Chapter 32: A New Mission
By the time you wake up from a hangover, it's already noon the next day.
Don't sit up and rub your head, feel like your head has exploded.
"Never drink again!" Stimulated by pain, he made an empty vow casually.
In his last impression, he seemed to have drunk too much last night, and was sent back by 1735 and a drinking friend who he had just met last night and didn't even know his name.
The two of them were also drunk like mud, and they were also staggering when they helped themselves.
The three of them obviously walked back, but it was like taking a boat, one step to the left, one step to the right, one step forward, one step back.
It always felt like something ridiculous had happened yesterday, but he couldn't remember it, and his brain seemed to be preventing him from remembering yesterday.
He got out of bed with his head in his hands, and looked up at the beast-faced lock hanging in the room.
This beast face lock is a good thing to avoid seeing after coming to the reincarnation hall, because the sun and moon in the reincarnation hall are always in the sky, so no matter day or night, the outside is always bright.
Because of this, the sundial that is usually used to keep track of time could not be used, so the people here invented this thing.
It is shaped like an image of a vicious beast devouring the sky, with twelve sacred beasts in a circle around the beast's head, representing the twelve hours of the day.
With the passage of time, the turntable on this lock will automatically rotate, and the big mouth of the evil beast is directed at whichever holy beast is the hour. The tongue of the evil beast sticks out of its mouth, pointing to the scale between the holy beasts, which scale represents the time and the moment.
Like the time to wake up, it is a quarter of noon.
Seeing the time, I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately I didn't miss the time.
There is no rest time for the soul of life and death, and after the handover of the previous task, the next task must be collected quickly.
Before going to dinner last night, he and 1735 had already sent the souls to be captured this time to a special office, so today they have to get a new soul collection mission.
Last night, I deliberately checked it before the soul, and found that the black and white butterfly mark on the little girl's body had disappeared long ago.
According to yesterday's words, it is estimated that it should have disappeared when he was in the inn.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I put an end to a simple wash, and ran to the next house and knocked on the door of 1735.
"1735, wake up, it's too late!"
"What are you going to eat? Whose table to eat? 1735 rubbed his eyes and opened the door, apparently unclear.
"Whose table is it to eat? If you rub it for a while, you'll eat both of us! "Don't drag 1735 and run out:" Go there at three o'clock in the afternoon to get the task, it's too late to go!" ”
"Three o'clock in the afternoon? Whose head is this going to behead,, don't drag it, I haven't washed my face yet..."
"Wash your fart! I shouldn't have gone drinking with you yesterday, okay, let's go! ”
"I knew that this time was quack, ahhh!!hh 1735 was dragged away, half of his body flying in the air, screaming and worrying if he would be worn away by the stones.
But fortunately, he only ran for a while and put him down, and the two hurried to the Soul Collecting Palace.
When the two of them ran in, the beast face lock of the Soul Collecting Hall happened to be pointed at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Luckily I wasn't late.
The two of them held their knees and gasped for air, completely looking like they were going to die.
1735 didn't clean it up at all, and it was just a simple tidy up, so the two people now have disheveled hair and messy clothes, looking like they just escaped from the wilderness.
In short, you have to be as embarrassed as you are.
Even the Soul Venerable who distributed the tasks in the hall couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly turned his head and avoided the two second-hand goods.
"1647, Lost Village, Three Ghosts!"
"1342, Qiankun Array, one will die!"
"1458, 1542, Hongliupo, twelve dead in vain!"
"1739, 1735, Fortress of Horror, Four Devils!"
"Call us two, call us two!" 1735 urged him to put an end to the task list: "You go, I'll rest, I really can't run." ”
"You..." It took a long time for him to stand up and walk forward to get the task list: "It's just a lack of practice, and it's not good to run so many steps." ”
"Blow, blow, I'll watch you blow!" When 1735 was lying on the ground panting, he didn't forget to taunt him: "You are so capable, don't shake your legs." ”
"I... I did it on purpose, it's a whole new way to exercise, you know the. ”
In fact, it is indeed pretended, whether it is based on his own cultivation or the strength of his jailer, it is impossible for his legs to tremble even if he doesn't use kung fu.
Just kidding, when I was a child, in order to practice light skills, I ran in the mountains for a day. If you dare to stop, the village chief's big foot is estimated to be kicked on his body immediately, how can his legs tremble if he runs for so long now.
It's rare for me to tell the truth, and I don't believe it in 1735.
But then again, if he really believed himself, he would be in trouble.
Thinking like this, he lifted 1735 up from the ground, and the two of them sat on a stool in the waiting area of the hall and watched the character introduction.
"Isn't it? For such a mission, they sent us two people from the peak of the Spirit Soldier Realm? Is Command's brain watered? As soon as he glanced at the mission introduction, 1735 shouted.
"It's not just water, it's gutter oil." Putting an end to it also followed with a complaint.
In the past, the missions of 1739 and 1735 were all carried out alone, and generally if the tasks were not too difficult, the upper authorities would not send two life and death spirits over.
Now that I have watched the task of the two of them again, I suddenly understand that this mission deliberately ordered me to team up with 1735.
The news from the headquarters is still spiritual enough, 1735 broke through to the peak of the spirit soldier yesterday, and he also released a little suppression of his own cultivation yesterday, raising his realm to the peak of the spirit soldier.
It's been less than a night, and the people in the command are like the dog that smells meat, and they can't wait to raise the task that the two of them can take up a notch.
This place is very fierce...
According to the mission description, this Horror Castle is located in the mountains and forests of the southern part of the Divine Continent.
It would be fine if it was close to a few nearby larger towns, but this Horror Fortress is isolated from the rest of the world, existing in the deepest forests.
You must know that the depths of the dense forest are not only long and difficult, but there are many obstacles, on the contrary, these are the points that need to be taken care of the least.
The most important thing to guard against in the dense forest are the beasts that have opened their minds and even the monsters that are close to transforming in the forest.
It is even rumored that there are countless demon kings and demon emperors in the southern jungle, and there are even a few demon immortals who are about to soar into the sky.
Moreover, these demons have never dealt with the Reincarnation Palace.
Although death is treated equally, and the souls of youkai are also under the jurisdiction of the reincarnation point after death, these monsters have a problem of their own.
This habit was originally passed down from the tiger demon, which has a long tradition of taking in souls to serve as ghosts for itself.
Later, some lazy monsters saw the tiger's actions and moved their own minds, so they also found a lot of ghosts to be their subordinates.
They robbed it like this, the tiger was not happy, there are only so many humans who strayed into this place in total, you all took them away, what do we use?
That's why the tigers began to grab souls from those monsters, and even if I don't need them, I'm going to hoard them, at least I can't let you all take them.
Those monsters also have tempers, and if you don't give it, you won't give it? Why? The forest is not opened by your tigers, whoever gets it counts!
As soon as they robbed it like this, the souls in the forest directly became scarce.
The most important thing is that their competition has also attracted the attention of other monsters, and these monsters don't care much about it, they have to do it themselves, why do they have to use such a weak human being?
But as soon as they visit the caves where there are ghosts once, they will change their minds.
On the one hand, I was thinking: What does that product show me? It's all demon kings, can I catch him? I'll show him a few tomorrow!
The other is that this way is really labor-saving, and you don't have to do anything yourself, so it's better for me to find a few.
All living things have inferior roots, so why work if you can lie down comfortably?
So all of a sudden, the entire weak tribe in the dense forest was wiped out by the monsters, and only a few powerful human cities were left to survive by huddling together for warmth.
After such a fuss, the monsters are indeed satisfied, but the reincarnation hall can't stand it.
All the souls in the world belong to our reincarnation hall, do you say you want it? Why?
In the past, the Tiger Clan said that this was the tradition of their race, so we put up with it, after all, they didn't want much, and not the whole clan wanted it, so I gave them a face in the Hall of Reincarnation.
But what are you going to do now?
The whole southern jungle is yours? Even a pack of foxes, rabbits, and weasels can ride on our heads and?
What kind of thing are you!
Is it true that my reincarnation hall is muddy? Even if it's muddy, the clay man still has three points of fire, and it's not as bullying as you are.
Therefore, the Reincarnation Hall was furious, and at that time, it opened the entrances and exits of the Reincarnation Hall in all the southern dense forests, and dispatched countless life and death spirits to collect souls.
The demon clan was also unwilling to give up the happy life that had just arrived as soon as it was threatened, so it also organized people to resist.
The result of the rebellion was that the Reincarnation Hall carried out a large-scale massacre of the demon tribes that participated in the attack on the Reincarnation Palace, not only recovering all the souls imprisoned by the demon clan, but also taking away the souls of many demon clans.
After the fiasco of the demon clan, even the luck was taken away by the reincarnation hall, so he could only make peace with the reincarnation hall, and swore that all the demon clans in the world would never use ghosts again, and the demon clan would never violate the fundamental interests of the reincarnation hall from generation to generation.
Of course, after the demon clan lost, they must be dissatisfied with the Reincarnation Palace, and they even have a bad attitude towards all the living and death spirits.
Although you don't say that you can make a move when you meet, at least you can't give a good face, and you will even secretly stumble behind your back.
In short, as long as the people of the reincarnation hall are deflated, they will be happy.
This is a difficult point to go to the Fortress of Horror, if the two of them encounter the demon clan, especially some daring demon clans, then judging from the strength of the two of them, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
On the other hand, the danger comes from the place itself.
