Chapter 726 in Deep Trouble
Upon hearing Grim’s words, Leo and the twins exchanged glances. They silently agreed that Grim was in deep trouble.
The lord of the underworld was right there.
Though they weren’t worried, others were.
Some spirits who had left returned and pleaded, “Sir, look at the kid’s attire. It’s obvious that he didn’t pass away recently. Can’t you cut him some slack and let them register two days later?”
Vesper also noticed Cody’s peculiar outfit, but underworld guards had their rules.
“Whatever he wants to do, we’ll escort him. Even if he’s a heroic spirit, once he leaves his designated area before officially receiving the title, he’ll attract resentment, which isn’t good for the living.”
Cody was at a loss at this point.
Pass awau
spirit? Did that mean he was dead?
He looked at his hands and realized they were still intact and unharmed.
No, something didn’t feel right.
He pressed his hand against his head, and his eyes started to turn slightly red.
Seeing this, Grim was ready to act, but his iron chain seemed to have a mind of its own. He couldn’t swing it, no matter how hard he tried.
Grim raised his hand, but the iron chain pulled him backward.
All the objects in the underworld were imbued with spiritual energy, often housing famous spirits throughout history.
Grim’s iron chain could lock away all spirits, good or evil. But a situation like today’s was unprecedented.

Dumbfounded, Grim threatened in a low voice, “What’s going on with you?”
As he said that, he was about to swing the chain again.
At that moment, Dalton, who was standing nearby, lifted his eye casually.
Grim’s iron chain suddenly turned around and ran away!
Not only was Grim shocked, but even the nearby spirits were astounded. It was the first time they had seen a soul–locking chain run away on its own.
Grim and Vesper were both bewildered.
Vesper’s tablet completely crashed. There was no way he could continue working.
What was going on? What was so special about this heroic spirit that even the underworld objects were. afraid of him?

Grim and Vesper were losing it. How could something like this happen during their shift?
“Is the system malfunctioning?”
“How would I know? I’m not a technician.”
“This is getting ridiculous. Hold on, Grim, why is your name in the Ledger of Souls?”
Vesper waved his tablet around, catching the attention of a breakfast cart attendant passing by.
It was quite a scene at the bustling train station entrance. Even if a living person witnessed it, they’d probably just think they were seeing some overworked employee going mad and toiling away at any and any place.

The attendant couldn’t bear to see a young man like this. “Young man, calm down. Don’t these electronic devices have backups? Look, your friends are still waiting for you to check in at the station.
“Why not get some coffee first? The earliest train isn’t leaving for another half an hour, and the food stalls inside the station aren’t open yet.”
The underworld guards froze at her words.
It should be noted that underworld guards were not allowed to appear in front of the living. Violating this rule meant either forfeiting ten years‘ worth of salary or enduring an additional hundred years of service in the underworld.
After all, underworld guards were humans once.
They tried to keep up appearances, pretending the attendant wasn’t addressing them but the people next
to them.
Vesper turned around and said, “Hey, she’s asking if you guys want coffee.”
