Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 200: Chapter 116: Hell’s Punishments Are Truly Terrifying, Good Thing I’m a Phys Ed Major (6k2)_4

Thinking to this point, Lu Wenwu said, “I have two friends, they are a pair of Black and White Impermanence, Black 985 and Bai Er Yi Yi. We get along quite well, and I want to go to the Reincarnation Area to find them.”

The Black and White Impermanence, being old ghosts of the Underworld, have long been detached from their past lives.

Names for them are just a code, so many Black and White Impermanence simply use their employee numbers as nicknames.

Many Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals do the same.

“Oh? You mean the pair that brought you here?” The Ghost General thought for a moment, then continued, “Counting the time, they’re probably on duty at the Soul Hooking Department now, which is also in the Reincarnation Area, so we’re on the way.”

“Then… could I bother you to show me the way? I’ll treat you to Spiritual Cuisine afterwards,” Lu Wenwu chuckled.

“Spiritual Cuisine!? No no, there’s no need, that’s too extravagant!”

The Ghost General was instantly flattered, taking out a familiar-shaped tablet with a [Offering] logo, and swiped a few times.

“I called a ride, it’ll be here soon.”

Called a ride?

Whoa, this place even has taxis?

About an hour later.

Lu Wenwu walked down at the entrance of the Soul Hooking Department building, feeling emotional, from the Netherworld Didi pulled by four Nightmare Hellhorses, waving goodbye to the helpful Ghost General.

These four Nightmare Hellhorses are said to be imported from the Western Hell.

Although not as strong as the local Ghost Warhorses of the Netherworld, they looked stylish and cool, popular among many young ghosts.

Reflecting on the sights and sounds along the way, Lu Wenwu felt this trip to the Underworld was worthwhile.

Gained great insight.

If it weren’t for seeing various huge tombs and grave-view rooms, grave-shaped rooms, mausoleum-shaped rooms in the residential areas along the way, he might have thought he hadn’t left the Human World yet.

This modernized Underworld truly lives up to its reputation.

Feeling moved, Lu Wenwu lifted his leg and walked towards the Soul Hooking Department office building.

From the outside, its style is identical to the government office buildings of Divine Continent on Blue Star.

At the entrance, Ox Head and Ma Mian holding weapons are responsible for guarding, frequently Black and White dressed Impermanence come and go, always in pairs.

“Halt, this is the restricted area of the Soul Hooking Department, ordinary ghosts cannot… huh? How come you’re a living person?”

Lu Wenwu approached but was stopped by a ghost.

He paused to look around, only then discovering a reception room beside the gate.

An Old Ghost holding a dry tobacco pipe put down the newspaper, his green eyes kept examining him.

“A living body descends to the Underworld, tsk… kid, what’s your background, coming to the Soul Hooking Department for what?” the Old Ghost asked.

Lu Wenwu scratched his head, “Uncle, I have no background, just came to this Ghost Realm Castle, want to temporarily rely on two friends.”

“No background but you can descend physically? Forget it, if you don’t want to say, just leave it, I’m just curious anyway.” The Old Ghost smiled and took a puff of smoke, “Your friends are Impermanence? What are their numbers, I’ll report you for them. But without an approval document, I can’t let you in.”

“Thanks, Uncle!” Lu Wenwu clasped his fists, “Their numbers are Black 985 and Bai 211.”

“Those two youngsters? Alright, find a warm place nearby and squat for a while.” The Old Ghost nodded, picked up the desk phone, and started dialing, “By the way, this is a key surveillance area, taking photos is not allowed!”

“Certainly, certainly.”

Lu Wenwu perspired, quickly agreeing.

After this exchange, why does it feel more like coming to a government office to find someone…

Shaking off the messy thoughts from his mind, Lu Wenwu, bored while waiting, began to admire the bulletin board on the courtyard wall, identical to those in many institutions.
