"There's no way," Qu Lianfan shook his head grandiosely and shrugged, "People always have some misunderstandings about us here."
After walking out of the garden, there was a gray-white marble square. There was a shallow ravine crossing the flat and smooth ground, and a red translucent liquid was flowing inside.
It doesn't look like blood either.
At the end of the square is the entrance to this snow-white castle. Two steps on the left and right lead to the semi-curved wooden door that is open in the center. Through several windows, Xiaolan also sees three or two hurried figures.
I never expected that the underworld would be such a spotless place.
"I thought..."
"You still think that the underworld should be dirty, right?" Qu Lianfan said, "Everyone else I met also had this idea. It's really strange. I don't know where you got this impression..."
"Isn't that what you think when you are a human being?" Xiaolan asked.
"That was too long," Qu Lianfan recalled symbolically, "How could I remember what happened so long ago?"
Qu Lianfan waved his flag and led Xiaolan up the white quartz staircase on the right side of the main entrance. When he was about to enter, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and said mysteriously, "By the way, we can do it in private."
This place is called Underworld, but in front of Lao Mu, we still have to call it Ting Ting."
"Wing Ting?"
"Yes," Qu Lianfan nodded, "that's the scientific name here."
The interior of the courtyard was generally bright and clean, with white walls, white bricks, and white decorations. Apart from the two of them, no one else was seen in the large central hall.
"Let's go directly to Lao Mu's place."
Xiaolan quickly followed, "Are you going to... judge me?"
"Trial? Maybe..."
"possible?"
Isn’t your work process very standardized?
"When the dead person arrives here, he is usually handed over to the Karma Hall on the second floor for unified arrangements, and then goes to Xuedao on the third floor to sort and wait. When Xuedao has planned the general route of the person's next life, he goes to the ferry bridge on the fourth floor.
Queuing up to prepare for reincarnation..."
"Then what do you guys do?"
"There will always be accidents," Qu Lianfan protracted, "Everyone's destiny is different. There will always be some special situations and special people. For example, I was singled out in the graduation hall.
I sent it directly to Lao Mu, who appointed me as a ghost servant..."
Qu Lianfan looked at her happily, and Xiaolan suddenly understood what he meant.
"Are you saying that Lao Mu plans to recruit me as a ghost errand?"
"Hey, I didn't say that," Qu Lianfan said, "but there are indeed a few people in our team who were taken directly like you... Of course, only the leader himself knows what he thinks."
Ghost...
No wonder Qu Lianfan told himself everything about the situation here like he was pouring beans. It turned out that he was preparing for his future career development.
but……
Xiaolan thought darkly.
Could it be that he was killed by Lao Mu?
"Little song!" A crisp voice sounded in front of the two of them.
At the end of the corridor, a girl in red, also waving a banner, ran over.
The girl's black hair was almost hanging to the ground. As she ran, the hair swayed behind her waist. The girl wore a fiery red blouse that reached her ankles. Under the blouse, a pair of plush clothes could be vaguely seen.
slippers.
"Lingluo, why are you here?" Qu Lianfan pointed at the girl in red and introduced, "This is Lingluo, who is also the ghost servant of Bing Ting."
"Lingluo..." Xiaolan repeated the girl's name, "My name is Xiaolan."
"Xiaolan," Lingluo bent down and showed a sweet smile to Xiaolan, "Did you just die?"
Do people here usually greet you like this?
"Uh... I just died for a while..." Xiaolan awkwardly followed Lingluo's topic.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, don't be afraid," Lingluo turned and pointed to the white stairs at the end of the corridor, "The Yejie Hall is just above. Xiaoqu will take you there. It's not that scary here. You can go back soon.
This is the world.”
"Lingluo, she is the person Lao Mu specially asked me to bring to him," Qu Lianfan said enthusiastically, while taking out the yellow paper in his arms, "Look, this is the name Lao Mu wrote for me.
Just like when you came here..."
Lingluo's eyes widened, "Wow! A new ghost?!"
Xiaolan watched indifferently as the two of them were excited about their fate, while she herself just wanted to sigh.
"By the way, where are you going?" Qu Lianfan just noticed Lingluo's outfit, "You haven't even changed your shoes."
"Ah?" Lingluo lowered her head, "Ah, I forgot...don't mention it. I just went to the bridge to deal with Lu Yueyi's matter."
"Lu Yueyi? What happened to her?"
"Hey, listen to me start from the beginning. I just went to pick up a deceased person. He was a young boy. He was quite good-looking. The boy was very cooperative. After I sent him to the bridge, I went back to the dormitory.
Well, as soon as I put on my slippers, news came from the other side of the bridge that Lu Yueyi was making trouble again..."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Qu Lianfan shook his head regretfully, "Isn't that boy similar to the previous ones?"
"Yes, tall and thin..."
"Then what can be done?" Qu Lianfan sighed sympathetically, "Lu Qieyi is also very pitiful."
"I know she is pitiful, but Lao Mu also said that if she delays other people's reincarnation next time, she will not be allowed to wait on the bridge. If Lao Mu knows what happened today..."
Lingluo hit her head with the wooden pole of the banner in distress.
After the conversation between the two ended, Xiaolan politely asked her own question.
She basically didn't understand what they just said, but she accurately discerned a piece of information that was valuable to her - today, a good-looking boy died somewhere.
"Sister Lingluo, are you the errand in charge of Wenjing?"
"I'm not," Lingluo shook her head in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"There is someone I know who may die today," Xiaolan said frankly, "his name is Ye Bai, and we are all in Wenjing."
"I don't know about Wenjing... that is Uncle Meng's territory," Lingluo smiled, "I just took office not long ago, and now I am only responsible for a very small place. You may not have heard of it. That place is called Qiao.
It’s not a city, it’s a small town.”
I really haven't heard of it.
"Does Xiaolan also have a boy waiting for her?" Lingluo teased.
"ah?"
"Hahaha, I'm kidding," Lingluo straightened up and stretched, "You guys go to Lao Mu's place quickly, don't let the boss wait for too long... Oh my, I can finally rest, but I'm so exhausted...
