Pulling back the heavy curtains, red light shines into the room, stretching and moving his limbs, Yuqi started the first day of life in the underworld.

She had already planned today's itinerary last night, and went out with the key and the ghost mirror after a simple wash.

Following the plan made last night, first go to the Underworld Journal on the first floor of the underworld to see what happened recently. Although she may not be able to understand it, her main purpose is to learn more about the underworld and see if there is anything there. A part-time job that I can do.

As soon as I came out of Snail House Stone, I saw a long queue in front of the material store from a distance. It is really a shopping center for daily needs. I don’t know if there is a ghost jumping in the queue or what. There was a quarrel, and the ghosts all rushed forward in a swarm. The posture was comparable to going to the vegetable market early in the morning to grab vegetables.

Hey, there are quite a few ghosts falling down the stone steps like dumplings in the hustle and bustle.

Slowly approaching the edge of the stone steps, Yu Qi poked his head out and looked down. Except for a section of overlapping stone steps, he couldn't see what was at the bottom of the abyss.

But they are all ghosts who have died once, so if they fall down, nothing will happen, right?

There are too many ghosts queuing in front of the supplies office. Seeing that they have been lined up from the platform originally assigned to the supplies office to the stone steps for passage, several stone steps have been seriously blocked.

Difficultly passing through the crowd of ghosts queuing up to Huangquan Magazine, Yu Qi saw the familiar scene again.

The scene in front of Huangquan was similar to that of the Material Institute, and because the platform in front of Huangquan was smaller, the scene was even more chaotic than that of the Material Institute.

"What are you squeezing!"

"Who stepped on my tail? Who! If you dare to do it..."

"Give way, let's go! I'm going out! I have to deliver the newspaper!"

"Brother, let me, this is the last report, I just take it and..."

"Who robbed me of Huangquan Magazine! What is it, if you have the ability, go get it yourself, if you rob me..."

……

In the ghost mountain and ghost sea, Yu Qi saw a familiar face with sharp eyes.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A Cai cursed and struggled to move out, tightly covering a stack of papers in her arms with her small hands.

"Give me your hand." Yu Qi walked to the periphery of the ghost group and reached out to A Cai who was trapped inside and couldn't move.

Seeing that the other party was yesterday's client, Ah Cai hesitated for a second before decisively extending a hand to Yu Qi.

The two ghosts cooperated inside and outside, worked together and worked hard, and finally managed to leave the place where the ghosts crowded the ghosts.

Walking to the relatively empty stone steps, away from the underworld, the world seems a lot quieter.

"Thank you, sister. Sure enough, beautiful sisters are good ghosts." A Cai has always been very generous when it comes to kind words that don't require money.

Yu Qi couldn't help but think of the little girl Shuang Lang last night when she called her sister.

"...Then sister, I'll go first, let's see you later."

After regaining consciousness, Yu Qi grabbed A Cai and said, "Wait, I'll ask you something."

Hearing this, the smile on A Cai's face disappeared halfway, and she pretended to be very anxious perfunctorily: "Sister, I have to rush to deliver newspapers to customers, let's talk next time."

She knew that this little girl would not tell her the news for nothing. Fortunately, Yu Qi had already figured out a way just now: "What if I order a newspaper delivery service with you for a month?"

After hearing that there was money to be made, A Cai returned to her enthusiastic smile: "Then we can talk about one or two issues."

Yu Qi was not stupid, and began to haggle unceremoniously: "If you answer all three questions, I will order a one-month newspaper delivery."

"Sister, this is a small business, and I will not bargain."

Hearing this, Yu Qi looked regretfully at the group of ghosts in front of the Huangquan magazine: "I think there are quite a lot of ghosts doing the job of delivering newspapers. I originally wanted to take care of the business of acquaintances, since..."

For so many years in the underworld, A Cai has long learned to read people's eyes, thinking that the recent business is getting more and more difficult to do... Right now, she can only accept this business first: "What do you want to know, sister? "

"The underworld can be reincarnated, right? Do you know the specific process?" After thinking about it all night yesterday, reincarnation is the biggest connection Yu Qi can think of between himself and the underworld.

A Cai stretched out her hand, looked at Yu Qi and smiled without saying a word.

"..." Was this little girl a slot machine before she was alive?If you don't give money, you can't pry her mouth open.

Anyway, after crossing the sea of ​​ghosts twice and almost being crushed out of his wits, Yu Qi had already given up the idea of ​​picking up newspapers by himself, and had originally planned to order a newspaper delivery service.

After paying [-] merit points, A Cai also counted the money and said, "Hell, the most famous service is reincarnation. The specific process is also very simple. My sister will go to a ghost temple to get reincarnation." The approval document, and then you can go to reincarnation naturally when you are in the queue."

Yu Qi couldn't believe it: "It's that simple?"

"Yes." A Cai nodded affirmatively, "It's really that simple, you don't even need to pay a single merit point."

She always felt that something was not quite right: "If reincarnation is so simple, why are there so many ghosts in the underworld? Just judging from the number of ghosts I met at the gate of the material store in the morning and the number of ghosts here, it seems that it has far exceeded what Snail House Stone can do. The amount that can be accommodated."

A Cai glanced at Yu Qi appreciatively: "Sister is very smart."

"..." The little girl really kept her words hidden.

Without waiting for Yu Qi to urge her, A Cai opened her mouth: "Originally, hundreds of years ago, everyone was still very keen on reincarnation, but something suddenly happened about 100 years ago."

As she said that, A Cai deliberately lowered her voice and approached Yu Qi: "It is said that more than 100 years ago, a ghost disappeared when he was reincarnated."

"What do you mean missing?"

"Who knows, it's been more than 100 years and the Ghost King Palace hasn't found anything famous. Maybe it was eaten by some resentful spirit? Or maybe it was shattered by the hurricane in the reincarnation. Anyway, since then, The ghosts who go to reincarnate often disappear inexplicably, and until recently, I heard that there are six or seven out of ten, so in the past ten years or so, people have basically been afraid to reincarnate."

Yu Qi frowned: "Is this disappearing without even the spiritual consciousness?"

A Cai nodded: "Yes, I originally wanted to reincarnate to enjoy it, but once I want to gamble on the end of my soul, everyone dare not go."

Hunfeiposan also means complete death, complete disappearance, also known as soul extinction.

Yu Qi, who didn't plan to reincarnate yet, also pushed back the reincarnation. Who wants to die completely?She is not the kind of person who likes to gamble with her life, if she can live, she should live first.

"Sister, what do you want to ask?" A Cai took out the ghost mirror and looked at it, and it was about to delay her delivery time.

"Is there any harm to the ghosts staying in the underworld for a long time?" Originally, this was not an important question, but because Yu Qi just changed his plan, he might stay longer than the original plan, so it's time to find out the pros and cons at this moment appears to be particularly important.

This question made Ah Cai think for a few seconds: "Harm, well, there is no particularly serious harm. As long as you have merit points, you can even live better in the underworld than in the human world. In fact, it's all about living, living." Is there any difference between life and death? Just live a good life."

There is some truth to this.

A Cai looked at the ghost mirror again, and stopped hiding it: "There are also a few minor hazards. For example, if my sister accidentally plays herself to death, she is really dead, and there is no way to gather spiritual consciousness."

Just as Yu Qi was about to ask, A Cai interrupted her: "Oh, there are too many ways to lose your soul, sister, go to Qin Guangji's Mingshu Pavilion to check it yourself, what's the last question?"

Seeing that she was really in a hurry, Yu Qi didn't ask any more questions. Besides, this little girl always said that she kept half of it, and it was a matter of life and death. Maybe it would be safer to investigate this matter by herself.

"Besides the part-time job in Huangquan Magazine, is there any stable long-term job in the underworld?" Before the words finished, Yu Qi added, "Where can I find it?"

A Cai rolled her eyes: "I can't find a job to support myself, and my sister still wants me to introduce you to a job?"

"You are being humble, I think you can make money." Yu Qi replied with a half-smile.

A Cai sighed with a gloomy expression: "Actually, I don't earn much. Many ghost bosses in the underworld watch people order dishes. Many good jobs don't want me when they see that I am small, so I can only do it for you." Casual workers such as new ghosts leading the way and sending Huangquan magazines."

After finishing speaking, A Cai frowned and took another look at the ghost mirror, it was really too late!

"However, there are long-term jobs in the underworld, but the number of places is much less than that of part-time jobs, and the requirements are very high. If my sister wants to find one, you can go to Qin Guangji on the third floor of the underworld. It's just that the ghosts in the underworld are relatively xenophobic. If you can't find a job, it depends on your sister's ability." A Cai stopped going around in circles with her, and ran away after speaking quickly.

After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, Yu Qi didn't stop her.

But I don't know if the little girl A Cai suddenly realized her conscience, she turned around and shouted: "I think my sister is very smart, if you can't find a job in Qin Guangji, you can try to take the ghost job exam."

Ghostly bad?

Yu Qi recalled that although she only came to the underworld for only one day, she encountered quite a lot of ghost messengers, including warm-hearted black and white impermanence, and vicious tiger-headed ghost messengers. By the way, the little girl from Shuanglang seems to be the same. ghosts.

The ghost messenger should be a civil servant of the underworld, right?I feel that being a civil servant is quite stable.

But this kind of iron rice bowl should be difficult to get a job, right?Yu Qi hesitated to include the ghost test in the alternative plan for survival.

Looking back at Huangquan Magazine again, it still looked like he couldn't squeeze in, so Yu Qi had no choice but to leave here first and go to Qin Guangji to have a look.

Just after Yu Qi left, a ghost with a long tongue walked down the stone steps where they were talking just now, muttering something in his mouth.

"This job of delivering newspapers is too hard to grab, and even if I get it, a customer only gets ten merit points a month. I really envy Ah Cai, who has ghost bosses vying for her for every job..."
