Chapter 693: Junior Master's Night Trial of Ghosts
Li Ke looked at the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil, the Black and White Impermanence in front of him, then looked at the dead ghost who had been pressed in front of the table, waiting for him in official uniform to judge him, and quickly slapped his face with his hands.
"No, I am just an ordinary person..."
He doesn't think he is qualified.
"Look at what you said. If we hadn't received the order from above, how would we dare to look for you? And after you have accumulated enough merit and practiced enough here, you can go to the underworld to see your mother."
Li Ke's hand paused. Although he was sure that the mother in this body did not die because of his absorption of nutrients, there was no doubt that Li Ke felt somewhat guilty.
"……All right."
It’s just solving a case. Although I haven’t learned it, I’m so knowledgeable now, so I think it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Besides, isn’t there a ghost to cover the situation?
Shaking his head, Li Ke put on his official uniform and sat down.
Immediately, the guard pulled out the gag from the kneeling man's mouth. Li Ke cleared his throat, slammed the gavel, and asked directly in a childish voice.
"Who in the hall is suing me?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone present looked at Li Ke in astonishment, and Li Ke coughed awkwardly and slammed the gavel again.
There was no way, the line was too catchy, so he just recited it as soon as he sat down. This was entirely out of habit, and had nothing to do with whether Li Ke felt guilty or not!
And he spoke again.
"Why are you here, my friends?"
However, he once again received confused and puzzled looks from others, but fortunately the ghosts below reacted quickly and spoke immediately.
"My Lord! Lord Yama! I feel so wronged! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I cannot die! My Lord! I cannot die!"
Forehead?
Li Ke tilted his head in confusion, and at this moment, the judge with a gloomy face whispered into his ear.
"Well, sir, you are here to deal with the deeds of the ghost in his lifetime, so as to determine his punishment, reincarnation , return to the living, and many other matters. Here, I can tell you what he did in his lifetime and when he was supposed to die, and the mirror can reflect what he was thinking when he did those things. But generally speaking, the punishment here is to make them understand whether they are wrong or not."
After saying this, he returned to his original position calmly.
But these words shocked Li Ke. He looked at the ghost who was still crying below, then looked at the book in the judge's hand and the mirror on the side. Then he thought for a while, slammed the gavel again, and asked.
"Your Highness! How did you die?"
The dead ghost who was pressed down was stunned for a moment, and then howled again.
"I died unjustly! I just owed them ten years of wages and slept with their daughter, but they smashed my head with a stone and then divided my property with other unruly people! Lord Yama! You must help me!"
Li Ke nodded, looked at the dead ghost who was crying heart-wrenchingly, and smiled.
Then, when this bastard thought he could get the support of the master, Li Ke stood up from the stool, picked up the gavel on the side and planned to climb onto the table, then jump up and use the gavel to hit him on the head.
Then the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil rushed over quickly and hugged Li Ke, who was about to go berserk.
"Fuck you! He owed me wages for ten years and even slept with someone else's daughter. Fuck you, both of you get out of my way. I'm going to teach this bastard a lesson today!"
Li Ke really wanted to kill the guy in front of him, but the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon held him tightly, so he had no choice but to use his own hands to smash the gavel in the other person's head.
The judge on the side hurried over.
"Little King of Hell, calm down, little King of Hell, calm down... Although this person deserves to die, he still has to go through the process."
The judge felt that the person their superiors had asked them to find was truly a man of good character. Generally speaking, the King of Hell would go berserk after having interrogated thousands of dead ghosts, but the person in front of him was the first one to start hitting people. He was worthy of being the person their superiors had asked them to find, and was indeed a first-class good man.
Li Ke calmed down after hearing this. Although he didn't know that this job was given to him by that bastard, since it was the rule of heaven and earth, he should still respect it.
He stopped struggling, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons let go of his body. He squatted obediently on his stool, while a ghost had already returned the bloody gavel, leaving only the wailing ghost in place.
At this time, the judge suddenly opened the Book of Life and Death in his hand, and the guy who kept wailing and said that he was the prince's man was also dragged into the range of the mirror.
Then Li Ke saw more outrageous scenes.
Having only seen what this guy did when he was twelve years old, Li Ke rolled up the sleeves of his official robe again.
"No need to look at it, it's the eighteen levels of hell, but before that, use whatever punishment you have on me!"
Li Ke looked at the stick tube on the side, pulled out a stick at random, and after seeing that it was cut in half, he casually threw it on the ground.
The judge wanted to stop him but was too late, and he didn't dare to catch the stick that Li Ke threw out. He could only watch it fall to the ground.
Then Li Ke looked through the lottery box again and found that it was nothing more than some kind of torture such as quartering and water torture. So he got angry and threw all the lottery sticks out of the box the moment the judge turned his head.
The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil, as well as the Black and White Impermanence were all shocked, but the little devils were still loyal and pulled the guy aside to start the execution.
The judge stared at Li Ke's action in amazement, unable to speak for a long time. He walked tremblingly to Li Ke's side and pulled the sleeve of Li Ke who was about to see how the ghost was cut in half.
"Well, Lord Yan Jun, this is not how the case is tried or sentenced. You have to follow the rules."
Li Ke was stunned. He had really forgotten about this matter just now. Then he suddenly remembered that he had read something related when he was studying before.
For example, there are rules like those who die unjustly but whose life span has not yet ended must go to the City of Unjust Death and wait until their life span ends before they can leave. However, many rules are not in line with human nature.
The most typical one is the Scissors Hell. The crime for going to the Scissors Hell is that in the world of the living, if a woman's husband unfortunately dies early and she becomes a widow, and you instigate her to remarry or act as a matchmaker for her, then after you die you will be sent to the Scissors Hell and your ten fingers will be cut off.
But this is actually very inhumane.
Li Ke took a look and found that these were really bullshit rules, so he sneered.
"Since I'm the one trying the case, I'll follow my rules!"
But Judge Cui became even more anxious.
"No! This is Lord Haotian..."
But before Judge Cui could finish his words, a loud thunderclap struck the earth, and then two words appeared on the ground.
"Okay."
Cui Pan: “…”
