Next to the fiery red flowers of the other shore, a small silver boat quickly approached the shore.
The King of Hell, dressed in black and with wide sleeves and a wide robe, stood among the flowers of the other shore, waiting quietly.
The judge in a white robe stood beside him, holding the Book of Life and Death in one hand and a brush in the other. The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons held hooks and forks and stood behind the two men.
"You'd better let me go, otherwise if I escape, I will never forgive you!"
The young man with an ordinary look was lying face down with his face pressed against the edge of the silver boat. Luo Zheyu turned a deaf ear to his words and completely ignored them. He stepped on the young man's back, pinning him down, making him lie on the boat, unable to move.
He raised his hand, waved to Yan Wang and others standing on the shore, and said hello.
The King of Hell grinned, took a few steps forward, and headed towards the silver boat approaching the other side.
The young man kept cursing, but no one had a chance to stop him.
He was dead and now a ghost, so it was natural for Luo Zheyu to send him to the underworld.
The three thousand ghost officials captured many ghosts released by the young men and were rushing to the underworld.
Luo Zheyu took a small boat on the Styx and walked through the Styx space, which was much faster than the Yin-Yang passage that the ghost officials walked through.
However, even if it was much faster, the ghost officials were not willing to "ride" the boat on the Styx again.
They had already drunk enough water from the River Styx to become swollen.
"Wang Ritian, 68 years old, from xx town, xx province..." The judge flipped through the book of life and death in his hand and said to the young man who was pushed off the boat and escorted over by Luo Zheyu.
The young man glared at them with resentment.
However, some people didn't take it seriously at all.
But Luo Zheyu didn't expect that the young man was already 68 years old. You couldn't tell from his face.
"Hey..." The judge stuffed the Book of Life and Death into his wide sleeves, pried the young man's head with his fingers, and twisted it around so that the young man's head was turned and glaring at Luo Zheyu with the side eyes.
The judge leaned closer to the young man with his clean-shaven, beardless face, looked him up and down, and sighed, "So you are Wang Ritian, I never thought... Your father, Boss Wang, works in the ghost market in the underworld. A few years ago, he calculated that your time was coming soon, and asked me to keep an eye out for you to come down!"
"My...my dad?"
Wang Ritian was shocked and stared at the fair face so close to him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Now... let's see if you have the face to see your father!"
the judge spat.
Wang Ritian suddenly became even more panicked, his eyes darted around, he gritted his teeth, used all his strength to break free from Luo Zheyu's restraints, and ran in a panic in a direction.
Luo Zheyu just turned his head to look and did not try to stop it.
The soul has already been sent to the underworld, and the King of Hell is now by his side, so there is no need for him to take any action.
Sure enough, the King of Hell waved his sleeves and a chain came out from his sleeves and flew towards Wang Ritian. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with him and tied him up, holding him in place and unable to break free.
"Thank you for your hard work in getting rid of this scourge."
The King of Hell turned around with a smile and patted Luo Zheyu on the shoulder.
Luo Zheyu waved his hand and said, "I need your help."
"Oh? Tell me what I can do for you."
"Two favors. The first one is that this guy has captured many people alive in the human world. You know this."
The King of Hell nodded in agreement.
"Some of these living people are dead, while others are still alive. The dead have turned into ghosts, while some have lost all reason and are being manipulated as puppets. These have been captured by the ghost officials. Others are the same as normal ghosts. There are a lot of them. Can your underworld accept them?"
In addition, those who had experienced the "movie" in the small space and were still alive were also released by Luo Zheyu and sent back to the human world by the order of the King of Hell.
As for what consequences will arise if they return to the human world...that is not the responsibility of the King of Hell.
Wang Ritian tried to take a shortcut to create the world, but the people in the unfinished small world were somewhat special.
They have long been dead, but they have living bodies.
After all, the unfinished small world is just a prototype that is not even a semi-finished product. Luo Zheyu will not rely on the omni-faceted mirror to continue to perfect the small world. The people inside can no longer stay there.
They can only become souls again and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"It's troublesome."
After sending all these innocent living people and ghosts away, Luo Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief.
I’m really afraid that there are too many ghosts and the underworld can’t accommodate them all.
As for the cold voice in his mind that was shouting its disagreement, Luo Zheyu completely ignored it.
There was no way to disagree, because who asked the spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror to come up and recognize Luo Zheyu as its master?
If not, Luo Zheyu would not have the authority to release all the living ghosts. It would be extremely difficult to make the spirit of the Thousand-faced Mirror spit out the living people and ghosts trapped inside.
"Don't worry, the underworld can still accommodate these people." The King of Hell laughed and said, "Besides, there is a place in the human world that has recently implemented a policy to encourage childbirth. People are being created everywhere. The underworld is worried about the shortage of souls and has no souls to send. The souls you sent here have solved the urgent problem!"
"What do you want me to do for you?"
The King of Hell asked.
"Do you know the kaleidoscope mirror?" Luo Zheyu asked softly.
"Oh - a thousand-faced mirror..." The King of Hell seemed to suddenly realize something, nodded, and then shook his head.
"I don't know. I've never heard of it."
"Ignorance!" A cold and hoarse voice shouted in Luo Zheyu's mind.
"It is said that the Thousand Faces Mirror is a divine weapon created by a powerful being in the Demon Realm tens of millions of years ago."
Luo Zheyu ignored the voice made by the spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror and explained softly, while the King of Hell raised his head and looked at him blankly.
"I am still a few decades away from being the King of Hell for a thousand years."
What he meant was that he didn't understand what Luo Zheyu said.
Neither the powerful one from the Demon Realm nor the Mirror of All Faces understood it at all.
What Luo Zheyu wanted to ask the King of Hell was the extent of the threat posed to him by the Thousand-Faced Mirror.
Although he has been recognized as the master by the spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror, Luo Zheyu does not think that the spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror will obediently serve him.
If a magical artifact like the Thousand-Faced Mirror was used to trick him, the consequences would be no joke.
After all, even if the owner of the Manifold Mirror died suddenly, it would not affect the Manifold Mirror.
Wang Ritian is an example.
The King of Hell had no good solution for this, so he could only tell Luo Zheyu not to trust the spirit of the Thousand-Faced Mirror and not to rely on its power.
After all, he is still the master of the Thousand Faces Mirror. As long as he does not get entangled with the Thousand Faces Mirror, the Thousand Faces Mirror will not be able to resist him and should not be affected too much.
Wang Ritian, the culprit who caused trouble in the human world, was caught, and the boat fare to send Wang Ritian to the underworld was also a great harvest. After Luo Zheyu absorbed the soul power fed back by the boat, his soul became more condensed, and he could finally faintly see the golden light of merit around him.
As for the unlucky "ability", after Luo Zheyu could see the golden light of merit, he could also see the nodes where the unlucky "ability" was attached to his body. The unlucky "ability" was always imposed on him and was not something he possessed himself, so as long as he found the right node, he could "tear" it off from his body.
Luo Zheyu gave it to Wang Ritian.
From now on, no matter how much punishment Wang Ritian experienced in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, he would be accompanied by this bad luck when he was reincarnated again.
I hope he's stronger.
After everything was done, Luo Zheyu wanted to leave this world.
He was still worried about his uncle Wenjin and wanted to go out and resolve it as soon as possible.
Now that the unlucky "ability" has been eliminated, actions are no longer restricted.
Just as he was about to ask the King of Hell about the successor of the extradition person, he suddenly felt a suction force under his feet.
Looking down, I saw symbols emitting black light emerging on the ground beneath my feet. They were mysterious and profound, and seemed to imply some kind of pattern.
The black light gradually grew stronger and brighter, covering Luo Zheyu's entire body from bottom to top.
"This is... the power of another world..."
The King of Hell murmured and couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
This is exactly what he longed for. As long as he took a step forward and stood in the unknown mysterious formation with Luo Zheyu, he could leave this world and visit another different world.
He even lifted his foot slightly and took half a step.
After hesitating and struggling for a moment, his feet fell back to the ground and his outstretched hand dropped weakly.
Can't go.
He is the King of Hell and has his own duties.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has disappeared, and people with powerful abilities no longer emerge in endlessly like in the past hundred years. The affairs of the underworld are all supported by the King of Hell.
If he leaves, the underworld will be in chaos in no time.
He could only look at Luo Zheyu standing in the unknown formation with a look of longing, and quickly shouted: "The underworld of the soul entangled by the golden light and merit has been found, but you must remember to take me with you next time you go to other worlds!"
The King of Hell thought this was a new method used by Luo Zheyu to travel between different worlds.
Luo Zheyu: …
Okay, I'll take you.
Although I don't understand what's going on.
He was full of doubts, but did not step out of the formation.
This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I might as well follow the suction of this formation and see where it will take me.
The space around him gradually twisted, and the air seemed to bend.
Then the light faded, and the entire wonderful formation, along with Luo Zheyu, disappeared on the spot.
The King of Hell was left standing there with his hands behind his back, looking disappointed.

“%@…”
Mysterious rune syllables came out of his mouth, low and high, like the most ancient language between heaven and earth.
In the dim and spacious room, several people wearing black robes that covered their entire bodies and hoods stood in the shape of five corners, leaving the center position empty.
One of the men in black robes held a parchment scroll in his hand and read out each syllable according to the words written on it.
The low murmur that had been lingering around came from his mouth.
He glanced towards the center of the formation from time to time, feeling quite nervous.
The floor was covered with all kinds of mysterious symbols and lines, which were emitting a faint glow, bringing some light to this extremely dark room.
The five men in black robes and hoods looked even more mysterious because of the light as the shadows of the hoods covered their faces, leaving only their chins exposed.
“%@#&…”
The black-robed man holding the parchment scroll spoke in a steady voice, not even daring to take a breath, as he continued to recite in a low voice.
The formation under their feet suddenly emitted a strong light. The five people standing in the formation could not help but look towards the center of the formation, but they were blinded by the strong light.
The light became brighter and brighter. Even with their eyes closed and their hoods blocking some of the light, the five people could still feel the dazzling light flashing in front of their eyes.
Suddenly, all the light disappeared, and the five people were in darkness. When they opened their eyes, there was only a red light that had not yet faded in their retinas.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. Apart from the five people's deliberately low breathing and heartbeats, nothing else could be heard.
When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, there was still no movement in the room. The person standing in the corner of the five-star building couldn't help but make a sound.
"Gabriel, thirty-second time, thirty-second time! You really drew the formation wrong again! This is the last magic formation material in our Chamber of Commerce!"
There was a hint of collapse in the low cry, and the voice was unexpectedly clear and pleasant. The person speaking was obviously a young girl.
"I'm sorry, Polly, but I'm not a magician. It's hard enough to make the magic circle work..."
The man in black robe holding the parchment scroll said dejectedly.
The family chamber of commerce was in decline, and the materials for the magic array were extremely precious. They had wasted a lot of them and could no longer produce the next batch.
If I still insist on using the summoning magic circle recorded in this parchment scroll passed down by my family ancestors, which is said to be able to save the family's declining guild, maybe I can borrow some materials from my classmates in the academy. Although magic materials are very precious, the classmates in the academy are either rich or noble, so I should be able to borrow some...
"Excuse me, everyone. What is going on here?"
A voice as clear and cold as a spring suddenly sounded in the darkness.
Author has something to say: I finally squeezed it out! The Styx world is over! Oh my god, it’s great!
Thanks to the little cuties for the mines and nutrient solution~
