Promised took a bucket of instant noodles from the refrigerator and handed it to me. ”Would you like some instant noodles?”
”Then go on.” I reached for the instant noodles and poured hot water into them. ”Don't you ever think about the dead man?”
The ghost lady hurriedly said, ”How could that be possible? I wouldn't choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Even if I had to die, I would eat sleeping pills. It wouldn't be too painful this way. How much better would it be if I slept through it?”
”If you can't even remember what you died of and how you died, then what are you still doing in that company?”
”I don't know either. I feel like there's something I haven't done yet, but no matter what, I can't remember.” Since I can't remember anymore, I shouldn't think about it anymore, but I still don't understand. If it was just her alone, she wouldn't have lasted so long in that company.
I whispered, ”Are there any other ghosts besides you?”
The ghost lady said softly, ”It should be gone, what's wrong?”
I whispered, ”You can stay here for the night. When the time comes, I'll send you back to life.”
”I won't leave. I still don't know how I died.” That doesn't make any sense at all. Let's ignore her for now, I'll go to the company tomorrow to take a look. I washed up and went back to my room. After a while, I lay down on my bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door. Chen Hong came early in the morning. I walked out of my bedroom and saw him chatting with Promised. He greeted me as he saw me get up.
”Morning …” ”Why are you here so early?” I yawned and walked into the bathroom. After washing my face and rinsing my mouth, I said, ”I've already found the ghost from last night. I've also tamed it.”
Chen Hong quickly said, ”I was just about to tell you about this. Last night, after you two left, when the security guards were on patrol, we saw the ghost again.”
”What?” I was slightly stunned and looked at the female ghost standing in the corner. She also looked at me with a puzzled expression. ”I didn't do it.”
”How can that be,” he said doubtfully, ”and a ghost?”
Chen Hong had an ugly expression as he said, ”Brother Liu, please help me check again. This isn't going to work out. My employee has been arguing every day about leaving the company, which affects my company's reputation and business.”
I whispered, ”Alright! After we finish eating, I'll go take a look.”
This time, I didn't bring any promises, so I let her go to the store first. Chen Hong and I came to the company. By comparison, there were less people in the company today, but as soon as I entered the company, I felt a chill coming from the air.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Yin Qi would be so strong in just one night.
Chen Hong and I sat in the elevator and went upstairs. I finally noticed that all of the Yin Qi was gathered on this floor.
Chen Hong replied softly, ”I don't know why, but how did it all end up like this?”
I walked into Chen Hong's office and took a look. On the windowsill of Chen Hong's office, there was a toad filled with one dollar coins and a fruit plate.
”What's this? Where did you get it from?”
”It was made for me by an expert. That expert knows Feng Shui and is very powerful!”
I softly said, ”Jin Chan used it to collect money. Why would he leave it here? Are you lying to me?”
Chen Hong smiled embarrassedly, ”Actually, I picked up this thing. I once passed by a scenic area when I was out on a business trip.”
”It really was raining then, so I hid in a small cave. I found this Golden Toad in one of the underground caves.” I also got someone to appraise it. This Golden Toad is indeed gold, so I brought it back.
”The problem is found. It's this Jin Chan.” I stepped forward and reached for the toad, but suddenly I felt a force push me back.
The office descended into darkness, as if there was a power outage, and the temperature inside dropped.
This entire floor was covered in Yin Qi, and the toad's eyes were blood-red. It flickered for a moment before letting out a gurgling sound. ”Cough, cough.” I looked at him with a surprised expression. Reaching out of my backpack, I took out an axe and chopped down with the axe.
”Gu Gu …” ”Gu gu!” Jin Chan cried out twice before spitting out a mouthful of black air. He leaped forward and landed on the ground.
”Don't let it get away!” I hastily gave chase, and the Golden Toad ran out of the office. As soon as I left the office, I saw that the employees working in the office area seemed to have been controlled, and they slowly stood up from their seats.
