Chapter 272: Mengpo Bridge’s “Special Treatment”

When Lu Linger reached Mengpo Bridge, she saw the old lady with dementia still sitting on the ancient bridge, holding a bowl of black soup. As soon as the old lady saw Lu Linger, she waved enthusiastically, "Hey, here you are! Come and have a bowl of soup!"

Lu Linger glanced at the bowl of soup, a hint of doubt rising in her heart. This place clearly didn't look like a tourist attraction, but rather more like the legendary "Forgetfulness Soup" that could make people forget everything. She asked softly, "Is this soup really drinkable?"

"Of course, if you drink it you will forget everything in your life. This is the rule of the underworld!" Meng Po smiled kindly, but there was a strange meaning in that smile that made Lu Linger shiver.

"Drink it and forget everything?" She swallowed, wondering if she should trust this bowl of soup. She couldn't help but wonder if this "mysterious soup" could really make people forget everything in the past as it claimed.

Meng Po seemed to see her doubts and smiled gently, saying, "Don't worry, it's okay. Drinking this soup will make you forget all your pain, and all you will remember is the first step to rebirth."

Lu Linger hesitated for a moment, thinking that now that she was here, this soup was probably one of the "tasks" she couldn't avoid. She took the bowl and took a cautious sip. Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation sliding down her throat and into her body. The worries in her mind seemed to dissipate in an instant.

"How is it? How is it? It tastes good, right?" Meng Po said proudly, "This is the 'Meng Po Soup' I've been brewing for thousands of years. It's top-notch!"

Lu Linger stared blankly at the soup in the bowl, her vision blurring. She subconsciously grabbed Meng Po's arm and said, "Wait a minute... I think I remember... my name..."

Meng Po smiled even more proudly: "Of course, you remember it now, right? This is my ability! After forgetting, waking up again, you can truly accept a new life."

A few vague memories flashed through Lu Ling'er's mind, but they gradually became unimportant. She looked deeply at Meng Po and whispered, "I'm ready to accept a new mission."

She discovered that she had not lost her memory as the legend had said. Instead, she still retained some fragments of it, especially the "new mission" and "substitute" identity that the Hades had reminded her of. Although the memories had not completely disappeared, that unfamiliar sense of peace still spread in her heart.

"Oh, what a hassle." Lu Linger sighed softly, her heart filled with unknown worries. She had been drawn into this strange world, and her mission was still unclear. The secrets of the underworld and her identity left her confused and helpless.

She glanced around. Meng Po was still sitting there, smiling and holding her bowl, as if all this was just a daily routine. Lu Linger's anxiety began to grow—she could no longer retreat and had to keep moving forward.

"Then what should I do next?" she couldn't help but ask, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes and anxiety in her tone.

Meng Po put down the bowl in her hand, stood up, and looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, go to the Samsara Pool first and wait for the next arrangement. The rules of the underworld cannot be violated. You are now the judge messenger in the underworld who is responsible for the Book of Life and Death. You are responsible for conveying the orders of the underworld and the important task of verifying the Book of Life and Death. Remember to follow your duties."

"Messenger?" Lu Linger was stunned for a moment. "What are the specific duties of the Underworld's messenger?"
