"Oh? What emotions?" Haoyun asked in surprise. He didn't expect Liu Erwa to voluntarily confess the secret hidden in his heart. Moreover, this secret was another major reason why he became an evil spirit.

Seeing that the four adults didn't blame him for deliberately concealing another reason for becoming an evil spirit, but instead showed satisfaction and encouragement when he wanted to confess the truth, Liu Erwa mustered up the courage to continue, "Besides feeling unlucky about our fate and becoming an evil spirit, I was also frustrated because I was too weak to protect my parents but couldn't help in the battle. Of course, what made me resentful the most were those despicable invaders. They forcibly occupied our land, killed our compatriots. It was they, with the help of traitors, who exposed my parents' whereabouts. It was their army that shot me and my father, and forced my mother to commit suicide by jumping into a well!"

"So, after I died, I not only didn't want to leave my parents, but also wanted to seek revenge for them and for myself. Especially for the enemy who shot my father and me, I really hoped to find them and dismember them into pieces!"

After saying these words, Liu Erwa began to pant heavily, looking very distressed. Obviously, the resentment buried in his heart for a long time was triggering the negative energy inside him. However, since Liu Erwa was currently in Judge Yan's hall, the powerful holy power suppressed his negative energy as soon as it emerged.

After Master Gu guided Liu Erwa to suppress his negative energy, Judge Yan asked solemnly, "So, if you can find the culprit who killed you and your parents, you will seek revenge, right?"

Liu Erwa lowered his head and dared not speak. Although Liu Erwa knew that he had become a prisoner in the Underworld, and there was no possibility of seeking revenge on the enemies who killed him, he was just a young ghost transformed from a child's soul. However, he couldn't hide his inner thoughts like an adult. Therefore, although Liu Erwa expressed his fear of Judge Yan and claimed that he would never dare to cause trouble in the mortal world again, the others could still sense a sense of unwillingness and anger in his fearful and disappointed expression.

Seeing Liu Erwa's somewhat dejected will, Judge Yan nodded and said, "Hmm, since that's the case, it's even more necessary for us to review your previous life."

Haoyun was also curious about how Judge Yan would proceed to review Liu Erwa's past life. But just as Haoyun turned to ask Master Gu beside him, a strange middle-aged man with a not-so-tall figure, a greenish big tortoiseshell on his back, and wearing a robe with a certain technological sense suddenly appeared in Haoyun's field of vision.

The man walked with somewhat limping steps and hurriedly ran to greet Judge Yan, "Greetings to Judge Yan, Master Gu, Dao Lao, and, uh, this adult I've never seen before. Sorry to keep you waiting! Hehe, hehe!"

Judge Yan responded with a sound of acknowledgment. Then he introduced to Haoyun, "This is the curator of our Underworld Archives, responsible for recording and organizing the deeds of souls in the mortal realm. You can call him Tu Ye, or Baguo."

"Tu Ye? Baguo? Isn't your full name... Tu Baguo?" Haoyun asked with some confusion.

"Ah, this adult is indeed sharp and perceptive. Yes, I am indeed Tu Baguo." With two trimmed mustaches and wearing steampunk-style sunglasses, the middle-aged man guessed that his full name had been figured out by Haoyun in an instant, and quickly praised him admiringly.

Haoyun couldn't help but feel speechless. I say, mate, isn't your name a bit too... extraordinary? It seems like the priests of the Underworld are quite casual when it comes to naming?

Master Gu noticed Haoyun's puzzled expression and hurriedly explained, "Hahaha, Baguo's original name was Tudali, a member of the Turtle Clan. But due to a chance encounter, while recording the life of a soul in his past life, which happened to be a famous animator of a cartoon about rabbits, Baguo learned a lot about the content of that cartoon. As a result, Baguo unexpectedly became a fan of that cartoon and regarded rabbits as the most admirable creatures. So, since then, Baguo has become a loyal fan of that cartoon and named himself 'Tu Baguo.'"

Haoyun couldn't help but comment, "Wow! So, it seems like the Underworld is a big fan club, huh? Among the three priests I've officially met, two of them are fanatics."

"Huh? How can Baguo be considered a fanatic? He's almost crossed the line of being a fanatic! By the way, we also have a priest who works with women because before she was promoted to a priest, she was a rabbit person from the Rabbit Star. So her image is a rabbit person."

"As a result, because of that cartoon, Baguo fell in love with that rabbit girl and has been pestering her for countless years in order to pursue her. Hmph! How can he compare to me, a pure fanatic? I only communicate spiritually with my goddess and never disturb the lives of my goddesses. I would never harass other sisters who resemble my two goddess sisters endlessly just to pursue stars!" Master Gu looked down on Tu Baguo very disdainfully and tried to make his own fan behavior look more healthy and positive.

（Watching Haoyun and his companions passionately debating how to demonstrate themselves as qualified fanatics, Judge Yan rubbed the black line on his forehead, expressing, "Comrade author, look at them. Are these people going too far off-topic? I'm here discussing serious matters. My dignified and solemn demeanor as a judge of the underworld is almost being overshadowed by these guys. Can't you control them?"

The author shook his head in refusal. "Ah! Actually, I don't want it this way either! But, a moderate diversion is beneficial for health and contributes to social harmony. Besides, they are not suitable for sticking to the plot. How can I meet the word count? Uh, cough, cough, I mean, how can I enrich the plot and make it more vivid?"

In response to the author's remarks, Judge Yan expressed deep disdain and protested with gestures.）

Seeing Master Gu and Tu Baguo about to escalate their argument over who is the superior fan, which was about to lead to a showdown over their idols, Judge Yan quickly cleared his throat and suggested with a solemn tone, "Um, cough, cough, it's getting late, my esteemed colleagues. Let's deal with official business as soon as possible! After resolving Liu Erwa's matter, you two can proceed with your duel."

Why did Judge Yan merely suggest instead of sternly stopping Master Gu and Tu Baguo's antics in the judgment hall? Because Judge Yan himself also wanted to join the fun and see who would emerge victorious from this showdown (aka cockfight). Even Dao Lao, who had been quietly standing aside, shared the same sentiment. Although Dao Lao was coldly watching the verbal battle between the two, he had already placed his bets with Judge Yan on whether Master Gu or Tu Baguo would win.

Well, Haoyun shrugged, even with Old Dao added, two out of the four priests he had officially met were fanatics. However, this didn't change the fact that all four priests were a bit crazy. Haoyun's overall impression of the spirit world once again veered off course by a considerable margin.

Fortunately, everyone knew they had work to do, so after Judge Yan's reminder, the several senior priests immediately quieted down.

Then, Tu Baguo casually pulled out a retro-style film projector from somewhere behind him, along with two red wires resembling ECG leads and a small jug, saying, "Normally, after a soul is extradited to the upper realm, we would feed it the Revival Divine Water."

Tu Baguo shook the small jug in his hand and continued, "After drinking the Revival Divine Water, the soul will revert to its original form and regain memories of each past life. Then, the employees of our Underworld Archives will record the experiences of each of its lifetimes from the soul's first-person perspective. After we finish our work, the Extradition Management Center will evaluate the soul's next destination based on its experiences in the previous life, combined with its experiences from before. "

"Tu Baguo, is this Revival Divine Water the same as what we call Meng Po Soup?" Haoyun asked, looking at the jug with a strong Nordic style.

"Of course not," Tu Baguo shook his head. "I know what you're talking about, that Meng Po Soup. That thing is just something you guys made up out of thin air. The real Meng Po Soup, or the Revival Divine Water in our Underworld, won't make you forget everything from your past life. The past life of any creature, whether good or bad, is a treasure of the spirit world. It's an important reference for them to reflect on themselves, find problems, and improve themselves. It's also a crucial basis for judging whether a soul is eligible for promotion to a holy spirit. Therefore, after drinking the Revival Divine Water, the soul will not lose its memory. On the contrary, it will awaken all memories from each past life."

"Of course, before providing the Revival Divine Water to a soul, the priests of the Extradition Management Center must first determine whether the target soul has completely let go of its experiences from the previous life. In principle, a soul that hasn't completely let go of its past experiences cannot take the Revival Divine Water. Because, this might lead to the amplification of any lingering attachment to the past life due to knowledge of every past life, which is a very dangerous situation. The soul might enter a state of extreme chaos due to stimulation and eventually be destroyed completely. Once a soul is destroyed, it will release a large amount of negative energy. This negative energy is not only difficult for the spirit world to digest but also has a negative impact on the stability of the spirit world."

"Because, as you know, there's a rule in the spirit world that we must not easily interfere with the behavior of any living being to avoid affecting the balance of the spirit world. Therefore, unless there are extremely special circumstances, we naturally wouldn't interfere with problematic souls until they have entered a neutral state without any attachments. "

At this point, Tu Baguo's tone became somewhat helpless. "So, once we encounter a soul that clings to its past life and refuses to let go, we can only temporarily detain it. Then, after the sacred power of the spirit world influences the soul and helps it let go of all attachments to the past life, we can feed it the Revival Divine Water and send it on a new journey."

Then, Tu Baguo pointed to Liu Erwa with the wires in his hand and continued, "Liu Erwa belongs to this special category of souls. Since he has not yet met the requirements for drinking the Revival Divine Water, we have not been able to record his experiences from the previous life to this day. So, for now, we can only let him drink the Revival Divine Water on the spot and retrieve his experiences from the previous life on the spot."

"But, if Liu Erwa hasn't let go of his attachment to the previous life, how can he drink the Revival Divine Water?" Haoyun asked with some concern.

"In principle. Didn't I just say it?" Tu Baguo emphasized.

"But, everything has exceptions! After all, we just want to know what happened to him before and after his death in the previous life. So, as long as we control the dosage of the Revival Divine Water and only awaken and record his experiences during this period, there shouldn't be any problem." Tu Baguo continued to explain.
