Chapter 131 After This Job, We Will Retire
The underworld, Wangchuan.
The creaking sound of wooden clogs on the mud is quite noisy in the silent Wangchuan Huangquan.
Dongfeng Gu Hui, wearing a beautiful kimono, walked on the bank of Wangchuan; in the distance, the fleet of the underworld was carrying the souls of mortals over in an endless stream, most of whom were young people.
This was definitely not a normal scenery here, but Xiao Hui looked calm, obviously knowing the situation here long ago.
The red spider lilies swayed to welcome the distinguished guests from afar, and the ferry girl was dozing on a small boat, letting the soul-carrying boat float on the river - but, as if the river obeyed the command, the boat never left Xiao Hui for a moment.
Of course, there were no souls on the boat, as if this was just an ordinary river.
I don’t know if it’s because the fleet in the distance took away too much business, the ferryman Onozuka Komachi seemed quite idle - of course, it’s more likely that she was just slacking off.
At this time, a cool breeze blew and woke Komachi up. Smelling the smell in the wind, she showed an incredible expression on her face.
"The wind started to move, Miss Dongfenggu, you are really accurate." Komachi stood up from the boat and raised the sickle of the god of death: "The guys who escaped from the life and death situation are really getting restless now."
"Vampires are also living dead, just intuition." Xiaohui stared at Komachi with her beautiful eyes and said: "There will be many difficult souls coming down here soon, and the fleet is not good at dealing with them."
The implication is to let a senior god of death like Komachi ferry and send some troublesome guys that ordinary underworld civil servants dare not touch into the underworld. This is not an easy job, but it is one of the most lucrative jobs in the field of "ferrying".
"Yeah, this is interesting~" Komachi looked at the horizon with some expectation: "It's been a long time since we had a good time with those vampires. As expected, there won't be so much fun if we don't leave Gensokyo~"
"Remember to go back early." Xiaohui said lightly: "Don't play too much, Hongji... Miss Shiki has already discovered it."
This reminded Komachi that she was able to travel to the underworld of this world to fish instead of being disciplined by the King of Hell Shiki Yingji in Gensokyo because of the Veins built by Li Zheng, and more importantly, the "Hongji·Chiruhime" in Xiaohui's deck.
It may be because the world of Gensokyo was the first world to be connected after Li Zheng's Veins was built. As the flower princess of Higanbana, Chiruhime had a "dream butterfly" effect with this fish-fishing death god at that time.
That is, both parties often dream of each other when they are dreaming, and the dreams are very clear, just like the real thing; everything they do in the dream really affects the other world, and the other party's dream will also affect their own world - this is what Komachi discovered when she woke up one day and found a certificate of Shiki-sama hanging on the wall. It seems that Hongji is working very hard there.
(Li Zheng once wanted to name this effect "Your Name" effect in Veins' database, but later Xiaohui used the secondary administrator's authority to forcibly change it to "Dream Butterfly" effect.)
Later, after Veins was connected, Komachi discovered that there were so many worlds, and even the girl in the dream was in a certain world, so she developed a method to use the power of Veins and Xiaohui to let Chiruhime exchange bodies with herself, and then run to another world to fish.
At the same time, there were other Hanahime and corresponding people or monsters who were connected at the same time. In theory, they could all use this method to come to this world, but only Komachi used this trick the most diligently.
"Ah? So soon this time?" Komachi looked at Xiaohui in front of her with an awkward expression. After the half-spiritual girl showed her the angry email from Shiki Eiki, she looked like she was about to face a disaster: "It's over, doesn't Master Shiki like Hongji very much?"
"No matter how much you like her, you wouldn't want your subordinates to slack off every day, right? Do you want to save King Yanluo's face?" Another duel elf next to Xiaohui jumped out and said, "Besides, she has heard that you not only slack off, but you work harder to earn extra money than your main job. Ah!"
"Sakura-hime? Who told you that?"
"Miss Yuyuko, she talks to me every day, saying that Shiki Ei-hime's patience with you is almost at its limit."
This spirit is "Sakura-hime Talia". Like "Benji Chiru-hime", she also had the "Dream Butterfly" effect, and the target was Saigyouji Yuyuko, the princess of Baiyulou. When she changed her body, she saluted Yuyuko's servant, Youmu, who was also a half-spirit like Xiaohui, and this salute scared poor Youmu.
"The salary of Yama Palace civil servants is fixed, but the extra income is increasing. Moreover, sometimes you can extort money from souls that have registered Veins... Oh no, it's a bounty of Veins points, which is not easy to earn..." Carrying the Grim Reaper's scythe, Komachi took a deep breath: "Forget it, after this job, I will retire and never slack off again."
"'Extort' and 'ask' have similar meanings, why do you change them? And why do I feel like you have set a flag... Don't let anything happen, if something happens to you, my poor sister will never come back." Sakura sighed speechlessly, and then said to Xiaohui: "Are we there, master?"
It turned out that Xiaohui had been standing on the river bank since Sakura came out, and it seemed that she was planning to cross the river here.
"We're here, take me across." Xiao Hui stepped lightly onto Komachi's boat: "I'll go alone later."
Sakuraji was obviously a little worried: "Don't you need us to follow you?"
"No, this is the underworld. After crossing the river, it's the world of the dead. You can't use your power." Xiao Hui shook her head and said: "And Komachi also knows that the underworld of this world is not peaceful."
These are just polite words. The flower princesses who often stay with the undead know that Xiao Hui can call on the power of the "undead world" at any time to make them feel at ease in the underworld.
She just wants to act alone.
"Ah, a underworld where heroes fight for hegemony is really rare." Komachi shrugged, and then began to take Xiao Hui across the Forgotten River: "Thinking about it this way, Master Shiki is still quite great."
"Who are you going to see over there?" Sakuraji was still a little worried.
"The dead souls of the Olihagang Empire, confirm something." Xiaohui's boat went farther and farther, but her voice did not change: "By the way, knock a few guys, so that they can stop making trouble here."
"By the way? Knock? Why?"
"Li Zheng doesn't like it."

"So many vampires..."
In the off-road vehicle, Xiaomao looked at the legendary creatures in the distance and felt that her three views were overturned. [Vampires?! Am I really living in the real world? Could it be that I fell into the game world and can't escape?! ]
After pinching her thigh tightly, Sakura Mei found that she had to face this fact now.
[This trip to the UK is really the worst decision I have made in my life...no one else! 】
"What are they doing?" Ojiaou thought of Camilla who was causing trouble in the Duel Academy. "Why do vampires gather together when it is rare to see them normally?"
["It's simple, they are looking for food."] Li Zheng's voice came in time: ["The blood clans that can survive to this day are often able to suppress their instinct to look for food, otherwise they would have been killed by humans long ago."]
["Then they..."]
["There are always some things that blood clans cannot resist, so they gather from all over the world."] Li Zheng swiped his Veins panel and pointed out an item to the girl: ["It just so happens that there are similar items in Veins. Let's take a look at the introduction."]
