Whether you can believe her or not, you have to follow her for now.
"Let's go, I'll take you back first," Crescent Moon called to them.
The two followed behind.
"Su Deng..." Qin Xian said with some worry, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Our task is to find jobs and meet KPIs. Is following her even useful?"
Su Deng clicked her tongue. "Who knows?"
But she suddenly realized that this notebook was actually quite interesting.
"How did you two die?" Crescent Moon suddenly asked curiously.
"us……"
"He was murdered."
Su Deng picked up where Qin Xian left off.
"Killed?" Crescent Moon turned her head, looking them up and down. "How were you killed? Why don't you have any wounds on your bodies?"
"Poisoning," Su Deng lied without batting an eye.
"No wonder." Crescent Moon understood, letting out a barely audible sigh. "That's wonderful."
Su Deng walked alongside her, saying, "Now that we've joined you, you have to tell us what the underworld is like, who you really are, and why you recruited us."
"The underworld you know, is it the eighteen levels of hell, or the Black and White Impermanence and Yama King from TV dramas?"
"Yes." Before arriving here, Qin Xian had thought the same thing: "And there are Ox-Head and Horse-Face! They're all fierce and menacing!"
"Tsk."
Crescent Moon scoffed, "Times are changing. The Underworld is no longer the same old thing. Especially after the new King of the Underworld took office, he began to reform the Underworld by referring to the postmodern human world."
After a person dies in the human world, their soul will pass through the underworld.
Then the underworld will judge their sins and good deeds based on everything in their lives, and determine whether they are qualified to be reincarnated.
What kind of reincarnation can one be born into?
"In order to reform, the ghosts of those who conducted scientific research or had the ability in the mortal world were left in the underworld by Hades. It was called an invitation, and it took hundreds of years to build this magnificent underworld."
Qin Xian was surprised, "Several hundred years?"
Crescent Moon said, "The flow of time in the mortal world and the underworld is different."
Su Deng pondered, "Could the reason why there are so many reincarnation slots be because of the reforms?"
"You're quite clever." Crescent Moon admired her. "For the sake of reform, the existence and operation of the Underworld are almost the same as the mortal world, but it is more advanced than the mortal world."
After all, the flow of time is different, and those who come to the underworld are all ghosts.
When she said this, Crescent Moon's tone was a little disdainful, "Because of this, the old ghost doesn't allow some ghosts to reincarnate, but makes them stay here to build the new underworld."
Since ghosts don't die, they can keep living and researching indefinitely.
Su Deng raised an eyebrow, "Then wouldn't you Hades be like a heartless boss who exploits your employees?"
And they're all ghosts, so no matter how much you exploit them, you can't kill them.
This is practically a perpetual motion machine.
Crescent Moon retorted, "Our Lord Hades would never be so heartless!"
Qin Xian was speechless. "Then you can say it over there."
"I'm talking about the old ghost," Crescent Moon corrected them. "The old ghost and Hades are not the same being."
Su Deng clicked her tongue and said, "Your underworld is quite complicated."
"Actually, it's not complicated." Crescent Moon told them this, her expression turning somewhat cold. "The reason Hades reformed the Underworld was because she had lived for too long and found it too boring, so she wanted to make the Underworld progress with the times. But more than two hundred years ago, Hades was imprisoned."
"What?" Qin Xian's eyes widened.
Su Deng turned her head to look at her.
Crescent Moon crossed her arms, her solid-colored dress making her appear even whiter. She sneered, "More than two hundred years ago, the old ghost suddenly took office, saying that the King of the Underworld was going into seclusion to cultivate, and asked him to temporarily take charge of the Underworld. But I know that he was the one who imprisoned the King of the Underworld."
"Isn't this a bit outrageous?" Qin Xian was skeptical. "Someone actually dares to imprison Hades?"
"No one knows how long Hades has lived. He is indeed very powerful, which is why none of the underworld officials believe he is imprisoned," Crescent Moon said.
Su Deng said slowly, "Maybe he really is in seclusion cultivating."
"Impossible." Crescent Moon denied without hesitation. "The King of the Underworld is so powerful that no ghost in the entire Underworld can rival him. Why would he need to cultivate? Besides, he just found something fun to do because of the reforms and is having a great time. How could he suddenly go into seclusion to cultivate?"
"Then your argument is even less valid." Qin Xian felt that her words were contradictory. "No one in the Underworld can defeat the King of the Underworld, so how could he be imprisoned?"
"That old ghost must have used some despicable means!"
Crescent Moon gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Ever since I came to the Underworld, he has been trying to usurp the throne. After he took power, his reforms in the Underworld became even more severe, and he even stopped allowing people to be reincarnated!"
"Excuse my intrusion," Su Deng said, glancing at her from head to toe. "How long have you been dead?"
"Not long," Crescent Moon said casually, "maybe four or five hundred years."
Qin Xian: "..."
After all, she was a ghost, and her tone and attitude seemed to indicate that she knew Hades quite well. It was normal for her to have been dead for a long time. In addition, given the setting of this cyber underworld, Su Deng wouldn't be surprised even if she had been dead for a thousand years.
She was just a little curious.
"That ghost messenger called you 'Sir,' do you hold a high position in the underworld?"
Crescent Moon paused slightly, then said with a smile, "Of course."
Su Deng said, "So you're just relying on your suspicions, without any evidence, to suspect that Hades has been imprisoned?"
"I am Hades' secretary!" Crescent Moon snorted and announced her identity.
No wonder those ghost messengers were both disobedient to her and afraid of her.
She also calls herself a little devil.
No wonder they were able to save them both.
Su Deng understood perfectly.
