Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 192: Chapter 114: Brother Wu’s Fury at the Underworld’s Stuffed Egg Pancake, An Audience with King Qin Guang

Holding the placard, Lu Wenwu was a bit puzzled: “Well, I don’t need to go for a check-up… no, I mean, I don’t need to go for an inspection to verify anything?”

The ghost handling affairs waved his hand: “No need, you’re special. The process is already completed, so you can just go directly. Of course, if you want to line up, it’s up to you. By the time it’s your turn in the process, it’ll be the seventh day.”

As the poem goes: On the seventh day, the dead linger in the Shadow’s body, the flock like dust in numbers. Yet head to the King’s shrine for the check, never have crossed the formidable ferry.

Lu Wenwu: “…”

That’s somewhat unlucky, I’m not dead yet…

Lu Wenwu looked at the crowd of people, then at the empty waiting area with sofas, decisively choosing to take advice and enjoy a meal.

Just after he sat down for a moment, a ghost soldier dressed as an ancient general approached.

“It’s your turn, come with me.”

He dropped the words, picked up the red placard, turned and walked away, without a thought of further interaction.

Lu Wenwu didn’t mind and got up to follow.

Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of numerous players, he stepped into the Qin Guangwang Hall.

With the familiar force of spatial teleportation, taking the second step, Lu Wenwu found himself in a resplendent, ornately decorated hall.

There’s nothing eerie or terrifying, nor any horrifying soul-capturing from typical murals and relief sculptures.

Everything in Qin Guangwang Hall was normal to the extent of being abnormally so, having no trace of the underworld’s feel.

Behind a wide desk sat a man with a blue face, red hair, leopard eyes, and a lion nose, long beard, wearing a square crown and dressed in a dragon robe.

This was King Qin Guang.

King Qin Guang presides over the life and death of heaven’s longevity in the human world, managing the fortunes and misfortunes of the underworld, the ascent of good souls.

Those with balanced merits and demerits are sent to the tenth hall for distribution, returning to the world, male turned female, female turned male.

Those with more evil than good are sent to stand on the high platform to the right of the hall.

On the high platform is a magic mirror, known as: Mirror of Evil.

A glance reveals the heart’s goodness or badness in life, immediately referring to the second hall for punishment in prison.

Lu Wenwu guessed, the blue-lined book on his desk emitting strange waves was the legendary, famous Book of Life and Death.

However…

When he activated the Eye of Insight, he discovered things weren’t as simple as he imagined.

That blue-lined book was merely King Qin Guang’s notebook.

Beside it, suspended in mid-air, continuously emitting light, a tablet prominently displayed several big words.

[Book of Life and Death (Projection)]

Lu Wenwu suddenly felt something in his mind shatter.

Thinking back, if the underworld’s Book of Life and Death was recorded using a tablet, give that monkey half a month and he’d still be clueless about altering lifespan…

Seeing King Qin Guang focused on writing, Lu Wenwu began observing the furnishings in the hall.

Not only was the Book of Life and Death a projection, even King Qin Guang himself was a Divine Thought Projection.

However, just like he saw with the Space-Time Demon God earlier, he could only recognize a name and the nature of the projection.

He could discern nothing else.

Those mighty and impressive Yin Soldiers around, righteous-faced intern judges and Yama’s assistants were all the actual body.

Lu Wenwu observed like this for about two minutes.

King Qin Guang, after being engrossed in writing, finally set the pen down and remarked lightly: “You, mortal, entering Yama Hall, are still so bold. Even daring to spy on this king?”

Lu Wenwu was immediately displeased: “Master Yama, what’s that supposed to mean? How is this spying? I’m clearly standing here looking openly!”

“Hiss…”

Apparently not expecting Lu Wenwu to be so daring, speaking to King Qin Guang in this manner, the nearby Yin Soldiers and Yin Messengers were instantly stirred.

An intern judge sternly reprimanded: “Bold mortal! How dare you disrespect Master Yama like this! What should your punishment be?”

Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow: “How would I know? It’s my first time in the underworld, no ghost told me.”

Assistant judge: “…”

Damn, he makes a good point!

A Yama’s assistant spoke up to ease the situation for his colleague: “Ignorance bears no guilt, considering it’s your first offense, this time punishment will be spared. If repeated in future, you’ll be thrown into Eternal Purgatory for punishment! Think carefully before speaking.”
