Do you want to be the King of Hell?
After reading the contents of the paper slip, Jiang Lin’s heart skipped a beat.
As everyone knows, the King of the Northern Palace pleaded guilty and voluntarily resigned from his position.
Currently, there is no King of Hell in the Northern Palace.
Only the Four Judges are handling affairs on his behalf.
The Eastern, Western, and Southern Palaces each dispatched a team to station there for supervision.
After Jiang Lin finished reading, the paper slip, transformed from a thousand paper cranes, turned into ashes.
A prank?
Or a ghost with ulterior motives?
What was their purpose?
"Master, what's wrong?"
The Seven-Colored Egg, having finished its homework, flew over and circled the spot where the ashes had disappeared.
"It's nothing."
Jiang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked up at the Seven-Colored Egg, "Is your homework done?"
"Mhm mhm!"
"I'm going out on a mission tomorrow. You go to school and come back on time, and don't run around."
"Okay, Master~!"
...
The next morning,
The Seven-Colored Egg went to school, while Jiang Lin opened the underworld passage and headed to the human world.
After learning the requirements for graduating from the beginner class of musical instruments, Jiang Lin began to look for suitable missions.
Unlike other students in the beginner class of musical instruments, who had to learn in multiple aspects to facilitate their future positions in the Northern Palace.
With limited time, Jiang Lin only planned to specialize in a few commonly used melodies.
Furthermore, the graduation requirements for the beginner class of musical instruments were not high; one only needed to complete a mission using the learned melodies.
After careful consideration, he decided to graduate early and check out the intermediate class.
If he could further improve his specialized melodies, that would be even better.
As soon as he exited the underworld passage, Jiang Lin encountered Senior Xu Youzhi and Yu Baixing, who were on their way to the sealing location.
"Senior."
"Oh, it's Jiang Lin,"
Xu Youzhi stopped and said a few words, "I heard you're doing well in the Northern Palace. Keep up the good work."
"Yes."
Jiang Lin replied, and also asked about the progress of the sealing work.
"It's going alright."
Mentioning this, a thoughtful look flashed in Xu Youzhi's eyes.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that the ghost officers of the Northern Palace's sealing team didn't want them to complete the sealing work early and leave.
Instead, they were dragging their feet, inviting them for tea, sharing gossip...
Xu Youzhi shook his head and didn't mention these things.
Perhaps, he was overthinking it.
Was the Northern Palace simply characterized by this leisurely style of slacking off?
"I'll notify you in advance when we're about to leave. Study hard."
After speaking, Xu Youzhi took Yu Baixing and flew in another direction.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and didn't mention the events of last night.
He turned and went to the address provided in the mission information, and then opened the live stream.
...
"Finally caught the streamer, first!"
"First!"
"First!"
As soon as the live stream opened, it was flooded with messages.
"Are you guys demons? It's only seven in the morning! Kids haven't even gone to school yet!"
"The early bird catches the worm, the early worm is eaten by the bird. So the question is, are we birds or worms? (Thinking jpg.)"
A group of viewers were brushing their teeth, while some were still in bed.
Upon seeing this sentence, they all fell silent.
"So, whose house will the streamer visit today?"
Viewers from the northern regions were getting a little restless.
...
"Today's mission is mainly soul exorcism."
Jiang Lin glanced at the comments and explained calmly.
The graduation work he decided to submit was the soul exorcism melody.
It was also a melody he would use frequently.
Hearing this, the viewers in front of the screen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Those brushing their teeth continued brushing, and those lying down continued lying down.
However, new questions arose in their minds.
Soul exorcism?
Exorcise what soul? Whose soul?
Could someone be possessed?
...Transmigrator? Reincarnator?
Thinking of the novels they had read over the years, the viewers' imaginations ran wild.
It was a bit chilling to think about.
"So, it's terrifying if you think about it, but not if you don't, right?"
"I'll go to the bathroom first."
...
Soon, the live stream camera followed Jiang Lin to a residential area.
He passed through the wall.
Entering a bedroom.
The bedroom was not large, just enough to accommodate a small bed and a desk.
On the desk, fourth-grade composition books and practice books were neatly arranged.
It was early morning at this time.
A small figure was curled up in the quilt, forming a small mound on the bed.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The hour hand pointed to 7:15.
Jingle bell—
Jingle bell—
The alarm clock on the bedside table rang.
The lump in the quilt shrunk, turned over, and covered its ears.
Jingle bell—
Jingle bell—
The alarm clock rang incessantly, as if it would not rest until its owner was woken up.
Just then, the half-open bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
A large black dog ran in, raised its paw, and pressed the alarm clock's switch.
Click.
The annoying alarm sound was gone.
The figure on the bed could finally sleep peacefully.
But the big black dog wouldn't let its little master go.
It nudged with its nose, then bit the quilt and started to pull it out.
"Big Black, stop messing around."
The little master on the bed mumbled a couple of times, preparing to pull the quilt back.
However, their strength was too small, and after several attempts, they failed.
"Woof woof!"
"Woof!"
Big Black was persistent, sometimes nudging with its nose, sometimes licking the little master's palm.
"e=(´o｀*))) Alas~"
The little master on the bed was helpless, and sat up with sleepy eyes, "Big Black, it's the weekend today, no school."
"Woof?"
Big Black tilted its head, seeming a bit confused.
It glanced at the calendar below the digital alarm clock, then at the little master who had already lain down again.
"Woof!"
As soon as Chu Yuan closed his eyes, something 'bang' hit him.
Bang! Bang!
Chu Yuan was helpless and had to open his eyes.
In front of the bed, Big Black was biting the digital alarm clock, preparing to smash it again.
Seeing that its little master was awake, it quickly pushed the alarm clock in front of Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan's gaze shifted down to the calendar on it.
The next moment, he jumped out of bed abruptly.
"It's Monday today!"
He changed his clothes while running outside.
Grabbed his schoolbag, packed his books, put on his shoes...
"Woof!"
Big Black stood in front of the table, raised its paw, and pressed down on a five-yuan bill.
"Almost forgot!"
Chu Yuan quickly ran back, grabbed the five-yuan bill, and ran out.
This was his daily breakfast money and pocket money.
Bang!
The main door closed behind him.
Big Black followed closely, and they ran to school together.
...(When changing clothes, the live stream orb automatically adjusted the camera.))...
"Hahaha, just like me, I always thought it was the weekend on Mondays."
"Holy crap, I have to go to school too!"
In the live stream, the viewers saw the person and the dog leave.
Only then did they realize that time was not early.
One by one, they got out of bed, some going to school, some going to work.
As for those who were already ready, or had nothing to do, they looked at Big Black with envy.
This dog was too spiritual.
Perhaps it had attended school before?
"A pet dog that can wake people up, I want one too, (envious jpg.)"
"You're not right upstairs."
"Wait, don't you guys remember, the streamer is here to exorcise souls?"
The streamer isn't specifically here to watch humans' school life...
