OBS Chapter 425: Reception Work
Chapter 425: Reception Work
I didn't do any work the whole night.
Su Yirou followed behind the Black and White Impermanence and almost toured the entire underworld.
She memorized every forbidden area and dangerous place.
"Okay, it's almost time. Normally you get off work at six in the morning, but sometimes you'll be late due to work." Hei Wuchang said in a cold tone:
"Walk into that teleportation array, and your soul will be able to return to the world of the living. We will be waiting for you here at 11 o'clock tonight. We will teach you the specific content of the work tomorrow. Welcome!"
"Okay...sorry for the trouble." Su Yirou said, and stepped into the teleportation array.
With a flash of light, her soul returned to her body in the world of the living. She slowly opened her eyes, and the morning sun shone through the window onto her face, a little blinding.
"Yirou, you're awake!" She heard her parents' anxious and surprised voices. She turned around and saw her parents standing by the bed with worried faces, their eyes bloodshot, obviously they hadn't slept all night.
Her mother held her hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Yirou...are you...okay?" Her father also came over, his eyes full of concern and worry.
Su Yirou sat up, stretched, and smiled casually: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. The Black and White Impermanence are very kind to me and very enthusiastic!"
"Tonight, I was taken to the underworld to familiarize myself with the environment. It's not dangerous, don't worry!"
Su Yirou held her mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't be nervous. This underworld is really not as bad as we imagined."
My father looked solemn and said in a serious tone: "Yirou, please don't hide it from us. Is there really no danger?"
Su Yirou quickly shook her head: "Dad, there's really no danger."
The mother was still worried: "Then...are you tired? Wouldn't it be too harmful to your body if you don't sleep all night?"
Su Yirou stretched her body and said with a smile, "Mom, I was worried about this problem, but when I woke up, I felt so comfortable, not tired at all. And my mental state is particularly good!"
After hearing what Su Yirou said, her mother looked her up and down doubtfully: "Really?"
Su Yirou nodded seriously: "Mom, it's true! Look at my face, isn't it rosier than before? And, let me tell you, being a ghost messenger not only didn't hurt me, but also brought me a lot of benefits."
The father couldn't help but ask, "What are the benefits? Tell us quickly, daughter."
Su Yirou said enthusiastically: "First of all, every time I complete a task assigned by the underworld, I will accumulate Yin De. This Yin De cannot be seen or touched, but it is of great help to my luck."
"Also, Bai Wuchang told me that my physical fitness will get better and better. In the past, I just lacked exercise and would be out of breath after running a few steps."
"Now I feel full of strength and energy. I also find that my senses become sharper after waking up. My vision and hearing are much better than before."
As the parents listened to Su Yirou's incessant talk, the worry on their faces gradually faded away, replaced by a bit of surprise.
The mother touched Su Yirou's face and said, "I didn't expect this job as a ghost messenger to have such benefits. As long as you are not hurt, I will feel relieved."
My father also said: "But you still have to be careful. After all, it is a matter of the underworld. You can't be careless."
Su Yirou responded obediently: "Dad, Mom, I know. Don't worry too much."
The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Su Yirou arrived at the underworld on time, and the Black and White Impermanence had already been waiting there.
Hei Wuchang still had a serious look on his face, "Little girl, today we will officially start working!"
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just follow us."
They brought Su Yirou to the human world. On the way, Bai Wuchang explained, "Little girl, there are many ghost messengers like you in the underworld."
"In the future, there will be special staff to assign you tasks. You just need to follow the instructions of the mark. It's very simple..."
"Okay...I get it!" Su Yirou was not as reserved today as she was yesterday, and she smiled a lot more than yesterday.
After a while, they arrived in front of a dilapidated house, which was filled with a dull atmosphere. On the bed lay an old lady, who was dying, her breathing was weak and her face was as pale as paper.
At this time, the old lady's family sat around her bed. An old man with gray hair held the old lady's hand tightly, his eyes red: "Your mother probably won't survive tonight, her forehead wrinkles have appeared..."
"It's better to leave, so I don't have to suffer anymore..."
The old lady's son stood aside, distraught: "I'll go call the third aunt and the others to come over and help my mother put on clothes."
When Su Yirou saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable sense of heaviness surged into her heart. She couldn't help but think about how sad her family must be when the old lady was about to leave the world.
Hei Wuchang said expressionlessly: "Girl, look carefully, this is the soul we want to guide."
Bai Wuchang said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is a process that everyone has to go through."
Hei Wuchang formed seals with his hands, and a faint light shot out from his hands, covering the old lady's body. The old lady's soul slowly rose from her body, her eyes confused and frightened.
Bai Wuchang stepped forward and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, old man. Come with us and go to where we should go."
After hearing this, the old lady's soul gradually calmed down.
Bai Wuchang turned to Su Yirou and said, "Next, you have to use the soul-guiding flag to gently guide her. Remember, your movements should be gentle and your tone should be kind."
Su Yirou took a deep breath, picked up the soul-guiding banner with trembling hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma, come with me."
While guiding the old lady's soul, Su Yirou's hands were shaking slightly.
She kept thinking whether what she did was right or too cruel, but she also understood that this was her duty.
When they successfully brought out the old lady's soul, Su Yirou's mood was still very complicated.
Hei Wuchang seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Girl, life and death are determined by fate. We are just fulfilling our duties to ensure that these souls can transition smoothly."
Su Yirou nodded silently. She knew that she needed time to adapt to and accept all this.
Bai Wuchang comforted him: "It will be hard to bear for the first time, but you will understand after a long time, and this is also a kind of relief."
Su Yirou bit her lip and said firmly: "I will try my best to do it well."
Next, they continued to receive more than a dozen souls, and Su Yirou gradually became calm and skilled.
At nearly five o'clock in the morning, Hei Wuchang said indifferently: "Okay, now take them back to the underworld. I will teach you the follow-up work!"
Bai Wuchang then said: "Just remember the following points I said."
"Calm the soul: The soul that has just left the body may be in a state of panic, confusion or reluctance. We need to calm the soul's emotions, let it calm down, and accept the fact of its death."
"So, I just told you, be gentle with your movements and kind with your tone."
“Guide the soul to the underworld: According to the predetermined route, lead the soul to the corresponding area of the underworld, such as the place of judgment or the temporary place of placement.”
"If the Judgment House is too busy, staff will tell you to take them to a temporary place of placement."
"Deal with possible unexpected situations: for example, prevent other evil spirits from interfering with the soul's guidance process, or deal with situations where the soul is unwilling to leave the human world due to strong obsession."
"If you encounter this kind of problem, you can just use the mark to ask for help. We have a law enforcement team in the underworld that specializes in protecting the underworld officials."
