Chapter 411 Recruiting Thor?

After controlling the entity formed by the [Thunder Elephant] that resembled Lei Zhenzi, Chen Xin did not exterminate most of the ghosts in the Back Peak Temple. Instead, he spared the Black Abyss and the main bodies of dozens of Blood Calamity-level ghosts in the Back Peak Temple.

The reason for doing this is that Chen Xin does not want other Yin-Yang regions to merge with the Yin-Yang region of Sanfeng Mountain.

With only one mountain, Sanfeng Mountain, Chen Xin could consider it a pretty good location for the underworld.

After that, all you need to do is throw the ghostly entities from the back peak down to the foot of the mountain, away from the protection of the gate, so that they dare not go up the mountain and only wander at the foot of the mountain. That would be a natural defense measure.

After all, the Bureau of Investigation has already explored Sanfeng Mountain. If we don't implement some defensive measures that will make them wary, they might just treat Sanfeng Mountain as a tourist attraction.

Chen Xin didn't want that kind of trouble.

Furthermore, if all the evil spirits are destroyed, the three destroyed Taoist temples on Sanfeng Mountain will never be able to be restored.

After the Yin and Yang regions merge, the terrain within the region will be fixed in its current form.

However, as long as they do not merge, the Yin-Yang region will repair those Taoist temple buildings on its own.

With those buildings, Chen Xin would be spared the trouble of constructing houses after having the underworld officials move in.

Moreover, if there were no suspicious activity, even if Yang Xiu from the Bureau of Investigation arrived, 'Lei Zhenzi' wouldn't be able to directly deal with them with thunder.

In a way, sneakiness is also Lei Zhenzi's "aiming point"!
The inability to proactively attack a non-ghostly entity is one of the defects of the door-dang.

Of course, compared to the advantages of door knockers, this shortcoming is nothing.

If we change the talisman this time, only Chicken Brother's Yama-level ability [Burning Night] might be able to approach the damage caused by [Thunder Elephant]. No matter which talisman we use, it won't work!

Compared to the Thunder's ability to control the Ghostly, the Flame is slightly inferior.

Of course, not all the evil spirits that Lei Zhenzi destroyed were from the Black Abyss.

The hundreds of black figures that appeared at Zhongfeng Temple earlier were not actually Black Abyss; they were more like substitutes summoned by the three Black Abyss heads!
Those stand-ins are linked together by the Three-Headed Black Abyss in a special way, allowing the Three-Headed Black Abyss to appear in any shadow.

This connection even extended the oppressive force of the Abyss level to those shadowy figures.

If it weren't for the fact that 'Lei Zhenzi' could unleash a barrage of thunder, we might have had to play with those three Black Abyss heads for a while longer, and in the end, we might have even had to summon the Net Screen to find the three ghostly figures.

However, among those shadowy figures and the shadowy figures of the front and back peak temples, nearly half were blood-related disasters, and the rest were all malevolent spirits; there was not a single vengeful ghost!
Therefore, after Chen Xin cleared 80% of the three mountains, he directly gained more than 500,000 merits. With the merits contributed by the Bureau of Investigation and the underworld officials in recent days, Chen Xin's merits have reached as high as 900,000.

If it weren't for the advancement to the next level, I might have already accumulated a million Yin Virtue to advance to the next level of the Yama-level Town Artifact!

However, the story of the Gates of Hell hasn't been written yet, so even if you accumulate a million merits, it won't be of any use; you can only leave it as it is.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin controlled 'Lei Zhenzi' to fly towards the location of the Golden Summit Hall of Zhongfeng Temple, and landed on the Golden Summit again.

Then he looked at the two Bureau of Investigation members who were still there.

Although this 'Lei Zhenzi' was somewhat chibi-style in appearance, when its golden eyes looked at Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan, the two dared not meet its gaze.

In fact, Chen Xin did not know that it was not that Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan did not want to leave, but that they dared not leave!
They were afraid that their departure would anger 'Lei Zhenzi' and they would be struck dead by two bolts of lightning.

And so, the two sides remained in this strange stalemate. Just as Chen Xin was about to show himself and let the two leave, Nan Xuan took the initiative to speak.

"Lord Thor, I am Nan Xuan, a five-star specialist from the General Bureau of the Great Xia Public Opinion Survey. I have come to Sanfeng Mountain on a mission. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

Nanxuan cupped his hands and said.

Throughout the entire process, he kept his head down.

To be honest, he didn't want to say it, but if he wanted to live, he had no choice but to.

As for the nickname 'Thor,' it was purely something he called out to the person opposite him.

Whether or not he is 'Thor', calling him that can't be too wrong, and it might even make the other person happy.

As for whether this 'Thor' can understand, Nanxuan is 80% certain that the other party can understand. Even if the other party is not a being at the level of the God of Chaos, it is estimated that it is not far off.

The possibility of them being intelligent is very high.

But after Nanxuan finished speaking, there was no response for a full five seconds.

Unconsciously, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This is a situation that is basically impossible for a cultivator of his level.

Not daring to wait any longer, Nan Xuan braced himself and continued, "Nan Xuan and I thank Lord Thor for his help. Once we return, we will definitely inform the higher-ups of the Bureau of Investigation about this matter."

"If Lord Thor has any requests, please feel free to make them. I will definitely bring them on my next visit!"

After saying that, both Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan's hearts started pounding.

Every second feels like a year; that's exactly what we're talking about right now.

They didn't know how much time had passed, only that a detached voice suddenly entered their ears.

"Go down the mountain."

Go down the mountain?

Is that what he meant?

Nan Xuan's heart pounded wildly. He gritted his teeth and bowed deeply again without the slightest hesitation. Then, he and Li Shiyan walked backward to the edge of the cliff at the edge of Zhongfeng Temple.

Then, he turned around and jumped down.

After landing on the next slope, Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan said nothing. Their blood and qi surged into their feet, condensing into two pairs of legs that glowed red. Without looking back, they ran wildly down the mountain!

Throughout the entire process, they remained constantly on edge.

Both Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan were afraid of suddenly hearing that death knell-like drumbeat.

But they didn't hear the sound until they reached the 'wall' at the foot of Sanfeng Mountain.

Logically, once they arrived here, they should have turned around and disappeared into the 'wall' without looking back, leaving the territory of Sanfeng Mountain.

But both of them stopped at the same time, then turned around and looked up at the mountaintop that was thousands of meters high.

Even though they couldn't see anything, the two still bowed again.

This bow is an expression of reverence and gratitude.

Immediately, the two turned and crashed into the 'wall' curtain, disappearing from sight.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xin, who had been following the two in the Netherworld, couldn't help but smile.

"She's quite polite."

Shaking his head, Chen Xin returned to the Back Peak Temple and used reeds to pull out the ghostly entities that had not yet condensed from the temple, distributing them evenly near the four walls on each of the four sides of the mountain.

Once these evil spirits 'resurrect', they will likely still try to invade Sanfeng Mountain, but as long as they enter the thousand-meter range protected by the gate, 'Lei Zhenzi' will teach them where they should go.

After doing all this, Chen Xin did not take the door pawn; he left Yinming alone.

He was going to the Yangshihe Public Investigation Bureau to make a deal regarding peach wood.

……

When Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan returned with a message, leaders from multiple departments, including the director of the Bureau of Public Opinion, gathered in the conference room.

"Director! This is great news! A fantastic piece of news!"

Chu Xiu looked at Feng Jin with some excitement and said.

"Doesn't the appearance of that 'Thor' prove that the underworld isn't the only place in the netherworld?" "Moreover, according to Nanxuan and Li Shiyan, that 'Thor' only destroys ghosts and doesn't attack humans. This means that the 'Thor' is also close to humans, at least on the surface!"

"This is great news for us! If we can win over that 'Thor,' it will be a huge boost to both the strength of our Bureau of Investigation and our progress in exploring the Crimson Zone!"

"Chief, send someone to contact that 'Thor'!"

Chu Xiu's words drew everyone's attention to Feng Jin, but before Feng Jin could speak, Fan Yaohui, the deputy director of the research department, spoke up.

"Deputy Director Chu, I can feel your excitement, but this matter needs to be considered carefully!"

Chu Xiu immediately glared at him.

"A long-term plan? What do you want to discuss?"

Fan Yaohui naturally understood Chu Xiu's temperament and was not intimidated.

"First of all, we haven't even figured out the identity of that 'Thor,' so how can you be sure that it's something like the underworld? What if... what if it's a ghost?"

Chu Xiu retorted, "Fan Yaohui, you're the deputy director of the research department. Tell me, from the time the ghosts appeared until now, have you ever seen a single ghost that wields thunder? If you can give me one example, I'll listen to you!"

Fan Yaohui hesitated for a moment and did not answer Chu Xiu's question.

"Secondly, even if 'Thor' is an existence like the underworld, is He an individual or a member of an organization? If He is an individual, that's fine, but if He is also a member of an organization, can one 'Thor' represent the organization behind Him?"

"According to Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan, the 'Thor' simply didn't attack them from beginning to end, but that doesn't mean the 'Thor' is friendly to humans."

"Between friendliness and hatred, there is indifference."

At this point, Fan Yaohui looked at Chu Xiu: "Director Chu must know better than I do the attitude of those corrupt gods towards humanity. Sometimes, indifference is more harmful than hatred."

Chu Xiu was furious: "The situation in Great Xia is already like this. If we continue to hesitate and look back, how many more people will die in the time that is wasted?"

After speaking, Chu Xiu looked at Feng Jin again.

"Director, the reason I say the appearance of 'Thor' is a great thing is not just because I want to bring him into the Bureau of Investigation's camp."

"The great thing I'm referring to is that in the underworld, there isn't just one force like the Netherworld!"

"Does this mean that there are forces in the underworld besides the Netherworld and 'Thunder God'?"

"If the netherworld exists, what about the mortal world?"

"If we can win over 'Thor,' wouldn't it be easier for you, Director, to talk to the higher-ups about letting the Bureau of Investigation take over the excavation of the Great Xia ancient ruins?"

Chu Xiu's words startled Fan Yaohui.

He was unaware that Chu Xiu had previously suggested this, so upon hearing and reflecting on it, he no longer objected.

The underworld is, after all, a place of ghosts and spirits. Both the underworld and the 'Thunder God' reside there. This background inherently means that the Bureau of Investigation in the mortal world cannot fully trust them.

However, if an organization similar to the underworld or an entity like 'Thor' appeared in the mortal world, then the level of acceptance would be much better.

Thinking of this, Fan Yaohui looked at Feng Jin.

Feng Jin was indeed moved by Chu Xiu's words.

He had already arranged a meeting with the member of the Five Elders, but he wasn't sure if it would work out, since only that one member of the Five Elders was truly on the side of the Bureau of Investigation.

Even if one of them can win over another, it's still only two people, and they can't control the final outcome.

But if we present 'Thor' as proof, then it seems much simpler.

However, Fan Yaohui's worries were also his worries.

After a moment of silence, Feng Jin said, "Thor, we need to win him over, but we really can't rush things."

Chu Xiu frowned, feeling annoyed.

Feng Jin ignored him and continued, "Have you ever thought about this? Why did that 'Thunder God' appear at Sanfeng Mountain? And what is his connection to Sanfeng Mountain in the mortal world?"

"I don't believe that something like thunder could exist in the underworld."

Feng Jin's words startled Chu Xiu and the others, with Fan Yaohui being the first to react.

"Director, you mean... that Thor might very well have come from Sanfeng Mountain in the mortal world?"

Feng Jin nodded: "After all, the Zhongfeng Temple in the mortal world has the 'Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak'. Perhaps, that person entered the underworld from the mortal world?"

"Regardless of whether this guess is right or wrong, we should at least conduct a more detailed study and exploration of the three peaks of the mortal world before making contact with 'Thor'."

"If we can find traces of Thor in the mortal world, then perhaps we can get the people above to agree to our plan without having to go to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu immediately stood up.

"Chief, I'll lead the team to handle this matter!"

Feng Jin glanced at Chu Xiu and shook her head.

Before Chu Xiu could speak, he looked at Fan Yaohui and said, "Yaohui, you lead the team. Remember to bring Nan Xuan and Li Shiyan along too."

"If we really find Thor's trail, with them around, we won't let the other side misunderstand."

Fan Yaohui thought for a moment.

Compared to this, the projects I have on hand seem insignificant.

He immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Chu Xiu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He also knew that Feng Jin was afraid that his temper would anger that 'Thunder God' and cause irreparable consequences.

But he was still unhappy, and immediately, Chu Xiu was about to leave his seat.

Just then, someone rushed in.

"Chief, the Underworld messenger has arrived!"

This statement was not made in secret from others.

Everyone's expression changed after hearing those words.

We just encountered a 'Thor' and then we arrived at the underworld. Could it be... that the underworld knows something?
Feng Jin thought for a moment and looked at Chu Xiu.

"Chu Xiu, you go. You know what to say."

Chu Xiu nodded, his anger instantly subsiding.

He immediately got up and walked outside.

Soon, Chu Xiu saw the crow standing on the conference room desk.

Kara!
Chu Xiu pulled out a chair and sat down by himself.

Compared to before, Chu Xiu was more confident this time.

Even though this confidence has not yet been put into practice.
