Chapter 30 The Painful Mountain of Trash
Candlestick seemed to have mentioned before that Qiangwei was transferred to work as a cleaner?
Shen Yijin thought about the conversation in the supervisor's office and felt that everything was connected.
The candlestick said that Rose was dead, but the ghost said that Rose was still alive.
Although it seems that there is a problem with the logic, in fact, the two are not contradictory.
The candlestick was talking about the death of Rose in reality, but because of the special nature of the candlestick, Rose's emotions were attached to the candlestick and were brought into this dream.
What the candlestick devoured in the supervisor's office was Rose's anger.
But the emotions don’t go away, they’re just temporarily weakened.
After Qiangwei was transferred here to work as a cleaner, her negative emotion "pain" took over.
But no matter which emotion prevails, they are all rose emotions and can be called roses.
So in the eyes of the Face Ghost, Rose is still alive.
The face ghost spoke very loudly, but when her name was called, Qiangwei just tilted her head to look at Chen Yijin, then turned back to continue working.
In this dream, in addition to candlesticks, roses also appear frequently.
Chen Yijin felt that Rose would be one of the key points to breaking the dream. She planned to go over and observe closely, and unexpectedly discovered that not far from Rose, Apple was also cleaning up the garbage.
What’s going on? Why are all the people I know here to clean up the trash?
"Do you see Apple over there? What's her mood now?" Shen Yijin didn't dare to act rashly.
The ghost fixed his eyes on Apple: "She is now feeling tired, painful and numb."
The mood of Apple is quite different from what I have seen before.
Shen Yijin thinks about the key to breaking the deadlock based on the existing clues.
She reviewed everything that had happened since she entered the dream, and then asked the ghost: "Do you have any way to make Rose and Apple happy?"
The face ghost looked at Shen Yijin with dead fish eyes: "If I had known, I would not have eaten your positive emotions yesterday."
If you have to ask it how to be happy, it has only one answer: devour other people's positive emotions.
But obviously, this was not the answer Shen Yijin wanted.
"Forget it, why would I ask you this question." Shen Yijin also realized that she asked the wrong person.
She sighed and decided it would be safer to do it herself: "Take me to Rose and Apple."
If she hadn’t been unable to move, Shen Yijin would have been there long ago.
The ghost really wanted to know what Shen Yijin was going to do, so it didn't waste any words and directly carried Shen Yijin to Qiangwei.
Shen Yijin took out a piece of candy from her pocket, and without caring whether Qiangwei wanted to eat it or not, she directly lifted her mask and stuffed the candy into Qiangwei's mouth.
Apple does the same thing.
Qiangwei and the other girl were inexplicably fed a mouthful of candy, and before they could come to their senses, the sweetness of the candy exploded on their tongues.
Their minds went blank instantly. They could no longer think about anything else and closed their eyes, savoring the intoxicating sweetness in their mouths.
The ghost had been sensing the emotions of the two people. It widened its eyes in surprise: "Changed! Their emotions have really changed! Apple is no longer numb, and Rose's pain has also eased a lot!"
"How did you do it? Will it work for me?" The face-faced ghost was extremely surprised. Positive emotions are not easy to obtain. If it learned this trick, it would be able to reduce its negative emotions in the future.
Shen Yijin was uncertain: “It should work, you can try it when you get out.”
Seeing the face ghost staring at his pocket eagerly, Shen Yijin simply turned his pocket inside out and took it out: “Look, I’m useless. I only had two pieces of candy, and I gave them all.”
"Okay." The ghost looked a little disappointed.
Putting aside the disappointment of the Face Ghost, Shen Yijin discovered that candy was effective on roses and apples, and finally knew how to break the dream.
To solve the problem of "pain", we must remove the root cause of employees' pain.
The biggest pain for employees now is the mountain of garbage under their feet that constantly emits a foul smell.
Chen Yijin pointed to the two cleaning carts in the corner and said to Pi Gui, "Let's go clean up the garbage too. We have to clean up the garbage mountain today."
The Naughty Ghost looked at the garbage mountain, then at the cleaning cart, his head full of question marks.
The cleaning cart looks so small in front of the mountain of garbage.
"Are you sure you can clean up all the garbage today by relying on this small cart?" The face-faced ghost asked a soul-searching question.
Shen Yijin was not sure: "Anyway, work hard, if we clean it up sooner, we can get back to reality sooner."
There are still many uncertainties in dreams, such as the candlesticks that may cause trouble at any time, and the HRs that chase people and eat their emotions...
Leaving the dream before these uncertainties break out is the safest and wisest choice.
The ghost thought it was unlikely, but Shen Yijin looked smarter than it now, so it decided to do it.
So two more people were added to the garbage cleaning team.
Shen Yijin's idea is beautiful, but the reality is very bleak.
She still can't move her limbs flexibly. The Face Ghost has dealt with two carts of garbage, but there is only a thin layer of garbage in Chen Yijin's cleaning cart.
Even this little bit of garbage made Shen Yijin sweat profusely.
"At this rate, you may not be able to clean up one third of this garbage mountain in your lifetime, let alone clean it up today." The Face-Skinned Ghost taunted mercilessly.
Shen Yijin couldn't stand her own speed.
She estimated that it would take another half an hour before she regained full control of her limbs.
This time is too long, Shen Yijin doesn't want to wait.
She sighed and sat down on the garbage heap in an ungraceful manner.
Rose and Apple, who were feeling a little more positive, soon discovered Shen Yijin slumped on the ground, and came over to ask her what was wrong.
Just by getting a little bit of positive emotions, Rose and Apple gained a lot of humanity, and they looked more like human beings.
Seeing the two people, Shen Yijin suddenly had an idea in his mind.
If it cannot be accomplished by one person’s strength, then why not gather the strength of everyone and complete this difficult task together?
Shen Yijin did what he said. He used his own positive emotions as a medium and performed magic to make it rain positive emotions on the garbage mountain.
The rain dripped down on all the minotaurs and centaurs who were working. Everyone unconsciously put down their work and looked up at the sky.
After a rain, the bad smell in the air dissipated a lot.
The puffy ghost felt very comfortable being drenched in the rain. It had not had enough positive emotions, so after the rain stopped it deliberately came to Chen Yijin, wanting her to feed it some more positive emotions.
Chen Yijin ignored the expectant look of the face ghost. She pushed the face ghost aside and said to all the workers present: "Everyone, it must be painful to work in the garbage dump every day. Why don't we clear the garbage mountain together, rewrite the rules, and create a comfortable working environment for ourselves without overtime?"
The minotaurs and centaurs looked at each other.
They really wanted to move this stinking mountain of garbage away, but when it came down to doing the work themselves, no one wanted to move.
"A comfortable working environment without overtime is indeed good, but how can we know whether you are just making empty promises to us just to get us to work for you?" A minotaur stood up and asked Shen Yijin.
