Coffin of the Nether World - C105
We left a call and he said that if he could look for a dragon, he would be able to catch a ghost. Even if he couldn’t, it would be best if he had a helper.
When I opened my phone, there was another missed call and another text message. It was all from Sister Kexuan, it should have been a text message that she sent to me before the call connected, telling me to go back earlier.
When I returned home, Zhang Kefan was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She didn’t even look at me, but Sister Kexuan walked out while taking off her apron. She said to me: “Xiao Fang, you’re back.
Just then, another man I didn’t know walked out of the kitchen. He was a little shorter than me, about 1.75 meters.
“Xiao Fang, all of you are adults now, big sister has nothing to be embarrassed about, she’s called Guo Xiaobing, she’s my boyfriend, all you have to do is call him Brother Xiaobing.”
“Brother Xiaobing.” I called out to him with a smile. In fact, my brain only wanted to call him ‘Brother Guo’, and then Guo Donglin’s head, which could reflect light, appeared in my head.
On the other hand, he cordially replied: “You must be Xiao Fang, your Sister Kexuan often mentions you to me, saying that you are sensible and know how to do anything.”
“Sister Kexuan only knows how to speak the truth. I feel embarrassed.” Afraid that the atmosphere would turn stiff, I casually replied.
Who knew that before Sister Kexuan and Brother Xiaobing could react, Zhang Kefan would let out a “pu” sound of laughter and then, all of us looked at her. She seemed to feel embarrassed and immediately went back to her room.
The Brother Xiaobing was a little confused, so I said, “Don’t worry about her, Brother Xiaobing. She’s just like that, always crazy.
Sister Kexuan still went to call Zhang Kefan out, but she still didn’t give me any face, so I couldn’t be bothered to care about her, it simply wasn’t enough.
After the meal, Brother Xiaobing actually took out two gift boxes, saying that they were a gift for Zhang Kefan and me after we had gone to university.
He said that he and Sister Kexuan went to pick it up together, and when I returned to my room, I opened it. It was actually a silver necklace with an “F” inside, probably He Fang’s “Fang” meaning.
Why do I feel like I’m only halfway there? Maybe it was just an illusion, but I didn’t notice. I didn’t like to hang those things around my neck, so I put them away and kept them in my closet.
The group chat in my class was talking all at once about what university I would enter. They were constantly typing out messages on my phone. The moment my head got hot, I immediately left.
In a short while, both Zhang Qing and Wang Lu sent me messages asking me why I left the group.
My heart was moved, but I still told the two of them that I had nothing to do. It was just that I was in a bad mood, so the two of them comforted me a little.
I opened my cell phone and entered my identity card and student’s number. Just as I was about to choose my school, Han Shudie sent me a screenshot.
It was a screenshot of her successful volunteering, the Sichuan CJ Vocational and Technical Academy, and then she asked me to choose this school with her.
In my heart, I was actually a little angry. Why didn’t she discuss the matter with me before choosing her own weapon?
She sent me a few coquettish words, saying that most specialties are actually the same and that any one of them is the same. I bitterly smiled. Looks like having a girlfriend is really troublesome. Thus, I casually filled in my first aspiration form.
As for Zhang Kefan, no matter how poor she was, she wouldn’t fall below the dividing line.
As expected, it was that damned nightmare again! That damn laugh!
Sister Kexuan said that Brother Xiaobing went back last night. I nodded, washed up, and ate breakfast before changing into a new set of clothes and preparing to go out.
Sister Kexuan asked me where I was going, and I said that was fine. I went out to find if there was anything I could do, after all, there was three months of time during the summer holidays.
Sister Kexuan laughed, showing her support for me.
Actually, I already knew where I was going. After leaving the house, I called Yue Weiyang and asked if he would like to hire summer workers.
Yue Weiyang said he did and then praised me greatly. To the contrary, he thought that I, as someone who had snuck into the company, had really paid great attention.
Actually, I just wanted to say that I’m staying with your sister, I’m really looking for a summer job, and then I can conveniently get rid of a goblin while I’m at it. After thinking about it, I looked at all the other stuff in my bag and my confidence increased by a few points.
The location of this company was quite far from me, so it would take about two hours for the subway to change to a bus.
When I arrived, Yue Weiyang was already standing at the entrance waiting for me. What made my eyes light up was that his long hair was gone, his underwear and slippers were also gone, and he had changed into a suit.
After I went over, he still grabbed my shoulder and said to me, “I’ve already made inquiries for you. After you go there, just say that you’re pretty good at typing, and they’ll arrange for you to enter it into the file. Although it’s a part-time job, this can be considered as quite a high position.
The two thousand yuan a month plus a meal was actually nothing for me. What made me a little surprised was that my team leader was actually the guy I met yesterday who believed in fate, and if I remembered correctly, he seemed to be surnamed Ren.
Yue Weiyang looked at me proudly, only then did I realize that he had already enquired about it, Group Leader Ren looked at me and said: “How is it, I told you I believed in fate, I still have your phone number, I didn’t think we would meet again so soon.”
On the way here, we had already activated the Nether Path, so Group Leader Ren was rather happy to talk to me, but I was looking at him with concern. The ball of black air on his forehead had already completely covered the light on his forehead.
It seemed like this place was really a human-eating company.
Today, I studied under the Chief Officer and will officially be on duty tomorrow, so I am rather free.
I had originally planned to eat with Yue Weiyang at noon and also discuss tonight’s matter, but I didn’t think that Group Leader Ren would say that we were fated to be together and wanted to treat me to a meal. I couldn’t refuse a Leader’s invitation, so I braced myself and went along.
Unexpectedly, when we were halfway through eating, Group Leader Ren said to me, “Don’t call me Group Leader Ren, just call me Brother Ren.”
“Brother Ren.” I didn’t care about that, so I called out.
“Since you called me brother, then I can’t hurt you. Xiao Fang, listen to me. “For the next three days, you are still in the probation period. If you can’t take the hardships, you should leave. This company is making trouble for you and you don’t even know who will be the one to die this year. We can’t leave due to the constraints of our lives. You are different, you are still just a child …”
After that, Brother Ren told me about the matter of the company’s ghosts. It was more or less the same as what Yue Weiyang had said, but the difference was that every year, Yue Weiyang said that one person would die, and every year, Brother Ren said that seven people would die!
The figure no doubt gave me a shock. As an old employee, he knew all this. However, since the company had yet to go public, the outside world did not pay much attention to this. Besides, the consortium was especially rich. They always used money to gag those people, including the families of the dead.
He told me again that apart from me, some of the fortune-tellers on the street had told him that he might not have a good luck lately, and that he had to be careful not to go out.
At the beginning, he only thought that one or two people were liars, but after a few times, he naturally associated them with the possibility that the chain of death would fall on him this year.
However, for the sake of his new job here, he could only gamble on his own luck.
After the meal, I thanked the Brother Ren and went back to work.
Since they were in an office building, no matter how hot it was outside, the room was air-conditioned. The only drawback was that it was a bit boring.
In the afternoon, Yue Weiyang pulled me to the top of the building, pointed at the scenery, and then said to me: “This company’s location in the Wind Water Academy is called ‘Gold Jade Bead’, to put it bluntly, it’s a treasure pot!”
