Chapter 055 Don’t Wake Up
At this moment, the young lady, who was not stupid to begin with, realized the truth. Her eyes were red as she looked at Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao angrily, with condemnation in her eyes.
This was a scam! Using Lin Xi as bait to lure them in, the big ghost was actually entangled with the three little ghosts, just to empty their wallets. The HR lady discovered the truth, and while it was slightly different from the answer, it wasn't far off. The only thing she misjudged was the relationship between Lin Xi and the ghost.
It's not that the big ghost is holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, but that Lin Xi is originally in cahoots with the big ghost behind her.
The moment the young lady realized this was a scam, she put down her mahjong and gave up. "No, no, no, your luck is too good! How can I possibly compete with you?" She was about to stand up when she heard Lin Xi say, "Don't leave! Let's play for a while. Don't rush to leave."
The HR lady wanted to curse, but before she could say anything, she felt a huge force on her shoulder. She couldn't help herself and stopped moving. She was pressed down on the seat. She looked up at the big ghost floating behind Lin Xi. She guessed that this big ghost was Mahjong's true form, a ghost with a human body.
She knew Mahjong was powerful, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong. She also didn't understand why Mahjong would help Lin Xi. In short, the end result was a complete loss, as seen on the HR lady's face. Not only was her money completely drained, but she also didn't have enough to cover next month's expenses.
Lin Xi folded his hands, resting his chin on his fingers, and looked at the virtual screen in front of him with a smile: "Well, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you listen to me for this month, I will let you go." The HR lady listened to Lin Xi's words but remained unmoved. It was not until the strength in her shoulders increased that she raised her eyes to look at Lin Xi: "Can you make the decision?"
"Of course I can."
The HR representative observed Lin Xi for a moment, confirming that the ghost behind her didn't show any expression change while she was speaking. Only then did she confirm that what Lin Xi said was true. She gritted her teeth. Between being killed by the Mahjong ghost and trading with Lin Xi, she chose the latter. The virtual light screen collected the fee and vanished.
Chen Sangning had been exceptionally effective today, reducing Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao's points to zero. Lin Xi noticed that Chen Sangning had been quite impressive at mahjong these past two days. She was curious if her memory had regained some of its composure, so she decided to ask Ningning after work.
After the virtual screen disappeared, the HR lady breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Shen Sangning still floating, her expression became a little strange. She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it. She pointed at Shen Sangning and asked, "I've already completed the transaction, why haven't you disappeared yet?"
Lin Xi tilted her head: "Why did she disappear?"
"Mahjong ghosts can only move when Mahjong is activated. This is common sense."
Lin Xi finally understood that the HR lady had mistaken Chen Sang Ning for a Mahjong ghost. Unfortunately, Chen Sang Ning was not a Mahjong ghost. Lin Xi chuckled, "No one told you she was a Mahjong ghost. She's my wife, a marriage ghost."
Lin Xi's phrase "marriage ghost" was actually made up based on the "marriage knot", but the HR lady actually believed it.
She murmured to herself, "There are ghosts like marriage ghosts?"
At this moment, the HR lady finally understood. The Mahjong ghost hadn't harmed her; it was simply staying there quietly, following its own rules. Lin Xi had a ghost more powerful than her own, so she was defeated. It wasn't a bad defeat, either. The ghost world is all about the survival of the fittest. She was weaker than the other one, and she didn't know how she had accidentally violated their rules. As a ghost, she should accept it.
The HR lady sighed deeply and raised her hand to ask Xiao Zhao for a cigarette.
Xiao Zhao is also poor now, so he said, "A cigarette costs 100 yuan."
The HR lady took her hand back: "I don't have money, and I can't buy it even if I have money." Xiao Zhao then remembered that the HR lady was just like Uncle Li, who had lost all his pants, and he was also responsible for a small part of it. If he had reminded the HR lady before she sat down at the card table, then the HR lady would have
I can still escape.
But then again, why should he remind the HR lady?
The HR lady leaned back, her back resting on the back of the chair, and then asked Lin Xi: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Lin Xi thought for a moment and asked again, "What exactly is the Rule Strange Talk live broadcast room? What exactly does the guy behind it want to do?"
The HR lady pursed her lips and thought for a long time before answering, "I don't know either, but the boss might know what's going on behind the scenes." As soon as these words came out, Lin Xi's three colleagues trembled. Lin Xi did not miss this point. She guessed that the reason these employees trembled was because they heard the word "boss".
They had shown before that they were quite afraid of the boss.
While Lin Xi was thinking, Chen Sangning landed, resting her head on top of Lin Xi's. She stared at the HR lady across from her, making her hair run down. Chen Sangning expressed her desire, "Lin Xi, honey, I'm so hungry. Can I eat her?" Lin Xi finally realized that Chen Sangning hadn't eaten anything today. She touched the hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, honey. I'll take you to eat when we're on patrol later."
Shen Sangning still stared at the HR lady across from her. From Shen Sangning's silent protest, Lin Xi understood: "Is the guy across from her particularly strong?"
“It’s delicious, better than the others.”
Hearing what Shen Sangning said, the HR lady couldn't help but lean back a little, and even the chair was rubbed against the ground by her, making a harsh sound. So it seems that the HR lady is really strong.
But don't be in a hurry. Being strong means that she knows more things. Lin Xi wanted to ask questions, but Uncle Li reminded her that it was almost time to go on patrol.
Lin Xi hummed, rising from her seat. She wasn't sure who would come to trouble her if she violated the employee code. It could be Uncle Li and the others, or security, or even some ghost. But she had a new idea: she wouldn't be so quick to trigger the rules and have them come to her.
Lin Xi didn't go with the HR lady this time. When the HR lady came to her side out of habit, Lin Xi said, "Don't follow me, I have something to do." The HR lady didn't understand: "What do you want?"
"Find food for my wife."
The HR lady watched Shen Sang Ning return to Lin Xi's body, and she couldn't help but shudder. She really didn't want to see this scene, even from a ghost's perspective it seemed a bit perverted. After she followed Sister Sun away, she realized belatedly: "Aren't the ghosts in the funeral home afraid of her? How could a ghost rush up to her to eat?"
"How would I know if you ask me that?"
Neither of them had expected that after Lin Xi finished patrolling, he would head straight for the back mountain. Actually, patrolling didn't take long, and the rest of the time was spent slacking off. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well try his luck in the back mountain.
Although the cremation process was completed by car and the mausoleum could be accessed through another method, the funeral home itself was partially connected to the back mountain. From behind Lin Xi's dormitory, one could directly access the mountain to see the stone tablet. The only problem was that there was no road, so one had to walk out on their own.
Time was running out, so Lin Xi didn't plan to take the main road up the mountain, so he just found a place and climbed up.
Although it had been cloudy for days, it hadn't rained yet, so the soil on the back hill was very solid, and Lin Xi had good skills, so there was no problem stepping on it. But some places were not very convenient, so he had to use his hands and feet, and at this time he could only hold the flashlight in his mouth and grab the protruding rocks to climb up.
The stone tablet and the mausoleum were not in very high places, and the mountain behind it was not high either, so after climbing for a while, Lin Xi climbed to the path in front of the mausoleum. After she stood on it, she patted the dirt off her body, then took the flashlight in her hand and shone it around.
Honestly, this environment was terrifying enough. In real life, Lin Xi would never venture into the cemetery at night. She was just an ordinary person, after all. How could she possibly do such a thing? But in the world of ghost stories, it was possible. After all, her wife was a ghost, a very powerful one at that.
The pale flashlight shone across the corridor, landing on the numerous stone tablets. The center of the tablets was made of obsidian, which reflected the light, making them look particularly creepy. Lin Xi looked directly at the stone tablet he had climbed up. The style of the tablet was actually very similar to Shen Sangning's.
The body of each tombstone was made of marble, and the back was made of obsidian. Carved on it were the date of death, the person who erected the tombstone, the deceased's name, and a photograph of the deceased. The photograph was black and white, with the eyes closed and the face expressionless, looking somewhat different from the real person.
The moment Lin Xi shone the flashlight over there, the eyes that were originally closed in the photo opened, and the dull expression on the face also showed a bit of anger.
According to Uncle Li, this feeling was similar to falling asleep after a spa treatment, only to have some idiot knock on your door and wake you up. Lin Xi was even more ruthless than that idiot. Seeing that the owner of the stone tablet was already awake, she simply squatted down.
There was a square stone in front of the stele. In real life, it would probably be an urn, but now it was probably a place for ghosts to be kept. Lin Xi was squatting in front of the urn. With an angry expression on his face in the photo, he reached out and knocked on the square stone. "Don't sleep anymore. Get up. I have something to talk to you about."
The square stone shook twice, and then Lin Xi saw a hand stretched out from inside the stone. Lin Xi quickly stood up and made way to the side.
Not long after, a man suddenly emerged from the stone. He looked exactly like the man in the photo, with an angry expression on his face. However, the moment he saw Lin Xi clearly, his expression turned to astonishment, and then to ecstasy.
It's like suddenly realizing that the idiot knocking on your door while you're having a SPA session is actually reminding you to have a big meal.
