Ao?
On the streets of the human world.
The hellhounds, ordered to search for information on the soon-to-be-deceased, raised their heads, looked around blankly, and then continued sniffing.
The operations of the Underworld formed a self-contained system with layered responsibilities.
The job of these hellhounds was to search the human world for people with death energy on them who were about to die.
They possessed a special ability: as they sniffed, images would appear in their minds.
This information would then transform into orbs of light, automatically transmitted to nearby ghost envoys responsible for that specific task.
Of course, some people with excessively heavy Yin energy, or those who had accumulated dense death energy due to certain events,
would sometimes be mistaken for the soon-to-be-deceased.
However, this information would ultimately be handed over to specialized ghost envoys for review and compilation.
Only then would it be distributed to the work ledgers of the Black and White Impermanence.
?
As if sensing a scent, one hellhound quickly gave chase.
Not long after entering, it was flung out by a surge of ghostly energy.
Awooo
The hellhound bared its teeth at the strange figure before it,
while stealthily transmitting the information.
Shortly after,
another orb of light flew into the space that the pointed-eared ghost had sectioned off for itself.
This orb of light carried a hint of red,
indicating it was not ordinary information about the soon-to-be-deceased, but rather abnormal information related to ghosts or monsters.
Pointed-eared ghost:
With so much to do, why are there still so many causing trouble?
He scratched his head, busy as could be.
While reviewing the various pieces of information, he swiftly distributed the orbs of light to the various Black and White Impermanence captains.
His hands moved so fast they were almost a blur.
Despite his growing headache, he was meticulous in his work.
He was already familiar with the workflow.
Orbs of light with red hues were, after inspection, sent to the task center.
In just a moment, a new task appeared on the task board in the center.
Underworld.
Within the Eighteen Halls.
Jiang Lin's soul-guiding ledger lit up, displaying information on various souls.
Work had arrived.
Jiang Lin looked up at the twenty ghost envoys before him.
This would be the first assignment for their Eighteen Halls.
Among these twenty ghost envoys, only five were newly appointed.
Li Xiao, who reported first, was one of these five.
Generally speaking,
newly appointed ghost envoys would be assigned to experienced ones for a period of time, or to work on a few tasks together.
Before they reported, Jiang Lin had already planned their assignments.
As they hadn't interacted much yet, Jiang Lin could only base his decisions on their performance.
He assigned the five newly appointed ghost envoys to be mentored by senior envoys with stable performance.
Among them, the old woman Fu Jia was also assigned one.
Based on performance, Fu Jia's work attitude was likely very stable.
Whether to reassign them later would depend on what Jiang Lin was about to do.
After distributing the information from the soul-guiding ledger, the twenty members of the Eighteen Halls set off.
And Jiang Lin also set off.
Oye! The main force is in action!
Where is the streamer going next? Shall we celebrate?
My guess is he's going to check up on them (dog emoji)
In the live stream, seeing the ghost envoys start to move, the viewers inexplicably became more excited, munching on their snacks.
It felt like something big was about to happen.
Just as I was about to reveal where the streamer was going, my mom called me to go to school! Damn it!
What the heck, what time is it?!
Brothers, the current broadcast time is 7:45 AM.
Those who need to go to school, quickly put on your school uniforms, those who need to go to work, quickly put on your work clothes. Another day of not wanting to work hard~
The upstairs guy is toxic! Hearing that suddenly made me want to just lie flat.
Jiang Lin had not assigned himself any tasks or work for today.
He planned to follow his team members first, to observe their work performance.
To understand their personalities, and
their attitudes towards the human world and the souls, as well as their ability to respond to emergencies.
He distributed the soul information according to time, staggering their work hours as much as possible.
This would give him time to observe and understand.
His first stop in the human world was at the old woman Fu Jia's location.
The newly appointed ghost envoy assigned to Fu Jia was a young man with a fresh face, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
Ji Yin. Intern for 103 years.
His performance during his internship was mediocre, and he was not very proactive.
His current cultivation realm was mid-stage幽魂 (You Hun -幽魂).
Fu Jia had rich life experience, perhaps Ji Yin could learn something from her.
This time, their destination for guiding souls was a hospital.
Seeing Fu Jia lead Ji Yin into the hospital, Jiang Lin, who was not far away, followed.
He did not reveal himself, but concealed his aura, watching silently from the shadows.
Haha, the streamer is here to patrol and check their work!
Wait, what is that thing?!
That shouldn't be a thing, right?
Just as Jiang Lin was about to enter the hospital, the viewers in the live stream suddenly froze.
At the hospital entrance, a creature resembling a dog was lying there.
Its pupils were scarlet, its teeth were bared, and its entire body was almost bone.
It looked as if its skin had been peeled off, with the patterns of its flesh and blood visible.
And at this moment, it was staring at the pedestrians coming and going, saliva dripping from its mouth.
It looked terrifyingly ghastly.
Holy crap, holy crap?! Is this a creature from the human world???
Don't disappoint me again, donate a skyscraper*5 to the streamer with the message: Streamer, streamer, what is this thing?
It's giving me goosebumps.
Some viewers rubbed their arms, looking at the creature.
While feeling scared, they also felt a pang of sympathy.
Being skinned looked painful.
But it was truly terrifying!
After entering the hospital, Jiang Lin inadvertently glanced at the bullet comments in the live stream.
At the hospital entrance?
He turned his head and glanced at the creature the viewers were talking about at the entrance.
He explained lightly:
This is a hellhound. Unlike the three-headed hellhounds, their danger level is not as high.
These hellhounds are mainly responsible for sniffing out information about the dying among the crowd and transmitting it to the guarding ghost envoys.
The information about the souls I guide you usually see is first discovered by these hellhounds.
Because they have to search everywhere, these hellhounds need to travel to various places constantly.
In a way, the work of hellhounds is not easy, and the possibility of encountering danger is not low.
Jiang Lin looked at the hellhound at the entrance and raised an eyebrow.
This one is quite clever.
???
Before the viewers could understand what was happening, they suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance in the live stream.
Immediately after, an ambulance stopped at the hospital entrance.
After the medical staff got out, they quickly took a patient into the hospital.
As the gurney carrying the patient passed the hospital entrance, the hellhound that had been lying there suddenly stood up.
It sniffed the death energy in the air, seemingly confirming something.
After a moment, the hellhound in the live stream footage lay back down.
Hospitals are gathering places for all sorts of injured patients, and people often die there.
Therefore, as long as it guards the entrance, the soon-to-be-deceased will constantly be brought to its doorstep.
However, this would limit its search area.
If every hellhound did this, it would be difficult to find information on the soon-to-be-deceased in other areas.
This is why Jiang Lin said this one was quite clever.
Holy crap, are hellhounds this smart nowadays?!
It looked so fierce, I thought it was waiting for an opportunity to bite, but it was just being lazy and resting?!
Even its lazy posture is so terrifying, I've learned its ways ┌(。Д。)┐
