Chapter 34: My Boss Was A Ghost Lady (2)

[Shadow (awaken)] Even his title was imprinted on the ground. Although I couldn’t see his name, his title really was ‘shadow’. I never realized I could even see a shadow’s title… Right now, this shadow was standing sideways while waving his hand to me like a fortune cat.

Actually, this shadow looked a bit weird. It was made up of a large and a small mass of shadow. He didn’t even have the five senses of organs, like a man who was wearing a cloak and a hood.

“Why does Mr. Shadow look like this?” I didn’t even question the rationality of the existence of an independent shadow. It seemed that I had already got used to the unusual things.

I could only say, custom was a scary thing… “I heard that he has separated from his body for too long that he already forgot about what he looks like.”

“What the hell!” I had to complain about this. How could a shadow forget about his own appearance?

“What’s the fuss? If you don’t look into the mirror for a long time, you will also forget about what you look like. But he is not able to look into the mirror as a shadow, so it’s reasonable for him to forget about his own look.” Eddie explained for the shadow. Mr. Shadow nodded in agreement and then shrugged his shoulders… Although I totally couldn’t tell which parts of him were his shoulders.

This place was full of strange people… Wait, I couldn’t even call them humans… So, what kind of a person my chief was?

“So, the chief of our Sixth Office is…”

“Ehh Ahhhhhhhhhhh…” Before Li Nai finished her words, we heard a harsh cry. Meantime, a quirky BGM also started to sound from nowhere, which helped heighten the scary atmosphere.

All of us looked at the place which the sound came from… Eddie’s computer.

Among the three screens, the middle one suddenly turned grainy while making a buzzing noise like the broken-down old television… After that, there was an image showing on that screen. We saw a familiar well. Then, a woman in white climbed out of the well, then out of Eddie’s screen.

“…” X7. None of the five of us, the robot as well as the shadow screamed and escaped. We only looked at the person who had climbed out of the screen like ‘Sadako’.

And I already knew the background of this person…

[Earthbound Spirit][Qiu He]

The one who had spoken first was Eddie. With his eyebrows knitted, he looked at the white lady who was crawling over here with her body twisted and said,

“I mean, Miss Qiu Zi, can you stop using my screen to play old stuffs like this? My screens are all very expensive.”

“Well, little Eddie, don’t be so mean…” After the long hair woman saw that she didn’t frighten anyone, she lost her interest of going on. Then she took out a hairpin to tie up her hair which had hanged down loosely. I finally saw her face.

She was a pretty oriental woman with a high forehead and two squinted eyes.

As she came over to Yu Hui and me, she opened her arms and said smilingly,

“Welcome to the Sixth Office. I’m your chief here. Please call me Miss Qiu Zi. As you can see, I am a ghost. Technically speaking, I am an Earthbound Spirit who can not leave this building.” Earthbound Spirit?

After she had introduced herself, she then said to me,

“Little Boy An, if you have already seen my real name, please don’t say it out loud.” I agreed to her by nodding.

In fact, even if she hadn’t asked me to do that, I wouldn’t speak out her name… Since she was inclined to conceal her name, I wouldn’t be a senseless person to reveal her on the spot.

“I already knew about the things with you. It’s so rare that we could have three new members in our office.”

“Wait, three? Who else?” Buzz-buzz-, my phone rang all of a sudden.

Who would call me at this moment… I checked on my phone… Then I hanged up the phone right away.

Alright, I knew who was the other new member.

Pretty sure it was Lan Hua.

What was the matter with this girl? Wasn’t the coverage of her information networks a bit too large?… By the way, I had thought that there had been no signal in the Black Street… Oh, no, I had called Lian Bing in Xue Qing’s house. So the no-signal condition only had existed when this place had been closed.

So, Lan Hua knew all the thing that had happened until now.

Qiu Zi flew to the other side and then sat on the table leisurely. After she had conjured a cup of tea, she took a sip and said,

“The ones who have joined our sixth office all have ‘the things they want to get back’ or ‘the things they seek for’. For example, Mr. Shadow wants to get his body back. Little Phil needs to finish his intern by chasing an important criminal of the heaven’s world. The others are the same too… they all have their own purposes. So, Little Boy An… An Juncheng, what do you want to get back, or say, what do you seek for?” The things I wanted to get back and the things I sought for… I had already decided what these things were.

“I want to get my normal life back. And I want to seek for…” To tell the truth, I didn’t have so many desires before. My mom already said that I was like an old man. I also found myself very suitable to be a monk.

“I seek for…” I couldn’t think of anything. And I also couldn’t answer that kind of question randomly.

“Haha, you don’t have to force yourself to answer that… Since you don’t have any responses, you can team up with Nai Nai first.”

“What? Me? With little transparent guy? Ho ho, that will be so interesting~”

“Wait! Why couldn’t it be me! Please let Master Jun Cheng and I…” Yu Hui protested instantly. Under no circumstances was she willing to separate with me.

“Take it easy, Sister Yu, listen to me…” Qiu Zi didn’t say anything but only put a smile on her face.

After the silence lasted for a dozens of seconds, Yu Hui suddenly drooped her head and said, “I see.” They must have had a conversation using the telepath or something else. What surprised me a lot was that Miss Qiu Zi was able to persuade the short tempered girl Yu Hui. I truly was impressed.

“Fine, I happened to have a task for you. Listen carefully, Little Boy An and Nai Nai.” Little did I know that I would be assigned a task after I had just joined the organization… Alas, forget about it.Everything had its first time. I guessed the task wouldn’t be so difficult.

“I need you two to investigate the ‘Corpse Disappearing’ incident which is happening very frequently these days.” Just like that, I received my first task after I had joined the organization.
