An’s face changed drastically.

The Ninth Hall… was sealed off?

Perhaps ordinary people didn’t know the depths of the water here, and even most of the ghost constables, even though they were part of the system, were too marginalized, so they often could only see through the fog.

But Lawyer An had once been an inspector, although he could barely be considered to be touching the tail end of the middle level, not even an official of the imperial court, but the An lawyer of that year…

Knew how to network.

An ordinary inspector wouldn’t even be allowed to join a "rebellion group" even if they wanted to;

But An lawyer could get in and was even affected by it, receiving pursuit and punishment. That was a skill in itself!

Therefore, An lawyer knew just how serious this matter was.

In ancient times, the human realm and hell were actually in a very primitive state. At that time, Ying Gou, on the orders of the Yellow Emperor, suppressed the Nether Sea.

The human world underwent great changes, and so did hell. After Ying Gou fell for some unknown reason, hell was also a place of fierce competition, with various forces dividing the Nether Sea, so that what was once a sea was now only a thin River Styx.

Later, the first Mount Tai King performed a Fengshan sacrifice on the summit of Mount Tai, moving the body of Mount Tai to suppress hell, finally bringing hell back under orderly control.

Since then, yin and yang were harmonized.

The yang world entered an orderly development, and so did the yin world.

After the disappearance of the last Mount Tai King, hell was once again without a leader, but it didn’t last long.

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha intervened, working with the team retained from the Mount Tai King’s sequence to form a new hell operation system, which has been in operation for thousands of years to this day, which is the current Netherworld.

This process wasn't particularly magnificent, nor did it experience too many twists and turns. It was nothing more than the changing of flags on the city walls, a bit like the common people facing the "Yuan army" and the "rebel army" at the end of the Yuan dynasty, playing a "two-sided card," that is, being a "two-faced person."

After all,

Unlike Ying Gou’s laid-back, lazy, and negligent management style, which even the xiezhi (a mythical unicorn-like creature that can distinguish between right and wrong) couldn’t stand,

The successive Mount Tai Kings painstakingly built a complete and orderly hell ruling sequence, which can be said to be the predecessor of the current Netherworld.

The last Mount Tai King, bewitched by Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, disappeared without a trace. The next process was a bit like a "peaceful evolution."

The "two-faced people" began to exert their power.

The Ten Kings of Hell were established, ostensibly the highest governing bodies of the Netherworld, with Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha ruling from behind the curtain. Although he didn't show his face much, his status was transcendent.

This pattern has been established ever since.

It can be said that

The Ten Kings of Hell are the foundation of the Netherworld.

Now,

If the line of King Equality Lu of the Ninth Hall is really buried, it means that the sky of hell has been stained with a layer of blood in advance. The "winds are rising" that An lawyer had been talking about was much more serious and terrifying than he had imagined.

Of course, it was also possible to suspect that this old man was lying;

But,

What he carried, although not the souls of officials in the Ninth Hall, were "spirit tablets" similar to those used by ordinary people in the human world.

Death and dissipation,

Leaving only the spirit tablet!

This meant that at least dozens of officials, large and small, had fallen in the Ninth Hall. What kind of bloody storm would cause such a huge loss to the Ninth Hall?

Under this verification,

The credibility of what Lu Pingzhi said about the Ninth Hall being wiped out

Was very high.

"All must die… all must die… everyone must die… all must die… hahahahaha…"

Lu Pingzhi had everything shattered by Zhou Ze's punch,

Shattered his courage,

Severed his vitality,

Cut off his retreat.

At this time, he

Was destined to die,

So at this moment, he didn’t hide anything, nor did he put on any airs, appearing very mad.

His eyes were bloodshot,

Like a dying person’s final flash of lucidity.

"Dead… dead, dead… all dead… all dead… I was on assignment… not there… came back… came back and picked up… colleagues’… spirit tablets…"

An attorney took a deep breath.

He roughly understood what had happened.

Lu Pingzhi was on assignment at the time, something like a business trip, so he luckily avoided the calamity of the Ninth Hall, but there shouldn’t be many people who could have the same luck as him.

When he returned,

He was horrified to find that the Ninth Hall was already a ruin, everywhere was blood-red, and the yin winds howled.

He only dared to collect the "spirit tablets" of some of his colleagues around him, not daring to stay too long, and immediately found a way to escape to the yang world.

Then, relying on the methods he had mastered in the Ninth Hall to torture evil ghosts who had committed crimes in their lifetimes, he began to cut up the souls of the dead, taking a part of their soul to replenish himself and recover.

Next,

He ran into Boss Zhou and the others, whose performance had been affected.

Zhou Ze, on the other hand, wasn’t interested in this matter. Netherworld or not, Ninth Hall or not, it could be said that all of it was something he was too lazy to play with or stir up back then.

What he cared about was

He,

Ying Gou,

Had been cheated!

And had reached an agreement with that salted fish.

He,

Had suffered a loss!

Just thinking about how, when he went back and that salted fish woke up, he might laugh so hard that snot bubbles came out of his nose,

Ying Gou's heart

Felt so bad!

Fortunately,

This time was different from the last time,

The environmental conditions were also different.

There wasn’t a little zombie stranger who wanted to kill Zhou Ze.

Otherwise,

Ying Gou would definitely have forcibly ordered someone to kill himself!

Death

Solved everything,

Compared to being laughed at,

Death

Was also an acceptable price!

Lawyer An certainly didn’t understand the pride of this old, old senior next to him.

He focused more on the information that this dying old man could provide.

"Who did it? Who did it?" Lawyer An asked, pressing him. "What was the reaction of the other halls?"

Lawyer An immediately squatted down and shouted at the old man.

In fact,

In hell,

There were very, very few forces that could destroy a hall overnight.

The Ten Kings of Hell were, after all, the high-level representatives of the Netherworld. Not to mention that King Equality Lu was by no means an easy character to deal with,

Not to mention the many officials under the Ninth Hall, who were by no means ordinary people.

It should be known that the Ninth Hall was in charge of Fengdu Ghost City, with its sixteen small hells responsible for punishment. It was the most violent of the ten halls, with a large number of ruthless people inside, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to suppress the evil ghosts in Fengdu City.

Lu Pingzhi looked blankly at Lawyer An, just smiling, without speaking.

"Was it a joint effort of the other halls? Or did that Bodhisattva take action? Or, was it the Bridge of Helplessness? Impossible, the Bridge of Helplessness doesn’t have that much ability.

Who else, who else could it be…

Right,

Where’s your King Equality? Where is he? Is he dead too?"

"I… I… I…"

"Speak, speak, I’m listening, I’m listening."

Lawyer An immediately grabbed Lu Pingzhi, and at the same time brought his mouth close to Lu Pingzhi’s mouth. At this time, he was no longer worried that Lu Pingzhi would make any more moves or threats.

This old man

Had been crushed.

"I… I…"

"Say it! Say it quickly, hurry up!"

"I… I don’t know either."

"…" Lawyer An.

"What the hell are you saying!"

Lawyer An grabbed the old man’s neck with both hands,

And then

The old man, with a mocking smile,

Stopped moving.

"He’s dead."

Lawyer An put the old man’s body down.

He saw a wisp of black gas rising from the old man’s brow, but it didn’t turn into a soul, but instead dissipated directly.

Lawyer An didn’t know if there were other survivors in the Ninth Hall,

But the old man in front of him

Was likely the last of his line.

It seemed

Right in front of him,

Right in his hands,

The Ninth Hall

Had completely come to an end.

This feeling was quite poignant, a feeling like a scene from a movie appearing on him.

Setting sun, lonely and sad.

Old An let out a heavy breath, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"Thump!"

Lawyer An turned his head

And found Zhou Ze had fallen to the ground.

"Hmm?"

Lawyer An immediately went over.

Before he could reach out to help him,

Zhou Ze opened his eyes and slowly stood up on his own.

"Boss, the Ninth Hall is gone, something big has happened in hell, one of the Ten Kings of Hell is directly gone."

Lawyer An reported anxiously.

Zhou Ze didn’t speak, but after standing up, he just took the cigarette and lighter from Lawyer An’s hand.

"Boss, the winds are really rising, much more serious than I expected. We have to hurry. I thought that after you became a constable, we would probably have the ability to protect ourselves, but now it seems that I was still too naive."

Lawyer An didn’t forget to instill a sense of crisis in his boss at this time.

It was a bit like the imperialists’ hearts will never die, comrades still need to work hard.

"Boss, I have to contact people in hell right away to see if the people below still don’t know about the Ninth Hall being wiped out. I’m worried that this matter might affect the judge’s training.

Of course, it’s also possible that this matter happened earlier, and that judge, because he was stimulated, decided to stand up and do something.

In short, I’m so anxious right now, I feel like there’s a knife hanging over my neck!"

After Lawyer An finished speaking,

He saw that his boss’s hand was trembling, and his lips were pursed. He failed several times to light the cigarette with the lighter.

"Boss, don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid either. Let’s be steady, steady, it’s okay, it’s okay, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Oh no, that’s not right either.

Anyway, the ones who should be most afraid now are probably the other halls, it shouldn’t affect us at this level yet.

Boss, stay calm, stay calm."

"Hehehe… hehehe…"

Zhou Ze couldn’t help it.

After taking a puff of the cigarette,

He laughed,

And then choked,

And began to cough with his head down,

Laughing as he coughed.

"Boss, what’s wrong with you?"

Lawyer An was a little confused.

"Hahahaha…"

After Zhou Ze caught his breath, he laughed loudly, tears coming out of his eyes. Then he patted Lawyer An on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"I’m laughing,

Laughing at that idiot,

Hahaha,

He actually got cheated…"

"…" Lawyer An.
