Hell's Handbook

Su Jin walked quickly toward Su Qing. His hands trembled as he took the baby from Su Qing’s hands. The baby in his arms felt so warm but made him so happy.

“What’s wrong?” asked Su Qing a little puzzledly.

“I’m very happy!” Su Jin was really happy and there were even tears in his eyes. But he managed to control his emotions and said to his sister, “I’m sorry for leaving for such a long time.”

“You don’t say! And you left me here to take care of the child all by myself!” She glared angrily at him.

“By the way, where’s Mom and Dad? Didn’t you bring them to see a doctor?” asked Su Qing casually.

“Wait, what?” Su Jin stared blankly at her and finally realized that something wasn’t quite right. The look in Su Qing’s eyes was the first problem. Logically speaking, if he hadn’t seen his sister in ten years, she ought to be very emotional. But she seemed… completely calm, and even said that he had brought their parents to see a doctor? What was that about?

“Damn it!” His hair stood on end as he realized that someone must have impersonated him and lived with his family for the past ten years. It went without saying who that person had to be.

“Su Qing, listen to me! I’M your older brother!” said Su Jin as he grabbed hold of his sister’s shoulders.

She stared at him in confusion and said, “What are you talking about? Of course you’re my older brother. I’ve never questioned that.”

Su Jin shook his head and said anxiously, “Before that, tell me where did I bring our parents to, how long did I go for and what time would they be back?”

Su Qing felt that there was something odd about her brother, so she yelled into the house, “Sis-in-law, come out for a while? I think there’s something wrong with my brother.”

After she said that, a woman came walking out from inside. It turned out to be Su Qing’s classmate, Yang Mengmeng. Su Jin didn’t know how to react at all.

Yang Mengmeng approached them, stared at Su Jin for a moment, then snatched the baby out of his hands before saying to Su Qing, “He’s not my husband!”

Su Qing’s eyes widened in shock. This was such a confusing situation! “What’s going on with both of you? What are you talking about?!”

Su Jin took a deep breath, then said, “She’s right. I’m not her husband, but I’m your older brother.”

The air instantly became extremely awkward and Su Jin didn’t want to waste time explaining things. He stretched his arms out and sent two beams of light into their heads to tell them what had happened to him over the past decade.

A few minutes later, the two women opened their eyes again and stared in horror at Su Jin, because it was too hard for them accept all of this suddenly. Su Jin said in a patient voice, “I know it’s very hard to accept it now, but that’s exactly what’s happened. The man who’s lived with you guys for the past ten years is not me, he’s not the real Su Jin. He just looks like me and has my memories.”

Su Qing took a step back with a horrified look on her face. She frowned and said, “No… I… I can’t believe this… Elder Brother… Elder…” She suddenly widened her eyes and murmured, “Wait. You’re right. The one who has been living with us isn’t my brother.”

“What in the world are you going on about?! How can this be?!” said Yang Mengmeng.

Su Qing looked at Yang Mengmeng and said, “Mengmeng, think about it. If my brother was really that person who had lived quietly all these years slogging it out, how could he possibly have the power to save your mom? And after that incident, I’ve always sensed that something bad happened to my brother. Our family received a huge amount of money and I traced it back to S City where my brother was supposed to be. But after that, my brother reappeared and married you, so I totally forgot about that. Also, I remember meeting a strange person during that time, yet I can’t remember the details at all. It’s all very, very strange!”

“That strange person is Situ Jin, the previous head of the Department of Supernatural Affairs in our country,” said Su Jin.

Su Qing stared blankly at him for two seconds, then nodded slightly and said to Yang Mengmeng, “That’s right. I did go and investigate who he was. His name was indeed Situ Jin.”

Su Jin went on, “The will of the universe has been living as me for the past ten years. I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but it’s a very dangerous situation for you guys.”

Yang Mengmeng still didn’t believe him, so she pulled her phone out to make a call. But before the other side picked up the call, someone sauntered into the house.

“Oh my, my, you came when I wasn’t in! What a troublesome fellow! I’d gotten so used to my current identity and I didn’t mind continuing to live like this, actually.” The person who had come in was the will of the universe.

Yang Mengmeng and Su Qing’s eyes widened as they stared at the second Su Jin in disbelief. Su Jin’s parents who had returned with the will of the universe were also equally confused. How did they end up having two sons now?

Su Jin scoffed and said, “You want to continue living as me? What strange hobbies you have!”

“It can’t be helped. It’s boring to be the will of the universe, you know? Since such an opportunity came rolling along, I wanted to give it a shot and to my surprise, it turned out to be really interesting. To be honest, I think… I’m becoming obsessed!” said the will of the universe with a hearty laugh.

The air around Su Jin’s body turned into the colors of the rainbow as he pulled out his boning knife and swung it toward the will of the universe. The will of the universe did not dare to take him lightly, since Su Jin had powers outside of the Handbook and could do almost anything now. But just when his body was covered in a flash of white, Su Jin swung his blade in the opposite direction.

He had created a tunnel through space that was linked directly to his temple. He pushed Yang Mengmeng and Su Qing in, because letting them stay here was too dangerous. He had to send them elsewhere first.

“You think you can get away?” The will of the universe’s eyes glinted frostily as he made a grab toward the tunnel. A black gas and white gas formed two large hands that tried to pull the two women back.

“Get away!” shouted Su Jin as he swung his blade toward the two hands, shattering them and successfully sending them down the tunnel.

Su Jin proceeded to run toward his parents, but the will of the universe deflected him. His parents were already too shocked by everything to react. The will of the universe looked at the two old folks and chuckled, “Thanks for taking care of me over the past ten years, you’re free to go now!”

With that, he snapped his fingers and Su Jin’s parents immediately turned to ashes that disappeared in the wind.

“NO!” Su Jin bellowed angrily. The colorful rays around his body suddenly grew significantly stronger as he ran even more quickly toward where his parents were standing just now. But he failed to even catch one ash.

The will of the universe and Su Jin were now so close to one another, they could touch each other if they stretched their hands out. The will of the universe smiled as he said, “I like anger. Anger is strength, anger is a clear emotion and anger can be really charming!”

“I’m going to kill you!” Su Jin reached for the will of the universe. The colorful rays around him turned into blazing flames that burned everything around it, transforming the space into a dark, empty place. In the future, no spatial powers could enter it. It became a place that was truly outside of this universe.

“I’ll be waiting for you!” The will of the universe waved his arm and all the houses in the vicinity exploded as gods came dashing out. All of them were current gods who would be dumped like trash once their cycle was destroyed. But the will of the universe had given them a chance. If they remained in this place and killed Su Jin, the one who managed to do that would be treated like one of those geniuses. They would be granted immortality.

Su Jin’s rage continued to burn everything in his way. Colorful rays swirled around his boning knife as he swung it toward the will of the universe. But the will of the universe moved one step back and managed to dodge Su Jin’s attack, as though he had taken a step that spanned for miles.

“Haha! Leave killing me to the future! I’m still waiting for the day you’re truly qualified to challenge me and I think it won’t be long till that day comes. If you survive today, that is!” The will of the universe retreated and disappeared.

Su Jin looked up at his surroundings. There were as many gods as the number of clouds in the sky. Low tier, mid tier, high tier, and top tier current gods were all gathered here. They had no feud with Su Jin. All they wanted was to survive.

“Mr. Su, you’re someone we all respect and you had the chance to become a god in this cycle, but you chose not to accept your fate, so you’ve become the person that we’ve all wanted to be at some point. But today… I’m very sorry, but we’re weaklings who simply… wish to live!” said a god who was covered entirely in light. They respected Su Jin, but they could not avoid a battle.

However, none of that appeased Su Jin. He raised his knife at the crowd of gods and declared in a frosty voice, “Anyone who stands in my way shall die today!”
