Chapter 27: Seizing Identity
No, to be more precise, it was Qiangwei who was asking for help.
Shen Yijin looked at the supervisor's face in doubt, and was unsure who the current supervisor was.
Is it the supervisor himself, or is it Qiangwei?
Or maybe, is it a combination of the supervisor and Rose?
The Face Ghost sensed Shen Yijin's emotions and whispered to her ear: "If you don't save Qiangwei, I will be born next."
The face ghost feeds on people's emotions, and this feeding is uncontrollable.
As more and more emotions accumulate together, this combination of emotions gradually develops consciousness and will cover itself with a layer of skin. The final appearance is the face-faced ghost that Shen Yijin sees now.
To put it bluntly, the face ghost is a combination of emotions.
Shen Yijin released all the emotions eaten by the face ghost, but these emotions will be recombined in the dream.
If these emotions are allowed to devour and combine with each other, new ghosts will definitely emerge.
Thinking of this, Shen Yijin's face darkened: "Do you know how to save Qiangwei?"
"Then I can't tell you." The ghost said with a gloating tone.
The appearance of a new ghost is a good thing for it.
That’s why it won’t tell Shen Yijin how to save Qiangwei!
"What are you mumbling about? Why don't you start reflecting on yourself?" Seeing that Shen Yijin had not started to reflect on herself, the supervisor slammed the table hard.
She did not suppress the anger in her heart and accused sharply: "Are you thinking about Qiangwei? She just didn't reflect on herself and never admitted her mistakes. In the end, she was transferred to a cleaning job. Why are you still not reflecting on yourself? Do you want to accompany Qiangwei too?"
"Supervisor, that's not what I meant. I just didn't think of the wording, so I never started to reflect on it. Now I have thought of it, please give me another chance!" Shen Yijin was not scared by the supervisor. She tried to guess what the supervisor meant in his words, but the expression on her face became terrified, begging the supervisor to give her another chance.
After hearing Shen Yijin's explanation, the supervisor's anger was indeed reduced a lot: "Okay, then I'll give you another chance. Start reflecting now."
Shen Yijin pretended to be happy and agreed, then pretended to reflect on herself: "I shouldn't have been passive at work and played games during working hours just because I didn't pass the resignation assessment. I shouldn't have chatted with colleagues during working hours and disturbed their work..."
The supervisor listened to Shen Yijin's reflection while drinking coffee, nodding his head in agreement from time to time.
After Shen Yijin finished talking about her mistakes, the supervisor spoke up: "It seems that you are very clear about your mistakes. It is a good thing to know what mistakes you have made. Knowing your crimes will prevent you from making them again. You have done a good job of self-reflection. You don't have to accompany Qiangwei."
After that, the supervisor changed the subject: "However, the idea of leaving is wrong. The company provides you with such a good working environment, and you still have a lot of room for advancement in the future. How can you have the idea of leaving?"
"I approved your leave so that you can have a good rest for a few days before coming back to work because I wanted you to deeply understand the benefits of our company. I didn't mean for you to submit a resignation report right after your leave! Since this is your first time making this mistake, I will forgive you this time. Don't ever think about leaving in the future."
The supervisor stood up, walked to Shen Yijin, patted her on the shoulder, and encouraged her: "Come on, I believe in you! Work hard in the future, I promise that you will be able to sit in my position soon!"
In her heart, Chen Yijin complained that her supervisor had drawn a big and round pie, but on her face she was grateful, as if she had been hit in the head by the joy of the upcoming promotion, and she couldn't stop smiling excitedly: "Thank you, supervisor! Then I'll get to work."
“Go ahead~” The supervisor waved his hand, signaling Shen Yijin to leave.
Shen Yijin left the supervisor's office, but did not go in the direction she came from.
She took the elevator to the 25th floor, walked up a few flights of stairs, and finally arrived at the rooftop of the company.
"What are you doing here? Rose is not here." The ghost asked in confusion.
Chen Yijin walked straight to the edge of the rooftop and looked down at the ground: "Qiangwei is not here, but the supervisor is."
If the supervisor's diary is true, then she must have been here in real life.
It is very likely that her truest side is right here.
The Faceless Ghost disagreed: "The supervisor is working in the office, we all saw it just now. You'd better not stand so close to the side, or you might fall down if you're not careful."
Not only did Shen Yijin not listen to the advice and take a few steps back, but she raised her foot and flipped over the guardrail, standing outside the safe range.
She said, "It doesn't matter, this is a dream, I won't fall."
The ghost didn't know what to call Shen Yijin. It watched helplessly as a pair of translucent hands appeared behind Shen Yijin. The hands pressed tightly against Shen Yijin's back, trying to push Shen Yijin down.
Shen Yijin felt the force on her back and looked back, but saw nothing.
“Supervisor, or candlestick, come out, I know you are here.” Shen Yijin sat down on the edge of the rooftop and called the owner of his hands as if he was greeting a friend.
The hands that were pressed against Shen Yijin's back disappeared.
Soon, a translucent person appeared beside Shen Yijin.
Candlestick sat on the edge of the rooftop and looked out at the scenery outside the city.
Even though it was pitch black outside the city, she still wanted to live in such an environment.
Instead of staying in the company forever and being isolated from the world.
Candlestick's voice was very steady, without a single up or down: "How do you know it was me?"
"Because of your eyes." Shen Yijin replied, "After reading the diary in the office, these are not difficult to guess."
The supervisor said that she relied on dishonorable means to get a permanent job, and among several colleagues, Zhutai was the one who cared about Qiangwei the most, and the emotions she expressed were the most complicated.
The more complicated the emotions are, the more emotions were eaten by the ghost.
After the supervisor was diagnosed with cancer, he chose to end his life within a few months. It was obvious that his condition had worsened and there was no room for recovery.
She must have jumped off the roof.
At a height of 90 meters, there is no possibility of survival.
But at the end of the diary, the supervisor said that he was still alive, which meant he could only be alive in another form.
"You became a ghost after you died, but the ghost had just been born at that time and did not have the right to choose whether to devour emotions. You and all your emotions were devoured by the ghost. Because of the ghost's existence, the underworld could not sense you and could not come to take you to reincarnation. From then on, you have been trapped in negative emotions forever."
Zhutai smiled, she looked very beautiful when she smiled, but it was a pity that her life stopped at the age of 27.
"You are a very good person. Since I became the supervisor, everyone has been scolding and blaming me, but you are the only one who said that I am approachable. Although you don't know anything, I am still very grateful to you." Candlestick said, "But Rose has been devoured by me, you can't save her."
Zhutai still had a smile on his face, but tears were streaming from his eyes: "I have been in this hellhole for too long, and I want to find another way to return to the human world. If you had shown up earlier, maybe Qiangwei could have survived."
When the Face Ghost heard that Zhutai wanted to snatch his identity from him, he immediately became anxious: "No! If you take my identity away, I will stay in the dreamland forever! You are so despicable. In order to get out, you actually gave Shen Yijin false information. Qiangwei is obviously still alive, but you insisted on killing her!"
Candlestick was stunned: "How is it possible? I clearly saw her die in front of me. Three thousand six hundred and eighty times, she can't still be alive!"
