The Awakened King of Hell and the Confused Meng Po

"Why should his family have to pay for his mistake? They're innocent!"

"Innocent? No one in this world is innocent. Not one snowflake is innocent in an avalanche."

"You cold-blooded killer!"

"I haven't killed anyone. I never even performed the act of 'killing.'"

"But they're dead! Dead! They were perfectly fine just a moment ago, and now they're dead! You're not human! You're not human!"

"You're right... I'm not human."

"How shameless! If you're not human, then what are you?"

"I'm Yanluo, King of Hell!"

"What? You... you... you're crazy. Then why aren't you in your own hell, instead of rampaging through the human world and killing innocent people?"

"The 'hell' you speak of doesn't exist. Neither does the human world. The human world is hell: 'a living hell.' All right, Meng Po, it's time for you to awaken."
