After the police car left, a few of us were called to Boss Ning's office. Ning Xue asked about where Fu Xiang had been and who he had met since he came to the company this morning.
None of us knew and just shook our heads. Yu Jie, however, seemed to know something. He said, "I ran into him at the security guard when I came to the company this morning. We signed in together and he seemed fine. He said he needed to go to the restroom, and then... he died."
The body was indeed found in the restroom, and just like that incident happened last night, we were instantly horrified, and our associations were surprisingly consistent—Fu Xiang was killed by that female ghost Huo Yan! Now, no employee dared to go to the restroom near the warehouse.
Yu Jie sighed repeatedly: "If I had known last night, I wouldn't have mentioned Huo Yan. Maybe we would all be fine now, and Fu Xiang wouldn't have died. If the police investigate, I might very well be the indirect murderer!" When he said this, he trembled all over.
Oh my god, that bastard Yu has a truly vivid imagination. He actually imagined himself as the indirect murderer. I'm so drunk. We talked him down for a while before he felt better. But Yu Jie had a point. If he hadn't mentioned Huo Yan last night, perhaps none of this would have happened, and Fu Xiang wouldn't have died. But it's already happened, and there's no way to undo it. All we can do now is face it.
Su Xiaoniu smiled with interest and said, "Last night you destroyed Huo Yan's clone, which angered her. Today she used her real body to kill people. It seems she has a quick temper. But if her real body comes out as I said, then this matter will be difficult to handle. I'm afraid all of you will die."
I felt a chill run down my spine when I heard that. Damn it! Wasn't it you who instigated me to use both male yang blood and boy urine last night to destroy Huo Yan's clone? Now they're pissed and want to kill us all, and you're still so carefree and joking! I cursed her inwardly for being heartless and irresponsible, and ended up kowtowed three times to the ground.
Zhao Xi happened to be standing in front of me. She was also startled when she saw me kowtow to her, and then looked at me with a puzzled look. Yu Jie and the others had a lewd look on their faces, making faces and making funny faces, as if I had done something wrong to Zhao Xi and was kneeling down to beg for mercy.
I had so much to say but couldn't express it. I stood up, gave Zhao Xi an embarrassed smile, and then said to Su Xiaoniu from the bottom of my heart, "My reputation has been ruined in your hands!"
Su Xiaoniu said angrily: "If you don't shut up, I'll make you kowtow twice more!"
I shut up. Su Xiaoniu smiled smugly and said, "Since you're so well behaved, I'll be merciful and tell you one more thing."
I asked her what was going on, and Su Xiaoniu told me that even if we hadn't destroyed Huo Yan's clone last night, we would have died sooner or later. And now, even though Huo Yan's true form has appeared, she can't stray too far from her burial site. As long as we stay away, we can avoid this disaster. And Huo Yan's burial site is in the bathroom, so as long as we don't go there, we'll be safe for now.
As for why Huo Yan's real body cannot be too far away from the burial place, Su Xiaoniu discovered after fighting with Huo Yan's clone last night that Huo Yan's body was still near the toilet, and the body was forming a cocoon, making the ghost turn over the coffin.
The soul must remain with the corpse while it cocoons. If the cocoon is successfully formed and the ghost emerges, Huo Yan will be completely free from the constraints of the burial ground and will no longer need to consume human feces. She will become an extremely terrifying cocoon ghost with extremely ferocious attacks. At that time, this company will be engulfed in blood.
The transformation from a coprophagist to a terrifying cocoon ghost is terrifying just by the sound of it. I always thought only butterflies, insects, and silkworms could make cocoons, but I never imagined even the corpses of ghosts could form cocoons! And once they emerge from the cocoon, they become incredibly terrifying!
Su Xiaoniu suggested that I leave the company to avoid this fate and save my life. It wouldn't matter if I died, but I could kill her too. At first, I was a little hesitant, after all, my own life was the most important thing!
Suddenly, Sun Ya said in fear: "Fu Xiang is dead. Will we be killed by ghosts like him?"
Her words startled everyone, and they lost all desire to deliver the package. The six of them stayed in Boss Ning's office, not leaving for a moment. I wanted to leave, even to take a leave of absence, but I couldn't bear to leave Zhao Xi, and I didn't know what to do.
Seeing us like this, Boss Ning said, "Don't worry, my uncle is a Feng Shui master. He's proficient in the five elements of numerology and the ability to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits. I'll ask him to come over this afternoon."
A Feng Shui master? Would it work? I was skeptical, so I gave up the idea of leaving the company. At least I had to see what the Feng Shui master said first.
We all nodded in agreement.
It was around 1 p.m., the winter weather was gloomy and cold, and a chilly wind blew outside. We, dressed in sweaters, sat in Boss Ning's office, waiting. Luckily, the office was heated, so we didn't feel cold. For lunch, the six of us went to the cafeteria together. Now, no matter what we did, we almost always went together, afraid that if we got separated, we would die.
The office door creaked open, revealing Ning Xue. Following behind her was a young man in a suit and tie, no more than thirty years old, with a short stubble beneath his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. This man must be the Feng Shui master Ning Xue had mentioned.
I sat aside, secretly observing the man for a moment. I remembered that Feng Shui masters usually dressed in traditional attire, carrying tools like dowsing rods and compasses. Why was this Feng Shui master dressed so stylishly?
