"Repairing the soul..." Yama didn't take the incense from Jiang Li's hand, but instead revealed a half-smile. "Do you know what kind of existence that soul-repairing artifact is? You actually have designs on it?"
“Of course I know that it is Your Majesty’s treasure.” Jiang Li had only heard that this thing was in the hands of the King of Hell, but she didn’t know much about it. “Please help me out and lend it to me for a while. I’ll return it to you when I’m done.”
"You think you can borrow my soul-repairing treasure with this little bit of stuff?" Yama scoffed. "What are you thinking?"
"Well..." Jiang Li was a little unsure of what the King of Hell was thinking, so she said firmly, "You make your request. As long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it."
"This fragrance is nice, I like it very much..." Yama said calmly, "but this is not enough."
Jiang Li understood and immediately said, "I'll send you a box like this every month from now on!"
She makes all the incense herself; it's very easy!
Yama was satisfied with Jiang Li's attitude, but still continued, "But this is far from enough."
“What do you need? Just tell me!” Jiang Li said immediately.
As long as she can borrow the Soul-Repairing Artifact, she will not refuse, no matter how harsh the conditions are, as long as she can do it.
"A group of vengeful ghosts escaped from Hell some time ago." Yama looked at Jiang Li with a calm expression, then took out a roster and handed it to Jiang Li. "The names are all on this list. If you can capture all the vengeful ghosts on this list, I will lend you the Soul-Repairing Artifact."
Jiang Li looked at the thick stack of names and her lips twitched involuntarily.
"ran...ran that much?"
"Hmm." Yama's expression was also somewhat depressed.
Who could have imagined that so many vengeful ghosts would suddenly escape from prison?
"How did they do that?" Jiang Li asked, her face filled with disbelief. "Were all the guards dead?"
"That's because... the power of Hell has been weakened." Yama gave a bitter smile. "The one who governs Hell has been asleep for so many years, and the power to imprison those vengeful ghosts is gradually weakening. If that one doesn't wake up, the number of vengeful ghosts escaping from prison will only increase."
"The one who rules over Hell?" Jiang Li looked somewhat bewildered. "Isn't Hell governed by judges of each level? How come there's another one who rules over Hell?"
She genuinely didn't know that.
"Where do you think that soul-repairing treasure came from?" Yama looked at Jiang Li helplessly. "Thousands of years ago, a catastrophe occurred that nearly wiped out the entire underworld. It was that person who repaired the rift in hell with his own soul, but he himself fell into a deep sleep. For so many years, I have been collecting his soul fragments to repair his soul, but unfortunately... the progress is still..."
The thought of this gave Yama, the King of Hell, a terrible headache.
The collection of soul fragments is almost complete.
Under normal circumstances, a little imperfection won't affect anything.
But it was precisely because of that slight imperfection that he could not wake up.
possible……
The last bit that's missing is his main soul.
This can only be...
We'll see when the time is right and leave the rest to fate.
“Then…” Jiang Li frowned and looked at Yama, “You are already using that treasure to mend that person’s soul, how can you lend it to me?”
"As long as you can complete this task, I will reinforce his soul in a corner so it won't interfere with your use," Yama said calmly. "So... do you want to make this deal?"
Although the list is a bit long...
but……
If you work hard...
It's not impossible to accomplish.
"Alright!" Jiang Li said solemnly to Yama, "I agree."
"Alright, you can go back now." Yama smiled at Jiang Li again. "Let me remind you one more thing: those vengeful ghosts have now scattered to all corners of the human world, and many of them may have changed. As for how to find them, that depends on your skills."
“Um…” Jiang Li thought for a moment, then said, “I have a question…”
"What?"
"If I catch those vengeful ghosts, should I just beat them to a pulp, or bring them back for you to deal with?" Jiang Li asked seriously.
"Well..." Yama didn't think much of it and said quite decisively, "It depends on your mood. Anyway, we will check the list. And if you kill someone, one name will disappear from the list, so you don't have to worry about us denying it."
“Okay.” Jiang Li nodded. “Then I will bring a nameless register to exchange for the Soul-Repairing Artifact with you.”
"Alright," Yama agreed.
"Then I'll head back now."
"Don't forget the incense you promised to give me every month."
"Don't worry."
Jiang Li returned to Xuanmen with the register.
Compared to her solemn expression when she left, Jiang Li now...
It was noticeably easier.
Looking at that thick register, Jiang Li felt a little worried.
so much……
When will they be able to catch them all?
"Jiang Li, you're back?" Lu Jiming rushed over as soon as he saw Jiang Li. "Why are you sighing like that? What's wrong with my uncle? Is he still going to wake up?"
"Yes," Jiang Li replied weakly.
"If you can, why do you look like this?" Lu Jiming's face was full of suspicion. "You have such a long face, it makes me think my uncle will never wake up again."
"Look, do you see this?" Jiang Li waved the roster in her hand at Lu Jiming.
“I see, it’s just a book, isn’t it?” Lu Jiming said, then exclaimed, “I must say, it’s quite thick. The author is quite a writer.”
Jiang Li gave Lu Jiming a forced smile and said, "These are all evil spirits that need to be caught. Once you catch them, your uncle will be saved."
Lu Jiming: "..."
“Your uncle’s soul is missing. He can wake up after being repaired with the Soul Repairing Artifact.” Jiang Li explained simply, then waved the register in front of Lu Jiming. “This… is our deal. The other party lent me the Soul Repairing Artifact after the mission was completed.”
Lu Jiming felt his head buzzing a little. "So the current situation is that my uncle can definitely be saved, he'll definitely wake up, it's just..."
Lu Jiming took another deep look at the register, and said with a hint of melancholy, "Who knows when we'll catch all the vengeful ghosts on this register..."
Anyway, if he were to go, his uncle would probably never wake up again.
So many...
And they're all vengeful ghosts...
No one knows how powerful it is...
Did he complete his mission to save his uncle, or was he devoured by the vengeful ghost first...?
It's hard to say.
Just thinking about it, it's at the level of a heart attack.
“If we try…” Jiang Li gave Lu Jiming a deep look, “there is still hope…”
"Is it three to five years? Or thirty to fifty years?" Lu Jiming asked with a blank face.
Jiang Li tentatively asked, "Three to five months?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
I don't believe you for a second!
So many!
It would take three to five months to find them all!
