You are already in a different world.
It will take two days to return to reality.
The cold and magnetic male voice was like a low and harmonious symphony playing in her ears.
The girl sat in front of the desk.
She held her chin with one hand and listened lazily to the red-rimmed black kimono in front of her.
The expressionless black-haired young man explained the background of the contract in his hand.
But.
As soon as he started, the young man's delicate facial features wrinkled.
The horns on his forehead moved slightly.
He seemed to be venting his impatience.
"Tsk, who wrote this kind of old almanac... please refer to the document attached to the contract for the specific background. In short, due to the shortage of inquisitors in the world, in 2225, Hell signed a friendly agreement with the Government of the Hour.
Hell will recommend some souls to work for the Government of the Hour. "
The guilty received a reduced sentence, and the innocent received a corresponding salary. This not only solved the Government of the Hour's shortage of manpower, but also correspondingly alleviated the growing population base of Hell.
"It lasted until 2308, which was last year.
Hell was rioted by evil spirits.
About 10,000 souls were lost to the small world under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Hour, which seriously affected the normal operation of the small world. Therefore, the inquisitors created a new task — to go to the small world to find and recover those souls. For these employees who are different from other inquisitors,
We call them 'special inquisitors.' For the specific information,
Please look at Annex 2 of the contract.
Hmm.
The salary is in Annex 3. "
"Miss Natsume, your spiritual power is strong, and you have rich experience in dealing with non-humans in your life. You are a special talent that the Government of the Hour and we are in great need of." After a pause, the young man looked up at her, but saw that the other party was staring at his ghost horn. He knocked on the table with some dissatisfaction, motioning for her to come back to her senses. "What's your reply?"
The expression on the girl's face remained unchanged. She was not ashamed of being caught absent-minded. She lazily withdrew her gaze, as if the person who had just stared at his ghost horn was not her. However, in fact, she was staring at his horn thinking about the monsters in hell (?) They could also be civil servants, or rather high-ranking civil servants, although they were not very eloquent.
Yes, to be honest, apart from the introduction of the general background, the young man did not talk about the important parts of the job content at all. How to find the job, whether the process of finding the job was easy or difficult, what difficulties would be encountered during the period, and so on. He also did not say what the consequences would be if he refused this job … He always felt that there was some kind of conspiracy.
If she was a smart person, she would naturally ask for more details. However, it was clear that the girl had no such intention. She didn't know what had happened, but she had arrived in this hell in a daze and was brought in front of this lord in a daze. Although the other party had a cold and cruel expression, she felt that he wouldn't hurt her.
Her intuition had always been accurate.
She rested her chin on her other hand and quickly flipped through the contract. Then, she looked up at him. "In short, you will provide me with a house, transportation, tools, and hire me to complete a series of tasks for Hell and the Government of the Hour. As a salary, I will receive preferential treatment in my next life. Is that what you mean? Assist the Lord Guan?"
Hell's First Assistant, Ghost Lantern, nodded. "Your summary is more or less correct."
"Oh." The girl frowned and pointed at the salary. "I don't have any other problems, but the salary … Can you change it?"
"What are your conditions?" A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Ghost Lantern's eyes. Ever since Hell had accepted the cooperation with the Government of the Hour decades ago, he had been the one to select people and communicate with them. He had seen many candidates who had been screened out. They were either nagging him to the end and nitpicking at him for details, or they were negotiating all kinds of conditions. How could he … At least he could consider bribing him with an acre of rare snapper grass.
Then, did he agree to those people's suggestions in the end? Of course, he agreed to all of them. Regarding this, he could only say that those "talents" who thought highly of themselves were too naive. Not to mention the difficulty of the task, whether or not they could get a good This Pill was decided by him. In front of him, they were high and mighty, nitpicking. They even wanted the wealth, family background, and golden fingers after reincarnation. They didn't even see if they could survive until the end of the work.
Those who had offended him during this period were now buried ten feet high … No, such souls who had died an unnatural death would not have a grave. They had probably turned into spirits to purify the air.
That was why, in society, my Brother Lantern, he was ruthless and didn't talk much.
Once he heard that the other party had signs of developing in this direction, Ghost Lantern immediately narrowed his eyes. His ink-black pupils were like an abyss. A black aura was about to break free from the cage, attracting the attention of the subordinate beside him.
The girl paused for a moment. She wasn't too concerned about what the other party was imagining. She recalled what she had heard from the guide when she came here, so she brought up her request. "If it's possible, I would like to regain my memories from when I was alive. As for reincarnation and whatnot, let's follow the normal procedures."
When she woke up, she found that she had lost part of her memories. There was a voice in her heart telling her that it was something very important to her. She should remember it. Coincidentally, the guide had revealed that Hell had a way. So when the other party asked her to be the God's Inquisitor, she immediately thought of this matter.
Ghost Lantern was stunned for a moment. Even the subordinate beside him had a complicated expression in his eyes.
"Oh?" Ghost Lantern dragged out his voice. After the girl sat across from him, he seriously looked at her for the first time.
The dead in Hell had different forms. Some appeared with their appearance before they died, and some returned to their youth. Generally, the latter were people with powerful abilities. When the Yin-Yang Master Abe no Seimei first entered Hell, he entered with a youthful appearance. That heavenly appearance had harmed countless demons and ghosts. When Abe no Seimei washed away the sins on his body and went to Heaven, he even poached more than half of Hell's high-quality staff, causing him to work overtime day and night. This account had always been recorded in his little notebook.
In addition, the evil spirit that Abe no Seimei had caught had caused such a big mess, which made him almost tear his little notebook.
Digressing, the girl in front of him was one of the latter. She should have returned to her youthful age. The girl's facial features were delicate and slightly immature. She had long chestnut hair that reached her waist and wore a student uniform that could be seen everywhere in the modern world.
However, what contradicted her slightly immature face was the strong fluctuation of spiritual power that could still be felt after she restrained it. Ghost Lantern had seen many souls with strong spiritual power, but it was the first time he saw such a strong and pure power like this since that person … Oh, "that person" was the one in the notebook.
If Abe no Seimei was a man loved by shikigami, then the girl in front of him was a woman loved by countless demons when she was alive.
Coupled with the occasional laziness and sharpness on her face that didn't match her age … Tsk tsk, why did he feel that it was a loss for him to send her to the Government of the Hour? Hell was also short of people!
"Actually …"
"Cough …"
The person beside him coughed and interrupted his recruitment. Ghost Lantern pursed his thin lips and turned to look at his subordinate. However, he met a pair of pleading eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
"I understand." Ghost Lantern turned his head and changed the salary on the spot. He asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
The girl took the contract and looked at it. The corner of her mouth rose, revealing an extremely bright smile. "No, thank you."
The more you asked for, the more you should pay. She understood this principle very early on.
The girl answered readily. She picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract in a flamboyant manner. Then she handed it back to him.
Ghost Lantern raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally thought that he would have to spend some effort to persuade her, but he didn't expect her to sign so easily with such a simple request … Suddenly meeting such a fresh and unpretentious talent, he had a strong desire to keep her. "Wait, do you want to reconsider? Actually, there are quite a few in hell …" Ghost Lantern held one side of the contract. As soon as he opened his mouth, the subordinate wearing a white mask beside him reminded him, "Ghost Lantern -sama, it's almost time for your appointment with the Goddess of the Underworld."
Hearing this, Ghost Lantern's slightly pursed lips curved down again. The pity in his eyes became even more obvious. But when he thought about how the Government of the Hour's appointment was over, he could still persuade her to work in hell. At that time, he wouldn't have to look at the eyes of his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Hozuki swiftly put away the contract. His slender fingers paused on the pile of documents on the table for a moment, then skipped the documents he had prepared early in the morning. He pulled out a document from the bottom and handed it to the girl. With a serious expression on his face, he said, "The number assigned to you is Honmaru 52033. Later, take this recommendation form to the secretary's desk outside. They will take you to the Hozuki sent by the government. You can ask him anything related to Honmaru and work. Then, sign an employment contract with him, and the formalities will be completed. Later, the Jinjiang AI developed by hell will directly send This Pill. Then, that's all. Good luck. "
Although she didn't understand why the assistant's attitude suddenly changed, the girl smiled and thanked him for his kindness. She took the recommendation form and got up to leave.
Watching her back disappear behind the door, Ghost Lantern turned to look at his subordinate beside him. "Add 20 more years. I gave her the best This Pill."
The subordinate who was acting like a blockhead just now retracted his complicated gaze from the girl's back. He pulled down his mask, revealing a delicate and handsome face. His amber eyes looked gently at his superior. "Thank you, sir. We will work hard."
"Mm."
A good seedling in exchange for two excellent subordinates for 120 years each … Mm, it was worth it.
Ghost Lantern nodded in satisfaction.
