That night had been a little insane.
Taking over as the On-Duty City God had been a good thing at first.
The Death-Prison Yama Ghost's escape was dangerous, yes, but it also seemed like an opportunity. So what if there was danger? The On-Duty City God was a position granted by the Netherworld Office. Naturally, Underworld Runners such as the Night Watch and Day Patrol would protect him.
Besides, after learning so much from the Netherworld Office's Appointment Edict, Zheng Mi hadn't been particularly afraid of the Death-Prison Yama Ghost.
