Chapter 276 Chaos in the Underworld and the New Situation

The eerie atmosphere of the underworld still loomed. Lu Ling'er had just taken over the job of Judge of the Book of Life and Death. Although still unfamiliar with everything, she was gradually getting a feel for the rhythm and rules of this place. Today, a routine inspection of the underworld gave her a new "task."

"Has the name been confirmed?" Pluto Li Yun frowned slightly as he flipped through a mountain of documents. His tone remained cold, as if nothing in the world could bother him.

"It's confirmed, Lord Hades." Lu Ling'er stood nearby, her mind in turmoil. The work of the Underworld was far more complicated than she had imagined, and she was increasingly aware that this place was far from the world she was familiar with.

Li Yun glanced at her, seemingly dissatisfied with the name, but he didn't show any abnormality. "Well, are you sure it's correct? In that case, go see the King of Hell. He has some urgent matters to attend to today, and he needs to assign you some tasks."

Lu Linger nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled: "King of Hell? Is he the one who controls the Book of Life and Death?"

"Yeah." Li Yun responded calmly, "But, the King of Hell has a temper. You have to be careful not to get yourself into trouble."

Just as she was about to leave, Li Yun added, "By the way, tell the King of Hell that the problem with the Underworld's communication device has not been solved yet. He has to find a solution himself."

"Yes." Lu Linger nodded and hurriedly left the Palace of Hades.

Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang were already waiting outside. When they saw her come out, Hei Wuchang smiled and said, "You've come just in time. Go see the King of Hell. The King of Hell has too many things to do and he doesn't have time to accompany you."

Bai Wuchang added: "However, Hades is right. He has a bit of a temper. You'd better not anger him. Otherwise, hehe..."

Lu Linger's heart tightened, and she nodded quickly: "I understand."

The two men brought her to a solemn hall deep in the underworld. The King of Hell stood in the center of the hall, his back to her, his face stern and his aura oppressive enough to make her feel breathless.

"New here?" Yan Wang's voice was low and impatient. He turned around, his eyes like knives, as if scrutinizing her every move.

"Yes, Lu Linger." She answered in a low voice. Although her heart was beating fast, she tried her best to remain calm.

"Well, in place of 'Lu Xinling'?" Yan Wang frowned slightly. "Do you know anything about her?"

Lu Linger nodded. Although she knew that Lu Xinling's ending was extremely tragic, now was not the time to talk about it.

"In that case," the King of Hell said coldly, "You must be familiar with the rules of the underworld. This is not a safe haven, and you cannot afford to be lax. The Book of Life and Death is in your hands, but you must understand the responsibility behind every entry."

"I understand." Lu Linger lowered her head slightly and swore to herself in her heart: She would never let herself end up in the tragic ending of the original book.

The King of Hell gave her a deep look, seemingly pleased with her attitude, and then said, "Go see Ksitigarbha. He needs your help in handling some special souls. Remember, the work of the underworld does not tolerate any mistakes."

"Yes." Lu Linger did not dare to delay and prepared to leave.

"By the way," the King of Hell suddenly paused, "the Five Great Emperors of the Underworld will be holding a regular meeting soon. You should also attend and learn some advanced matters of the Underworld."

Lu Linger was stunned. Five Great Emperors? She had heard of their reputations. The Five Great Emperors of the Underworld controlled the mysterious forces of different directions, each of them possessing immense power and responsibility.

"Okay, I understand." She nodded in response, but she was secretly thinking in her heart: It seems that the complexity of the underworld is far beyond her imagination.

After leaving Yama's palace, Heibai Wuchang took her to see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was gentle and dignified, and upon meeting her, he smiled and said, "New here, I heard you've started to adapt to the pace of the underworld?"

"Yes, Ksitigarbha." Lu Linger was a little nervous, but still tried to remain calm.

"Work in the Underworld is never easy," Ksitigarbha said with a smile, "especially the missions to save those special souls. Each one is full of challenges. However, the Underworld has always had its own principles. I hope you can understand."

"I will." Lu Linger's heart trembled, knowing that she was not only a messenger who took over the position, but also shouldered part of the responsibility of the underworld.

"In that case," Ksitigarbha looked at her, his gentle eyes showing a hint of concern, "This mission may be a little difficult, but I believe you can complete it."

"Thank you, Ksitigarbha." Lu Linger replied gratefully. She knew that every adult in the underworld had different ideas and tasks, and she had to learn how to find her place in this huge system.
