The metaphysicist, he only believes in science

Mad Rat asked curiously: "Are you tired of traveling between the Yin and Yang realms?"

Lin Yi rubbed the corners of his tired and sore eyes and said, "It's a bit too much. When I finish this period of work, I have to make some new plans."

Crazy Rat agreed, but still couldn't help but ask: "What if there is an emergency in the unit during the Chinese New Year, how should I contact you?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and handed him a signal symbol.

"Just write the words on the talisman paper and burn it to me."

Lin Yi went to the Guochenghuang Temple to conduct assessments on the various ghosts, officials and impermanent priests in the underworld. The workload was even greater.

Although he has tried his best to delegate tasks to reduce the workload at hand, there are thousands of files for each priest, almost filling the office allocated to him in the Guochenghuang Temple Supervisory Hall.

Although he also has his own private soldiers and ghost officials assigned to him as full-time scribes, the final assessment of many priests with high grades still has to be reviewed by him.

Time slipped to New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

It was the rest time for the ghosts and gods during the day, but Lin Yi still stayed at the Yamen of the Supervisory Hall and worked overtime.

After working overtime until dusk, the clerk on duty suddenly discovered that an office of the Eighth Supervisory Envoy had opened, so he curiously poked his head in.

A young man wearing a black hat and a black robe with a jade belt around his waist and double sleeves was writing furiously in front of the desk.

The clerk took a closer look and saw that he had slender eyebrows, handsome eyes, and outstanding temperament. His gold-embroidered sleeves made his arms slender and powerful. The unique four-letter nickname on his black hat was none other than the famous No. 1 fierce ghost in Dongyue. Is the world awake, sir?

"Sir Sober, all the ghosts and gods have gone to the party, why are you still working here?" The clerk stood at the door and asked in surprise.

Lin Yi raised his head, glanced at the clerk, and replied: "There are still some unfinished errands on hand."

The clerk looked in admiration: "Master Xingxing is dedicated to his job and is a role model for our generation."

Lin Yi said with a smile: "No, it's mainly because I'm usually lazy, but now I have to work overtime."

The clerk took it as a modest comment and left with a look of respect.

The wise man in the human world not only has a strong background and high abilities, but is also so dedicated. It is unreasonable to not be promoted.

……

Chu Jian, who called Lin Yi countless times, had to accept Mad Rat's explanation.

"Koi returns to his hometown every year during the Chinese New Year, rain or shine, and is unstoppable. This is no secret in the organization."

Chu Jian frowned: "Didn't it mean that none of the relatives within the third generation of Koi are still alive, and none of the relatives in the fifth server are alive anymore?"

Mad Rat explained with a smile: "I went back to my hometown to visit my former neighbors. It is said that Koi's last relative is gone, and these neighbors helped him a lot. So Koi will go back to his hometown every New Year."

Chu Jian said: "He is a person who remembers feelings."

"That's right." Crazy Rat was complaining crazily in his heart. Fortunately, this kid would find reasons to give himself a "love-remembering" persona. It turns out that every Chinese New Year, I work overtime in the underworld.

Sometimes Mad Rat wants to go to the underworld to see how this kid works in the underworld and how he deceives the ghosts and gods.

Hei Niu and others also came over, telling Chu Jian to go to the underworld and make sure to stay awake and deal with the human world.

Chu Jian suddenly thought that Crazy Rat was rescued by the lucid human being, so he asked Crazy Rat: "Do you know the lucid human being?"

"do not know."

Chu Jian looked at him with bright eyes.

Mad Rat felt guilty after being stared at by him, and emphasized once again: "I really don't know him."

Chu Jian said: "You are lying."

Crazy Rat: "..."

Hei Niu and others also looked at Mad Rat suspiciously.

After a while, everyone came to their senses.

"Well you crazy rat, it turns out that among us, you are the one who hides your secrets."

Several people pressed Mad Rat against the wall and asked, "Tell me, how do you know the sanity in the world?"

“What does it look like to be awake in the world?”

"How did you know each other?"

"Koi is recognized as a stick for holding shit, so you old boy is no less willing to give in."

Mad Rat wanted to cry but had no tears, and repeatedly emphasized that he did not know the sanity in the world, but Black Bull would never believe him again, and pressed him against the wall like a prisoner.

"Be honest, be lenient if you confess, and be lenient if you resist."

Chu Jian said: "Forget it if he doesn't want to confess. Anyway, I will personally meet this legendary most powerful ghost in the underworld tonight."

Mad Rat quickly said: "Then go quickly. I also want to see what that kid is doing in the underworld."

"That boy?" Hei Niu tasted it carefully, then grabbed Mad Rat by the collar and asked, "It seems that not only do you know him, but you also have a lot of friendship with him." "Ah, no, it's just an ordinary friendship, no, no, it's just It's just acquaintance, not friendship. Really, I also want to put some money on my face, but I really can't." Crazy Rat wants to beat himself to death. It seems that he is really not suitable for acting. I really want to talk a lot. What a mistake.

Hei Niu let him go with hesitation and said, "Forget it, Bureau Chu will go to the underworld soon anyway. I will give you the sentence when Bureau Chu comes back."

……

The Guochenghuang Temple and the Fuchenghuang Temple held a gala at the same time, inviting outstanding Taoist priests from the imperial capital to eat Yinsi rice, as well as ghosts and gods from all walks of life, to the Guochenghuang Temple to participate in the annual gala.

Lin Yi didn't want to participate.

At first he was afraid that when he met Chu Jian, he would lose his horse.

Secondly, Lin Yi didn't want to be in the limelight anymore.

Because he went to the Underworld Road alone to save the soul of a mad rat a while ago, he was called the "Havoc on the Underworld Road" by the Dongyue Prefecture. The underworld theater troupe has started rehearsing all the scenes about waking up in the world and causing a "Havoc on the Underworld Road". It is said that at the Spring Festival Gala, he will also act as a star. The finale comes on.

Lin Yi didn't even dare to go.

I kept working overtime until it was dark, and then I finished the work on hand.

Lin Yi stretched and prepared to go back to catch up on his sleep.

Then he received the signal symbol given to him by Mad Rat.

"Chu Bureau has gone to the underworld. If you don't want to lose your horse, try not to have contact with the other party."

Lin Yi smiled. He would never go to the gala in the first place, so he was not afraid of Chu Jian.

But Mad Rat's next words made him unable to laugh anymore.

"Chu Bureau and Hei Niu already know that we know each other. What should we do? Wait online."

Lin Yi secretly scolded this old guy for being such a conspicuous fool who couldn't keep such a secret.

……

On New Year's Eve, the gates of hell will open at 8 p.m., and the resident ghosts in the underworld can also go to the upper world to see their relatives or take a walk in the upper world.

When Lin Yi left, it was when the gate of hell was wide open, and a group of ghost people left the gate of ghost in groups and went to the earthly world.

Taking off his uniform, putting on an ordinary Republic of China gown, wearing glasses, and waving a fan, Lin Yi swaggered among a group of ghost people, and Shi Shiran left the ghost gate.

"Dang, Dang..." The golden gong sounded from behind, and the ghosts spontaneously moved out of the way.

Lin Yi was also a little confused. Sounding the gong to clear the way was a treatment only given to a big shot in the underworld. Nowadays, ghosts and gods with some status are having parties in the Guochenghuang Temple. Who knows who this big shot is?

Standing on the roadside with a group of ghosts, they looked at the sixteen armored soldiers holding spears in their hands to clear the way, and behind them were the gong-beating ghosts. Behind them are soldiers holding flags with a big word "Huo" written on them.

After the flag soldiers, four maids in ancient costumes floated forward. At the back is a large sedan chair carried by sixteen ghosts. The sedan chair is square, with dancing green gauze, and is majestic.

Looking at the word "Huo" on the flag, Lin Yi's heart moved and he couldn't help but tilt his neck to look at the owner of the sedan behind the green gauze.

It's a pity that the green gauze is completely covered and nothing can be seen.

The ghost people also began to whisper among themselves.

"Marshal Huo accompanied his wife to her parents' home again to visit her."

"Marshal Huo is such a doting wife."

"Hey, does Mrs. Huo have any relatives in the mortal world?"

"Mrs. Huo's parents are still in the mortal world. I have a cousin who works at Fuchenghuang Temple. I heard that more than ten years ago, Marshal Huo personally appeared at Fuchenghuang Temple to take Mrs. Huo, who died in a car accident, to the underworld. .”

"Is it true or false?"

"Why did I lie to you? I heard that Mrs. Huo was still very young back then, and her parents are still in the human world. But Mrs. Huo comes to the human world every New Year's Eve to visit her parents in the human world. Marshal Huo will also accompany him in person, Mrs. Huo is really lucky."

"Mrs. Huo died in a car accident at such a young age. Could it be..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the man glared at the other person displeased, "I thought so too at first, but my cousin said that when Mrs. Huo died in a car accident and was taken to the City God's Temple to report, Marshal Huo asked her, I Where is the amulet given to you, why don't you take it with you? Mrs. Huo explained that she forgot to put it on after changing clothes in the morning. If you were not there, Marshal Huo would have gone berserk on the spot."

"So, based on this, Marshal Huo should not do such a dishonorable thing."

At this time, Marshal Huo's team had gone far away, and the ghost people also dispersed.

Lin Yi stayed where he was, confused.

In previous years, he had also heard Sun Qinqin say that every New Year's Eve recently, Marshal Huo would bring Sun Miaomiao to the underworld to have a family reunion dinner with them.

Lin Yi missed it because he went to the Guochenghuang Temple every year.

After much thought, Lin Yi decided to go home and formally meet this ghostly handsome brother-in-law.
