Jing Yi opened his eyes and found two big white faces standing in front of him.
He rubbed his aching head, stood up, and found himself standing at the end of a gloomy bridge. The sky was dim, the wind was cold, and there was not even a piece of vegetation to be seen. It was so desolate that it made people feel cold to the core.
Is there such a place in a tourist town?
Jing Yi remembered that he went on a graduation trip with his classmates. They climbed an unknown mountain in the evening. Halfway through the trip, they encountered heavy rain and mudslides. He and his classmates got separated. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in this damn place.
He was just about to ask the two guys next to him where this place was and whether they had seen his classmates.
When he turned around, he was stunned.
This is not a human being.
They are clearly two ghosts from horror stories.
The two gentlemen, one black and one white, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, put together, look like a crudely made Bagua plate.
These two ghosts looked completely different from the ones he knew. Bai[1]white Wuchang[2]who guide the spirits of the dead to the underworld had a tall and thin figure and a smiling face. Although his face was pale, the tall hat on his head had the words “First sight brings fortune” written on it, which made people feel good about him at first sight.
Looking at Black Impermanence again…
He was a small, dark-skinned man with a fierce look, a broad and fat body, holding handcuffs and shackles in his hands, baring his teeth, and looking like he would pounce on someone and tear him to pieces at any time with his arms waving.
Seeing that these two gentlemen actually looked like this, Jing Yi was not afraid at all. Instead, he moved closer: “Am I dreaming? Or am I already dead?”
The chains clanged, and Hei[3]black Wuchang’s voice made a deep verdict: “You are dead.”
Jing Yi turned his face away: “Nonsense, the fortune teller said that I will live to be a hundred years old!”
Hei Wuchang was stunned by his refusal.
It’s rare to see someone challenging Wuchang these days, it’s so new, he didn’t react for a moment, just staring with eyes wide open in a daze.
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, “Then you may have been deceived. The Book of Life and Death cannot be wrong. Mr. Zhao XX, you have indeed been confirmed dead at 2:01:15 pm on September 1, 2024. This is your death notice. Please sign it.”
A white A4 paper fell from the sky and landed in front of Jing Yi. He glanced at the “Death Notice”, then looked at the two impermanences, and then looked at the notice. After two rounds, he raised his face with an innocent look: “But I’m not Zhao XX.”
“…”
“……”ah.
“……”hiss.

Ten minutes later, Jing Yi sat bored at the Naihe Bridge, his feet dangling in the air, his expression calm and quiet, not looking like a victim at all.
The culprits who brought him here – the two Lords of Impermanence, had been chatting in a corner for ten minutes.
Jing Yi waited for a while, but couldn’t sit still anymore, so he jumped down and said, “Two Wuchang brothers? Have you discussed it? If you delay any longer, my body will be completely cold.”
The Black and White Impermanence turned their faces away with an indescribable look, their expressions no longer showing the ferocious look from before, but instead mixed with a hint of subtle caution.
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes sharply, huh? Something is happening.
As he was thinking, Hei Wuchang came over with a twinkling look in his eyes and said in a voice as loud as a bell: “You can’t go back.”
Jing Yi: “Why?”
Hei Wuchang: “You are dead.”
Jing Yi blinked his eyes: “But you have caught the wrong person. In my case… it should be considered an unjust death. Aren’t you afraid that I will be so angry that I will come after you two for your lives?”
Black Impermanence: “…”
This is the first time I’ve heard of someone seeking revenge from the God of Death. What a joke.
Bai Wuchang coughed lightly, and said with a face that showed no other expression except a smile: “It’s like this, we see that you are naturally beautiful, so we decided to grant you a blessing and allow you to choose a new body to be reborn. You can choose any family background you want. How about it?”
Jing Yi pursed his lips and looked at him.
Bai Wuchang: “You’re reborn and you’re given a golden finger, dear?”
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Jing Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the two of them for a while: “Actually, you two stole the wrong soul, and then found that I couldn’t be put back, so you just found a random body to fool me, right?”
I am a smart college student who has received nine years of compulsory education. I am not easy to deceive. Jing Yi clicked his tongue.
Bai Wuchang was not annoyed when he was exposed, and admitted frankly: “That’s right, once the soul is hooked, the person is dead, and even we can’t bring the dead back to life. If you want to live, you can only be reborn in a body. In order to make up for our mistakes, we can give you the greatest convenience in your reborn identity.”
Jing Yi found another way: “Can’t I just reincarnate?”
Anyway, he had no relatives or lover before he died. He was free to come and go, and live and die as he wished.
Maybe he can be reborn into a good family. After all, he has never done anything bad. The day before yesterday, he helped three old ladies cross the road at once!
Hei Wuchang sneered with a stiff face: “Do you think Mengpo soup is pearl milk tea in the mortal world, and you can drink it whenever you want? Ghosts crossing the bridge all need real-name authentication, and you are not Zhao XX. If your identity doesn’t match, won’t you drag us down to be punished?”
Jing Yi suddenly realized and pointed out: “Oh~~ So there will be punishment for seducing the wrong soul~ huh?”
Black Impermanence: “…”
This long and rippling sound is very annoying!
Bai Wuchang acted as a peacemaker and continued to persuade: “Mr. Jing, the matter has been settled. You should think about your reborn identity.”
It’s terrifying to hear that a good guy is entangled with two ghosts on the Naihe Bridge. He should leave as soon as possible.
What’s more, you can freely choose your identity, which is no different from reincarnation. It can also save you the trouble of growing up, which is a great blessing!
Jing Yi rubbed his hands quietly and began to think about what benefits he wanted.
After waiting for a while, Bai Wuchang saw that his brows were relaxed and he seemed to be a little moved, so he asked quickly: “How about it, Mr. Jing, have you thought about it?”
Jing Yi hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: “I want to be a CEO, the kind that can make millions every minute. I want to experience the happiness of being rich.”
“I need a top Michelin chef to prepare three meals a day for me, I need to travel in a Maybach, have three drivers, and live in a beautiful place that is convenient for me to do high-end sports such as swimming, skiing, fishing, and golf.”
“Oh, and I also want a group of friends who like to have parties, so that every day there is something different to do. Oh, and I also want a special ability, so that if I have to work, the special ability can help me handle everything directly, so that I can go fishing on the top floor of a skyscraper. And, and…”
Hei Wuchang couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted him: “Are you just standing here and arguing with us about bugs?!”
Wow, this Black Impermanence is also a Northeastern silverman?
Jing Yi shrank his neck when he was yelled at, turned his head to look at the other side of the Naihe Bridge, and pretended to leave: “Old lady Meng Po is on the other side, right? Now that I’m here, I’ll go over and say hello to her.”
Black and White Impermanence: !!!!!!
God your mother is here.
Is this the front door of your house? Why are you still greeting me? Why don’t you go to heaven to see the Jade Emperor? The two impermanence cursed in their hearts.
Is there anything scarier than having the wrong soul hooked? Yes, that’s when the wrong soul threatens to report to the boss!
If you are discovered, it will be a terrible thing and you will have to serve hard labor in the eighteen levels of hell.
Bai Wuchang quickly grabbed Jing Yi and softened his tone. With a smile on his face, Jing Yi’s anger subsided a lot.
Bai Wuchang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, “Mr. Jing, you can propose conditions, but please don’t be too outrageous.”
Jing Yi blinked: “Is my request outrageous?”
Hei Wuchang gritted his teeth and said, “…what do you think?”
Jing Yi touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “Well, I won’t embarrass you too much. The identity I want is simple, about the same age as me, male… You can’t give me a female body, otherwise I will come to Meng Po to complain. I am a grudge holder.”
Wuchang: “…”
Jing Yi began to count on his fingers: “I need to have a good background, a rich family, and no worries about food and drink. It would be best if I also have a decent job, with a monthly income of… just 100,000 yuan, after tax. I am a good citizen who abides by the law.”
Hei Wuchang was a little upset: “You just said you wanted to be the CEO! Why did you change again? My monthly salary is less than 100,000 underworld coins, what makes you think you can do that!”
Jing Yi said unconvincedly, “Being a CEO is too much of a job. Besides, if I become the CEO, the company will be at risk of bankruptcy. I regret it, right? What kind of service attitude do you have?”
“…”
Hei Wuchang was very angry.
Nowadays, there are still people who fight with the God of Impermanence. It’s so infuriating!
Bai Wuchang was still smiling, but that smile looked so stiff: “Go on.”
Jing Yi: “I need to have a lot of big guys around me, preferably those in business, politics, law and gangs. After all, I’m unfamiliar with the place, and if I get into trouble, it would be good for someone to save me, hehe.”
The two impermanences turned their faces away in tacit understanding and stopped laughing.
With your little mouth, you always offend people every day.
Hei Wuchang couldn’t help but want to curse again.
Fortunately, Bai Wuchang was still sober and held him tightly, not giving Jing Yi any more opportunities to take advantage of the situation.
He finally realized that this time, it was not his soul that was being hooked, it was clearly a hot potato, and he couldn’t hit or scold him, which made him feel very frustrated.
Just send him away quickly.
Jing Yi continued to nag: “The employer should not have a good personality. I like him to be able to humiliate me at any time with money. He should also be handsome. After all, beautifying the environment is everyone’s responsibility. It’s best not to make me work overtime. I don’t like to smell too much like work. There’s nothing else to say. I’ll add more when I think of it… By the way, you just said that you can get a golden finger for rebirth?”
Jing Yi stared at Bai Wuchang with sparkling eyes and a look of anticipation.
Bai Wuchang’s smiling face, which had not changed for thousands of years, could hardly hold back.
But in order to send Jing Yi away as soon as possible, he took out a stack of long and thin cards from his pocket and said to Jing Yi one by one: “This one, invincible beauty, everyone will be attracted by it.”
Jing Yi touched his chin and shook his head decisively: “I’m already good-looking enough, next one.”
“…”
Bai Wuchang: “This is a supernatural weapon, with an attack power that is beyond belief.”
Jing Yi: “No, no, I can’t even pass security with such a brutal weapon.”
“…”
Bai Wuchang gritted his teeth: “Perspective?”
Jing Yi said disdainfully: “That will cause corns. Isn’t there any Midas Touch, elixir of life or something like that?”
Even Bai Wuchang, who has a good temper, was so angry that he almost threw something: “Who do you think I am? The living Nuwa?”
Jing Yi: “Okay, okay, then you continue.”
Bai Wuchang could hardly hold back his laughter: “Gold medal lawyer?”
Jing Yi: “No, I’m not good at talking.”
There is no one more skillful than you!
Bai Wuchang was so angry that his hands shook. He took out another one: “Special teacher?”
Jing Yi was horrified, shaking his head like a windshield wiper: “I just graduated and you want me to go back to school? No, no, no.”
“…”
Damn it, do you really want to be reborn? You don’t want this or that. Do you want to be reborn as the Jade Emperor? !
Bai Wuchang suppressed his anger and continued to flip the cards: “This one, loudspeaker…”
Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow suddenly appearing from the corner of his eye, taking out a card to seal Jing Yi’s mouth, and then kicking the picky ghost in front of him into the pool of rebirth beside the bridge.
Jing Yi didn’t check for a moment and fell flat on his face in the water.
Then it slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
Bai Wuchang: “…”Puff.
Hei Wuchang clapped his hands and said, “Done. If I continue to listen to him, I’d rather go to the eighteenth level of hell and do hard labor.”
Bai Wuchang froze in place, seemingly unable to react.
Hei Wuchang then remembered something: “By the way, what golden finger did you give that kid? I didn’t hear it clearly.”
Bai Wuchang paused for a few seconds and moved his lips: “Loud speaker.”
Hei Wuchang scratched his head: “What the hell?”
Bai Wuchang spread his hands honestly and said, “I don’t know. No one has used it. It’s not very popular.”
Hei Wuchang said nonchalantly: “Never mind, he has been reborn anyway, let’s go find that Zhao first. This time, be careful and don’t make any more mistakes…”
Two figures, one black and one white, gradually walked away.
Jing Yi fell into the cool pool. He felt weak all over and a feeling of weightlessness swept over his body. When a burst of white light came, he fainted.
