Volume 1 Chapter 36: Judgment in the Underworld
Hearing another person coming in, Zhu Sheng quickly put away the glasses on the table, straightened his clothes, and tried to make himself look more realistic.
After the door opened, she deliberately raised her voice and shouted ferociously, "Who are you? Why don't you tell me your name?"
Unexpectedly, the person who came this time was Gu Chiye.
He walked leisurely to the center of the hall, stared at Prince Yan in front of him, then looked at the Ox Head beside him, and smiled after a while.
Zhu Sheng wasn't sure whether Gu Chiye was frightened or not, but he didn't intend to give up such a fun opportunity easily.
She slammed the stick hard and yelled again.
"This is the Yanwang Palace. We cannot allow you to be so rude. Tell me your name now!"
This time, Gu Chiye still ignored Zhu Sheng's shouting. He walked around the hall, seemingly looking for something.
It wasn't long before he found the horse-mask work uniform.
So, Gu Chiye put on his coat and mask, and naturally stood on the other side of Prince Yan.
"Lord Yan, I am a horse-faced guard. Would you not recognize me if I changed my job?"
His tone was cold and he instantly portrayed the ruthless official of the underworld.
After saying this, Gu Chiye glanced at Zhu Sheng thoughtfully.
Well, now the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters are back in place.
Seeing the other party doing the same things as himself, Zhu Sheng was speechless and amused.
It seems that Gu Chiye is quite smart and recognized Zhu Sheng who was pretending to be Niutou at a glance.
Not only was he not scared, he also followed Zhu Sheng's example and started playing house in the underworld.
It turns out that President Gu also has such a childish side.
Zhu Sheng vaguely felt that the expression under the mask must be very proud at this moment.
Since Gu Chiye didn't expose her, she didn't plan to expose Gu Chiye either.
If she has someone to play with, maybe she can have more fun next time.
So, the two of them tacitly played the roles of the left and right protectors, which confused Prince Yan on the stage.
He looked to the left and then to the right, and seeing the two men's serious work attitude, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
I heard before that there would be new characters of Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon, but weren’t they trained yet? How come they suddenly appeared?
Moreover, it looks a bit sloppy. How can I cooperate with it now?
At this point, the barrage was about to go crazy with laughter.
[One acting genius isn't enough, how come another one has come? The stage in the Yanwang Palace is getting more and more lively. ]
[This is too abstract. This is the first time I have seen a look of dilemma and quandary on Prince Yan's face.]
[I thought Mr. Gu would walk away speechless when he saw Sister Zhu's costume, but I didn't expect him to come and play in person. It turns out that he has such a strong desire to play, and it's a bit cute.]
[They are a young couple, what’s wrong with playing a bit of underworld cosplay? Besides, the bull head and horse face are a perfect match, how can they not be another beautiful scenery line of Yanwang Palace. ]
There were new footsteps at the door.
Zhu Sheng quickly made preparations, intending to make a big scene.
The people who came in this time were Lin Muyun and He Yao.
It seems that, unlike the plot of the original book, Lin Muyun did not meet Gu Chiye this time, but completed the whole journey with He Yao.
Lin Muyun looked to be in a bad mood. He was reluctantly dragged away by He Yao, complaining from time to time.
"Why is there so many forked roads in this haunted house? I didn't meet anyone else along the way. Did I take the right path?"
He Yao held Lin Muyun's hand, looking humble and careful, and he comforted his wife softly.
"Although there are several roads, they all lead in the same direction, so we shouldn't be wrong. We just got separated temporarily, and we'll see each other again soon after we get out of the haunted house."
Lin Muyun was still unhappy. She never expected that the person who was taken away in the hall was He Yao, not Gu Chiye.
God knows why He Yao suddenly ran to the front and made her mistakenly recognize the person.
After that, I never met anyone else in the haunted house except He Yao.
Lin Muyun sighed silently. It seemed that this trip to the haunted house was destined to be wasted.
However, Zhu Sheng would not be with Gu Chiye. With her playful nature, she might still be wandering around in some corner of the haunted house.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyun was filled with hatred again.
Originally, Zhu Sheng was invited to the show to highlight her gentleness and generosity, and He Yao was invited to the show to increase the popularity of the competition.
But now, these two people have become the biggest obstacles for Lin Muyun to get close to Gu Chiye.
Listening to He Yao's nagging, Lin Muyun felt annoyed again.
That’s enough, let’s get out of the haunted house as soon as possible.
Who knew that as soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a overwhelming light show from the underworld.
With the addition of two new members and a new way of interrogation, the NPCs in Yanwang Palace performed even more vigorously.
Under the blinding lights, countless ghost shadows danced, scaring Lin Muyun half to death right away.
She screamed and shrank into He Yao's arms, not daring to look outside any longer.
He Yao protected Lin Muyun with his whole body, ignoring the dancing ghosts, and slowly moved over.
At this moment, Zhu Sheng's urge to act came back. She knocked hard on the startle stick and shouted loudly in a rough voice.
"Lin Muyun, He Yao, when you see Prince Yan, why don't you kneel down quickly?"
Lin Muyun was so frightened that she completely lost the ability to think. When she heard someone calling her name, she looked up subconsciously and saw the hideous Prince Yan under the flashing red light.
She was so frightened that her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground, curled up into a ball. No matter how hard He Yao tried to pull her, she couldn't stand up.
Zhu Sheng saw that Lin Muyun had taken the bait, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued questioning.
"Lin Muyun, this book of life and death says that you did things you shouldn't have done and harmed people you shouldn't have harmed. Do you admit this accusation?"
Lin Muyun's face turned pale, and he immediately thought of his previous plan against He Yao and his evil intentions towards Zhu Sheng.
Just as she was about to deny it, she saw He Yao's blurry face in the light, and mistook it for a wronged ghost. She immediately panicked and started shouting without thinking.
"Master Yan Wang, I have no other choice. If this mistake is not corrected, my daughter will never be reconciled to this.
Please, for all the suffering I have gone through, please forgive me and don’t let this dirty thing get to me.”
After saying this, Lin Muyun buried his head in his knees and dared not raise his head again.
Looking at the panicked Lin Muyun, Gu Chiye felt a little bit reluctant, but at the same time he also felt strange.
Lin Muyun's answer had a clear direction. Could it be that she really did something unspeakable?
Looking at Lin Muyun who was so vicious, He Yao felt so distressed as if he was being stabbed by needles.
He ignored the cameras and angrily walked forward, demanding that the staff stop the farce.
Just when He Yao wanted to negotiate with Prince Yan, Zhu Sheng took off his mask and said expressionlessly: "Don't bother me, the exit is just ahead, let's go."
