Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 76: Concealment
"Master, have you found out anything?" Zhang Su arrived at the accident site and probed for a while, Jiang Dajun asked with concern.
"Well, it's kind of weird." Zhang Su replied while thinking.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Dajun continued to ask.
"Sure enough, it's gone, and even the trace is broken." Zhang Su replied.
"Does that mean that thing left our company? That's a good thing. Jiang Dajun was a little happier when he heard that the skull-headed imp who was braving blue fire had disappeared.
"It's hard to say, I don't know if that thing is out of grudge or temporarily living in your company, if it's temporary, it's okay to say, maybe it's going somewhere else, if it's out of grudge, it's not so good if it's going back." Zhang said.
"Huh? And what's going on? It's really hard to say, we will inevitably offend people when we do business, if we come back again out of grudges, maybe we will make a fuss, what is that thing, is it really a ghost? Jiang Dajun asked nervously, changing his previous righteousness and awe-inspiring, obviously a bit of a thief.
Zhang Su looked at Jiang Dajun and smiled without saying a word.
"Master, just tell me what I should do now." Jiang Dajun saw that Zhang Su smiled and did not answer, and his heart became even more panicked.
"Well, think about what you have done to others, and tell me the truth, so that I can judge where this ghast might be hiding." Zhang Su suggested.
"What can I do to hurt people? It's not uncommon to offend people, but I don't have the courage to hurt people. Jiang Dajun responded with a sad face.
"You definitely don't have the courage to do anything that directly harms people, but is there anything that indirectly harms people?" Zhang looked at Jiang Dajun playfully and asked.
"You can go with my office, I'll think about it in the long run." Jiang Dajun thought for a while and said.
Zhang Su nodded, and followed Jiang Dajun into the manager's office again.
"Master, no matter how much you know, then I'll tell the truth, if you want to say that the human life on the back is really there, far from remembering, but a few months ago there was such a thing, the recent economic downturn, the business order is also a lot less, I proposed a shrinkage layoff plan and was approved by the board of directors, the first batch of layoffs about one or two hundred people, most of them are new employees who are not familiar with the business and older old employees, of course, there are also some departments that are not too good performance have also been laid off, Later, I heard that one of the new employees who had been laid off had committed suicide because he couldn't pay off his mortgage, and this was the only life I was indirectly carrying. Jiang Dajun responded
"What else is there? Then you won't be able to commit suicide after resigning. Zhang asked puzzled.
"So you don't know about this, master?" The reason why Jiang Dajun said it was because he thought that Zhang Su had already known about this unspeakable thing by some means, but looking at Zhang Su's reaction, it was not like he knew what had happened.
"I'm not a god, how can I know everything, let's be specific, it may help me in my work." Zhang Su waved his hand and replied.
"Okay, I'll tell you what I probably know, in fact, the person who jumped off the building and committed suicide is not very old, he entered our company after graduating from college, and he was laid off for exactly three years, when he heard the news of the dismissal, he kept running to the manager's office, begging me to continue to work in the company, and he also said that he took out a loan to participate in the company's fund-raising and building a house, and he had a loan of 1.6 or 7 million yuan, and if he lost his job, he would not be able to pay the loan normally." Jiang Dajun recalled the situation at that time.
"And then?" Zhang Su asked as if he was listening to a story.
"Of course I won't agree, this person's business level is average, not good or bad, the company's layoff list is carefully screened, like this kind of mediocre people of course the company will not stay, the company needs to be able to wear multiple positions after the layoff is an employee with outstanding ability, leaving a mediocre person is equivalent to planting a bomb for the company, once there is a mistake in the business or the completion is not timely, then it will affect the company's performance, the company's image will be damaged." Jiang Dajun explained from the perspective of his own management.
"So you resolutely fired him?" Zhang Su heard what Jiang Dajun meant and asked.
"It's not for my personal sake, it's for the sake of the company." Jiang Dajun replied.
"I understand, and then what?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"His annual salary is not low, about 200,000 yuan, I estimate that he thinks his annual salary is enough to support him to buy a house in Qicheng, coupled with the preferential policies given by the company to raise funds to build a house, he brought more than one million dollars to participate in the company's fund-raising to build a house, but because he was dismissed, he lost a stable income, his personal capital chain was broken, the bank's monthly payment has not been repaid, the house is requisitioned to pay off the debt, and he owes a lot of loans to the bank, and has entered the list of dishonesty. Jumping off a building is also within the predictable range. Jiang Dajun thought about it and made his own judgment.
"If you know why don't you leave him alive?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Which is more important, his life or the company's prospects?" Jiang Dajun asked rhetorically.
"Is he the only one?" Zhang Su asked.
"Set a precedent, the company resigned the one or two hundred people will be dead faced, and you look at our company's employees, either wear multiple hats, or are extremely efficient, or diligent overtime, in the economic recession environment, only these people can ensure the company's low-cost and high-yield model, I don't want a mediocre person to ruin the operation of the entire company, then I am the company's sinner, is the sinner of those investors who invest in the company, I can't afford this responsibility." Jiang Dajun said in a fierce voice.
"Then why did you recruit him into the company? I saw that there was a recruitment notice at the door of your company that had not been withdrawn, saying that it was 'a brother who came, treat the company as his own home, and come to experience the care of his family', and the old parents kicked their children out of the house? Zhang Su asked with a smile.
"It's just recruitment publicity, who would take it seriously if you don't say that? But to put it bluntly, the company is not anyone's home, what the company needs is to make a profit, and I have no obligation to take care of poor children. Jiang Dajun snorted coldly.
"yes, I see." Zhang Su looked at Jiang Dajun's impassioned face, frowned and nodded.
"So master, do you have any clues, is it that the employee who committed suicide after being laid off made trouble?" Jiang Dajun asked.
"Don't talk yet, I'll count a hexagram, and I'll give you an answer later." Zhang Su deliberately found an excuse, then closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Jiang Dajun looked at Zhang Su, not knowing what he was doing, but he didn't dare to bother, because he knew that if the young man in front of him came from that special company, he would definitely have extraordinary means, but he didn't know what kind of means it was, so he could only wait silently for Zhang Su to wake up again.
Zhang Su said that it was a fortune telling, but in fact he was out of his body, Zhang Su's soul was floating in the air at this time, and the soul looked at a skull-like ghost beside Jiang Dajun, and the soul voice said: "I also asked for you, and you also know his attitude, how about it?" Isn't it time to fulfill the promise we made? ”
"Why did he say that, I am diligent, hard-working, I have not made a mistake in the past three years, I work overtime until late every day before leaving the company, my work is always completed on time, why should he fire me, what did I do wrong?" The skull ghast roared.
"It's useless for you to tell me this, I don't know the situation of you and your company, I can only ask for a word on your behalf, I found out that you could capture you by surprise when you used the hidden soul technique, it was you who suddenly ran out and asked me to help you ask a few questions, I have already conveyed what you want to ask, what else do you have to say?" Zhang asked, looking at the skull ghast in bewilderment.
"Capitalists! Egoism! I'm like a tool in his hand, pick it up when you use it, put it away when you don't use it, he keeps shouting that the economy is not good to reduce expenses, but his annual salary of hundreds of millions of dollars a year has never been interrupted, and he has never said that the economy is not good to reduce his annual salary, but he has calculated the company's economic accounts to our heads, and kept saying that for the development of the company, how much money is to fat his own pocket, when he recruited, he patted his chest and promised not to take the initiative to dismiss employees, but three years later, it was another set of rhetoric, How can a man be so untrustworthy? The skull ghast complained to Jiang Dajun, the general manager of the company, in front of him.
"It's useless for you to tell me, I'm not your manager, you're still honestly being counted by me, and it's shameless to complain like this after you die." Zhang Su smiled and looked at the skull ghost standing behind Jiang Dajun and replied.
"I'm not reconciled!" The skull ghast roared.
"Nonsense, ghasts are all made of resentment, I have never seen a ghast soul who is willing to experience in life, people are unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, you don't dare to love and hate vigorously before your death, it is useless to say more after death, but to add laughter to me, look at it." Zhang Su explained.
"No, I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him! I can't die in vain, I'm going to kill him too! I still have the filthy soul that devours him! The skull ghast continued to roar, apparently ignoring Zhang's persuasion.
"Will you shout? You can do it. Seeing the skull ghast, Zhang Su didn't listen to persuasion, and didn't say anything more, but put his two soul hands on his chest, and just looked at the skull ghast in front of him quietly.
"Do you think I don't dare to do it?" The skull ghast stood behind Jiang Dajun, his soul hand raised high, and he made the appearance of slapping Jiang Dajun's head.
"What does it have to do with me, if you have a grievance, solve it quickly, just disperse the soul power after solving it, or if you can't solve it, you must also disperse the soul power, this is what we have agreed on." Zhang Su said lightly, his soul eyes narrowed, revealing a playful ruthlessness.
The skull snorted coldly, and the soul hand slapped the head of Jiang Dajun in front of him, and when the soul hand swept by, there was only a temporary fluttering of soul dust fluctuations in the room, but the soul hand of the skull ghast did not cause any damage to Jiang Dajun in the real world, just as Zhang Su expected, the soul hand simply passed through Jiang Dajun's head and did not play any role.
"You're done, can you keep the agreement?" Seeing that the skull ghast's hand did not play a role, Zhang Su asked flatly.
"Is this the separation of yin and yang? Why? Why can't I attack him even after I've reached such a state? Last time I appeared in the world! The skull grath exclaimed, still not very reconciled.
"You're just a high-level ghast, if you want to attack the living in the world, it's still weaker, your spontaneous combustion soul shows that the ghost fire is in the world, at most it's just to scare and scare children, do you really think that can cause damage to the living?" Zhang Su scoffed.
"It's good to scare him, I'm satisfied if I can scare him out and scare him stupid, can you tell me how I can create a ghost fire to scare him again?" Skull Ghast asked.
"He paid me to arrest you, but you want me to teach you how to scare him, what are you thinking? Since he has found the Soul Hunting Company, it means that he has a certain psychological preparation for the existence of ghosts, even if you condense the ghost fire again to scare him in broad daylight, he will not be easily frightened by you to go crazy, I advise you to dispel this unrealistic idea. Zhang Su continued to persuade.
"If you don't help me, I won't be hunted by you for my soul power, you can watch it." Skull ghast said.
"You threaten me?" Zhang Su looked at the skull ghost coldly and asked.
"So what? I can sense that your soul power is not full, and you want to catch me? How can you beat me with your state? The skull ghast looked at Zhang Su with disdain and replied.
"It's even more ridiculous that people like you can still believe other people's lies, but I also gave you a chance to dissipate your soul, but you wasted half a day and regretted it, hey, I'm a little stupid." Zhang Su laughed at himself.
"Knowing that you are stupid and still coming to me, haha, since you are the person he hired, I will send all my resentment towards him on your head, I will kill you!" The skull ghast laughed and looked at Jiang Dajun in front of him, then laughed and looked at Zhang Su, and said madly.
"Kill me? You've got to have that skill, too. Zhang Su looked mockingly at the skull in front of him.
"Hmph, Ten Thousand Bone Needle!" Hearing Zhang Su's provocation, the skull ghast looked at Zhang Su in annoyance, and released a powerful soul power, the soul power turned into needles in the air, and tens of thousands of fine needles of soul power appeared in front of the skull ghost, and the skull ghast soul waved his hand, and tens of thousands of fine needles flew towards Zhang Su like a drizzle, wanting to take Zhang Su's soul directly.
"Good soul skill, if I still had three points of fear in the original, but now I am not as good as before, corrupt snake, rotten poison!" Zhang Su had no intention of avoiding it at all, and directly turned into a snake, and a blue-gray smoke spewed out from the snake's mouth and spread in front of him.
Although the 10,000 needles were powerful, each of them was not very powerful, and as soon as the needles touched the poisonous mist that Zhang Su spewed, they were completely corrupted and dissolved one by one, and finally the 10,000 soul needles became dots of soul dust scattered and scattered, and finally disappeared.
But this is not over, the heavenly corruption continues to spread around Zhang Su's body, and there is a faint tendency to spread towards the skull ghast, wherever the sky rot spreads, even the soul dust in the air will be directly corrupted and decomposed, and finally dissipate without a trace, in the face of Zhang Su's corrupt offensive, the skull ghast is already a little frightened.
"How is it possible, how could my Ten Thousand Bone Needle be blocked so easily, what kind of soul skill are you, it can actually corrode my strongest soul skill." The skull ghast exclaimed.
"It's just a little soul skill that doesn't matter to your teeth, how about it? Ready to get caught? Zhang Su looked at the skull ghost in front of him and snorted coldly.
"How is that possible? I still have something to do, how can I just plant it here, since I can't beat it, then I can only ......" The skull ghast said, his body moved, turned around and ran backwards, ready to pass through the window of the manager's room, and floated down directly from the twenty-third floor, after all, it was a soul posture, even if he fell from the twenty-third floor, there would be no damage, obviously this was planned by the skull ghast.
"Hmph, although I'm a little benevolent, I'm not stupid, I've secretly set up this manager's room as a net when I helped you just pass the word, if you run away as soon as we first meet, maybe it's really possible to escape with your hidden soul skills, but now you don't have that kind of opportunity." Zhang Su snorted coldly, and a looming soul power drawing talisman appeared on the windows around the manager's room, which was the slow talisman in the six styles that Zhang Su learned from the Xia family's summer camp, and Zhang Su secretly pasted three on each window, and its deceleration effect can be seen.
Sure enough, as soon as the skull ghast broke through a window, the tardiness charm acted on the skull ghast's body, and the skull ghast floated out of the window, like a stop-motion comic, slowly changing its fluttering posture in the air, and as if the time outside the window and the time inside the window were not at the same frequency, and the time outside the window seemed to flow slowly.
Zhang Su's soul also floated out of the window, releasing twelve white phosphorus arrows to the skull ghast, as Zhang Su's palm was held, the skull ghast was instantly nailed with twelve white phosphorus arrows, the arrows fluttered, and the skull ghast was brought back to the manager's room again, and finally nailed to the wall of the manager's room and could not move, and the soul power on his body was rapidly lost from the body.
"You're kidding me? You said that you helped me spread the word in order to lay this net, right? The skull ghast looked at Zhang Su angrily.
"It's also right and wrong, if you honestly implement the agreement between us, I won't be able to use this net, you break the contract first, and my later hand will play a role, the same is true, if you also have a back hand at that time, how the company bullied you will not let you fall into the situation of desperate suicide, people have no foresight must have near-term worries, leave a hand in everything, but the ancestors did not deceive you these words, you are stupid and naïve." Zhang Su replied calmly.
The skull ghast watched Zhang Su's blue and bright soul eyes flicker, and finally lowered his head and stopped resisting, allowing Zhang Su to disperse his soul power.
Zhang Sussimed that the soul returned to the body, woke up from the manager's room, secretly took out the dark stone cup under the desk, quietly took the skull ghast into it, and then inadvertently stuffed the dark stone cup back into his pocket.
Seeing that Zhang Su had woken up, Jiang Dajun hurriedly asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Small problem, I calculated a hexagram, it's just the accumulation of some resentment, and it has been dispelled by itself." Zhang Su replied.
"Dispersed on its own? Didn't you just do nothing, master? Jiang Dajun asked with a frown.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Su saw that Jiang Dajun had something to say and asked.
"Since the master didn't do anything, the cost of this bounty ......," Jiang Dajun said hesitantly.
"First of all, you negotiate this bounty with the company, I am a worker, I can't control it; Secondly, if the resentment can be dispersed, it can be gathered, and the old resentment will inevitably disperse, and no new resentment will arise in the future, so you can weigh it yourself; In the end, you are the owner with an annual salary of hundreds of millions, are you still short of these hundred and ten dollars? Zhang Su responded calmly.
"Yes, yes, huh? How does the master know that I am worth hundreds of millions? Jiang Dajun nodded, and suddenly reacted and asked.
"You just thought I heard it through grapevine." Zhang Su replied with a smile, although he waved his hand at Jiang Dajun, opened the door of the office from the door, and left Lingfeng Media Company in a few steps.
