Chapter 34: My Boss Was A Ghost Lady (2)
Translator: Night Fury
[Shadow (awaken)] Even his title was imprinted on the ground. Although I couldn’t see his name, his title really was ‘shadow’. I never realized I could even see a shadow’s title... Right now, this shadow was standing sideways while waving his hand to me like a fortune cat.
Actually, this shadow looked a bit weird. It was made up of a large and a small mass of shadow. He didn’t even have the five senses of organs, like a man who was wearing a cloak and a hood.
“Why does Mr. Shadow look like this?” I didn’t even question the rationality of the existence of an independent shadow. It seemed that I had already got used to the unusual things.
I could only say, custom was a scary thing... “I heard that he has separated from his body for too long that he already forgot about what he looks like.”
“What the hell!” I had to complain about this. How could a shadow forget about his own appearance?
“What’s the fuss? If you don’t look into the mirror for a long time, you will also forget about what you look like. But he is not able to look into the mirror as a shadow, so it’s reasonable for him to forget about his own look.” Eddie explained for the shadow. Mr. Shadow nodded in agreement and then shrugged his shoulders... Although I totally couldn’t tell which parts of him were his shoulders.
This place was full of strange people... Wait, I couldn’t even call them humans... So, what kind of a person my chief was?
“So, the chief of our Sixth Office is...”
“Ehh Ahhhhhhhhhhh...” Before Li Nai finished her words, we heard a harsh cry. Meantime, a quirky BGM also started to sound from nowhere, which helped heighten the scary atmosphere.
All of us looked at the place which the sound came from... Eddie’s computer.
Among the three screens, the middle one suddenly turned grainy while making a buzzing noise like the broken-down old television... After that, there was an image showing on that screen. We saw a familiar well. Then, a woman in white climbed out of the well, then out of Eddie’s screen.
“...” X7. None of the five of us, the robot as well as the shadow screamed and escaped. We only looked at the person who had climbed out of the screen like ‘Sadako’.
And I already knew the background of this person...
[Earthbound Spirit][Qiu He]
The one who had spoken first was Eddie. With his eyebrows knitted, he looked at the white lady who was crawling over here with her body twisted and said,
“I mean, Miss Qiu Zi, can you stop using my screen to play old stuffs like this? My screens are all very expensive.”
“Well, little Eddie, don’t be so mean...” After the long hair woman saw that she didn’t frighten anyone, she lost her interest of going on. Then she took out a hairpin to tie up her hair which had hanged down loosely. I finally saw her face.
She was a pretty oriental woman with a high forehead and two squinted eyes.
As she came over to Yu Hui and me, she opened her arms and said smilingly,
“Welcome to the Sixth Office. I’m your chief here. Please call me Miss Qiu Zi. As you can see, I am a ghost. Technically speaking, I am an Earthbound Spirit who can not leave this building.” Earthbound Spirit?
