The Underworld Demolition Office

Infinite-horror games are running rampant in the human world, causing countless souls to go missing in a short time.

To crack down on illegal dungeons and protect the living, the Underworld dispatches its strongest vengeful ghost, Yan Huai, to the human world. There, he urgently establishes the Underworld Demolition Bureau and launches forced demolitions against every infinite-horror dungeon.

The Underworld: Those infinite-horror bosses seem like they might be something else. Be extra careful.

Yan Huai: Wrong. There are other ghosts who need to be careful.

When the infinite-horror bosses first heard rumors about the Underworld Demolition Bureau, they all took it as a joke.

The Underworld? What kind of third-rate little organization is that? Never even heard of it!

And it thinks it can demolish their infinite-horror dungeons? Who does it think it is?

With utter contempt, the infinite-horror bosses stuck out a finger from their lofty heights, planning to crush the tiny demolition bureau on the spot.

Who could have guessed that the members of this little bureau would each be more outrageously powerful than the last?

The Lord of Rules wrote an unsolvable rules-based horror story, hoping to trap them all inside.

Yan Huai: Close the door. Release Taotie!

And so the ferocious beast, its eyes gleaming green, crunched up the Lord's supposedly indestructible power of rules in a single bite.

Taotie: Yummy!

The Lord of Rules fell apart on the spot. How could its great power of rules be something you could eat?!

The Lord of Domains enclosed its territory with maxed-out defenses, intent on fighting the Underworld Demolition Bureau over land ownership.

Yan Huai: Close the door. Release the demolition crew!

And so its ironclad domain was blasted into a heap of rubble by a barrage of immortal techniques that didn't cost a thing.

The Lord of Domains: I thought the human world had entered the Dharma-Ending Age and there were no gods left! Can anyone tell me where those cultivators came from?!

The cultivators: Hehe, our ghosts are still in the Underworld waiting to be reincarnated. Bet you didn't expect that~

Terrified, the bosses turned their attention to the demolition bureau's director, who looked like the weakest of them all. But Yan Huai tore off his human skin, and as ghostly energy soared into the sky, one hundred thousand vengeful ghosts emerged from the netherworld, waiting for his orders.

The red-haired vengeful ghost stomped them into the ground and looked down at them scornfully. “I was already the Ghost King a thousand years ago, before you were even born.”

Only when the red-haired vengeful ghost completely broke free of his seal did the bosses realize just how terrifying a being they had provoked...

The players who had suffered at the hands of the infinite-horror games once thought the end of humanity was at hand.

Then, one day, a miracle happened.

Xuanwu, Dit-ing, Taotie... Meng Po, the Giant Spirit God, the Mountain God...

The legendary gods of China returned to the human world, protecting this land overrun by monsters.

The players were moved to tears: So we have gods looking out for us too! Thank you, Underworld Demolition Bureau! We're saved!

But as the bureau's name became more and more widely known, a post appeared on the players' forum:

[Title: Does anyone know what the relationship is between the director of the Underworld Demolition Bureau and the Great Emperor of Fengdu? Why can I chant a prayer summoning the gods for ages without borrowing the Great Emperor's divine power, but the director only has to call out a name and the Great Emperor appears in a flash?]

Anonymous Answer 1: Don't ask. It's just workplace favoritism.

Anonymous Answer 2: No way, are there still people who don't know? These two ghosts act all proper as superiors and subordinates during the day, then secretly sleep together at night! I'm a house ghost. I saw it with my own eyes from under the bed!
