Chapter 6: The Jade Pendant Sent by the Night (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of the Warm Sun Giant)
Half a year ago, when Wang Yan first came to the underworld, he was in a daze.
After all, he has always worshiped ghosts and gods for the past twenty-four years, but he didn't expect that there would really be an underworld after death.
He was taken to the world above for questioning, and then he was brought back to the underworld of this world and thrown into the Chase Shop in the City of the Dead.
He wandered the streets that day, and then he was picked up by Sister Night, not only the rent is very low, only fifty Yin Virtue per month, and even the work of Yin Si is recommended by Sister Dark Night, not counting the task attendance bonus, the salary alone has two hundred Yin Virtue a month.
And from her name, Wang Yan can see that it is not ordinary.
Dark night, isn't it just a surname.
And it is both "underworld" and "night", and there is no day in this underworld.
Although the day was twenty-four hours and twelve hours, they relied on the watch and the bell that rang every two hours every day.
The hour of the child is one ring, and the hour of the sea is twelve rings.
Maybe the only uncomfortable thing is that it will ring at midnight, but Wang Yan has also gotten used to it in the past six months - he doesn't need to sleep when he becomes a ghost, it's just a habit.
Or rather, it's more in line with the habits of the night - she has to sleep every night.
Closing the door, Wang Yan walked to the kitchen with the dishes he had taken from the night, "Sister Night, what do you want to eat tonight?" ”
He has always been grateful for his kindness, and people are good to him, so he naturally has to satisfy people within the scope of his ability.
So it's all up to him to cook.
"Let's eat steamed fish, this is a specialty of the Lechuan River, the meat is firm and less thorny, and the most important thing is that it condenses a large number of resentful soul and soul power of lonely souls and wild ghosts, which is a big supplement."
Styx took out his head rope and tied Bai Changzhi with a side ponytail on his shoulders, then took off his blazer and stretched it on his arm, and his explosive posture was wrapped in the lady's white shirt, "Go and steam some yin rice, we don't have to eat too much." ”
"Okay."
Wang Yan took the initiative to cook willingly, one was to praise him for the deliciousness of the cooking, and the other was ...... Utilities are free of charge, and of course he is happy to accept it.
At the dinner table, the dark night took a chopstick and put the fish meat into his mouth, and then took a bite of rice, and his unfocused scarlet eyes narrowed, "Sure enough, you have to replenish your energy after a hard day's work." ”
Wang Yan sandwiched a large piece of fish meat, peeled off the big thorns and put them into the Styx bowl, and then asked, "Sister Styx, are you out on duty today?" ”
Styx told him that he also worked in the Yin Division, but he was just a "field affairs department" to deal with ghosts in the yang world, so the two of them couldn't see each other when they usually went to work.
"Yes, isn't it almost the Midyear Festival, it's summer in the yang world, and some unlucky people like to go to the water to play."
Styx complained non-stop, "There is a town in Yangjian Guangdong Province that is haunted by water ghosts, which was originally just an ordinary water ghost, but it turned out to be a terrible ghost after being fed too much, and we wasted a lot of effort to catch it back." ”
As soon as the word box was opened, she began to gush, "A flash flood broke out over there, and a group of things with brain problems destroyed the closed iron gate and got in, and the people patrolling the yang world did not listen to them, and then when the mountain flood came, they were served by water ghosts, not to mention that they were killed in vain, and the three souls and seven spirits were directly devoured by water ghosts."
"Now that Little Red Book in the Yang World has become a gathering place for ghosts, this time that place is what the water ghost advertised in Xiaohongshu as a 'summer resort', so there are so many idiots to send it."
Saying that, she sighed, "Alas, I have to go out on duty tomorrow, and there are also a few damn ghosts who run to the desert no man's land to die, and there is a terrible ghost over there who has been posting on Xiaohongshu and Weibo to lure fools over, I am really speechless." ”
Wang Yan: "......"
This year, it has really kept pace with the times, not only has the underground government been connected to water and electricity, but even the ghosts who have escaped to the yang world can be connected.
What kind of cyber ghost is this?
Sure enough, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost.
"By the way, don't talk about me." Styx knocked the bowl with the chopsticks in his hand, "Are you also going out on duty?" I've heard a lot of colleagues talk about you, is it dangerous? ”
She held chopsticks in her right hand, and her left hand was wrapped around her hair under the table, and then her eyes wandered as if nothing happened: "If it's dangerous, just refuse, there's no need to take risks." ”
"No, Sister Night, I definitely have to take this task."
Then Wang Yan told his analysis and the section chief's analysis to the dark night.
"If I want to improve now, I can only go to the new director, and I have to try to do things well, but I don't know how she is a person. If she turns her face and doesn't recognize people later, she will decline. ”
"Probably not, I saw her when the new director came to our department to inspect the work before." Styx answered casually.
"Oh?" Wang Yanlai was in spirit, "Then what is our new director like?" ”
"Hmm...... It's a pretty girl, she is serious, but she should be really isolated, if you can help her this time, maybe she will be more interested in your blue eyes~" Styx said this a little empty-hearted.
"Alas, who knows what she is like in private." Wang Yan revealed his pressure at home, "It's difficult, it's difficult, but I can't do anything else." ”
Styx wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but he was the new director or something...... I really can't say it......
And if Ah Yan is at the grassroots level, she has a lot of things she doesn't know that she can hear through Ah Yan.
After thinking about it, she unfastened her tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt to reveal her delicate collarbones.
Then she took off a blue-green square jade pendant from her neck and handed it to Wang Yan, "Ah Yan, you wear this." ”
Wang Yan hesitated a little, "This ......"
Styx smiled: "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a talisman bought at a roadside stall, and you wear the right to be comforted." ”
"Then thank you, Sister Night."
Wang Yan was not hypocritical, so he took it and put it around his neck.
The jade pendant, which still exudes a faint fragrance, seems to be wearing body temperature, silently warming his chest.
Sister Styx is really different, even in the Yin Division, her body temperature is actually no different from that of a living person in the yang world, but Wang Yan will never ask anything about her.
After dinner, it was naturally a dark night to wash the dishes, and Wang Yan had already returned to the room.
After studying the jade pendant and not finding any problems, he went to sleep, although he may not be able to sleep, but it is also good to nourish his spirit, after all, he will go to do that test task tomorrow.
............
The bell rang three times, Wang Yan opened his eyes, and a carp sat up.
It was still dark outside the window, he slowed down and got up to change into a suit, and then quietly pushed the door without disturbing the dark night that might still be sleeping, and then slowly rode the small electric donkey and left the courtyard and headed towards the Yin Si.
Behind him, Nightshade pushed open the window.
At this time, her milky white hair gradually turned black from the roots, and the unfocused crimson phoenix eyes had been covered by the ribbon again.
She silently "watched" Wang Yan's departure.
"Ah Yan, it's all up to you this time......"
She wanted to prove that entrusting that thing to Wang Yan was the right choice, and she could only wait silently for the result to come.
