Chapter 2 The Emperor's Gifted Disciple

  The sun sets in the west, and the city is filled with commuters rushing home from work. The bus station is crowded with people, and the streets are increasingly congested with small vehicles, both motorized and non-motorized, all waiting in long queues.

  On the bustling streets, various promotional activities have not stopped yet. The sounds of music, noise and car horns cover the entire area. The only quiet place is one's own small home, where there is no noise and no crowds.

  At this time, the underworld was also like this. The underworld had ghosts reporting at all times, and the gloomy underworld had no noise, only the coming and going of fleeting ghosts. Yan Wang was sitting in the main hall, judging the wrongly killed ghosts. Gao Le, on the other hand, seemed to be ignoring Yan Wang. From time to time, he would glance at the ghosts wandering outside the gate, knowing what it felt like to have no chance of reincarnation. He wanted to help these ghosts, but Yan Wang wouldn't let him. This made Gao Le and Yan Wang incompatible.

  After a long interrogation, Gao Le had to go to the Wheel of Rebirth to check. Generally, ghosts who died young were either killed suddenly or murdered, which led to the legend of "replacement ghosts". The deceased must find their killer in order to be reincarnated; otherwise, if they are reborn before their evil energy is dispelled, they will die prematurely. Therefore, Gao Le had to strictly guard every ghost who was qualified for reincarnation. On each ghost's forehead, there was a code, just like the checkout counter at a supermarket. Those with codes were allowed into the Wheel of Rebirth, while those without were detained on the spot and thrown into the tenth layer of the underworld prison.

  Gao Le held the list of wronged souls in his hand, calling out their names one by one. After confirming, he let them reincarnate. If there were any who did not want to reincarnate, they could serve in the underworld for a hundred years and then be allowed to take office in the underworld. Usually, no ghost was willing, so Gao Le didn't say much more. With a wave of his hand, the ghosts on the wheel of rebirth disappeared into thin air.

  After settling all the affairs in the underworld, Gao Le was about to ascend to the world above when he was stopped by King Yan.

  "The ruler of the underworld, Gao Le listens to your orders!" Gao Le then knelt on one knee.

  "Attention, all units!"

  "Due to the presence of resentful spirits and evil ghosts everywhere, the mortal world is filled with heavy killing energy! The ruler of this underworld, Gao Le, has been ordered to take charge of it. Now, a new person, Zhou Feng, will be assigned under your command." As soon as Yan Wang finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a person appeared beside Gao Le. This person was Zhou Feng.

  After watching Yan Wang disappear, Gao Le stood up and said to Zhou Feng: "Hello, I am Gao Le, the ruler of the underworld!"

  He finished speaking and stretched out his right hand, but at this time Zhou Feng didn't know what it meant, staring at Gao Le in confusion. Suddenly, Zhou Feng knelt down on both knees and exclaimed: "Master! What do you mean!? I don't understand!"

  At this time, Gao Le couldn't help but laugh again. When did he become the master? He hurriedly helped Zhou Feng up and said: "Don't call me master anymore, just call me big brother!" Suddenly, Gao Le remembered what his master had said before his death, and he returned to being cold and aloof.

  "Big brother, don't worry, I'm a ghost under Yan Wang's command, and I've been in the underworld for 100 years. Today is my birthday, so Yan Wang called me to assist you!" Zhou Feng explained.

  Gao Le was shocked in his heart, and there were indeed those who did not want to reincarnate! This is really rare! A faint smile floated onto his face. He led Zhou Feng to the front of the transmission belt.

  "How did you die?" Gao Le joked.

  "Don't laugh! I'm just like you, my life has been tough since I was a kid. Both of my parents passed away! Then I didn't want to harm anyone else, so I jumped into the river to end my own life. At that time, I was only eight years old!" After finishing speaking, Zhou Feng seemed to be somewhat saddened.

  Gao Le thought of himself upon hearing this. If his master hadn't taken him in, he might have ended up like Zhou Feng too. As he thought about it, Gao Le patted Zhou Feng's left shoulder with his hand.

  With a flicker of his eyes, Gao Le led Zhou Feng to his own shop. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Zhou Feng was still on guard, his eyes scanning around. Seeing that Zhou Feng had not adapted yet, Gao Le said: "This is the Yang world now. The current Yang world is not like your previous one. You will be guarding here soon! If someone comes, you help him calculate his fate. If he doesn't come to calculate his fate but to find me, take this talisman and burn it, I'll know!" After finishing speaking, Gao Le turned on the lights and computer in the shop.

  But Zhou Feng didn't know what to do. Gao Le looked at Zhou Feng and thought, "Having been in the underworld for a hundred years, he should know something! I'll get him to demonstrate it for me."

  "Zhou Feng! You've been in the underworld for so long, what have you learned?!" Gao Le asked.

  "I'll be back soon, you watch!" With that, Zhou Feng walked out of the store.

  He only saw his feet lightly flip, and his body flew into the sky. Then with a wave of his hand, small snowflakes began to fall from above. This made Gao Le want to laugh but he couldn't. He just said: "Alright! You come down first, I'll teach you how to make paper people!" After that, he took out white paper and bamboo strips from the shop.

  At this time, Zhou Feng was standing in front of the door, looking at Gao Le's hands holding a sheet of white paper, and in no time, it became a human figure. It felt very easy, and he didn't know if he could do it himself! So he followed suit and started making one too.

  Seeing Zhou Feng's tall and cheerful figure stand up and say: "You'll stay here tonight to make paper people, make five hundred of them and I'll be back!"

  After finishing speaking, he walked towards the street, seeing Gao Le's disappearing figure. Zhou Feng didn't dare to be distracted either, because at least he had something to do now! The night sky occasionally hung with small whirlwinds, which in technical terms were called ghost winds, and Zhou Feng wasn't surprised at all.
