You are not human

Zhang Xiaobao felt that he had uttered big words in front of the Ten Lords of the Underworld, probably because he was very courageous, so he quickly slipped out of the room and hurried towards the next mansion.

According to the order, the next one will be either Lord Cage Ye or Lord Thousand Puppets.One thing these two have in common is that no one knows their true colors.

Zhang Xiaobao stood cautiously outside the door of the mansion, knocked on the door lightly, and a "come in" came from inside.

Zhang Xiaobao pushed open the door and introduced himself nervously: "Hi, I'm Zhang Xiaobao! I'm here to collect information about the Ten Lords of the Underworld..."

"You, you, hello..."

The person opposite seemed to be more nervous than him.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and felt a little weird for a moment. After meeting so many Ten Lords of the Underworld, this one is really... very restrained.

The other party was wearing a white dress, covering his body tightly, not to mention, he also wore a white gauze hat with a martial arts style on his head, and there was a second layer of protective veil underneath, which did not reveal a single bit.

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any inconvenience for you?"

He scratched the back of his head, and the young man in white who was still in front of his eyes just now disappeared in the same place, Zhang Xiaobao subconsciously turned around, and the other party spoke before him: "Don't turn around!"

Zhang Xiaobao's head was stuck in the middle of the road, and he slowly turned back as if afraid of disturbing the young people behind him.

He had an illusion that the "Ten Kings of Hades" behind him seemed more like some kind of easily frightened animal than a famous and dangerous person.

Zhang Xiaobao said cautiously: "If I don't come back, then I'll just ask?"

"Okay." The young man in white breathed a sigh of relief, "I am Lord Cage Ye of the Ten Lords of the Underworld. I am directly under the command of Lord Pluto, and I usually help with paperwork such as sorting out the roster of errands."

"Ah, races are ghosts."

The other party seemed to have fully understood what Zhang Xiaobao was going to ask, so he answered first in a very cooperative manner.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a while, and quickly answered: "Oh, and..."

"Why am I in the Underworld?" The other party seemed to have made up his mind to finish the sentence in one breath, without giving Zhang Xiaobao a chance to speak, "This should start when I was alive."

"Oh, oh!" Zhang Xiaobao didn't dare to look back, so he quickly took out a pen and paper to record, and listened to him honestly.

"I'm a little different from ordinary people." Long Yejun's tone has always been soft, "Although the ten kings of the underworld are somewhat different from ordinary people, the difference is my appearance."

"I……"

Before he finished speaking, a voice came urgently: "Thousand Puppet Lord!"

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to turn back again, when two identical voices sounded one after the other: "Don't turn back!"

Zhang Xiaobao: "..."

He stood there blankly, not knowing what happened behind him, but just now someone called "Thousand Puppet Lord", could it be that...

Zhang Xiaobao spoke hesitantly: "Could it be that Lord Thousand Puppets is here too?"

Someone let out a muffled laugh, the voice was still the same as Long Yejun's, but the tone was completely different: "I was here from the beginning."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaobao was a little confused.

The voice of the other Lord Long Ye is rarely so anxious: "It was not me from the beginning here! Lord Qiangui lied to you by turning into me!"

"This is not my mansion, this is the mansion of Lord Qiangui!"

Zhang Xiaobao's eyes widened in astonishment: "Ah? Well, that's really like what I learned..."

Qian Puppet Lord smiled, walked out from behind him, and stood in front of Zhang Xiaobao with the appearance of Lord Cage Ye: "I'm just worried, Lord Cage Ye has always been difficult to speak in front of people, and I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything for a while, so Borrowing your appearance, first help you to speak clearly."

"Look, isn't this almost over?"

He showed his body to Zhang Xiaobao with a smiling face that Long Yejun couldn't usually show, "I think this little brother hasn't seen your appearance properly yet?"

Lord Long Ye hid behind the pillar at some point, and muttered in a low voice: "Even if I didn't do it myself, seeing my body in such a state always makes people feel a little embarrassed."

But even if he said that, he didn't stop it. It seemed that he still wanted to cooperate with Zhang Xiaobao to complete the investigation.

For a moment, Zhang Xiaobao didn't know whether he should continue, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "Then shall I continue to ask?"

"No need to ask." Qian Puppet Lord smiled and said, "As long as Long Ye Lord is willing, I can show it to you directly."

Cage Yejun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "... yes."

Lord Qianguo laughed, took off his hat and veil, and revealed a rare face.

His skin was quite pale, as if covered with a layer of snow, not only that, but even his hair and eyelashes seemed to be covered with frost.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, recalling the pictures he had seen in the biology book, he quickly realized: "Ah! It's albinism!"

Qian Puppet Lord nodded slightly: "Exactly."

He looked at Long Yejun who was hiding behind the pillar, and laughed, "The next thing, do you want to say it yourself, or let me help?"

"...I will do it myself." Cage Yejun replied in a low voice, "As you can see, I am a monster..."

"You can't be called a monster in Hades." Zhang Xiaobao corrected in a low voice, "And you should be more like a patient than a monster."

Cage Yejun was silent for a moment: "You are really like what they said, a good old man who likes to meddle in other people's business, no wonder the adults will choose you."

"Most people know it's a disease these days, but back then, kids like me were born monsters."

"My parents raised me up with rumors and gossips. They never let me show my face and helped with the housework. The adults said that it was a mistake that saved my life."

"I can't see the light of my illness. Covering my skin with a cloth can make me feel better."

"But because my family told me that no one should see me, so I never dared to take off my face mask, and I never spoke in front of outsiders, so..."

Zhang Xiaobao suddenly realized: "No wonder Lord Long Ye is so afraid of life!"

Lord Long Ye smiled wryly: "I also thought about changing it, but after a while, I still can't change it."

"It's much better." Qian Puppet Lord laughed, "As long as someone was near you back then, you wanted to run away from you."

Lord Cage Ye smiled helplessly: "When I was seven or eight years old, the village encountered a rare severe drought. The villagers tried various methods, including offering sacrifices, digging wells, and borrowing water, but all failed."

"I don't know when, there have been rumors that a monster like me was raised in the village, which caused the severe drought."

Zhang Xiaobao frowned: "This, this is too..."

"They were going to set fire to me, but my mother couldn't bear it, so she let me go to the mountain." Long Yejun stood in the shadow behind the pillar, "I didn't know that I was sick Yes, I also doubted whether I might be a monster."

"Until I met the adults."

"When I met the lord, I was not dead. He told me that I was just sick, and I didn't have the blood of a monster."

"I was so happy because it was the first time I knew for sure that I was human."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't know whether he should be happy for him, and felt somewhat sad in his heart.

"I wanted to go with my lord at that time." Long Yejun said softly, "But the lord said that it is difficult for living people to survive in the place where he stays, and he told me to live well first. If I still think so after death, I will tell the errand. want to find him."

"It's strange to say that I am actually looking forward to the day after death, so I can live well."

"I remember what the adults said, keep your skin away from the sun, and try to move around at night as much as possible. It's considered good luck. I slowly found a way to survive in the mountains."

"At that time, I thought that I was sick and living alone in the mountains and forests. I'm afraid I won't live long. I didn't expect that I would live longer than the average person. I lived well until I was seventy or eighty..."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and praised: "In the past, living to seventy or eighty was a very long life!"

"Yeah." Long Yejun laughed, "Actually, when I get older, I can talk to ordinary people. After all, the gray hair will not be so conspicuous. It's just that I look paler than ordinary people."

"I tried to talk to ordinary people, just to be able to say that sentence to Yin Escort after death-'I made a promise with Lord Pluto to follow him around after death'."

Qian Puppet Lord smiled and rolled his eyes: "But in the end, you were still stuttering and unable to speak, and you were blocked on the Styx Bridge and refused to leave, so you almost summoned Lord Zhuyou."

"Fortunately, Mr. Du'e emerged from the river at that time, and he was quick-witted and said those words to him."

Cage Ye-kun laughed embarrassedly: "Maybe we can talk to the animals instead."

Zhang Xiaobao also laughed: "This is also a mistake!"

"Yes." Long Yejun agreed softly, "Although I have been unfortunate in this life, I am also lucky."

"I think it's good as it is now, and I don't want to leave yet."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, and looked at Qian Puppet Lord: "Then Qian Puppet Lord... can he change back to his original appearance?"

"This is not allowed." Qian Puppet Lord replied with a smile, "I am a mystic, and it is my creed not to reveal my true body..."

Lord Cage Ye said slowly, "He's a liar."

"He is a bone spirit who is good at changing shapes, but he has become too many people, but he has forgotten his appearance."

"Oh, Lord Cage Ye is really holding a grudge, why did you still expose my old background." Qian Puppet Lord laughed and nodded at him, "That's the way it is, but don't be afraid, apart from mysticism, I still don't kill It is different from the general bone spirit who has to peel off the human skin to become like a human."

"But having said that, if I'm just an ordinary bone spirit, my lord won't keep me."

Qian Puppet Lord smiled gently, "My duty is to become an adult to participate in boring activities that he doesn't want to participate in, but Pluto has to show up, and occasionally to be an undercover agent to scout for news."

"In exchange, all the mortal life and death scrolls that have survived in the underworld are allowed to be viewed by me until I remember who I am."

Lord Long Ye shook his head: "You haven't looked for it for many years."

"What's the matter?" Qian Puppet Lord smiled and rolled his eyes, "Look at the mortals who come and go in the underworld, how many of them can live a smooth life and live a safe and happy life?"

"I'm living a pretty good life as a monster now, why bother to think about the hard days before."

Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"As long as you don't care, it doesn't matter if you think about it or not."

"Now your investigation is complete." Qian Puppet Lord looked at him with a smile, "Is it time to go to Pluto to return?"

"You don't need to return, I'll just give the scroll to Mr. Lianchun." Zhang Xiaobao scratched his head embarrassedly, "Mr. Lianchun is responsible for communicating with the human world, and the things I have to do are similar to what I have to do. My lord said, wait After I officially established the work, I sent Mr. Lianchun to sit in charge of me, just like the Three Realms Mutual Aid Committee."

"That's it." Qian Puppet Lord smiled and looked behind him, "Since this is the case, Lord Lian Chun doesn't need him to make another trip, why don't you come out by yourself?"

"Hey." Lian Chunjun sighed softly, and appeared from behind them, "Other people didn't notice it when they saw it, why are you the most ignorant, you smelly skeleton."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaobao was a little surprised, "Mr. Lian Chun?"

"Stupid boy." Qian Puppet Lord laughed, "She was worried that you would be in trouble, so she quietly followed you all the way."

Zhang Xiaobao was touched: "Mr. Lianchun..."

"Don't cry." Lian Chunjun said with a smile, "If you really remember my sister's kindness, you can burn two beautiful clothes for me later."

"In the future, everyone will be colleagues, and you still have a long way to go."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded earnestly: "I will work hard, and I can help adults with my hard work!"

"Oh, by the way, when you go back later, remember to avoid the side of the Styx River." Mr. Lianchun covered his lips and smiled, "The little prince had a whim, and wanted to see if he could swim in the Styx River, and your lord is watching a show by the side. .”

"I don't know what kind of trouble this group of rambunctious people can make. Be careful not to be affected."
