Chapter 674 I Must Know What I’m Helping
A ball of black gas at the door slowly condensed into a human shape, and this time it felt much faster than before.
And the moment he saw Chen Jinyue, he spoke quickly.
"Don't blame me, my friend. I have no ill intentions."
“…”
Chen Jinyue didn't say anything.
He just looked at him warily, holding the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand.
Judge Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had at least given him a chance and did not attack him directly.
But he didn't dare to let go too soon, and instead immediately stated his intentions, "I've come here to discuss a solution that would satisfy both of you. Could you please tell me your name, young friend?"
He had just taken a closer look.
Constrained by this small world, he couldn't see any information from the other party.
A blank.
His status as a Divine Lord was no advantage in front of this mortal woman...
Chen Jinyue's expression remained unchanged, but he became alert in his heart. "Name, is it related to the method you want to discuss?"
Guessing that the other person might be from the same plane as you and even giving your name is not a good thing.
What's the difference between this and showing your neck to the god of death?
Chao Yan walked in suddenly, without actually thinking of an excuse.
"this……"
"If I understand correctly, the Divine Lord has a request for help! It wouldn't be easy to force the door open and come in, right? Do you really have to discuss this with me?"
Chen Jinyue didn't give him a chance to think.
The order Chao Yan received was to find out the other party's name.
But in fact.
Both he and the King of Hell knew it clearly.
There's no point in asking.
For such a person with immeasurable merits, regardless of whether she belongs to their world or not, the underworld's control over her is very limited.
"I asked for your name, young friend, to confirm my suspicions about whether your place belongs to another time and space. But what you said makes sense. Regardless of whether it is from another time and space, I have a request for you."
He simply stopped pestering her and asked directly, "I wonder if you still mean what you said earlier about doing your best to help desperate customers?"
Chen Jinyue sneered, "I'll do my best to help, but that doesn't mean I'll sacrifice myself."
Besides, this person is not her client.
"I won't let you bear the loss," Chao Yan said immediately, "The underworld has a magical object that can support the operation of this world. When the crisis is resolved, the underworld will return the merit, and you will return the magical object to me."
“…”
Chen Jinyue pursed his lips and remained silent.
The look in his eyes was filled with scrutiny.
I don’t know whether what the other party said is true or false.
Intuitively, she was more inclined to believe the other party. After all, he was an immortal, and there was no need to deceive her.
But she still felt that this matter was very strange.
If you are not an exchange customer...
So how did he get in?
Why could our master predict all this?
And for all her merits, she is willing to lend the divine object?
Seeing her silence, Chaoyan became nervous. If she was thrown out again and the door was closed again, neither he nor the King of Hell would be able to open it again.
He added, "If you can't understand what I'm saying, please ask your monk friend to come over. She should understand..."
"What kind of accident happened in the underworld that even the divine objects couldn't solve? Why do you insist on taking the merits from me? And you were looking for merits before, right? And you misunderstood that I stole them, so it was the merits from the underworld that were stolen?"
"no."
The other party's speculation made Chao Yan subconsciously deny it.
The incense in the underworld has stopped burning and the merits are lost. This matter is considered a top secret.
Apart from reporting to superiors, no further information can be disclosed to the outside world.
This is not just about the dignity of the underworld.
It also concerns the safety of all living beings.
Everyone knows.
All sins within the six realms will eventually return to the underworld, where the most heinous evil thoughts and the most bone-chilling murderous resentment exist.
All of this was originally suppressed by the orderly operation of the underworld.
But now the lack of merit has made the highest power in the underworld shaky. Once this news leaks out, won’t it give the evil spirits a chance to retaliate?
Chen Jinyue waited for him to continue, but nothing came of it, so he added, "What kind of accident was that? I'm willing to help, but I must know what I'm helping with. Every client who comes to me is very honest, and I hope that God will understand."
Chao Yan's pair of dark and cold eyes were fixed on the person opposite.
The woman's eyes were clear and bright, revealing sincerity.
She didn't lie to him.
The merits here are so profound that it is enough to show that her mind is pure and rarely tainted by sinful desires.
It is no exaggeration to say that her ancestors, generation after generation, were all people of great merit.
Such a person.
With the gratitude of all living beings and the approval of Heaven, we can try to trust...
Time waits for no one.
He did not choose to go back to report to the King of Hell, but instead took out the Judge's Pen, a magical artifact surrounded by a golden halo, and slowly stopped in front of Chen Jinyue.
"This matter is top secret. Can you please swear before the artifact that you will not reveal a single word of what happened today to anyone, including your monk friend?"
“…”
Chen Jinyue felt the strange yet familiar breath.
She had seen it.
Constraints of Heaven.
I have reached this agreement with Yu Xincheng before.
But now, seeing how serious the other party was, she felt a little nervous.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Yu Xincheng treats even a big shot at the level of the judge of the underworld with great respect, and the troubles he faces are unimaginable to her.
Sometimes, knowing something beyond your comprehension only adds to your troubles...
"This is a Heavenly Rule. Once established, it must never be broken. Furthermore, Heavenly Rule is only effective for the righteous. You need not suspect I have ulterior motives."
Chao Yan thought she was scared and explained patiently.
Chen Jinyue hesitated for only a moment before reaching out his hand, and a golden mark appeared in his consciousness.
This matter has come to my doorstep and there is no way to get rid of it.
Being able to figure out the whole story will give you a better understanding.
She figured it out quickly.
Just keep it secret.
Besides, she herself is not a gossipy person, at least she will not be ignorant of the importance of major issues.
Constraints achieved.
Chao Yan then told him the situation with confidence.
"A few days ago, a foolish cultivator in the mortal world opened the Ghost Gate and threw down a large number of vengeful souls and evil ghosts at once. They were all old evil ghosts, many of whom could not remember their past lives. The underworld's data entry system was paralyzed..."
This opening remark made Chen Jinyue's brain explode.
Grass.
It’s really the same thing!
But didn’t Yu Xincheng say that it was unlikely to cause serious consequences?
Sure enough, listening to Chao Yan's story, he talked about the follow-up of the incident.
It wasn't a serious matter.
But the serious thing is that these sudden chaos have triggered problems that the underworld had ignored in its early years.
Communicate with the upper realm.
Chao Yan tried to use the calmest tone possible, "Communication between the Underworld and the Upper Realm has always been limited. Thousands of years of slackness have made it impossible to communicate. Therefore, we need more merit points to drive the artifact to open the channel..."
He confessed.
But not completely honest.
After all, the impact of this matter is too great.
None of the six realms can bear the consequences.
So he changed his rhetoric and shifted the main contradiction.
If you conceal the current situation in the underworld, you may not be able to suppress the riot of ghosts, and you will end up slacking off and working in the underworld, and you may face punishment.
He was certain that Chen Jinyue, a mere mortal, did not know the importance and source of the merits of the underworld, and would not be able to guess the truth.
He was even thoughtful enough to explain things in an easy-to-understand way.
"For example, you rarely communicate with your boss, but one day you realize you've deleted him. Wouldn't that be a big deal? So, in this situation, you would definitely add him back without making a fuss!"
“…”
