Chapter 286: Zhi Anming’s Identity

The moment Zhi Anming saw that sword from Qin An, a familiarity rushed on him that made him completely frozen. His eyes alternately look at the sword and to Qin An with his pupils dilating in disbelief and horror.

That sword! That sword! He’s very familiar with it!

In the past, one of the senior grim reapers told them about someone who was always regarded as someone who’s very high due to his outstanding and cold personality.

That grim reaper was named as No.444. They told him about how he was always one of the top seniors in the underworld given his immense strength and endless hard work. He was also known for his lone and indifferent cold personality. He’s very mysterious and rarely seen around.

Zhi Anming and his friends of course admired that senior and wanted to personally meet him, yet before they could, they heard that he suddenly just disappeared.

At the beginning they thought that maybe he was just somewhere hidden and was just doing his usual fighting and work but after such a long time, they weren’t able to catch any glimpse of him.

Zhi Anming felt it was very unfortunate not to meet such a legendary figure in the underworld. The only remarkable thing that he saw was a photo of that ancient sword. Even with only that sight, it just remained in his memory.

It was colored in pitch black like an obsidian with golden runes that were carved as if entangling the sword with powerful magic embedded on it. And even if it’s just a sword, he felt that it has its own temperament— extremely sharp, dangerous and exudes deep seething coldness that penetrates straight to the soul.

It was very very unfortunate for him that he didn’t have the chance to see it personally— until today.

And it looks like it’s not just the ancient sword but even the owner, the senior grim reaper No.444 of the underworld.

He really couldn’t believe it.

He was just a normal junior grim reaper who was like any of his normal colleagues who had been living freely in the human world while doing their job. He wasn’t like any of the grim reapers who had been constantly fighting with many powerful enemies to get more authority and abilities. Let’s just say that he’s one of the laid back that really enjoys his time and job.

And then one day without a warning, he was suddenly called by the Judge himself.

Only himself knows how horrified he was when he just abruptly teleported in front of that familiar hall without any notice. Zhi Anming even planned to desperately beg for mercy if he was sent here due to a mistake that he didn’t know about.

Unexpectedly, the Judge told him to do something.

"The Devil is about to be awakened after his years of reincarnation. I want you to monitor him carefully and see whether he’ll create havoc again in that life."

Only Zhi Anming himself knew how terrified he was upon hearing it. Transporting him to a new place and even wanting him to monitor a devil?! He really wants to cry his heart out in disbelief. Of all grim reapers, why must it be him?!

Zhi Anming was merely an ordinary grim reaper who only thought about being a passerby in every legendary figure. He didn’t even think of seeing them close, how much more on personally getting close to them?! And with such a menacing devil too! Does the Judge want him dead?!

He of course wanted to argue badly but the Judges continued.

"You don’t have to do anything other than just observing his actions. In any case, just check it from afar."

Only checking him from afar is totally what he wanted so even still feeling reluctant, he could only nod. As long as he doesn’t have to interact with him anyway, right? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After that, he was transported into this new world and actually became a human. Having watched many human movies in the past, he quickly adjusted to his new life and even found some friends. It’s just one thing that he still hasn’t done was the job that the Judge told him to.

Who is the Devil? Where is he? The Judge told him that the Devil was reincarnated but out of the millions of people here in interstellar, who is he?

Zhi Anming panicked but couldn’t really do anything, so he could only constantly watch some news if there’s anything that happened around any parts of the world in hopes to find a clue.

But after months, still nothing. Additionally, he didn’t even know how to contact the underworld. This world doesn’t seem to have contact with his past world so he really doesn’t know how to continue this new life.

Until he saw the Marshal, He Li.

He was unlike the people he knew in this world. He was very strong and had a very peculiar temperament that caught his attention.

He was like that legendary grim reaper that he only knew in the stories. Looking very majestic and someone who is definitely destined to be on the top.

He was just initially amazed and that’s all, but there was an incident when he happened to personally see him. And there, he quickly saw that strange dark energy around him.

It was too different from the people around him. It looks darker and screams danger.

Zhi Anming noticed the demonic energy inside him.

He became suspicious and to verify the bad premonition inside him, thus when there was a chance to get close to him, he quickly grabbed it without a second thought.

Much to his delight, he even found out about Qin An’s identity and thought at first that he was just like him who was sent by the Judge who he was very enthusiastic about.

Who would have thought that in the next second, he’ll actually see that ancient sword that he thought was just a myth?

Seeing the senior grim reaper that he had been idolized about ever since, he wanted to be delighted with joy thinking that maybe he can help with his mission.

But when his eyes happened to land in a certain direction, his body turned deadly cold.

What his eyes are seeing right now was not just the senior grim reaper but someone who’s standing beside him was also very familiar to him.

It was not the Marshal standing beside Qin An, but a devil.
