"Where did you get this information? Is it completely reliable?"
Yan Luo's voice echoed clearly throughout the great hall.
The two first-rank ghost messengers instinctively looked at Jiang Lin, waiting to see how he would respond.
Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said, "It's not entirely reliable. The authenticity of the information still needs to be confirmed."
What the heck?
The two first-rank ghost messengers were stunned.
During such a busy period, you specifically came to deliver information that isn't completely reliable?
And you even dared to let King Yama review it first?
What are you doing? Are you intentionally seeking a beating?
In their shock, the two ghosts subtly leaned back.
They were waiting for King Yama to erupt in anger so they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
However, strangely,
King Yama, who had been on the verge of exploding recently, merely frowned calmly.
He listened as Jiang Lin continued.
The two ghosts exchanged glances. This situation...
Either he was so angry he was waiting to deal with it all at once later.
Or, the document submitted by that ghost messenger had something significant in it.
"This information comes from the Dragon Palace..."
Jiang Lin's voice was neither hurried nor slow as he briefly explained the source of the information and its credibility.
Although he himself was the biggest variable in the entire dream, everything else besides him basically matched up.
For example, on which day he received the urgent summons from the Underworld.
For example, the appearance of the pollution source incident.
Of course, he didn't mention anything about the system.
Nor did he point out that he was the variable.
The submitted document was merely information he had sorted out and deemed useful.
Jiang Lin: "If successful, it will greatly reduce casualties and end the pollution source incident ahead of schedule."
"But if it fails, it means we have wasted a large amount of time and ghost power," Yan Luo added.
Instantly, Jiang Lin felt a pressure bearing down on him.
The surrounding air became heavy.
Yan Luo looked at the document in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
"It's that little bone dragon that came back, isn't it?"
What could a newly returned little dragon cub do?
Unless, those few powerful beings personally intervened...
But the Dragon race had long since transcended the Three Realms and naturally wouldn't bother with such matters.
Unless it was an event of the magnitude of a world-ending catastrophe, it would be difficult to get them to assist wholeheartedly.
And,
As far as she knew, the Dragon race had no major movements recently.
Yan Luo looked down at Jiang Lin and said coldly:
"What is your purpose? Or rather, what do you want in exchange for this information?"
"..."
Jiang Lin knew he was being suspected.
But since he had come this far, he wasn't afraid of suspicion.
On his own, even with this information, he couldn't resolve the pollution source.
But if the Underworld lent its strength,
If the overall environment was safe, he would naturally be safe too.
As for the colorful egg...
Even if it did something or displayed any abilities, it belonged to the Dragon race.
As long as it didn't commit any major mistakes, the Underworld had no right to govern it.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Lin's voice rang out in the hall again.
"Your subordinate only wishes to resolve the pollution source as soon as possible."
"However, this information primarily originates from the colorful egg."
"If it is true and reliable, and can help the Underworld, I believe King Yama will not be stingy with its reward."
(Θ△Θ＠)
The two first-rank ghost messengers who were eavesdropping widened their eyes: Hey, hey, you're already starting to ask for rewards?
Are the new captains this bold now?
Yan Luo's expression remained unchanged, "Alright, I understand. I will send ghosts to verify it later."
"You go about your business."
Jiang Lin cupped his hands, "Yes."
...
After Jiang Lin left, Yan Luo sent a ghost soldier by her side to verify the first information node.
Turning back, she saw the curious looks of the two first-rank ghost messengers.
She distributed the document in her hand, in duplicate, to them.
"You two take a look as well. If the information on it is confirmed, the entire Underworld will likely be very busy."
After receiving the documents, the two first-rank ghost messengers quickly scanned them, their expressions rapidly becoming grave.
"Is that ghost messenger trustworthy?"
"What do you think?" Yan Luo retorted:
"The new generation Underworld propagator, the newly returned Dragon cub 'Incubator' from the Dragon Palace, the Captain of the White Wuchang of the East Hall."
Each of these three identities was no small matter.
"If what is stated above is true... then since he has come this far, the Underworld cannot betray this trust, can it?"
Provided that what was stated was true.
...
"Hoo~"
After leaving King Yama's hall, Jiang Lin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
In the past, when he met King Yama, the atmosphere was mostly just serious, and sometimes even relaxed.
Only this time,
It felt as if he would be beaten flat if he made the slightest mistake.
The atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive.
However, the situation was urgent, and being suspected was understandable.
Without thinking about what arrangements would be made in King Yama's hall, Jiang Lin opened the Underworld passage and flew directly to the human world.
At the same time, he brought up one by one the live stream feeds.
Based on the information obtained from the colorful egg's dream, the pollution sources were always hidden in various places,
Gathering in clusters, quietly accumulating strength.
Then, a collective surprise attack!
According to subsequent battle records, the first verifiable information node was within these two days.
This was also the first time the Underworld suffered collective losses.
The casualties of humans and ghost messengers were not a small number.
...
...
"Oh~~~ Look what I see, I actually see the streamer! ❀"
"What are you being so noisy about? It's not like we haven't seen you before, streamer, streamer, look over here~"
"[Shui Ying Lou Tai] gifted the streamer a hot air balloon * 10~"
"[Mo Jun Ye] gifted the streamer an ice watermelon * 33~"
As soon as Jiang Lin appeared in the human world's camera feed, the viewers in the live stream room became excited.
Playful bullet comments and gifts flew by.
Although the streamer sometimes broadcasted the members' mission processes, and even Xu Nan and the mechanical ball would appear,
It was interesting to see different streaming styles.
But it always felt like something was missing.
When the streamer was present, it was the true Underworld Healing Daily Live Stream.
It wasn't something anyone could do.
"Friends next to me, please move aside, I'm setting up my stall. I've got new flavors of sunflower seeds."
"I have newly released soda here, strawberry flavor."
"Streamer, everyone has been looking very serious lately, is something happening?"
Even though the ghost messengers hadn't mentioned anything, the viewers could tell.
The ghost messengers who had appeared recently, whether in their expressions or their conduct, were very serious and meticulous.
It was as if they were facing some great crisis.
This had also led to many speculations online.
Some said a vengeful spirit had escaped.
Others said the Underworld was about to change.
Even bolder ones speculated that the world was about to be destroyed.
In short, there were all sorts of theories. One could never underestimate the imagination of netizens.
