Chapter 4 The Work of the Dead

There are some jobs in this world that only dead people can do.

Of course, the dead here do not refer to those in a broad sense, but people like Chen Lin and the others whose life and existence have been wiped out by the world.

On the day of accepting the appointment of the responsible spirit, the group of new spirits that Chen Lin was in charge of was reduced.In addition to the woman who jumped from the aisle in the air, there was also the middle-aged man, it should be said that it was a middle-aged man's ghost. Early the next morning, he was found dead in his room.

When the other ghosts found him, the corpse had already stiffened, showing a strange posture-hands stretched in the air in vain, as if trying to grab something in the dark underground.However, what did he want to achieve?

Liberty, sunshine... or the right to live?

But now, no one cares about the idea of ​​a corpse, and no one cares about what he longed for before he died.

The ghosts who collected the body just stuffed him into a bag, and no one saw the guy again.

This time, they are all really dead.

His breathing stopped, his heart stopped beating, and he no longer had the qualifications to live underground.

It was already the next morning when Chen Lin got the news.The number of ghosts in the group decreased by two at once, and most of the remaining ones were old, weak, sick and disabled. If they were replaced by a serious and responsible team leader, it might cause a headache.

Chen Lin also had a headache, but it wasn't because of this.

He thought of another point.If all the ghosts in his batch die in the end, wouldn't his job of being in charge of spirits be meaningless?Without work, there is no food. This is a world of absolute distribution according to work.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned unemployment situation, Chen Lin decided to find a solid job first according to what Lao Liu and the manager said.When he was thinking this way, Lao Liu, who hadn't seen him for a day, came to him again.

"It seems that you are doing well." Old Liu looked him up and down, "You have been in charge of the team since you first came here, so you have a bright future."

"I'm just aware of current affairs." Chen Lin said, "By the way, Uncle Liu..."

"You can just call me Lao Liu. I don't want to be called Uncle after being a dead ghost." Lao Liu lit a cigarette, "Speaking of which, I came to see you this time for a serious business. I went to the lobby to gather yesterday , that old guy introduced the general situation here to you newcomers. What about you, what do you think after hearing it?"

old man?

Chen Lin recalled the face of the manager yesterday, and then took a look at Lao Liu. He felt that no matter from which point of view, Lao Liu was more worthy of the title "old guy".Of course, he didn't show it on his face.

"I want to find a job, as soon as possible."

"Hehe, I knew you would answer like that." Lao Liu smiled and cut off the cigarette. "Come on, come with me. I'll take you to find a job."

When going out with Lao Liu, Chen Lin saw a ghost standing outside, a girl who looked like she was only in her teens, she just stood in the corner without speaking.Noticing that Chen Lin's eyes fell on the girl, Lao Liu kindly explained to him: "I'm in the same group as you. I went shopping around this morning and pulled you two out. The others..." He Humming and laughing twice, it was meaningful.

Needless to say, Chen Lin can also imagine it.The other ghosts probably couldn't accept the current situation, and escaped from this underground world, so how could they come out with Lao Liu?

Seeing Chen Lin, the ten-year-old girl let out a murmur.

"Team, captain."

When she shouted, goosebumps all over Chen Lin's body.When he was working before, it was always someone else who was his boss. Now that a little girl called him that, he really couldn't get used to it for a while.

Old Liu on the side saw that they were all awkward, he laughed, patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and said: "Get used to it, it's not wrong for her to call you the captain, after all, you belong to this group. And you don't think that Assuming a position in charge of the spirit, you only need to enjoy the rights, and you don’t have to bear any responsibilities, right?”

Chen Lin frowned, and was about to say that what the manager said yesterday was not like what you said, but he swallowed the words.

It's useless to say more, the rules of this underground world don't seem to be so easy to understand, he should get used to it slowly.

"Let's go, the benefits of newcomers, today I will take you around and introduce you to this place."

Chen Lin and the little girl followed Old Liu, and followed him around this floor.

The three ghosts were floating around in this huge underground world. As they walked, Lao Liu's boring explanation sounded in his ears.

"The floor you live on is the No.19 floor, and now there are 740 six ghosts."

"Did you see that giant pillar? We call it the Hell Pillar here, because no one knows where it leads to the ground, nor where it connects to."

"The real management comes and goes through hell pillars, and we ghosts rarely see them."

Management, the pillar of hell.Chen Lin secretly remembered these two special nouns, and asked at the same time: "Are those management staff ghosts like us? Or are they living people?"

Old Liu looked back at him with unpredictable eyes. "There are no living things in the ground, and they are definitely not living people." After a pause, he continued, "But they are not the same as us, they are not ghosts like us who can't see the light of day. They were probably ordered by the superiors to watch over us. Well, huh, to face this lot of 'dead people' every day, they are actually pretty miserable."

That being said, Chen Lin didn't hear a hint of sympathy from Lao Liu's voice. Compared with those managements, they, living ghosts, were worse off than dead.

"There is a cafeteria in front, and you have to swipe the amount on your card to eat. If you swipe up the amount, you will be hungry." Lao Liu said: "If you go to work, the amount will be charged to your card according to the workload. That's why you don't work. There is no food to eat."

"But newcomers have preferential treatment. They can enjoy the cafeteria for free for the first week." After Lao Liu finished speaking, he laughed. "Are you hungry? Go in and have a meal now."

Chen Lin and the others followed him into the so-called cafeteria, which was actually a slightly larger stone room.Dining here made Chen Lin wonder if he had degenerated into a primitive person.

As expected, the food served in this cafeteria is not much better.Chen Lin looked at the two small bags of food in his hands, which seemed to be filled with fluids such as nutrients.There is no trace of heat, and there is no trace of humanity.Chen Lin thought to himself, I'm afraid this was also deliberately arranged.

Even the food they eat is completely different from that of living people, in order to let these ghosts clearly realize the fact that they are no longer alive.

"Old Liu." Putting two bags of food into his pocket, Chen Lin said, "I want to go directly to the place where the work is assigned."

"Well, young spirit, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I want to find a job quickly." Chen Lin said, "I was looking for a job every day when I was alive, and I'm not used to this kind of idle life."

Old Liu gave a casual hum, and turned around to ask the little girl on the other side. "And you, do you want to continue eating?"

The girl stood up immediately, looked at Chen Lin and Lao Liu tremblingly, and finally cast her gaze on Chen Lin.

"I, I... what the captain says, that's what it is."

"Oh, you are really obedient."

Old Liu stood up boringly, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Chen Lin stood up after him, and at the same time couldn't help but look at the girl who had been ignored by him at the beginning.Weak, timid, but very discerning.Of course, Chen Lin didn't think arrogantly that the other party obeyed him because he had foresight.But in such a disadvantaged situation, it is not easy for this little girl to find a harmless like-minded person so quickly.

She can live, live as a ghost.

The girl seemed a little nervous under Chen Lin's scrutiny, "Team, captain?"

"Let's go." Chen Lin said, "Follow."

He didn't look back, didn't extend his hand, but just handed his back to the girl.However, the girl stared blankly at his back, her eyes flushed unknowingly, and after a while, she reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, and quickly followed him.

Lao Liu finally took them to another space that was quite different from the hall in the Hell Pillar.

Here and the cave-like cafeteria just now are completely two worlds.

From the floor to the ceiling, and the walls, everything is paved with a silver metal.In this empty circular space, a huge display screen hangs in the middle. On the left half, various digital codes are quickly skipped, and on the right half, there are long narrative sentences.

The screen on the right is divided into dozens of small horizontal bars, each with a blue or red sign behind it.

Lao Liu introduced to the stunned two ghosts: "The one on the right is the assigned work, and the one on the left is the code name of each ghost here, yours... Look at the back of the card, it should be written. "

Chen Lin issued a card to take a look: U-Z1103

This is his name in this underground world.

"Tasks that have already been accepted will display a red symbol, and those that have not been accepted will have a blue symbol." Old Liu seemed to be out of interest, "If you want to find a job, go and see for yourself."

After speaking, he walked aside.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you guys! If you want to take on any job, just enter your code name and the digital ID of the job on the operating belt below." After saying the last sentence, Lao Liu turned a corner and went Really disappeared.

In this huge space, only Chen Lin and the little girl are left.

Without Lao Liu present, the girl seemed to be more courageous, and took the initiative to ask Chen Lin for questioning.

"Team, captain, are we going to take over the job now?"

"Let's go and see what's there."

Chen Lin walked closer to look at the screen, and was surprised to find that it was even bigger than imagined.Moreover, he had never seen this kind of screen in the upper world.The scientific and technological strength of this underground world completely exceeded his previous imagination.

Regardless of the series of ghost codes passing by on the left, Chen Lin focused on the task column on the right.

All kinds of tasks suitable for "dead people" really opened his eyes.Generally speaking, there are jobs in the cafeteria, and they are responsible for distributing food by swiping cards; looking at the weird side, some jobs have names that Chen Lin has never seen before.

Corpse Picker, Mask.Chen Lin glanced at these tasks, but didn't look any further.

Maintenance team, hiring team.These nouns made him look a few more times curiously, reminding him of the fantasy novels he had read before.But obviously, it is not suitable for him now.

--janitor.

This seems to be the most normal one, give it a try.While Chen Lin was thinking, he entered his code name and work digital ID into the machine.

drop--

[U-G1103 takes over the job of "cleaner", please rush to room J-10 on this floor within 918 minutes. ] Such a line of prompts popped up on the screen of the machine.Chen Lin thought, to clean the room?

At this moment, he still doesn't know what the real meaning of the "cleaner" job he took over is.

It is true to clean up the garbage and dirt in this underground world, but sometimes, the dirt is not the kind of dirt that common sense thinks.

This is a stain that only belongs to the underground world.
