When I entered Jiuyou Street, I was still humming "The Red Scarf Facing the Sun...", but there was no sun. The air was gray and full of death, just like entering a morgue. It made me feel so sad that I almost cried.
But I was in a good mood, and a long-lost sense of familiarity surged in my heart. This was on Zhongping Street. To the right was the Ghost Mouth Management Office, and to the left was the stone tablet of my ancestors. Looking back at the street next door, I remembered the robbery of the Hell Bank. It turned out that my buddy had already done a feat that had never been done before and will never be done again.
I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know who the new director of Guikou Management Office is. Who should I ask? Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a drunkard, stomping towards me, staggering three times with every step. He must have drunk a lot. I could smell the strong smell of alcohol from a distance.
When he came closer, I could see clearly that it was Ma Dawen. I was so happy, what a coincidence, otherwise I would have thought of looking for him.
The boy recognized me, too. He looked at me with drunken eyes, burped, and exhaled a foul smell of alcohol. He shouted in surprise, "Mr. Xi, why are you here again?"
I chuckled and said, "I came down to see you all. I haven't been here for a long time and I missed you guys so much." If that was really the case, then he was just bored. Who would come to the underworld to see his buddies for no reason
"Haha, Mr. Xi, don't try to fool me. Are you here to pick up another beautiful lady?" The boy asked with a silly smile. When drunk, even the smartest guy will look silly when he smiles. Besides, this guy is not very smart to begin with.
I put my arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "No, I just came to take a look. I heard that the director of the Guikou Management Office has been changed. Who has he replaced?"
"You are...well-informed. You've got a new director... a guy called the Soul Stealer." Ma Dawen said with a big tongue.
Shit, the old one is called "urging you to live", and this thing is called "stealing your soul". What kind of names are they? They are so weird. It seems that the underworld likes such weird names, like the bank owner is called "don't give money", right? Thinking of this bastard, I want to go over and rob his bank again.
"What did he do before? Where is he now?" I asked.
"Director Duo used to work under the judge. I heard that he was as ruthless and impartial as the judge, and his methods were very tough. Because the underworld was cracking down on corruption, they removed Lao Cui and replaced him with this boss. I heard that Lao Cui went to Naihe Bridge to help Meng Po watch the bridge." Ma Dawen whispered to me.
Lao Cui actually went to see the bridge. It was not a bad ending for him. He was a guy who accepted bribes, abused his power for personal gain, and had sex with prostitutes. The Chief Executive showed him a great favor by not sending him to hell.
Fortunately, I didn't bring any Yin-replenishing pills. From Ma Dawen's tone, it seems that the new director is ruthless and impartial. Sending gifts won't work. I'll have to think of another way.
Got it, I'll go find the Seventh Master and Eighth Master, I still owe them gifts. Now I also remembered the secret recipe for making ghost medicine, I'll ask them this time, and bring them more gifts later, then they will have everything, right
So I asked if the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master were still on duty at the release gate. Ma Dawen fluttered his head and said, I heard that there are many shifts of ghost messengers on duty at the release gate, and the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master are just one of them. He didn't know whether they should be on duty today. I asked him if he knew where the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master lived.
Ma Dawen blinked and said, "I know. We live on the most dilapidated street on the edge of the street. We live with the judge. No one dares to go there unless necessary. If you anger the judge, you will go to hell."
