Hell, which is to maintain the fragile balance between the inner world and the outer world as much as possible.
The environment in the underworld is not good for the living. Every senior CPA specialist has come to Fengdu at least once because of their special abilities or because of their rotation at the CPA office in the underworld.
But the fox mask did not go to the CPA office in the underworld, but instead went to the Senluo Palace.
The Senluo Palace is where the Judge and the King of Hell judge the dead souls. Now it has been fully modernized and technologically advanced. Looking inside through the eerie outer shell of an ancient Chinese building in the Senluo Palace, one can even see various electronic light screens that can only be seen in many science fiction movies.
The Fengdu Ghost City has an extremely high concentration of mysteries, and it is much easier to realize those crazy mysterious technological ideas of Gongshu College than the CPA headquarters.
The fox mask did not stop, and five copper coins circled around him, covering his figure.
Although I have the authority, it will still be troublesome if I am seen by people, no, ghosts.
Lord Yama's office is located on the top floor of the Senluo Palace. The light in the underworld is too dim, so even Lord Yama has to turn on the lamp made of precious beads in order to work.
As soon as Fox Mask entered the office, he saw a black-haired young man lying on a luxurious Chinese-style desk, seemingly unconscious.
On the side of the young man, a silver-haired woman with a bun and wearing a black and white patterned skirt was sorting documents. A bright red red spider lily was pinned in her hair, and the expression on her bright face was not very good.
It’s Meng Po Meng Shuang.
With the promotion of the Mengpo Soup vending machine, Meng Shuang has moved from one social animal position to another. While making soup, she also has to help organize documents when the judge is too busy in court to take care of the King of Hell.
Fox Mask finally took off his mask. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the black-haired young man lying motionless on the table. Everything was self-explanatory: "Is he dead?"
The silver-haired woman's expression changed from gloomy to bright: "Probably not."
Perhaps she felt that these four words were too perfunctory, so she added: "You will know if you try to be a jerk, just like a certain Mr. Xie did."
After saying that, she walked towards the execution department with a pile of approved documents, leaving only the fox mask and the King of Hell, who was suspected to have died in the underworld, staring at each other.
Fox Mask: ...It seems that this sister is not in a good mood working overtime.
"Maybe it's because she's been working overtime for a whole month. I can understand that."
The black-haired young man raised his head from the table with a bang, his face was haggard, his long black hair was scattered on his shoulders, he looked like a female ghost in a horror movie in East J District, his grudge was so great that it could reach the sky and crush the underworld.
"The seal is loose?"
The fox mask tapped his own mask, and his expression changed from relaxed as if meeting an old acquaintance to solemn.
"It has become increasingly serious in recent years. If we want to solve it completely, I suspect that only that Immortal Lord can take action again."
The black-haired Lord Yama knocked his forehead weakly. Ever since the immortal king who was guarding the gate left, the things on the other side, all kinds of evil spirits and ghosts, had been constantly dispersing out from the door connected to Jiuyuan.
Jiuyuan is the deepest part of the underworld, and it is also a mysterious place where the underworld has sealed the evil ghosts for generations. The current King of Hell has just succeeded to the throne for a few hundred years, and he has no idea what kind of terrifying Shura there is in there. However, even with the intervention of CPA monarch-level psychics, those seals are becoming looser and looser uncontrollably.
There are always some things that are good at hiding themselves and coming out from the cracks, and the underworld is the first wall between the ground and the Nine Abyss.
Fox Mask shook his head: "But that Immortal Lord has left, and the current host of the Cretaceous Mist is just a high school student. Unless it is absolutely necessary, CPA will not grant this kind of responsibility to a high school student."
Yan Jun frowned, his expression bitter: "But... forget it, how much do all parties know now?"
"Cao Sheng's attitude is the same as CPA's. We can't confirm how deeply Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan are involved. They are probably as confused as we are."
The fox mask shook his head, and a rare expression of uncertainty appeared in his amber eyes.
"It's strange that the 'author' of Wheel of Fortune would be like this."
Yan Jun took a deep breath and looked like he was about to collapse.
"I am just an 'author' who has no control over anything, not fate itself."
The fox mask said helplessly.
He had never told anyone in CPA about his identity, but the client and transaction partner that Gu Nanfeng was looking for could not be just an ordinary psychic. It was just that his hidden identity was more special than Cao Sheng, one of CPA's trump cards.
"But... the most urgent task is to find the secret realm in Luosha City. If Ceope opens that secret realm, we will have two monsters to deal with."
His voice was dispersed by the cold wind whistling past the window, as if an invisible camera had suddenly zoomed away.
Outside the Senluo Palace, one could see a sea of blood-red flowers of the other shore spreading to the other side of the Wangchuan River. A cold wind whistled past, carrying with it ghosts with human faces.
At the end of the underworld, under the fluorescent sea-like tide, a huge, deep bronze door has slightly opened up a black crack that is difficult to see clearly.
At the CPA headquarters in the distant Luosu City, a call-up order signed by top brass in person was issued for the first time in decades. Countless intelligence and CPA high-level psychics rushed here. The mysterious concentration monitoring satellite map showed that the mysterious concentration deep in the snow-capped peaks of the vast uninhabited area was slowly rising in front of countless on-duty personnel, gradually reaching a terrifying height.
The secret realm deep in the snowy peaks is about to be opened.
Huddled in a hotel room in Luosu City, using binoculars to watch the CPA personnel coming and going, a man in a Tibetan robe poked his teammate beside him, and a strand of red hair appeared from under his hood.
"Good thing the middleman died. Otherwise, he would be the one facing so many CPAs now."
Monks seemed to sigh sincerely.
Skaia felt as if she was deaf: "What did you say?"
Monks spread his hands and said, "I am really happy for him. Think about it, the CPA is so big, but only a few people can enter the secret realm. In the end, I am afraid that the only ones who will fight us are those monarch-level monsters."
"I'm sincerely happy that he doesn't have to face the monster after falling into the sea of fire."
Monks pulled up the corner of his clothes and pretended to be sad, and heard Skaia's mouth twitching wildly: You are obviously gloating over this, right?
On the other side, Lantai No. 1 Middle School is safe and stable.
The temptation of the funded travel was really terrible. The three final exams were nothing in front of the four of them. The four of them frowned together and almost wanted to just take the exams casually and call it a day.
Cao Sheng left Lantai City a day early because of the CPA call-up order. Class 15 had long been accustomed to the occasional appearances of the deputy head teacher. Lu Ze also left in a hurry because of the siege on Ceob. Only the four members of the Supernatural Society looked at the textbooks face to face, preparing for the upcoming exam.
"Come on! Work hard! For the public-funded trip!"
Chu Zhongyuan gritted his teeth, encouraged himself, took a deep breath of Fengyoujing, and almost choked himself to death.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The physics exam bell rang, and the sound of pencil cases being put away and desks and chairs colliding could be heard. Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan high-fived each other before leaving: "Good luck on the exam!"
"Good luck on your exam, Xiao Ming."
Chu Zhongyuan blinked his eyes. As long as they could get through these two days, they would be able to enter a happy period of public-funded travel!
High school students feel that each day is like a year, but time does not obey human will and continues to move forward as usual.
The exam bell rang again and again, and the black signing pen was raised and lowered. Gu Qingming rubbed his wrist as he finished writing the short answer questions for the last geography subject. He looked at the densely written answer sheet with satisfaction. After checking that there were no mistakes in the multiple-choice questions, he began to daydream.
There is still half an hour before the exam ends...
Gu Qingming, who always races against time and seizes every opportunity to check himself before the end of the exam, unexpectedly and uncontrollably thinks of the Cretaceous Immortal King, about whom very little information remains.
The guardian who has been fighting against evil spirits in the depths of the Nine Abyss...
He didn't expect that his supernatural power actually came from such a respectable Immortal King... Then he will definitely live up to his mission in the future... and work hard to become a figure like the Immortal King.
After all, what CPA does is the same as what the immortal does.
And it would be great if I could help Teacher Cao on this trip to Luosha City.
Gu Qingming shook his head, calmed his restless heart, forced himself to calm down, and continued to look at the black pictures on the test paper.
Suddenly, those black and white pictures seemed to be filled with countless colors in an instant, and the real scenes that exist in the world appeared before my eyes.
At the arranged tables and chairs, high school students were writing furiously or thinking hard, each thinking about their own summer.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The bell that signaled the end of the exam rang, like some kind of declaration of liberation.
The invigilator walked around the examination room clockwise collecting the test papers and draft papers. Gu Qingming handed the answer sheet to the invigilator and looked up to meet a pair of smiling eyes outside the door.
Dark and gray, yet bright, it seems to be tempering the ever-vibrant summer.
Chu Zhongyuan handed in his paper a few minutes early and was leaning against the door frame, waving at him.
Gu Qingming curled the corners of his lips. The invigilator was sorting out the external test papers. The sound of tables and chairs moving could be heard. The warm sunlight outside the window rushed into the house, casting shadows on the window frames.
Gu Qingming met Chu Zhongyuan at the door and headed towards the next examination room to look for their next companion together.
The mottled sunlight sprinkled behind them, as if the road they passed by was as brilliant as broken gold.
The second year of high school ends at this moment, and this summer has just begun.
