[The Coldness of the Ghost Lamp] The Underworld Manuscript

In the magistrate's office in the underworld, a young man wearing rimless glasses, propping his face with one hand, was casually flipping through the application form in his hand. He slapped the table and stood up, "It's too much! These old bastards! Do you know how difficult it is for that damned ghost of Neon to get a place for exchange?! Actually, both of them Give up such an opportunity, I would rather go to the hell of Bangzi Country to eat kimchi!"

The secretary next to him looked up at the sky and complained in his heart: It is because that neon ghost can be judged as "difficult" by Mr. Lu Juan, so everyone keeps away from it, but he still coughed, "Mr. Lu Juan, please Pay attention to your own words, you just said 'fuck' right-please don't use such vulgar words..."

"I see. It's just that I feel extremely angry at those who wasted my efforts." Lu judge held up an application form, "Look, there are even applications to go to a certain tribe in Africa, but they didn't go to Neon Yes! Then why am I so busy! Now I think of the paralyzed face of that ghost shaking S and feel angry..."

"Excuse me... this is the place to submit the exchange application form... Ah, ah! Master Lu!" A head poked into the office through the open door, "Master Lu is here!" The door was opened, and the door The person came in holding an application form.

Lu Pan rubbed his chin, had he seen this little girl somewhere?Because of the population explosion after the war, the manpower of the underworld increased a lot, and it was a bit difficult for him to remember them all, but this should be the newcomer who was hired last month, right?

Now the threshold for recruiting ghost messengers in the underworld is getting higher and higher. In addition to being innocent and innocent in this world, you must also die without resentment. It is best to have a little merit and have a college degree before death. Humans——in short, what the underworld lacks most is human beings.

But such a high standard has also created a bottleneck in the local recruitment of new ghosts.

By the way, is this girl called Ding Xiaocao or Ding Xiaohua?Lu Juan rubbed his chin. The other party was a girl who died suddenly before the age of 20. It seemed that she had just been in college for a year when she died, right?Now the girl is holding the application form and handing it out to him with an extremely nervous look.

The name on the application form read: Ding Xiaocao, the current position is the clerk of Tongue Pulling Hell—that is, a civil servant?Are there a little more scribes in Tongue Pulling Hell?When I looked down, I realized that the exchange area this girl applied for was... Neon? ! ! ! ! !

Finally one is here!My painstaking efforts were finally not in vain!Can someone finally understand the feeling of almost having a stomach ulcer when facing that paralyzed face?This girl is quite promising!

The secretary looked at his family's hand clutching the application form, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: In fact, Judge Lu just wanted to find someone to understand that he had to face a certain facial pain every time he made diplomacy, right? ...

"Well, Lord Judge Lu? Can't you pass..." Ding Xiaocao also heard from the seniors in Hell that the Hell has now added foreign exchange programs because of rectification and new crimes. After going out to study for four years, come back directly. You can go to work in the Palace of the Great Emperor in Fengdu, where the salary is relatively high, and you may even be able to serve as a judge, which is much better than a small clerk who has never made it all his life.

After all, four years is not a long time for ghosts, just like four years in college. Ding Xiaocao only studied in college for one year before he died. It should be for reincarnation.However, due to some special reasons, he became a ghost messenger, and now he has only practiced in Tongue Pulling Hell for a month.

"Ah, of course." Lu Pan picked up the seal next to it and stamped it on the application form, stamping a red seal.Then he reached out and touched Ding Xiaocao's head: "It was a great help."

Even if no one wants to go there, the next time they have to face that paralyzed ghost in diplomacy, they will be laughed at and say that the underworld is a bunch of cowards!

Only this...absolutely!right!No!want!Bet on his experience of working in the underworld for thousands of years!

"Eh? Eh?!" You don't even need an audit? !Ding Xiaocao once again refreshed his world view on the work efficiency of the judge's hall - just passed it like this?

"Because you are the only one who applied for the exchange quota to go to Neon Hell. There was only one..." the secretary said to her during the lunch break, "Why did you think of going to Neon Hell?"

"There are various reasons. On the one hand, it is because of the East Asian cultural circle, and on the other hand, it is because of the diet problem... In short, I definitely don't want to go to Korea to eat kimchi for four years, and everyone said that I will go out for gold plating and come back to upgrade. The job is relatively fast, and I personally want to visit the operation mode of hell abroad, so I..." Ding Xiaocao took a bite of the poached egg with a fork, "But then again, why do you know that Lord Judgment approved my proposal all at once? When you applied, did everyone look so strange? They seemed to be very sympathetic..."

"Ahem... This is not sympathy, but I hope you can learn to return to China soon." The secretary wiped the sweat off his face, yes, this girl is a newcomer, and she has no idea what the guy over there looks like... ...It's also because she doesn't know, otherwise, where can I find another bully... In short, Ding Xiaocao, in order to make up for the mental torture you will suffer in the past four years, Lord Judge Lu will definitely find you a job in the judge's hall when you come back Yes, the salary is much higher than that of being a small scribe in Tongue Hell now...

The secretary swallowed his saliva while thinking this way, and when Ding Xiaocao said happily: "Really? You are so kind to me." When the breath stuck in his throat, he choked to death—— I always feel that it's a bit bad. It's really...

is it safe?

One month later, Ding Xiaocao set foot on the airport land of Neon Hell. Because of the diplomatic relationship between the two sides, her visa did not take long to move down. "Study hard for four years." She clapped her hands , "But shouldn't we find the pick-up staff first?"

However, there is only one place to study here. It is really worth cherishing the hard-won opportunity. The officials on the side of Emperor Fengdu always said that there is a very capable ghost here. I don’t know if I can see it this time.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaocao couldn't help scratching her head. To be honest, when the ghost was mentioned, the expressions of the officials were very subtle. I always felt that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong...

In short, ghosts and gods should be similar to ghosts, right?Before coming here, I searched all kinds of things that need to be paid attention to on the Internet of hell. In short, I should find the person who came to pick me up first, right?Lu Juan said that someone will pick up the plane there.Just don't know what kind of person it is.

Ding Xiaocao is not tall. After passing the security check, she craned her neck to look around in the crowd. There were people holding a sign to meet the plane, but she still couldn't find her sign. "It's strange... Mr. Judgment Lu clearly said that someone will pick up the plane?" Just as Ding Xiaocao was standing there and didn't know which way to go, a fuzzy, unidentified white object rushed to her feet. , When I took a closer look, I found that it was a white puppy tied with a belt similar to a sumo wrestler.

She knelt down, "This is..."

"Are you a ghost messenger from China?" The white puppy said, "Hey, don't ghosts in China have horns? They don't have pointy ears either!"

"..." Ding Xiaocao didn't know how to answer when he heard a deep male voice explain, "Ghosts and ghosts in China are the same thing, that is to say, ghosts are actually a kind of undead. But they have official positions, and they're just working in the underworld."

Great, very good explanation.Ding Xiaocao almost applauded the owner of the baritone.It's just that when she raised her head, she saw a paralyzed face that could scare ghosts to death, with a single horn, a middle part, pointed ears, and slender eyes—well, I really wanted to be in some Ukiyo-e paintings before I died. It looks like the neon "ghost" seen in the book.

It's just that compared to the "oni" in Ukiyo-e, if the horns and pointed ears are removed... it should be more human, right?

Ding Xiaocao's eyes fell on the sign he was carrying, which said "China|China, Ding Xiaocao."—Ah!Is this the person that Judgment Lu said came back to pick up the plane? "May I ask who you are?"

"The first assistant officer of King Yan Mo, Hoozuki. By the way, I will also be your mentor for the next four years." The expressionless ghost looked down on Ding Xiaocao, which made her inexplicably feel Oddly Alexandrian feel.

"You... hello, Mr. Houseki..." I was so nervous that I tied my tongue!Although his face is paralyzed, he always feels that there is darkness behind him, as if something bad can crawl out at any time!It's like guessing that no one will come back, ready to laugh at someone, and then discovering that someone dared to come, which makes the feeling extremely low. Hey!Even the mace is ready!

As soon as she spoke, the originally noisy airport fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at her.But it was only for a moment. When they saw the ghost lamp in front of her, everyone automatically and consciously turned their faces to the other side - sister, take care of yourself.

As for Ding Xiaocao, she is reflecting on the mistakes she made because of a momentary nervousness—eh?Did she just call the wrong name of her mentor for the next four years with her tongue tied? !

The future is gloomy...

"It's hoo-zu-ki, not hou-se-ki, is your ear bad? Or your tongue?"

My face is black!

"Yes, I'm sorry QAQ!" So scary!

"Anyway, come with me first." Ghost Lantern turned around, turned his head over his shoulders and looked at the two fighting Ding Xiaocao with those slender and domineering eyes, "Don't make a mistake next time."

"Yes!!!!" Subconsciously standing upright, Ding Xiaocao felt as if he was walking around in front of the gate of hell—no, he was already dead and now he was in hell.

My mentor seems to be... a very scary person, ah no, ghosts and gods?

In short, there is nothing wrong with studying hard, right?She patted her chest with lingering fear, thinking that the white puppy followed the ghost lamp's feet with a very cheerful look, and seemed to be completely unaffected by the ghost lamp's aura.

"Is this... Teacher Ghost Lamp's dog?" Ding Xiaocao asked behind Ghost Lamp, dragging her trolley case.

"Eh? Is he a dog raised by Master Ghost Lantern?" The white puppy said in surprise (joy?), "But he used to be with Momotaro..." He lowered his head and seemed very distressed.

"A jailer who doesn't like it." Ghost Lantern's answer was much more straightforward.

"Where you don't like?"

"I'll explain it to you later, and take you to the place to stay first."

...It seems...a very cold person?Ding Xiaocao silently marked her mentor for the next four years as "cold" and "scary".

But—this is the reason why she just came here, and she has a strict tutor who can urge her to study hard and not be lazy.

After thinking about it, it seems pretty good too?
