The whole world knows that I crossed

After the new year, it was time for Qiao Wen to give his answer to the "commission" from the goddess Izanami that Qiao Wen promised.

Although neither the Goddess nor the Ghost Lantern urged him to make a decision as soon as possible, even since he came to Hell, Ba Wei was not dragged into the Yan Mo Hall to do "coolies", it seems that both the Goddess and the Ghost Lantern Give Qiao Wen and Ba Wei enough time to discuss, but both Qiao Wen and Ba Wei are very clear about Qiao Wen's answer, Izanami and Ghost Lantern must have already expected it——

"Are there no options other than 'OK'?"

Although he said lines that seemed helpless, the expression on Qiao Wen's face was clearly eager to try.

Bawei looked at his eyes that became bright after he browsed the information from the ghost lamp describing the world on the other side led by the unknown space rift, and raised his hand to cover his throbbing forehead:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Qiao Wen calmed down a little from the excited state.

He looked back at Ba Wei with a serious face: "Of course I know."

Without waiting for Yaohu to refute, Qiao Wen said sternly again: "Although it is a savior script that was forced into my hands, although I myself know that the words 'save the world' are easy to say, but it must be far more difficult to do than mine. But Bawei," Qiao Wen looked into Bawei's eyes seriously, with a rare solemn and resolute expression: "This is the world where you exist, and it is also the world in which I want to live and spend the rest of my life."

As Qiao Wen spoke, his tone gradually became firm: "If I am the only one who can save it, then even though I am full of uncertainty and fear of the unknown world, at this moment, even if I am afraid, even if I want to shrink back, I am at the end , will you still choose to stand up and accept this 'salvation entrustment' like a hot potato?"

because……

"Yeah..." The demon fox stared at the human youth in front of him for a long while, and finally laughed helplessly and somewhat incomprehensibly.

He said, "Because that's who you are."

He says that he is a surreal modern young man who is selfish, cowardly, life-saving, able to run and never face it head-on, but when he really does things, his behavior is full of some kind of wonderful sense of justice , compassion and unnecessary tenderness and kindness.

This is Qiao Wen.

The Jowin that Bawei knew.

"I just made a choice that most people would make."

I don't know what kind of person Bawei refers to by "such a person". Qiao Wen only thought that he was talking about his stubbornness, bad intentions, or something else, so he simply ignored Yaohu's deep gaze and said to himself .

"In my hometown, there are many people like me - didn't you hear me read those bullet screens..."

Those who can say the words of tigers and wolves, can make cute and coquettish jokes, can spit out their brains, and can spit out fragrance. They are called "sand sculpture netizens", but at critical moments, most of them They will all show some characteristics similar to Qiao Wen, people who live in a land that is full of disasters but also rich in resources, beautiful in mountains and rivers, rich in humanities, and deeply loved.

They may have various shortcomings and may not be perfect, but like Qiao Wen, most of them are kind and warm "good people".

This characteristic of Qiao Wen not only comes from himself, but also from his growth environment, his parents, his teachers, and his hometown.

It is everything in the past that made Qiao Wen what he is today.

Ba Wei understood the meaning of Qiao Wen's words.

"I still don't understand the national pride of you humans..."

The demon fox muttered.

But he has already received what Qiao Wen wanted to convey.

He wanted to say that he was not an exception, and he was not as bad-hearted as Bawei thought. He just made the choice that, in his opinion, most people would make when faced with the same situation as him.

"What a headache..."

Bawei said, but this time, there was an obvious smile in his eyes.

Although still very helpless.

Although Qiao Wen is still very reluctant to be an inexplicable "savior".

But if this is Qiao Wen's choice, if he has made up his mind to do something for this world...

"You have spoken to this extent, how can I object!"

The demon fox complained, walked to the door, and opened the door——

"Let's go."

He said.

"Where to go?"

Qiao Wen asked.

Bawei rolled his eyes in an inelegant way:

"Where else can I go? Go find the ghost lamp—it's time for him to exchange his promise with Izanami!"

——Didn't it mean that they prepared a lot of talismans and other things that might come in handy for Qiao Wen's trip?

You're welcome, bring it!

……

……

Ghost Lantern is sitting behind Yan Mo Hall's desk to handle the last bit of work.

The busiest period of overtime around the new year is over, and starting tomorrow, it will be the day when the Ten Temples of Hell will give all jailers a New Year holiday.

On the last working day before the holiday, the guards inevitably got a little too excited.

Although the ghost lamp was strict, it did not stop the jailers from letting go of themselves but did not delay their work. On the contrary, when Qiaowen and Bawei walked into Yan Mo Hall, he was processing documents and discussing with the three animals next to him. With holiday arrangements...

"In my case, I will probably travel to the present world, right?" The black-haired assistant officer kept walking on the document with a pen decorated with snapdragon grass in his hand, distractedly answering the animals' questions.

"Eh? Is Lord Ghost Lantern so interested in the present world?" Xiao Bai flicked his tail with surprise on his face.

Ghost Lamp nodded expressionlessly: "Well. The development of this world is changing with each passing day. It is also very meaningful to understand the formulation and modification of the rules of hell in this world, so it is necessary to increase understanding of this world."

"Then besides traveling to this world?" Pheasant Liu Linan asked, "Master Ghost Lantern doesn't seem to be a ghost born in the other world? So you don't need to go back to your hometown to visit?"

"Well, I have no relatives here." Ghost Lantern talked about his life experience, but he was very calm, "So if you are in hell, you should probably water the snapdragon grass, watch the New Year's limited funny shows, and catch up on the comics that have been left behind by the way. Let's play games..."

"Wow... a standard otaku speech." Monkey Kakisuke couldn't help complaining, "Master Ghost Lantern really has a wide range of hobbies."

"Really." The person who was complained about had no such self-consciousness at all.

Sensing the arrival of Qiaowen and Bawei, the ghost lamp finished talking with the animals and looked up at the two:

"Oh, it's Mr. Qiao Wen and Mr. Bawei. I haven't seen you for a few days. Happy New Year both of you."

"...Happy New Year." Qiao Zhen A Zhai heard Ghost Lantern's speech and felt that he was somewhat similar to himself but not exactly the same. Wen had a delicate expression on his face.

Ghost Lantern didn't seem to notice his complicated mood, and asked calmly:

"Did you two come to Yan Mo Hall for business?"

"Yes." Qiao Wen replied after greeting the three little animals, "I have already made a decision about the previous matter."

"...I see." Ghost Lantern was surprised for a moment—as if he didn't expect Qiao Wen to make a decision so quickly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded to Qiao Wen: "I see, please wait a moment, I will take the two of you to visit that one after I finish the work at hand..."

"No need." Ba Wei forcefully intervened in the conversation, "You can go to discuss with that person tonight about the 'things' that you have prepared for Qiao Wen - it's best to let us see when we meet next time Real things. When everything is ready, let’s agree on a time and place to meet.”

After all, what's the point of meeting Izanami today?It was nothing more than a negotiation between the two parties on entrusted remuneration after Qiao Wen gave an affirmative answer.

Ba Wei hasn't made any plans yet, and wants to see the price offered by Izanami and Ghost Lamp before making any plans, but he is more concerned about the accompanying items they promised to provide for Qiao Wen—it's about Qiao Wen. Wen's safety cannot be overestimated.

Ghost Lamp paused, took a deep look at Bawei, and nodded slowly:

"Yes. Those two please stay in the room as much as possible in the past few days. I will be responsible for notifying when and where we will meet."

The three little animals next to them don't know what charades they are playing, and who is the mysterious "that" in their mouths, but if it is something that can let them know, I believe that the ghost lamp will not deliberately hide it. If you know, you can ask the ghost lamp later.

Thinking of this, the little animal obediently kept quiet until Qiao Wen and Bawei left, and did not interject to ask a question out of proportion.

……

……

The efficiency of the ghost lamp is amazing.

Early the next morning, Qiaowen and Ba Wei, who met each other in the cafeteria of Yan Mo Hall, were told that Izanami was ready to meet them, and that all the things that Ba Wei had requested before were also prepared. The meeting time It's set for this morning.

That is to say, after breakfast together, Qiaowen and Bawei can go to meet the beauty goddess Izan with the ghost lamp.

The location is still in the reception room of Yan Mo Hall.

The beauty goddess Izanami was still the same as she had seen that day.

Only this time, the low table in the reception room was filled with all kinds of items—everything from talismans to various props, which made people dazzled for a while.

"Welcome." The orange-haired goddess nodded slightly to Qiaowen and Bawei who walked into the room behind the ghost lamp.

"I heard from the ghost lamp that you have already made a decision?"

"Yes." Qiao Wen still sat down in the same position that day, with a neither humble nor overbearing tone. "I am willing to accept your entrustment to go to another world to investigate the reason for the appearance of space cracks, and do my best to find a way to prevent the scene in the prophecy from coming true."

"Yes, you accepted it..." There was not much surprise in the goddess' tone, and it seemed to be more of an incomprehensible sigh.

But before Qiao Wenwen and Ba Wei studied it carefully, she had already changed back to her normal appearance with a slight smile:

"As the Lord of Underworld, I am grateful for your decision."

"In return, you will receive a special permission from me—to avoid punishment after death."

Seeing that Qiao Wen's eyes widened slightly when she heard the words, the goddess covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Although people like you probably won't go to hell after death, but have a great possibility to go directly to Gaotianyuan, but if it happens, After you die, you will enter hell, and then I can decide to allow you to avoid judgment and punishment."

"This..." Qiao Wen looked at the ghost lamp hesitantly—although the beauty goddess Izanah is indeed the lord of the underworld in name, the ghost lamp is the number one boss in hell!For this spirit with strong principles, such a promise to break the principle of hell...

Gui Deng saw him looking at him, and nodded slightly to him: "This is agreed with King Yan Mo and I. We are also responsible for communicating with King Yama of the Ten Temples, so don't worry."

Qiao Wen: ...

No, I'm even more panicked when you say that!

I always feel like I've made a terrible decision.

But until now, he couldn't help but regret it.

However, Qiao Wen still has a little curiosity to be satisfied: "I am a Chinese, but because I live in Japan, my soul will go to the Japanese hell to take over after death, right?"

In fact, what he wants to ask more is that he is a visitor from another world, will he follow the law of life and death in this world after death?

However, he always felt that with the mysteriousness shown by the beautiful goddess Izanah on the first day of meeting, his identity should have been almost touched by her. Since she proposed this plan, it means that Qiao Wen has almost owned it now. Has the recognition of the existence of the creation god level in this world?So don't worry that you will not be able to become a dead person after death because of your status as a visitor from another world?

The ghost lamp replied: "According to the usual practice, after the welcome class welcomes back the souls belonging to the foreign dead, foreigners who died in Japan will choose according to their own wishes whether to accept the trial and punishment in the hell of Japan, or hand over to the hell of their own country-so in the end It still depends on the wishes of the deceased."

"Oh..." Qiao Wen understood.

So as long as he says that he wants to stay in hell in Japan, it will be very convenient to operate after that?

To be honest, Qiao Wen thinks that this reward is quite generous-not to mention that there is no need to accept trial and punishment after death, and seeing the meaning of the ghost lamp and the beauty goddess Izanah, it seems that Qiao Wen is planning to get the status of a legal hell resident for Qiao Wen ?In this way, Qiao Wen would be regarded as a resident of hell after his death. If he didn't apply for reincarnation, he could actually "live forever" in an alternative way?

Uh……

Even though Qiao Wen had power, he never thought of pursuing eternal life. He always regarded himself as an ordinary person.

At this moment, I was suddenly promised eternal life in a disguised sense...

how to say.

Just, it feels so unreal!

Ba Wei obviously also realized this.

At first, I thought it was just exempt from trial and punishment. Compared with Qiao Wen's next thing that might cost his life, this little reward is nothing to mention!

But now...

Yaohu sat up straight, as if the person who just wanted to lean forward to protest was not him.

It's just that Ba Wei always feels that something is wrong - because both Izanami and Ghost Lantern are actually very attached to the "rules" of hell.

At least in Ba Wei's cognition, this is the case.

Even if Qiao Wen came back victorious from this trip, and really carried the great merit of saving the world, Ba Wei didn't think these two people would open such a big "back door" for Qiao Wen...

So what's the deal?This goddess of creation who seems to have many differences from the rumors?

The demon fox was a little suspicious.

It's just that, facing a paper contract handed to him by the gods - which clearly stipulates the rights and obligations of both parties, including the remuneration just promised by the goddess is clearly written in black and white - Ba Wei's heart Most of that doubt was also erased.

However, before officially signing the contract, it is still necessary to look at the "equipment" prepared by Hell for Qiao Wen.

The fox's eyes shifted to the various objects on the table.

Seeing that he was attracted by these things, Ghost Lantern took the initiative to introduce:

"This time, the auxiliary equipment we prepared for Mr. Qiao Wen included five hundred talismans with different functions, and various equipment for the soul body developed by hell. The other end of the space crack leads to a place similar to hell, where countless 'souls' live."

"In such an environment, the instruments for the soul will obviously play a very important role."

As Ghost Lamp said, he picked up a black chain on the table:

"For example, this chain, through the secret system of hell, can bind and bind the soul. As long as the strength of the soul does not exceed a certain upper limit, it cannot break free from its shackles..."

Then the ghost lamp also introduced to the two of them, such as soul piercing nails, soul locking lamps, soul umbrellas...etc, all kinds of hell-made utensils that are biased towards attack or protection, and have various auxiliary functions .

It was also at this time that Qiao Wen realized for the first time that when the prison guards in hell faced the dead, they only used the prescribed instruments of torture and their own physical strength to punish them. The effect of these things on the dead...

……Alas!

"Finally—" Ghost Lamp's tone became solemn, "It was provided by Izanami, the 'Words of the Underworld'."

He picked up a brocade box and lifted the lid towards Qiao Wenbawei.

I saw a writing brush with a strange shape lying in the box, and from this writing brush, there was a kind of depressing and strange evil faintly exuding.

"This pen is the 'Word of the Underworld' made by the beauty goddess Izanah in her early years. Using it, you can summon the face monster for people to drive without taking the risk of giving the face monster a name."

The ghost lamp said seriously.

"But please let me remind you that the face monster is a very dangerous thing. Although bound by the words of the underworld, the summoned face monster will absolutely obey the 'master' who holds the words of the underworld, that is, you, Mr. Qiao Wen, but I still It is recommended not to use this pen lightly unless it is absolutely necessary..."

Qiao Wen also didn't expect that Izanami would provide him with such a big killer at the end - you must know that this is something that scumbag father Yato dreamed of, tried every means, and wanted to get it by all means!

So Dang even nodded to Ghost Lamp with a solemn face, promising that he would not use this dangerous writing brush unless necessary.

Ghost Lamp and Izanah have already shown the sincerity of hell, so next, it's Qiao Wen's turn.

He and Bawei looked at each other, picked up the pen on the table, and solemnly signed his name on the contract——

The contract is established!

After the contract was signed, both parties obviously relaxed a lot. Although the ghost lamp and the beautiful goddess Izanah let Qiao Wen not worry, he could prepare for a period of time before heading to the world on the other side of the vortex, but Qiao Wen felt that this kind of thing would be delayed. After a long time, there is no benefit, so after visiting several famous scenic spots in Hell with Bawei, and trying to soak in the famous hot springs in Hell, after a few days of complete relaxation, Qiao Wen went to Bawei, Ghost Lamp and Yixie. The beautiful goddess saw her off in person, and was about to travel through the rift in time and space to the other side of the world.

"Everything is careful."

Looking at Qiao Wen who had stored everything in the "Ye Li" space, who was empty and lightly dressed, Yaohu sighed, and finally just explained so simply.

"So does Bavey."

Facing the demon fox's exhortation, Qiao Wen replied with a smile.

"During the time I'm away, you have to stay in the other world honestly, don't worry me!"

"... Long-winded." Being entrusted by Qiao Wen in front of Ghost Lantern and Izanami, Yaohu felt a certain kind of subtle discomfort, but seeing the look of expectation in Qiao Wen's eyes, he finally agreed awkwardly: "Okay." Yes, I understand, I will wait here for your return...... Is this the head office okay?"

"Yeah." Qiao Wen laughed.

"Then... wait for me to come back."

He gave Ba Wei a final hug. Under the latter's incomprehensible gaze, the protective power of the "Night Hat" and the shield was fully activated. After the small card shrunk his figure, the Xiang card was activated, and the white While waving its wings, it took Qiao Wen into the air, and jumped into the tiny space crack——
