Chapter Twenty-Three: Delegation

I was stunned, why didn't anyone tell me this before? In other words, I don't have to go to work at 9 o'clock in the morning at all, which means that I have been in vain for a month? Can I only earn money if I accept commissions?

"You'll go to the morning shift from now on." This sentence sounded in my head again, it was the damn Igor, I thought he was asking me to work with the morning shift staff!

Annoyed and angry, now I can't wait to use a steel fork to pierce a few holes in Igor's body, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't end up with a situation where I can't even afford to eat, because I don't know what I have to do at work, so I've been working for nothing this month, because of the magic contract signed with the Midnight Teahouse, I can't earn money from anywhere other than the Midnight Teahouse, and I've tried to work part-time secretly, but the money I earn always disappears out of thin air.

Seeing me like this, the fox took out a ticket from a box in a dusty corner.

Fox head: "3000 for an order, do you want to do it?" ”

Me: "Do !!"

I said yes and took the order, which was labeled with a post-it note that said "Bring back the eyes", and the order itself was a script I couldn't read, and I didn't know which language it was. Then I followed the fox head to the huge stone gate I had been to before.

Fox Head: "The Array Eye is in the dungeon, but I'm afraid it's too late for you to go in now, because the first wave of people went in a month ago." ”

Me: "What then?" ”

Fox Head: "You stick the back of your left hand out." ”

I did so, and the fox's head slashed directly into it with one paw, and then a large puff of thick black smoke came out of the back of my hand, and I felt that my vision was rising, and in amazement, I heard the sound of the fox's head in my ears.

"Remember, you have to come back before the wound heals, or you'll never come back."

Then, I realized that I was actually floating, I actually turned into that black smoke floating in a mountain, and my body was also unable to move, like a bystander, I don't know how long it drifted like this, I floated to a village, and then my body began to sink, and then there were sounds around me.

I opened my eyes and found that I had appeared in a dimly lit building, with two lotus lamps in front of me, and some tributes, and a very beautiful woman kneeling in front of me, and a particularly beautiful hairpin on the woman's head, wearing an ancient long skirt, at the moment my body was still unable to move, and I couldn't make a little movement, just like that, day after day, and this hairpin woman also wiped my body with the silk on her body every day, but she always had the expression of a dead father, which affected my aesthetics very much, She had been living here and seemed to feel incarcerated.

Something is wrong with this dungeon, am I going to stay here forever? This doesn't seem to be modern, I remember what the fox head said that you have to go back before the wound heals, but where is the wound? If I continue like this, won't I stay here forever? Looking at the hairpin woman in front of me who couldn't sleep because of melancholy, she was like this, she didn't sleep every night, she always looked at me in a daze, and hummed the same tune repeatedly, the tune was sad, which made me very uncomfortable to listen to.

On the third day, I finally couldn't resist this sad atmosphere, and I used some tricks that I had studied these days, that is, I found that although I couldn't move my body, I could control some of the black gas that overflowed from my body to form a whirlwind, and I used the frequency of these air blowing through the cracks in the window, and after a whole day of unremitting efforts, I finally blew the climax of a song that I liked more and cheerful, trying to relieve the panic in my heart, because after these three days of certainty, I became a statue, It sounds ridiculous, but it is.

I played this tune repeatedly, but this made the hairpin woman who had been in a daze and hummed to herself, she listened to it for a few seconds, and then actually hummed with the frequency of the wind, and the woman actually relied on her own music day, she magically learned my extremely bad tune, and slightly changed, adapted it into a complete song, I admired her dedication to sad songs, and adapted such a cheerful song I played into a tactful and desolate song, so, in the next few days, She began to hum the new song, and her mood seemed to improve, and she smiled uncharacteristically.

After another four days, finally, the door of the building was pushed open, and from the outside walked in an old man with a stiff figure, this was the second living person I saw when I entered this copy, so he caught my attention, I looked at him carefully, the same ancient costume, but more inclined to a certain religion, the old man's costume was very strange, he was wearing a white and red robe, a hood on his head, the hood covered most of his face, and there was a white lotus on it, and at the same time he was followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, the boy seemed to be very nervous, Pulling the corner of the old man's clothes, I didn't dare to look at me, surprised, the old man began to say something to the hairpin woman who was humming the tune I taught, the woman was pulled back to reality from her own artistic conception, and then the two didn't know what to say, classical Chinese, blame me for being shallow and shallow in learning, I didn't understand, the woman cried, and finally she looked at me deeply, and reluctantly left, and for a moment I seemed to have lost something, a strange feeling, like the things I loved were lost, For me, who has encountered walls everywhere in real life and has few friends, this woman has been with me day and night since I came to this strange place, and it is inevitable that I will be a little reluctant.

I wanted to speak, told the woman not to go, and at the same time tried to move, this time it actually made the flat bottom of the house blow a yin wind, and at the same time the whole offering table was shaking, the old man who was about to leave was startled by me, knocked and bowed to me, made me confused, knocked his head to the blood before bowing and retreating, in the following days, there was no one else in this building, the old man did not appear again, and the hairpin woman who accompanied me for seven days did not appear, Some were just the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who had followed the old man before, and the little girl was redressed, dressed in the same costume as the hairpin woman, as if this girl was replacing the hairpin woman. The girl in a special costume is very beautiful, and the oversized pearl earring on her left ear is particularly eye-catching, which looks a little funny, but to be honest, it is quite cute.

The girl is the same as the hairpin woman who left, there is a sense of nobility on her body, the same, she is very sad like the hairpin woman, the only difference is that the girl seems to be very afraid of me, has been shrinking in the corner and refuses to come out, only because she is hungry, she crawls out of the corner to look around, I want to remind her that I have food in front of me, these are tributes, but in fact, they are all for the girl to fill her hunger, this is to see the hairpin woman found before, because the hairpin woman is to eat my tribute, my prompt is not to call her to eat, but to hang the yin wind, This undoubtedly backfired, causing the girl to scream, and she once again hid in the corner.

Time after day, finally, after another five days, the girl has gradually adapted to the life here, she is no longer afraid of me, and I have thoroughly studied my body, although the body that was originally like a sculpture is still as immobile as the sculpture, but it can control the yin condensation of a hand to grasp freely, I use this hand to touch things around, at this time, I saw the pearl girl sleeping like a dead pig on the side, suddenly thought of an interesting thing, I coldly touched her with the hand of yin condensation, Originally, I just wanted to play a prank, who knew that the girl was awakened and actually cried, I was at a loss, at this time, the door was attracted by the crying of a group of people, it was the old man before, wait, no, although the costume is the same as the old man who has come, they are all wearing a white and red robe, wearing a white lotus hood, but this time it is an old woman, the old woman came in and looked at me first, under the wrinkled skin is a pair of bright eyes.

I looked at the old woman, and found that there was more than one person who came this time, there was actually a group, their clothes were similar to the old woman, they were all wearing red and white robes, the only difference was that there was no gorgeous old woman, it looked very ordinary, these people bypassed the old woman and came in and took the crying girl out, and at the same time eight carried me out of the building.

It was very dark outside, and I was confused when I came out and found that the building behind me that I had stayed in for almost two weeks was actually a temple, and asked me why I couldn't move why I could see behind me, because although I couldn't move, the perspective was 360 degrees, and I also found that this was actually a place similar to an ancient mansion, and the lighting around it was also a papier-mâché lantern, which was really a place similar to ancient times.

At this time, I was very flustered, I don't know where these ancient people are going to take me, but there seems to be some lantern activities around, because there are many people here, there are more lanterns, these people holding lanterns are wearing coarse linen clothes, it seems to be the villagers here, gradually, I found that this place is more like a grand wedding, and all this is very visually impactful for me, a modern person, everything is so fresh, my eyes are not enough to see, because there are too many beautiful women here, Aside from those old men, they are all young women, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers, full of youthful vitality, coupled with their very distinctive ancient costumes, this is simply a feast.

This reminds me of the two women who accompanied me in the temple before, the hairpin girl was very sad, and the pearl earring girl was the same, thinking about the two girls, I began to scan the crowd, trying to find, but I didn't find the familiar face.

I continued to scan, and I couldn't do anything else for a while anyway, and that's when I stumbled upon a large coffin in the middle of the line! In the greeting procession, a big coffin was mixed in!
