The underworld, the gate of the soul, the starting point of the River Styx.

Karen looked up at the reopened door, and could vaguely see souls entering the underworld one by one quietly from outside the door.

Standing by the gate was a familiar figure, it was Tanavis!

Karen lowered her head, looked at the black ring in her hand, hesitated for a while, and shouted in the direction of the door: "Tanavis!"

The figure inside the door moved.

"Tanavis! I'm Karen, can I come up?" Karen asked.

Tanavis looked at Karen standing by the River Styx, nodded slightly, and snapped his fingers in her direction.

A slope made of Styx water meanders straight to Karen's feet. Karen stepped on the still flowing water slope without hesitation and walked towards Tanavis who was leading the soul into the underworld.

Tanavis stretched out his hand to slightly touch the forehead of the soul waiting to enter, and after allowing it to enter, he turned his head to look at Karen who was walking in front of him, and said, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Karen was taken aback, looked at the haggard Tanavis, and said, "You also know... that I was fired?"

Tanavis was silent for a while, and said: "Karen, this should be a good thing for you, right? Don't you keep saying that 100 years is too long?"

"It's been a long time, even though it's been ten years," Karen replied, holding up the ring in her hand and saying, "Well, I'm here to give you this back!"

Tanavis glanced at her hand, his eyes flickered, he stopped what he was doing, stared at Karen, and said, "That bastard Loki gave it to you?"

"Loki? No, no, a girl gave it to me." Karen sighed and said, "Loki did it, right? He kidnapped you!"

Tanavis took the ring with a dark face, wiped the surface of the ring with his thumb, put it back on his hand silently, turned his head, and motioned for the next soul to enter the underworld.

"Where did he lock you up? Neither Lord Pluto nor Minos can find your location!" Karen asked.

Tanavis didn't answer.

"Well, anyway, you managed to escape," Karen said softly. "It's a blessing! It's great to have you back!"

Tanavis glanced at Karen and said, "Aren't you going back?"

"Of course I want to go back!" Karen said with a complicated face, "I didn't expect that I would be fired. I don’t need to do this job...or to put it another way, completely get rid of this job that doesn’t even have holidays 100 days a year, but when this day really comes, I don’t feel relieved, it’s so strange!”

Tanavis said nothing, and turned to look outside the door.

"I don't know why Pluto fired me suddenly." Karen said, "This is also a strange thing."

"Master Pluto just canceled your status as a salvager in the underworld. Don't forget that you still have an office in the underworld to manage in New York." Tanavis said to a ghost holding a dog: "You can't take it with you at the same time. Enter, this is not an animal passage."

The ghost was a gray-haired old man. He adjusted his pair of brown glasses with his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, why not? Are you discriminating against small animals?"

"This is the rule of the underworld, you have to go your own way!" Tanavis said, reaching out to the dog in his hand, "give it to me!"

"No! It has to go with me. We have been separated for 70 years, and I finally found it! Please let me bring it in together!" The white-haired old man said in a begging tone.

Karen looked at the yellow puppy in the white-haired old man's hand. The puppy stuck out its tongue and looked at Tanavis in a daze.

Tanavis stared at the white-haired old man and said, "Sorry!"

"Then, if Caesar can't go in with me, I won't go in either!" With that said, the white-haired old man turned around to leave, his actions surprised the souls waiting behind, they didn't expect to be in front of the gate of the underworld There can be such an operation, and there are discussions.

Tanavis' face turned ugly, he looked up at the stubborn white-haired old man, and said, "Just this time, don't make another example!"

The white-haired old man smiled triumphantly, turned around with the puppy in his arms, and said, "Hey, young man, you wish you had said no earlier! Rules are dead, but people are alive, aren't they?"

"You're not a human, you're a ghost, and I'm not, either, I'm Death." Tanavis said expressionlessly, he reached out and patted the white-haired old man's shoulder lightly, saying: " Go in! Take your... Caesar."

Smiling, the white-haired old man hugged the dog and entered the underworld along the water flow. One person and one dog quietly floated in the Styx towards the judgment seat.

Karen looked at the white-haired old man who was getting closer and closer to them, and said softly: "You are still so soft-hearted, I'm afraid Cerberus will be angry, it hates you for letting small animals in!" Those little frogs , which one was not put in by Tanavis, if he didn't allow it, those little guys would never have appeared in the Styx.

Tanavis twitched his lips slightly, and said, "Master Pluto's aquarium will be very lively."

Karen shrugged and said, "Well, you're right."

"Karen!" Tanavis said, "You are not a salvager in the underworld now, and it will not do you any good to miss the closing time of the underworld!"

Karen shrugged helplessly and said, "I know, I'm leaving now!"

Tanavis nodded, looked at Karen, hesitated for a while, and asked, "By the way, Karen!"

Karen, who was about to leave just now, looked back at Tanavis, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Tanavis signaled to the waiting souls to enter a timeout. He looked at Karen with a blank face seriously, and said, "Do you still keep the card I gave you?"

Karen nodded and said, "Of course!"

Tanavis showed a relieved look and said, "Contact me if you have anything, understand?"

"Well, I see! Thank you, Tanavis!" Karen smiled gratefully, "Okay, I'm going back! Take your time!"

Tanavis didn't answer her, and turned back to his work.

Karen watched him for a moment, then turned and followed the water slope back to the shore.

Tanavis retracted the slope the moment Karen reached the shore. He looked at Karen waving goodbye to him, and murmured, "Sorry, Karen."

About Loki forcing Pluto to fire her, it's better that she doesn't know!Knowing nothing is bliss sometimes!Tanavis said silently in his heart.

Underworld staff dormitory.

Karen's figure appeared in her room, she looked around the room, Loki did not come back.She turned her head, seeing the spell of the underworld gradually disappearing from the wall, she was silent for a while, and sighed.

This spell has been Karen's work channel for the past ten years, and now that the spell is gone, it also means that her work channel is permanently closed to her.At this moment, she really realized that she was no longer a salvager in the underworld, and was really fired by Pluto and his old man.

Karen's shoulders drooped slightly, she took off the mask from her face and threw it on the desk, dragged the chair away and sat down.

Freed?

Yes, that's right, she's relieved. From now on, she just needs to manage her sweetheart well and mark more souls with desserts for the underworld.

but……

Karen looked at her own face in the reflection of the window. It was not a happy face, and the emotions on it were so complicated that she couldn't see it clearly, and she was also a little conflicted and confused in her heart. Because of the sudden dismissal, she Like a bird that is at a loss when faced with an open cage door.

I need a drink!Karen thought to herself, stood up silently and walked out of the room.

15 minutes later, the kitchen.

Mark wanted to cry but shook the small wine barrel in his hand and shouted: "Karen Bullock, are you trying to commit suicide or kill me!!!"

Karen held her head in a daze, and put the empty wine glass in her hand to her mouth, huh?Out of wine?She reached for the wine barrel in Mark's hand.

Mark immediately backed away a few steps with the small wine barrel in his arms, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You still want to drink!! You almost finished all the wine I saved?" He patted the wine barrel in his arms and said: "I can't let you drink any more!"

"Hey, Mark, give me a drink!" Karen raised her eyes and stared at Mark, "Stinger! Why are you shouting so loudly after drinking a little of your wine! Tomorrow... I'll buy you a hundred barrels!"

"I'm stingy! If I'm stingy, I should beat you up! Damn it! You're a damn drinker! You're usually drunk after just one drink," Mark said angrily, "However, today, you drank two barrels of wine! Two barrels! Oh my god! Karen Bullock, you're trying to piss me off!"

Karen stood up staggeringly, walked towards Mark, and muttered: "Why are you mad at me for nothing? It's just a little wine, why are you angry! Come on, give me the wine, I swear, I swear tomorrow Just" She threw herself towards the barrel.

Mark shook his head helplessly, and suddenly disappeared with people and wine.

Karen jumped into the air and bumped her head on the cooking table. She lay on the table, was silent for a while, laughed, and muttered to herself: "Wine is really a good thing! I can think very clearly now !"

"Oh? Really?" Loki's figure appeared in Karen's sight.

Karen leaned against the cold countertop, watched Loki walk in front of him motionlessly, and said, "Well, that's right!"

Loki tilted his head and stared at Karen, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It looks like he's drunk."

"Who? Who are you saying is drunk? Me?" Karen pointed at her nose and laughed, "You read wrong, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little dizzy now!"

Loki smiled amusedly, looked at Karen and said, "You're not drunk? That just means you're drunk, stupid woman!"

"Crack!" Karen slapped the counter heavily, straightened up from the cooking counter, pointed at Loki and said, "Hey! I warn you, don't call me a stupid woman again! I've put up with you for a long time! Loki Kee! You bastard! Coward! Treacherous bastard plus coward!"

Rocky was startled by Karen's sudden slap on the table, and then heard what she said behind him. He frowned and said, "A treacherous bastard plus a coward?"

"That's right!" Karen walked in front of him staggeringly, raised her head, and said, "You damn bastard! You are a treacherous bastard, a coward and a liar!"
