Chapter 23: Progress Bar for Official Promotion 4/100
The two little girls seemed somewhat bewildered by their passing, their young spirits still holding hands.
"Sister, why are we lying on the ground? Why are Father and Mother lying there too? Are they sleeping?"
The two little girls were the children of a couple who were relatively well-off.
Su Zhenzhen snapped her fingers in front of them, "Hey! Look at me!"
The two little girls looked over at the same time, behaving very obediently.
"I'll ask you a few questions. Tell me, and I'll grant you one wish, okay?"
The slightly older child nodded. "Sister, you say it."
Why did you come here?
“My parents said that the older sister who died was so pitiful, and they wanted to burn lots and lots of paper money for her. They said that we children are easily offended by evil spirits and we shouldn’t come along. But my younger sister missed my mother, so I brought her over just before dawn.”
Both little girls were bound by a thread of karma, which could be considered an undeserved misfortune. But in this chaotic world, without their parents, the fate of the two little girls was truly uncertain.
Su Zhenzhen tried her best to explain the fact that they were dead in a way they could understand.
"Your parents have gone to a very far place, and they asked your sister to take you there as well. Do you have any other wishes?"
The younger girl seemed a little confused, "But my parents are lying there."
The older one seemed to understand but not quite, "Sister, are we dead? When I was little, the old lady in our village died. My mother said she went to a very far place."
As soon as she finished speaking, the causal threads binding her untied.
Su Zhenzhen nodded. "That's right, but don't be afraid, I will send you to be reincarnated."
"Can we still be with our parents?"
Su Zhenzhen told a white lie, "Of course you can."
The older sister tugged at her younger sister's hand. "Let's go find our parents. Don't keep them waiting too long."
The younger sister nodded, and the causal thread was untied.
Su Zhenzhen immediately opened the Cycle of Reincarnation and sent the two of them inside.
The progress bar for becoming a permanent employee shows 4/100.
Li Da, who had been watching all this, became fanatical. "You...you are perhaps a deity? With a celestial being like you assisting His Highness the Crown Prince, how can the lost kingdom not be restored?"
Su Zhenzhen had fully recovered. She jumped up and rushed over to give Li Da a sharp rap on the head.
"Stop acting crazy all day! If you have nothing better to do, bury these corpses, including the two little girls and their families."
Having witnessed the supernatural power, Li Da dared not act recklessly again, nor did he insist on carrying Jiang Sijin up. Instead, he picked up a hoe and went to dig a pit.
Su Zhenzhen jumped to the side of the coffin. Jiang Sijin, who was lying inside, had a normal skin color and had not started to grow hair wildly. It seemed that the whole thing was just to give her a couple of sales targets.
Carefully recall every item in the employee handbook in your mind. If there is a karmic connection between the deceased and their soul, then the connection is broken and the soul is sent into the cycle of reincarnation. At this point, the soul-crossing is successful and the performance is completed.
But Jiang Sijin's ghost went directly to the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.
What exactly is the problem?
Moreover, Jiang Sijin's soul has been reincarnated, so her body is essentially an empty delivery box. Why can she still cause trouble?
Unable to figure it out, Su Zhenzhen simply stopped thinking about it and decided to try and see if she could put it into the storage compartment.
Jiang Sijin couldn't accept the news, unsure whether it was good or bad.
She's still alive!
It's truly bizarre and strange.
Su Zhenzhen called on Old Man Bai to help bring Jiang Sijin out. This time, Jiang Sijin didn't attack Old Man Bai with her hair. It was unclear whether this was because of her hatred for her.
Li Da buried the body, and it was noon.
Su Zhenzhen, as always, said to the old man, "Let's figure out which way to go next?"
Before Old Man Bai could speak, Li Da interjected, "Let's go to the Northwest, where General Huo's remnants are located."
"Why are you yelling like that? And how do you know there are General Huo's remnants there?" Su Zhenzhen's first thought was of Chunzhi's troops. After all, it's too difficult to build something from scratch. That army looked like they were skilled in archery and horsemanship and were good at fighting.
“We previously sent secret guards to contact General Huo, hoping he would raise an army to establish Her Highness the Princess as Empress.”
Li Da's expression didn't seem like he was joking. Su Zhenzhen felt she was being too feudal. She never imagined that a eunuch would want a princess to become empress. Did he want to be a male concubine or a Zhao Gao (a notorious figure in Chinese mythology known for his naivety)?
"Did General Huo even acknowledge you?"
Li Da shook his head.
Su Zhenzhen spat, "Then what are you blabbering about? He ignored you when he was alive, but now that he's dead, do you think you can make his remaining soldiers listen to you just by going to his grave and kowtowing three times?"
“They’re not listening to me, they’re listening to His Highness the Crown Prince.” Li Da’s expression was fanatical. “Besides, with a deity present, they wouldn’t dare disobey.”
Su Zhenzhen gets goosebumps whenever she hears the term "immortal." No wonder the immortals in mythology don't care about worldly affairs and focus on cultivation; it turns out that the human world is too noisy and chaotic.
"Just a friendly reminder, the barbarians have breached the border, and we don't know if they've closed it yet. It's in the northwest. If you're tired of living, you can take Jiang Sijin's body with you. Anyway, we're heading south."
Before Li Da could respond, Su Zhenzhen called to Hensheng and Old Man Bai to head south.
"You need to know how to use the things I give you, understand? If you encounter this kind of troublemaker again, just shoot him dead." Su Zhenzhen lectured Hensheng, "I won't put the gun away for now, you can hold it yourself, consider it punishment for your behavior just now."
Hensheng didn't say a word more than necessary, and followed Su Zhenzhen with his submachine gun.
Su Zhenzhen thought to herself that Hensheng was indeed obedient, but he was too much of a saint, and he had also become stupid from reading too much about Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher from books.
Li Da quickly carried Jiang Sijin on his back and followed behind Su Zhenzhen with his wife.
Su Zhenzhen glanced back and said, "Tsk, not long ago you were saying that a woman's body is not to be defiled, but now you're carrying it yourself and you're doing just fine? It's just a bad habit. If you're going to lend a hand, then you'd better keep a flashlight on for me the whole way."
Hensheng nodded quickly, "I won't do it if you don't tell me."
The father and son had eaten their fill the night before and could still manage, so Su Zhenzhen kept going until dark before finally stopping to rest.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Li hadn't eaten, they had kept some distance, and they figured they wouldn't chase them anymore as it got dark.
Old Bai looked around at the surroundings and said, "If we go another five miles, there will be a small county town."
"Of course I'm going." Without saying a word, Su Zhenzhen picked up the flashlight and strode forward.
Hensheng and Old Man Bai followed closely behind.
On foggy nights, the moon is not visible, making it impossible to judge how long you've been walking.
Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen's powerful flashlight still provided ample light.
When the three arrived at the entrance of the county town, it seemed that the place was deserted.
"Strange, this county town is located in the south, and now the entire town has fled? Isn't the magistrate afraid that the central government will find fault with him?"
