The voice of the Emperor of Xudu floated leisurely in the darkness and darkness.

I was still so shocked that I couldn't react at all, and I could only listen blankly, as if I was listening to a distant ghost story that had nothing to do with me.

Emperor Xudu continued: "If you agree, you will belong directly to me and be directly responsible to me. Of course, there is a three-month internship. After the internship period, you are the only living human judge in the world, holding the book of life and death, holding the soul hook pen, judging life and death, and changing luck. Reward good and punish evil in the world for me. ”

"Of course, there are thousands of people in the world, and not everyone needs you to judge his life and death. Only when you encounter something wrong, or something that you feel is unreasonable, you can intervene. Even if you think that your colleague has a hateful face and hateful words, you can change his luck and let him go out and fall and eat, hehe. ”

Emperor Xudu opened his eyes and looked at me, and smiled. He probably thought I was too nervous and wanted to lighten the mood. But seriously, his joke wasn't funny at all, he thought he was funny.

Emperor Xudu continued: "You should be surprised, people have the world, ghosts have the underworld, yin and yang are separated, and each has its own place. Why would I think of looking for a human judge? There are four reasons for this. First, because we are understaffed in the underworld. Why is there a shortage of manpower? That, of course, is due to a lack of funding; Why is there not enough funding? That's because ......"

He suddenly sighed and paused before continuing: "It's because people in the world are too busy now. ”

I can't think of any connection between the busyness of people in the world and their lack of funds, but I don't dare to ask, and I don't want to ask.

Fortunately, Emperor Xudu continued to explain: "Everyone is busy making money, everyone is busy supporting their families, and everyone is working hard for a material life. Do you think, who else wants to support their ancestors now? When you go out in the morning, it is not yet dawn, and you are exhausted when you come back at night, or you only care about the lights and wine to enjoy your spare time, how can you still think of putting a stick of incense on your ancestors and burning a few pieces of paper? ”

He seemed to smile again, and his appearance seemed a little bitter: "The most important thing is that many people have left their hometowns and been outcast, and they rarely go home even for the New Year's holidays, and they can't even take care of themselves, let alone support their ancestors, right?" No one burns paper money to the underworld, and we in the underworld can't make our own money, so we naturally get poorer and poorer. ”

My heart moved inexplicably, as if I was being provoked by him.

Except for the Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival, I don't seem to think about burning some paper money for my parents' ancestors and putting a few pillars of incense; Even many times during the Qingming Festival, I made excuses for not going back.

The most common excuses are usually "too busy" or "too tired".

Emperor Xudu continued: "As for the second point...... In the last twenty or thirty years, the world has changed so much that it can be described as earth-shaking. The changes of the past 1,000 years combined, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with these two or three decades. Seriously, we in the underworld are really a little dazzled and caught off guard. To put it bluntly, it's just a little incomprehensible. So we need a window into the world to help us understand the current situation in the world. And you, that's the window. ”

The shock gradually passed, and my emotions had gradually subsided at this time, and I could finally listen to what the Emperor had to say calmly. Hearing Emperor Xudu say this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Not only were they caught off guard, but why wasn't I?

Want to be like back then? The smoke, the sunset, the shepherd boy who returns late, everything is so harmonious, quiet and comfortable; What does it look like today? The traffic is busy, the lights are bright, the steel is concrete, and if you want to find a cow, I'm afraid you have to go to the slaughterhouse to see it.

But do you want me to describe what happened over the years? I don't know where to start.

The Emperor also seemed to see my doubts, and then said, "Of course, we don't need you to say anything about the changes; You just have to do what you think and think. ”

As for the third reason, the current ghost judges in the underworld have been working for hundreds of thousands of years, and their concepts are outdated and backward, which has led to many unjust, false and wrongful cases. Therefore, we urgently need to introduce new blood, new ideas, and improve our concepts. ”

I sneered and said, "What's so good to change here, as long as you have a fair heart, don't be impartial, don't abuse your power, and handle it impartially, then it's okay?" No matter how the concept changes, what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, even after thousands of years, will right and wrong still be reversed? ”

Emperor Xudu pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point, just by what you say, you are qualified to be a judge." But...... Let me give you an example, it stands to reason that anyone who murders his husband, maliciously has an abortion, or who is addicted to gambling, does not honor his parents, or is unkind and unjust, will be sent to the seventh level of iceberg hell. But what do you think of it now? A lot of things seem to have become a matter of course. ”

I was silent, speechless.

"To take another example, prostitution, thieves and robbers, bullying the weak, abducting women and children and making false accusations against others, and those who forcibly have such relationships without their consent, are all destined to enter into the eighth hell. But...... It is said that what kind of 'law of the jungle' you are pursuing now is the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, only about victory or defeat, regardless of the means. Nowadays, I can't understand the judging standards in the world. So we need a new standard for enforcement, you know what I mean? ”

I don't speak.

Emperor Xudu didn't ask, and continued: "After you become a judge in the world, you can have absolute power, and we will definitely not interfere. Unless you deliberately reverse black and white, abuse your power and take revenge for personal gain and make a big mistake, then I will personally come forward to deal with it, and others have no power to deal with it, including the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Palaces of Yama. ”

At this point, he paused, as if waiting for my reaction.

I sat on the ground, my head bowed, and didn't give him any reaction.

Emperor Xudu had no choice but to continue to talk to himself: "Of course, as a law enforcer of the underworld, you will have a power that ordinary people do not have. For example, stealth, wall penetration, perspective, teleportation, and so on......"

My heart pounded, if I had these special powers......

Who knew that the Emperor continued: "Of course, as an intern, you can only choose one of these items. ”

I was inexplicably disappointed.

Emperor Xudu continued: "I have a mobile phone here ......"

This time, I'm sure I really saw it clearly, and Emperor Xudu did smile this time.

"You must be very strange that there are mobile phones in the underworld, right? Actually, there is nothing surprising, because the underworld receives a lot of ghosts from the human world every day, and now the one named Steve Jobs has come to our side. My mobile phone was designed by him himself, that is, it was specially designed for you, the judge of the world. What's special about this phone is that it will be implanted in your consciousness and can be controlled by your consciousness. ”

I pursed my lips and said sarcastically, "Really? I don't know if it's Apple Ten? Or Apple Twenty? ”

Emperor Xudu didn't seem to hear the irony in my words, and replied seriously: "In our place, it is no longer called apples, but cherries. Your mobile phone is called Cherry One. ”

"Cherry One?" I smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Jobs was also under your control, shouldn't he be under God's control?" ”

"Of course not, everyone is in our hands when they die." Emperor Xudu was very serious.

I suddenly remembered and said, "After talking for a long time, what about the fourth reason you said?" ”

"The fourth?"

"Didn't you say that there are four reasons why you want to find a living person to be the judge of the world?"

"Fourth...... This fourth ...... I haven't figured it out yet, hehe. ”

I didn't expect Emperor Xudu to be naughty, but I felt that he seemed to have some accident to hide.

But I don't want to ask.

Emperor Xudu continued: "After you take office......"

"Wait a minute...... I suddenly interrupted Emperor Xudu, "you still have a question that you forgot to ask me." ”

Emperor Xudu was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the problem?" ”

"You forgot to ask me if I would accept your appointment." I looked up at the lazy and personable man and said.

The man finally opened his eyes and looked at me with surprise: "Don't you agree?" ”
