C34 (2/2)

I looked up and saw dark shapes falling from the sky, about to hit me on the head. I was scared out of my wits. Right at this moment, Black Wuchang suddenly rushed over, grabbed me and ran far away in a flash, finally dodging the things above my head.

What the hell is this? I looked over in shock. It was actually a tower, one after another, with a few bundles of steel ropes. Where did this thing come from?

Suddenly, I thought of a person. His vulgar smile appeared in front of me, it was the Paper-man Zhang. After the thirst had been distant hydrolyzed, the image of the Paper-man Zhang in my mind became as big as a timely rain.

I was excited, the Paper-man Zhang was perfect. It must have been after I left that he thought I couldn't put the bridge on the river without the tower, so he burned it down.

”Ghost friends, our reinforcements have arrived. Assemble the suspension towers and lift the bridges onto the river!”

I don't need to say this, ghosts naturally knows what to do. However, even with so many people, they were unable to resist the Black and White Impermanence's spell. It was as if the universe had teleported. One tower after another was stacked together with the waves of mourning.

I slapped my head. It was the iron bridge, not the tower.

In about ten minutes, the four towers were secured to the riverbank.

I jumped onto the Karma Stone and said to Mighty Miracle God and the two hacker guys, ”Let us borrow some light, let us borrow some light. I want to command the suspension bridge here!”

Mighty Miracle God helplessly brought his people down the Karma Stone, disappearing into the pile of souls. I pointed at the tower and said, ”Who knows how to use the tower? Four ghost friends!”

Needless to say more, seven or eight dead men who knew how to open a suspension tower floated up. One of them opened it while the other squatted beside it as a staff officer. The first and second pilots were all fit.

I waved my hand. ”Lift!”

When the New Neijo Bridge, which resembled the Tower Bridge on the Thames, was hoisted up, the one hundred and twenty million ghosts in the audience held their breath. I was the only one who spoke. ”Number 1 goes left, number 4 goes right!” ”Yes, that's it, straighten the rope —” ”Yes, keep it, keep it, that's it, very good —”

The iron bridge was hoisted up, and the crane arm slowly extended the iron bridge until it reached the middle of the river, then crossed the river and slowly lowered it.

With a ”Clang dang” sound, the entire riverbank began to tremble. It was done, the Bridge of Helplessness was placed right on top of the original Bridge of Helplessness, right next to the Karma Stone, just like before. Cheers erupted from all around them, like the tides of the ocean. All the ghosts s started shouting excitedly.

Grandma Meng was the first to step onto the Bridge of Helplessness. He was slightly agitated as her hands trembled. She didn't know if it was due to the aftereffects of the ferry or something like that. He touched the custom-made watchtower and the metal table on which Grandma Meng's soup was placed, she was so excited that he sobbed silently.

I heaved a sigh of relief and took out my phone. ”There's actually still three more minutes until 12 o'clock,” I taunted Mighty Miracle God, who was coming down from the Karma Stone.

”This time, it's your win,” Mighty Miracle God said to me, ”Let's wait and see!” With that, he led the two hacker guys away.

I couldn't be bothered with him. Even if I asked him for help now, it would be just asking to be humiliated. I simply did not see it. Standing on top of the Karma Stone, I shouted to the souls below, ”Today — we have won!”

Countless ghosts were already sobbing in excitement, just like Grandma Meng. Under countless mocking gazes, the Mighty Miracle God dejectedly left.

I jumped down from the Karma Stone and said to White Impermanence, who was beside me, ”Immerse all four of the pagodas into the river. I don't want anyone to secretly take the Bridge of Helplessness away.”

White Impermanence nodded and agreed.

After finishing my business at the Bridge of Helplessness, I felt exhausted and sat on the Karma Stone with my tongue sticking out. There's still 33 miles to go back to the Yellow Springs. Damn, I don't have the energy to walk anymore.

The ghosts was dispersing in groups of two and three. I looked at the arrogant Old Man Lee who was about to leave from his palanquin and quickly stopped him.

”Master Li,” I said, ”have your palanquin take me back to the hall of the underworld.”

Old Man Lee looked troubled, ”But I only have one,” he said as he glanced at me, seeing that my expression was normal, he continued, ”My arms and legs are old, Lord Yama will bear to see me walk back!”

In front of all these people, I still have to consider my own image. ”I smiled,” Of course I can't bear to, ”after saying that, I leaned over and whispered into Old Man Lee's ears,” You old thing, don't make me go back to the mortal world and find your wife in the Village Chen to expose you. ”When the time comes, I'll see who can return you the burning paper.”

Old Man Lee's face instantly turned pale, and he almost couldn't stand properly, he was entirely supported by the fully-developed female servant. Master, I can't lend you the sedan! ” Old Man Lee finally gave in.

After arranging the Black and White Impermanence so that they could continue their follow-up work. I proudly sat on the sedan chair and said to the four black-clothed attendants who were carrying the sedan, ”Let's get up, Hades Hall!”

Brushing out Netherworld from the Yama Hall, he finally let out a sigh of relief. The sun was shining outside and Mu Ge'er was already up. When he saw me coming out, he urged me to go buy some big buns. Right now, Mu Ge'er's love for stuffed buns has already surpassed mine.
