144 The Ninth Store

◎You are my only boss!◎

There was half an inch of water in the corridor. Lu Yao lifted her feet and the water flowed from her shoes to the ground. She frowned. The new employees' on-the-job training was not done well. They couldn't stand it for a day.

Xu Zhengrong and Ren You fell at the door of the operation classroom. The singing and the sound of water came from the bathroom opposite.

Lu Yao checked their breath and fortunately they just fainted.

I don't know what the situation is in the lobby at the end of the corridor. The guests are estimated to be the same as Xu and Ren.

Lu Yao couldn't do it in two places, so he had to get up and walk to the bathroom and turn off the faucet at the sink at the entrance.

The sound of water stopped, and singing came from the women's bathroom. The crying that was previously covered by the sound of water also came out intermittently.

Lu Yao held the ruler in his hand and pushed open the door of the bathroom. The strong smell of water hit him.

There is a furry shop opened on the seabed. Lu Yao is actually used to the unique smell of sea water, but the smell in the bathroom is too strong, and it also has a rusty smell that makes people feel uncomfortable.

The bathroom originally had two artificial lighting windows made by Lu Yao himself, but now they are covered by something and no light is allowed in, so the bathroom is dark and damp, and the vision is blurred.

The circuit lighting equipment seems to have failed, and the switch does not respond.

Lu Yao stood at the door, using the Ruler of Warnings as a magic wand to draw a formation in the air. The strange crooked words connected together to form a magic formation, which slowly expanded outward, illuminating the space in front of him inch by inch.

Several black clothes were scattered on the floor of the small bathroom.

Chen You was wearing a black suit today.

There were only clothes on the floor, but no people.

There were only three toilets in the women's restroom, and the sound of crying and singing came from the toilet at the back near the corner.

Lu Yao turned the Ruler of Warnings, and the evil ghost statue at the handle of the ruler opened its mouth with a hoarse sound.

Two shadow butterflies flew out of the evil ghost's mouth, one hovered beside Lu Yao, and the other flapped its wings silently and flew into the toilet from above.

The two shadow butterflies of the old divine medicine could originally share vision and information. Lu Yao later transformed them with his willpower, allowing them to share vision and perform holographic projection at the same time.

Lu Yao had conducted many tests in the Internet cafe before, and the effect was excellent.

It was the same at this time. The shadow butterfly searching for information hovered above the toilet, and the shadow butterfly beside Lu Yao projected the situation in the toilet in front of her.

On the palm-sized dark blue screen, there was not only Chen You, who had turned into a ghost, but also Du Xiao, a mutant who was judged to be a ghost not long ago.

The body of the white ghost was like a cloud, wrapping around Du Xiao who was sitting on the toilet. Only the head with three black holes was leaning on Du Xiao's shoulder, singing a song.

Du Xiao huddled on the toilet, her expression was dull, her pupils were trembling, her sobs were intermittent, and she was so helpless that she almost burst out.

Lu Yao had seen Du Xiao in the morning. At that time, she was completely numb. Now she seemed to have regained some consciousness, but she was almost scared.

Chao Yingdie shook his fingers, Lu Yao stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, saying in a calm tone: "Chen You, let the guest go, come out and talk if you have something to say."

The cloud-like ghost raised his head, stared at the door of the compartment for a while, slowly let go of Du Xiao, and his dark eyes and mouth curved into an evil arc.

Chen You opened the door with the tip of his tail hanging in the air, and saw Lu Yao standing outside. He went up to him happily: "Shopkeeper, I've been waiting for you. You've been living a tiring life, and you must be bored a long time ago, right?"

Lu Yao: "What do you mean?"

Chen You, who had turned into a ghost, had no feet. He carefully wrapped the tip of his tail around Lu Yao's legs and stuck to him little by little: "I know, you've walked a very long way alone, and you don't know where you are going. You're tired and confused, and you've been overwhelmed. In fact, what's wrong with stopping to rest for a few days? That adult likes you very much. He is omniscient and omnipotent, and knows everything. As long as you are willing to serve Him, the adult will definitely guide you on the right and easy path."

Lu Yao finally understood the little ghost's ways. No wonder he could be put on the same level as the golden octopus.

There are roughly two directions of human alienation in Ghost Street, the aggressive octopus form, and the harmless ghost form.

Humans who have been alienated into octopuses are mostly extroverted and are good at aggression, while humans who have been alienated into ghosts are better at guiding others psychologically.

The little ghost looks harmless, but is actually good at brainwashing.

In a way, it is more lethal than the octopus alien.

She can also sing, and her singing has a hypnotic effect, a bit like the siren in the story.

Unfortunately, this level of brainwashing is a bit low-level for the store owner, and it can't even touch her emotions.

Lu Yao raised his hand and tapped Chen You's dark face with the ruler blade: "Chen You, I don't feel tired. Although it was not my own choice to embark on this path at the beginning, I encountered many troubles and often felt confused and helpless. For now, what I have lost and the benefits I have gained can probably maintain a balance, not to the point of regret. But you, you easily give up yourself and become like this, and you want to serve Him for free indefinitely, are you really willing?"

Warm golden light poured out from the ruler blade, like a drizzle in early spring, falling on Chen You.

The little ghost felt a burst of pain from being burned by fire, and suddenly bounced off Lu Yao, taking a few steps back in disbelief. The ghost's appearance was like cracked wall skin, peeling off in large pieces, falling to the ground, revealing Chen You's original appearance again.

Chen You looked at Lu Yao with almost resentment, and roared: "It's obvious that you can just not think about anything and follow me to make it easy. Why do you resist?" Lu Yao

raised the ruler in his hand and pointed it at Chen You's dark eyes: "If I must say, the adult behind you doesn't seem to be strong enough. I think he can still resist a few more times."

The next second, the black blade tip wrapped in warm golden light pierced directly into Chen You's eyes.

Chen You covered her eyes and fell to the ground, screaming, golden pus flowing out of her eyes.

Lu Yao raised his hand and drew a magic circle of light, and the healing light enveloped Chen You, the pain was relieved, and her sanity gradually returned.

The damp and stuffy atmosphere in the bathroom gradually dissipated, and the artificial lighting windows on the wall emerged from the seaweed, illuminating the surroundings again.

Lu Yao bent down and picked up the clothes on the ground, and threw them to Chen You who was sitting on the ground in a daze: "Put on your clothes and come out."

Chen You caught the clothes and opened her eyes. After the golden pus flowed out, her pupils returned to black. There was no pain, and no blindness.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Yao, who walked into the toilet and helped up the paralyzed Du Xiao, like a monster.

She couldn't understand why the seemingly weak and powerless shop owner was so strong.

This time, she was the one taking the lead in the operation. She thought her singing could easily break through the shop owner's defenses, but she was defeated so easily.

What was that strange weapon in the shop owner's hand?

What was her ability?

Why would such a person appear in Ghost Street?

Chen You slowly rolled her eyes, her thinking was slow, but she was still thinking hard.

She suddenly thought of a question, and a chill ran down her spine.

Didn't He know where the shop owner came from?

Would He not understand the shop owner's abilities and reliance?

The water in the corridor had receded at some point, but Xu Zhengrong and Ren You were still lying on the ground.

Lu Yao kicked the two awake, and put Du Xiao down.

Xu Zhengrong sat up in shock, and when he saw Lu Yao, he wanted to speak immediately, but he felt a slump on his shoulders, which distracted him. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold Du Xiao who was approaching.

Lu Yao put the people down and walked out without looking back: "Don't move, wait for me to come back."

Ren Ren sat up, rubbing his eyes, "Brother Xu, what happened to us?"

At this time, Chen You, who had put on his clothes, walked out of the bathroom. He was so scared that he almost jumped up. He tried to get up in a hurry, but he was so weak that he fell to the ground in a funny way.

Chen You didn't even glance at the three people. He turned a corner and walked quickly to the door of the warehouse. Seeing Gan Ying lying on the chair and unable to get up, his face turned pale again.

In the lobby of the DIY hut, Huang Qi saw Lu Yao coming out of the door and immediately trotted over to greet him: "Boss, are you done in the warehouse?" Lu Yao

looked around the lobby and saw more than a dozen guests lying on several tables as if they were asleep. They were quite neat.

She walked over and took their pulses one by one to make sure they were just asleep. Then she turned around and paid attention to Huang Qi: "You don't have any ideas?"

Huang Qi's head shook like a rattle: "No, no! From now on, you will be my only boss!" Lu Yao

was a little surprised that there was actually a clerk who could assess the situation.

However, this kind of clerk needs to be watched out for. He has brains and is flexible. Who knows when he will stab you in the back?

Logically, both parties have made their cards clear. The next step is either to tear each other apart or to play psychological warfare.

Lu Yao's personality tends to be the former, which is decisive; but experience tells her that the latter is more conducive to achieving her goals.

Even if she sends the three clerks back to the committee, it will only be three more traitors. It is better to continue using these three clerks who have been trained similarly. At least their work ability is still good.

Lu Yao patted Huang Qi on the shoulder and accepted his sincerity: "Okay, Gan Ying and Chen You are still in the warehouse, and they may have some difficulty in moving. You go and move the materials needed in the afternoon to the No. 2 operation classroom."

Huang Qi nodded and trotted into the corridor.

With his back to the shop owner, the smile on the young man's face disappeared, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

Lu Yao was still a little worried, so he cast a medium-sized healing magic in the store.

Within five minutes, the unconscious customer gradually woke up.

Xu Zhengrong, Ren You and Du Xiao also recovered their strength and ran out of the corridor in a panic.

Seeing Lu Yao standing in the lobby, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and inexplicably relaxed.

I don't know why, but seeing the shop owner again at this time, it was as if I had found a sense of security.

Lu Yao saw that Xu Zhengrong was much more enthusiastic than before, and took the initiative to wave at him.

Xu Zhengrong walked quickly to the shop owner, his tone unconsciously carrying a bit of caution: "What's the matter?"

Does she not want to accept Du Xiao anymore?

But Du Xiao only stayed with her for a few minutes before he regained consciousness from his lost state. Xu Zhengrong was surprised and nervous.

Lu Yao asked directly: "When can Jiang Lin leave the church?"

Xu Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "After Jiang Lin woke up, he seemed to have resistance to Him. Director Qin advised him to stay in the security room."

Lu Yao thought to himself that you guys are quick to act: "I want to invite Jiang Lin to work as a clerk in my store. Can you let him go?"

Xu Zhengrong's expression was a little out of control. He restrained himself and took a half step closer to Lu Yao, lowering his voice and saying: "You already have three clerks in your store. Why are you recruiting more?"

Lu Yao: "You should know what they are. I want to recruit a powerful foreman to manage them."

Foreman... manage them...

Xu Zhengrong took a half step back and shook his head: "They are all His true believers. They have seen Him, signed a contract, and received gifts. How can Jiang Lin manage them?"

What gifts?

Brainwashing, fear control, and not being a human package?

Lu Yao has seen so many gods, but this is the first time she has met such a stingy and twisted god.

Perhaps because she has seen too many powerful and compassionate gods, she couldn't even feel a trace of awe when she met the evil god this time.

Lu Yao: "I want to meet Jiang Lin and ask him what he thinks. If he is willing to come to the store, the DIY hut can provide some convenience for the church in treating mutants."

This is her concession.

Xu Zhengrong was a little tempted, but thinking of the rules of Ghost Street, he shook his head with difficulty: "The arrangement of store employees has always been the responsibility of the street committee. The church is only responsible for accepting mutants and has no right to stuff people into the store."

Lu Yao also thought of this: "This is not difficult, I have a way."

Xu Zhengrong couldn't convince Lu Yao, and he was very cautious. He elbowed Director Qin and called Director Qin to report what happened in the store and put forward Lu Yao's request.

The afternoon experience ended, and Lu Yao hung up the closing sign in advance, did not keep any employees, and went out directly to the West District Church with Xu Zhengrong, Ren You and Du Xiao.
