I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

Yangzhou, Yinting.

Yang Wei, the magistrate, put down the file in his hand, looked up at the person at the table, and asked in a deep voice:

"I have been in charge of this underworld for a thousand years. I'm usually so busy and entangled in trivial matters that I rarely have time to relax. I've summoned you here today. Do you know why?"

Across from him, the young man with his head lowered was named Xu An.

Last month ago, he suddenly traveled to Yangzhou in the human world and became a patrol officer under the prefect.

Before he could adapt to his new identity, two murders occurred in Yangzhou.

When everyone was at a loss, the prefect gave him a death order, asking him to solve the case within half a month, otherwise he would be beheaded.

After great efforts and staying up for more than ten nights, Xu An finally caught the criminal.

Before the imagined promotion and salary increase came into being, an earthquake occurred in Yangzhou, affecting thousands of miles away.

In line with the principle of making full use of him since he was useful, the prefect sent him to one of the counties to help comfort the victims and lead the distribution of porridge.

Yesterday, there was a commotion and looting at the soup kitchen. He was scalded by the overturned porridge pot and was stepped on countless times.

After finally getting the situation under control, Xu An returned home and fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the underworld.

He died suddenly less than a month after traveling through time. His life went through so many ups and downs so quickly.

So much so that when he was summoned by the Tongpan of the Yin Court, Xu An was in a state of numbness.

Yang Wei stood in the study for half an hour without saying a word. He buried his head in the files and did not dare to move.

The long wait is too boring.

He was so bored that he started counting the skulls under his feet.

He was so engrossed in counting that he didn't even hear the judge's questions.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no reply, Yang Xu looked a little embarrassed.

"Xu An! I'm asking you a question!"

Startled, Xu An quickly recovered, clasped his fists and saluted, saying as politely as possible:

"Excuse me, sir!"

The corner of Yang Wei's mouth twitched, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked in a more stern voice:

"Do you know why I summoned you?"

I know nothing.

He called me in for a long time without saying a word...

He complained in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. Xu An didn't know the answer to any of the questions:

"The common people don't know."

Looking at Xu An's submissive expression, intimidated by his authority, Yang Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority and snorted:

"You served as a constable in Yangzhou for two years, solving over ten cases, both large and small. This is a great achievement."

"This time, the Yangzhou earth dragon turned upside down, affecting a thousand miles. You helped to distribute porridge to the disaster victims. This is a virtue."

"I, the Yin Court, have always been responsible for judging the merits and demerits of the deceased. Since you have merits and virtues, it is not appropriate to allow you to reincarnate in this way."

"Here, I have a contract with the Underworld. If you sign it, you can serve in my Underworld for the next thousand years without suffering the pain of reincarnation. Are you willing?"

Xu An's eyes lit up. This was completely different from what he had thought when he traveled here.

He originally thought that after traveling to the world of immortals, he would be able to live freely and become an immortal, but he did not expect that he would be exploited to death by the unscrupulous magistrate.

Yesterday he was completely numb, waiting in line to drink Meng Po soup and reincarnate, but he didn't expect that he would have a job today?

This means that for the next thousand years, he will live a stable life with plenty of money and little trouble.

Only a fool wouldn't do that.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said:

"The grassroots are willing."

"Well, in that case, please sign and seal it."

The contract engraved with the Yin Court's mark, which would be included in the book in the future, was spread out, and a satisfied smile appeared on Yang Xu's ghost face.

The Yangzhou Earth Dragon turned over, causing countless deaths and injuries on earth, and the underworld was already overrun with ghosts.

Now, the ghosts waiting in line to be reincarnated are so dense that they are almost filling up his territory.

In the human world, there is still a large group of wandering ghosts waiting to be caught by the underworld officials, but the ghosts’ hands are seriously insufficient.

He was almost exhausted from working on this matter.

Unfortunately, not everyone can be a ghost catcher, as there are strict requirements.

After searching for two days, he finally found Xu An, who met the requirements.

It would be more appropriate to say that he was a constable during his lifetime.

No training is required, you can start work directly.

He originally thought that Xu An might want to be reborn into a wealthy family and become a young master, but he didn't expect that he would foolishly accept it.

Killing two birds with one stone, he is worthy of being the judge.

Next to him, Xu An had no idea what was going on in Yang Wei's devilish head.

After he signed and sealed the contract, he watched the other party put it into the book, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Who would have thought that even though I didn't get a civil service exam while I was alive, I would get one after I died.

At this point, even if there was another system, he wouldn't find it strange.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu An heard a buzzing sound in his mind.

【The Endless Lifespan System is loading.】

"What system?"

Xu An was shocked.

[The Endless Life System has been loaded. As long as you complete the tasks, you can gain life, become immortal, and become stronger.]

Xu An: “…”

After a brief silence, his eyes twitched and he couldn't help asking:

"I'm a ghost, why do I need a long life?"

The system ignored him.

Next to him, Yang Wei saw Xu An still not leaving after signing and sealing the agreement. He stood there with a strange look on his face and couldn't help asking:

"Do you have anything else?"

Xu An came back to his senses and said quickly:

"The common people are fine."

Seeing that he hadn't realized his identity yet and looked a little unintelligent, Yang Wei said sternly:

"This is the Yin Court. When working, you must follow your duties!"

Xu An quickly reacted:

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

Yang Wei nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, step back. Tomorrow you will follow the other underworld officials to capture wandering ghosts in the mortal realm."

"Yes, I resign from my humble position."

Taking two steps back, Xu An turned and walked out of the slightly gloomy Tongpan study.

After closing the door, he looked up at the dark red Yinting Sun and couldn't help but concentrate on checking the system panel he had just obtained.

Name: Xu An

Age: 19+

Position: Yincha

Cultivation: None

Skills: None yet

Talent: None yet

Storage: None

Mall: Can be opened by concentrating

Available life span: No life span available at the moment.

[Main Quest: Follow other Yin messengers to capture a wandering ghost in the world of the living.]

[Completion reward: 90 days of life.]

[Includes a gift pack for beginners.]

The panel is extremely simple.

Xu An looked at the series of "Not Available" and quickly opened the novice gift pack.

This thing directly determines how he can live comfortably in the Yin Court in the future.

With a bang, the gift package exploded in Xu An's mind like fireworks.

【Usable life span +30 days】

[Basic Cultivation Experience Pack +3.]

[Postnatal cultivation method, Yinting Qi training +1.]

A lot of information suddenly appeared in my mind.

After a brief reading, Xu An discovered that this thing was actually the practice method of Yin Ting.

It can help him absorb the power of this land faster and improve his strength.

The basic cultivation experience package is simpler and more direct, and can directly improve his cultivation.

As for one month of life.

Just now.

Xu An still felt that he was a ghost messenger and that it was pointless to have a long life.

But now, the system mall is right in front of me...
