"A state of emergency? Was that broadcast arranged by King Pingdeng?" Wang Yao frowned and asked.
"Of course, for the Underworld to enter a state of emergency, it must first be discussed and decided by the floor management committee, then an application must be submitted to higher authorities, and finally an order must be issued by one of the Ten Kings of Hell." Wuying nodded.
"So... entering a state of emergency will stop the corpse energy?" Wang Yao asked again.
"How could that be? Entering a state of emergency is just an emergency measure for the floor. It will stop all daily work, suspend reincarnation, shut down factories and shops, and put all the ghosts into a state of military control, making them fully obedient to the arrangements of the floor's management ghosts at all levels."
"As for the corpse energy, even the prince himself couldn't block it, so what can the floor do?" Wuying smiled and shook his head, explaining to Wang Yao the meaning of the underworld entering a state of emergency.
"This...this doesn't mean...?" Wang Yao stared at Wu Ying with wide eyes in astonishment.
"If everyone is organized and busy, it will be less likely to cause trouble. Otherwise, once the corpse energy invades, the ghosts will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, I'm afraid that terrible incidents such as attacking the elevator office, the main road, and other facilities for going up and down stairs and reincarnation will occur," Wuying said calmly.
"Trouble? At this point, you're still worried about trouble? Is the chaos caused by the underworld being overrun by corpse energy a small matter?" Wang Yao found the thinking of these underworld lords utterly incomprehensible. He looked at the group of ghosts, including Wuying. Since they had already guessed the outcome, what choice would they make?
"Then... what will you do?"
"What else can we do? Just wait to die." Wuying smiled bitterly.
"We definitely can't go upstairs. There will surely be high-ranking ghost generals blocking the entrance. Going there would be suicide. We can't go through the official road either. Once a state of emergency is declared, the official road will definitely be closed. Even if it's not closed, in that human realm where yang energy is rampant, how can we ghosts stay without falling into vengeful ghosts?"
"Let's hold them off for now. If we can't hold them off any longer, everyone go home and tie yourselves up so that if the corpse aura reaches a moderate stage, you don't become delirious and harm other ghosts." Wuying said, shaking his head somewhat dejectedly. Being abandoned by his superiors at the critical moment of life and death was indeed a terrible feeling.
"We can't do that! I have a way to deal with these high-level corpse puppets. Let's go to each of the blockade points first, clear out the high-level corpse puppets, and stabilize the situation at the blockade points," Wang Yao hurriedly advised.
"Send a little devil back quickly to inform the leaders of each sect not to send all the ghosts here at once. Send some ghost warriors and above first. While I'm not here, hold off the high-level corpse puppets and maintain the defensive line. The other ghosts can set up a second line of defense behind them."
Wu Ying glanced at the chimneys in the corridor and knew that although Wang Yao's methods were slow and he hadn't eliminated the corpse puppets yet, he had effectively restricted their movements, which greatly reduced the pressure on the blockade. Thinking about it, according to Wang Yao's plan, it was really possible to escape this calamity.
"Alright!" Wuying agreed and first arranged for a ghost to meet the Dao Master.
As the Dao Lord of Floor Zero, and the second-ranking ghost after Gu Qi on this floor, Wu Ying had no choice but to explain the messenger ghost in detail, clarifying the current situation of the corpse energy blockade point to avoid causing misunderstandings among the Dao Lords.
After finishing his instructions, Wang Yao greeted Qin Su and told her to stay at the checkpoint and keep watch on the phone while he and Wu Ying hurriedly went to other checkpoints.
They first went to the nearby wind tunnel blockade point and found it was also a mess. Some ghosts were lying on the ground, some were going crazy, some were making phone calls at the top of their lungs, and many more were running around trying to avoid the Minions.
When Wang Yao saw that there were no ghosts guarding the wind passage, he knew that the corpse energy had already invaded from here. Looking at the scene, there were actually not many little yellow men, only two. Without saying a word, he first used "glass" to trap the little yellow men.
Then, regardless of whether the ghosts present had contracted the corpse aura disease or whether the disease was mild or moderate, Wang Yao added a protective shield to all of them.
To his astonishment, he discovered that there was a ghost he recognized at the scene—the underworld constable he had fought with at the Ghostly Entertainment Shopping Center. Upon seeing Wang Yao, the constable was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he turned to run away. Wang Yao chased after him and put a "glass" on him as well.
"Old Xu, don't you dare run away! Quickly arrange for everyone to reseal the corpse energy!" Wang Yao was about to raise his voice to persuade him to stay when Wu Ying called out from behind. Upon hearing Wu Ying's voice, the constable stood there with a bitter face, no longer daring to move.
Wang Yao had no time to pay attention to the constable. He turned around and busied himself rescuing the ghosts lying on the ground and dealing with those patients with moderate corpse aura who had transformed into vengeful spirits.
He discovered that the Awakening Token was effective in treating patients with mild corpse aura, but it had no effect on those with moderate symptoms. After tapping them with the Awakening Token a few times, he found that they remained frenzied. Wang Yao was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Wuying was more decisive. He went up and slapped all the vengeful ghosts suffering from moderate corpse qi disease to death. He then asked the constable surnamed Xu how he got here. It turned out that Wuying knew the constable.
As the leader of the Ping An Dao on Floor Zero, Qingpao was in charge of public security, and the police station was under his jurisdiction. Wuying was Qingpao's assistant, so he was naturally familiar with this head constable.
After listening to the constable's stammering account, Wang Yao realized that the constable had escaped from the Ghostly Joy Shopping Center. After regaining his senses, he dared not return to the police station, because he had deserted his post and another constable had died. If his superiors found out, he would be held accountable.
After thinking it over and over, he realized that he had made a huge mistake and had nowhere to escape. He then understood that although he hadn't been killed by the immortal, he would probably have to give up his life to his superior in the end.
