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

A colossal black and white beast stood before Song Mo, one of its forepaws raised, treading on the air.

Its shoulders were taller than the floor, so it had to lower its head slightly, and its fur moved lightly all over its body.

Two colors of fur swayed slowly, the single horn stood upright, and the patterns on the horn flowed at an extremely fast speed, with streams of law flowing like a waterfall:

Those who attack others with false words will be sent to the Hell of Tongue Removal.

Those who commit sexual misconduct against others will enter the hell of knives and the hell of fire.

Those who embezzle others' property will be thrown into the hell of boiling oil.

Those who abuse their power for personal gain shall be stripped of their official positions, their posthumous honors, and shall never be reinstated.

That horn was still spinning continuously, like a rigorous and precise instrument, with absolutely no error.

……

Song Mo looked at the giant beast and his eyes lit up.

The 15,000 scriptwriting points and all that material she invested finally paid off.

[Mother.]

The giant beast spoke in a low voice, its gender indistinguishable, as if countless people were speaking at the same time.

Its clear black and white eyes turned to Song Mo, a faint look of affection rising in their depths. It slowly lowered its massive head to Song Mo's knees, gently resting its head there.

[Mother.]

Song Mo couldn't resist reaching out to touch the fur on its head.

It feels hard to the touch, unlike the softness of cat fur, but the body beneath the fur is warm and alive.

Her fur was ruffled, but the terrifying beast didn't get angry. It just let out a very soft "gurgle" from its throat.

It's like a spoiled feline.

"Good boy."

Song Mo couldn't bear to urge the newborn mythical beast to start working. But the next second, the Xie Zhi raised its head, and its single horn turned under the light, making a "click" sound like gears meshing.

[Mother, the construction of the eighteen levels of hell must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.]

The Xie Zhi raised its head, its eyes shooting out a cold light, its tone flat and uncompromising:

[Mother, the passage to reincarnation needs to be built as soon as possible. The foundations for the first and second levels of hell can be laid first. I can provide a specific plan.]

Late Song Dynasty: "..."

[Mother, how is the specific administrative system of underworld officials divided? I will enshrine the administrative relationship between the City God and the Land God into the law.]

[Mother, I have drafted the specific procedures for the souls of the deceased to return to the world of the living during the Ghost Festival. Please review them.]

Late Song Dynasty: "???"

Did she create a baby or a client for herself?

But before she could refuse, the Xie Zhi opened its massive mouth and spat out a document formed from black mist, densely packed with newly generated laws, underworld procedures, and division of responsibilities—

It had only been born for less than ten minutes, yet it had already envisioned the framework for the underworld over the next fifty years.

This "good boy" is so capable.

He was able to work until the end of the Song Dynasty and wanted to knead it back into that lump of clay.

"I see."

Song Mo's lips trembled as he shakily accepted the document, his tone filled with despair.

……

……

……

It was just past midnight at the Jiangcheng Special Investigation Bureau Command Center.

Today is a special day, the Ghost Festival.

Whether by coincidence or not, the number of paranormal events suddenly increased several times over on this day.

The enormous command center occupied an entire floor, and on the LED screen directly in front of it was an electronic map of Jiangcheng, with countless red, yellow, and green dots flashing on it.

—Green dots represent normal areas, yellow dots represent mild abnormalities, and red dots represent high-risk events.

At this moment, the yellow dots on the map are increasing at a visible rate, dotting the entire city.

"Beep...! Beep...!"

The alarms blared incessantly, and the sounds of telephones, walkie-talkies, and staff reports mingled together, creating an extremely noisy environment!

Everyone is like a wound-up gear, spinning at high speed.

[Command Center, Fuling District in the north of the city reports! Approximately thirty or so ghosts have been sighted wandering the Laomendong area at night, all dressed in old-fashioned attire. No injuries reported!]

"Received! Three teams of field officers have been dispatched from nearby areas to maintain order, instructing the public not to gather around or point, so as not to anger the spirits of the deceased!"

……

[Command Center, Qixia District reporting! The Earth God Temple at the foot of Qixia Mountain suddenly lit up all night last night, and nearby villagers said they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from inside!]

"Received. Classify this as an anomaly in the City God's Land Management system. Notify the research department to follow up!"

[Command Center, Shihezi District Emergency Report! A new instance of fluctuation has appeared near Banqiao, energy level F, currently forming and expected to fully open in two hours!]

"Roger that! Immediately seal off the surrounding area, evacuate the public, and dispatch a reconnaissance team to stand by! Assess the risks as soon as the instance opens!"

……

……

Countless dispatchers sat at their workstations, wearing headphones, rapidly conveying instructions.

The keyboards were being pounded away, and each person had seven or eight screens lit up at the same time, displaying surveillance footage from different areas.

Many people have been working non-stop for twelve hours.

Starting from early this morning, unusual events have surged in various places, three to four times more than usual.

New dungeons are springing up like mushrooms after rain. In just one day, three new dungeons have appeared around Jiangcheng.

Not to mention the national or even global scale.

[Nationwide new abnormal events: 1247 (updated in real time)]

[New dungeons added: 7 (2 B-rank, 3 C-rank, 2 F-rank)]

[3700 personnel have been deployed for field operations]

The number keeps jumping up.

……

Suddenly, in the fourth row to the right of the command post, at the workstation closest to the wall, a young man wearing round-framed glasses sat up straight:

"What is this? An unusual celestial phenomenon?!"

She stared at the screen, her eyes widening, her fingers unconsciously gripping the headset cord.

"There's something unusual happening in Jiangcheng."

She glanced at it for two seconds, then yanked off her headphones, jumped up, and shouted towards the command area:

"Report! Jiangcheng is experiencing an anomaly! The psionic energy fluctuations are abnormal! They started surging four seconds ago and the curve is still rising!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The real-time psionic waveform was switched to the main screen, where the Jiangcheng psionic monitoring curve was climbing at an illogical speed—

The curve was originally a calm dotted line, but now it looks like it has been suddenly pushed up from below by something!

The waves surged higher and higher, and the warning red circles at the edge of the screen flashed violently.

"Local psionic fluctuations...all occurring at the same time...the frequency of paranormal events is decreasing."

The observer's voice trembled slightly, as if he had witnessed something utterly incomprehensible:

"The number of paranormal events is decreasing throughout Jiangcheng!"

My system shows that the four ghost activity points in the southern part of the city were fluctuating normally three minutes ago, but now they have all disappeared!

The peak psionic energy at the entrance of the "Ghost Building" in the north of the city, which was marked before the Ghost Festival, dropped from 1320 to less than 100!

Both of our field teams reported that their targets had suddenly ceased their aggressive behavior!

Many people realized what was happening and instinctively stood up.

Such a large-scale, widespread disappearance of supernatural phenomena has never occurred before.

This doesn't resemble a localized outbreak at all; it's more like a top-down "sweeping" operation.

Before he finished speaking, all the lights in the hall flickered at the same time.

In less than a second, everyone's headphones went "buzz," as if a huge, enormous creature had rolled over from the ground.

"Buzzing..."

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

The earth was trembling.

The sky has also changed.

In the early morning sky, a shooting star suddenly streaked across the sky.

The whole city was quiet.

Police officers patrolling the streets, commuters unexpectedly stranded late at night, residents in buildings...

Everyone looked up, all in the same direction.

I don't know when, but a star appeared in the sky.

The star rose higher and higher at an incomprehensible speed, growing larger and larger, its light becoming more focused and brighter, like a giant beast slowly opening its eyes.

Someone asked, "What is that?"

But no one answered, because immediately afterward, everyone heard a deep voice coming from another dimension.

A beastly roar.

"..."

The sound penetrated deep into everyone's spine, as if a giant beast larger than the entire city was turning over underground.

The dogs on the street all lay down, their tails tucked between their hind legs.

The birds in the tree seemed to be launched by something, fluttering and taking flight.

Suddenly, fog rolled in on the river, and the river water began to flow backward.

The entire city of Jiangcheng was plunged into immense and uncontrollable terror.
