"Enlightened...... Hmph, from the moment you took office, I knew that a battle with you would come sooner or later, Hades. ”

Si You snorted disdainfully and raised his head to meet the girl's gaze.

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that the lord of the Netherworld would use such a despicable means as a sneak attack, don't you even dare to fight me head-on!?"

"Do you have the qualifications to do so?" the girl said with a blank face, putting back on the demon mask in her hand.

"If you weren't so ambitious, you wouldn't have fallen to this point, this is your cocoon, Si You. For so many years, you have been on the Netherworld Border, and your 'Nine Springs Walled City' has always become an outlaw place, and this history should come to an end. ”

"Hehe, whether I'm in the Nine Springs Walled City or not, your 'law' in the underworld has never been in charge of this, has it?" Si You stared at the demon mask deadly, and there was no fear on his face after the defeat.

"For thousands of years, those beings who could not cross the Lethe River and enter the reincarnation were abandoned by you in the Netherworld Border, becoming sad wandering spirits, until I came to the Netherworld and established the 'Nine Springs Walled City' that they had a new home, and now...... It is hypocritical for you to remove their last home with your own hands in the name of grandeur and to return them to a state of homelessness!"

"Speaking of hypocrisy, what about yourself?" Hades looked up at the puppet undead in the sky. "Turning your own 'subjects' into unconscious props, is this the 'destination' you give them?"

Hades said, turning his head to look at Si You again.

"In the end, we are just acting from our own standpoints, and the reasons you call are just justifying your actions. And in terms of the end result, you lose, and that's the reality. ”

"Hmph, the king is defeated, since I have fallen into your hands, if I want to kill you, I will never give in to you!" Si You sneered, his dark blue pupils glowing with a fierce cold light. "Even if my 'Nine Springs Walled City' is destroyed, those wandering spirits will not disappear, hehe...... Look at Hades, the bane you have planted for yourself, even without me, there will be a new force rising again!"

"For you who have sinned deeply, I will definitely give you the punishment you deserve, but for the 'Nine Springs Walled City'...... I didn't say it was going to end there. ”

Hades shook his head, then turned his gaze to the toad ghost who was hiding to the side and peeking at him, and raised his hand slightly.

"Frog Frog, come forward. ”

"Ah...... Yes, yes, Hades, ......."

Hearing that the king of Hades actually called his name, Frog Frog suddenly panicked, and hurriedly ran forward with the spirit banner in his arms, and knelt in front of the girl with a "poof", and saluted respectfully.

"Cluck...... What are your commands?"

"You've done a great job this time, Frog Moon. Hades looked at the toad ghost below and said slowly. "Now, I have a new assignment for you. ”

"New, new missions?"

"I want you to take over this 'Nine Springs Walled City'. ”

"What??quack...... This, this ......" Frog was frightened, and his big green eyes glared at the boss. "Hades, you...... You're not kidding, are you? Frog Strider is just an intern...... It's not even a formal ghost, and if I want to manage such a large area, I can't do it......!

"You're officially a ghost now, and I'll allow you to turn positive. Hades said. "For official ghosts, there will be a designated jurisdiction, and your jurisdiction is the 'Nine Springs Walled City' on the border of the Netherworld. ”

"But, but ......"

"You have single-handedly suppressed the guards of the Imperial City before, with your ability, I believe you can do it, what you lack is only self-confidence. Hades said, looking at the dodging inhabitants of the walled buildings in the distance.

"Since they live in the Netherworld, they should be the people of our underworld, and we have indeed neglected them for thousands of years...... It's not a bad thing to keep such a home for a wandering soul on the other side of Lethe. Of course, I will send ghost soldiers to be stationed here, and Black and White Impermanence will also assist you in ruling the "Nine Springs Walled City" and cleaning up the aftermath of the puppet undead. Be confident, and trust that you won't let me down. ”

"Frog, frog stant knows ......" seemed to be greatly encouraged, and Frog Stant's originally hesitant eyes suddenly became firm. "Frog Stud will never live up to the expectations of Lord Hades!!"

"That's right. Hades nodded, and looked at Si You next to him with an angry face. "As for you...... Maybe 'Destroying the Body and Spirit' is the best destination for you. ”

"Hmph, I'd rather do it than give in to you, do it!"

Si You's face was awe-inspiring, and the atmosphere was tense for a while, but at this time, the glutton, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly opened his mouth:

"Hey~*Why is the smell so strong, isn't it better to let this guy exert some residual heat than any 'body and spirit'?"

“…… Oh, what do you mean by that?" said Hades, glancing at his gluttonous eyes.

"This guy has been operating in the 'Jiuquan Walled City' for so many years, and his forces are not something that a toad can suppress, rather than letting his death stimulate those subordinates to rebel, it is better to keep him as the 'Lady of the Village', so that those subordinates will not dare to mess around~"

"Gluttony, you ......!" Seeing that the red-haired man asked him to be the so-called "Lady of the Village" in a weird manner, Si You's face turned green with anger.

"Huh...... Interesting. Hades groaned, seemingly unexpectedly interested in the gluttonous suggestion. "You have a point, maybe it's a good choice to imprison him...... Well, I changed my mind. Someone came, and escorted Si You to the dungeon of Hades. ”

"I've finally saved my life, so thank me. Gluttony looked at Si You, who was carried by the ghost soldiers, and said lightly.

“…… Don't think I'm going to appreciate it, gluttony. Si You gritted his teeth and said. "If I ever regain my freedom, I will settle accounts with you with the grievances of more than a hundred years ago, wait. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

Gluttony smiled and waved his hand, and Si You's figure also faded away and disappeared under the escort of the ghost soldiers.

"You and Si You...... Did anything happen before?" Jiang Yao, who had witnessed all this before, looked at the back of Si You's departure, then turned his head to look at the red-haired man beside him, and asked tentatively.

"Hehe......" Gluttony smiled noncommittally and did not answer. I saw him turn his head and glance faintly at the distant netherworld on the other side of the Lethe River, there seemed to be some emotion in his pupils that were fleeting, and when he looked back again, his gaze directly skipped over Jiang Yao and fell on the masked girl on the dome.

"Now that the dust has settled, it's time to send us back to the Realm, right? Hades. ”

"Why don't I want to send you away sooner? The turmoil more than a hundred years ago was enough once. Hades said indifferently, stretching out his finger to Tao Tao and Jiang Yao, and the silver-white breeze began to swirl around the two of them.

"Hopefully I won't see you in the Netherworld again...... Gourmand. ”

"Heh, who's ...... for sure?"

Gluttonous chuckles drifted in the air with the silver-white whirlwind in full bloom, and by the time the whirlwind passed, the figures of Gluttony and Jiang Yao had dissipated into the dark purple nether sky.

"Lord Hades, the 'living dead'...... Are you really going to let him go? His 'real body' is probably ......?"

Hei Wuchang watched Jiang Yao's disappearing figure, and stopped talking.

"It was because I knew who he was that I would let him go. Hades muttered, slowly raising his head, looking at the magnificent golden river in the distance, the slightly raised arc of his mouth hidden behind the demon mask.

"Things are getting more and more interesting, so let me see where you go from here, and what you'll choose...... Jiang Yao. ”

----------------------------------------------

『…… Dear passengers, passengers on flight AL7682 bound for London are requested to proceed to Gate C92 immediately to board their flights......

The airport's boarding announcements kept looping, and in the corner of the empty departure room, a young man in sunglasses was leaning back on his seat with his legs crossed, boredly scrolling through his phone.

"Ye Han Ye Han, Xiao Yao has returned to China, I have pulled a group for us, and it will be convenient to contact us in the future~"

Zhou Wentao's avatar appeared in the group chat interface.

"Oh, when did you come back from your trip?"

Zhou Wenhai's dialog box followed.

"Uh...... Just two days ago......" This time it was Jiang Yao who spoke. "Speaking of which, Ye Han, we haven't seen each other for many years, when did you come back?"

"Xiaoyao, you're stupid to travel, aren't you? Didn't you just meet him when we had a drinking party at our house a while ago?" Zhou Wentao jumped out and counted.

"Huh, what kind of party?"

"Aren't you~~ Forget about it so quickly??"

……

Ye Han's sunglasses reflected the tumbling group chat messages, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, it seems that this is the real Mr. Jiang......

Halfway through the editing, Ye Han's hand suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, he finally deleted the words in the edit box one by one.

"Alas......" Ye Han sighed softly, looked up at the clock in the waiting room, and then turned off the mobile phone and put it back in his pocket.

"Why, didn't you tell them you were leaving?"

A white-haired man appeared beside Ye Han at some point.

"They'll always know. Ye Han shook his head and leaned back in his chair, although he was a little more tired than before, his face seemed to be less nervous. "How's it going?"

"I sent some key evidence to Lingyutai according to your arrangement, and they also lived up to their expectations to find out what Ye Wu did behind his back. Now that Ye Wu has been arrested, I am afraid that he will face more than just prison. Zero Yuan said. "As for the Ye family's property...... I also disposed of a portion as you commanded, as compensation was made for those whom your father had hurt. ”

"Really...... That's good. Ye Han said, took off his sunglasses, and moved his gaze to Ling Yuan's right hand, only to see that under the long-sleeved jacket, a silver metal prosthetic was reflecting a faint glimmer in the light.

"This arm...... Is it still easy to use?" Ye Han's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of guilt.

"It's a good fit, and it's a shame that you can find this rare demonic prosthetic. ”

Ling Yuan looked at Ye Han's expression, paused, and then added: "Of course, even if you don't use a prosthetic leg, with the ability of our clan, as long as you cultivate for a few years, your arm can still grow again." ”

"This is the ...... I owe you," Ye Han whispered. "If it weren't for protecting me, you wouldn't be ......"

"No, if I owe it, it should be me, because my sister caused so much to happen to your family, and in the end, she escaped......" Zero Abyss shook his head, casting his eyes on the quiet blue sky outside the window of the waiting room.

He remembered the day of the decisive battle, the black shadow that took everyone unprepared to pick up Zero Spring, and many unsolved mysteries could not be investigated with the disappearance of Zero Spring, which was also the last thing he could let go of now.

"I will definitely find her, not only to avoid the recurrence of the Ye family's tragedy, but also to find my gentle and kind sister back then. Ling Yuan said, looking at Ye Han again. "And you should also say goodbye to the past and start a new journey, I may not be able to assist you in the future, and the future of the Ye family will depend on you. ”

"I will. Ye Han stood up and walked to the exit of the waiting room in the last announcement urging boarding.

"Take care, Zero. ”

"Take care, Ye Han. ”

The roar of the plane taking off pierced the sky, and the white-haired man disappeared into the waiting room as he watched the plane go away.
