Chapter 28 Chapter 28 You should stay, Your Excellency the Judge...
After receiving all 100 calls that day, You Yunyi came to the house in the world of the living.
Lin Yujing, who had just finished cooking, told him the good news: "Your 'performance' today was very good, especially regarding the serial murder case No. 008. The person in the mortal world hesitated and then decided to report it. Based on the subsequent course of their fate that has been changed, you will accumulate considerable merit from this case alone."
At work, he was forced to be very proactive due to psychological pressure. After work, You Yunyi leaned back on the sofa, feeling listless.
"Oh, that's good." You Yunyi nodded lazily.
Lin Yujing placed the food on the table, then came over to protect You Yunyi. "Do you want to eat now or later?"
You Yunyi raised an eyebrow: "Are you asking about the food, or you?"
Lin Yujing smiled. "It's all right. After all, eating in a homely atmosphere and eating me will help you to wake up and refresh your mind. Both are very beneficial."
…
Then, as usual, day after day, You Yunyi met with a hundred ghosts every day, listening to these souls with their own obsessions tell about the daily life, grudges and love stories, big and small, of their past. The serial killer that No. 008 Ye Hui had experienced that day was a rare "big case" and was not encountered very often.
Generally speaking, when people are alive and after they die, their ghosts only move around among men and women, relatives and friends, and their love lives and careers. From ancient times to the present, the only thing that has changed is the background of the times. You Yunyi has heard this for too long and too much, and even his emotions rarely fluctuate.
Until this day, the 100th meeting ended, it was time to get off work, and the extradition office closed.
Then Lin Yujing suddenly appeared in the office silently, hugged You Yunyi, and said with a smile: "Xiao You, two good news."
You Yunyi was startled, realizing something from Lin Yujing's tone. He blinked, "My merits..."
"Yes, I've saved enough, Xiaoyou." Lin Yujing kissed the corner of You Yunyi's lips, then moved a little to the side and kissed You Yunyi's lips.
You Yunyi showed an appropriate surprise in the gentle kiss - he was indeed a little happy. After all, he was not an extreme workaholic, and he couldn't help but feel that he had "made it". But he couldn't help but think of the fact that he and Lin Yujing would be separated, which he had already thought about before, so he felt a mixture of emotions.
But Lin Yujing didn't seem worried about the upcoming separation, so You Yunyi didn't want to appear too indecisive.
He looked up at Lin Yujing with joy: "So, after working continuously for a thousand years, I can finally go home and reincarnate? I can jump the queue in my situation, right? If I drink Meng Po soup and continue to queue on the other side of the bridge, it would be too pitiful."
Hearing this, Lin Yujing raised his eyebrows slightly, then his face softened and his tone was very kind as he replied, "No, the second good news I want to tell you is not that you can reincarnate immediately without waiting in line, but... Xiaoyou, you have been promoted to a formal employee of the Underworld, and the Extradition Office has also been transferred from a temporary office to a formal office. This will still be your territory from now on, and..."
You Yunyi, who had been a non-staff member for so many years, was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Yujing to talk about this next.
Although the underworld is under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell, Lin Yujing, the "establishment" is limited. Each position is fixed and arranged in advance. It has hardly changed since the existence of the underworld. After all, the ghost officials here have no lifespan or retirement.
If one wants to be officially "established", one must obtain the approval of Heaven, but Heaven is stubborn and generally unwilling to make changes, so in the past thousand years, Lin Yujing has not been able to make You Yunyi "regular".
"Becoming a regular person" means that You Yunyi will be able to eat the incense offered by the human world in the future, thereby strengthening his body - that is, strengthening his weak soul, which is much more difficult than getting the opportunity to reincarnate.
You Yun had considered that if he truly didn't accumulate enough merit, Lin Yujing might plead with the Heavenly Dao before he dissipated, seeking a chance for reincarnation. But he had never imagined that he could receive a chance for "normalization" from the merciless Heavenly Dao.
But now...
Lin Yujing took the judge's pen from her hair and placed it in You Yunyi's hand.
The Judge's Pen, which was no different from an ordinary brush in You Yunyi's hand, emitted a golden light as soon as it touched You Yunyi's palm, and then dissipated in You Yunyi's palm.
You Yunyi subconsciously thought about it, and the judge's pen appeared again as he wished.
"This..." You Yunyi looked at Lin Yujing in even greater shock.
Lin Yujing nodded: "Yes, it's yours."
"Xiao You, the position of Judge has been vacant in the Underworld since I became the King of Hell. Heaven has never arranged a suitable soul to fill the vacancy. Until now, the merits you have accumulated over the past thousand years, the souls you have saved, the obsessions you have resolved, the fates you have improved, and of course my strong recommendation have made Heaven no longer care about the 'irregularities' of the extradition office."
"From now on, Mr. You from the Extradition Department will also be the judge of the underworld."
You Yunyi quietly put the Judge's Pen away again. He pursed his lips and said, "I... am a little surprised. I thought you had already prepared yourself for separation, so you were so calm."
Lin Yujing smiled and said, "Didn't you expect that I never thought about parting with you?"
He raised his hand and gently touched You Yunyi's cheek. "I have so much to do in the underworld, and I can't do without you more than anything. Do you still want to sneak away and reincarnate? Now that you've been promoted, you must continue to work hard in the future. What's the saying in the world of the living... shine and contribute to your position?"
You Yunyi: "...Although I'm very happy to become an official ghost official of the underworld, after hearing your blessing, I suddenly feel that it would be better for me to reincarnate now. What should I do?"
Lin Yujing comforted him, "Even after reincarnation as a human, you'll have to work sooner or later. You should stay, Your Excellency the Judge. After all, it's rare to find a job where subordinates can freely exploit their superiors. It's rare to find a good-tempered leader like me."
You Yunyi was speechless: "Who of us is taking advantage of whom?"
In short, Mr. You from the Extradition Department has been promoted to a regular employee, and there is no need to worry about his soul being scattered. The vacancy of the judge of the underworld has finally been filled. This is also a happy thing for the ghost officials and ghost messengers in the underworld who have been accustomed to getting along with You Yunyi.
Not only is it emotionally happy, but also in terms of workload...
Colleagues at the Underworld Office expressed their overwhelming support for the Extradition Department's livestream: "With this livestream, our workload has been reduced! This is great!"
"That's right. There are fewer deceased people in the mortal world who need to be summoned, so I have more time to wander into the mortal world during work hours!"
"Shh—keep your voice down! How can you say something like this so loudly? Don't you know this is a gray area?!"
"It's okay, right? His Majesty the King of Hell is taking Mr. You with him... Your Excellency the Judge has a permanent residence in the mortal realm..."
"That's why it's a gray area! No one will report it, but don't make it public!"
"Ever since the Extradition Bureau's livestreaming room opened, the ghosts on Naihe Bridge have something to watch to entertain themselves, and they've stopped causing trouble. That's great, that's great."
In order to celebrate the "arrival" of Judge You, His Majesty the King of Hell showed his kindness and treated the entire underworld to a very delicious meal with candles and incense.
Even after the safety risks were eliminated, the work of the Extradition Department continued.
However, compared to before, You Yunyi, who has become a judge, discovered another difference - he can hear the voices of people in the mortal world when they offer him sacrifices.
You Yunyi had heard about this ability from "formal employees" like Meng Po before, but this was the first time he experienced it personally. He had been in a good mood recently, and he was extra curious. After get off work, he dragged Lin Yujing to see how the people in the mortal world worshipped him.
——Those dying people who had seen the live broadcast of his extradition office burned a lot of incense for him after they changed their fate against the will of heaven.
You Yunyi saw a mortal on earth who, in a fit of rage over being cheated on and heartbroken, nearly committed suicide. They burned paper and chanted, "Hello, Lord Death in the live studio, thank you for talking me down before I jumped off the bridge... It feels so good to be alive. After all that happened, I realized how impulsive I was. For such an unworthy relationship, I actually wanted to use my own death to avenge someone who had no heart. How foolish."
There are also people who have a lot of cats and dogs, and they pray whimsically: "Please, God of Death, please show up. Is my dog who passed away three years ago down there? Her name is Mimi. Can you let her join me in the live broadcast?"
Some even pleaded, "When can Lord Death broadcast the Book of Life and Death live? Please, please!"
You Yunyi "looked" at the crowd: "...Everyone is really thoughtful. By the way, why do you call me the God of Death?"
Lin Yujing smiled and said, "Mr. You from the Extradition Department, people in the mortal realm wouldn't be able to pronounce this, after all, it's a special matter in the underworld. Plus, with your livestream, everyone in the mortal realm who can see it is dying, so it's not surprising that they all think of you as the 'God of Death.'"
"If you don't like this title, you can say in your next livestream that you are the current Judge. That way, fewer people will call you the God of Death. After all, they'll know who you are. It doesn't matter if you don't say it. After all, any offerings made in your honor will go to you. The Underworld doesn't deduct service fees from its employees, so don't worry, Judge."
You Yunyi smiled when he heard this: "Then it's up to you. 'Death Live Room' is pretty cool too. The underworld calls me the Judge, and the living world guesses I'm the God of Death. It's quite interesting."
Lin Yujing kissed his cheek: "Okay, now that you've listened to all this long-winded offerings from the mortal world, isn't it time for me to spend the rest of my time?"
