Ghost World Office

Liao Zhi coughed, covered his nose, and looked away.The people who should be embarrassed are Lu Yi and Tao Ye, but Liao Zhi has a strong ability to empathize. At this moment, he feels that he also wants to find a crack in the ground.

"It's been a while."

Tao Ye rushed down the island quickly, brushed past Liao Zhi's side, ran out of the kitchen, and went straight to his room.

Hearing Tao Ye slam the door shut, seven colors of embarrassment appeared on Lu Yi's usually decent and calm face.

"Go and sit in the living room." Lu Yi bent down to pick up the scattered seasoning bottles, hoping to use this action to cover up his ugly face.

Although Liao Zhi's ability to empathize is strong, his ability to observe words and emotions is often disconnected.He nodded thoughtfully, and walked towards the living room, talking to himself while walking:

"What game are you playing?"

Lu Yi's hand picking up the bottle froze in the air. He raised his head to look at Liao Zhi's back, and asked vigilantly:

"What did you hear?"

Sitting down on the sofa, Liao Zhi thought for a long time before continuing:

"Didn't you say that you eat chicken, it's free... Recently there is a computer game that eats chicken."

Lu Yi's face turned from red to white. He put the bottles and jars he picked up heavily back in place, and warned Liao Zhi seriously:

"Liao Zhi, pornographic games are illegal in this country."

Lu Yi, who doesn't surf the Internet all the year round, doesn't know that the game of eating chicken is an ordinary game of survival competition.Liao Zhi looked at Lu Yi in bewilderment, and sighed in shock:

"Old Lu, I thought you were not such a womanizer."

Tao Ye, who was hiding in the room, listened to the cross-server chat of the two outside through the door, and his whole body was already hovering on the verge of splitting.

He took a deep breath, carefully tucked the shirt in the sweater into the waistband of his trousers, opened the door and went out.

"Hi." Ignoring Lu Yi, Tao Ye greeted Liao Zhi expressionlessly.

Liao Zhi glanced at Tao Ye approvingly, nodded to Tao Ye, then turned to Lu Yi and said:

"Be calm when things happen, don't panic. Look at Xiaoye, he has lived thousands of years less than you, but he is more calm than you!"

Lu Yi felt a lot of golden stars appearing in front of his eyes, and while the golden stars were spinning around, he turned and went back to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and prepared to pour tea for Liao Zhi.

In his short life, Tao Ye has always adhered to such a creed:

As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. -Grape of Earth Phoenix-

So far, it seems that the effect of this creed is indeed good.He wasn't embarrassed at all, it was Lu Yi who was embarrassed.

This beautiful fantasy of self-deception did not last long, and Liao Zhi woke Tao Ye up with one sentence:

"Did Lao Lu eat your chicken?"

If people could be turned into stones, Tao Ye might have turned into a marble statue right now.

"What... what?" Tao Ye opened his mouth, and looked at the gossip-looking Liao Zhi blankly.

"Aren't you guys playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?" Liao Zhi scratched his head, not understanding why Tao Ye was so nervous, "I thought you stole Lao Lu's head, so Lao Lu punished you by biting your mouth."

Tao Ye: Help, who will save the child!

Lu Yi: What?Can porn games still steal heads?

The awkward atmosphere finally ended with a stack of documents brought by Liao Zhi.

Liao Zhi put the documents on the coffee table, took a sip of the black tea Lu Yi made, and said slowly:

"Things are almost done."

Lu Yi picked up the document, glanced at it and handed it to Tao Ye.

There are a total of five documents, all of which have been stamped with the seal of the General Administration of Ghost Realm.Tao Ye flipped through it casually, and found that there were four personnel transfer announcements, plus one punishment announcement.

These four documents respectively stated that Dan was transferred to the ghost world to be a street administrator; Xiaobai, as a special animal soul, could stay in the ghost world for a long time, but he needed to guard the ghost world library.

Brother and sister Cheng Qiangjun were formally appointed as members of the Human World Office of S City.

These documents clearly stated that because the Human World Office of S City captured Dan brilliantly, did not cause any major losses, and obtained information about the Dark Gate, it listened to the request of the members of the Human World Office of S City and made a decision. above personnel appointments.

Underneath the personnel appointment document, there was a light gray punishment sheet, which read impressively:

[Lu Yi, director of the Human World Office in S City, violated the regulations on the management of animal souls in the ghost world, and repaired dogs in violation of the regulations, and was fined 1 RMB.Since Lu Yi is the soul of the God Realm, he violated the regulations of the Ghost Realm Management Office many times and failed to lead by example. He was punished with an additional [-] hours of volunteer service in the Ghost Realm. 】

Tao Ye's hand holding the document trembled slightly. He looked up at Lu Yi, and found that Lu Yi was smiling, looking at him firmly and gently.

It turned out that Lu Yi's actions did not require Tao Ye to bribe him by making glutinous rice chicken.Even if Tao Ye doesn't do anything, Lu Yi will make everything Tao Ye wants one by one, wrap it in exquisite packaging, and send it to Tao Ye.

Suddenly, a sense of unreality covered Tao Ye's heart.

Liao Zhi nestled on the sofa, looking at the two people looking at each other, breaking the delicate atmosphere:

"Don't you have to thank me for this?"

Lu Yi withdrew his gaze from Tao Ye, and said to Liao Zhi: "You have worked hard these days, please eat."

Tao Ye pursed his lips, looked at Liao Zhi who was limply slumped on the sofa, and instantly felt that Liao Zhi was slightly similar to himself.

But Tao Ye couldn't tell what he looked like.

Liao Zhi waved his hand and rejected Lu Yi: "Farewell, I invite you to dinner every time. I, a restaurant owner, still want you to invite me?"

Lu Yi smiled and asked, "What's your plan next?"

After thinking for a while, Liao Zhi shifted his gaze to Tao Ye, and said, "I am a warm-hearted person after all. In order to help you two, I spent the whole night with the old man from the Ghost Realm Management Office."

Feeling a little uncomfortable being watched by Liao Zhi, Tao Ye raised his hand and scratched his forehead with his index finger, and said to Liao Zhi very unnaturally, "Thank you for your hard work."

"So I decided to be a good person to the end and untie Xiao Ye's knot." Liao Zhi said with a smile.

"Heart knot?" Although Tao Ye had a heart knot with Liao Zhi, he still didn't want to admit it.

Liao Zhi pretended to see through everything, and teased Tao Ye:

"Wow, you really don't think I can't see it, do you? You've been jealous of me!"

Tao Ye, who had seen through his mind, still wanted to speak hard, and said with a stiff neck, "Whoever is jealous is a dog."

"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble." Liao Zhi smiled happily, and continued, "Isn't Lao Lu punished for [-] hours of volunteer work? I found him a good place, and you can come with him when the time comes. "

Is this a solution to the knot?Tao Ye was thinking sullenly, why did he feel that the knot in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.

"At that time, you will understand the relationship between me and Lao Lu. Anyway, it is definitely not what you think." Liao Zhi took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and got up from the sofa.

"Okay, I'll go first."

After that, he put on his coat and left.

……

On the second day, Tao Ye got up early in the morning, took the appointment document from the Ghost Realm Management Office, and went to the human world with Lu Yi to do it.

Dan and Xiaobai immediately went to the ghost world, while Cheng Qiangjun and his sister wanted to stay in the human world for a few more days.Tao Ye was not very relieved to let their two souls without the power of law wander in the world, so he stayed by their side.

After becoming members of the Office of the Human World, Cheng Qiangjun and his sister will no longer be able to use their original bodies, and their social identities will gradually be forgotten.Before going to the ghost world, Cheng Qiangjun proposed that he wanted to go home and have a look.

Tao Ye naturally tried his best to meet this small request. After lunch, he and Cheng Qiangjun brother and sister were going to leave the noodle shop and go to Cheng Qiangjun's house.

Before leaving, Tao Ye was worried about the choice of transportation.Public transportation is naturally impossible, and online car-hailing seems inconvenient.

The Cheng Qiangjun brothers and sisters are already soul bodies, and ordinary humans cannot see them.Thinking that the driver might watch Tao Ye talk into the air, Tao Ye felt a little outrageous.

When Tao Ye was resting his head and was about to book a van on the moving software, Lu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Go with my car."

Tao Ye subconsciously refused: "That won't work, I don't have a driver's license."

Firstly, Tao Ye didn't have a driver's license, and secondly, Tao Ye felt that Lu Yi's car was too expensive, and if he got bumped along the way, he had no money to pay Lu Yi to repair the car.

"Old Xu Youben, let him drive you off." Lu Yi put his hand on Tao Ye's shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

Tao Ye raised his head from the screen of the mobile phone, and originally wanted to continue to refuse, but thinking of Yi Luyi's character, he might be the driver himself if he was rejected again, and take the three of them to their destination, so he compromised:

"Ok."

Old Xu told the back kitchen what happened in the store, and went out with the three of them.

The car was driving on the road in City S, and the streets on both sides had already set up the scene of the Lantern Festival, and the red, green and green were very festive.

Under the warm afternoon sun, those lanterns made into various shapes glowed with white luster, flashing from both sides of the car windows.

Along the way, Cheng Qiangjun didn't say much.And Cheng Lijun leaned against the glass window with his side face, quietly looking at the flowing city outside the window.

Tao Ye knew that the two of them felt uncomfortable, but he was not very good at comforting others, so he kept silent all the way.

After arriving at the destination, Lao Xu stayed in the car, while Tao Ye accompanied the siblings upstairs.

Cheng Qiangjun's family lives in an old-fashioned community.

This community was built in the 80s of last century and was once a family courtyard of an enterprise.The Lantern Festival is approaching, and red lanterns are hung on the balconies of every household. Looking in through the glass windows, it looks like goldfish swimming in a tank.

The three entered the unit door and climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor.Standing in front of the Cheng family's iron security door, Tao Ye suddenly thought of——

They don't have keys.

The bodies of the Cheng Qiangjun brothers and sisters have been confiscated by the police, and now their souls and bodies do not carry any human objects.

Tao Ye raised his head to look at the anti-theft door painted dark green. There were no new Spring Festival couplets pasted on both sides of the door. The ones pasted last year had been blown to pieces by the wind, and the faded edges were flipped randomly by the wind.

Cheng Qiangjun remained silent, moved away a jar of sauerkraut placed by the door, and skillfully took out a key from the gap in the bricks under the jar.

Cheng Qiangjun inserted the key into the door lock, twisted it twice, and opened the door.

"The door lock is tight, it's time to refuel." He muttered to himself, and stretched his hand towards the wooden door inside the security door.

After the wooden door opened, a warm breath rushed over.Tao Ye watched the brother and sister enter the door and stood there without moving.

"Come in and sit down?" Cheng Qiangjun looked back at Tao Ye.

Tao Ye shook his head and rejected Cheng Qiangjun's invitation: "No, this is your time, I'll wait for you outside."

Standing outside the door, Tao Ye quietly watched the brother and sister change their shoes at the entrance, and entered the house one after the other.

The lights were not turned on in the room, and on a winter afternoon, the living room, which did not face south, was not well lit.Tao Ye stood in the corridor, breathing in the dry air in the corridor mixed with the smell of dust.
