Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 199: Chapter 116: The Terrifying Punishments of Hell—Good Thing I’m a P.E. Student (6k2)_3

Beside this tall mountain, there is a beautifully designed pavilion with its doors wide open. Countless Yin Messengers in uniform are bustling about, seemingly transporting something.

Above the pavilion’s gate are three bold and powerful characters — Offering Pavilion.

In simple terms, this is the Underworld’s main postal office, plus the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Bank.

Everything burned by mortals is sent here, waiting for Ghost Messengers to collect, and then deliver to the corresponding ghost in the Ghost Realm Castle.

“Brother, what is that mountain next to the Offering Pavilion?” Lu Wenwu asked curiously.

“Ah, you’re referring to that one? That’s the Paper Money Mountain. It’s where paper money and offerings burned incorrectly by people from the Mortal World accumulate when there’s no designated ghost to receive them. Over the years, it has grown into a tall mountain.”

The Ghost General looked at the Paper Money Mountain with deep emotions, his eyes seemed to carry a hint of regret.

“Nowadays, many people have forgotten the proper way to burn paper, or don’t take it seriously. Besides burning paper directly on the appropriate grave, which enables direct point-to-point transfer, other locations must have it burned at designated Underworld courier points to be effective, but… alas!”

Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment and thought that the so-called designated courier points in the Underworld might refer to the roadside locations.

Generally, paper burning is done by drawing an open circle there, scattering a few sheets of money for the wandering ghosts as toll, and a few more as postage for the Underworld couriers.

Those with more knowledge might also burn a note with the famous recipient ghost’s information and grave address, similar to the effect of a delivery slip.

Being a living person, Lu Wenwu hasn’t opened an account in the Heaven and Earth Bank, nor has he engaged in any preemptive paper-burning antics for himself, and thus naturally skips this part and heads straight to the Ghost Realm Castle.

“Speaking of… have I missed two famous attractions in the Underworld?” Lu Wenwu muttered quietly while walking.

The Ghost General proactively stated, “Based on what you just said, you seem not to have visited the square outside the Fifth Hall.”

“Beyond the Fifth Hall, there is the Lotus Platform throne, where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva conducts public Buddhist lectures in Hell to help dissipate the Karmic Force in some souls and lessen their suffering in Hell, or even convert them outright.”

“Speaking of which, the Celestial Realm’s Taiyi Jiuju Celestial Venerable often visits Fengdu City. He usually travels with his disciples and a Golden Boy and Jade Girl, giving lectures and teachings to many Evil Souls across the Hells.”

“If those Evil Souls can comprehend the essence of Taiyi Jiuju Celestial Venerable’s teachings, they could thus be liberated, spared from the nearly endless terrifying punishments.”

Enduring the punishment obediently is just for fun; truly escaping Hell relies on these two.

Either comprehend Buddhist Technique or comprehend Daoist Technique.

It’s unknown whether regular players going through the normal process could gain some understanding from these gods’ teachings.

If it were those protagonists focused on upgrades, they’d definitely be suppressed heavily, jailed in Hell, meet the two gods, gain guidance, achieve great success in both Buddhist and Daoist Techniques, and then emerge flipping everything upside down.

Amidst the chaos or after killing, they might provoke stronger enemies, continue to be heavily suppressed, flee desperately, and obtain fortune…

Anyway, continually repeating the above steps is the way, occasionally sparing time to have a fling, charm points with confidantes +1.

Lu Wenwu reflected with his own perspective in mind.

The distance from Fengdu City to the Ghost Realm Castle isn’t far, and Lu Wenwu soon followed the Ghost General into the Ghost Realm Castle’s area.

Though called a “castle,” this place is a vast expanse, much wider than the Divine Continent itself.

Initially, the ghost mouth gathering was within a fort, and after several expansions, they continued using this name.

Therefore, what many ghosts commonly refer to as the Ghost Realm Castle specifically denotes the narrow sense, presently serving as the Underworld’s capital, which is also the site of the original Ghost Realm Castle.

But in the mortal mythology and legends, all the regions inhabited by Ghost Souls are included within the Ghost Realm Castle’s scope.

Just by approaching this area with the Ghost General, Lu Wenwu could feel a dense Yin Wind mixed with Ghost Qi coming upon him.

The bone-chilling winds brushed against his body, blocked by his strong physical defenses.

This amount of Yin Qi is hardly anything to him now.

Should it be an ordinary person, without any protection immersed in the Yin Qi, they would lose their Qi Blood, diminish their Yang Qi.

Until their Yang Qi and life’s vitality were depleted, they would let go of life.

The Ghost General had a pretty warm heart.

He directly took Lu Wenwu to the nearby City God Temple to handle a residence permit for outsiders, got him an official version of the Underworld ID and a temporary residence proof for extraterrestrial beings.

Though Lu Wenwu was displeased with the Underworld classifying him under extraterrestrial beings.

There was no alternative.

Apart from foreign ghost immigrants being categorized as foreign ghost households, everything else is uniformly considered extraterrestrial beings.

Upon exiting the City God Temple, the Ghost General asked, “Do you have a place to stay in the Ghost Realm Castle? Do you need me to introduce you to famous hotels among the ten districts?”

Upon this question, Lu Wenwu suddenly remembered the two quite interesting Impermanence figures.

Why not visit them first?

After all, he was unfamiliar with the area and had nowhere to go.

In the meantime, think of a way to set up a stall selling pancake rolls with an egg at a high-traffic ghost area here in the Ghost Realm Castle; it’s bound to be a profitable venture.
