Chihiro's work at the soup house went well.

Because of Gu Yun's intervention, Chihiro's identity and status have changed, and she is no longer a helpless human girl.

This made Granny Tang no longer call her so casually.

The work of the soup house is very busy, and after Gu Yun left, Chihiro settled down and worked here for two days.

The flow of time in the next life is different from that of the present life, sometimes it is fast and sometimes it is slow.

The average is one to five, but it's only average.

The speed of time in the afterlife is regular, and even Gu Yun can't control it.

If he hadn't specially instructed the female ghost, and there was a big guy like Lao Zaza to take care of him, he wouldn't have dared to leave Chihiro in the soup house at will.

"Xiaoqian~~"

Xiao Ling took two buns and handed one of them to Chihiro: "Good job today." ”

I used to see Chihiro as a little human girl, and I thought she would be pampered, but I didn't expect to do the work without dragging the mud and water.

"I'm impressed with you!"

Xiaoling was eating steamed buns, but when she saw Chihiro looking at the sea in the distance, she asked, "Are you thinking about your little lover again?" ”

"I've said it many times, Gu Yunjun is just my classmate."

Chihiro's reaction was very ordinary, after all, the two were innocent, and the girl did treat Gu Yun as a brother.

"Well, that's it."

Xiaoling felt that the relationship between Gu Yun and Chihiro was definitely not ordinary.

Otherwise, how could the other party risk coming here to save her.

"Gu Yunjun, it's very powerful."

After spending a few days in the soup house, Chihiro also learns the secrets of this world from Xiao Ling.

This is the last journey of the soul after the Yellow Spring.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for anything other than gods and spirits to come to this world.

Therefore, Xiao Ling felt very incredible about Gu Yun's ability.

And Xiaoling also learned about Granny Tang's instructions through her own way, and she actually asked the people in the soup house to take care of Chihiro, so as not to embarrass this human girl too much.

Coupled with the fact that Chihiro was able to find Grandpa Boiler and get his help, it is obvious that there are masters behind Chihiro's back.

But as for what Gu Yun said that he would definitely rescue Chihiro, Xiaoling didn't have much expectation.

"We're lights out, Ling."

"Oh!"

The lights dimmed, and Xiaoling went to sleep, leaving Chihiro alone to sit there.

She was waiting for Gu Yun and believed that he would definitely come.

"Sleep."

Chihiro, who is already a girl, is not as overwhelmed as in the original book.

Chihiro knows that all she has to do now is play her part and live in peace in the soup house.

Gu Yun said that he would save her, but now that he is gone, he must be looking for a way to save her.

Chihiro is not in a hurry.

In her opinion, the soup house, the gods, the afterlife, and the parents turning into pigs, these things are all without exception, and they are too unbelievable.

Even if Gu Yun is very powerful, it will take time to solve these things.

So, the girl got into her quilt.

Instead of crying, she closed her eyes calmly and soon fell asleep.

The work of the bathhouse is the opposite of the human routine.

They sleep during the day and work at night.

It's just that because of the speed of time, the advent time of the demon is not fixed.

Fortunately, the laws of the afterlife have shelter for the inhabitants here.

Even if you can only sleep for an hour, as long as you sleep, then you will be able to recover your energy quickly, which is the 'need'.

It's like the gods come here, they want to enjoy the food and hot springs.

Then the sky won't brighten while they're still in the soup house.

Only when the gods leave, the staff of the soup house will leave work, and the time in the area where the soup house is located will be re-entered into normal.

So there's no need to worry about the time difference.

The law here has its own set of rules, and as long as you follow its will, everyone can adapt to the environment here.

As for how to identify who is a resident.

Quite simply, as long as you eat the food of the afterlife, you will become a part of this world, protected and constrained by the law.

"Wow~~"

Evening came again, and Chihiro helped Xiaoling and the other employees in the same room pack up the futon.

The dark night was shrouded in dark clouds, and the pouring rain seemed to wash away all the filth between heaven and earth.

The lights on the streets came on one after another, and translucent black shadows began to emerge.

The green smoke of the shop curls and the fragrance can be smelled even by Chihiro standing in the attic of the bathhouse.

"Knock knock~~"

Chihiro finished wiping the floor and poured the sewage into the courtyard with a basin.

The girl raised her head and saw a vague figure standing in the courtyard, it was pitch black, with a white mask on its face, it was the faceless man who appeared in the original book.

The Faceless Man is a peculiar and mysterious youkai.

It is born out of the nothingness of human beings and represents the id, self and true self of man.

The Faceless Man is very special, it does not exist in this world or even in other worlds, and even in the next life, it is an extremely rare type of youkai.

As I said before, the next life is the last stop on the journey of sentient beings, and it is here that they will leave everything in their lives behind.

The abandonment here includes emotion, character, memory, and knowledge.

And when a person doesn't have these, what is left is naturally a blank slate.

The Faceless Man is a monster born from the concept of this blank piece of paper.

It is very weak, but it can add a variety of properties to itself by devouring other substances.

But because of the nature of the monster, the faceless man is not welcomed in the afterlife.

They have no personality and cannot speak.

In a place like the soup house, where capital is supreme, a faceless man who can't bring benefits has no value at all.

Granny Tang only treats the gods as guests, and as for youkai like the Faceless Man, she has always turned a blind eye to them.

The soup house has a magical enchantment, which can block most of the filth.

Granny Tang used her authority as a local administrator to enclose the land as the king, and without her permission, it was impossible for any demon or monster to step on this line.

"Why are you standing in the rain?"

Chihiro doesn't know about the Faceless Man, and only treats him as a guest at the soup house.

The gods here are all kinds of strange, and it's not surprising what kind of posture they have, and although Chihiro has only been here for a few days, it's not strange.

“.…..”

The faceless man couldn't speak, so he could only nod slightly at Chihiro, and then let out a soft 'woo-ah' sound.

"That..."

Chihiro stepped out of the way and opened the door a little at the same time: "You'll get cold when you stand in the rain, come in quickly." ”

Invite!

This is the largest cover door in Granny Tang's magical enchantment.

Like humans and demons in the real world, demons can enter other people's territory when the owner of the house invites them.

“wo~~”

The faceless man let out a cry of unknown meaning, and he didn't move, but he felt the concern from Chihiro.

This is a feeling that a faceless man has never experienced.

Unfamiliar, but it makes it inexplicably yearning, like a moth to a fire, knowing that the flame is hot and deadly, but still wants to get closer.
