Chapter 271: New Mission in the Underworld

Lu Ling'er stood in the hall of the underworld, the chilly atmosphere still lingering. She couldn't help but shudder, looking up at the King of Hell, who always wore a cold expression behind the desk. He was hunched over the desk, looking impatient. "Alright, alright, hurry up! I'm leaving."

Lu Linger curled her lips helplessly, thinking to herself that the King of Hell was truly an example of inefficiency. She couldn't help but mutter, "I know, I know. You said the same thing the last time I came here."

"Is this your attitude? You don't want the system anymore?" Yan Wang frowned, his words threatening.

"If there is a system, there is a system. There is no choice anyway." Lu Linger curled her lips. She had already made up her mind that since she traveled to this place, she could only accept this fate. Anyway, no matter what, she had to figure out what this "system" was and see if she could change her destiny.

"That's right." Yan Wang nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer. "But let me remind you, your current identity is to represent 'Lu Xinling'. If anyone asks you, remember to say you are her, otherwise you will have to deal with any trouble yourself."

Lu Linger was stunned: "Why am I still a substitute?"

The King of Hell remained calm. "Well, logically speaking, the underworld wouldn't have this kind of disorder, but this time it was just bad luck. Who made you a 'substitute'?"

"Okay, let it be a substitute." Lu Linger sighed, and began to sigh in her heart that the operation of the underworld was really "full of loopholes", it was like a system made by a "working man".

"The system will be delivered in due time. You just wait here for a while." The King of Hell finally stood up and clapped his hands. "Go to Mengpo Bridge to get the soup, then go to the Samsara Pond and start your new life."

"A new life?" Lu Linger blinked, her heart already churning. This meant she was about to enter another world, a world that might be inextricably linked to the fate of the "vicious cannon fodder" in the novel.

"By the way, don't forget, your mission is not simple. As the replacement for 'Lu Xinling', you have to complete the work in the Palace of Pluto before you have a chance to go back." The King of Hell seemed to finally remember something and added with a hint of ambiguous warning in his tone.

Lu Linger's heart skipped a beat. Was this the price of "travelling through time"? She was practically going crazy: "What do you mean? I've already married and had children in her place in the book. Can I go back later? And solve all her problems for her?"

The King of Hell smiled coldly: "Of course, otherwise you think you will have an easy time? You have to earn your own destiny."

Lu Linger gritted her teeth, her mind already made up: since things had come to this, she could only bite the bullet and move on. She had to understand the framework of the novel she was in and must not repeat the tragic ending of "Lu Xinling". Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

"By the way, when can I get that 'system'?" she asked curiously.

The King of Hell waved his hand lazily: "Don't worry, communication has been a bit slow lately. Go to Meng Po's place first to drink some soup, and then we'll talk about it after you return to your soul."

Lu Linger sighed helplessly and turned to walk towards Mengpo Bridge. She knew that this misunderstanding in the underworld might change her entire life, even her future destiny.
