After pressing the leaf back down his head, the boy looked at the woman who was still throwing a tantrum and the girl who was crying helplessly with a conflicted expression. He wanted to go forward to them several times, but when he saw the two dark figures on the side, he restrained himself from going forward.

That's right, the boy was no ordinary person, and the two dark shadows were not human either, but ghost messengers. The boy discovered the ghost messengers when he saw the woman lying on the ground making a fuss.

He could tell at a glance that the ghost messengers were after the mother and daughter, but he wanted to warn them but was worried that it would affect the ghost messengers' work.

In the end, the boy gave up on helping the mother and daughter. Life and death are predestined; those destined to die will die sooner or later. Since the ghost messengers had already arrived, he decided not to meddle. Perhaps this was their fate.

Thinking of this, the boy shook his head, opened his backpack, and took out a document. On the document were the words "Recruitment Resume Form of Metaphysics Management Office" written in large characters, along with the detailed address of the management office. The boy prepared to go to the address to apply for the job.

Just as the boy was about to leave, a terrible thing happened on the bustling street. A driverless truck parked on the side of the road suddenly went out of control and started moving on its own, heading straight towards the mother and daughter who were still arguing!

Neither the mother nor the daughter noticed the impending disaster; they were still arguing. Bystanders who noticed the accident were too late to save them, and the two were quickly run over by the truck!

"Oh my god! Help! Someone's here!"

"Call an ambulance! Call the police!"

"My God, this is terrifying! Quick, quick, save them!"

When the boy heard someone exclaim in alarm, he immediately turned around to see what was happening. He then saw that the woman's soul had already escaped from her body and was being dragged away by the ghost messengers. It seemed that she had died on the spot.

The girl's soul was in a daze, half-dead, and it was unknown whether the ghost messengers would take her away as well.

Seeing that what had happened was already done, and knowing that he couldn't meddle anymore, the boy had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Police and ambulances arrived at the scene quickly. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the girl was still alive and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

On the food street, Ya Zi strolled slowly behind a middle-aged man, his eyes drooling as he looked at the delicious food around him. When he saw grilled sausages, chicken legs, pig's trotters and other meaty dishes, his legs wouldn't move. After all, this carnivore could never resist meat.

"Hey, old man, stop for a minute. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Yazi, who was craving food, really wanted to eat the food that made his mouth water, but he had no money and couldn't become a robber or monster to steal food, so he pretended to ask the old man in front of him.

That uncle was a good friend of the Dragon King; his true form was a large vase, and he was a demon formed from a vase.

Because of his advanced age and status as a national treasure, everyone calls him an old antique.

The old antique's workplace was the recruitment department of the metaphysics management office. The Dragon King said that finding a job for Ya Zi was actually a way of kicking Ya Zi to his friend.

When the old antique heard Ya Zi ask him if he was hungry, he felt like laughing. How could he, a mere vase spirit, possibly be hungry? He didn't need to eat anything; even when he cultivated, he only absorbed the essence of the sun and moon from the sky.

The old man, who had already guessed that Ya Zi wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to say it, didn't dare to laugh out loud. He was afraid that the famous, petty, and vengeful Ya Zi would beat him to a pulp if he saw him making fun of him.

So the old antique had no choice but to suppress his laughter and reply, "Um, actually I'm not hungry, but seeing all this delicious food, I'd like to try it too. I wonder if Young Master Long would like to try some as well?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Zi immediately nodded happily and pointed to the food on the barbecue stall, saying, "Why don't we eat this? It looks delicious!"

The old man immediately nodded in approval when he saw the large chicken leg and sausages on the menu, and then took Ya Zi to order.

Ya Zi, who was often required to abstain from food in the celestial realm, stared at the barbecue stall with shining eyes, thinking to himself, "How can the food in the human world smell so good? It looks delicious! And this old antique is really a good monster. I must become good friends with him!"

In the management office, Yue Jiuling was scrolling through videos on her phone, laughing so hard at the funny ones that her mouth was practically splitting open to the back of her head.

Ye Dongfeng and Yinni were playing games with their teammates while wearing headphones, Mu Xiaoyi was watching TV dramas alone, and Bai Xinyu was fast asleep on her desk. In the entire office, not a single person was working diligently or properly, and not a single person seemed like a good employee.

Just as everyone was 'slacking off,' Director Yu suddenly came out of his office, holding a cell phone that seemed to still be on the line. He addressed his subordinates outside:

"Hey everyone, wake up! Stop playing around. Can anyone go downstairs to pick up the new colleague? The barrier downstairs prevents the new colleague from getting in. You guys discuss finding someone to go down and get him."

Yue Jiuling was still scrolling through videos, but as soon as she heard Director Yu say that a new colleague was coming, she immediately stopped watching and excitedly volunteered, "A new colleague is coming? Is she replacing me? I'll go down and greet her right away!"

"Hey, Jiuling, no..."
