6. Chapter 6
If it weren't for her parents who felt that being an athlete was too hard and persuaded her to change careers to take over the hotel group, she would have been fully capable of becoming an Olympian. When I was in high school, I sprinted and relayed the last baton, and when I was in college, I was invincible in the Universiade. "It is a shrine for everyone, and no matter what is enshrined in it, it should be kept strong, beautiful, and clean." She has always insisted on exercising, and she likes this sentence very much.
But now this body, just after running 200 meters, is already dizzy. Fortunately, not far from the gate, You Xinian gritted his teeth and rushed out. The doorman shouted to her behind her that she would not look back, and walked briskly along the main road for a few more minutes, turning into the small park.
By this time it was nightfall, and even the people walking the dogs had gone back to sleep.
You Xinnian held on to the trunk of the tree and gasped for air, his stomach tumbling into the sea. Thinking of the death of herself and her parents, suddenly a strong force against gravity rushed out of her throat and vomited with a "vomit".
She had never been so wolfish before, vomiting all over the ground and tears streaming down her face. The only consolation was that no one saw her wolf bรจi.
The night is bright and the stars are scarce, and the moonlight tonight is very beautiful.
With water bought from a 24-hour supermarket in his hand, You Xinnian sat on a park bench with all his strength.
The streetlamp cut through the heavy black, propping up a smooth space and casting a light on her. Her eyes were straight, without a trace of strength, and she stared blankly at the puffy fingers and the green bottle cap.
If she is dead, why did she come back?
The corners of You Xinnian's mouth twitched, and he actually smiled.
Death is a great thing. The dead are cut off from the world, and there is no need for fear, no thoughts, and no hatred. Knowing nothing is blissful, without worry.
Why did she come back? Why come back.
"Do you want to know?"
You Xinnian raised her head and found a woman in a black trench coat standing in front of her. The strange woman, with a smile and a sense of intelligence, was tall, with long black hair, a collar and hands in her pockets, waiting for her answer leisurely. If it weren't for her shiny skin, this black would almost melt into the night.
It was this person who answered her heart just now.
You Xinian didn't answer, just looked at her.
"Oh, don't look at me so vigilantly." The woman approached, her hands still not taken out, and she bent down to look left and right at her face, "Tut-tut...... It's not your own body, so take care of it. After all, you're going to stay in this body for two years, and don't toss and break up before your last wish is fulfilled. โ
"Two years? Wishes? You Xinnian was surprised for a moment, and suddenly grabbed the other party's arm hard, "Who are you?" You know what's going on. โ
The woman sighed: "Miss You, you don't even remember me?" โ
Called "Miss You", You Xinnian, who was ignored by her lover, actually had a trace of affection for the person in front of her, let go of her arm and was silent for a while: "I'm really dead, right?" โ
A couple had been looking at her since just now.
"Why does that person keep talking to himself, it's terrible." The girl said.
The man smiled: "Maybe your brain is crushed by fat, don't worry about it, go." โ
You Xinnian: "......"
The woman glanced back, and a stray dog slowly walked over, as if it didn't sense anyone in front of it, and passed through the woman's body, like through a puff of smoke.
You Xinnian: "............"
"I'll reintroduce myself." The woman smiled and said, "My name is Yuwei, and I am your guide to Huangquan, and I belong to the Household Registration Management Office of the Underworld. I am responsible for everything you do until you are reborn in peace, and I will be responsible for you to the end. โ
You Xinnian didn't know why she sat face-to-face with a ghost in a late-night cafรฉ, although this jade lady affirmed that she was not a ghost, and her correct identity should be a civil servant in the underworld. But all passers-by could pass through her body, and she was like a solid, real-colored smoke, which was constantly broken up in the crowd, and soon condensed into a normal form.
You Xinnian stared at her as if he was watching a special effects movie. This self-proclaimed guide of the Yellow Springs is completely different from the official in her concept of the Netherworld, that is, there is no blue-faced fangs holding soul chains, and there is no long tongue on her legs to mop the floor. If it weren't for the physical penetration of the scenes, no matter how you look at it, you would feel that she is just an ordinary young white-collar worker.
And...... Hades' Household Registration Office? The name is not gloomy at all, it simply lives up to the title of "Hades".
"Miss, what do you want to drink?"
She used to come to this cafรฉ often with Lu Man, and the layout inside had not changed at all, as if time had stood still, and even the attitude of the waiter was the same as comfortable.
You Xinnian ordered a cup of coffee familiarly, and the waiter was about to leave, when Yuwei stretched out two fingers.
You Xinnian: "...... I'm sorry about that. โ
"How else can I help you?" The waiter turned around and smiled.
"Two drinks."
The waiter looked at her round face for a moment, then continued to smile: "Okay, please wait. โ
Yuyu: "It seems that Wang Fang's body is the right choice." โ
You Xinnian sighed "tsk", and was about to speak, when he suddenly thought that he was talking to himself here and being treated as a fool again, he took out the headset of his mobile phone from his pocket and put it on, and pretended to call: "Stop talking nonsense, say it quickly, what the hell is going on." โ
Yu Wei cleared his throat and wanted to say goodbye: "I've been in your human world for a few days, and I've been wrapped in exhaust smoke and haze all day long, and I haven't even fished up saliva to drink, but you let me moisten my throat." โ
"You ......"
Two cups of coffee were quickly served, and they were both placed in front of You Xinnian. You Xinnian pushed to the jade side, wondering if this was wrong: "Can you drink it?" โ
Yu Wei waved her hand at the coffee cup, and seeing that the coffee cup was about to be waved to the ground by her, You Xinian instinctively worried, and in the blink of an eye, her hand had passed through.
"It's a nuisance." Yu Wei rolled her eyes, "The food in your human world is really addictive...... Ah, sorry, you shouldn't have said 'you', you're not strictly human now. โ
You Xinnian pressed down more than fifty waves of thoughts about splashing hot coffee on the other party's face: "Since you can't drink it, let's say it." โ
"If you can drink it, you can drink it by lighting a stick of incense in front of the cup."
โโฆโฆโ
"Come on, I smell it, it's so fragrant."
"Where can I get you incense, I!"
"Aromatherapy is fine."
โโฆโฆโ
"I'm sorry." You Xinnian beckoned to the waiter, and the waiter trotted all the way over, "Excuse me, do you have any incense here?" โ
Waiter: "You mean?" โ
"Any fragrance can be used, just the aromatherapy kind."
"Okay...... Wait a minute, I'll get it for you. โ
Bringing the aromatherapy, the waiter helped her light it, inserted it on the small flower stand on the table, and asked worriedly: "Excuse me, do you think our restaurant smells?" โ
"No, I'm just ......" You Xin was in a hurry, and hurriedly brainstormed, "I want to pretend to be a force." โ
The waiters were stunned, probably never met such an honest person.
Leaning the aroma in front of the coffee cup, Jade moved to find the most comfortable position, propped up the left side of her face, and closed her eyes.
You Xinnian watched as the coffee in the coffee cup slowly decreased as if by magic, as if someone had secretly placed a straw at the bottom of the cup.
When the coffee bottomed out, Yu Wei slowly opened her eyes with a happy face: "I finally drank a cup of authentic coffee in the world, although it has a little fragrant gray smell, I can bear it." Hey, it's no wonder that the food business in the smugglers of the underworld is booming, and even the knockoffs shipped from the demon world are sold out, and there is a reason why it is expensive, and most of my salary last month was ......."
"Jade girl." You Xinnian interrupted her, "In this way, it's okay if you like the food in the world, I'll give you as much as you want, and it's no problem if you want to sit and eat, lie down and eat, as long as you tell me what happened." โ
Yu Wei cleared his throat, and was a little stunned: "At the beginning of this year, I told the fortune, saying that my Yin Tang was black and had bad luck, and I was bound to be unlucky." At that time, I kicked over the hexagram stall and beat the old man who was known as the 'Living Hades', but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"
You Xinnian waited for her eyebrows to dance, but she came to the top of a dark cloud, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
Yuwei has been working in the Hades Household Registration Management Office for 200 years, and when she first joined the company, she was very attentive to guiding the souls of the dead, and when she met a timid new ghost, she could hand the ghost a tissue to wipe her tears. Helped the old ghost to carry the little ghost, never touched the fish for eight hours at work, and sometimes when there was a major accident in the world, she volunteered to work overtime when the ghost group reported.
Yu Wei used to be so upright and red, and he despised the colleagues around him who were boiled oil by government agencies, and he also pointed to Huangquan Road and pointed to the knife and saw prison and swore to make a life, and he had to correct his work attitude in this life and be a useful person to the underworld.
But two hundred years have passed, and her young friends have been mixed up one by one, and nothing has changed except for more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. The good young man with ideals and ambitions at the beginning has also been reduced to a charred old fritter in a loose government agency. The boring and low-paying work grinds the sharp edges and corners of her body day after day, arriving late and leaving early, going to work and sleeping and chatting, as long as she can send the new ghosts to reincarnate obediently, she is too lazy to ask about anything else.
On a very ordinary day, Yu Wei got up late and took the shuttle bus to the unit, and found that several colleagues in the household registration hall were sitting around a girl, looking bitter. The girl had her back to her, and her long inked hair split into two sides and pulled up to her chest, revealing a delicate and fair neck with a tattoo on the neck, which appeared to be the English letter "L". No matter how much the people around her spoke, she was unmoved, and she didn't say a word.
I didn't see it, and just by feeling it, I knew that this must be a thorn in the head.
When the colleague saw that the most worried jade girl in the department was coming, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over to tell her about the situation.
"The deceased came early in the morning, sat still, and refused to go to the window to get the reincarnation certificate. I didn't say anything when I asked her what was going on, and she said something for hours. โ
Jade asked, "Say what." โ
"Let's just say that my wish is not fulfilled, and I want to return to the world, how is it possible." The colleague muttered quietly.
Yu Wei took her life and death book from her colleague's hand and flipped through it casually: "Oh, the one who was killed, no wonder, this kind of death is generally resentful, and if you don't make a fuss, you feel that you have died in vain." โ
"That ......"
Yu Wei patted the little colleague on the shoulder: "Little meaning, leave it to me." โ
Yu Wei walked towards You Xinnian and approached her with a smile full of business: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" โ
You Xinnian slowly turned his face sideways, and there was no expression on his cold face. It looks like he is wearing light makeup, but when he thinks about it, how can the deceased wear light makeup? Most of the deceased makeup in the world is very exaggerated, and it is very exaggerated to know the deceased, and those who don't know think that the paper doll is sent to the wrong place. The people in the household registration office are often startled at night, and once they are assigned to the night shift, they all cry and call their mothers.
This girl doesn't wear makeup, she looks like this, even if she has a stinky face, she has to admit that the female ghost in front of her is very good-looking.
"Hello. Are you in charge here? Under the gloomy expression of being able to raise a knife and slash at any time, You Xinnian patiently used polite language.
I guess it's hard to do. Jade sat across from her, putting on a kind and intimate appearance, but secretly raising the alarm in her heart. This kind of looks, temperament, and conversation...... It must be a thorn in the thorn of a thorn in the head.
