Chapter 112: Interview with the Ghost Messenger
"And this way you can stay in the underworld, you don't have to reincarnate right away, and you don't have to rush to read your novel. What if the book burns down, and it's time for you to reincarnate, and you can't see the ending. Who knows what you will experience after a hundred years? The novel will be gone."
The connection between ghosts in the underworld and the human world is not strong. Except for the days when the ghost gates are open, it is strictly forbidden for ghosts other than ghost messengers to enter the human world. If they are caught, their souls will be scattered. No one wants to pay such a price.
When a person dies, the light goes out and the past of the world should disappear into thin air.
Ordinary ghosts may miss the offerings burned by their relatives every year, but the ghost messenger has long lost the feeling after working day after day.
When descendants arrive in the underworld, ghost messengers who are related to them will also avoid them.
Old man Wang thought about it and felt that being a ghost catcher was not bad. When he went in, he felt that those people were very cool and there were so many benefits.
"Okay, I'll sign up."
Xie Ling raised the corners of his lips. It seemed that he didn't see the mountain of files, or he thought it was just a background for showing off.
He reacted really quickly and tricked another person.
The underworld has existed for so many years, so of course some ghost officials have joined voluntarily.
First there is an interview. After passing the interview, you can choose the cooperation period by yourself, with a minimum of two hundred years, and then sign a contract.
In the past, that thing was called a contract, but now Yan Wang has changed it to a contract to keep up with the trend.
Once the contract comes into effect, it becomes a ghost messenger.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Ling became the interviewer sitting opposite Old Man Wang.
He asked seriously, "Why did you come to interview for this position?"
Old man Wang blinked, was stunned for a moment, and asked bluntly: "Didn't you ask me to come?"
"Ahem," Xie Ling said calmly under the gaze of his colleagues, "Congratulations, you passed the interview."
"Please choose the time to cooperate with the underworld."
Old man Wang didn't understand all this and waved his hand, letting them do as they pleased. He was now eager to exercise his employee benefits, so he sent a dream to have someone burn the book.
Xie Ling glanced at Old Man Wang and then exchanged glances with several of his colleagues.
A few people pretended to be casual and filled it with five hundred years.
Old man Wang put his fingerprint on it and the contract came into effect.
A shiny employee badge appeared on his chest, engraved with his name and an indecipherable pattern, which looked so tacky.
Several ghost officials changed their serious and pretentious expressions during the interview and enthusiastically went up to shake hands with Old Man Wang.
Old man Wang was overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm. When he calmed down, he was already sitting in front of a mountain of files.
These files were all taken out by his colleagues and placed at his workstation.
He had just taken office and had no time to catch his breath before he had to deal with all this.
Old man Wang looked at Xie Ling who was standing opposite his workstation. The other party looked away guiltily. He inexplicably felt as if he was on a pirate ship.

【“I’m sorry to all my fans that I haven’t updated for a long time, because I’ve been feeling a little weird lately… Even now when I’m chatting with you live, I feel like someone is watching me from behind.”
"Yes, I moved out of the dormitory. Not long ago, a strange thing happened to me. It might be a little scary to talk about it. If there are any timid babies, you'd better leave the live broadcast room first."
"About two or three weeks ago, I had a nightmare. It was a scary nightmare, and it was very real. I haven't had a nightmare like this involving ghosts for a long time, and it can wake me up directly from sleep."
"I remember it very clearly. It was 8 a.m. that day, and I had a full class schedule that morning. Plus, I stayed up until 3 a.m. the day before, so I was so sleepy that I went to bed and took a nap after class."
"The dream started when I woke up from a nap and got up. At that time, there were only me and another roommate in the dormitory. I got out of bed and saw that there were a lot of things in my place that didn't belong to me. The table and the floor were very dirty and covered with dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time and no one had cleaned it."
"There were many pairs of my slippers on the ground. The styles were similar to my current slippers, but the sizes were different. There was also a lot of sand inside the shoes. I couldn't find my own slippers for a while, so I tried on other ones."
"I also asked my roommate if she had put these things on my desk. My roommate was also surprised and said no, it seemed like these things were not there just now."
"I was thinking of some kind of time travel or something very funny. Fortunately, I found my slippers, so I put them on and went to the balcony to get some clothes. When I opened the curtains, I found that the weather outside was very strange."
"The weather forecast said it would be sunny today. When get out of class was over at noon, the sun was also very strong. But now I opened the curtains and saw that it was windy outside. Half of the sky was overcast and the other half was sunny. It looked a bit like the black and white Bagua diagram."
"My roommate came over and asked if we could still have afternoon classes in this weather, as it looked like it was going to rain heavily."
"I forgot what I replied at that time, but when I turned around, I saw a person reflected in the window. A person was hung on the clothes hanger on the balcony. Only half of her body was left, and her lower body was covered in blood. Her body was swaying. When it turned to my side, it was a completely unfamiliar face."
"I was so scared that I turned around and looked at my roommate's face. She had obviously seen it too and was terrified. We both stood there for a while and then walked away from there stiffly."
"My roommate was following me the whole time. The bathroom in our dormitory was the farthest from the balcony. We stood at the bathroom door and wanted to discuss something, but I forgot what it was."
"I only know that my roommate said something and suddenly left, leaving me alone facing the bathroom. When I was about to leave that place, I looked up and saw that there was a big mirror in our bathroom."
"In the mirror, my roommate was still standing next to me, but her voice came from her position, talking to me non-stop. By this time, I was already terrified. Then, I saw the 'roommate' in the mirror suddenly raised her head and gave me a twisted smile."
"I was frightened awake in an instant, and when I woke up, I found that my body was soaked with cold sweat."
"Ever since I had this dream, I feel like I have some kind of mental illness. When I was in the dormitory, I always felt like someone was watching me from behind. No, not from behind, but from all directions."
"I feel the same way even when I'm alone in the dormitory."
"Then one day, I fell asleep on my desk for no apparent reason. When I opened my eyes dazedly, I found a person lying next to me. His black hair was hanging on the desk, and his face was as white as a dead person."
"A pair of eyes, with black pupils that were invisible. She faced me and made the same pose as me. When she saw that I was awake, she gave me a very ferocious smile."
