Chapter 4: You're Dead

On a rainy night, heavy dark clouds pressed down on the entire sky without leaving a single light. It's pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, in front of a large mirror in the bathroom, a woman with a disheveled hair lowered her head and cried softly, and through the light, it could be seen that the woman's face was slightly swollen, and there were bright red fingerprints on the left side that had not been removed.

"Why? Why? What exactly am I doing wrong? ”

Weeping and talking to herself, the girl propped her hands on the pool platform, lowered her head, and let the tears slide down.

"Why don't I take your place!"

Suddenly, I don't know where the voice came from, it was exactly the same as the girl, it was calm and didn't cry, and even a little happy. Hearing her own voice, the girl was also stunned, raised her head, and was surprised to find that she in the mirror was tilting her head to look at herself, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, get up and get to work."

In the middle of a luxurious office, a girl with a double ponytail is struggling to shake a teenager who is struggling to open his tired eyes.

"Aha, what time is it?"

Awakened by a violent shaking, Wu Cun yawned and rubbed his eyes and asked.

"It's 7 o'clock, get up, get up, get up."

Although Wu Cun had woken up, Xiao You was still shaking vigorously, as if he felt that it was very fun.

"Ouch, get up, don't shake it."

Although Wu Cun is not very good at getting along with people, and he has only known Xiao You for a few days, he feels a little embarrassed to speak, but Xiao You is as unrestrained as if he has been an old friend for many years, which also makes Wu Cun's heart warm up a little, it is in a strange environment that he is not familiar with, and the feeling of loneliness is inevitable, but this time he was finally lucky to meet Wang Sheng and Xiao You - a reasonable boss, a lively girl like a sister next door.

"Then hurry up, I'll go out first."

After saying that, Xiao Yu jumped open the door and walked out.

"It's true, you can't live in peace if you are a ghost."

muttered, got up neatly, slept in clothes when he went to bed in the morning, so he didn't need to dress up, went directly to wash, looked at the big mirror above the bathroom sink, Wu Cun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was standing in front of the mirror, but there was no trace of Wu Cun in the entire bathroom reflected in the mirror.

"Huh."

As if resigned to fate, Wu Cun touched the pendant he was wearing on his chest, smiled helplessly, shook his head, but did not react much after smiling bitterly, and squeezed the toothpaste and got busy.

Before this strange scene was to be replaced, Wu Cun would definitely be so frightened that he fell to the ground, and then carefully studied whether this mirror was another prank by Xiao You. It's just that now, I don't feel any strange about this, because Wu Cun at this time is just a spirit body, a state of spiritual gathering that exists out of **, in other words, he is dead, and now he is just a soul. It's hard to believe, but it's an indisputable fact, and now it can be seen by outsiders and can move like a normal person, relying entirely on this silver pendant hanging around his neck, the spirit pendant.

"What do you mean? I'm not alive, can I still die? ”

When I heard Wang Sheng's words for the first time, that is, Wu Cun was now in a state of death, and Wu Cun, who didn't find anything unusual about him, naturally refuted it vigorously, thinking to himself, he was dead? How is it possible, the physical touch and mental feeling are the same as before, if you want to joke, you have to find a better reason, looking at Wang Shengren's appearance, with status and status, is there something wrong with the brain? Can't speak?

It seemed that Wu Cun would not believe it easily, and Wang Sheng didn't explain too much, just looked at Wu Cun with a smile.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Cun, who really didn't think there was anything wrong, had to ask for help from another person in this office, that is, the girl who served him tea and poured water.

"Hehe, that means you're dead!"

Sure enough, the girl is easy to communicate, but Wu Cun feels that this answer is not very useful, isn't this the same meaning as Wang Sheng? Could it be that the two brothers and sisters join forces to play with me? Of course, Wu Cun won't say this directly, but he is a little depressed in his heart, since last night, a series of incredible things have happened, and now he wakes up in such a strange office, and meets such an inexplicable brother and sister, what is this?

"Don't believe me?"

Wu Cun, who was holding his head and secretly annoyed, suddenly heard Wang Sheng's voice again, as if he was about to explain to himself, so he hurriedly raised his head to look at Wang Sheng, but, at this look, the expression on his face immediately became frightened and scared, Wu Cun's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but his brain seemed to have not kept up with this development, and he was stunned again.

At this time, in Wu Cun's field of vision, a black pistol was being held in Wang Sheng's hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Wu Cun's head, at this time, Wu Cun didn't dare to move, whether this thing was true or not, it was not a joke, and in this short period of time, there were enough strange things that had happened, but now I can't figure out that person's temperament at all, maybe I will really shoot.

"Smack!"

As if to verify the idea in Wu Cun's heart, Wang Sheng's index finger flicked and really pulled the trigger. With a loud bang, the muzzle fire snake erupted - this turned out to be a real gun, and the target was Wu Cun, who was frightened and couldn't move at all.

"Ahh

After the gunshot, there was a scream, of course, Wu Cun, still motionless posture did not change, but two lines of tears flowed from his face due to horror.

Time seemed to stop, and the sound seemed to freeze, only the tears still kept flowing, and Wu Cun's breathing was already disordered.

After a while, Wu Cun finally couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the tears in his eyes that itched to the point that he couldn't do it, and at the moment when the back of his hand and his eyes touched, he suddenly woke up, himself, is this still possible? Not dead yet? Wiping away tears, shaking hands, moving bones, yes, yes, everything is fine! It turned out that Wang Sheng was still scaring himself, although his brain did feel some pain, but it should have been injured when he fell before, and the shot just now must have been missed. Wu Cun comforted himself in his heart, and glanced at Wang Sheng's side again, but who knows, Wang Sheng's hand holding the gun did not let go.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Two shots in succession, this time, Wu Cun felt it really, the pain in his left chest and heart came again, and he looked down in disbelief, only to see that a big hole had been broken in the left chest of his clothes, and through this hole, he could clearly see his body, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

"Holy! What do you mean? ”

At this moment, Wu Cun seemed to be a little frightened excessively, and he completely ignored the fatal wound on his body, but directly burst out of foul language, stood up and asked Wang Sheng loudly.

"What do you mean? Scold! ”

Wang Sheng looked playful, opened the desk drawer, and finally withdrew the hand holding the gun and put the pistol in.

"Haha, you're so stupid, don't you understand what your brother means?"

Looking at Wu Cun's reaction, the girl on the side laughed and took the initiative to explain for Wang Sheng.

"Brother, these three shots are all fatal parts of human beings, look at you, not only are you not dead, but you are still alive, hehe, do you still think you are alive?"

"Although you committed suicide, but the unexpected life expectancy is not over, plus your wish is not fulfilled, and your life is miserable, out of sympathy, I apply to the king of Hades to temporarily stay in the world as my assistant."

- This is the explanation given by Wang Sheng after Wu Cun collapsed and finally recognized his situation, although why Yang Cun has not fulfilled his life, and why he has not fulfilled his wishes, he does not know, but to continue to live, this makes Wu Cun feel a great honor.

"Eh, I don't think we're going to have anything going on, what the hell is our office for?"

Wu Cun opened the door and walked out, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, the night was late, and the gloomy sky seemed to have a heavy rain during the day today.

Inside and outside is the office of the office, which is where he should work as an assistant, and at this time, Xiao Yu is sitting at the only desk watching anime on the computer.

"Catch the ghost."

Xiao Yu didn't look back, still staring at the screen, watching intently.

"Of course I know, I mean, how are we going to take the job?"

This is what makes Wu Cun feel strange, the nature of the type of work or something, Wang Sheng introduced it before, simply put, it is to exorcise demons and catch ghosts and the like, these, in the past, Wu Cun will naturally think that he is joking, however, now, he is a ghost, what reason can be more convincing than this? But if you believe it, will others believe it in today's advanced technology? It's nice not to be regarded as a roadside fortune teller, and besides, isn't it a bit of a fuss to have such a big luxury office? There is no faΓ§ade outside, and there is no advertisement on the Internet, so even if someone happens to believe this, how can they get customers without any publicity like this? If there are no clients, then why is this firm open?

"You don't have to worry about this, my brother will naturally have a way."

Xiao You, speaking of which, she is actually not Wang Sheng's own sister, she, like Wu Cun, was originally a lonely ghost, but for some reason, she was also taken in by Wang Sheng, and now she is also an assistant of this firm? Wu Cun didn't ask about the specific situation, since they didn't say it, it didn't matter.

"Da-da-da-da."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, huh? This made Wu Cun a little surprised, in the past, when Wang Shengsheng came in, he opened the door directly, but he didn't have the habit of knocking on the door first.

"Hello, the door is not locked, please come in."

Xiao Yu reacted quickly, stood up and looked at the door.

"Click."

The door opened, and suddenly a pungent fragrance came to his face, and Wu Cun, who was sitting on the sofa by the door, subconsciously fanned his nose with his hand.

"This is the Hades Office?"

With a puzzle, a well-dressed woman about 30 years old walked in, who should be a young woman. Looking at his face carefully, although he put on makeup, he still can't hide his haggardness. With his right hand, he rubbed the small wound on his forehead that seemed to be a new wound, and although it had not yet scarred, it was not bleeding.

"Yes, this is it, may I ask you ......"

Seeing the person who came clearly, although Wu Cun looked surprised, he still stood up and replied politely.

"Okay, you're in charge of catching ghosts, aren't you?"

The woman didn't wait for Wu Cun to finish speaking, and hurriedly interrupted after hearing that this was the destination.

"If there's anything you want, sit down and talk about it."

At this time, another voice came from outside the door, and it turned out to be Wang Sheng.

"You're a bad guy, aren't you? My house is haunted, please go and see it, please. It's okay for as much as you want, please hurry up and catch her, I can't stand it. ”

As soon as Wang Sheng entered the door, the young woman grabbed his hand and begged in a low voice, if it weren't for Wu Cun on the side hurriedly helping him to sit down on the sofa, looking at this situation, she would definitely be kneeling down.

"Oh, exorcism, huh?"

In the face of this young woman's action, Wang Sheng still looked lazy, shook his hand and walked over as if he didn't care at all, sat down on the boss's chair, took out a piece of paper from the pile of documents on the table and looked at it carefully, and Xiao You, who was originally sitting here, obediently made a cup of tea and handed it to the young woman.

"Liu Yan, female, 30 years old, widowed at the age of 28, took over her ex-husband's business, and is now single, living with her ex-husband's daughter."

Looking at the documents, Wang Sheng read out casually, just like Wu Cun before, these are all materials investigated in the underworld.

However, except for this paragraph, the other Wang Sheng just swept it over and did not read it word by word.

"That said, you didn't give birth to that daughter, did you?"

Wang Sheng put down the document and looked up at the young woman and asked.

"That's right, but I've always treated her as my own daughter, and I've always treated her well, I didn't expect her to become like this, her death is really none of my business, why don't you let me go when you're a ghost."

Liu Yan was already so frightened that she cried, completely ignoring the makeup that had been drained by tears.

"Dead? I know, Xiao You, Wu Cun, go. ”

"Huh? Walk? Where to? ”

was suddenly said by Wang Sheng, Wu Cun was a little stunned.

"Work, or supper?"

"I'm okay with supper."

Xiao Yu raised his hands in agreement.

"Don't make trouble, bother to lead the way."

Wang Sheng denied Xiao You while walking towards Liu Yan.

"Okay, come with me."

Grabbing the life-saving straw, Liu Yan's hanging heart finally let go.

"Hey, boss."

When Wang Sheng approached, Wu Cun couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing Wang Sheng say this, knowing that he already had a plan, Wu Cun stopped speaking, and the doubts in his heart had to be put aside first. The first time I worked officially, to be honest, I was still a little nervous, was it smooth or would I stumble? looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, although he didn't know for what purpose, but his second life was given by this man. Start over, these four words, it seems to have been said many times when I was alive, but none of them will be more real, more certain, more exciting than this time, oh no, people who have already died, there is no blood.

"Click."

Closing the door, in the dark corridor at night, Wu Cun walked, heading towards the dazzling light ahead, and set off!
