Chapter 72: The Black Tide Undercurrent
During this period of time, all kinds of abnormalities continued to occur in the underworld, which made Zhaotai, who had always been accustomed to a comfortable life, wonder more than once that it was the two uninvited guests of Dongli and Qingyue who brought bad luck to the underworld, however, he was not the kind of mediocrity who would deceive himself, and when he calmed down and thought about it seriously, he could only pat his thigh while sighing secretly. He knows very well that the successive events in the underworld, including the dilemma of falling into all directions, are all because he has been in the position of the king of the Ming Hades for tens of thousands of years, but he rarely cares about political affairs.
Dongli and Qingyue were temporarily handed over to Jasmine to negotiate with the two, and by the way, they helped them find the missing Nanshan and their junior brothers and sisters, but Zhaotai always had a feeling in his heart that everything seemed to be connected by an invisible thread.
The power of space was used by Zhaotai one after another, and he was originally the most stingy with divine power, but now for some reason, he has become so generous.
Department of Water Affairs, Pillow Water House.
In the distance, Zhao Tai saw a familiar back, the man was talking to the white-haired director of the water affairs department, he paused slightly, did not immediately walk over, but the figure seemed to be more alert, quickly sensed the movement behind him, and turned around.
The director arched his back just now, looking extremely respectful, and then he also raised his head, and when he saw that it was Hades King Zhaotai, the expression on his face changed slightly, but he didn't look very surprised.
"Lord Hades, the minister hasn't sent someone to report yet, why did you come here in person......" The man was not tall, but his momentum was very strong, even in the face of Hades King Zhaotai, he only bowed slightly, and there was no respectful look on his face.
Zhaotai smiled and waved his hand, and said in a calm tone: "Qin Shangshu is exempt, I'm coming from the northeast block, huh...... Qin Shangshu, have you heard of some abnormalities in the underworld recently? ”
"Qin Shi is guilty, and he is learning about the situation of the water monster with the chief priest, as for the strange situation you said...... Forgive me for being stupid, are you talking about this report from the Department of Water Affairs? ”
Talking to Zhaotai, Qin Shi has always had this attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, of course, Zhaotai is also used to this way of communication between superiors and subordinates, and he still has some awe and respect for this Shangshu official of the Hades Palace.
"Oh...... Let's talk about the water monster. ”
Qin Shi nodded and was just about to speak, but Zhaotai stretched out his hand to block his mouth, while motioning for the old director to explain in detail.
The white-haired director's somewhat chaotic eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to narrate gratefully.
"Four boatmen saw the monster, which was said to be large and ugly, and ...... It also emits an unbearable stench...... In order to find out the situation, yesterday Xia Guan also personally boarded the boat to cruise, in fact, Xia Guan is not very worried about the water monster, no matter what kind of monster, the resentment at the bottom of the river will eventually swallow it, but Xia Guan was in the cruise, but accidentally found ......"
"The minister is discussing this matter with the chief, and the minister's opinion is basically the same as that of the chief," Qin Shi immediately interrupted the white-haired director's narration, and stopped the director from continuing to speak with his eyes, he said with a smile: "No matter how powerful a monster is, choosing the Agron River as his habitat is simply self-defeating, and the minister thinks, it won't be long before that monster will definitely be wiped out by the resentment at the bottom of the river...... Elder Sir., I'm afraid that as you get older, you have to report such a small matter directly to Lord Hades? Are you still bothering Lord Hades to run this trip in person? ”
The white-haired chief's lips trembled twice, and there was a decisive light in his eyes, he took a deep breath, knelt down at once, and shouted, "Lord Hades! Of course, Xia Guan knew that it was not the water monster that was terrifying, but the black tide at the bottom of the river that the minister found when he was cruising yesterday! ”
"Kuroshio?" Zhaotai was startled, and immediately looked at the Shangshu official who was a little unwilling to let the white-haired director speak, and asked in a stern tone, "Do you know about this?" ”
A look of surprise appeared on Qin Shi's face in a timely manner, and he shook his head and hurriedly said, "Of course the minister knows now, Lord Yao!" Why didn't you mention it? ”
The white-haired director who was named smiled bitterly and saluted, but he was already like a mirror in his heart - from yesterday to now, he had already reported three urgent reports to the Hades Palace, Qin Shi was a scholar, and it was too late to delay until this time, and he interrupted his narration bluntly just now...... Yao She was a little glad that this time he took the risk of overstepping his authority and invited the Hades directly, and he was even more glad that today's Hades Lord was so diligent and could be on call.
Because of the large number of grievances at the bottom of the Aglon River, the grievances that gather every once in a while will form a wave of grievances, but this tide will not bring any lethality, as long as a few souls with higher soul power form a grievance relief array, it can be quickly resolved; However, the Black Tide is a completely different existence, if it is not resolved for a long time, or it is not completely resolved, so that the tide of resentment will sublimate and evolve, and it will gradually transform into a very powerful and widespread black tide of resentment, which is a catastrophe in the underworld - the Black Tide.
"Yao She, didn't there be a warning sign of the Black Tide in the past? Why so suddenly? Zhaotai was suspicious in his heart, and his eyes drifted to the face of the Shangshu official on the side again.
"There is no warning sign, not at all, Xia Guan generally personally cruises once a week, it has never been interrupted for thousands of years, this time the black tide came suddenly, Xia Guan did not dare to speculate, I only ask Lord Hades to take this matter to heart and find a way to resolve it as soon as possible......
"Master Yao...... If this matter is investigated, I am afraid that you will not escape the crime of dereliction of duty, right? The warning omen of the Kuroshio Tide is a vision that even a three-year-old child can understand in the entire upper and lower underworlds, how can you say that it has not appeared, it has not appeared? Qin Shi stared at Yao She's eyes and tried his best to convey a fierce aura to him.
Yao She's age is indeed old, and at this moment, he was a little overwhelmed, and he fell to his knees with a thud, and cried out a little abruptly: "Lord Hades! The lower official pleaded guilty! It's the lower officials who don't notice it for a while! ”
"Lord Yao, you get up first, get up and talk first......" Zhaotai made a gesture to help Yao She, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a gloomy smile flashing on Qin Shi's face.
