Volume 1 Temporaries of the Underworld

Chapter 1: The Lonely Ghost

As society continues to progress, even the underworld is no exception. The once eerie underworld is also full of modernity, with high-rise buildings and brightly lit streets everywhere.

The glittering golden edifice in the middle of the city is the legendary Hades Palace, which should now be called the Netherworld Mansion, the place where the Yang people live and die.

The top floor of the building still continues the traditional decoration, amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottle, jade plate, picturesque food, wine like a spring, guqin trickling, bells dingdong. The main hall is decorated with inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, the bone china is translucent, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed naturally.

But no one has the heart to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Because, the financial crisis and the stock market crash broke out in the sun.

"Your Highness the Hades, the ghosts who have reported for this period of time are almost full of Netherworld." The bald old man said anxiously to the middle-aged man on the throne.

The man who sat on the throne with a carved dragon and inlaid with gold, no one knew his name. It is only known that he has ruled this underground world with the King of Jizo since ancient times, and everyone in Netherworld calls him Hades.

"What's wrong with the sun?" Hades asked without anger.

The judge in charge of the book of life and death thought to himself: Will your old girl know? Tricksters. However, he still replied honestly: "Hades, a financial crisis suddenly broke out in the yang world, and many people committed suicide due to bankruptcy. Coupled with the collapse of the stock market, countless families have been ruined. ”

Hades disagreed: "Judge how you want, punish how you want, and send those who should be reincarnated to reincarnation." ”

"But Hades, many ghosts don't want to be reincarnated!" The reincarnation officer behind the judge said with a bitter face.

"Huh?" The Hades King stared, and the cold air in the hall was suddenly overwhelming, and the surrounding area of the hall was suddenly wrapped in this thick layer of cold ice, and the Yin officials under the throne hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"What are you doing? What do I want you to do? Hades shouted.

The judge hurriedly crawled to the middle and trembled: "Hades King, back then, you had an appointment with the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, and ghosts must not be forcibly reincarnated unless they voluntarily reincarnate." ”

Hades shouted, "Then go find a way, a bunch of rubbish." ”

…………

Fan Jinyan carefully rode the dilapidated permanent brand 28-lap bicycle bought from a roadside stall all the way, and scolded along the way: "Ma Weiwei, you are an old virgin, you deserve to be married for the rest of your life, and your father has to work overtime when it snows so much." ”

Fan Jinyan, like other college classmates, is facing the problem of finding a job, and last week finally found a job suitable for an otaku like him, working as a small editor at a newspaper.

Originally, when the goods were playing computer games in the dormitory, the department's editor-in-chief, Ma Weiwei, called and asked him to go to the newspaper office to catch up with a very urgent manuscript. Although he was very unhappy, this kind of work that did not have to go to work every day was really suitable for him, so he could only ride the second-hand bicycle that he had just bought for dozens of yuan and brave the heavy snow to catch up with the newspaper.

Just when this guy was scolding, there was a sudden loud bang, and Fan Jinyan felt that his whole body was flying, and then he didn't know anything as soon as his eyes went dark.

……

"Shhh It hurts......" Suddenly awakened by the pain in his legs, Fan Jinyan slowly opened his eyes that were stinging by the sun, and looked at the white ceiling in a daze. Nima, where is this!

As soon as he wanted to get up, he was held down by a fat hand, "Don't move, be careful that the wound is cracked." ”

Fan Jinyan stretched his neck to see a fat nurse standing at the end of the bed who was changing the hanging bottle, and hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... Where? I...... What's wrong with me. ”

"This is the People's Hospital, you were in a car accident." The nurse said casually.

After a few words, he asked, "Who sent me?" ”

"Of course it's an ambulance, you and the owner of the car who caused the accident are injured, don't worry! Your unit has been notified. The nurse said impatiently.

Unit? I can't help but think of the work permit I just got in my bag, I only found the job last week, and I've only been to it twice, so I know that middle-aged old virgin, and it's strange that people will come to see him.

As soon as she thought of this, a middle-aged woman in professional clothes pushed the door into the ward, and Fan Jinyan was moved! Who said that there is no truth in this world, what a good leader! We've only met twice, so we've come to visit.

Ma Weiwei walked to Fan Jinyan's bed, saw him looking at herself with a smile on his face, thought that this guy had broken his head, and coughed: "The hospital called and said that you had a car accident, I just happened to pass by, so come to see you, the injury is fine!" ”

"It's okay...... It's okay, it's just a small injury, thank you for the leadership's concern. Fan Jinyan hurriedly replied.

"It's okay, I'm here to inform you that you won't have to go to work in the future, here's your dismissal letter and your salary for the past few days." After Ma Weiwei finished speaking, she threw an envelope to Fan Jinyan, ignored his stunned expression, and turned around and left the ward.

"Your uncle...... Ouch! Fan Jinyan, who reacted, scolded the empty door, but he didn't expect to touch the wound, and he was in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Don't move......," the fat nurse shouted.

In the middle of the night, after Fan Jinyan woke up with urine, when he turned over and took the urinal under the bed, he saw a skinny middle-aged man sleeping on his bed through the faint lamp.

"Hey! ...... you wake up" Fan Jinyan was dumbfounded as soon as he pushed it, his hand could actually pass through his body, he thought it was an illusion, and after trying it a few more times, his frightened hair suddenly stood up. What's the situation? What the hell?

The middle-aged man opened his protruding eyes and said in surprise: "Can you see me?" ”

"You...... You...... Are you human...... Still is...... Ghost. He stammered.

After speaking, he couldn't care about the pain from the wound, so he hurriedly shrank back, and fell under the bed with a bang, and his tears flowed out of the pain.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the pale face without a trace of blood in front of him, and he shrank back in fright. I hit the wall behind me and fainted.

When I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying in bed, thinking that the scene of last night was just a dream. However, I subconsciously touched the back of my head, which was still a little painful, and was stunned.

It was night again, and I didn't dare to sleep anymore, and I kept looking around nervously.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my back, and a sentence floated along with the cold: "Are you looking for me?" ”

Fan Jinyan broke out in a cold sweat, slowly brushed back, and the pale face appeared in front of him again.

He hurriedly closed his eyes, turned his head and clasped his hands together and trembled: "Brother ghost, you and I have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, please let me go!" ”

"Don't be afraid, young man, I won't hurt you." The middle-aged ghost said.

"Really?" Fan Jinyan still closed his eyes and didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, it's just that it's the first time someone can see me, and I'm a little excited." Ghost Road.

Fan Jinyan shrunk his neck and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please don't get excited, the more excited you are, the colder I am." ”

When he felt that the air was no longer so cold, Fan Jinyan slowly opened his eyes and shrank back in fright, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, can you stay away from me." ”

The ghost whispered, "I just want to study your eyes." ”

Nima, can you tell me before you study, I'm scared half to death by you every time. Although Jin Yan scolded secretly in his heart, he was still nervous on the surface: "You really won't harm me?" ”

Seeing the ghost shaking his head, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Two people, oh! No, it should be a person and a ghost sitting on a hospital bed chatting. After chatting, Jin Yan also learned that the ghost uncle's surname was Zhao, and he died a few years ago because of advanced stomach cancer in the hospital bed he is sleeping on. I don't know what caused him to be reincarnated all the time. What's even more strange is that he is the only ghost in this hospital.

This Uncle Zhao has been floating around this room until he meets Fan Jinyan, a guy who can see his soul.

For the next month, Fan Jinyan spent the day thinking about what was going on with his eyes. At night, he and Uncle Zhao talked about the sea.

During this period, the unscrupulous roommates also came to see him twice, and the driver who caused the accident never appeared, but I heard the fat nurse say that the driver's family is quite rich, and all his treatment expenses and living expenses have already been paid.

On this day, when Fan Jinyan was sitting on the bed alone and boredly reading the newspaper's dismissal letter, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in! I didn't wear any pants. Fan Jinyan replied casually.

The door was pushed open, and a woman with long hair and sunglasses came in, holding a bouquet of lilies in her hand, walked to Fan Jinyan's bedside and asked, "Is it Mr. Fan?" ”

Fan Jinyan hummed and didn't mean to look up, but the next moment, a faint smell of precious perfume brought him back to reality. Looking up, Fan Jinyan was suddenly shocked, although the person who came was wearing sunglasses, he could also see that he was a superb beauty.

The person who came seemed to be accustomed to the man's fiery eyes, but frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Fan, my name is Liang Keyi, and I feel very sorry for the harm I have caused you." ”

"You're the driver?" Fan Jinyan said in surprise.

Liang Keyi's face turned slightly red and said, "That night was my first time driving. ”

Jin Yan was surprised: "I really admire your courage, such a big snow, you dare to drive so fast." ”

Liang Keyi didn't delve into this issue, took out an envelope and handed it to Fan Jinyan: "In order to express my apologies, here is 100,000, which can be regarded as a little compensation for me!" Hope you can accept it. ”

Fan Jinyan coughed and said, "Miss Liang is too polite. The movements in his hands were not satisfied at all, as if he was robbing, for fear that this chick would regret it. Holding the brown paper envelope in his arms, he secretly said: Don't be a fool, this is a hundred thousand Mao grandpa, and I can't earn so much in a year.

Liang Keyi glanced at the guy on the hospital bed with disdain, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly saw the dismissal letter unfolded on the bedside table, so she asked curiously, "You were fired?" ”

Fan Jinyan sighed: "Thanks to you, I was fired from the newspaper. ”

Although Liang Keyi was not used to his actions, he was always the job he lost, so he handed him a business card and said: "I really don't want to let you lose your job, this is my business card, if you want, I can help you." ”

Jin Yan took the business card and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't expect this chick to be the manager of the planning department of Zhongyu Group, which is one of the best multi-functional comprehensive groups in Beijing and even in the country. A good place that many of his classmates have dreamed of, he quickly changed his face and said, "Thank you, Manager Liang, I will rely on you to promote more in the future." ”

Liang Keyi was used to seeing the faces of these people, smiled and slammed the door and left: "You're welcome, contact me then." ”

Kiss! Fan Jinyan took the business card and kissed it a few times, laughed and said: "I don't think I Fan someone will also come to work one day, hahaha!" ”

"You're going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow......" Uncle Zhao said with some sadness in the evening.

Fan Jin nodded wordlessly, he could deeply feel Uncle Zhao's loneliness this month, and he didn't understand why Lao Zhao couldn't get out of this ward.

In fact, when he was able to get out of bed and walk, he rummaged through this small ward, and he didn't find anything like a magic weapon that could trap Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao finally hoped that Fan Jinyan could help him go to his house to have a look, hoping to find out why he was trapped here.

The ultimate otaku with a sense of justice agreed to Lao Zhao's request without hesitation.

In fact, the real reason is Lao Zhao's words: "Nana is not only beautiful, but also very filial, my biggest regret is that I can't entrust my daughter to her other half with my own hands......"

Jin Yan looked at the window upstairs of the inpatient department and said with a wicked smile: Lao Zhao, I will help you complete the regretful ...... Hey! ”

If Lao Zhao knew that Fan Jinyan was not well-intentioned, would he regret what he said?
