Chapter 406: The Underworld’s Canteen
Of course, Wei Huo had not gone there to find a job. He only wanted to understand the structure of this place. However, based on the current situation, there seed to be sothing wrong with the Underworld.
At the very least, the Underworld was not an Earth Prefecture. According to their theory, there were many aliens and races in the universe. If the Underworld was an existence corresponding to Heaven, then it should at least target all living creatures in the universe.
There were all sorts of differences in the legends of the Underworld, as though all of them were aliens. From this perspective, it was unscientific to think that the Underworld was filled with ordinary Earthlings.
However, the Underworld was sothing that people had imagined. It might not exist. In that case, one could not speculate by using common sense.
Wei Huo led Wu Bin to the Tenth Hall. On the way, Wei Huo said, “Wu Bin, I rember that the Underworld was also modern in your dream. Is that right?”
Wu Bin said, “Yes, I rember it very clearly. It was about 10 years behind my era.”
Wei Huo had so guesses, but he was not sure. He arrived at the gate of the Tenth Hall, just like many people who were about to die.
However, the people around Wei Huo had bodies and not souls. Wei Huo was confused. Shouldn’t the people who ca to the Underworld only have souls? Why would they co with their bodies?
Besides, the diseases of the patients who were seriously ill seed to have been cured. So people who had been missing limbs had also recovered and gone back to normal.
Of course, these people could not feel if they were still alive. They did not know that they had a physical body, as they could not tell.
Besides, according to the understanding that the Underworld released ram by deleting unnecessary docunts, it was probably ti for the living to face death.
Everyone queued up and entered the First Hall. The First Hall’s door looked a little terrifying, but when they entered, it looked like a modern building on the inside. It was an office building with rows of stairs and railings in the middle. Right in the middle was an open door.
Staff mbers in western suits were busy inside. There was a row of service windows with words on them. There was also a long line from one to ten. Everyone was controlled by the Rule Power and they were thus willing to line up. No one escaped.
However, Wei Huo and Wu Bin had cut in line. Otherwise, they would not have been able to enter the hall.
Wei Huo did not see the First Hall’s Hall Master, Qin Guangwang. It seed like he was in charge of planning and managing the overall situation like the leader of an institute. How long would it take for him to interrogate them one by one?
Wu Bin could not believe it. “Is this the Underworld? It’s really progressing with the tis. It’s completely different from what I imagined. Besides, people are very orderly here. No one cut the line.”
A staff mber in a suit had just changed shifts with his colleague. When he walked out of the hall, he heard Wu Bin’s voice. Then, he smiled and said, “Why did you cut the line when you ca to the Underworld? I’m afraid no one would do that, right?”
Wu Bin was speechless.
No, two people who did that are standing in front of you!
The staff mber’s attitude was very kind. He said, “There are two types of people in the First Hall. One of them are people who are not good or evil, and the other are people who are more evil than good. Almost everyone who cos to the Underworld has to go through the First Hall. That’s why the biggest number of people is here!”
Wei Huo looked at him. “Do you guys usually switch shifts like this?”
The staff mber said, “Yes. By the way, who are you?”
Wei Huo and Wu Bin did not explain imdiately. Instead, the staff mber said, “I know... Are you students from school? Are you here to observe potential future jobs? If there is anything you don’t understand, ask !”
Wu Bin was taken aback. Are you getting too far ahead of yourself? We haven’t said anything yet.
Wei Huo smiled and said, “Sorry to trouble you. May I know your na?”
The staff mber said, “Call Liu Hao. I’ve only worked here for a year. By the way, I’ll treat you guys to a al in the canteen.”
Liu Hao led Wei Huo and Wu Bin to the so-called canteen. On the second level of the First Hall was a huge canteen. The staff mbers who had just changed shifts were eating there. So of the staff mbers were talking to each other, while others were eating quietly.
Liu Hao led Wei Huo and Wu Bin to the window and ordered three employee als. Wu Bin looked at the employee als in disbelief. There was rice, vegetables, and at on the plate.
Did he have to eat in the Underworld?
Wu Bin looked on in disbelief.
Although the three of them arrived at a table, Wei Huo was not in a hurry to eat. He asked, “Is the First Hall just conducting an initial investigation?”
Liu Hao said, “Yes, those who are not guilty will head to the Bridge of Helplessness to prepare for reincarnation. Those who are guilty will be transferred to the Second Hall for investigation and punishnt.”
While Wei Huo was talking to Liu Hao, Wu Bin had already started eating. He tried the food and was stunned. The food tasted exactly the sa as real food. It was even better. He could not believe that this place was different from the real world.
Wei Huo knew the difference. If the Underworld was the Recycle Bin, so-called reincarnation and being punished by staying in the Underworld were akin to deleting a docunt to release mory and staying behind to make sure there was no need for the docunt before clearing it respectively.
The so-called ng Po Soup of the Bridge of Helplessness was actually a way to delete the content of a docunt and obtain more mory space.
Wei Huo started learning about the Underworld from Liu Hao. Liu Hao did not suspect them, probably because they were not bound by Rule Power. They could thus move freely.
Wei Huo understood the situation thanks to Liu Hao and heard a shocking number.
There were nearly a million people living there. Most of them were trembling in fear as they carried out their duties at work. So of them were studying at school, while others were teachers.
However, food, tools, and materials were transported from another place. As for where that place was, that was classified. Normal people had no idea.
Schools did not teach Chinese, Math, or English. Schools directly cultivated people’s professional skills so that they could replace their predecessors as soon as they started working.
The people who attended school were not children. They were people from all walks of life who had been selected from reality. After studying, they would get to work. The duration of their studies was different based on their job.
For example, so positions that required military training took longer to learn, while civilian jobs like theirs took a shorter ti.
Liu Hao said, “Even so, we still lack manpower often and need to constantly replenish it.”
