Hades system

The night was thick, and the dark clouds covered the moon, blocking all light in an instant.

At the entrance of the store at No. 4 Chengnan Road, Bai Ziren looked up at the clothing store that had been carefully arranged by his father and him. At this time, there was a small wooden plaque hanging on it, and his brows were rarely relaxed.

During the two months after the end of the high school entrance examination, he ran around, and finally completed the decoration of his mother's store and the layout of his own factory in the few days before the start of school.The name of my mother's clothing store was given by Pai Qing, and most of the subsequent decorations were done by Pai Qing.

His mother, Jiang Biyun, naturally didn't know about this, but Bai Qing didn't care, and he already felt extremely satisfied to give this storefront to his wife as a gift.Therefore, the decoration of this store is very thoughtful, so that when Jiang Biyun came to see it yesterday, she almost cried out of joy.

"Abbe...thank you...you are so considerate, good boy."

At that time, Jiang Biyun was wiping the red corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth could not suppress her smile. Her eyes fell on every place in the store for a long time, from the delicate bead curtains in front of the door to the orchids on the window sills. Be careful.

"When your father was alive, he liked to send me flowers...At that time, all the boys in the country were responsible people who only knew how to farm the land. Only your father is a ghost, who knows how to deceive girls...every day he takes advantage of me. Before I went to the ground, I deliberately put a flower at the door of your grandma's house... On the one hand, I looked down on him, but on the other hand, I thought, this is such a funny person... How did he...how did he know that I like these..."

When Jiang Biyun said this, Bai Qing had been standing by the window sill and listening quietly. When he heard his wife talk about those things when he was young, he couldn't help but a helpless smile appeared on his face. Then he looked at Bai Ziren who was on the side and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Bai Ziren blinked lightly at this thought, but was a little moved by the relationship between his parents.The one who knew he was going to wait hopelessly but still loved deeply, and the one who knew nothing but still insisted on affection.There are too many couples in this world who face each other day and night, but they don't know how to cherish and hate each other. However, Bai Qing and Jiang Biyun are separated by a distance of life and death, but there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding in the dark, maintaining their separation for many years But no less friendship.

After tonight, this clothing store called Baijiadian will officially open, and Bai Ziren will officially enter high school tomorrow and become a member of No. [-] High School, a key high school in City Y.

A month ago, he had already received the admission notice from the school.This high school located on the outskirts of the city is well-known in the entire city of Y, and is known as the cradle of key universities with the highest enrollment rate in the province.In this city, it has always been known for its fully closed militarized management.When he found out that his son had been admitted to this key high school, the elated Jiang Biyun almost wanted to tell the good news to everyone in the world. He hurriedly bought a lot of candies and chocolates, and when he saw an acquaintance, he wanted to send some to everyone. Happy.At the same time, Bai Ziren, who hadn't contacted Du Fuling since the dispute that day, also learned from the class teacher Zhu Feng that Du Fuling was the only person in the class who was admitted to this high school like himself.

"You two have a good relationship, and now you can have fun together in high school... Our No. [-] Middle School's senior high school entrance examination results are generally not very good this year. You and Du Fuling are the two most outstanding in our class. The teacher sincerely cares for you. Proud... I also hope that you can continue to work hard to become talents useful to society and the country..."

On the day she went to school to get the report card, Zhu Fengyu looked at Bai Ziren standing in front of her earnestly, her voice was full of care and tenderness.

"Du Fuling is a good boy. We all know about his parents' problems... We can't blame him. Sometimes I even feel sad from the bottom of my heart when I see his unwillingness to say anything... But , I, as a teacher, can help him very little. Apart from applying for some student loans for him every year, I can't do much more... And just yesterday, when he came back to school to get the report card, he actually put All the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the past three years have been brought, let me help him pay back to the school..."

Having said that, Zhu Feng sighed deeply, took out a crumpled cowhide envelope from the drawer, shook her head lightly and said,

"I can't bear the kindness of others to him, and live in this world with self-blame and pain... This is too unfair to a child... Bai Ziren, if you can, don't give up on him, can you... He is probably only you in this world."

Zhu Feng's voice seemed to be still in his ears, and Bai Ziren looked at the dark sky, suddenly not knowing whether his impulsive action was right or wrong.

Thinking of this, Bai Ziren frowned subconsciously, and walked slowly to the side of the road. On the side of the deserted street, a taxi with an empty car was waiting for him there.

"Boss Boss, where are we going next?"

A driver with a slanted mouth and a slanted face in a car accident was sitting in the front driver's seat smoking a cigarette. Seeing Bai Ziren get into the car, he asked a question with a smile.

Bai Ziren sat in the back seat, thinking for a while, he suddenly wanted to see Du Fuling, but in the end he looked at the sky outside the car window and fell silent.

A few days ago, Bai Ziren also emptied out the storefront of Li Ji's coffin shop, and renovated it into a physical store of his Guitao shop.

The shop started trial operation at [-] o'clock the day before yesterday, and its daily business hours are from [-] o'clock at night to [-] o'clock in the morning. At present, Bai Xiansheng is mainly the store manager, and Zhao Facai is the temporary clerk.

The store now mainly sells some necessities necessary for the daily life of the dead. It is divided into a tribute area, a funeral article area and a clothing area.Bai Ziren decorated the store to look like a supermarket, imitating a department store in the world, setting up various shelves and price signs, placing incense candles of various flavors, various spells, dozens of paper flowers, realistic paper figurines, etc. Various types of urns and wreaths and shrouds are put on the shelves, and customers can choose according to the price, and finally they are unified at the cashier to check out.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by living people entering by mistake, Bai Ziren specially hired a living temporary worker to help in the store.This old man with poor eyesight and ears is called Yuan Youdao. He used to set up a fortune-telling stall on the street, because the provincial leaders came to inspect him recently, and he was kicked out of the stall by the urban management, and he is currently unemployed.Since the old man has not figured out whether Bai Xiansheng is a dog or Zhao Facai is a dog, and he has been studying metaphysics for many years, he has already mastered the way of fooling around, after thinking about it, Bai Ziren hired him decisively, and put him Arranged at the cash register position.

So later, when there were countless live customers who walked into this store called 'Baijia Supermarket' in the middle of the night, what they encountered was a squinting old man sitting in front of the cash register, and in front of the old man's Behind, there is a whole room full of horrifying scenes of incense candles, paper money, longevity pillow urns.

"Hey, hello, comrade, what do you want to buy? We have everything here. Now the night goods are on sale and discounted, and the whole casket is discounted by [-]%. If you become a platinum member, you can also accumulate points, and you can collect [-] points You can buy a set of evil-proof underwear..."

Living person: "...Mom, mom, there seems to be something wrong, help, help qaq"

As for the dead man express company, it had officially settled in City Y half a month ago.Since then, apart from burning paper, there has been a brand-new logistics method among ghosts.

As the co-founders of this courier company called 'Ghost Express', Bai Ziren, who contributed money, and Ye Jiujiu, who contributed money, also held half of the company's shares.In terms of technical support, Xue Jin'an, Ye Nineteen's living friend, specially applied for an exclusive website for their courier company, and set up a special domain name, so that dead people can check the courier number by themselves.

Since the express company officially opened, the number of parcels nationwide has also continued to increase, and the feedback on lost parcels and problematic items is significantly less than that of burning paper.During this time, Bai Ziren also received ghost letters from different parts of the country, hoping to set up an exclusive express delivery point in his place to facilitate the life and shopping of the local dead.

As for the 2000 square meters of abandoned farmland in Hengshui Town, except for one piece that was given to Bai Xiansheng and Zhao Facai as a joint burial, Bai Ziren hired the Bailai No. The ghosts of the villagers planted crops on the barren and lumpy land that had been idle for many years.Plant wheat in autumn and rice in summer. In the following three years, Hengshui Town has changed from a town with almost no people to a town with extremely prosperous agricultural export. That is of course a later story.

As for those dead small traders who have occupied the land of Hengshui Town for a long time and set up stalls illegally, after Bai Ziren bought the land in Hengshui Town and became the official landlord, he gave them a unified notice, except not to make garbage casually, and pay attention to the hygiene around the stalls In addition, they also need to pay the Hengshui Town Government an appropriate annual booth fee to support the development of the local economy.Although afterwards, as the secretary, Suru was very dazed when he received the large sum of money, but this did not affect that the plan in Bai Ziren's mind was slowly and steadily revealing its embryonic form.

My life is becoming more and more exciting as I planned, but some things seem irreparable.

Looking at the thick night outside the window and thinking like this, Bai Ziren sighed softly, and finally said lightly,

"Master, I'm sorry, just drive back to my house, it's fine."

On September [-]st, the first day of school, parents and students carrying suitcases and packages kept coming and going at the gate of No. [-] Middle School.

Du Fuling stood alone at the gate with a schoolbag on her back, and a somewhat worn-out luggage bag in her hand.He squinted his eyes and looked around this extraordinarily glamorous high school, but there was no excitement or joy in his heart.

No. [-] Middle School is a boarding high school, and this also means that all enrolled students, no matter how far your home is from the school, must obey the school's management and live in the school dormitory uniformly.Du Fuling chose this middle school at that time, firstly because he knew that Bai Ziren would definitely be admitted to this high school with his grades, and secondly because he wanted to leave the orphanage and live a little of his own life.

But now, the first reason didn't seem so important. Bai Ziren didn't come to him for the whole holiday, and with Du Fuling's character, it was naturally impossible to bow to Bai Ziren under such circumstances.

So the two remained in a stalemate. During this period, Jiang Biyun came to the orphanage to see him a few times. While bringing a lot of food, he didn't seem to notice the rift between the two children.

"Fu Ling, why don't you come to the house recently? Every time Auntie cooks delicious food, you don't come... After going to school, you have to take care of yourself. School is not as good as home, you know? Yes Let Abo tell Auntie about anything... Although Auntie has no skills, you are a child, and you always have to be taken care of by an adult... On the first day of school, I can't see Abo. If you want to go, you two can go together...Two It's also good to be a companion..."

"Well, I see, Auntie..."

Du Fuling always has inexhaustible obedience and docility when facing Jiang Biyun, which is completely different from the hostile look in front of outsiders.He smiled gently and swallowed the delicious food in his mouth, but his heart felt bitter as if he had chewed Coptis chinensis.

"To be with him, how can I be worthy..."

Muttering something self-deprecating, Du Fuling smiled and walked unsteadily towards the school, and just after he disappeared at the school gate, Bai Ziren also walked out of the crowd alone.

He didn't notice that Du Fuling had just left, and Bai Ziren, who came to report by himself today, obviously had a lot of luggage in his hands.Jiang Biyun prepared a few sets of bedding and sheets for him, and when he learned that he would live on campus and could only come back once a month, he even stuffed all the pickles, radishes, and chili sauce he had pickled into the box for him. Bai Xiansheng Zhao Facai, who is a colleague, also expressed his strong reluctance and persuasion to him, and stuffed him with many famous beds such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Notes on a Haunted House", "Take My Life for Ten Years of Your Innocence" and so on. Headbook as a farewell gift.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at his admission notice thoughtfully. Bai Ziren, who was a little helpless by the heavy box in his hand, raised his head and looked at the huge school in front of him, but felt something was wrong. The breath made me lose my mind.

[Drip - there are no non-human creatures within 1000 meters! 】

The system prompt sounded in his ears, and Bai Ziren walked along the crowd while looking around the high school expressionlessly. The students and parents in front of him were coming and going, but they were clean as if there was no trace of death. breath.

Obviously, as an educational site, the school has always been the best place for ghosts to inhabit. Why does this No. [-] middle school located in the suburbs show such a state...

Until he found his dormitory, Bai Ziren was still thinking about it, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out.In front of him was an old-fashioned wooden door, and he could vaguely hear a few people talking inside, but before he could fully open the door, he heard a strange voice and a very familiar voice from inside at the same time stand up.

"Well, you just came here, what's your name? We are all roommates, let me introduce myself... My name is Zhao Chunshan... His name is Xiao Mingyue..."

"Oh, my name is Du Fuling, the Fuling from Fuling Cake."

With a nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth, the pale young man who was sitting on the edge of the iron bed and shaking his leg curled his mouth when he heard this, with an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth, his expression was a bit of a ruffian that Bai Ziren was unfamiliar with. gas.

"Pfft...your name is so cute...hey, Yuxi, do you have any more, give me one too~"

The young man standing on the lower bunk and packing his things raised his head and smiled at Du Fuling, but Du Fuling raised his eyebrows when he heard that, then took out two lollipops from his coat pocket, and gave them to the two young men below. Lost one.

"Minors are not allowed to smoke... Do you know that adults smoke... Haha..."

"Tch, you are boring..."

The other two teenagers didn't really want it at first, but they laughed at Du Fuling's unscrupulous teasing, and packed up their things with a candy in their mouths.

And Du Fuling didn't say a word, just took out a lighter from his pocket, and then lighted it for himself casually, but just as he moved to his mouth to smoke it, he heard the door being pushed open suddenly, and then A cold, very familiar voice rang in his ears, and the cigarette in his hand fell from his hand in fright.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Is this a new hobby? It's amazing."

Du Fuling: "........."
