I, the screenwriter, have experienced a resurgence of inspiration.

……

Song Mo stared at the gradually increasing material library, selecting suitable materials from it and feeding them to the supernatural creature that was taking shape in front of him.

[Unnamed Paranormal Creature No. 006]

The non-human players have stepped up their game, and so, every single second, related materials are surfacing from the depths of the system—

Honestly, they looked like fish turning belly up one after another.

These are human souls, some so corrupted that they are no longer recognizable as human, while others still retain a semblance of human form.

In Song Mo's eyes, their emotions were very faint, like ants whose joys and sorrows were frozen in time.

What Song Dynasty officials needed to do at the end of the Song Dynasty was to distinguish between "recyclable waste" and "non-recyclable waste".

"...A pedophile lawyer? Hopeless. Feed him to 006. Hmm, when this soul was a teenager, did he commit theft due to hunger? Keep him as a backup."

At the end of the Song Dynasty, she stretched out a finger and gently lifted it, and a series of written materials immediately flew around in front of her:

"...These souls are relatively clean. We'll keep them for the City God to examine and see if they can be used."

The non-humans seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. The souls that came to her were either judges, lawyers, wardens, bribed clerks, or Taoist priests who helped people get off the hook, or shrewd lawyers who used the law to ruin others.

When these individuals were alive, each of them had something to do with the word "law".

Now, their knowledge, experience, sophistry, and logic are all mixed together, like a pot of ink that has been repeatedly boiled—

Then, at the end of the Song Dynasty, this huge pot of ink was fed to "006".

It has no specific shape, like a lump of poorly shaped clay.

Countless words took shape on its surface, including legal provisions and related knowledge, which it "swallowed".

Every time a batch of material was added at the end of the Song Dynasty, the lump of "mud" would wriggle slightly, as if a person were swallowing it.

The IP "Underworld" is too big.

Song Mo sometimes had a headache. She hadn't even finished building the shell of the underworld when the setting she created started to grow flesh and blood on its own.

Every day, the reports sent by the City God alone piled up to the height of a person, all of which were piling up in the system waiting for approval.

"...Therefore, there must be a judge; there must be a judge first."

Song Mo slowly pinched 006, his eyes vacant:

"The judge must be absolutely impartial, showing no favoritism to the living, no pity for monsters, no bribery, and no sway by tragedy."

Therefore, 006 must have a brain like a supercomputer.

It must be knowledgeable about everything, able to see through people's hearts, and know the nature of ghosts, but it cannot have any "preferences".

It cannot be judged leniently just because a ghost was filial in life, nor can it be judged severely just because a ghost was disrespectful to gods and spirits in life.

Its sole basis is "law".

Only what is written into law is true for it.

—From the very beginning, Song Mo had no intention of relinquishing the power to compile laws, or rather, she never even considered this possibility.

Whether non-human, human, or ghost who was once human, all beings inevitably possess selfish desires.

Therefore, she needs a completely impartial assistant.

Without a strict and just law, the newly created underworld will sooner or later become a replica of the living world.

Therefore, the Xie Zhi (獬豸) came to mind at the end of the Song Dynasty.

……

……

"...Its shape resembles a qilin, its body is like a lion or tiger, and it has a single horn on its head. This single horn distinguishes between the loyal and the treacherous, and exposes the unjust."

At the end of the Song Dynasty, I closed my eyes and slowly sketched the scene in my mind:

"They do not eat grass, nor do they eat meat; they feed only on the wicked and the unjust."

The Xie Zhi is a mythical beast in ancient legends. It is said to be the embodiment of law, and it will use its single horn to gore the truly guilty person when two people are arguing.

The ancients embroidered it on their official robes to instill a sense of awe and fear in those in power.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the last batch of materials were all fed to the Xie Zhi.

One, two, ten, fifty... two hundred, one thousand...

The phantom began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly contracted in the next second. At the location of the heart, a pitch-black book of "New Laws" was taking shape.

Before long, extremely faint sounds began to emanate from the lump of "mud," like the sound of wind blowing through the pages of a book.

Song Mo didn't stop; instead, he raised his hand and meticulously modified the settings in the air, stroke by stroke.

—As soon as the words fell, they turned into a faint golden light, slowly drifting into that illusory shadow.

"Your birthday is the Ghost Festival."

"You have no gender."

"You have a single horn."

"You neither eat grass nor meat, but live by the law, and you will devour the souls of those who have committed grave sins."

"You are absolutely fair and have no selfish motives whatsoever."

The shadowy figure began to take on a concrete outline, starting with a single horn that slowly emerged from the hazy black mist:

The horn was entirely bluish-black, spiraling upwards, with layers upon layers of intricate text and patterns on its surface.

The words are changing every second, as if countless invisible hands are carving words on that corner:

[Article 1, Section 1, Part 1 of the New Law: All things are equal.]

Then another line:

No partiality.

One more line:

Do not overstep the bounds.

When the law disappears and justice is extinguished, that will be the day the Xie Zhi dies.

Born of law, die of disorder.

The head of the giant beast slowly emerged, resembling both a lion and a qilin from ancient paintings.

The hair on the left is pure white, the mane on the right is jet black, and there is a dividing line in the middle that looks like it was measured with a ruler.

The left pupil is black, the right pupil is pure white, and there is not a trace of light belonging to a living being in the eyes.

Its body was still indistinct, but a broad back and powerful limbs could already be seen. A tail hung down from the mist, with the tip of the tail divided into two colors, black on top and white on the bottom.

Song Mo glanced at it and continued writing:

"You should be able to distinguish truth from falsehood; your horn is the ruler that measures lies, and no lie in the world can escape your eyes."

"You have to be sensitive to rules; wherever you go, there are rules."

"You are a divine beast, you cannot reproduce."

"You will face your own death, but whether you are reborn is your choice."

"You are a judge, serving as the Left Judge of the New Underworld Capital, in charge of revising the laws, reviewing the laws of the underworld, and supervising their implementation."

"You live at the boundary between Yin and Yang, and can take human form. You will never favor either side, and you will never betray anyone."

……

……

After meticulously reviewing each line word by word at the end of the Song Dynasty, I thought for a moment and changed the last line to:

"You will never betray the law."

The next moment, the phantom suddenly fell silent.

It neither expanded nor contracted, and then a huge, clear head emerged fully from the fog.

That was no longer a phantom.

It came to life.
