Different World: The Devil's Coming

Li Xiang stood up and ran over, slamming his hands heavily on the table in front of him, startling the woman behind the table. Li Xiang stared at the woman in front of him, with a thousand questions in his mind, but now that he saw her, he didn't know what to ask first. It took him a long time to utter: "Where is this place?"

"This is an ideal place. After death, people will spend the best and most ideal days here before being reincarnated." The woman calmed down and answered lightly.

But Li Xiang's heart was in turmoil. After death? What a joke, I was still alive this morning! ! How could I die inexplicably? Thinking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help but yelled angrily at the woman in front of him.

"What the hell are you talking about!!! I'm going to die just because I took an elevator? What a joke!!! Where is your boss? I want to complain to you! What utopia? I'm afraid you just fired me because the performance at the end of the year is not good enough?"

The woman was stunned by the shouting, perhaps she was frightened, or perhaps she had never thought that there would be complaints about this position. However, she still flipped through the book in front of her with a professional spirit. After learning Li Xiang's name and the last place he appeared in memory, she began to search in the book. However, the more she searched, the more strange it became to her, because as the conditions narrowed down, the names of the deceased became fewer and fewer, until finally...

The woman was a little confused, because there was no one dead named Li Xiang in the elevator, and there was only one Li Xiang in the city. But Li Xiang did appear here, what was going on?

"I'm sorry, I haven't found any information about your death. Calm down. I'll go find an immortal to show you what's going on. Please wait a moment."

The woman could only comfort Li Xiang first, and then hurried to find someone.

"Damn it, how come I'm still working like this even in heaven? I blame the boss for anything I can't handle. I just hope I don't play the same tricks on earth in heaven. Each department keeps passing the buck to me." Li Xiang thought of his days in the company and started cursing again.

After a while, the woman came back, followed by an old man. The old man immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Xiang.

"Hiss~ Young man, your life span is not over yet, why are you here?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Li Xiang, who had barely managed to calm down and was preparing to ask for some benefits in his next life, exploded at that moment: "Why?! Why!! I want to know why too!! I was still working on New Year's Eve. Was it easy for me? I could have gone home and had a good sleep after finishing the last order, but I took an elevator to heaven. Now you're still asking me why? I didn't go home to celebrate the New Year with my parents on New Year's Eve, and now I'm leaving for no reason, leaving them to see their son off..."

As Li Xiang was talking, he started to cry out of grievance. The old man and the woman were also a little stunned. Why did this person start to cry while scolding him? The two of them hurriedly comforted Li Xiang. After Li Xiang calmed down a little, the old man began to ask questions. Li Xiang's words revealed a strange elevator, so the problem was in the elevator. But what kind of elevator could be connected here? The old man took out a book and started to look it up.

The woman started chatting with Li Xiang, trying to comfort him to prevent him from breaking down, and she also corrected one of his mistakes.

"What did you say? This isn't heaven? This is hell? You're kidding, but this... this..."

Li Xiang was a little confused. Isn't this the same as the paradise in foreign legends? The woman was also a little confused. After all, she didn't say this was paradise. Why did this man think this was paradise? And wasn't he Chinese?

"Yes, this is the underworld. After all, heaven only gives people a sense of happiness. Only the underworld can reflect everyone's desires, right? And desires are usually everyone's ideals, so there is nothing wrong with calling it a utopia."

"But...but...shouldn't the underworld be pitch dark, with ghosts everywhere, and Meng Po, the King of Hell, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons? Why is this..."

"You're right, but we found that people's desires from their previous lives may be carried over into their new lives, which means that the previous life will affect a life that should be completely unrelated. So we let the dead vent all their desires in this utopia, whether it's greed for money or lust, or wanting to be a hero and save the world, it can all be done here. And people vent their desires very quickly, or they get bored easily? In short, they vent their desires in a few days."

At this point the woman couldn't help but frown, seeming a little confused about it, but Li Xiang knew why and said it directly.

"It's very simple, because people are greedy. As the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible. So many people spend their whole lives obsessed with money. However, when they come here, they don't need money for anything, so they lose their biggest goal. Then they find that apart from money, they seem to have too many regrets in their lives, so they start to pursue things that they have never or dared not pursue, such as games, women, delicious food and beautiful scenery. But when a person gets and enjoys those things here, then all of this will become boring, because they are all dead, right?"

"You people are so hard to understand. You live for money and suffer a lot, but when you die, the money is useless and you don't know what to do. It's so troublesome and complicated."

"It's not that complicated actually. Greed runs through everything. When people are alive, they are greedy for a better life. For example, I want to buy the most expensive games, I want to play with the most beautiful women, I want to eat the best food, and I want to see the most beautiful scenery. I am also greedy for these things after death, but it's useless. After all, all these things you enjoy after death can't bring you a new life. After thinking it through, it's better to let go of desires and reincarnate as soon as possible."

The woman nodded, not quite understanding, and Li Xiang was very excited. After all, he was just a humble worker. How could he have the opportunity to interact with girls? And it seemed that the young lady in front of him was quite pretty. What's more, this was the underworld! ? Then this young lady was... So now, bragging in front of her, Li Xiang felt just one word - cool.

At this time, the old man seemed to have finished his investigation. He came over and interrupted the conversation between the two and said to Li Xiang: "I'm sorry, young man. It seems that there was a small mistake on our side. Your life span has not yet ended. You still have more than ten years to go. But it is definitely impossible for you to go down again. After all, you have come this far. How about we go through the process? I will add this life span to your next life?"
