"So beautiful, it's glowing..."
"It gives off a very gentle feeling."
In the live stream,
The viewers watched as the soul, following the ghost attendant's instructions,
Extended its hand,
Then, the main trunk of the Two Realms Tree lit up.
A gentle radiance emanated from the gaps between its branches and leaves.
Tender green leaves, red silk ribbons.
All possessed a hazy beauty.
In no time, the leaves of the Two Realms Tree rustled.
Making a rustling sound.
A red silk ribbon detached and floated down, landing in the soul's hand.
The entire scene appeared as if
A divine tree had manifested, responding to someone's wish.
"The way the Two Realms Tree is used is too ethereal!"
"If what the streamer says is true, then solving cases in the future will be much easier!"
"Hey, I can throw away my will!"
Thinking of the benefits the Two Realms Tree would bring in the future,
The viewers felt a sense of anticipation and relief.
Everyone lives, and everyone dies.
Their families, themselves...
No one knows when an accident might strike.
Some people, even if they had prepared their wills decades in advance, still feared that their intended messages might not be conveyed.
Because,
What if their house suddenly caught fire?
What if a child accidentally tore it to shreds?
What if a dog carried it away?
Who could say for sure that such things would never happen?
...
While the viewers were contemplating,
In front of the Two Realms Tree,
Zhou Yiwen, holding the red silk ribbon, followed the ghost attendant's instructions and placed the ribbon on his forehead.
He focused his thoughts on what he wanted to say.
As he thought, his eyes began to water.
A grown man, covering his eyes with the red silk ribbon, his shoulders trembling,
Began to sob softly.
Ghost tears flew out from beneath the red silk ribbon,
And with a gentle wave of the ghost attendant's hand, they fell into his palm and were collected.
After a while,
Zhou Yiwen finally managed to control his emotions. The red silk ribbon in his hand felt slightly warm.
He removed the ribbon from his forehead,
His eyes red, he looked up at the branches above.
His body floated gently,
And he tied the red silk ribbon onto a branch in the middle of the Two Realms Tree, filled with his hopes.
"Proceed on your journey."
The ghost attendant reminded him.
Zhou Yiwen couldn't help but ask, "Will it really be conveyed?"
The ghost attendant looked up at the newly formed tree, also feeling a sense of emotion.
If only something like this had existed before.
The Underworld now was so much better.
"Within three days. If the recipient receives it, the Two Realms Tree will bloom."
"The fragrance of the flowers will tell you the answer."
"Thank you, Ghost Attendant."
Zhou Yiwen expressed his sincere gratitude.
As he stepped onto the Yellow Springs Road again, the worry etched on his face had lessened considerably.
He looked back step by step, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
After escorting the soul, the ghost attendant looked up at Jiang Lin and cupped his hands.
As a form of greeting.
After Jiang Lin nodded, he turned and left.
With the Two Realms Trees,
The occurrences of souls undergoing anomalies on the Yellow Springs Road would be greatly reduced in the future.
Moreover,
For many ghost attendants,
By waiting for a while,
They might receive randomly dropped ghost tears.
It was quite profitable.
Therefore, the ghost attendants of the Underworld accepted this new facility at the entrance of the Yellow Springs Road very well.
In the future, it even spurred a wave of recruitment for soul escorting.
Many probationary ghost attendants indicated in their future career aspirations that they wished to transfer to the soul escorting department.
Of course, that was a story for another time.
...
Bang bang bang!
In the live stream, a flurry of gifts flashed by, fireworks blooming.
"Streamer, streamer, the old man from last night dreamt of whipping me, saying that if I don't perform well, I won't be able to stay in the Ghost Market. What's going on?"
A viewer asked sincerely.
Upon hearing this, several other viewers chimed in:
"I've had dreams like that too, I thought it was just me overthinking!"
"Holy crap, so the old folks really came?"
"Me too. My grandma also said that the spots are limited."
...
Jiang Lin looked at the barrage of comments and thought about the recent changes in the Ghost Market.
After some thought, he said, "It's been a while since I've been to the Ghost Market. Today, I'll take you all for a stroll."
As he spoke, his figure moved.
He left the Yellow Springs Road and flew towards the Ghost Market.
Along the way, he encountered some working ghost babies.
Their small figures, carrying boxes, zipped past from not far away.
Every two seconds, they would zip back.
Catching up to Jiang Lin's back.
While chasing, they waved and shouted:
"Captain Jiang! Captain Jiang!"
Jiang Lin heard them, slowed down, and stopped.
With his current strength, if he were to fly at full speed, these ghost babies, who specialized in speed, might not be able to keep up entirely.
"What is it?" Jiang Lin turned and asked.
The ghost baby, holding a box under its arm with one hand, greeted him, "Captain Jiang, are you busy lately?"
Jiang Lin: "It's alright."
His gaze fell on the box in the ghost baby's hand, and he said, "I heard you changed professions?"
With the successful establishment of the Underworld's network, many industries and positions were impacted.
For example, the Ministry of Agriculture, where Xu Guzi worked,
When Jiang Lin last dined with Xu Shuzi's family, he heard that the Ministry of Agriculture had now adopted mechanized farming.
This saved a lot of ghost power.
In addition,
Xu Nan's probationary department was also said to have started using computers.
Processing and statistical tasks had become more convenient and faster.
As a result, fewer ghost personnel were needed.
Some probationary ghost attendants who were previously working in these fields had to be reassigned.
And the ghost babies...
Ghost babies were always known for their specialization in speed.
Among those of the same level, their speed was almost unmatched by any other ghost.
In the business of delivering messages and items,
Their service capabilities were excellent and highly reliable.
However, these ghost babies also had their pride.
Their sensing stones had "three prohibitions":
They would not give them to ghosts of lower cultivation.
Nor would they give them to ghosts with inferior positions.
And they certainly wouldn't give them to ghosts they disliked.
...
Now that the Underworld had a network,
The number of times ghost babies were summoned had also significantly decreased.
Jiang Lin and the others even had work groups on their phones.
If there was a meeting or any important matter,
King Yama would issue a call, and everyone would know.
It was fast, convenient,
And most importantly, it saved money.
"Haha... that's what I wanted to talk about."
The ghost baby grinned, its large head and innocent face.
With the hand not holding the box, it offered a business card.
"We have established a Ghost Baby Express Company."
"We can deliver messages and help send items."
"However, there are service tiers. We have recruited many employees."
"For Level 1 service, we will deliver it ourselves."
"For Level 2 and 3 service, other employees will deliver it."
"But the price will be much cheaper."
