Chapter 17: Ghosts

"Come with me, I'll take you to the staff lounge. The ghost beckoned, and floated ahead to lead the way. "Thankfully, it's back in the business, and everything is clean again. You have to know what a miserable life it is to walk through the dust every day. ”

Qian Jing looked at the ghost's ethereal body, and her gaze could easily penetrate her to see something opposite, the transparency was between the glass window in the rain and the clouds in the valley. It was the first time he'd seen a ghost, and the fact that the ghost was still his colleague made things even more interesting. He wanted to poke the ghost with his finger, but he couldn't be so rude to a girl.

"The dust doesn't affect you, does it? I think you're pretty clean. ”

The ghost turned his head around without moving his shoulders, and said in a terrifying posture as he led the way: "The dust can't touch me, but the smell can! I like the smell of incense the most, then the food, and the dust the least!"

"Oh...... Then when I have money, I will burn incense for you. ”

"That's it!" said the ghost with a smile, "For the sake of you being on the road, I won't suck your yang energy." ”

"Please don't inhale yang qi...... Qian Jing clasped his hands together and hurriedly begged for mercy.

The first thing the White Flag grocery store did when it reopened was to upgrade the renovation, and this work was completely automated. When Qian Jing came to take the exam yesterday, there was still a long and winding corridor behind the counter, but today it has become two downward stairs. The two steps are separated from the left and right, and in the middle is a ramp with a non-slip design, which is supposed to be used for transporting goods. A yellow electric iron gate that opens left and right crosses the bottom of the ramp with the words "Staff area, guests stop".

"Just use your bracelet to shake it over there, yes, it's the fish on the face. In the future, you will need to wear a bracelet when you go in and out, and you will also use this to clock in and out - but we don't clock in yet, do you know why?"

Qian Jing shook his head, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Because you are the only employee, you are not known to us, why do you still clock in?" Shouting 'Little Qian Qian come here', if you don't come, you are absent from work." ”

"I don't call me Xiao Qian Qian, you should call me Brother Qian, or call me Ah Shui. ”

"What year were you born, are you born in the 90s?" asked the ghost with a wink. In fact, she peeked at Qian Jing's schoolbag before, and she had already deduced her age from her student ID, and now she is knowingly asking. "I died in 1973, in fact, it can be said that I was born in 73 ghosts, so I am older than you, and it is impossible for me to call you Brother Qian!

"Someone told me a fortune telling that the five elements were short of gold, so my name had a mirror word. But a few days later, the fortune teller said that he had made some mistakes, and I was not only short of gold but also of water. At that time, my name was already written on the birth certificate, and it was also on the household registration book, so it was very troublesome to change, and you can't call me Qian Shuijing, right? Yu is my nickname, so it's called Ah Shui. Qian Jing explained easily: "In the end, I found that I was indeed short of gold and water, in short, I had no financial luck. ”

"I see, that's interesting. I don't have that many stories, and it's called a ghost just because I'm a ghost. ”

"What was your name when you died, and how did you die?" Qian Jing asked the ghost curiously as he placed the bracelet in front of the relief to verify his identity.

"I don't remember what happened when I was alive, and I have long forgotten my name. The only thing I remember is a small memory of the time before I died. The ghost's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his hands were raised: "Bang! Boom! What a strong flash and impact, I will become a ghost!"

"You're describing it as if it was blown up by a nuclear bomb. ”

"That's true. The ghost muttered in reply, deliberately keeping his voice very soft.

The yellow metal gate slowly opens to both sides, and behind it is a semi-circular cement corridor, about four meters high, with a row of fluorescent lights above the head and on the walls on both sides, and the soft light illuminates every inch of the passage brightly, without an inch of dead ends.

The corridor stretches underground, and then turns to the right. Metal gates are installed on both sides of the passage every ten meters or so, and the same identification device is a relief of a human face and a fish pattern. There is a sign on the gate closest to the entrance that reads "Employee Lounge", next to it is "First Temporary Warehouse" and diagonally opposite is "Identification Room".

Qian Jing looked curiously into the deeper rooms, but their signs were blurry, as if a naughty child had erased the handwriting on them. The ghost glanced at Qian Jing and said, "You're a zero-level salesperson now, so you can't see the names of those rooms, and you can't open them with your own bracelet." Don't worry, take your time, as long as you continue to grow your knowledge and accumulation, you will soon know what is inside. ”

"Oh, I see. Hell, isn't there a lot of danger in here?"

"Everything is dangerous, so I prefer another way of saying it: something that doesn't fit. When something appears at the wrong time, in the wrong place, especially when it is given to the wrong person, and is used to do the wrong thing, then it is dangerous. For you, no matter what you see, especially something you haven't seen before, you have to be cautious. Well, it won't let you touch those things in the first place, though. ”

"Oh......" Qian Jing followed the ghost into the lounge, where there was a separate dressing room, a shower, a water dispenser and a sofa, and a pair of chess and a pair of Go on the corner table. There is a computer desk opposite the sofa, and the computer on it looks like the one during the interview, but the money mirror is not accurate. A prosperous fortune tree is entrenched in the corner of the wall on the other side, and under the shadow of the green leaves, there is a black jade tablet inserted in the basin, and the word "ghost" is written on it. "Hey, look, I'm living there. The ghost said.

"Then I'm a guest at your house, please take care of me. ”

"You're welcome, you're family. The ghost snapped his fingers and said, "Qian Jing, what are you not good at chess activities?" I have a full set here, and I can play with you." ”

"I'm pretty much not good at all of them, so you can teach me as long as you have time. Qian Jing smiled at the ghost and said, "I don't know what work I'm going to do next, whether I'm busy or not, and I don't know what the attitude of the boss Raisa is towards it." But I can assure you that when I have some free time, I don't mind being tortured by you in board entertainment. ”

"Haha, that's good! I've been bored here for a long time, and finally a living person has come down to play with me!" The ghost pointed to the dressing room with the name of Qian Jing written on it and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and then hurry up and get to work, and then play with me! If you can win me, I may give you good things! It's all I have accumulated over the years, and ghosts don't need it, but it's good for the living!"

Qian Jing's eyes shine, who doesn't want good things?
