Chapter 80: Involution to the Underworld
"As expected of Lord Ji, your perception is indeed sharp."
The Skin-Flayer's voice sounded like countless people talking at the same time, with varying pitches:
"I just wanted to come visit and...borrow your sweetheart's skin."
Ji Yunzhou was so angry that he laughed out loud: "Borrow my skin? You put it so lightly, like borrowing toilet paper."
Is it yours? Borrow it!
He said disdainfully, "Do you know how precious Gu Yuan's skin is? I take good care of it every day, do regular treatments, and even use the most expensive sunscreen. How can you just borrow it?"
The skin-flaying ghost was stunned by his words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"But then again."
Ji Yunzhou suddenly narrowed his eyes. "I'm actually very curious. Who gave you the courage to act so wildly here? Those old-fashioned old-fashioned people?"
The skin-flaying ghost's body stiffened noticeably.
"It is indeed so."
Ji Yunzhou sighed: "What conditions did they offer you? A better appearance? Or a promise of a high position after the success?"
The skin-peeling ghost was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a shrill laugh: "Master Ji is indeed smart. In this case, I won't hide it from you.
Lord Zhou promised that if I could successfully possess your beloved and pin the blame on the maintenance group, he would give me a formal position in the underworld, with five social insurances and one housing fund, and paid annual leave."
Ji Yunzhou almost choked on his own saliva: "How much? Paid annual leave?"
He couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. "Are evil spirits so pragmatic nowadays? They even want five social insurances and one housing fund?"
"Master Ji, times have changed."
The skin-flaying ghost actually explained seriously, "We evil spirits have to think about a way out now. We can't just be locked up until we die, right? It's better to get a job than to waste our time."
Ji Yunzhou was left speechless and didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
He rubbed his temples, feeling his headache getting worse. "So you're trying to get a job and come after my Gu Yuan?"
“In fact, I refused at first.”
The skin-peeling ghost actually began to complain: "But Lord Zhou said this was an easy job, saying that you were obsessed with love recently and your vigilance had decreased. Who knew..."
It seemed aggrieved: "I know your strength..."
Ji Yunzhou was so angry that he laughed: "Then do I still have to say sorry to you?"
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. Ji Yunzhou glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Li Chuan.
"Wait a minute, I have a call."
He made a pause gesture to the skin-flaying ghost, as if the other party was not an evil spirit coming to take his life, but a neighbor visiting.
After pressing the answer button, Li Chuan's anxious voice came over: "We've checked! It was definitely the conservatives who did it! They bribed a jailer and deliberately let the skin-peeling ghost go.
The purpose is to create a rift between you and me, so that you will side with them because Gu Yuan is threatened..."
“…”
Ji Yunzhou interrupted him: "Tell me something I don't know."
"Well……"
Li Chuan paused and said cheerfully, "Also, Ah Jing and I are officially together today, and he even said he would make me a heart-warming lunch box..."
Ji Yunzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Congratulations, it took you so long to trick him into giving it to you."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunzhou turned his attention back to the skin-peeling ghost.
I found that it was still waiting there, even peeking out of curiosity.
"The call quality in your underworld seems to be not very good."
The Skin-Flayer commented, "I've heard the general idea. So what do we do now? Are you going to take me back?"
Ji Yunzhou was amused by its obedient attitude of waiting to be captured: "You are very cooperative?"
"Well, since the mission failed anyway, I'll be punished if I go back."
The skin-peeling ghost sighed, "Why not cooperate? Maybe you can get leniency. By the way, how are you reformists treated? Do you also have five social insurances and one housing fund?"
Ji Yunzhou raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes, yes, there are also year-end bonuses and team-building trips."
Then he slowly took out a small gourd from his pocket and said, "Come in, I'll take you to a new home."
The skin-peeling ghost hesitated for a moment. "What's the environment like? A private room or shared accommodation? Is there WiFi?"
“There is full WiFi coverage and a small courtyard.”
Ji Yunzhou said nonsense seriously: "24-hour hot water, the neighbors are all very interesting evil spirits, you can have a tea party together."
The skin-peeling ghost seemed very satisfied with this arrangement, and took the initiative to transform into a wisp of black smoke and drilled into the gourd.
Ji Yunzhou corked the bottle and couldn't help but sigh, "Is recruiting evil spirits like a welfare benefit now? Tsk tsk tsk~"
He shook the gourd gently, listening to the satisfied humming sound coming from it, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
It's so easy to cheat. I didn't even have to do anything.
WiFi? Team building? Dream on!
This kind of thing that has caused great harm to people and has even caused human lives to be lost should go to the bottom of the eighteen levels of hell and repent!
The fire signal there is guaranteed to be so good that you won’t even be able to cry!
You want to take the civil service exam after you've killed someone?
Still wanting paid annual leave? That's like a toad marrying a swan and wanting to eat her flesh.
You wish!
As soon as he returns, he will write a detailed report and must recommend to the King of Hell to strengthen the control of all levels of units in the underworld.
Especially the evil ideological education and work discipline management, don’t just learn from the good things and let your souls be corrupted by these capitalist sugar-coated bullets!
He put away the gourd, turned and walked towards the elevator, and did not forget to adjust his hair as he pressed the button.
As a family man, image management is very important. After all, the little cutie at home likes to see him dressed up nicely.
The elevator door opened, and Bai Wuchang, holding a briefcase, stood inside. He immediately stood at attention when he saw Ji Yunzhou.
"Hello, Master Ji! You look exceptionally handsome today!"
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and walked into the elevator: "What? The conservatives even bribed you? You're suddenly so talkative."
Bai Wuchang was so frightened that he kept waving his hands. "No, no! It was Master Li who said he wanted to improve the emotional intelligence of his employees, so he invited a training institution from the mortal world to teach. The first lesson was 'Ten Techniques of Praising'..."
"..." Ji Yunzhou was completely speechless.
He threw the gourd to Bai Wuchang: "Take it, send it directly to the Ninth Prison. As usual, all the torture instruments will be used before it is locked up. Watch it closely this time. If it escapes again..."
He narrowed his eyes and didn't finish the rest of his words, but they were full of threats.
"Yes, yes! I promise to complete the task! Don't worry, sir!"
Bai Wuchang hugged the gourd tightly, bowed, and disappeared in the elevator in an instant.
The elevator slowly rose. At this moment, Ji Yunzhou just wanted to go back and hug his little cutie, and think about how to settle the score with Li Chuan.
After all, it was his negligence in management that led to this farce.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Gu Yuan was lying on the bed reading a book. The sun was shining outside the window, making the place look particularly peaceful and beautiful.
Hearing the door open, he looked up with a puzzled expression: "Are you done?"
Ji Yunzhou nodded, climbed onto the bed and hugged him in his arms: "Well, a small problem has been solved."
Gu Yuan nuzzled into his arms. "That's good. By the way, I just received a very strange call from someone who claims to be from the Human Resources Department of the Netherworld. They're asking if you're interested in switching jobs there and becoming... the head of the ghost hunting department? They even promised you two days off a week and a year-end bonus."
Ji Yunzhou: “…”
It seems that the conservatives are determined to poach our employees, even the human resources department has been mobilized.
He sighed deeply, buried his face in the crook of Gu Yuan's neck and muttered, "No, no, no, no matter how many benefits you offer me, I won't go. I'd rather be around you every day than go back and fight with those old antiques."
Gu Yuan chuckled and stroked his hair: "Okay, okay, then I won't go. But to be honest, the underworld is getting more and more creative nowadays. Even the human resources department of the underworld has come out."
Ji Yunzhou hugged him silently, thinking that he must go find Li Chuan to settle this account.
