Chapter 101 Reunion

Without any preparation, without the slightest hesitation, you appeared just like that,

In my world,

Bringing me surprise,

I couldn't help myself…

Lawyer An looked at the purple scroll, his eyes quickly turning red, as if he had seen his "first love."

His heart,

Thump, thump, thump!

The thing he had been thinking about day and night, the thing he had been craving every night,

Just suddenly appeared in front of him,

And it appeared in the form of "vomit!"

"Aren't you curious as to why I've been a fugitive for so long, but my strength doesn't seem to have been affected much?"

Lawyer An nodded.

He had found it a bit strange back in Tong City. Logically speaking, the first thing the Underworld does to fugitives or disgraced officials is to revoke their Origin Text, a bit like stripping someone of their political rights for life in the human world.

But Geng Chen's strength in Tong City, you could say it relied on his exquisite puppetry, but it was definitely more than just that.

If it were just puppets, Lawyer An didn't think he would have been beaten so badly at the beginning.

And after arriving in Yangzhou, the creation of puppets and the arrangement of karma fire runes made Lawyer An even more puzzled.

Everyone is a disgraced official,

Why do you look more advanced than me?

If we're talking about who's more excellent,

If you were so excellent back then, how could I have turned the tables on you?

"My Origin Text has also been revoked," Geng Chen replied.

"How is that possible?" Lawyer An didn't believe it.

"Nothing is impossible. What I'm using now…"

A black scroll surfaced on Geng Chen's little infant belly, faintly visible, and then quickly disappeared.

"What I'm using now isn't my own."

"Heh, how did you get it?"

Lawyer An was asking how he got it, not how he did it.

Because, when it comes down to it, using someone else's Text Scroll isn't that difficult.

Generally speaking,

The difference in strength between a ghost guard and a constable isn't that significant, though constables are generally stronger than ghost guards.

After all, a constable is the head of five ghost guards. You can't be completely useless and be a little boss, right? Even if you're picking the tallest among the short, there has to be a height difference, right?

But just as Boss Zhou, after getting that gold-plated constable token, had wondered,

This token, besides looking good, isn't really useful, unless you take it to a gold shop to exchange for money.

And from Boss Zhou's contact with the Underworld, the dividing line of strength between Underworld officials lies between the constable and the Inspector.

Lawyer An had also admitted Boss Zhou's guess, and had mentioned more than once, "If I hadn't had my Origin Text revoked, I would have…"

It felt like he was saying, "If I was powerful back then, I would have taught this grandson a lesson!"

The truth was indeed so.

The Underworld was a system inherited from the Mount Tai Ruler. It is said that the first Ruler took the soul of Mount Tai and merged it with the aura of Hell, building the foundation of the Underworld order.

The era of the Sea of Nether belonged to a rough form of grazing. All the giants of Hell knew that in the center of the Sea of Nether, there was a throne of bones.

That person sat there,

The giants from all directions didn't even dare to make too much noise when they turned over in bed, still worrying about whether that person would come over and have a snack one day.

But when Ying Gou fell, Hell instantly fell into chaos. The great powers of Hell conquered each other, and there were also rampant ferocious beasts. The chaos in the Underworld also affected the human world. Yin and Yang were disordered, and the human world was also changing rapidly, with ghosts and monsters running rampant.

The first Ruler ended the chaotic world of Hell and shaped the predecessor of the Underworld system with the foundation of Mount Tai.

An Inspector's Origin Text is more like an ancient human dynasty's imperial decree for "Mountain, River, and Lake Gods." With it, an Inspector can better communicate with the power from Hell and take it for their own use.

It's like a key that opens the door in front of you. After entering, it's another world. But how far you can run and how high you can fly still depends on your own level. However, the premise is that you have to have this key.

You can do without a key. Every profession has mediocre people and geniuses, but according to the Underworld rules, when you're conferred as an Inspector, not only do they give you a key, but they also imprint your own soul on the Origin Text. So, once the Underworld decides to revoke your Origin Text, you lose not only a key, but also the isolation and shielding of the aura of Hell that comes with it.

This is the real reason why Lawyer An seems to be much stronger than ordinary constables but can't compare to a true Inspector.

Relying on this method, from the era of the first Ruler to the present, Hell has been able to maintain basic stability, controlling various places externally and controlling internal forces internally.

Therefore, even if the Ten Yama Kings are collectively silent and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is just slacking off, it will take some time for this foundation to completely rot and collapse. It's just tottering now, but no one knows when it will really collapse.

So, the first Ruler was indeed an amazing existence, laying an excellent foundation for the subsequent Rulers. Even if they just loafed around, they could still keep the system running.

If the last Mount Tai Ruler hadn't been tricked by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and disappeared directly,

The current Hell might still be the era of the Ruler.

So, the keys are connected, but the Underworld's standardized system basically eliminates the possibility of keys, i.e., Origin Texts, being stolen. If you two are good brothers and lend it to him, that's possible, but such good brothers are hard to find.

"Thanks to you, there's everything in the Far West Seal, and because of the seals of the successive Rulers, that area is basically in a state of semi-isolation from the outside world. Anything is possible there. Even some of the Underworld's rules don't work there.

Logically speaking, if an Inspector commits a crime and is punished, the Origin Text will definitely be revoked and cancelled. A dead Inspector will also be cancelled. But there, I found a place where many officials died, and I also picked up two Inspectors' Origin Texts."

"How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. I've verified that those dead Inspectors should be figures from over a thousand years ago. They should have been the keepers of the sealed land in that era.

And the period of their fall happened to be when the last Mount Tai Ruler disappeared, the Ten Yama Kings rose, and the Underworld changed dynasties. The negligence and turmoil there, coupled with the special nature of the sealed land, allowed the Origin Texts of the Inspectors who accidentally died in the sealed land during that period to be preserved."

It's a bit like a person who has died but hasn't been deregistered at the police station. Theoretically, his identity can still participate in social activities.

Lawyer An reached out,

And hung Geng Chen upside down.

Poor Geng Chen's little body was lifted up and swayed non-stop at this moment, looking quite miserable.

"Pa pa pa!"

Lawyer An also reached out and patted Geng Chen's belly a few times,

Saying:

"Vomit some more, see if there are any other good things you can vomit out. Damn, this little belly is like an interdimensional pocket."

"Nothing…"

Geng Chen replied, rolling his eyes at the same time.

"I don't believe you. You wait. After leaving Yangzhou, I must take you to the hospital for an x-ray."

"Okay." Geng Chen accepted. If he could end such a boring position earlier, he was willing to accept it.

"I say, how do I feel like I'm sending you to guard the border, but instead you're getting lucky?"

"Don't laugh. You don't seem to be doing very well either, actually working as a lackey for a constable."

"Hehe, a real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. You kid, just wait. If you still have the life to wait and see."

"I'll wait and see."

Lawyer An picked Geng Chen up again and tied him to his back. This way of carrying a baby was very down-to-earth.

Immediately afterwards,

Lawyer An bent down with an excited mood,

And picked up the purple scroll that had just fallen to the ground from Geng Chen's mouth.

He licked his lips,

With a feeling similar to when Supreme Treasure put on the golden headband at the end of *A Chinese Odyssey*.

A man cannot live a day without power. Once you have tasted the status and position that power brings, losing it again is like the most cruel torture in the world.

"Those people are almost here. How long are you going to hesitate?"

Geng Chen asked.

Lawyer An smiled,

Saying:

"I'm not hesitating, but wanting to enjoy the joy of returning to the peak a little longer. Foreplay is also a very important part of a harmonious life."

After speaking,

Lawyer An held out his palm horizontally.

The scroll unfolded,

Recording the life of the original owner.

This predecessor from over a thousand years ago was called Lu Ping.

Immediately afterwards,

Lawyer An's mental consciousness entered it.

The scroll slowly became illusory,

And finally merged into Lawyer An's palm.

Lawyer An slowly closed his eyes,

Thump, thump, thump.

At this moment,

Everything around seemed to quiet down.

At this moment,

He felt the spotlight shine on his head again.

At this moment,

It was as if he had found the stage that once belonged to him again!

At this moment,

The first constable to arrive here appeared.

He leaped up and jumped to the outside of the alley. He turned his head and took a look, then retracted his body. On his chest was a piece of green leaf, which was also a magic weapon that could help shield his aura. It was hard-won, and he had great confidence in this magic weapon.

"I've found the person."

This constable immediately pinched his constable token and transmitted the message and the coordinates of his location.

He did not act rashly. He didn't think that with his strength, he could easily take down the criminal that the Enforcement Team wanted to capture.

Some merits can be snatched, but some merits are really not to be snatched.

He could sense the aura fluctuations of that person. The other party seemed to be hiding here, or was delayed here by something. He prayed in his heart that the other party would be delayed a little longer, a little longer.

After about five minutes, the figures of four constables appeared here, with their subordinates behind them.

"It's in this alley, on the left."

This constable gestured.

The four constables who had just arrived, as well as a group of ghost guards, had somewhat awkward expressions.

One of the female constables asked:

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. I can still sense his aura now. There are five of us now. We can try to go in. The people from the Enforcement Team should be here soon."

After speaking,

This constable turned around,

And then,

He was stunned,

The alley?

Where did the alley go?

In front of him, there was no alley, but a public toilet, and the left side was the women's toilet.

Just now, he was standing at the entrance of the women's toilet, being careful and vigilant all along!

No wonder the few people who passed by were staring at him and pointing,

No,

This constable was shocked,

Why didn't he find it strange at all when those people were pointing at him just now?

…………

"Ah~~~"

Comfortable,

Getting a foot massage and lying lazily for half an afternoon, even though he didn't fall asleep, it was still a great enjoyment.

Everything needs contrast to be comfortable.

It's like when other students are in class and you're secretly playing on your phone in middle school, you think the phone is really fun and interesting.

When you get to college, you still feel empty when you play on your phone in class, because everyone is playing…

At this time, hundreds of constables and ghost guards were running around the city of Yangzhou like headless flies, while he could take a break from his busy schedule.

Having someone above you,

Is really good.

Thinking about it,

Boss Zhou unconsciously looked up again,

It was very clean above,

Boss Zhou had to sigh that he was really getting a conditioned reflex from that Mountain Eagle.

At the same time, he wondered,

Did that Big Boss also like to lie on the beams of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's temple and swoop down with a "whoosh,"

"Bodhisattva, let's talk about how to find the Mount Tai Ruler!"

Then,

The Big Boss,

Died.

Near dusk,

Zhou Ze and Lao Zhang walked out of the foot massage shop.

As soon as they stood still,

Little Lori's figure appeared over there.

They had been released earlier to make a show.

With the boss taking the lead in being lazy, the people below naturally couldn't be too nervous. Seeing the two sundaes in Little Lori's hand, it was clear that she felt she had gone to slack off.

She also had a new hairpin on her head, Hello Kitty.

This middle-aged woman was really hypnotizing herself into a little girl.

"Other constables have released coordinates, Boss," Little Lori reported, and handed the other chocolate sundae to Zhou Ze knowingly.

"Hmm."

Zhou Ze responded calmly, taking the sundae.

"Are we going?" Lao Zhang asked.

"What are we going for? To catch An Buqi?" Little Lori retorted.

"That's not what I meant. My idea is that we go over there and see if we can create some escape conditions for Lawyer An, maybe do some backup."

"There's no need. Someone is more anxious about An Buqi's safety than us.

Lin Ke, where are the coordinates?"

"In the south of the city."

"Then we'll go to the north of the city and wander around."

"Really, will nothing happen doing that?" Lin Ke asked worriedly, seeming a bit too disrespectful to the higher-ups, it's not like they're directly preparing to go into a firefight.

"If An Buqi can't even escape the first encirclement, then he's not An Buqi.

If we're going to provide backup, we should still go to the north of the city to provide backup. As for the higher-ups, we'll go and intercept in the opposite direction, suspecting that the target is making a feint to the east while attacking in the west. Is there a problem?

Alright, let's go."

So,

When the criminal's coordinates were released in the south of the city, and a large group of constables took their little brothers and swarmed south,

Boss Zhou led his five little brothers,

And ran all the way to the north of the city.

However, before they had run for ten minutes,

The ghost guard certificates and constable tokens on everyone's bodies rang at the same time again,

Little Lori picked up her ghost guard certificate and checked it,

Her face looked a bit ugly as she said:

"Boss, the latest coordinate location is in the north of the city, it seems to be right in front of us."

"Continue forward."

"Swish!"

A shadow appeared beside everyone, constantly moving forward, forward, and forward along the walls of the street. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't notice it at all. Even if you did, you would think it was a normal shift in light and shadow.

However,

After the shadow surpassed Zhou Ze and the others,

A voice actually came from inside,

"I remember you, you're Fourth Master's man."

It was the Mountain Eagle's voice.

Clearly, the Enforcement Team had already taken action.

What Boss Zhou didn't know was that the Enforcement Team had already taken action long ago. The first two Enforcement Team members to take action had already been set up and humanely destroyed by Lawyer An and Geng Chen.

Originally, the Mountain Eagle didn't intend to take action. It would be pretty good to use these constables and ghost guards that he looked down on, and send them to fill the ranks with a human wave tactic.

But then two more people from Team Ding couldn't help it, and took the lead without orders, and as a result, their aura disappeared.

The Mountain Eagle was both angry at the lax discipline of the Enforcement Team after decades of confinement, and was indeed aroused with genuine anger, and personally took action.

If he didn't resolve the target, he would lose face. The three superiors from Team Yi would arrive in Yangzhou in the evening, and he had to handle everything before they arrived.

Zhou Ze looked to the side, and the five ghost guards also looked at the shadow together.

"You're very good. Those constables were tricked like a bunch of idiots and completely deceived, but you weren't.

Do you want to join the Enforcement Team?"

"…………" Zhou Ze.

"Heh, I forgot. As expected of Fourth Master's man, you can't enter Fourth Master's eyes without some ability. You guys make a detour to the west and encircle him, just block him. He's already been bitten by our people."

"Understood."

After speaking,

Zhou Ze waved his hand,

And led the five ghost guards under his command into the road on the west side.

"It's really interesting, it's like filming *Lurking*." Little Lori suddenly said with emotion.

Zhou Ze didn't respond. After running a long distance, everyone stopped.

Except for Zhou Ze and Lao Zhang, Little Lori and Yue Ya and the other four were already panting for breath. The physical fitness of the ghost guards was really worrying.

According to the measurement standards of frontline police in the human world, they would probably fail.

You have to know, this was still on the basis of the fact that the Lycoris Radiata oral solution had solved their eating problems. The physical fitness of the other ghost guards could only be worse.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

In front,

There were several muffled sounds,

Ordinary people might not notice anything,

But people in the Underworld could feel the ghost energy exploding again and again,

The power of the aura was so strong and terrifying,

It made people click their tongues.

"So intense?" Little Lori chewed on bubblegum and blew a bubble, saying, "The person who took action is very powerful. Is it the person just now?"

"Regardless of whether it's the person just now, but with someone of this level taking action, I think it seems that it will really be difficult for us to wait for Lawyer An here again," Zheng Qiang said.

"This battle is a bit big," Yue Ya pursed her lips, "Even from this far away, I feel suppressed in my heart."

With an existence of this level intercepting, can Lawyer An still cross the fire line?

Originally, they thought that they would just provide some support, open a gap, and let An Buqi break through, but who would have thought that things would suddenly turn into this.

"Lao Zhang, find a place to change your clothes now, and cover your face."

"Ah… oh."

"If there's a need later, listen to my command. When I tell you to take action, you take action."

"Okay, Boss."

Lao Zhang immediately ran into a small clothing store in front.

"Boss, are we going to rely on Lao Zhang later?" Little Lori asked.

Obviously, he didn't quite understand Zhou Ze's arrangement, not that he was disagreeing, but wanting to confirm Zhou Ze's attitude.

Whether everyone would tear their faces and start a firefight later, or continue to persevere and watch An Lawyer's fate unfold…

"Lao Zhang has the spirit of a xiezhi (mythical unicorn) in his body, so it doesn't matter even if he is discovered by the people from the Enforcement Team when he takes action," Zhou Ze explained.

"Why?" Zheng Qiang asked subconsciously.

"Are you stupid?" Little Lori glanced at Zheng Qiang, saying, "You have to see who owns the dog when you beat it!

Xiezhi, which is the law beast, the human is still alive, and this is the human world. Even if its human representative does something, even if it slaps that Mountain Eagle who just tricked the boss into joining the team more than a dozen times and throws him into the toilet,

The Enforcement Team wouldn't dare to have any opinions,

And they wouldn't dare to delve into Lao Zhang's identity,

They're afraid of really annoying the xiezhi!

There are many things like this in reality. When the people above fart, the people below can guess countless deeper meanings, just let them guess."

"Oh, I understand," Zheng Qiang suddenly realized, saying, "When Lao Zhang takes action, once the xiezhi's aura is revealed, those people will have to scare themselves first, afraid that they have done something wrong and angered the xiezhi's will. Don't even mention investigation, they probably have to carefully worry about retaliation from the law beast.

So, even if you're a dog, you have to be a dog of a big backer, otherwise it's really suffocating."

Maybe Zheng Qiang was just expressing his emotions a little,

Like a elementary school student writing a composition,

Seeing a sprout growing out of a flower pot on the windowsill, he can also express "Life is so beautiful."

Boss Zhou didn't take it seriously. In fact, he didn't even pay attention to what Zheng Qiang and Little Lori were muttering about.

He was still staring ahead, even though he couldn't see anything, but he could feel how intense the battle was over there, silently calculating how long Lawyer An could last under this level of terror, and if there was no time to rescue him, where would be a cheaper place to choose for Lawyer An's grave…

But as soon as Zheng Qiang finished speaking,

Zhou Ze heard a voice in his heart,

With a hint of clear anger:

"Kill………that……………talkative…………guy…………for…………me…………"
