There is nothing to pack—even the weakest ghost in the underworld can transform into clothes, but the clothes that ghosts with higher abilities and levels are more gorgeous and complicated.Song Lan wears suits and leather shoes all year round. With his current strength, it is not difficult to transform into a suit.Compared with being a mortal in the past, it is much more convenient and trouble-free

To save the burden of clothes, Song Lan carried a bag of ghosts containing his ghosts, a large umbrella with black background and silver patterns, and the map provided to him by the underworld, and soon came to the South China Sea Provincial Bank city.

Standing in the city center of Xingzhou City, surrounded by crowds, and the noise of the streets, Song Lan was in a daze for a moment: After more than a year, he finally returned to the human world.The human world is still so prosperous, but he no longer belongs to this world.

But Song Lan is not a ghost who is easy to hurt the spring and autumn. He didn't feel sad for too long. He quickly cleared up his mood and continued to look down at the map.

Xingzhou urban area can be roughly divided into new urban area and old urban area. The old urban area was the political and economic center in the past. However, with the continuous development and expansion of the city in recent years, the old urban area has gradually declined, while the new urban area with complete infrastructure has become new city center.This "Friendship Bookstore" is located on an old street in the old city, surrounded by old-fashioned residential areas. The bookstore is sandwiched between an unnamed snack shop and a hardware store.

Near noon, the scorching sun shines on the world, coating everything with a layer of gold, warm and bright.However, for ghosts, this is not a comfortable thing.Fortunately, she was carrying a special black umbrella that could block the sun, otherwise Song Lan would not be sure that she would be able to walk under the sun for so long.

Song Lan looked at the bookstore signboard with a thick layer of old gray above his head, and his eyebrows frowned unconsciously: If it wasn't for the right number plate, even if he passed by the door, he might not be able to see it. This is a bookstore.

"Is anyone there?" The bookstore didn't have a door, Song Lan raised her leg and stepped in, glanced at the scene inside the store, and frowned even more.

Is this store really still open?This was Song Lan's first thought.

The area of ​​the bookstore is slightly larger than Song Lan imagined, about 30 to [-] square meters, but because the bookshelves are all crowded together, the visual effect is too crowded, giving people a cramped feeling.

I casually glanced at the bookshelf, and it seemed that the books on it hadn't been updated for a long time, not to mention a lot of dust, and the cover design also belonged to the style of a long time ago.

The light in the store was dim, and it was hard for Song Lan to see a man lying behind the counter at the back of the bookstore.

The man was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, and his body swayed with the chair, as if he had fallen asleep.

Song Lan thought to herself, this is probably the goal of her mission "Xie Daonian".

When Song Lan approached, he realized that Boss Xie was not asleep, but seemed to be listening to something with his earphones plugged in.The earphones leaked a bit, and Song Lan's hearing was good, so she vaguely heard sentences such as "soak in cold water for 24 hours" and "sow the seeds at a distance of 20 cm".

Song Lan: Meow meow?

"Ahem!" Song Lan coughed twice, reminding the other party of her arrival.

Xie Daonian didn't respond.

"..." Song Lan's face was a little ugly, she stretched out her fingers and tapped on the counter.

Xie Daonian still didn't respond.

The veins on Song Lan's forehead twitched, and he pulled out a thick book from the nearby bookshelf very simply, and slapped it on the counter with a "snap".

Xie Daonian finally noticed something, and opened his eyes a little.

"Oh, let's buy a book." Xie Daonian didn't even look at Song Lan, but lazily flipped through the book, checked the price on the back cover, and said casually, ""XX Dictionary", 18.88 yuan."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again, waved and ignored people.

Song Lan glanced at the dictionary that was printed out many years ago in silence—there are still books priced in "points", which is really nostalgic.

"I don't want to buy books," Song Lan looked at Xie Daonian expressionlessly, and deliberately raised the volume, "I'm looking for you."

Only then did Xie Daonian give Song Lan a serious look: "Looking for me?" His voice was deep and magnetic, but it was very pleasant.

Song Lan's complexion softened a little. He had a little bit of voice control before he was alive. This habit is no exception after he became a ghost. He nodded: "My name is Song Lan."

"Hello," a look of surprise flashed in Xie Daonian's eyes, but he soon returned to normal, stretching out a long white hand, "My name is Xie, Xie Daonian."

Song Lan also stretched out her hand, and when her two hands touched, Song Lan shrank back like an electric shock.

"It's okay." Facing Xie Daonian's puzzled eyes, Song Lan reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, but she was muttering in her heart——

Why is this man's hand so hot?Isn't he a negative constitution?

According to the usual practice, these human beings assisted by ghost emissaries are more or less related to the underworld, for example, those with Yin constitution are prone to encounter ghosts.The reason why the underworld launched this poverty alleviation activity is also to make up for this special group of people-after all, it is quite miserable to always bump into ghosts when there is nothing to do.

Generally speaking, a person with a heavy yin qi is cold, and his body temperature is much lower than that of ordinary people. His hands and feet are always cold, and his whole person looks cool.This Xie Daonian was different, the temperature of the palm of his hand was a bit higher than that of ordinary people, just now when Song Lan shook hands with him, he almost didn't get burned.

——Anyway, Song Lan is also a ghost. Although ghost messengers can walk around the human world as a body and are not afraid of the sun, Song Lan is only a junior ghost messenger after all, and his resistance to yang energy is not as strong as those advanced ghost messengers. powerful.After walking in the sun for a long time just now, he felt a little uncomfortable, and his face became paler.

"... Mr. Song, Mr. Song?" Song Lan was immersed in her own thoughts, and it took a long time to realize that Xie Daonian was calling him.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now," Song Lan twitched the corner of her mouth, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you are the owner of this bookstore, right?"

Xie Daonian nodded.

"What I'm going to say next may make you think I'm crazy, but please don't interrupt, please listen to me before making a decision..." Song Lan doesn't like to dawdle, and directly enters the topic directly, combining her own intentions with The purpose was briefly explained to Xie Daonian, and at the end he added, "This is roughly the case. Boss Xie can choose not to believe me if he thinks I'm a liar, but I must explain one thing. The opportunity is rare. If Boss Xie misses it, he may regret it." lifetime."

After saying that, Song Lan didn't even look at Xie Daonian, she just walked to the side of the bookshelf, picked out a book and quickly flipped through it.

In fact, Song Lan didn't mention how flustered she was, she just pretended to hide her anxiety.This is his habit, and he never wants to be seen as weak in his heart.

After a long while, she didn't hear the answer from Xie Daonian. Song Lan covered her face with a book and glanced in the direction of the counter, her expression froze instantly——

At some point, Xie Daonian put on the earphones again, shook them and went to listen.

Meow meow meow?This seems to be different from the result I imagined, right? ? ?

Before coming here, Song Lan made a lot of predictions. He was ready to accept all kinds of cynicism and sorted out a set of rhetoric. come out.As a result, Xie Daonian's reaction was far beyond expectations. He seemed to be fine and went away on his own.

Song Lan began to wonder if he didn't speak clearly just now, or if Xie Daonian didn't hear clearly, otherwise, how could he be so calm?

Before coming to the human world, Song Lan participated in the pre-job training. The teacher who trained them at that time can be said. At the beginning, human beings may not believe the words of the ghost messengers. You can also come up with a little evidence to prove your identity, such as spraying will-o'-the-wisps on the spot and performing a one-second change of clothes. In short, you must convince the person you help to believe that your words are true, so that the work can be carried out better.

"Then what..." Song Lan licked her lips and said with difficulty, "Boss Xie, can you understand what I just said?"

"Pour water with a watering can..." came the voice from the earphones.

"..." The corner of Song Lan's mouth twitched, suddenly feeling aggrieved as a kindergarten child being ignored by the teacher.Immediately, anger rose from his heart to evil, and he tore off Xie Daonian's earphones.

"What?" Xie Daonian blinked at Song Lan, his expression as innocent as possible.

"... Forget it." After angrily staring at Xie Daonian for three seconds, Song Lan realized that Xie Daonian might not have understood that he was expressing dissatisfaction. , can you understand?"

Xie Daonian blinked again: "Understood."

It didn't look like he was lying, Song Lan frowned, and said persuasively, "Then what do you mean—"

Xie Daonian: "What do I mean?"

Song Lan only felt a dull pain in her temples, suppressed her anger, and said with a smirk, "Then are you willing to accept my help?"

Xie Daonian: "I don't care." When he said this, his eyes couldn't help looking at the earphones that were still in Song Lan's hand.

Um?Song Lan felt that either Xie Daonian was too ambitious, or that he didn't understand what he meant, so he repeated his purpose, and finally asked: "If you want, I have a contract here that needs your signature."

Speaking, Song Lan pushed a contract to Xie Daonian, and added: "The specific issues have been explained in the contract. You can sign here if you see no problem."

Xie Daonian was thoughtful and asked, "You want me to sign it?"

Song Lan put on a very formulaic smile: "Of course, if you can sign, it will be a win-win thing for you and me. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

"Since you want me to sign, then sign it." Xie Daonian picked up the pen and signed his name on the signature.The words are well written, and the atmosphere is chic.

Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the contract, but felt a little strange, and asked casually, "Boss Xie, did you know that I would come to you?" Otherwise, why wasn't he surprised at all?

Xie Daonian shook his head: "I don't know."

Song Lan was stunned: "Then why did you sign the contract without looking at it?" Could it be that he met a fool?Isn't he afraid of being cheated and sold by himself?

Xie Daonian's well-shaped eyes with slightly upturned corners were very clear. He looked at Song Lan innocently, spread his hands and said, "Isn't this what you want me to sign the contract?" What else is there to dissatisfy?

"..." Song Lan felt that he probably really met a fool.

Forget it, the contract is signed anyway, and the contract is legally binding. If Xie Daoyear later wants to go back on his word, this is the most critical and difficult thing, and Song Lan has done it.

As for whether the boss is a fool or not, with Song Lan, an outstanding business graduate from a world-renowned university, there is nothing to worry about.
