Chapter 724 He Must Feel Terrible
“This kid hasn’t awakened?” The old man’s tone rose, but he was afraid others would overhear. “Miss, this is quite serious. If he hasn’t reported to the underworld, he’ll be punished if caught.”
For some spirits who had just passed away, accepting their death was usually difficult. In the first seven days, they would try everything possible to return to their bodies.
Some, realizing they couldn’t return, would try to possess others, hoping for a chance at a new life. But to do so, they had to avoid the underworld guards‘ notice.
The events of a person’s life were all recorded in the underworld ledger.
When a person breathed his last, the underworld guards would appear to capture his spirit and then take it to register for their awakening
Spirits who hadn’t awakened would continue to linger in the human realm. They would easily be
influenced by the surrounding emotions, leading to resentment. The longer they stayed, the heavier the resentment grew.
These spirits could then turn into evil spirits. If resentment continued to escalate during this period, the evil spirit might become a malevolent spirit.
Leo and the twins were perfect examples.
Hence, it was important for spirits to register in the underworld and then get scheduled for rebirth.
For those unable to be reborn, they would undergo punishment first. Those who had committed numerous sins in life would face judgment after death.
Some spirits were afraid of punishment, so they were reluctant to register for consciousness awakening.
Many people would pass away each year. It was normal for there to be three or four spirits escaping during busy times for the underworld.
However, they couldn’t get away for too long.
The old man suggested, “Miss, it’s better to have him awakened sooner rather than later. He can always come out again after registration if he has any unfinished business.”
At that moment, an elderly woman passed by and said, “Miss, you guys haven’t been dead long, have you? I can still smell your human scent.
“Don’t act recklessly about this matter. We all have seven days to go back and see our family, anyway. The first seven days are like our holidays. You don’t have to rush back now.”
As the elderly woman spoke, several spirits nearby nodded in agreement. Otherwise, if they turned Into evil spirits, they would be marked down by the underworld guards and might even be reborn as animals.
Another helpful spirit also tried to persuade Wynter. “Everything is digitized nowadays. It’s easy to check Miss, you really can’t hide from the underworld guards.”

Wynter seemed quite popular among the spirits.
Wolf stood there, resisting the urge to gulp everything down in one go.
The spirits thought he was just shy and didn’t like to talk. Well, Wolf indeed couldn’t speak, but when he opened his mouth, it wasn’t just about speaking.
This misunderstanding was quite delightful, to the point where Leo’s heart was pounding anxiously.
“Alright, I understand what you mean. Thank you all,” Wynter said as she pushed Cody forward.
She turned back to the man from before. “Sir, I’ll need you to think carefully about where he came from. Only then can I know where to take him once I’ve registered him.”
The old man was reminiscing. Memories after death weren’t as clear as when one was alive, but Cody left a deep impression on him. Cody had said he boarded the wrong train somewhere.
“Swinford! This kid came from Swinford. He said many people were being suppressed by something there. They were waiting for him to come back and save them.
“He must hurry and not forget. He repeated that phrase all night. Yes, that’s it!”
The old man looked into Cody’s eyes with pity. “He was muttering that all the way, not eating or drinking. but he still forgot. He must be feeling terrible.”
