Chapter 068 My Wife is Really Hungry

The dormitory building was not far from the duty room, but Lin Xi did not walk fast. She arrived at the duty room at 12:11.

When the door was opened, the three colleagues who had been with Lin Xi for nearly a month looked up at the same time. Their faces were first stunned, and then turned into horror. They were probably afraid that Lin Xi would become depressed and come to catch them and feed them to his wife.

How much do these three geniuses weigh? They are not even enough to fill the gaps between Shen Sangning's teeth. Why is Lin Xi staring at them?

While they were trembling, Lin Xi waved his hand and said, "What are you worried about? I'm not here to look for you. Besides, it's already past twelve o'clock, and the contract has expired." Yes, it was already past twelve o'clock, and it was no longer this month, so their contract had expired.

But even this made them even more afraid, because the expiration of the contract meant they were useless, and there was nothing to restrain Lin Xi anymore. If Lin Xi wanted to, he could have his wife devour them at any time. However, Lin Xi really wasn't here to look for them this time; he had other matters to attend to.

She wandered around the duty room and quickly found the mahjong box in the corner. Like the suitcase she'd taken the money from, the mahjong was also inside. Lin Xi, carrying the suitcase, walked over to the table, cleared everything off, and placed the mahjong on top.

Faced with this situation, Uncle Li, Sister Sun, and Xiao Zhao all waved their hands repeatedly: "No more, really no more! No more mahjong!"

Lin Xi was speechless. She wasn't here to play mahjong, and she wasn't addicted to it. She'd played for days, so why would she play mahjong again? She glanced at them and ignored them. Instead, she unbuttoned the mahjong box and dumped all the tiles onto the table. She wasn't careful, but opened it with a bang, causing many tiles to fall onto the table, bounce out, and then fall to the ground.

The mahjong tiles made a relaxing sound when they touched the floor tiles. The sound was so loud that the three colleagues couldn't help but tremble.

They now understood that Lin Xi was not here to cause trouble for them, but rather to cause trouble for the Mahjong Ghost. Normally, when they played Mahjong, they were always very careful, fearing that the Mahjong Ghost would come to cause trouble for them if they bumped into the tiles, but Lin Xi's actions at this moment were as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.

The mahjong tiles didn't even move when they hit the ground, just like ordinary mahjong tiles. Lin Xi stood in front of the mahjong table, holding half of the box in her hand, the other half dangling on the table. The light from behind shone on Lin Xi, making her look like a demon crawling out of hell.

Lin Xi curled her lips, loosened her grip, and dropped the mahjong box onto the table. She took a step back, looked at the still unresponsive mahjong, and said, "Stop pretending. What's the point of pretending to be just an ordinary mahjong player? Actually, I've always wanted to know, how long have you been in the funeral home?"

Mahjong remained silent, and Lin Xi didn't feel like asking for trouble. She pulled up a chair and sat down not far from the mahjong table, still chattering non-stop, "I'm not a smart person, but some things are too obvious to ignore. When the boss discovered everyone had betrayed him, he was quite stunned at first, but he soon calmed down and accepted it."

"I thought about it. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to accept it. At the very least, I would yell something childish like 'Why did you betray me?'" Lin Xi laughed, but her laughter was cold. The light in the room dimmed. The three ghosts present seemed to sense the eerie atmosphere. They huddled together and shivered, not daring to speak.

Shen Sangning emerged from Lin Xi's body and landed behind her, floating quietly. She reached out her hand, resting it on Lin Xi's shoulder. She whispered, "Hungry." Her eyes were fixed on the mahjong table across from her, and the mahjong boxes and tiles scattered across it.

Lin Xi raised her hand and patted the back of Shen Sang Ning's hand, signaling her not to be anxious.

After pacifying Shen Sang Ning, Lin Xi continued: "In other words, the previous boss may have guessed how I got so many colleagues to defect. Why did it think of it? It is very likely that it used the same method to replace the previous boss. If this is the case, it would be interesting." Lin Xi lowered his hands and placed them on the armrest of the chair, looking at the mahjong with the same determination as Shen Sang Ning.

"No one knows how many years the boss has worked at the funeral home. Even Uncle Li has been there for several years. It's unimaginable how long the boss has been there. Even if it has no brains, it should know that as long as you are here, someone will use the same methods to replace you. So why doesn't it just get rid of you once and for all, or throw you away?"

"Of course it can't do that. After all, you are definitely stronger than it."

"It's no use playing dumb now. Your current boss has doubted your true identity, but you've taken so much profit and been doing this for so long, so you must have self-awareness, and a very strong one, right?" Lin Xi clasped his hands together, even assuming a prayerful gesture. "Then you must know a lot, right? Well, even if I beg you, tell me about the live broadcast room of the Rules Ghost Talk."

Although Lin Xi said "please", her tone was completely different. Instead, it sounded more like she was saying, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."

After all, the Mahjong ghost was not scared, and it knew that it could not pretend in front of Lin Xi that "I know nothing and am just an innocent Mahjong player who relies on the mechanism to operate", so it showed its true appearance in front of others for the first time. The Mahjong tiles that had been quietly falling on the Mahjong table and on the ground flew up and formed an emoji expression package above the Mahjong table.

The perimeter is a very clear circle, with two short separators in the middle, one on the left and one on the right, and at the bottom is an arc with both sides pointing upwards. Simply put, it forms a smiley face.

The smiley face, composed of mahjong tiles, still floating in mid-air, honestly had a Chinese cyberpunk absurdity about it. This feeling was especially pronounced when the smiley face began to act as a speaker, emitting sound. The Mahjong ghost first chuckled twice, and Lin Xi's fists stiffened, wanting to punch it. At that moment, Lin Xi suspected that his former boss had learned his "chuckles" from it.

The Mahjong ghost's voice was quite strange, very much like that of an electronic AI female voice, without much emotion, but it sounded pleasant: "As you said, I have been in the funeral home for a long time. In fact, I have been here before the funeral home was built. I also know a thing or two about the rules of the weird talk live broadcast room you mentioned."

It sounded like it was easy to talk to, but Lin Xi didn't think it would sit down and tell him everything. Sure enough, the next moment the electronic AI female voice became much sharper, so sharp that it made Lin Xi's eardrums hurt: "But why should I tell you? You are a living person, and I am a ghost. Do you think I am one of those useless trash who can be easily suppressed by you and then get the truth out of me?"

Lin Xi dug at her ears, soothing the sting of the sharp, booming sound. She realized that simply talking wasn't going to cut it. How could she possibly obtain crucial intelligence so easily at the third level? However, the Mahjong ghost had been around longer than Lin Xi had imagined, even longer than the funeral home.

She actually thought that architectural ghost stories were quite strong, at least stronger than a single ghost, and the funeral home was such a large building. But after these two incidents, the strength of the funeral home in Lin Xi's mind was obviously discounted, not as strong as the previous owner, nor as strong as the mahjong ghost.

But it didn't matter. She didn't live in a funeral home. Lin Xi also realized that she really couldn't get anything out of the Mahjong ghost, so she simply said to Shen Sangning, "Honey, it's yours. Eat it."

Shen Sangning's eyes lit up, and she floated higher, level with the Mahjong ghost.

The Mahjong Ghost knew this was the perfect time to attack. He who strikes first will be the strongest, and he who strikes later will suffer! The mahjong tiles that formed a circle around it slowly fell down, changing from being upright to being horizontal. The next moment, they flew towards Shen Sangning like bullets.

Shen Sangning's moves were the same as before. The invisible air wall blocked the mahjong tiles. She smiled with her eyes curved, and then the mahjong tiles were ejected the same way they came. The next attack was different from the previous one. Shen Sangning looked up, and the mahjong table also floated up. Then, the mahjong table became a little bigger, and it was like a piece of cloth, slowly wrapping up the mahjong ghost.

The Mahjong ghost realized something was wrong. It wanted to escape, and the Mahjong tiles were scattered everywhere, trying to break through the siege. However, every Mahjong tile was blocked by the air wall. In the end, it looked like all the Mahjong tiles were about to be wrapped up by the Mahjong table. The originally sharp female voice of the electronic AI became shrill: "No! I will tell you! I will tell you whatever you ask!"

The audience was delighted when they saw this, and many comments were already saying: [Ask quickly! ]

【Opportunity is fleeting! Now is the time to wear it!】

But Lin Xi sat in her seat with a dull look, holding her chin and watching the struggle of Mahjong. After hearing Mahjong's several shrill screams, Lin Xi finally spoke: "Stop screaming, I won't believe it." She leaned back, her back against the back of the chair, raised her feet and crossed her legs. Lin Xi's voice was very calm.

"I'm not a smart person, and I don't have any reliable intelligence. I don't know if what you're going to say next is true or not. If you're lying and I can't tell, then we're screwed. There's no contract between us. All the contracts with them were made by you. You must be an expert at playing with contracts, and you've been lurking in the funeral home for so long, so you're definitely not an idiot... Anyway, I can't do it."

Lin Xi spread his hands and said, "And the most important thing is, my wife is really hungry. I've been asking her to be patient and not eat yet. Now those ghosts have become my employees, and she can't eat either. It's not good to keep her waiting. So I thought about it, instead of trying to get information from you, it's better to feed you to my wife."

Chen Sangning looked at Lin Xi and smiled, that smile seemed to say: My wife really loves me!
