Ya also put away her usual casualness and became serious.
Although she was a noblewoman of the Nine Heavens.
But in front of Hades Acha.
They dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Hades Acha glanced at them.
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
She slowly walked to the throne and sat down, then said with an air of dominance, "Call me Your Majesty."
Zhao Li, a wise man who knows when to yield, immediately changed his address to "Your Majesty".
Hades Acha nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze then fell on Ya.
She looked Ya up and down, then said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, isn't this the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"
"The real body has appeared."
"Could they be here to cause trouble for our underworld?"
Ya frowned; she sensed the hostility in Hades's words.
But she didn't want to cause conflict here.
"I was just catching up with Zhao Li."
"Reminiscing about old times?"
Hades Acha sneered, his gaze piercing Ya like a knife:
"Zhao Li is a ferryman of souls."
"His time is not for reminiscing."
The hostility in Hades Acha's words became even more apparent.
Ya Gan snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Hades Acha's attitude.
Zhao Li stood aside and felt the clash of two powerful auras.
He quickly changed the subject:
"Your Majesty, is there something you need from me?"
Hades Acha withdrew her gaze and returned to the main topic:
"Recently, there have been some problems with the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld."
Her tone became serious:
"Some die suddenly before their lifespan is up, and their souls disappear without a trace."
"Some people originally had a long lifespan, but it was suddenly shortened."
"And some simply disappear from the Book of Life and Death."
At this point, Hades Acha paused:
"Even some souls that originally belonged to the underworld have disappeared without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li frowned deeply:
"Your Majesty, do you mean someone is hunting souls?"
Hades Acha shook her head and said coldly:
"Things are far more complicated than just hunting souls."
"The Soul Hunting is merely a facade; it cannot explain the issues in the Book of Life and Death."
Zhao Li tentatively asked:
"Could it be because the Book of Life and Death hasn't been updated in a long time, and there's a small bug in the program?"
"Zhao Li!!!"
Hades Acha's eyes widened suddenly, burning with rage:
"What do you think the Book of Life and Death is?"
"Playing house? Playing games? And there are bugs?"
Her barrage of questions left Zhao Li speechless, and he could only lower his head.
Hades Acha took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued:
"This must have been done intentionally by someone."
"You should know that the order of the underworld cannot be disrupted."
Hades Acha's gaze was as cold as ice.
"Zhao Li, I demand that you investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible."
"I don't want the order of the underworld to be disrupted in any way."
Zhao Li smiled bitterly to himself; this task was far too difficult for him.
However, Hades Acha did not give him a chance to shirk responsibility.
She then said:
“If necessary, nip this person in the bud.”
"I will not allow any existence that threatens the underworld."
Zhao Li said with a bitter face:
"Your Majesty, I am merely a ferryman of souls, please consider this matter..."
Hades Acha interrupted him, saying:
"This task is best left to you. And since Xuan Nu is here now, you two can work together."
Upon hearing this, Ya rolled her eyes.
She said speechlessly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Hades Acha looked at her and said:
"You celestial beings wouldn't want the underworld to be in such chaos right now, would you?"
"If something goes wrong in the underworld, then the entire human world will be affected."
"At that time, even your celestial realm will not be able to remain unscathed."
Ya was speechless; she knew that Hades Acha was telling the truth.
Zhao Li wanted to say something more, but was stopped in time by Hades Acha:
"Zhao Li, you should know what the responsibilities of a soul ferryman are, right?"
Zhao Li nodded and said, "Send the soul to the underworld."
"Now that the soul has disappeared, how are you going to send it away?"
Hades Acha said with dissatisfaction:
"This is your responsibility and your obligation."
"You must find out the truth about this as soon as possible."
Zhao Li sighed helplessly.
I know I can't shirk this task.
He nodded and said, "I understand, I will take care of it as soon as possible."
Hades Acha nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course, if necessary, you can contact the relevant departments in the mortal realm."
"I believe they didn't want this problem to occur either."
She concluded by saying, "Remember, the underworld doesn't allow people this awesome to exist!"
"I, Hades Acha, absolutely will not allow it."
After finishing speaking, Hades Acha cut off the connection without waiting for Zhao Li's response.
Zhao Li looked at the phone in his hand that had suddenly gone dark.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Zhao Li, what's wrong?"
Ya noticed Zhao Li's unusual behavior and asked him in confusion.
"What else could it be? We've gotten ourselves into big trouble."
Zhao Li sighed.
Ya frowned: "Do you know who did it?"
Zhao Li remained silent.
He just glanced silently at Pawnshop No. 8 not far away.
Ya followed his gaze and her eyes widened immediately: "You mean...it's him?!"
“Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who could have such great abilities.” Zhao Li nodded.
Ya slapped her forehead: "I should have thought of that sooner."
She looked at Zhao Li and asked, "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do but follow Hades's orders?"
"Just a token gesture, a formality, please."
Zhao Li shrugged:
