Chapter 402 Gossip



After a brief silence, Pluto obviously understood the profound meaning of Chuchu's words.

Seeing that Hades hadn't come up with a solution for a while, Chuchu spoke again, "If he hadn't recovered his memories of the human world, how could he suddenly have the idea of ​​returning to the human world? After all, his life as a ghost messenger in Hell, although not ideal, was relatively stable. He was just a bloodthirsty general in the human world before, and being forced to become a ghost messenger, neither human nor ghost, you can imagine how uncomfortable he must be. Now that he suddenly wants to return to the human world, there must be something fishy going on."

The King of Hell's expression instantly turned stern, his eyes flashing with cold light. "Spirit Lord, you are absolutely right. I will immediately start a thorough investigation and will find the person who dared to awaken the ghost messenger's memory!"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Chu Chu stood up and said goodbye: "Lord Pluto, I will remember your thousand-year kindness to me and repay you slowly. But I am worried that the purpose of the person behind this is not simple, and I am afraid it will cause unrest in the six realms."

The Hades responded softly, his tone somewhat polite: "You are too polite, Lord Ling. This matter concerns the safety of the underworld. I will do my best."

Before she finished speaking, Chuchu's figure had already disappeared into the underworld. When she reappeared, she was already in a corner of the university campus. She found a bench and sat down, her brow furrowed, lost in thought.

Restoring the ghost messenger's memories would not only plunge the underworld into chaos, but could also potentially spread to the human realm. Humanity is inherently weak among the six realms, and if it were to encounter the intrusion of evil, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, the mastermind behind this must be identified and eliminated before it's too late.

However, Chuchu was clueless at the moment and was extremely anxious. At this moment, she thought of Rong Lin.

From ancient times to the present, whether in heaven or on earth, Rong Lin's wisdom and strategy are always among the best. Chu Chu believes that he must have a way to solve this problem.

So, she came to Rong Lin's office. As soon as she entered, she saw Rong Lin surrounded by a group of girls, chattering and asking questions.

Those girls all had infatuated eyes and smiled flatteringly, as if they wanted to praise Rong Lin to the sky.

"Look, the school beauty is here!" someone suddenly shouted.

"Yes, why is she here?" another girl asked curiously.

"She's dressed very casually, a light yellow sweater, light blue jeans, and white sneakers." Someone started to criticize Chuchu's outfit.

"The outfit is indeed very ordinary." Another girl agreed.

"But, she's good-looking, it's all thanks to her looks." Someone couldn't help but admire.

Chu Chu turned a deaf ear to these discussions, pushed the two girls aside and walked straight towards Rong Lin.

Her face was full of impatience, and she muttered to herself: These girls are so annoying. How come Rong Lin is not aloof at all, but is so patient in answering these boring questions.

Rong Lin smiled brightly when he saw Chu Chu approaching. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being admired by everyone. He didn't even look at Chu Chu and continued to patiently answer the girls' questions.

Chu Chu couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling even more upset. She took a deep breath and decided to speak directly: "Rong Lin, I have something to talk to you about."

Rong Lin had been so absorbed in handling some trivial matters that he hadn't noticed Chu Chu's arrival. It wasn't until she gently knocked on the door that he looked up and smiled at the girls chattering around the desk. "Okay, everyone, let's end our discussion here for now. We'll talk next time if you have any questions."

Although the girls looked unsatisfied, they still stood up obediently and left the office reluctantly. After seeing them leave, Rong Lin turned around and looked at Chu Chu with a gentle gaze: "Chu Chu, what's wrong? Is there something urgent that you want to talk to me about?"

Chuchu walked up to Rong Lin, her expression extremely serious. "Something happened in the underworld. Someone has restored the ghost messenger's memory. This may cause chaos in both the underworld and the human world. I need your help to find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible."

Rong Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned slightly: "That is the matter of the underworld. According to the rules, you and I, as gods, cannot easily interfere."

Chu Chu seemed a little anxious: "But Rong Lin, we are now in the human world. Those ghost messengers who have recovered their memories all want to be human again. You also know that with their abilities, ordinary people are simply unable to fight against them."

Rong Lin's expression remained calm, unwavering. "How many such cases have you discovered? Have these so-called ghost messengers done anything extreme after regaining their memories of the human world? We still need to further determine whether this incident is a mass one or a sudden one, right?"

Chu Chu was speechless for a moment after being blocked by Rong Lin's words. She paused, then said anxiously, "But Rong Lin, this is fundamentally wrong. It's like your heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly quit and want to go to the human world to enjoy themselves. What are you going to do?"

Rong Lin shook his head slightly, his eyes deep. "That's different. Whether it's becoming a god or an immortal, there are generally only two paths: either being born a god, or becoming a god through cultivation. Therefore, most of them don't hold out hope for humanity's endless reincarnation. The underworld is different. It's lifeless, dark, without sunlight, without passion, without emotion, without memory. It's simply an endless purgatory."

Chu Chu knew Rong Lin was about to start another long speech, and she couldn't help but feel helpless: "Why are you overthinking so much? If you're wrong, you're wrong. Are you going to say that they regained their memories and want to return to the human world because they are suffering in the underworld, and we have to stand by and watch? Rong Lin, if there really is trouble in the future, you and I will be responsible."

Rong Lin sighed, his tone still calm and patient: "Chu Chu, you don't look like a god who has lived for tens of thousands of years. You are so impatient and even more impatient than humans. I'm not saying that we should ignore it. I just think that we should first see how the underworld handles this matter. After all, the underworld also has its own rules and order. They may have their own solution."

Chu Chu was slightly startled. She looked at Rong Lin's calm and resolute eyes, and her impatience gradually subsided. She took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, you have a point. Let's see how the Underworld responds. But, Rong Lin, you must promise me that if the Underworld can't handle it, you must help."

Rong Lin smiled softly, reached out and patted Chuchu's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, Chuchu. If it really comes to that, I will definitely not stand idly by. Although we are gods, we must abide by the rules and cannot easily break the balance. However, if the underworld is really unable to cope, I will definitely do my best to help them."

Chu Chu didn't comment: "That's pretty good."

When Chuchu returned to the classroom, she was surrounded by a group of people: "Chuchu, have you and Professor Rong known each other for a long time?"

"You two seem very familiar with each other."

"Tell me quickly, when did you two meet?"
