Chapter 1 This World Never Lacks Smart People

In this world, there is never a shortage of smart people; they are always able to stand in the most advantageous position for themselves, pursuing the maximization of their own interests.

They don't value too many honors, and if these honors can't be converted into tangible benefits, they discard them like worn-out shoes.

Like Feng Si at this moment.

Back then, Feng Si was like a small henchman in Causeway Bay,

Following behind Lawyer An, either hacking people or being chased by them;

Lawyer An was troubled by love, and in a moment of impulse, took a wrong step, ending up in a miserable state of wandering in the Yang realm. Feng Si was more composed in this regard.

He didn't love others very much, because he loved himself the most, so he was rational.

He saw Old Zhangtou sneaking out of the city under the cover of that behemoth,

But he didn't make a sound,

Instead, he pretended to be completely unaware,

Inviting Old Zhangtou to "kill" their way back together,

To scrape off some benefits before the overall situation was settled.

This time, after this wave, many Judge positions should be vacated, and Old Zhangtou also has a good chance of taking another step forward.

It's laughable to say, but while his colleagues' bodies were still cold, Feng Si was thinking more about the distribution of benefits afterward.

Of course,

If it were just this, it certainly wouldn't be worth Feng Si helping Old Zhangtou conceal it.

What Feng Si valued was the role Old Zhangtou played in the whole affair.

In fact, Feng Si had a bold guess: this large-scale siege by behemoths was just a smokescreen, and its purpose was to cover Old Zhangtou.

This guess was bold, but not entirely impossible.

The situation in the Yin Citadel has long been declining, and everyone is actually waiting, waiting for it to completely collapse.

Anyway, with the experience of changing cars and boats a thousand years ago, they could just do it again. But in the new system, what position they can achieve and how much benefit they can get depends on their individual opportunities and operations during this period.

Old Zhangtou clearly knew that Feng Si had seen him coming out,

Even though he had been very, very careful,

Who knew there would be such a shameless person lying next to a behemoth's corpse, pretending to be dead to watch the battle?

But since Feng Si didn't expose him, and even took the initiative to help him cover it up, Old Zhangtou didn't say anything, nodded, and followed Feng Si back to "counterattack the main city."

Feng Si was constantly paying attention to the changes in Old Zhangtou's expression.

Old Zhangtou is a good person.

To use a favorite phrase of Lawyer An's,

He liked good people very much,

Because it was convenient to trick them, and reliable to cooperate with them.

Old Zhangtou, despite doing the work of a "traitor," didn't show any shame or embarrassment, which surprised Feng Si.

Because Old Zhangtou wasn't this kind of person; if he was coerced or for some other reason, forcing him to work for the behemoths, he wouldn't be so open and aboveboard.

The two began to walk towards the main city,

And over there,

Qin Guang Wang's Dharma body was already fighting with the black monkey.

Their clash made the surrounding area tremble non-stop.

At first,

The two sides were evenly matched,

But gradually,

The black monkey seemed to be retreating,

Qin Guang Wang's elite subordinates were also driving and exterminating those behemoths exuding a strong aura of death.

The situation,

Had actually been brought under control.

Not to mention that there must be several Yama Kings already on their way.

Near the collapsed city wall,

It was full,

Of corpses.

Many government officials died, and not a few behemoths were "liberated." This is Hell, this is the Yin Citadel, but the scene before them was already the hell within hell.

Ahead, a huge centipede with half of its tentacles cut off was being besieged.

Feng Si and Old Zhangtou exchanged a look and rushed up to help together.

Shortly after,

The centipede was taken care of.

Before being killed,

Feng Si noticed,

In the centipede's eyes,

Similarly,

What was revealed was a kind of relief.

Death, for them, really was an end, a liberation from endless years of imprisonment.

Feng Si had never been a battery, so he didn't know the pain of being a battery. If he had the chance to return to the Yang realm and visit the pharmacy next to the Late Night Bookstore, he could personally chat with Gou Xin about it.

Perhaps,

The only one who could understand this feeling,

Was Gou Xin,

But,

Gou Xin had only been lying there for half a year.

Old Zhangtou was injured, his soul body was injured by the centipede's venom, and he had to retreat.

Feng Si was also injured.

Before the centipede died,

He let the centipede's tentacles pierce him,

And had to retreat as well.

The two showed their faces together, then gloriously suffered injuries together, and retreated together, sitting in a corner by the city wall.

In the distance,

They were still fighting,

But as the Yama King's Dharma body appeared here,

The balance of victory,

Had really been lost.

In recent years,

There have indeed been many incidents in the Yin Citadel.

First, the Equality King's palace was bloodbathed, then that resurrected one stirred up Hell, and now this time, the Yin Citadel has suffered a great loss of face each time.

But in any case, given the Yin Citadel's foundation, it still has unparalleled control over Hell. These are actually enjoying the benefits of the founding generation.

The system is good, the organization is good,

Occasionally suffering a setback or stumbling doesn't have much impact. As long as you are stronger than the other small forces, your position as the boss cannot be shaken.

Old Zhangtou checked his injuries,

Closed his eyes,

Seeming a little tired.

Feng Si rubbed his hands,

And said:

"Aren't you going to say something?"

"Say what?"

Old Zhangtou asked.

"You know what I'm asking." Feng Si smiled. "If I wanted to report you, I would have done it already. I've shown my sincerity. Now it's your turn."

"Heh."

Old Zhangtou sneered,

The integrity of a "good person" revealed a strong and undisguised contempt.

Feng Si touched the tip of his nose,

Honestly,

Given his and Lawyer An's previous style,

They had almost become the natural public enemies of all good people at their level, like the imperial guards in ancient times, despised by righteous people.

"I really don't want to say anything to someone like you."

Feng Si didn't get angry when he heard this. He had the ability to endure insults; being scolded a few times wouldn't cost him a piece of flesh.

He just said:

"But what you just did seems to be even more that kind of... than someone like me..."

There are traitors, and there are legal traitors, so what is this, a Yin traitor?

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"

"At this point, denying it is really meaningless. You're not insulting my intelligence, you're insulting yourself."

Feng Si pointed to his own eyes,

And continued:

"Many things are mutual. If I find that I can't get any secrets or information from you, I can turn around and sell you out. Who knows, I, this original red-belt Judge, might be able to change color because of it."

"This boat is about to sink, and you're still..."

"A broken boat still has three nails left, don't you think?"

Old Zhangtou sighed,

Smacked his lips,

And said:

"Actually, telling you really doesn't matter. It's not that I'm afraid of your threats. At worst, I'll just kill myself. I don't believe that even if my soul is destroyed, the Yama Kings and Bodhisattvas can have the ability to bring me back to life."

"Right, secrets easily cause problems if kept for too long."

Before them,

Yin Citadel's soldiers passed by from time to time.

Some acquaintances

Were still greeting Feng Si and Old Zhangtou.

The two of them were in this noisy, public environment,

Openly talking about this kind of rebellious thing.

The most dangerous place is often the safest place.

"I'm not afraid of you reporting me, because you can't go."

"Not necessarily."

"Heh, this matter is related to An Buqi."

Feng Si was stunned for a moment, and said:

"I used to admire him very much, but I still think he doesn't have the ability to participate in this matter."

He had just seen him recently,

And he didn't know if An Buqi had returned to Tong City at this moment.

"An Buqi recognized a boss in the Yang realm."

"I know, a bookstore owner."

He had also just seen him.

"This siege was actually to cover me."

"Uh-huh, a big show, really."

For an honest person to get to this point, he really can do it.

So many ancient behemoths came to support you, to assist you.

"When the city fell, I went to the main government office."

Hearing this,

Feng Si's gaze sharpened,

The Ten Yama Kings are ten powerful princes,

This Yin Citadel's main city is only responsible for maintaining the daily operations of Hell,

Maintaining the order of Yin and Yang.

And this main government office,

It is equivalent to the nominal central area of the Yin Citadel.

Although it doesn't have the real power to command the Yin Citadel,

But inside,

There is an archive,

Recording and collecting everything about the Yin Citadel,

There are records of various archive events, as well as records of promotions and demotions, and records of merits. Every official in the Yin Citadel has a name on the books here.

To use an analogy from the Yang realm,

It's like a central computer.

"That's not easy to get into." Feng Si said with emotion.

"Yeah, that's why we had to siege the city. After the siege, there were still many behemoths clearing the way for me. Many, many died."

Feng Si nodded, signaling Old Zhangtou to continue.

"I went to the main government office and found a document, and changed the information about a person."

"How is that possible? The identity in the Yin Citadel is stable, how can you change it as you please? I don't..."

"That Zhi Monkey, you saw it too, right?"

Feng Si was shocked.

"The Yin Citadel's system was established by that one. Is it difficult for that one to change something?"

Indeed,

It's not difficult.

"What did you change?"

Old Zhangtou shook his head. "I'm only responsible for changing it, changing it according to instructions. It's not that I'm keeping it a secret from you, it's that I myself don't understand what those things I changed represent. It's like a password, and it's still floating around you."

"The name of the person you changed, you know that, right?"

"Didn't I just tell you?"

"Zhou... Ze?"

Old Zhangtou didn't answer, which was considered a default, and then continued:

"You're a bad person, you have experience.

Tell me,

Is my behavior considered a Yin traitor?"

Feng Si couldn't quite keep up with Old Zhangtou's train of thought. He was also digesting this matter, but still instinctively replied:

"About eighty years ago, when I returned to the Yang realm, they were fighting a war."

"Oh, I know that."

"You, you're like a lurking agent in a puppet government."

"Puppet government?"

Repeating these three words, and then specifically looking at Feng Si's expression, feeling Feng Si's change of position,

Old Zhangtou couldn't help but laugh,

"You really are a bad person."
