Chapter 275: Duties in the Underworld

Lu Ling'er closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt an unprecedented heaviness. Everything before her seemed blurry, and her heart was in a fierce struggle. She could have given up this mission and lived a stable life, but deep down, she told herself that she couldn't escape. She couldn't give up the opportunity to return to her original world.

She recalled the time she had spent with Yun Junrui, the happy times she had with her friends, the dependence and support, and even the painful moments. Everything seemed like a memory that would never be erased from her life. However, she knew that the real choice was now, and she could no longer hesitate.

"I accept." Her voice was firm and clear. "Whatever the cost, I am willing to take on this responsibility."

Li Yun looked at her, his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Very good. You made the right choice."

However, Li Yun's tone was cold: "But remember, this is not just a task. Everyone who makes a choice must be responsible for their own choice."

Just as Li Yun finished speaking, Lu Linger felt a powerful force coming, and the aura of the entire underworld seemed to instantly envelope her. She felt her consciousness gradually blurring, and the surrounding scenery became blurred, as if she was about to be sent to a new world.

Finally, she looked at Li Yun, without a trace of hesitation in her eyes: "I am ready, Hades."

The moment Lu Linger finished speaking, a powerful force swept over her from all directions, and she felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning. The scene before her quickly dissipated, replaced by a new and unfamiliar environment.

She stood in an ancient and magnificent hall, surrounded by towering black stone pillars. The walls were inlaid with shimmering runes, and the air was filled with a solemn and serene atmosphere. In the center of the hall stood a solemn black table, upon which lay the Book of Life and Death from Hades. The cover was engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint glow.

"This is your new working environment." Li Yun's voice came from behind. He stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at Lu Linger calmly.

Lu Ling'er turned, gazing at the new world she was about to enter, a sense of unease still lingered within her. Although she had made her decision, it didn't mean she was fully prepared to accept it. Standing there, she felt a responsibility and pressure she had never felt before, as if the fate of the entire underworld weighed heavily on her shoulders.

"This book of life and death, and the red pen, will be your only mission from now on." Li Yun's voice sounded again, low but full of pressure. "You will be responsible for verifying the fate of every soul and ensuring they enter reincarnation on time. Every record determines the destination of a soul. You are not only a messenger of the underworld, but also a witness and judge of this world."

Lu Ling'er slowly walked towards the table, her gaze fixed on the thick book of life and death. Its pages were yellowed, its cover a worn veneer, as if it held countless secrets. Beside it lay an ordinary red brush, its vibrant color, as if awaiting her choice. An unprecedented sense of responsibility surged within her, as if the fate of the entire underworld depended on these two simple objects.

She gently stroked the Book of Life and Death, her fingertips touching the ancient paper. Suddenly, time seemed to freeze in that moment. She knew this wasn't just about managing the Book of Life and Death. Every life, every soul, was under her control. Every name, every fate, would be written under her pen. The future was inextricably linked to hers. This wasn't just a task; it was a responsibility from which there was no turning back.

She took a deep breath, a determined glint in her eyes. She was no longer the girl who relied on others. Every decision she made would determine countless lives, deaths, and reincarnations.

"You will encounter many difficulties," Li Yun added. "The fate of some souls is not simple. You have to learn to judge, learn to choose, and sometimes you can't avoid letting your own emotions get involved."

"I understand." Lu Linger responded in a low voice. Although she was still a little shaken in her heart, she knew that this was the choice she made and she had to face it bravely.

"Let's get started." Li Yun's voice no longer held any hesitation. "I will provide you with guidance, but the final decision and responsibility still lies in your hands."

Following Li Yun's instructions, Lu Ling'er reached out and gently opened the first page of the Book of Life and Death. The words on the first page appeared before her like a spell, recording the name of each soul and their corresponding fate. Her fingers lingered over the lines of ink, and she took a deep breath, accepting the challenge of her new identity.

This is not just a job in the underworld, but also a game between her, herself and fate.

Just as she was concentrating on the Book of Life and Death, suddenly, the words on the pages began to change quietly, and a new line of words appeared before her eyes.

"Task One: Judge a lost soul."

Lu Ling'er frowned slightly, puzzled. Judging a lost soul? This was clearly her first mission, one that meant she had to make a decision, one that would determine the future of a lost soul.

She took a deep breath and shifted her gaze to the next line of text in the Book of Life and Death, ready to meet this challenge from the underworld.
