Christmas and New Year 2025 Update…. Happy bonus update, you guys….
Things had come to this, what else could they do? With a monthly salary of 300 yuan, they couldn’t ask for more from their employees.
This company provided salary, food and drink, and annual leave. If you didn’t seize the opportunity to join, what were you waiting for? Needless to say, the ghosts who pursued their dreams, some of those who were still hesitant about reincarnation, were also shaken by what Tuan Tuanyi heard from Qiu Guokai’s family about the grand queue of reincarnation in the underworld.
Therefore, in just a moment, the huddled and crowded group of ghosts lined up neatly in a long queue, reported their names and registered their ghost information one by one, waiting to build socialism together. The scene then became unprecedentedly harmonious and beautiful.
Not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Kuang Zhiming turned to their friend Lu Wenqing with a confused look on their faces: “Do you know… what they are doing?”
Lu Wenqing held his peach wood sword and was silent for a long time before answering with difficulty: “Recruitment…right?”
“…” Kuang Zhiming scratched his head frantically, “So what exactly do they do!!!”
Aren’t we here to slay demons and subdue ghosts? Why are you suddenly recruiting? And what’s up with that complete salary management system?
Kuang Zhiming suddenly felt that the personnel composition of this unknown new Taoist temple might be very suspicious. Could they all be a group of demons and monsters? The force they just displayed was also very unscientific!
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed to him. As a result, he became alert and saw that the registered substitute ghosts were obediently lined up in several groups under the guidance. The second disciple of Taicang Sect, who looked particularly good, made a few gestures at them with impatience and disgust on his face, and a gust of warm wind suddenly came out of nowhere, sweeping away their obsession.
This skill…
Kuang Zhiming leaned sadly on his wife’s shoulder. It turned out that it wasn’t a monster, it was really because he was not as skilled as others…
However, although the substitute ghosts’ obsessions had been cleared, their appearance at the time of death could not be changed, so there was a difference in the allocation of jobs. Those who died with a bloody head and a blurred face with a long tongue were assigned to the haunted house, and only those with a clean and clear appearance could work in the detective agency.
The detective agency ghosts could go out during working hours, which was obviously much more interesting than scaring people in a haunted house. For a while, many substitute ghosts complained and regretted it together. Most of them committed suicide. Those who jumped from the building had flat heads and those who hung themselves had long tongues. It was not only difficult to find a partner among the ghosts around, but they also didn’t expect that even their work would be affected.
The ghosts were indignant about this and felt that this society was too superficial.
Wei Xi was still upset about not having had anything to eat, his face was terribly dark, and so he ignored their requests completely.
….
Only then did Tan Fu cover his crotch and ask tremblingly: “Is the matter…is it resolved?”
Kuang Zhiming finally came to his senses, raised his head from his wife’s shoulder, and forced himself not to look at the weird scene over there. He looked at Tan Fu’s appearance, thought for a while and said, “This is just a temporary solution. These ghosts who want to use you as a substitute have been… conquered and can only use you as a substitute. Sooner or later, other ghosts will target you.”
Tan Fu’s hair stood on end when he heard this: “Then! What should I do? Can’t I just throw away this broken amulet?”
“It’s useless. The request has nothing to do with whether you carry the talisman or not. The moment you accept the request from the other party, the request has already been transferred to you.”
Tan Fu cried again after hearing this answer. He wished he could go back in time and strangle himself to death. Why did he play WeChat Shake for no reason? Why did he go out and chat with others behind his wife’s back? Now he was in trouble and his life was in danger!
Seeing this, Kuang Zhiming comforted him and said, “Don’t be like this. This is not a dead end.”
Tan Fu immediately became excited when he heard this: “Is there any way to solve it?!”
Kuang Zhiming was finally relieved when he encountered a request for help within his professional field. This was an almost unsolvable problem for others, but for him, it was not impossible to solve. Liandu Temple was well-known in the local area, and this was not a false reputation gained by swindling people. He was quite confident in his own skills.
However, the substitute talisman that Tan Fu got was too dangerous, and he didn’t know where the spirit had hidden after possessing him. It was not easy to get rid of it completely. He had to go to the temple to burn incense, perform rituals, and then bathe and fast for three months. During this period, he had to be careful and not contact any strangers, so as to avoid the substitute from disturbing him after learning about it. After three months, he had to perform rituals again, offer various tributes to the substitute, and then use them to force him to leave.
All the cumbersome steps gave Kuang Zhiming a headache just thinking about it, but trouble was better than being caught by a ghost to be a substitute, so he pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and nodded: “You can give it a try, but you have to be mentally prepared, it will be very troublesome.”
Wei Xi had been attracted by Tan Fu’s voice. Seeing the request in Tan Fu’s hand, he agreed, “This guy does look troublesome.”
Kuang Zhiming was about to nod when he looked at Tan Fu for a few seconds, then suddenly swung his arm and punched him!
Tan Fu: “???!!!”
Wei Xi punched Tan Fu in the left eye and the right eye, making him dizzy and dazed. Then he stopped and showed a look of understanding: “Sure enough, he is hiding here.”
Kuang Zhiming was shocked by his actions. When he turned around, he found that Tan Fu’s eyes were swollen. At the same time, the obvious bags under his eyes disappeared!
Kuang Zhiming: “…”
Tan Fu covered his face and cried out in pain: “Xiao Xi, why did you suddenly hit me?
Wei Xi motioned him to find a mirror to look at his face and explained: “I guess the substitute is hiding here. It’s okay. I have chased him away now.”
Tan Fu took out his cell phone and looked at the front camera and found that his eye bags had mysteriously disappeared. The grievance of being beaten just now immediately turned into ecstasy that the trouble was solved, and he was so happy that he felt sick.
He was in ecstasy and pain at the same time. He turned to Kuang Zhiming with lingering fear and said, “Master Kuang, you are right. This thing is really troublesome to deal with. Hiss… I don’t know when the swelling in my eye will go down.”
Kuang Zhiming: “………………”
It’s difficult! It’s flat!
