Above the gray fog

"It's been a while since we've seen each other." Xu Shi said respectfully, "Senior Lin, please take a seat."

Lin Shan sat down and said, "Let me ask you a question."

"You asked."

"Do you think it is loneliness that is unbearable, or the various sufferings in reality that are unbearable?" Lin Shan asked, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

"The score depends on the environment." Xu Shi replied respectfully.

"No need to be restrained, sit down and talk." Lin Shan motioned Xu Shi to sit down.

Xu Shi bowed slightly and sat opposite Lin Shan. He thought for a moment and slowly said:

"As ordinary people living in the world, they will find all kinds of suffering unbearable, such as hunger, poverty, and illness. These real-life sufferings make people feel helpless. They will crave strength and immortality, hoping to escape suffering through these. Pursue eternal happiness.”

Xu Shi paused for a moment, his eyes became deep, and continued, "However, as a person like me who serves in the underworld, loneliness is truly unbearable. The endless darkness and emptiness, repeated day after day, make people feel The soul is gradually being eaten away, and we may even feel that all kinds of suffering in reality are a kind of enjoyment, because it represents the freshness and reality of life. "

He looked up at Lin Shan, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, "Suffering makes people painful, but it also makes people feel alive, and loneliness is like an invisible shackle, trapping us in this boundless nothingness. , making us gradually lose our passion for life and our understanding of ourselves.”

Lin Shan nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "I understand. It seems that the underworld now also needs a new system."

Xu Shiwang looked at Lin Shan and asked, "Add institutions to the underworld... What do you mean?"

Lin Shan looked at Xu Shi, "Do you think there is any way that the staff in the underworld can alleviate this loneliness?"

Xu Shi thought for a moment and replied, "The best way, and the most commonly used method in the underworld today, is to seal the previous memories at each stage and keep starting from the beginning."

"Well, is there a better way?" Lin Shan asked.

"A better way..." Xu Shi looked at Lin Shan, hesitating to speak, as if hesitating.

"Tell me, this should be the solution you have discussed before, right?" Lin Shan encouraged.

Xu Shi nodded and explained: "Yes, but this requires your permission."

"Sealing the memory will damage the consciousness. If the consciousness is too fragile, it will not be able to withstand the rules of the underworld and turn into evil spirits. We have considered that every once in a while, we would order the underworld staff to go to the human world for a period of time. This may relieve their The emptiness.”

Xu Shi continued, "Set a limit time based on their respective strengths. Every underworld creature that reaches the limit time can be reincarnated into the human world to live another life. After dying again, we can help them recover their memories and continue to serve. What do you think? ?”

Lin Shan nodded slightly, "Okay, I will draw up a new rule. All employees can create a split soul to enter the game of heaven. The main body will continue to work and take back the split soul at intervals. Although it is just a memory, it should be able to It has a very good relief effect.”

He continued to add, "The reincarnation you mentioned before should be treated as a long-term vacation. If you can't hold on anymore, you can apply for this kind of vacation, but it must be verified before it can be approved to prevent anyone from being lazy."

Xu Shixian stood up and said solemnly, "Mr. Lin understands the righteousness, and I would like to thank the nearly one million employees of the underworld." After that, he knelt down to salute.

Lin Shan gently held Xu Shi up and said, "I have known about the underworld for a long time, and I never thought about dealing with it before. It's a pain for you."

"This is nothing. The Kingdom of Heaven you just mentioned, can you give me a detailed information? If it involves major changes, I would like to issue a notice in advance to avoid some oolong incidents." Xu Shi said.

Lin Shanqu flicked his fingers and flicked a ball of thought power containing heavenly information into Xu Shi's mind.

After several seconds, Xu Shicai finished digesting the information.

"Has the human race finally risen? No wonder the number of souls reincarnated some time ago suddenly dropped sharply..." Xu Shi murmured to himself, then seemed to remember something, and immediately bowed to Lin Shan, "Pioneer Lin, I Lost my temper."

"Why do you become more reserved as you live more? Just be casual." Lin Shan waved to him to sit down quickly.

"I have one more important thing to do this time."

"You said."

Lin Shan spoke slowly and said, "You have also read the information about the Kingdom of Heaven. It has been a bit confusing recently. I plan to make some changes and add an official one to the many gangs."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is still somewhat important to me, so I want to find some acquaintances or relatively capable people to fill this position. Do you have anyone to recommend?" Lin Shan asked.

Xu Shi replied with a slight embarrassment, "Well... how about this? I will make a list and you will choose it yourself."

Lin Shan nodded in agreement, "Well, I only have one condition, it must be someone I know. If you are someone with particularly outstanding abilities, you can make an exception."

The reason why he chose people he knew was because he wanted to give them some support and lead them out of this empty underworld.

The gray mist universe is going to disappear, and all the underworld and heaven will disappear with it. Just think of it as his little willfulness.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Xu Shi took out a brand new piece of white paper, put his pen on the paper, and did not write for a long time.

Lin Shan did not rush and waited quietly.

After a minute, Xu Shicai began to write rapidly, writing down names one by one.

He was also chanting in his mouth.

"He Awei, Li Shiyao, Sun Ze, Nangong Xin, Qian Nianyun."

"You should all know these five people. Most of them died in the war. Now they are serving in the underworld. Most of them are judges."

"Chen Wuwei, Li Yue, Sun Xian, and He Xingren."

"Chen Wuwei is the descendant of Chen Er, Sun Xian is the descendant of Sun Ze, and He Xingren is the descendant of He Awei. Although they all inherited the achievements of their ancestors, these three are also very capable."

"Diao Yin, Gu Ru, Fu Yiyi."

"Diao Yin became a human god because of your appointment. He also entered the human underworld after the battle. Now the ferocious beast guarding the underworld, Gu Ru laid the foundation of your faith. He is the one who opened the door. Maybe I said the name Xiaoru You know better that as the fourth generation descendant of Fan Ru, Fu Yiyi’s contribution is to make your faith deeply rooted in the hearts of every human being, and she later died for the human race. You should all know these three people."

"Lu Qingqing."

"Lu Qingqing was inexplicably canonized by the underworld. She didn't know the reason, and she made no contribution to the human race. We suspected that it was a legacy of blessings from her ancestors. After tracing her surname, we found that she was a blood descendant of Lu Ruan, the first human emperor of the human race. "

"As for how the human emperor left an heir, and he was an ordinary person, there is no record."

"Lu Ruan..." Lin Shan nodded slightly. He still had an impression of the empress.

Lin Shan knocked on the table, "No need to choose, let these people, plus you, pack up and go to heaven with me."

Xu Shi looked at Lin Shan in surprise and hesitated, "Is... is this really okay?"

Lin Shan waved his hand, "The world is going to end. There's nothing that can't be done. The underworld can still function even after you leave."

He signaled Xu Shi not to say anything more, "You go ahead and inform, and implement the new system by the way. I will wait here for three days, and come back to see me after finishing the matter. Don't come one by one."

Xu Shi bowed deeply and immediately started to move.

Lin Shan looked at the pen and paper on the table, holding the pen in the air.

In the end, only a circle was drawn.
