"No findings."
"The temple has nothing to do with this."
"It was gang infighting, one person holding a tri-edged spike killed the others and then committed suicide."
"Go back to the scene! We can call it off here."
The police left the temple.
The few old and young who had been guarding the temple talked amongst themselves for a while, but given the lateness of the hour, they all went back to rest.
The entire temple returned to silence.
In the main hall where the gods were enshrined,
A statue of a god suddenly ca to life.
—— Wu Xiaode.
"Thanks a lot, I really owe you one this ti; otherwise, it would have been quite troubleso."
He said it with heartfelt sincerity.
The voice responded again, "No worries, no worries, if you can get more Mirror Stones in the future, please give them all to the miss... they could be sowhat useful."
"No problem," Wu Xiaode agreed.
He checked his phone.
It was past midnight by then.
Everyone had forgotten themselves.
What now?
Umm...
The other five Honorable Ones probably weren’t easy to get along with.
They were all powerful life forms of the world class.
—— While he had only just established a small world that wouldn’t collapse.
How could that be enough?
As he was pondering, he suddenly saw a small notebook appear before him.
Wasn’t it in Jiang Shanglan’s hands?
Right.
It was past twelve, a brand new day, and he could start a new task.
Should he start?
Of course!
Whether it was returning to the Heaven and Earth world or integrating the Book of the Dead with the world, he needed the rewards from the tasks!
Judging by the Lion King’s reaction, such rewards should be quite good.
"Start working,"
Wu Xiaode said.
The notebook imdiately flipped open.
The world flickered away in an instant.
Just a mont.
Wu Xiaode found himself back on Naihe Bridge.
The notebook unfolded:
"Task for today."
"Ferry three unknown entities bound on Naihe Bridge, to further alleviate the pressure of the ’Virtual World’."
"Completion will be rewarded."
"Note:"
"You have influenced the world line, and the world line needs you to pacify and finalize."
"—— The life and death of the world are in your hands; do not take them lightly."
Wu Xiaode was slightly taken aback.
I influenced the world line?
That can’t be.
I’ve only been in this world for a few days and haven’t done anything, have I?
...Does killing over a hundred scumbags count as sothing?
Wu Xiaode waited quietly.
The dim fog on Naihe Bridge dispersed.
A figure appeared in front of him.
"Fuck !"
Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but curse.
Standing before him was none other than the blonde who had been previously apprehended and killed by him.
—— This guy had such a low profile!
Yet how could sothing so terrifyingly dangerous be sealed within him?
Wu Xiaode felt his skin crawl.
How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
Killing him changed the world line?
There must be so secret that he didn’t know was hidden in this.
Wu Xiaode had a hunch.
Right here, right now, he was about to face things he’d never heard of before.
The blonde’s face was filled with bewildernt.
But when he saw Wu Xiaode, his eyes suddenly revealed a flash of realization.
"It’s you? You’re actually a Soul Hooker from the underworld!"
He exclaid.
A strange fluctuation emanated from him.
The ground under his feet cracked.
An intricate web of cracks spread endlessly, weaving their way across the entirety of Naihe Bridge.
Not good, the bridge is going to collapse!
Wu Xiaode’s gentle expression tightened as he shouted sharply,
"Do you want to be killed by again?"
The blonde shuddered.
The mory of his body being pierced by the tri-edged spike surfaced in his mind.
Wu Xiaode didn’t wait for him to think further, stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and spoke loudly,
"You’ve done so many evil deeds in your life; I’ve saved you now, and not only are you ungrateful, but do you also want to fight again?"
"You? Saved ?" the blonde said in disbelief.
Wu Xiaode waved his hand.
Imdiately, the good and evil deeds of the blonde’s life materialized in the Void.
The tally of good deeds was pitifully small, just two.
Those were from when he was a child, having once planted trees and helped birds.
After growing up, he had completely turned bad.
Wu Xiaode whispered in his ear, "If you were left to continue your wrongdoings, you’d surely fall into Hell and suffer untold tornts."
"I killed you, and your bad karma has been interrupted—"
"You get to be reincarnated!"
The blonde stared blankly at the deeds of good and evil in the air for a long while before saying,
"I’m not well-educated, don’t fool ."
Wu Xiaode t his gaze without yielding.
The blonde’s prospective reincarnation flashed before Wu Xiaode’s eyes.
This ti, he’d be born in the prival forest.
As a spruce.
—— Wait, why a spruce again?
Wu Xiaode was puzzled.
After all, the previous terrifying middle-aged woman had turned into a spruce.
Is it happening again today?
The notebook suddenly revealed a few lines of text:
"Spruces live a long ti, which is equivalent to a long period of being sealed."
"This person is extrely dangerous and will live as a spruce for 6000 years before returning here."
"You must imprison him!"
All the text vanished in an instant.
Wu Xiaode cleared his throat and, looking solemnly at the blonde, said,
"All those whom you hard in your life, they’ve turned into Evil Ghosts after death and will co after you, but I’ve found you a way to avoid any harm."
"What way?" the blonde asked half-believingly.
"—— Follow !"
Wu Xiaode pulled him towards the other end of Naihe Bridge.
Thankfully, the walk bought so ti.
Wu Xiaode continuously scrutinized the events of the blonde’s life, seeking quickly to find a breakthrough.
The man ca from an overseas island nation.
He had committed a heinous massacre that wiped out a family in his holand.
Facing dead ends, he was lucky to find a local snakehead (human trafficker), who helped him to stow away and escape the country just before being caught, thus sparing his life.
