Chapter 180: Chapter 111: An Impromptu Trip to the Underworld
One might think we’re doing welding here.
No matter how Black and White Impermanence activated the Soul Hook, the hook couldn’t penetrate Lu Wenwu’s body.
“Uh, maybe you guys should save the effort? Your Soul Hook is supposed to specialize in souls, right? I’m descending to the Underworld with a physical body, so it might not work well.”
Lu Wenwu scratched his head awkwardly, giving Black Impermanence an exit.
“It’s just a process anyway, I’m not refusing to go, I’m not resisting either.”
“…”
Black Impermanence was silent for a while, then quietly withdrew the Soul Hook, standing aside looking dejected.
White Impermanence sighed, shook his head helplessly, and pulled out a palm-width, thick Travel Permit from his sleeve to hand it to Lu Wenwu.
“This is your Underworld ID card, keep it safe. If you encounter a Ghost An inspection and don’t have a Travel Permit, you’ll be considered a criminal lone ghost, which will be a big problem.”
Lu Wenwu immediately placed it in his personal backpack, asking solemnly: “Big bro, if it gets lost or accidentally damaged, I mean just in case, what should I do?”
Black Impermanence answered despondently: “Go find the nearest Ox Head or Ma Mian to issue a no criminal record proof, then take this proof to the nearest Earth God Temple or City God Temple to get a replacement. Let’s go, we’ll talk on the way, the Dao is still far.”
Saying this, he and White Impermanence stood on either side of Lu Wenwu, performing peculiar spells with their hands.
Black light patterns spread out to form a sphere, enveloping the three, rising high into the sky quickly heading in a certain direction.
The speed of this light sphere’s flight was extremely fast.
About five minutes after taking off, the towering majestic Ghost Gate was already in sight.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Wenwu asked again: “Big bros, your outfits don’t quite match what’s written in books! Also, I saw Black Impermanence was holding a tablet just now?”
“Oh, you mean this? Yeah, our Underworld has to keep up with the times, right? It’s called Underworld modernization.”
Black Impermanence quickly recovered his spirits, alongside White Impermanence maneuvering the sphere to land, while answering:
“’Prosperity upon first sight’ ’Peace to the world’, and options like ’You’re here too’ ’Catching you now’ retain our classic Black and White Impermanence style.”
“Didn’t expect the Underworld to undergo reform too, really eye-opening,” Lu Wenwu exclaimed in surprise.
Black Impermanence seemed chatty, further explained: “Originally it was because… experience and skills became obsolete, difficult to adapt to new developments and changes in departmental work.”
“Lack of position competition stagnated personal capabilities and work level, unable to effectively enhance professional competence, let alone reach the established goals of Underworld development plan.”
“Lack of inter-departmental, inter-position, inter-functional cooperation experience, causing departments to lack understanding of each other, preventing a cohesive and reasonable overall coordination and cooperation, resulting in inefficient departmental operation, difficult to counter rapid changes, hindering work progress.”
“Promotion and advancement systems were rigid, unclear, with many loopholes due to personal connections, causing heavy inefficiencies in administrative bodies…”
Black Impermanence just kept yada yada, saying a bunch of unrelated stuff.
Finally, stopping reluctantly when they landed in the ghostless area in front of the Ghost Gate.
Here, besides the orderly queue of souls waiting to enter, Lu Wenwu also saw the Underworld’s most famous two security personnel.
Ox Head and Ma Mian.
Of course, not the actual ones.
Just two powerful ghosts dressed in Oxhead and Horseface uniforms.
They stood on either side of the Ghost Gate, metamorphosing into incredibly large forms.
Responsible for guard duty and maintaining Underworld’s yin laws and order, ensuring smooth entry of souls.
