Chapter 057 I Don’t Want to Be a Wife
The HR lady also realized it belatedly: "So the aunt was eaten by your wife? Then those employees who disappeared for no reason later also went into your wife's stomach?"
Lin Xi felt even more guilty after being exposed by her: "It's not a big deal. The boss doesn't care anyway."
The HR lady gritted her teeth. She was not sad for her colleagues, but regretted that if she had investigated, she might have discovered something fishy about Lin Xi. This was not an ordinary human who was harmless to humans and animals, but a treasure chest monster. Everyone was attracted by her beautiful appearance, and when they approached her, the treasure chest monster opened its bloody mouth and ate the greedy guys directly.
After the interrogation, they each spent the rest of the time doing their own things. Lin Xi and his wife played little finger-twisting games, and even played childish games like "Fly, fly, fly to the flowers." Lin Xi had stopped playing these games after graduating from junior high, but now playing with Shen Sangning felt different.
They replaced the "slap slap" sound of the void with a nose scratch. Shen Sangning was scratched on the nose several times. She was a little unconvinced and wrinkled her nose: "I will definitely win!"
"You can definitely win, you're Ningning!"
Seeing them like this, Sister Sun, who was slacking off, couldn't continue. She put down the scarf she was knitting and was about to chat with the HR lady when she saw the HR lady approaching. She whispered to Sister Sun, "Hey, they are playing so perverted. Is this how Lin Xi plays with ghosts? Could the so-called fate ghost be caught by her through special methods? I heard that there are Taoist priests on the human side."
When she mentioned the Taoist priest, she felt the same way as humans do when they talk about ghosts. Goose bumps appeared all over her body. The HR lady couldn't help but rub her arms. "There are also stories that say Taoist priests would arrange ghost marriages, and capture female ghosts like me who are not well-versed in the world and don't have a partner to marry someone else. That must be how her marriage ghost came about!"
As she spoke, a look of fear appeared on the face of the HR lady: "She won't! She won't want to take me away for a ghost marriage, right? I'm pretty strong! I'm not bad looking either. I don't want it! I don't want to be a concubine!"
Sister Sun glanced at the HR lady and said, "You're a ghost, and you're still discriminating against homosexuals. You're even more old-fashioned than me."
"I may have been a ghost for longer, but I just look younger than you."
Xiao Zhao was sitting not far from them. When he heard what they said, he sighed, "It's great to have something I like. I wish I could be with my goddess."
"Did you get close to the girl? Didn't you say you wanted to eat her?"
"Not yet. She has a boyfriend and she said she would beat me up if she saw me getting close to her again."
As they chatted, Cai Hua, in the real world, frowned. She had received quite a bit of information today. First, it turned out that every ghost had its own rules. This was consistent with their previous assumptions: every ghost had its own rules. Shen Sangning's rules were still unclear, and they didn't know how to help Lin Xi and Shen Sangning.
Secondly, in the world of rule-based ghost stories, there used to be the concept of "people". Not only people, but there might even be Taoist priests. After all, there are ghosts, so it's normal to have a Taoist priest catch ghosts.
But now, I'm afraid, there are not many people. This is the third copy that humans have experienced, but in each anchor's live broadcast room, except for the anchor himself, no human can be seen. This makes Cai Hua very doubtful whether there are any living people in this world.
Whether it exists now or not, it must have existed in the past.
Cai Hua wrote this down on the blackboard. She frowned and continued to think. The HR lady's words "I've been a ghost for a long time" made Cai Hua wonder... Is it possible for ghosts to have a human stage? Judging from Chen Sang Ning's situation, it is likely that there is. But Chen Sang Ning is different from them. She is a ghost who sneaked from the real world to the world of rule ghost stories. She is not quite the same as them, so Cai Hua cannot make a conclusion before this.
But based on the content of their conversation, it is very likely that ghosts did have a period as human beings.
Cai Hua waved her hand, and her student Li Lana pushed the glass plate in front of her away and replaced it with the previous one. It was densely written with the information obtained in Lin Xi's live broadcast room. The most important one was to replace the current owner of the funeral home and become the new owner of the funeral home.
Cai Hua obviously still had concerns about this matter, and she had told Li Lana about it before.
——If Lin Xi follows her current pace, then replacing the current boss is a foregone conclusion. But will becoming the boss have any impact on Lin Xi? For example, will it turn Lin Xi into a ghost? All employees in the funeral home are ghosts except Lin Xi, and of course the boss is also a ghost. If becoming the boss turns you into a ghost, this is not a good thing for most people, but a bad thing.
Cai Hua also considered making Shen Sangning the boss. Shen Sangning was a ghost, and she had a close relationship with Lin Xi, making her the boss would be the most acceptable thing for everyone. But Cai Hua quickly dismissed this idea. From the funeral home employees' words and their own observations, it was clear that ghosts in this world of ghost stories had their own rules.
She had the same idea as Lin Xi, that Shen Sang Ning might not have any rules, or that she might have rules but she herself didn't know them. This made Cai Hua quickly overturn the idea of letting Shen Sang Ning become the boss. If she didn't have any rules, or had rules with fewer constraints, but added rules just because she became the boss, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Cai Hua was ready to wait for a while. Now she could follow Lin Xi's pace and see if she could overthrow the boss. Even if she didn't become the boss, they could still get a lot of information by observing the process of overthrowing the boss, which was definitely not a wasted effort. Although it was an exaggeration to say so, Cai Hua was happy to see Lin Xi do something challenging. If it was another anchor, Cai Hua would just think about how he could survive and be as cautious as possible.
But Lin Xi was different. She had the capital to be arrogant, so Cai Hua hoped to see her occasionally cross the line. Because of Lin Xi's unusualness, Cai Hua's team had significantly increased in size, from about fifty to one hundred and fifty. Everyone wished they had three pairs of eyes, observing Lin Xi's every move.
Most people here have a degree in psychology, and there are also several social customs scholars and Taoism researchers who study the world of rules and strange stories.
They did find a lot of strange things, the first of which was the screen. In the world of Rule Ghost Stories, there were very few electronic screens, except for the TV in Lin Xi's home. Before, it was a household color TV of unknown brand, but now it is a brand that can be found in the real world. After Lin Xi and "Jia" established a certain relationship, Cai Hua and the others had to accept that "Jia had obtained some real-world intelligence from Lin Xi."
Come.
But apart from these two places, there were almost no electronic display screens. There were none in the elevator. The elevator was completely empty. Not to mention the electronic display screens used to play advertisements, there were no product posters. There should be one in the convenience store at the entrance of the community, but because the salesperson's computer was facing away from Lin Xi, he could only see the back of a white cash register computer and could not see the screen, so this was also questionable.
There is no such thing on the bus either. Nowadays, buses usually have one or two electronic display screens.
It is used to play advertisements and also serves as a reminder of arrival at the bus stop. However, on buses, only the electronic display above the front of the bus shows the bus number plate.
There were no electronic displays inside the funeral home. There were no screens in the waiting room downstairs either. There were screens in the duty room, but they were fake, and the screens inside were motionless.
The absence of the electronic display made Cai Hua wonder: Why is it gone? Along with the electronic display, the mobile phone also disappeared. So far, Cai Hua has not seen any ghost holding a mobile phone.
Is it that there are no mobile phones in this world? How do ghosts communicate remotely? It can't be relying on soul power, right?
This doesn't make sense. Some ghosts are strong, some are weak, and some have greater or lesser soul power. What should the weak ghosts do in this situation? There must be some kind of communication prop, but it has not been discovered yet. Cai Hua wrote this information on the blackboard and assigned a team member to focus on this point.
The "Survival is Work" dungeon isn't actually that challenging. The duration is long, so the monsters aren't that strong. Perhaps it's just that the monsters aren't that strong in the early stages. Aside from the high number of deaths during the three days of job hunting, casualties have stabilized. Thirty-seven streamers are still alive, including Lin Xi and He Sitong, the "All-Friendly" streamer.
Needless to say, Lin Xi had not shown any signs of dying so far, and He Sitong had also relied on her cautious principle of survival, so she had not encountered any major crisis. Even if she encountered a difficult customer, her senior would help solve the problem.
Well, it’s solved in a physical sense.
But we still can't be careless. Through Lin Xi's live broadcast room, everyone knows that those ghosts are temporarily protecting humans, not because they are really on the side of humans, but because they want to keep them for a while and wait for a suitable opportunity to eat them.
He Sitong, who is known as “Friendly to All Things”, is not just a little girl who is lucky enough to obtain the golden legendary talent. She is cautious and thoughtful. Although she has been hiding, she has also obtained a lot of information.
In fact, the senior sister who treated her warmly in her live broadcast room was not always gentle and friendly. Sometimes, she would get angry. There were a few times when He Sitong was frightened by the warm sister and her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but the warm sister would just smile and walk past her as if nothing had happened.
The feeling was like a cat catching a mouse, which made He Sitong very uncomfortable.
As time went by, He Sitong also found that the degree of teasing by the enthusiastic sister was increasing. In addition to the sister, other employees would also tease He Sitong.
On the thirteenth day of work, when He Sitong was about to get off work, she suddenly heard a series of ping-pong sounds. She walked out from the side of the shelf and saw the elder sister slowly hitting her head against her neck, twisting her neck and smiling at He Sitong.
