Introduction: The Ghost Gate Security Bureau's Special Strategic Support Team is an indispensable force within the entire underworld. They not only handle internal affairs within the underworld, but also frequently patrol the underworld on its behalf, maintaining law and order in the world of the dead. The black Mao suits worn by the team members, hidden within their ghostly forms, are also a symbol of death in the myths and legends of many civilizations.
Lu Wenwu disabled the Scarlet Abyss's transmogrification function, changed his clothes with one click, and put on the pitch-black robe.
The size automatically fits the body and is extremely comfortable to wear.
In addition, he also felt as if his spirit was in a hot spring, his whole body was warm, and he felt indescribably comfortable and free.
Originally, Lu Wenwu needed to expend a certain amount of physical strength to resist the erosion of the yin and ghost energy in the underworld.
But now, this place seemed to have become a place that made him feel more comfortable than the world of the living.
The omnipresent thick yin energy wrapped around his body, slowly helping him recover from both mental and physical fatigue.
Comfortable!
Lu Wenwu happily felt the feeling that this Zhongshan suit brought him, and reached out to take another thing handed to him by Lao Wang.
This is something that looks like a watch.
As soon as it approached Lu Wenwu's wrist, it automatically sucked up.
Lu Wenwu felt his soul being scanned by something, and then the watch automatically turned on, projecting a large amount of information in front of his eyes.
This is directly reflected in the spiritual vision of the soul, and cannot be seen by others.
Lao Wang explained, "This is the personal terminal for each of our team members. Contacts, tasks, information, and some other miscellaneous information are all in it."
"Mind control. The soul aura and soul fluctuations scanned and recorded are the power-on password. This can also be used as a mobile phone."
"You just came down from the mortal realm, so you should be very familiar with these things. I won't go into too much detail. Go back and study it yourself."
Indeed, this thing is very simple to operate. Lu Wenwu figured it out after fiddling with it for a few times.
However, he personally is more accustomed to using traditional mobile phones.
This kind of wristwatch-style personal terminal is also available on Blue Star, but he has never been used to it, so he didn't change it. Anyway, he wouldn't need it when doing dungeons.
After registering and receiving the two most important items, Lao Wang took Lu Wenwu to the dazzling array of weapons racks.
He waved his hand, and a huge circle of light flashing appeared, framing a range.
"You can pick any three items from here to carry as regular weapons or props. If they are damaged or lost, please submit a report and apply for a replacement immediately. You can return later for free."
"If you encounter some missions that require equipment, you can come here to collect some equipment before the mission. As long as you don't take too much or lose too much at once, basically no one will care about it."
"But remember, every piece of equipment must be recorded truthfully, malicious damage is not allowed, and reselling is strictly prohibited."
After hearing what Lao Wang said, Lu Wenwu immediately gave up his plan of taking a hundred or eighty pieces and eating them all.
After a while of selection, he chose the classic panacea three-piece set of the ghost messenger.
Soul-catching rope, mourning stick, soul-binding chain.
According to Lao Wang, as long as the soul is locked with the soul-binding chain, the opponent below the god level will have absolutely no ability to escape.
This prop, which has been polished for many years by the scientific research department of the underworld, can basically deal with all souls, no matter which system it comes from.
The Soul-Catching Rope and the Mourning Stick are standard epic equipment, and are also standard equipment that everyone on the Black and White Impermanence side has one.
Lu Wenwu was mainly interested in their special attack effects against soul bodies.
Use the Soul-Hooking Rope in your left hand to control the opponent's soul and pull it over, use the Mourning Stick in your right hand to buff the opponent's head and stun it, and finally take out the Soul-Binding Chain to lock it up.
A classic and smooth combo to deal with troublesome ghosts.
Unpretentious, but useful.
The ghost officers will not talk to you about human rights, rule of law, non-harmful weapons and so on like the police officers in China.
What matters in the underworld is efficiency.
There is no such thing as comfort, appeasement, or exhortation.
If there are ghosts who resist the law violently, then I will directly enforce the law violently and see who is more violent.
Criminals must be dealt with hard and decisively!
What if the criminal's ghost died in the process of law enforcement?
Then just consider yourself unlucky.
After receiving the equipment, Lao Wang took Lu Wenwu to the big tomb for a walk, familiarized himself with the place, learned about the situation in the special strategic support team, and assigned him a dormitory.
A dormitory with two bedrooms and a living room, about 100 square meters, is definitely not small.
As for the others.
It's gone!
This is considered as formal employment.
Office?
Punch in at work?
Does not exist.
What's so good about this position?
If there is a mission, then go on the mission. If there is no mission, then do whatever you want in the dormitory. No one will care.
If you are hungry, there is a canteen in the grave. It is free and the welfare benefits are quite good.
Just when Lu Wenwu was wondering whether he should knead some dough and set up a stall to sell egg-filled pancakes to earn some extra money, a notification came from his communication terminal.
[You have a new designated task: Alien Invasive Species Safety Management Office]
Wow, in the end it was that female ghost who got it?
And what the hell is this “are you dead?”!
Lu Wenwu clicked on the message that came along with the mission information.
If you have any small animals, please come to the waiting area at the Ghost Gate. If you catch them alive or kill them, they will be counted as a subsidy and are all yours.
Such simple and direct news!
Lu Wenwu checked the mission information.
It said that there was a bastard who was smuggling a three-headed hellhound and a four-headed chimera. However, when he was trying to sneak across the Beiyin Mountain, his car overturned and he was killed by some unknown monster inside.
Now a group of unrestrained three-headed dogs and chimeras are having fun on the Shady Mountain. The souls of many ordinary creatures have been devoured and they urgently need to be captured or killed on the spot.
After the mission is completed, the shortest vacation you can enjoy is equal to the mission execution date, depending on whether there is an emergency call-up mission.
Arriving at the gate of Ghost City, Lu Wenwu saw from a distance the beautiful young female ghost wearing a tight black combat uniform, waving at him.
"Tyrannosaurus, this way."
"Here I come."
Lu Wenwu stepped forward and his figure turned into a stream of light and flew past.
The Eye of Insight shows that this person's level is not very high, only A-level.
No wonder we need to call for assistance from the strategic support department.
When chatting with Lao Wang earlier, Lu Wenwu also had a general impression of the various departments of Gui'an.
Basically, every department has several very powerful experts, but these experts are often assigned to various important positions and cannot be easily dispatched except for non-important tasks.
When encountering some tasks that are relatively important but not that important, ordinary members are willing but unable to do so, and they need to draw people from the Special Strategic Support Group to provide assistance.
"Sister, what's your name?"
"Ju Li, just call me Sister Li."
"Sister Li."
Lu Wenwu said.
It has been some time since he came to the underworld, and he has some understanding of the old ghosts' habits of addressing each other.
In the underworld, unless one can be identified as an octogenarian by appearance, it is correct for the younger generation to call the older generation "brother" or "sister".
Anyway, since the other party doesn't say anything, no one knows how long he has been down there.
Who can tell the age of the soul?
"Let's go, let's go on the paper boat." Ju Li waved her hand, signaling them to follow. "Have you seen the mission information? There are thirteen three-headed hellhounds in total, each of which is a weaker A-level strength, plus two A+-level four-headed chimeras. Are you confident?"
"Absolutely." Lu Wenwu nodded slightly.
If it is a BOSS template, it may be more troublesome.
Ordinary A-level is not really a problem for him now.
As for the A+ level four-headed Chimera, it has the Sun's True Fire, so you just have to fight it hard. Although this thing's special attack against dark creatures is not as outrageous as against souls, it can still be considered a restraint.
When the man and the ghost arrived at the huge square behind the Ghost Gate, Lu Wenwu was suddenly attracted by a burst of English.
He turned his head in the direction of the sound and found that the red and yellow hair on the heads of those foreigners looked somewhat familiar.
I think they were the ones who surrounded the monument and kowtowed while shouting “My God!” on the Moon Worship Festival a while ago?
"Sister Li, what are they doing?"
Ju Li took a peek and laughed, "You mean those foreign devils? Forget about it. Didn't the Yanluo District monument burn down on Moon Worship Festival? It caused a huge commotion, and those guys were one of the culprits."
"What did they do?" Lu Wenwu was a little curious.
Ju Li sighed. "Don't mention it. This was a completely coincidental accident. An old man who loved flying kites ordered a super-large kite from Wanhu Kite Shop that day."
"This old man took advantage of the Moon Worship Festival to release a strong dark wind outside, but halfway through, his ghost energy ran out and he couldn't hold it back anymore, so he was directly carried away."
"As luck would have it, when he was carried by the strong dark wind to the top of the monument, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck him and the kite together. It landed right on the monument and immediately caught fire."
"The monument's designer is still slamming the security department. He says he's been designing for a lifetime and a half, and he never imagined someone could climb to the top of the monument, trigger a lightning strike, and then set it on fire. This can't be considered a design error, and he can't be blamed."
"This is a bit unlucky." Lu Wenwu couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Ju Li led Lu Wenwu onto the paper boat, sat down, and fastened their seatbelts before continuing, "Wasn't that large monument completely on fire? When those foreign devils passed by, they saw—oh wow! A torch tree! The East actually has customs similar to our Western hell! And then they started worshipping right there."
"Some new ghosts came to join in the fun. It was their first time celebrating the Moon Worship Festival and they didn't know what was going on. They saw the ghosts worshipping fiercely there and thought it was a festival custom in the underworld, so they followed those foreign ghosts and worshipped too."
"Aren't there suddenly more ghosts? Everyone has a herd mentality. Those old ghosts who are almost crazy about merits thought that the underworld had launched some special limited-time merit event that they didn't know about, so they immediately followed suit."
"And so the rumor spread—that this was real, that not only was Moon Worship Festival a holiday, but it also increased merit? Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until the entire square was filled with people kneeling!"
"What do you mean by this?"
It was obvious that Ju Li was also pulled into overtime rotation at that time. The resentment on her face was so strong that it almost materialized. Even the action of launching the paper boat was much more violent. It shot out with a slingshot.
Lu Wenwu sat in the passenger seat and experienced the female driver's boat racing, while also studying some high-end standard equipment in the super-time and space arsenal in front of him.

These two are just the two most commonly used weapons, and they are obviously placed on the outermost side, in the most convenient position to hold.
In addition, there are also underworld hot weapons such as high-powered rocket launchers, grenades, large-caliber sniper rifles, etc.
Although these things appear to be exactly the same as the equipment in the mortal world, they are just large stone-throwing props that have been blessed.
But in fact, the principles behind it are completely different.
Compared with gunpowder kinetic weapons, the thermal weapons of the underworld are actually more like "light energy weapons", "miniature magic scrolls" or "photolithographic talismans", which are a combination of part of the technology of the world and the immortal cultivation system.
Taking the essence and removing the dross, the main focus is on the dual cultivation of physical and demonic elements.
Looking at the dazzling array of equipment in the trans-time and space arsenal, Lu Wenwu suddenly remembered the Master Ruhuo he had met before, and felt that he had an intuitive understanding of the modernization of the underworld.
It might be quite interesting if I could meet a top-level gunner or mechanic when I go to a dungeon in the future.
The paper boat was moving very fast. It didn't take long before it passed the Ghost Realm Fort toll station.
Ju Li sailed the paper boat onto the main channel of the Wangchuan River.
Listening to the never-ending wailing below, the man and the ghost used Gui An's authority to take the fast lane, going upstream along the endless blood-red river, and rushing to Beiyin Mountain at the fastest speed.
Sitting on the paper boat and looking down, Lu Wenwu could see many anglers carrying small stools and their full sets of equipment happily fishing in the tributaries of the Wangchuan River.
Even though it is broad daylight, they are not afraid, because fishing is the most important part of their lives!
As we all know, wherever there is water, no matter how outrageous the place is, there will be wild anglers randomly appearing.
This is the spirit of a fisherman showing his rod!
Even if the sky is filled with yang energy, even if you are imprisoned, even if you are a complete novice at fishing, as long as there is water, you must take out your fishing rod!
Even if you return empty-handed, you will be filled with honor!
Even if we have already reached the underworld and crossed the Naihe Bridge, we fishermen must still cast a rod into the Wangchuan River.
Of course, the underworld doesn’t actually care about the fisherman fishing in the Forgetful River.
Not only do they ignore it, they even encourage it.
For fish, those fishing masters who set bait for fish are definitely worthy of the title of immortals.
Every time they go fishing, it's like famine relief!
There were all kinds of delicious food in large quantities, which made the fish souls in the Wangchuan River very fat and stuffed.
There is even a legend circulating among fish in the underworld and in the world of the living:
Whenever the Immortal of Floating Nests descends, one only needs to sacrifice a fish from the tribe every few times and have it take the bait. The happy Immortal of Floating Nests will then bestow an endless supply of delicious food upon the entire tribe.
If you really can't bear to sacrifice your tribe members, you can also offer as sacrifice the silicone Tai Sui picked up from the water, the bodies of other immortals, creations that imitate the bodies of immortals, the corpses of dead fish from the tribe, etc.
However, this action may cause the wrath of the Immortal, and you will never return.
Will a fisherman lose merit and increase his karma if he does not release the fish after fishing in the underworld?
Of course.
But they gain more merit from "giving".
In order to catch a few small fish, we have to use bait weighing dozens of kilograms!
In comparison, the points earned from fishing can be completely ignored.
They are all walking benefactors!
Lu Wenwu glanced down.
Wow! The entire Wangchuan River and its tributaries were ablaze with golden light, a truly divine paradise.
It's all due to the golden light of merit of the fishermen!
Those who know that this is a group of anglers fishing on the Wangchuan River, while those who don’t know would think they have arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple.
However, generally speaking, fishermen will try their best to find ways to cover up the golden light of merit emitted from their ghost bodies.
The main reason is that the brighter the golden light of merit is, the more times this ghost has failed, which is very embarrassing in front of other fishermen.
Now Lu Wenwu was thinking, what if Jingwei also became addicted to fishing one day?
Could she be canonized as a saint for her merits?
Just as Lu Wenwu was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a chaotic shouting coming from a branch.
He looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw dozens of ghosts angrily beating three ghosts who were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands and trembling.
The appearance was so miserable that it was almost unbearable to pass the review.
Lu Wenwu quickly patted Ju Li on the shoulder and said, "Sister Li, stop for a moment. There's a ghost fight going on over there. Should we go over and take a look? If they keep fighting, they might die."
"What the hell, they're brawling here in broad daylight and low wind?"
Ju Li raised her eyebrows, and immediately changed direction with a handsome drift, sounded the alarm and headed straight for the scene of the fight.
"Those of you guys down there fighting, surrender! Put your hands on your heads and squat where you are!"
A cold voice and the piercing sound of an alarm cut through the sky.
The group of angry old ghosts below looked up and saw that it was a paper boat with Gui Anhui Ji. They were immediately frightened and turned pale, and immediately did as they were told.
Lu Wenwu jumped down from the air with a knee-breaking superhero-style landing and landed in the center of the group of ghosts.
As soon as he landed, he thought that the ghost with the afro in front of him seemed a little familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, isn't this the unlucky guy who was almost struck to death on the big monument?
"You were lucky enough to avoid being struck by the thunder, yet you're here to start a fight right after you've been released from the hospital?" Lu Wenwu asked directly, "Do you really want to stay in Gui'an's prison for a while?"
"Master Ghost Messenger? Do you know me?"
The old ghost was stunned for a moment, and then immediately pointed at the three ghosts who were beaten beyond recognition and yelled.
"Sir! No, Master! Master of Heaven! You must make the decision for me, the little devil!"
"These three are the culprits who nearly killed me that day and destroyed the monument! We're not ganging up on them, we just want to catch them and take them to the City God Temple!"
At this time, Ju Li also came over and asked in a businesslike manner, "What's going on? Explain clearly?"
The old ghost burst into tears and narrated the whole story with tears and snot.
It turns out that these three grandsons are all good at electrofishing.
On the day of the Moon Worship Festival, they were debugging their newly developed electric fishing equipment, but there was a problem in the guidance, which caused the Yintian Thunder to be directly attracted by Lao Gui's kite.
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck, and the old ghost was almost killed, and the big monument was burned.
These three electric fish hunters had no self-awareness at all, but were instead complacent about the powerful machine they had developed.
As a result, I just wanted to test the power of the new machine today.
It just so happened that Lao Gui had just returned from the underworld after recovering and was out fishing with his friends to relax, and the two sides bumped into each other head-on.
Lao Gui recognized at a glance that the other party's method of attracting Yintian Lei was exactly the same as before.
Adding to the natural hatred between fishermen and electric fishermen, Lao Gui shouted and called all the fishermen nearby, surrounded the three of them and beat them up!
These three bastards confessed everything they had done during the beating.
