"You said... I was born to be a Yama and have to work in hell. Isn't it boring to do the same thing every day?"
"Doing the same job every day does take a bit of a toll."
Finding that Rin could actually understand him and not be like other colleagues, Shiki Eiji's eyes sparkled, and she also felt the motivation to talk, and continued: "I have been doing this kind of work for about a thousand years. You know, the Right and Wrong Office is only to investigate whether the dead sent from the other side are sinners or good people. There are so many sinners now, and their crimes are similar. Some have even reincarnated several times, but they are still punished in hell for the same crime and sent to reincarnation. Every day at work, I have to face this group of similar dead souls and say the same things. Wouldn't you be annoyed?"
"It turns out...that's it."
To sum up, I have lost my enthusiasm for work and even reached the point of resistance. After resigning, I don’t know what I will do next, so I will inevitably be confused and melancholy about the future.
This is the same situation as a student who has just graduated from college and is assigned a job by the school but gradually feels that it does not suit his or her needs, and after resigning, he or she does not know what to do next.
Lin didn't know how to comfort her in this situation, so he could only pat her on the shoulder: "Everyone will experience this kind of life path, but I think... the most important thing is to remember your original intention. Think about what kind of mentality you had when you first took office?"
Shiki Yingji's eyes were slightly disturbed. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, "Be fair and selfless. Lead the dead souls to where they should go, maintain the order of reincarnation, and maintain the balance of the entire world."
"Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people like us, your work is full of justice and fairness. You judges are also majestic. No one disobeys your judgment. The wicked get the retribution they deserve, and the good people can be reborn in heaven. As bystanders, we are all grateful for your contribution to the world. Why do I hear your tone... don't you feel that your work is good at all?"
“…Is it really that good?”
Shiki Eiji's eyes regained some of their spirit, and she looked into Rin's eyes, trying to tell whether it was comfort or the truth.
Lin nodded, with a frank expression, and organized his words to evaluate from his own perspective: "Also, those guys who refuse to change after repeated admonitions are a minority after all. Aren't many criminals improved a lot after serving their sentences and reincarnating again? I think your hell should have statistics, and there are still many people who have changed their ways."
"That's true... but... because the population is increasing, although there are no more big evil people, there are more and more small evil people, and there are fewer and fewer good people, alas."
"So, your job is even more important. You need to judge right from wrong and distinguish between good and evil impartially. I remember you have a repentance stick, right? I don't need to tell you what the repentance stick is used for. Isn't it your responsibility as Yama to teach people to be good and persuade them to be kind?"
Seeing her tangled face, Rin seemed to be a little moved, and continued, "It is precisely because of your responsibilities and obligations that there will be fewer and fewer people committing time crimes, and the world will become a better place. Master Shiki, don't you really know how heavy you are?!"
As he chattered on, Siji's expression changed, and his originally gloomy eyes became bright.
"How can you ignore the lives of the people and give up your responsibility to educate the world just because you feel bored with your work?"
Lin's last words were like a stick of repentance hitting Shiki Eiji on the head. She lowered her head in shame and said, "Yeah... I'm doing such an important job. How can I just give up like that? It's so irresponsible."
There seemed to be a sound of the experience value of the mouth cannon skill increasing in his ears. Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and he felt complacent that he could become someone else's life mentor.
"Well, so don't be bored with such a great and noble profession in the future. If you think about it carefully, it may not be that boring. You can list the other party's sins one by one and correct and educate them. Once they repent, they will definitely be grateful to you. Can't this gratitude be used as motivation for your work?"
"I understand!"
Shiki Eiji was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, full of vitality. She stood up, looked at the lake with sparkling eyes, and was full of energy: "That's right! Educating sentient beings is a great thing! How can such a thing be boring?! I was too superficial before."
After adjusting her official hat, Shiki Eiji took out the stick of repentance and turned to look at Rin with gratitude on her face: "Human, what is your name?"
"Jin Gong Rin, just call me Rin."
She nodded, looked at Rin carefully, and her smiling face suddenly turned upside down. She pointed the repentance stick in her hand at Rin and said righteously: "Rin, you are guilty!"
"what?!"
"This is probably the sin caused by being unfaithful. Today I want to have a good talk with you. As a man, you must take responsibility. It is wrong to have a harem. Blah blah blah..."
Lin, with a confused face, looked at the repentance stick that was getting closer and closer to his nose, and his mood was extremely complicated. This was called shooting oneself in the foot. He didn't expect that after King Yanluo regained his confidence, the first person he preached to was actually himself.
MMP! Did I teach her to preach hard before?
The first time she met King Yanluo face to face, Rin felt dizzy and wanted to die. She finally realized how kind Shiki Yingji, who used to preach in text during the chat, was... and how slow Shiki's typing speed was compared to her speaking speed.
Fortunately, apart from his relationships with men and women and his dealings with monsters and gods, Rin did not commit any sins. On the contrary, he had many merits. Shiki only nagged him for an hour before she was done. Lianlian in his arms had already fallen asleep. Poor Rin would be hit on the head by the stick of repentance every time he dozed off, and he would lose all desire to sleep and accept her earnest teachings.
It was not until this moment that Rin realized that in the future he had no idea how powerful Shiki Eihime was. He thought that the shameless girl from Gensokyo was exaggerating. He was so naive that he actually gave the super powerful loudspeaker to Shiki... What a huge sin this was, and how much damage it had done to Gensokyo. Rin covered his face with guilt.
"That's all for now. I hope you can repent. By the way...what are you doing in hell?"
Rin, whose brain was swollen and in a daze, did not react at all. Even the repentance stick could not bring him back from his trance. It was only when Lianlian woke up and pulled Rin's face hard that he came to his senses.
Noticing the guilt on Rin's face, Shiki Eiji thought that her preaching had worked on him, so she gained confidence and asked again with a dry cough.
Thinking of the important matter, Rin shook her head to get rid of the guilt towards the girls of Gensokyo and Nazashachi, and said seriously: "Actually, the matter is probably like this..."
This kind of thing is not the first time for Hell to travel through time. Shiki Yingji was not surprised and nodded silently: "We Yama are very reasonable. You don't have to worry. Just tell King Yama and she will definitely make arrangements. How about this, you want to go to Yama Palace with me."
Lin was overjoyed. He thought that once King Yama agreed to let him leave hell openly without any arguments or fights, it would be best for them to just be friends. Then he would just have to send Lianlian back.
"Thank you very much, Master Shiki."
Shiki Eiji covered her face with the repentance stick, so others couldn't see her expression. When she moved the repentance stick away, she still looked serious and nodded to Lin: "Then please follow me."
"Alright! Lianlian, let's go!"
Yanma possesses a special ability that allows him to travel freely in hell. Shiki Eiji waved her hand to open a teleportation channel, saving Rin a lot of time.
……
The Yama Palace is cold and eerie, with strange and hideous architectural style. Every Yama has a frosty face, and they are intimidating without even getting angry. All of this is to intimidate the undead souls of hell, which Lin can understand.
After standing at the door of the central hall and waiting for a while, Shiki Yingji appeared in the long and dark corridor ahead. It can be seen that she was in a good mood.
"Lord Yama is in a good mood today, and I can return to the Office of Right and Wrong. She has also agreed to your return, but she wants to see you."
"Emm...Okay."
Rin was brought into the corridor by Shiki Eiji and walked along the dark corridor. The view in front of him suddenly opened up and several palace doors were tightly closed. When Shiki Eiji and Rin got closer, the middle door was opened.
There were still corridors inside the door, one inside another. I didn't know how many doors and corridors I had passed through before I finally arrived at the hall where King Yama handled official business.
Rin followed Shiki Eihime in and saw a girl with long black hair sitting next to the table. She looked quite like the girl he saw in his dream when he died and fell into hell, but her expression and temperament were completely different, and in fact their appearance was only 50% similar.
King Yama was wearing the attire of a proper Hell executive. He could see her scarlet eyes when he looked up. He looked at Rin curiously for a few times, and there was some understanding in his expression: "I have learned about your situation from Shiki. Since you are an innocent stranger here, leave quickly. I will let Shiki take you back to the other side, and then we just need to return to the ground."
He didn't understand why Yan Mo specifically called him over to meet him just to say this, but Rin was still very grateful. It wasn't until Yan Mo said the last sentence that he scratched his head awkwardly: "Well... Lord Yan Mo, I actually want to go to the underworld first, and then go to the surface."
"Underworld?"
"Well, I have a good friend who wants to check it out."
Although Rin felt a little embarrassed to trouble such a good person, since it was related to Youyouko, she just threw away her pride and told the other party about Youyouko's situation in detail.
King Yama was silent for a long time. He put down the brush in his hand and tapped the table with his chin. "Is it the ghost? There is indeed such a person, but he seems to have been taken away by the demon sage. For this matter, the demon sage and hell have reached some kind of agreement, but I don't know much about it because I have never intervened. You don't have to go to the underworld. The ghost you mentioned should be on the ground now."
Hearing this news, Lin hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Thinking that Zi and Youyouzi were still waiting for him to come back, he became a little anxious: "In that case, please trouble Lord Yanma to send me out of hell as soon as possible."
She nodded and looked at Lianlian who was holding Rin's hand tightly, still expressionless: "She should be the sister of the Jue youkai who manages the old hell, right?"
"Uh, by the way, I still have to send Lianlian back to the old hell first."
"Okay, then you can stay here for a while."
After thanking King Yama again, Rin, Lianlian and a constable walked out of the palace, leaving only King Yama and Shiki Eihime in the palace.
"I'm glad you're back. In my opinion, you're the most suitable Yama to manage the Right and Wrong Office in the future. After I go to reincarnation, you must continue to inherit Yama's will."
"Season understands."
……
After traveling in hell with Lianlian for a while, Rin developed a deep friendship with the Yanma clan. He gave generous gifts to almost every Yanma to consolidate their friendship.
By the way, at least the ratio of men to women in the Yanma clan is balanced, which makes Lin, who is used to seeing more female monsters than male monsters, quite relieved.
Finally, when the time was right, Rin was brought by Shiki directly to the gate of the old hell through directional teleportation, waiting for the gate to open.
After a while, the door was opened, and the magic circle above trembled slightly. Then a large number of blue corpses poured down and were blown towards the door by an air flow from unknown direction. Lin hugged Lianlian tightly and was about to get in through the door along the tide of corpses.
He saw the fire cat Lin standing opposite him. When he saw him, his face was full of surprise and he shouted loudly: "Master Lin! Master Jue ran out of the old hell to find you and Master Lian!"
These words made Lin stand still, and seeing that the gate was about to close, he quickly retreated with Lianlian and watched the gate of the old hell close again.
"Strange... How did Jue get out of the old hell?"
It was normal for her to think that Lianlian would follow her. Lin was just wondering how she could get out without the gate between the new and old hells being opened.
Shiki Yingji also frowned: "I haven't heard that the administrator of the old hell has been given other powers. Maybe I am ignorant."
At this time, it is unclear whether Jue appeared directly in the new hell from the old hell or went to some other place. Lin smiled bitterly, touched Lianlian, and sighed: "How about this, Master Shiki will ask about the hell. I will take Lianlian back to the ground to find Jue. I thought Xiaowu was an obedient and steady girl, but I didn't expect that she would be so worrying."
"I see, take this with you."
Shiki took out a badge and handed it to Lin. Lin took it and looked at it, and found that this was the badge carried by the runners in hell.
"Only the errand boys can carry this waist badge. I carved one for you temporarily. If I find a monster, I will shatter it. Then you can go directly to hell through the passage. Remember to bring Gu Ming Di Lian with you."
Thanks again to the reliable Shiki, the group arrived at the gate to hell. Shiki Eiji, holding King Yama's decree, took Rin and brushed shoulders with the incoming ghosts, and arrived at the legendary Sanzu River.
Lin glanced at the foggy river surface. There seemed to be the cries of the souls drowning in the water, which was a bit scary.
I heard that if there is no guide in the Santu River, you will be trapped in the river forever. It is really true. The visibility here is less than half a meter, the water flow is changeable, and the sky is full of smoke. It is difficult to get out without a guide.
Rin followed Shiki along the shore. Every few steps they could see the ferryman of the Death taking the dead souls to the other side and then being picked up by the constables. Only one boat was still idle.
Shiki Yingji's face changed, and she walked to the side of the boat and hit the sleeping girl on the head with the stick of regret.
"what!"
The girl who was suddenly attacked stood up from the boat, rubbing her head. Seeing Si Ji standing opposite her, she looked terrified: "Wow! Master Si Ji, didn't you resign?"
"It seems like you're eager for me to resign, right? Do you blame me for being so harsh on you? Look at what you've become. As a god of death, you're not doing your job properly, blah blah blah..."
The beautiful red-haired girl's breasts were like two basketballs, allowing Rin to recognize her identity at a glance.
Onozuka Komachi, nicknamed Naizamachi, was accepting Shiki's teachings with a confused look on her face. She couldn't understand why the taciturn and extremely strict Lord Shiki suddenly became a different person and started preaching.
But no matter what... I want to die.
Chapter 71: Playing Hidden Treasure to Get a Girl, Red Mushroom Charcoal Roasted Turkey (Reward and Extra Update)
Finally, Nazamachi... ahem, Komachi's eyes were still a little straight and her head was in a mess even when she was rowing.
Three hours of preaching had made her begin to doubt her life, and she was in a daze even when holding the paddle.
"Ahem, Komachi, please be careful when rowing. Lianlian feels a little seasick."
Lin patted Lianlian's pale face with heartache, let her lean on his arms, and fed her two motion sickness pills.
Who knows if motion sickness medicine works on monsters.
"Oops! Sorry sorry!"
Komachi, who had regained her senses a little, quickly steadied the boat, scratched her head and smiled apologetically at Rin. She looked just like the girl Rin knew in the future, a slightly confused and careless good girl.
That’s why we say broad-mindedness...the bigger your mind is, the more open-minded you will be.
While rocking the boat, Komachi sighed, "Hey... Why did Shiki-sama become like this? Although he was strict before, he didn't talk much... Oh, Rin-sama is Shiki-sama's friend, right? Do you know the reason?"
"..."
Lin looked away awkwardly and scratched his face: "Well... maybe there was some unexpected or setback, ahem."
"Yeah, that's right! I hope Master Shiki can recover as soon as possible. Right now, I want to quit my job as a death god."
"Don't even think about it. I heard that you have to do this job for life. It's no different from selling your body."
This sentence revealed the illegal labor contract between Hell and the God of Death. Rin touched Lianlian's little head and couldn't bear to see Komachi's face full of sadness and frustration.
After chatting with Komachi for about an hour, they arrived at the other side. After saying goodbye to her breasts, Rin held Lianlian's hand and stepped into the only bright path in the darkness.
Unable to see anything in front of them, the two could only fly forward along the path of light. They were in a daze and had no idea how long they had been flying. The scene changed and the world suddenly turned upside down, catching Lin off guard and causing him to fall to the ground while holding Lianlian.
Fortunately, the height was not very high, and Lin protected Lianlian so that she did not get hurt. He stood up and pulled Lianlian up, brushed off the dust on her body, and Lin took Lianlian's soft hand again and looked around.
It was late at night. The two stood by the river. Lin breathed in a breath of fresh air from the ground, opened his phone and looked at the map. Fortunately, he was still in Area 11.
There was no sign of human or monster nearby. Lin stood there for a while, took out the communicator that Kappa had given him, and started making calls after debugging.
Unfortunately, the connection was not made. Rin guessed that this was because Kappa technology had developed too rapidly over the past few hundred years and this type of communicator had become obsolete.
Thinking that this place was not far from Nara, Rin decided to go back to the former Heijokyo, now Nara Castle, to see the old Taketori House.
It was the time of the Onin War, and there was chaos everywhere. The Eastern Army Hosokawa Coalition and the Western Army Yamana Coalition were fighting, and the war was spreading across the country.
What surprised Lin was that he didn't encounter many monsters along the way. Even if he did, they were only a few cats and dogs. He didn't see any real monsters, let alone high-level ones, even mid-level ones.
This made Lin quite worried, and he rode all the way back to Nara. Now Nara Castle was occupied by the Eastern Army, and it seemed that the war had just ended, and the city was peaceful.
According to the memories of his old acquaintance, Rin returned to the Taketori Residence, only to find that the house was already deserted. Even the bamboo forest had completely disappeared and turned into a vegetable garden. The Taketori Residence, which was once some distance away from the town, has now become a lush residential area.
Everything turned to dust, causing Lin to sigh with regret. He gathered his spirits again and set off towards the ghost tribe's base with Lianlian.
Unfortunately... the city is still deserted, the Monster Mountain... the entire Area 11 was turned upside down by Rin, but no trace of Youxiang was found. Even the flower fields showed no trace of Youxiang, and even the Dream House had disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that... Gensokyo has already been established by now?"
As soon as doubts emerged in Rin's mind, she shook her head: "No... The one who manages the hell of Gensokyo is Shiki Eihime. Shiki Eihime has not been transferred at this time, which means that Gensokyo has not been established yet. Then where are Sister Murasaki and the others?"
