The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

Chapter 1: Overrun with Ghosts

"Sir Ghost Messenger, when will it be our turn? I have been waiting for sixty-three years. If I don't reincarnate, my soul will die of old age again..."

"Yes, yes. I have also been waiting for fifty-eight years. I was only thirty-six when I died. Now that I have died, I have experienced the feeling of being old."

"You are just waiting now. I have been here for more than 180 years. What did I say? It should be my turn to wait for these old ghosts first. You still have a long way to go!"

"Ah? No way! That would mean you're just waiting to die!"

"I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a day longer."

"That's right, we ghosts have a limited time too. We can't exist forever!"

"Yes, yes! We don't want to wait so many years, Mr. Ghost Messenger, please ask the higher-ups to think of a solution..."

Various tones and dialects merged into one, and the outside of the reincarnation place was crowded with ghosts of all shapes and sizes. Fortunately, due to the requirements from above, the ghosts that could pass the review and come here looked the same as they did when they were alive, and were not scary.

Even though there were a lot of people, there was no crowding because of the drainage guardrails, and they were all lined up in several orderly lines.

To be honest, if their feet were not off the ground and their clothes were not a mix of ancient and modern styles, I would have thought it was the entrance of a bank that was closed that morning.

That’s right, this is the underworld. Ever since the world of the living entered the high-tech age, the underworld has also kept pace with the times and has introduced many modern measures to deal with ghosts.

However, no matter how convenient it is, it cannot outweigh the long wait of being unable to be reborn.

Nowadays, men and women in the world don’t want to get married, and the fertility rate is even more alarming. More and more ghosts are staying, which indirectly doubles the pressure on the underworld.

"Quiet! Quiet! Today's quota is full. The rest of you go back first and come back tomorrow to wait for notification! Go back, go back, we are about to get off work!"

A woman in a silver-gray uniform full of technological color came out and shouted loudly while standing at the door.

This is the staff member in the Reincarnation Office who is responsible for registering the daily reincarnation quota, that is, the ghost messenger of the underworld.

Those who do these relatively trivial tasks are ghosts who have merits, have passed the assessment, have a skill, and are unwilling to reincarnate.

"Ah - another day of waiting in vain! When will it end?"

"That's right, day after day, every day has no beginning or end..."

"..."

After hearing what the ghost messenger said, a new round of complaints began.

The ghost messenger did not stay for long. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. This kind of thing happened every day and they were used to it.

Seeing this, the ghosts no longer wasted their energy and left one after another. The door to the reincarnation place suddenly became quiet.

"Ha——" Xiao Yun yawned, stretched, sat up from the bench, and looked around blankly.

"Off work again? Time flies."

She was also here waiting to be reborn. She knew there were many people queuing ahead of her, so she didn't hold out much hope. She just came here every day to try her luck.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, I heard the voices of two ghost officials talking inside.

Then one of the ghost messengers said, "Do you know? Because there are too many ghosts waiting to be reincarnated, and there are really no vacancies in the human world, the higher-ups have studied and decided to select the best from the best, and let those with special talents or merits reincarnate first."

"What about the rest? Those ghosts are a minority after all, and the majority of the rest can't stay in the underworld forever, right?" said another ghost.

"Of course not. For the rest, we will select those who have been here for a longer time for screening. Those who are qualified will be reincarnated, and those who are unqualified will continue to wait..."

"What screening method?"

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else, this is still confidential."

"Don't worry, I'm the most tight-lipped one!"

"I also heard it from my second uncle. As you know, my second uncle is now one of the judge's assistants. He has access to a lot of first-hand information."

"Yeah, I know, tell me now!"

"Don't worry, I heard from my second uncle that this selection is actually a test, just like the holographic training ground in the human world. Ghosts are put in there and have to survive in ten virtual worlds. Those who pass the test can be reincarnated."

"Is it so advanced? Can we put all the ghosts that need to be screened in there at once? Can the training ground accommodate them all?"

"That's not the case. My second uncle said it's random. He will first select one thousand people who have been stranded in the underworld for more than three hundred years. It all depends on who has better luck. Sometimes luck is also a part of strength..."
