The first time Bai Tao woke up after her death, she found herself thrown into a world of uncanny rules by the world's consciousness, becoming an ordinary human.
Her neighbor is a talking ...
Chapter 037 City of Dreams (VI)
Bai Tao has been here for a week, and has only heard of the boss's name but never seen him in person.
The boss has never appeared, as if he does not exist. He is the boss, and is also called the boss. The photo of the boss on the employee display board is an overhead view of the company building, which is very mysterious.
Miss Yang once said that Bai Tao was a half-employee of the U-Bao Express Courier Company. She was very sure that the half-employee Miss Yang was talking about did not mean a probation period.
There must be something fishy about the boss suddenly wanting to see her. Maybe the one who really wants to see Bai Tao is Him, the core of the Ubiquitous Express Delivery Company and also a fragment of the consciousness of the ghost story world.
Bai Tao: "Meet the boss? Okay, after meeting him, I will go from being a half-employee to a full-employee?"
Miss Yang nodded. After meeting the boss, the number of the company's formal employees would become an integer, most likely from three and a half to three.
——But she hopes Hakuto will be the fourth.
"You," she hesitated and reminded, "Don't resist, accept everything, and listen to your boss, you will be safe."
Baitao: "?"
She saw obvious worry on Miss Sheep's face, but not malice. Monsters can also be worried? How strange.
Almost at the same time as she finished reminding Bai Tao, Miss Yang groaned and her left arm fell down.
"Are you okay?"
Bai Tao picked up the forearm and handed it to her.
Miss Yang put her arm back on and smiled reassuringly: "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it will heal soon, I have a strong ability to heal myself."
This is not a minor injury, it is the backlash of violating the rules. Miss Yang is an employee of the company and her self-healing ability is obviously suppressed.
"That hurts too. It's not against the rules to ask the boss to wait, right?"
Bai Tao pulled her to sit down and took out the flesh and blood regeneration reagent to treat the wound.
When she looked up again, Miss Yang's eyes were full of tears and she looked extremely moved.
Baitao: "..."
It seems that the effect is good to give a sweet date after hitting a stick.
Before sending Bai Tao to the elevator, Miss Yang held Bai Tao's arm and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." My friend.
The elevator had no buttons, and it started running automatically as soon as Bai Tao got on.
After two or three minutes, the elevator stopped.
bite--
We have reached the top floor.
The elevator door opened, revealing a volcano.
The magma gathered into a river, and a man was soaking in it.
The exposed skin is the same as that of humans, and he looks like a human being.
—At least a halfling.
Wearing a light green dress and waist-length hair, she looks like a scholar who walked out of an ink painting rather than the owner of a courier company.
The boss opened his eyes, and Bai Tao saw a pair of green eyes, which were extremely weird. Anyone who saw him would know that he was not human.
I can tell from the look in his eyes that he is someone I cannot beat.
"Come here." Unlike the scorching temperature of the magma, his voice was very cold, as if it could frostbite people.
There was magma everywhere all around, and there was nowhere to step. With such a high temperature, even if Bai Tao turned into a spider, she would melt into the magma in an instant.
She took a tentative step and the magma spread out where she stepped, revealing the soil underneath. It was still hot, but bearable.
This is the power of the boss of a big company. Now Bai Tao believes that Naduosong Express Company was once the fourth largest company among the three major companies.
The further he walked, the greater the pressure on his back, as if he was carrying a mountain. Bai Tao walked slower and slower, and in the end he was almost crawling forward.
Sweat fell like rain on the lava ground, and Bai Tao finally came to two steps away from the boss. She never lowered her head or bent down from beginning to end, and looked into those green eyes.
The boss stood up from the lava. He was also a halfling, with his snake body erect. He looked down at him and asked, "How long have you been here?"
The moment the boss spoke, the pressure disappeared and Bai Tao lowered her head and answered obediently.
"Just one week."
"The Netherworld Cemetery, the Biological Laboratory, and Yuji Seafood Restaurant. They haven't been around for long, but the performance is pretty good."
He knows everything.
Bai Tao was very glad that she lowered her head so the boss couldn't see her expression.
"It's nice to have a company behind you."
To be honest, Nadusong Express Company really helped Bai Tao a lot.
Equipment is given at the beginning. When fighting against the Sea Centipede alone, without the company's reinforcement, Bai Tao can win, but it will definitely not be so easy. Maybe it's time to collect interest.
"When you come back that day, you should report to me."
Bai Tao was sure that 'that day' referred to the day when Bai Tao destroyed the biological laboratory.
The boss stretched out his hand, and a small ball of light flew out from Bai Tao's body and fell into his hand.
Bai Tao blinked, put on the most harmless expression, looked up and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
"The remains of the Netherworld Cemetery, the Biological Laboratory, and Yu Ji Seafood Restaurant."
"Next time you eat, digest it thoroughly before coming back."
So those copies destroyed by Bai Tao were eaten by her? No, no, no, it should be just a routine operation in the world of ghost stories, and has nothing to do with her talent.
The man looked at the thing in his hand with disgust, threw it into the lava, then put his hands into the lava again to wash them.
Baitao: "..."
She seemed to be disliked, but she was not sure, so she bravely glanced at her boss. It was definitely disliked.
You are strong and you are right, so you bow your head again obediently: "Okay, boss."
The tip of the snake's tail poked out from the lava and rested on Bai Tao's chin, commanding: "Look up and look at me."
Bai Tao met those green eyes again. They were more beautiful than emeralds, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes away.
Bai Tao heard her own heartbeat.
Bang, bang, bang——
The heart was beating very, very, very violently, Bai Tao used three "very"s.
In the real world, this is a heart rhythm disorder caused by excessive dopamine secretion and adrenaline surge.
Generally speaking, either the host's love is coming, or death is coming.
But now, two things may be happening at the same time.
It has nothing to do with Bai Tao's will, it is a spontaneous reaction of the body.
Most of Bai Tao's consciousness was immersed in the man's eyes, with only a small trace of consciousness, realizing that the snake man in front of her was controlling her.
A very terrifying ability.
The blood flowed faster, the heart rate was 3.5 times that of an ordinary person, and sudden death was waving at Bai Tao.
If Hakuto was still a weakling who had just entered the world of ghost stories, she would have died of heart arrhythmia by now.
"name."
Bai Tao opened her mouth subconsciously, her real name on the tip of her tongue. She stopped, her consciousness was split into two, and there was a constant quarrel in her mind.
The boss stood aside, quietly watching Bai Tao's struggle.
Compared to the boss's abilities, the biology lab's disguise is rubbish.
——Bai Tao felt that she was really schizophrenic this time.
The appearance of the mouth was a sign, and now it is even more serious.
Most of Bai Tao's consciousness shouted in unison
【Tell that man your name quickly. 】
"Hakuto. Reason prevails over everything.
[Lie, you lie! How could you lie to that lovely man! ]
Bai Tao blamed Bai Tao as if she had done something wrong to her boss.
The huge guilt almost overwhelmed Bai Tao. She wanted to tell the truth, wanted to reveal everything, wanted to become one with him.
Baitao: "..."
This is not her.
Let rationality return a little.
The boss nodded, as if agreeing with Bai Tao's answer, which made her feel relieved. If it happened again, she might not be able to hold on.
The steam from the super-high temperature magma blurred Bai Tao's vision, and all she could see were those beautiful green eyes.
"Come on, repeat after me, I am a courier for a courier company that delivers to every place."
Bai Tao opened and closed her mouth, making a sound: "I'm a courier for a courier company that delivers to everywhere."
"I voluntarily surrender everything I have, including my body, to the company."
Baitao: "..."
Damn black-hearted boss, listen to what he said, is this human language? No wonder there are only a few employees left in the company, he deserves it.
The green eyes stared at her, and the white peach split even more severely.
She will suffer from schizophrenia sooner or later anyway, so it would be better for her to take the initiative and make the split more complete.
Bai Tao fed herself to the mouth. The mouth could eat anything, including Bai Tao herself.
Among the countless voices in his mind, the mouth's cheering was the loudest and it was also very rude in eating, feeding one consciousness after another, until finally only Bai Tao and the mouth were left.
Bai Tao took one last look into the green eyes, handed her body over to her mouth, and closed her perception.
It was five minutes later that Bai Tao regained consciousness and took control of her body again.
Something was wrong with her vision, she had turned into a spider.
It was still the familiar green eyes. Bai Tao seemed to see a smile flash across them. Did something funny happen? Or did she just wake up and her eyes were blurry?
A second later, Bai Tao was sure that she was not dazzled. The boss smiled. Not only did he smile, but his face was getting closer and closer to Bai Tao.
A kiss fell on Bai Tao's face.
Bai Tao: "???" Hidden rules in the workplace? !
As if he could see the astonishment on Bai Tao's face, the man's voice was also tinged with a smile: "The special express reward you requested."
Baitao: "..."
In other words, this kiss is worth 10,000 yuan, and it is very pure, like a child playing house, with only a kiss on the cheek.
That was the money she had earned through great efforts, and it was such a waste that she wanted to tear her mouth apart.
Besides, her child is ignorant. How can you be ignorant when the boss is such a big snake? The killing intent gradually rose.
He said timidly: "Thank you, boss."
Woohoo, her money.
"Blushing."
Bai Tao poked the boss a little: "It's too hot, and I'm being smoked by the lava steam." Please don't be so self-indulgent.
The boss's smile disappeared as soon as he said it. He pulled back his tail roughly and lay back down in the lava.
With his back to Bai Tao, the elevator opened with a ding.
The surrounding magma was rolling, ready to attack Bai Tao's location, so she was sent away.
Bai Tao didn't want to stay for a moment and wished she had eight legs and two arms to keep going.
After entering the elevator, the elevator door slammed shut. Bai Tao breathed a sigh of relief, isolating herself from the heat wave and magma.
Sizzle——
Bai Tao heard the sound of lightning and painful gasps outside the elevator where the boss was.
Bai Tao didn't care about the dog boss' sudden madness. She looked at herself in the mirror on the elevator wall. Her chin turned red, and Bai Tao rubbed her chin hard.
Bai Tao hopes to touch the tail under her chin, which has been disinfected by magma.
The animal world told her that there were parasites between the scales of pythons.
Parasite! Bai Tao silently recited these three words, and all the beautiful thoughts in her mind disappeared.
Bai Tao checked her memory of those five minutes. Her method worked. She took the oath, but was not assimilated by the company. Bai Tao was still Bai Tao. Everything was fine except that her mouth power became stronger.
There is also an additional courier talent, and how to use it specifically needs to be explored.
Poking her belly, Bai Tao warned: "Don't talk to the boss anymore!"
"I don't, he calls me Xiaobai and you only call me Mouth. I hate you and I like him!"
Bai Tao's heart sank. Although his logic was childish, his pronunciation was clear and much better.
