Chapter 53: Heartbreaking
[Assistant, coffee. 】
For the third time, Zhang Sheng looked up from the desk he had moved out of the office and set up next to the arbor, and heard Cui Yu's silent voice.
He did not explain the secret of Jinghunji's mind-reading ability to Qiao Mu and the two new members, so it seemed that this was the third time that he got up on his own initiative and went to the tea room to make coffee for the new president.
There is a big age gap between the two people who passed the interview. One is Liu Zhu, an old craftsman who can repair magic instruments. The uncle has a typical fat body and looks like a round-headed fat pig with squinting eyes and a smile when he is sitting there not talking. But he is good at repairing things, and he repaired Zhang Sheng’s desk legs.
Not to mention the other one, Yu Duo, who was sent by the Yu family and was obsessed with chasing stars, was kicked out of the house by his parents after screwing up a big family business. He came to Zhang Sheng to solve his employment problem.
But it was not Zhang Sheng who was in charge of the interview, but the president.
The moment Yu Duo saw his idol, his eyes had never been so bright and full. He was always in a state of surprise, and he extended the two-sentence self-introduction he had prepared for half an hour, just to let Cui Yu stay with him. .
"Old Zhu, my watch suddenly stopped spinning. Do you think it can be repaired?"
Liu Zhu was called out by the only girl in the office. He came back to his senses and rubbed his fingers briefly on the edge of his brown apron to wipe away the fine sweat. , took it with both hands steadily: "It can, it can definitely be repaired... Miss Mumu, let me help you take a look."
Yu Duo slumped on the table and yawned. Seeing how much Lao Zhu cared about the little girl, he couldn't help but joke: "Uncle, you're not angry when people call you a pig, you don't understand, you don't understand...ah...it's so boring! Why doesn't this firm have any cases? I'm so idle!"
Liu Zhu took out his tool box, He unscrewed the tiny screws on the watch case without looking up: "It's hairy? It can be repaired."
Yu Duo's eyelids twitched: "Haha...Uncle, you are really humorous. I mean, the passion here can't be compared with what I imagined." Same thing, I thought Zhang Sheng could send me to get a few big orders so that I could avenge my shame!" Yu
Duo looked at the old acquaintance who was making coffee silently in the tea room. He just kept silent and sulked all morning. Yes, he can understand the grievance of the firm that he worked so hard to run being acquired by Master Duojin, but that... that's Cui Yu!
The supreme magic weapon that can take the form of a human being can penetrate the wonderful meaning of the human world. Only by combining the right time, right place, people, and miracles can it be nurtured into such a wonderful spirit!
His admiration is beyond words!
His love is ready to come out!
No matter how much I like the handsome man in the office, I regret more and more that I didn't snatch it away and make it my own.
In order to learn the Yu family's escape skills, Zhang Sheng personally promised Yu Duo that he could exchange the magic weapon with it. However, the master agreed, but Ni Shisan was not happy and treated him coldly and refused to look at him again.
"I only recognize one master, please come back."
Yu Duo was unwilling to accept it. He was thirsty for talents and was full of curiosity about Ni Shisan. He wanted to understand who made this supreme magic weapon and how it turned into a peerless one. Beautiful man.
Back then, he escaped from Yin Yang Street by means of escape skills. He was seriously injured and life-threatening. He had no choice but to turn into a cave with the help of resurrection skills. He lay down in a coffin and rested for a hundred years.
The first thing he did after waking up was to come to Zhang Sheng to collect his debt and return the magic weapon owed to him.
After this strange two hundred years, he touched the face that remained at the age of twenty, and complained that he had not yet enjoyed the feeling of traveling purely by being handsome!
"Hey, Sister Mumu, why do you think Zhang Sheng is willing to bow his head? I still remember that when he wanted to give Ni Shisan to me before, he didn't even blink. His status showed itself."
Qiao Mu spent time with Zhang Sheng. It was a difficult time to retrieve her memory, so she could immediately think of the supreme magic weapon Duo said, but she couldn't figure it out. With Zhang Sheng's personality, he would not bow to his ex even if the situation was overwhelming, and now he is Serve whom?
Zhang Sheng once said that his "friend" made him love and hate him at the same time, and turned his whole life upside down. As a result, he just walked away when he was most confused and helpless.
She could see the locked office and Zhang Sheng's tightly wrapped collar.
This man was just toying with him, and to put it more plainly, it was an insult.
"The magic weapon you're talking about is Cui Yu, right?"
Qiao Mu crumpled the material paper on the table into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Oh... I shouldn't have said it. That's right. You weren't even born when they were invincible. Haha, it will be another two hundred years..."
"Yu Duo, you talk too much."
Zhang Sheng helplessly walked out of the tea room. He walked out and placed the brewed jasmine tea in front of the boy, "You are not used to bitter tea. I'll give you a drink to rinse your mouth with, and then shut up."
Rinse your mouth with it, and don't let the facts be told.
Yu Duo lay back in the swivel chair angrily, looked for words again, and patted Qiao Mu: "Sister Mumu, you are not curious about how I got the interview. When we first met, you didn't ask me how I met your former boss and your current boss? "
Zhang Sheng walked towards the office holding the coffee cup, stopped an inch away from the door, and knocked twice.
【Unlocked. ]
Zhang Sheng's mouth trembled slightly, his eyes rolled around in disgust, and he opened the door with his foot.
"President, your coffee is ready."
Cui Yu stopped the pen in his hand, took off the gold-rimmed glasses from the bridge of his nose, and tapped on the table at hand, "Put it here."
Zhang Sheng looked at him with strange eyes . Today's appearance, muttering: "You have eyes as good as a wild wolf, and you still wear glasses?..."
Cui Yu raised his eyes: "Radiation protection."
Zhang Sheng: "..."
Damn logical genius, invulnerable to evil Ghosts are afraid of radiation when they see monsters that are hiding away. Why don't they say they are afraid of catkins?
"Yu Duo can't control his mouth. If you recruit him into the club, aren't you afraid of causing panic to the other two members?"
Just imagine, the young man sitting next to you at work every day has actually lived an extra two years with his own magic. Aren't you afraid that after more than a hundred years, your body is in better shape and your appearance is still the same as before?
Cui Yu replied confidently: "Is there a normal person in this room? Is it me or you?"
Zhang Sheng had nothing to say, so he put it in his pocket in embarrassment, but it was so clean that it was slippery, the chewing gum was gone, and the cigarette case was confiscated, leaving only The next two helpless fingers grasped the slippery fabric of the lining.
Despite his appearance, Lao Zhu is an unassuming and honest craftsman. He told the truth on the day of the interview that his workmanship was so superb that he was targeted by many big bosses and famous ghost exorcists. However, he repaired magic weapons, which depends on his mood. Depends on fate, he won't take action even if the fate is not there.
As a result, he was targeted by a group of unreasonable profiteers in the underground trading market. In addition to one chieftain, there were thousands of people behind him. Lao Zhu couldn't bear the daily pursuit and torture, so he wanted to find a place where he could work and eat in peace. place to take shelter from the wind.
You would dare to ask for such an employee, let alone Yu Duo who crawled out of the cave.
As for Qiao Mu, this little girl is just an ordinary person who dropped out of junior high school and is penniless. Her psychic ability is not considered superb. It took several Zhang Shengs just to enter the ghost realm without suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. Months of patient teaching.
Channeling is the most basic requirement for a ghost exorcist. If you can't see any evil spirits or ghosts, then it's almost impossible to refine your magic and become a powerful ghost exorcist.
Among the apprentices she had taught, Qiao Mu was the least talented one. She could barely reach the passing mark. Perhaps she was better at helping Zhang Sheng do some office assistant work. She was very careful and knew how to deal with things tactfully.
"Qiao Mu, she is quite normal. This girl is good and considerate..."
Cui Yu sneered: "Oh, she is a ghost."
The corners of Zhang Sheng's mouth stopped at the arc of the last moment, and he stopped moving, and his eyes sank. .
"The human form you used two layers of mana to create for her is excellent and almost seamless, but you don't know that I have seen her before."
Zhang Sheng looked at the ground without blinking, and he shouldn't have recalled it again. The day Qiao Mu appeared at the door of the office, the man was able to see through his illusion. He didn't expect that for the sake of these two "seamless" masks, Zhang Sheng did not hesitate to use forbidden magic and broke his body and rested for several months. .
That day, Qiao Mu was covered in blood, walking on a street full of people, but no one looked at her. Why was she holding a beating heart in her hand? The sticky and tangy smell of blood was so real that it didn't feel like a nightmare, but she had no idea.
After walking for a long time, the sun set and the street lights came on.
She looked at her feet in a daze, but there was no shadow.
She had not killed anyone. Instead, she climbed out of a pile of corpses and looked at the blood flowing on her clothes in horror.
Even though she had only studied theory classes in junior high school and was not serious about studying, she still knew that a person whose heart was ripped out would not survive.
The rhythm of her heart beat against her eardrums, and she couldn't help but tremble when she held her wet, soft, soft hands. Her eyes were wet with tears, but she still walked forward aimlessly...
Do you want to go to the hospital?
Or call the police.
Is this heart my own?
Am I dead? Am I dead?
Who can save me? No one can see me, but I am obviously a living person. Why am I here? Who can take me home?
She walked alone late into the night until a bright LED light sign not far away attracted her attention - Z Detective Agency, if you need anything, see me.
This slogan was so tacky that she couldn't help crying: "Ugh...help me! Please...I'm going to die..."
Zhang Sheng was browsing forum posts with a cigarette in his mouth when he suddenly heard someone downstairs. The girl cried and opened the window.
Qiao Mu held his head high, holding his still-beating heart with blood in his hand. His face was mixed with snot and tears, and he was sobbing: "Brother...can you see me? Help me."
Later, Qiao Mu looked at it. Zhang Sheng looked through an ancient book with a sad face, smoked several more cigarettes, and finally looked at her helplessly and said: "Girl, you should still be alive, but you have been cast by some kind of curse, which separated your heart from your body and lingered in the air." Between the human world and the underworld, mortals can't see you, and I can't help you transfer your soul..."
Qiao Mu squatted down in despair, holding his chest and sobbing: "Then I can only live like this...can I live like this..."
See me if you need anything.
Zhang Sheng did not say this nonsense.
He did not hesitate to use forbidden magic, and at the cost of straining his internal organs, he created an illusion skin for the girl, which allowed mortals to see her existence and hear her voice.
The definition of alive is very broad and simple, it means being able to affect every detail of the world, to interact and to feel.
Even if such an "entity" was false, it was enough for Qiao Mu that night.
