No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 361 The Guide

Jiang Bei looked at the eight characters written on the palm of his hand, then looked at the masked man standing there, still unable to recover from the shock.

"No? You're just giving me your birth date so easily? Aren't you afraid I'll put a curse on you?"

"What is fear? I don't seem to have that feeling."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Bei said, "I'll try my best to help you find it. However, I'm curious about something. Can you answer it?"

"Tell me."

"Why are you wrapped up so tightly? Don't you feel stuffy with not even a piece of skin showing?"

"This is His Highness' order."

"Is Tian Changliu so strange? Are you always so tightly wrapped up when you're together?"

"Not before."

"It wasn't like that before, so why are you asking for this now? Even in private, it's so strange."

The masked man glanced at Shi Chen and said, "Anything else?"

"Yes, have you two always lived here?"

“It’s been like this since I came here.”

"Who brought you here?"

"That was your Highness's former guard. He died not long after picking me up."

"died?"

"Well, His Highness was sad for a long time because that was the person left behind by his mother."

"His mother is also dead?"

"Ah."

"And you still don't deserve the emperor's favor, right?"

"Ah."

"I'm really helpless."

"Not entirely."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Your Highness has a twin sister named Tian Changwan."

Jiang Bei boldly guessed, "Could he be dead too?"

The masked man was silent for a few seconds and said, "Almost."

"Yes means yes, no means no, what does almost mean?"

The masked man obviously didn't want to answer his question, so he said, "It's getting late, His Highness is still waiting for me."

Jiang Bei responded obediently: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

"This Tian Changwan has a secret, and this masked man revealed this to me on purpose. Why?"

Before leaving, the masked man reminded him again: "This is the palace. If you run around, you will lose yourself."

"Yougong?"

"A moving palace, to put it bluntly, is more like a prison without a destination."

After the masked man said this, he completely disappeared from Jiang Bei's sight.

"The person who was right in front of me just now disappeared in an instant. This place is quite interesting."

Jiang Bei thought for a while and found Luo Shiyu, telling her that he would be away for a while.

Just in case, he went to trouble Tian Changliu again and asked him to take care of Luo Shiyu.

After explaining everything, right under his nose, he used the fan in his hand to cut through the void and entered the space crack.

He did this just to tell Tian Changliu, I can take you away from here. And the premise of all this is that you help me take good care of Luo Shiyu.

Jiangnan undid his fox transformation and found Cui Ji.

"Little Jiji!"

When Cui Ji heard Jiangnan's voice, his heart started beating wildly and he said "hmm" with forced calmness.

Jiangnan jumped up to Cui Ji, tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "I need your help with something."

Cui Ji smiled and said gently, "Well, go ahead."

"Please help me take a look at this." Jiangnan handed the eight characters written on the palm of his hand to Cui Ji for review.

Cui Ji took one look and said, "Why are you writing the horoscope of a dead person on your hand?"

"Dead man?"

"Well, the soul is incomplete and cannot enter the reincarnation cycle. Of course, it is the horoscope of a dead person."

Luo Shiyu always felt that the conversation before him seemed familiar.

[An incomplete soul, a dead person's horoscope... I seem to have heard the same thing somewhere before?]

Luo Shiyu closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember anything. He had been in this illusion for too long, too long.

If he can't remember, he just doesn't think about it. When the time comes, he will remember it naturally. He is not a person who likes to make things difficult for himself.

Jiangnan didn't give up and continued to ask: "If the soul is incomplete, is it absolutely impossible to enter the reincarnation cycle?"

"That's the business of the Samsara Division. It has nothing to do with my Yin Law Division and is not my responsibility."

"That's it..."

Seeing Jiangnan's disappointment, Cui Ji immediately changed his tone: "But I can ask for you."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"No. As for the matter you asked me to do last time, I haven't found a way to cancel the contract yet, so I'll trouble you to wait a little longer."

"That's alright, no need. I'll figure it out myself."

"No need? Are you planning to marry Lie Lin Qing?"

Jiangnan casually picked up a fruit, took a bite, and said with a smacking mouth, "How is that possible?"

Cui Ji finally felt relieved and said "hmm".

Jiangnan clapped his hands after eating the fruit and said, "Let's go!"

"Where?"

"The Samsara Division!"

"I've sent word, we just have to wait."

"Oh my~ You are truly worthy of being the great Judge! You are always reliable in your work!"

Cui Ji's face turned red with embarrassment instantly. He stood up and gave up his chair, pushed Jiangnan onto it and sat him down.

"You know I'm tired, and you still offered me your chair. How considerate of you, Judge!"

"Don't make trouble."

Jiangnan sat sideways facing Cui Ji, his arms resting naturally on an armrest. He looked up at him and smiled, "I'm not kidding!"

Cui Ji's heart was beating wildly, and his body uncontrollably grabbed Jiangnan's hand.

"Actually, I am happy..."

"Wow! Look!" Jiangnan pointed at the paper floating in front of Cui Ji, which was burning with ghost fire, and screamed. As for his shy confession, he didn't hear it at all.

The good atmosphere was ruined. Cui Ji sighed, picked up the still burning paper, extinguished the ghost fire on it, and handed it to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan looked at the unburned paper in his hand and asked curiously, "Was that ghost fire just now a scare?"

“It’s encrypted.”

“Why encryption?”

"People with incomplete souls are not allowed to cross the bridge. It would be different if there was a guide."

"What is a guide?"

"Use your soul as a lamp to guide the souls of the dead. If you are not careful, you will never come back."

Cui Ji said, pointing to the paper in Jiangnan's hand, and continued: "This is the list of all the guides so far."

"Is it just a list of guides? What about the names of the dead?"

"No, a person with an incomplete soul shouldn't be reborn. Such a person won't even have their name in the Book of Life and Death. Even if they are reborn, they will be just an empty shell without any emotions."

"An empty shell?" Jiangnan muttered, his eyes sweeping across a familiar name.

"Crane Calling?"

"Oh, her. She did send a dead soul off personally, and she paid a heavy price for it."

"Where did she send that ghost?"

“Only the guide himself knows this.”

"That's it."

Jiangnan read it over and over again, but couldn't find any useful information on the paper. He simply gave up and sighed exhaustedly on the table.

"Oh~ I have no idea!"

"Don't be anxious, take your time."

"I want to, too." Jiangnan suddenly thought of something, sat up straight, and asked, "Xiao Jiji, do you know Tian Changliu?"

"The God Emperor's youngest son who won't live past fourteen?"

"Huh? You can't live past fourteen?"

"So what did I encounter? A ghost?"
