The spirit world, also known as the underworld or the ghost world, is the common place for all beings in the six realms after their falls, but there are many powerful beings who can avoid or reverse this process, and even break in and take away the relatives and friends they want to rescue.

――――

Somewhere in the spirit realm, there was the ruins of an old building that looked like a castle or fortress, and although it had been abandoned for a long time, the main part was still almost intact, and four figures stood in front of its open gate.

"Ah......h

One of the hooded girls let out a low exclamation.

"What did you find, Yaoyao?"

The boy with the blue cloak on her shoulder behind her immediately turned to ask, seemingly convinced of what the girl would find.

"As we speculated, the spiritual power fluctuations of 'time' and 'emptiness' were greatly enhanced, just like when they were in the 'temple' and 'attic'."

The girl said, looking at the ruins.

"Really? Sure enough, I can't pass as easily as before, so get ready to fight. ”

On the other side of the boy, a tall girl shook something off her hand.

"That is, there are a lot of ghosts of unknown bodies wandering inside? It's really boring. ”

The last man, a very tall young man with flaming hair and eyebrows, was poking his weapon into the ground in disappointment.

"Although it is a relatively poor result, it is finally expected, everyone be careful of the enemy's sneak attack."

The cloaked boy raised his arms and walked into the entrance of the ruins first, and the other three followed closely after a brief response.

――――

In the depths of the ruins, the four of them stopped again, not because some monster was blocking the way, but because a huge and deep hole appeared at the end of the road in front of them, and there was an ominous red light shining from below.

"Hmm......"

The hooded girl covered her forehead a little painfully.

"Yaoyao? You okay? ”

The tall girl took her into her arms and prevented the girl from continuing to look at the big pit.

"Cut, where did you figure out how to dig a big pit in the ghost world? The ceiling of the divine realm? ”

The tall young man scoffed at the big pit in front of him.

"It's fine, just a little bit of a reminder of the past...... Let's move on. ”

The hooded girl left the arms of the tall girl and set her eyes on the "winding mountain road" down the big pit.

"That is, there are all those guys who are excessive, and you don't have to show mercy?"

The tall girl sorted out the weapons in her hands, and her words unconsciously revealed a hint of murder.

"You two have a good momentum, but leave the work of charging into battle to us, no matter what happened before, just what they did in the spirit world is enough for me to shoot each of them a hundred times."

The tall red-haired youth took the weapon out of the ground and made a striking motion.

"Everyone, we have only one mission," the cloaked boy saw that everyone had already come up with a decisive battle posture, so he nodded to the people around him: "For the people who help us open the way, for the people who are waiting for us to return, let us crush the evil below and completely destroy any of their plans!" ”

"Although I'm used to you saying some hot-blooded idiot lines every time, it's still easy to get infected, so let's make a big fuss!"

The tall young man slung his weapon over his shoulder and let out a snort, cheering luck.

"Understand, I will provide support with all my might, and no enemy can sneak up on us."

The girl adjusted the weapon in her hand and watched cautiously at the red light coming out of the hole.

"Ready, the 'ring' has been unfurled."

The girl pressed her hood and looked at the cloaked boy silently.

"Then let's go, the Spirit Realm Hunting Special Operation, Wei Yi and the other three Grim Reapers, in order to break through the 'Sleeping Dragon' stronghold, carry out a breakthrough operation!"

After the cloaked boy finished speaking imposingly, he walked to the big pit in front of him first.

"Uh-huh......"

As if awakened by a nightmare, Wei Yi, who was leaning against the car window, shook his body and opened his eyes.

When the young man was napping, whether it was short hair or a slightly round face, it was very soft, and the eyebrows that were slightly thicker than ordinary people even revealed a little festive, but when he opened his eyes, the pupils that seemed to be dark as if he wanted to suck in all the light suddenly made the whole person's temperament change instantly, as if he had changed from a gentle little brother next door to a warrior who "although thousands of people are going to do it".

Rows of seats facing each other and small tables in between, translucent windows and the rapidly receding scenery outside, and a slight "pop" sound every once in a while.

This is...... Well, yes, I said goodbye to my uncles and got on the Spirit Trap train...... Afterwards......

As he began to look around, the memories of his bedtime days revived little by little, and the fierce momentum quickly disappeared.

"Young man, are you alright?"

Older Women's Voices...... It must have been the pair of old men sitting across from him before.

Wei Yi pinched the corners of his forehead, sat upright, and found that it was indeed the kind old woman who was sitting opposite him, the two old men were dressed more elegantly, their faces were kind, and they were looking at him with concern.

"You've been restless since you fell asleep, what's wrong with you?"

It's not uncomfortable...... It seems to be a dream, but I can't remember the content.

"Thank you for your concern, but I should just be a little sleepy because of the water and soil, and I seem to have strange dreams."

Wei Yi has always been very polite to the elderly, and the other party does care about him, so he responded with a smile.

"Hehehe-hehe-did you dream of being chased by many female dolls?"

Compared to the kind old woman, the old man next to her seems to like to be more funny, blinking and asking questions.

"Uh, no, I can't remember, but it shouldn't be like that."

There is a saying that the elders give, don't dare to resign, if people have to joke with you, there is no way at all, Wei Yi can't make other expressions except for maintaining a stiff smile.

"Dead old man, don't make such jokes about young people—young man, do you want to eat something and sober up?"

The old woman bumped into the old man, then took out a food box and placed it on the small table, recommending it to Wei Yi with some strange pride.

"Well, thank you, then you're welcome."

Wei Yi didn't shirk, and while thanking him, he took the food box and the chopsticks handed over by the old woman.

The bottom of the food box was covered with ice, and several rows of crystal clear balls were neatly stacked on it, and it seemed to emit a faint blue light.

It seems to be made of fish mixed with some spices...... But this luster ...... Well, I see.

"Thanks to the hospitality, it was delicious, and I was really in good spirits—take the liberty of asking, you were from the spirit realm, right?"

Wei Yi only ate three or five balls, then pushed the food box back, and then looked at the old woman and asked.

"Oh? Why do you ask? ”

The old woman smiled slightly, took the food box and chopsticks and put them away, and looked very interested.

"Because the material of this ball is the 'cold light tuna' in a tributary of the River Styx, which is very remote in the spirit world, the tracking, catching and cooking skills of this fish are not something that tourists who come and go can master."

And those who can master these techniques in their entirety will not be ordinary spirit dwellers—he thought about it, but omitted the last sentence.

"Hehehe, if you can know these things, you can do the same with the little doll, this dress, plus a keen sense of discrimination...... Could it be that you're going to join the 'Underworld Catcher'? ”

The old woman smiled silently, but the old man became interested, and looked at Wei Yi without blinking.

Clothes? Wei Yi looked down at himself, the sturdy short shirt in white clothes and black pants, the narrow brown leather boots, and the white cloak on the side, were just the standard clothes of the Grim Reaper.

"It's been seen, in fact, I passed the death exam, and I'm about to report, maybe there will be work to trouble you in the future."

He rubbed his head and smiled at the two old men.

"Hehehe...... It's been a long time since we've been back to visit each other, but I didn't expect the spirit world to have changed so much—oh, it's already here. ”

The old man stroked his beard and was about to say something, when his eyes were immediately attracted by the scenery outside the car window.

Under the light of the four-leaf clover sun, in front of the machine train, a vast complex of buildings, the "afterlife" of the underworld, has appeared on the horizon.
