Chapter 594: This Is Unfair
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elmer pondered for a moment. “From your description, you must have gone down. How strange.” Usually, the soul of a person who was in a dazed state would at most walk around the human world a few times. When a person woke up, it would be time for their soul to return. Almost no soul would be able to return after walking around in hell. Moreover, Harper had gone to Yama Hall.
There were ten Yama Kings in the Netherworld, each managing a part of the world. The King of Hell was in charge of life and death, and was the leader of the ten Yama Kings. After Amelia came up, Yama Hall’s business was divided to other halls. Only some subordinates did daily maintenance work. For example, he often went to the various halls for meetings. Now, Yama Hall was guarded by statues.
Harper asked, “So what exactly happened to me?”
Elmer explained, “There are ten Yin Commanders under the King of Hell’s Throne. They are the Black and White Impermanence, Ox Head, Horse Face, and the Ghost King. Then there’s the Day Wanderer, Night Wanderer, Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gill, and Wasp. What you see are all sculptures suppressed in the hall.”
Amelia counted on her fingers. “Why are these names so strange? What’s a leopard tail and bird beak? Are there still gills and wasps in Hell?”
Elmer explained them one by one.
Amelia heard this and said, “No, that’s eleven.’
Harper had the same question. The Black and White Impermanences, Ox Head and Horse Face already made up 4. But if they were grouped together and counted as 1, then there would not be enough for the ten Yin Commanders. There were only nine.
Elmer said, “The Black and White Impermanences are counted as one.” Harper and Amelia looked at each other. That’s strange. Why?
“Why can’t Ox-Head and Horse-Face be counted as one?” Amelia asked curiously. “That’s not fair at all. Why can Ox-Head and Horse-Face be counted as two but Black and White Impermanences have to be counted as one? Why can’t they be called the Nine Yin Commanders? Or the Eleven Great Yin
Commanders?”
Elmer: “…” He didn’t know either. Ask the King of Hell.
Elmer glanced at Amelia and ignored her question. He continued, “That’s not all. There are also the four Infernal Judges, Meng PO, City God, and countless ghost soldiers.”
Amelia said, “Oh…
Harper said, “I’ve gained knowledge.”
Elmer: “So, Harper, which one are you?” After saying that, he kept staring at Harper. He didn’t know any details about the mini King of Hell’s tribulation. He only knew that he was holding this booklet. Even his encounter with Amelia was a coincidence, and he didn’t know in advance.
Harper was stunned. What was going on? Why didn’t he understand?
Amelia was also dizzy. “Master, what are you talking about?”
Seeing that Harper did not sense anything at all, Elmer felt that he might have been overthinking. The four Infernal Judges, the Black and White Impermanences, Ox Head and Horse Face were all working hard. As for the rest, Moon, who was Meng PO, had already appeared. The Traveling Star—the Day Wanderer and the Night Wanderer were still unclear. The Ghost King was also uncertain. City Gods existed in every place. The Ghost Generals of the Yin Army were also guarding below. Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gill… Elmer thought of something and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“Forget it.” Elmer rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “In any case, you won’t understand even if I tell you now.”
Amelia rolled her eyes. ‘That again. What’s the difference between that and telling a child not to ask too many questions!’
Harper reacted and suddenly said, “You mean… l, 1 might be one of the King of Hell’s subordinates?” His eyes widened. Impressive, awesome! Wasn’t the game in Hell much more fun than cell phone games?!
“l must be the Ghost King!” Harper said proudly. He felt that his head did not hurt so much anymore. He often thought about why he came to this world in the dead of night. He wanted to complete some mission. Look, wasn’t the mission here now?
Elmer was speechless. “You…”
Harper said happily, “Sister! I’m definitely the Ghost King! In the future, when you die and go to hell, I’ll protect you!’ Amelia was elated. “Yes, yes, yes!’
Elmer said, “Wait
Harper’s eyes lit up. “In the future, when I go to hell, I’ll get you a back door from the King of Hell and get you an official position. You can die after that.”
Amelia was elated. “Yes, yes, yes!’
Elmer:
Harper and Amelia were talking freely about the future after death. Beside them, Elmer’s mouth twitched crazily. He could not interrupt at all.
Elmer was speechless. He floated up and said, “I’m going down to find out who that person is. Mia, be careful during this period of time. Don’t be rash. If there’s an emergency, burn the talisman with Master’s name on it. Master will rush back.”
Trapping Harper and asking him to write down his name was a very strange thing. Elmer felt that there was something fishy about it. He had to find out..
