The metaverse, starting with a deadlock

August 1999, Tin Hee Sau Garden, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong.

It was already the dead of night at this time, and the surroundings were dark, except for the bright lights in a certain unit, and there was a faint noise.

The house was full of smog, and under the incandescent lights, several men were playing mahjong with smoke in their mouths.

"Red!" A Mediterranean man held a cigarette sideways, picked up a card, and slapped it out.

"Touch! Chicken!" The plaid shirt man opposite the Mediterranean man smiled happily and took the red card and put it in front of him, and then punched out the chicken he didn't want.

"Yaoji? My favorite, it's awesome!" The man in glasses under the plaid shirt didn't wait for the chicken to land on the table, and took it in mid-air, and then quickly took out three pieces of chicken from his deck and put them together , got up and picked up a card from the last card, rubbed it vigorously, and played out the card he had just drawn with a displeased face.

"I'm so unlucky, I didn't touch it like this, Qitiao!"

As soon as the words fell, the last player immediately grabbed seven of a kind, pushed out his own card, and said with a big smile, "Hahaha, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you're stupid!"

"What the hell, can you play cards? I wonder if someone is obviously soloing seven of a kind?" A young man with yellow hair was standing behind watching the show, and couldn't help complaining.

The man in the Mediterranean Sea, the plaid shirt and the glasses couldn't help but glared at Huang Mao in anger, Huang Mao couldn't help shrinking his neck in fright.

"Give money, give money!" Finally, the players shouted loudly to collect debts.

The three Mediterranean people reluctantly took out their "gambling funds" to pay the bill.

Under the lights, the 'gambling funds' placed on the mahjong table are not currency in circulation in the world at all, but ghost coins with gold letters on a white background that are only used for memorial service!
In the end, the player didn't seem to notice the abnormality, and happily accepted the ghost coin.

At this moment, Hai Hai got up with a look of hesitation, stretched his body and complained, "No more beatings, no more beatings, one night of beatings and one night of beating, and a beating!"

The man in the plaid shirt also got up, and said cursingly, "That's right! This kid is too evil, I won't play anymore!"

"Hehe, don't be like this~ I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, and there is no rule that you will win when you play mahjong, calm down~" The man with glasses tried to smooth things over, then turned his head and shouted at Huang Mao, "I haven't eaten all night, let's go order takeaway, Make plans when you’re full.”

Huang Mao heard the words and muttered a few words in a low voice, then walked aside and was about to pick up the landline and order food.

In the end, the player got up and choked out the landline.

Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Finally the player chuckled, "It's nothing, I played with you all night, it's time to end, there's no need to scare ordinary people."

The expressions of the other four people in the room changed immediately after hearing this.

"What do you mean?" Mediterranean shouted with a ferocious face, and the other three also had bad eyes.

At this time, the faces of the four were ashen, without a trace of vitality, like ghosts.

In the end, the player didn't answer, but just took out a plastic hard-backed ID photo from his pocket and threw it on the mahjong table.

The man with glasses curiously took a photo of his ID card, and couldn't help shouting in shock, "Yuan Chao, the seductress of the yang world in the fifth palace of the underworld? Are you a land judge?"

When the companions heard the words of the man with glasses, they were startled.

The last player, that is, Yuan Chao, winked at the four 'persons' playfully, and said with a light smile, "It's good to know that I am a land judge in the world. What’s the matter, and I often use Mingbi to order food to scare mortals, buddy, I just took office not long ago, I don’t want to get rough with you, how about saving face?”

Suddenly, the lights in the house went out, and a strong wind raged wildly.

The four 'persons' transformed into horrible deities with rotting bodies and watery corpses, and flew towards Yuan Chao with teeth and claws.

Yuan Chao calmed down, sighed faintly, and said to himself helplessly, "I really don't see Huang He's heart is not dead, and I can't be lazy if I want to. It seems that this part-time job is really not easy~"

"Forget it, since if you don't eat the toast, you have to drink as a fine, then it's not my fault for being cruel!"

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Hong, come out to meet the guests!"

Suddenly, before the four ghosts approached, two more terrifying and ferocious ghosts appeared out of thin air behind Yuan Chao.

One was wearing a bright red shirt, with disheveled hair covering his face.

One has a big head and a small body, resembling a baby.

They are the two ghosts controlled by Yuan Chao-the female ghost in red and the baby ghost!

As soon as the two big ghosts appeared, the four ghosts, like mice seeing a cat, screamed strangely, turned around and fled in all directions.

Is it just possible to escape?

I saw Guiying and the female ghost in red acting separately, each responsible for hunting down the two ghosts.

In less than a second, the four ghosts were detained and returned.

"Forgive me, my lord, my wish has not been fulfilled, I really don't want to be reincarnated, please be merciful, my lord, let me go~"

The four-headed ghosts knew that there was no reason, so they cried and begged for mercy.

But Yuan Chao sneered at this, and said indifferently, "Life and death have their own destiny. If every ghost is greedy for the human world like you, wouldn't the yin and yang worlds be messed up? It's also because you have never killed anyone. Only labor and management can be so tolerant, otherwise you will be blown away in a face-to-face meeting!"

"My lord~"

"Noisy!"

Yuan Chao gave a cold shout, and immediately took out a strange bell from his arms, and shook it lightly, the melodious and ethereal ringtone seemed to pass through the boundaries of time and space, and the heart was calmed upon hearing it.

The four-headed ghosts who were still crying just now were dumbfounded when they heard the bell.

This is one of the standard instruments of the Yin Division ghosts. It is called the soul-suppressing bell, and it has the magical effect of suppressing ghosts.

After subduing the four ghosts, Yuan Chao took out another flashlight and turned it on to shine on the wall.

The area within the circle of light on the wall was gradually distorted, exuding a strange attraction, attracting the four stiff and motionless ghosts inside.

That magical flashlight is also one of the standard magic weapons of the ghost messenger. It is called the delivery flashlight. Its only function is to open the gate of the underworld and send the detained ghosts back to the underworld.

Legend has it that due to the power of the Jedi and the gap between the Yin and Yang realms, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Yin Division and Ghosts to catch wandering ghosts from the upper realm.

Therefore, since ancient times, the underworld has developed a group of special non-staff personnel in the human world to replace the understaffed ghost messengers to perform the duties of the underworld in the human world and maintain the stability of the two worlds.

These people are officially called the Yin Division Hades and the Yang World Seducer, and they are commonly known as the Land Judgment of the World.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chao, who was unknown in the real world, became a civil servant in the underworld in the Jiangyue world. Although it was temporary, it was considered a different kind of glory.

After sending off the four fierce ghosts, Yuan Chao lit a cigarette, brought the female ghost in red and the baby ghost back to another dimension, and said with a light smile, "Hehe, I didn't expect the well-known urban legend in Xiangjiang - the ghost barking meal incident It was actually solved by me, the world is full of wonders."

"Fix it and call it a day, go home and sleep~"
