I run a bank in Tokyo

Chapter 9 Makoto Ueki

"It turns out that people really turn into ghosts after they die..."

In Nishi Shinjuku, Tokyo Medical University Hospital, Makoto Ueki finally realized his situation after the initial confusion.

As a migrant worker who came to Tokyo alone in his teens, he had neither a high education nor any special skills, so he could only rely on hard work.

I worked as a waiter in a hotel and a part-time job in a convenience store. Later, I accidentally entered the comics industry. I started as an assistant to some unknown cartoonists, and then gradually showed my prominence. I wanted to try to be a cartoonist myself, but the result was nothing. Unexpected failure.

He has no special talent in this field, and he is able to show his prominence only by relying on his hard work and hard work.However, he did not have the talent and inspiration needed by cartoonists. After being mercilessly attacked and ridiculed many times, he completely extinguished his heart and returned to the assistant industry.

I work two jobs, one during the day and one at night, and I also do some part-time gunmen, piracy and other jobs, and sell them overseas.

It's all about money.

Living in Tokyo, the monthly expenditure is basically more than 20 yen. If he follows his previous method, he can barely survive.

In order to live better, he can only choose to work harder.

It is normal to sleep for 3-4 hours a day, and I have to keep turning around at every turn, and there are no holidays all year round.

Eventually he died from overwork.

Only 37 years old.

I just didn’t expect that after death, people would actually turn into ghosts!

After staring at his body, no, it should be said to be the body now, for a while, the excitement, panic, resentment and other emotions at the beginning gradually subsided, and began to turn into curiosity, and even a hint of surprise.

Floating in the air, flying around, passing through walls for a while, touching the nurse in vain for a while...becoming a ghost, becoming bolder, or breaking free from the shackles of reason.

In the past, no, when I was alive, I lived an inhuman life, but now I am relaxed and comfortable when I am dead.

The playful Makoto Ueki floated out of the ward and saw a nurse walking quickly in the corridor. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but he immediately thought that he was already a ghost, so he stopped and refused to dodge. .

The nurse couldn't see him and walked straight through.

"Hiss—" the little nurse shivered.

"Ah!" Makoto Ueki roared in a voice that the nurse couldn't hear.

It felt like I was burned by the flame of a candle!
The pain is not very strong, but Ueki Makoto feels that his body seems to have become weaker, just like the feeling after staying up all night before.

After being startled, I no longer dared to play "piercing people", and avoided people when I saw them.

However, he didn't realize until halfway through the journey that he was already a ghost, so why did he take the elevator down the stairs honestly?
Can't you just go out through the wall directly!

It feels good to be floating in the air.

The cool moonlight shining on my body feels very refreshing.

The pitch-dark night gave him a sense of comfort like a fish in water, and the previously weakened part seemed to be replenished.

I wanted to enjoy the sense of accomplishment of flying in the air, but found that I was like a fledgling that never came out of the nest, and didn't know how to fly at all.

After stumbling and twisting to the ground, it floated in a certain direction.

As early as when he had just turned into a ghost, he had noticed a strange fluctuation attracting him, but he hadn't woken up yet.After leaving the hospital, this fluctuation became more intense, so strong that his thoughts of going to Kabukicho were suppressed.

Although we couldn’t take a taxi, we didn’t have to take a detour, so it didn’t take too long and we finally reached our destination.

Residential area among high-rise buildings.

Unlike the hustle and bustle near Shinjuku Station, this place is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. Even if it cannot be said to be an ideal residence, it still makes Ueki envious.

The origin of the fluctuations that seduced him was a two-story house with an "underground bank" sign hanging on the first floor.

Are all those who open underground banks so arrogant now?

How big of a background is this?

You know this is near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Hall!

However, what does it have to do with myself?
He is already a ghost, and the wealth and background of human beings are just flowers in the mirror and moon in the water to him.

Thinking like this, he floated in directly.

Huh?
As soon as he entered the house, he felt his body sink, and he couldn't help falling to the ground.

Reached out and touched his body, entity!
Have you turned back into a human again?
Ueki Makoto's mood couldn't be said to be one of surprise or panic. Perhaps he was more shocked. He didn't expect this situation to happen at all.

It quickly turned into a series of questions.

Where is this place?
Why did I come here?
What does turning yourself into a ghost have to do with this place?
No matter how big his heart is, he can guess that this place is definitely not an ordinary underground bank.

He didn't leave in a hurry when his master didn't come out, but was ready to investigate out of curiosity.

The empty hall only has some counters and shelves, like a store that has just cleared out its goods and prepared them for sale.

The system was so busy that Jin Seijuro didn't have time to decorate.

After walking around, I didn't get any useful information. Now there is only the stairs leading to the second floor.

Do you want to go up?
Just as Ueki was hesitating, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone came down from the second floor.

Ueki gritted his teeth and didn't dodge.

Anyway, I have already died once, so what are you afraid of!
The two sides met and looked at each other.

What appeared in front of Ueki Makoto was a tall, thin young man with a pale face and a haggard expression, as if he had just experienced a major blow.

What Jin Qingjuro saw was a very ordinary RB man, not tall, with clear facial contours, protruding eyebrows, sunken nose, thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly thick lips, and well-developed jawbones, but the most obvious There are still heavy bags under the eyes, one or two!

Instantly knew that this was not a living person.

"Excuse me, where is this place?" Seeing that the other party was just an ordinary young man of about 20 years old, Ueki Makoto suddenly regained his courage and asked first.

"Underground bank, isn't there a signboard hanging at the door?" After Jin Qingjuro replied lightly, he explained: "The main business is loans, deposits, pawns and other businesses." While talking, he walked down the stairs and stood in front of the other party Not far away, he looked at the other party with a look of looking at the goods.

The first client, the first ghost I saw in two lifetimes combined, was unavoidably novel.

Tachibana Naoto's soul and lifespan were transformed into a strange substance by his fruit ability, and there was no chance of becoming a ghost.

Makoto Ueki didn't like his gaze, but it was weird here, and he didn't dare to get mad, so he just asked perfunctorily, "Can you explain in detail?"

"It's very simple, you can take out loans, deposits, or pawn items here." Shin Seijuro said, "However, you can also use the money I have here, and you can even use it in the world."

Ueki Makoto's expression suddenly changed.

He knows his identity!
