All living beings in hell

Chapter 7 The Real Master of the Firm

In fact, I have already felt it since the first day I worked in the office... besides me, there has always been someone else in the office.This existence is closely connected with me, like a shadow accompanying me, standing behind me, quietly watching all this.

When I first had this feeling, I thought it was just because I was new to hell and my nerves were sensitive.But as the intuition has grown stronger lately, it has become more and more certain that there is always something following behind me.Today I decided to solve this matter, and while I was making this decision, a gust of wind blew from behind me in an instant.

I was still in the human world one second ago, and I am already in the office of the underworld this second.

"Writer, you finally saw me. I've been waiting for you for a long time." The female voice came from my right ear panting, with the rustling sound of a snake at the end, and my spine instantly stiffened.

"You didn't take the number and broke the rules. I should judge it as chasing customers."

"This is my territory, you can't chase me away." The female voice was getting closer and closer to my right ear, and my whole body went numb.

I raised the sapphire pen with my left hand, trying to throw the things behind me out of the door, but found that the sapphire pen didn't work, no matter how I played it, it was useless.

"I've said it before, writing, this is my place, you can't touch me."

"who are you?"

A pale woman's face was stretched out in front of me, her black and blue eyes had no whites, and her red lips seemed to have just tasted human blood.Her neck was so long that it stretched out in front of me, and I didn't see her body.

"My lord, I am your last writer." The woman said leisurely, and a stench sprayed on my face.

"What should I call you?"

"Don't give me this routine, I can't understand the routine of writing."

The woman slowly crawled out from behind me and lay on my wooden table.Only then did I see her whole picture clearly—the long neck was even longer than the body, there were six long legs on the naked body, and two arms hanging in the air on the back, it looked like several people The stumps and broken arms were forcibly assembled into this appearance.

"Since you have resigned, why are you still here?"

"Who said I have resigned? Writing is also my job, but I don't write for the world."

"Then who are you writing for?"

"For the sky, for the earth, for all living beings, but not for humans."

"So we're colleagues?"

The woman covered her face and smiled, and a hand came from behind to cover her mouth, her appearance was extremely distorted: "Colleague? You took my place, my lord."

"Since we each perform our duties and are masters, how can I steal your position?"

"I have been writing for more than 3000 years, but I have never seen so many lonely ghosts scrambling to chat with a mortal. When I was here, the surroundings were terribly deserted, so lonely, I had to go out and catch some passing The brats, force them to tell stories and write them down, so as to give an explanation to the heavens and the earth."

"Why does heaven and earth need to record ghost stories?"

"What is written down is a part of the world, it is a record, and it is also a part of the energy operation."

"Why do you have to record it? Some things will be forgotten if you don't mention them. It doesn't matter. The past is the past."

The woman looked a little unhappy: "As the writer, you underestimate my work! What do you mean by the past? How can the things that have happened just pass away?"

"So we share an office?"

"It's not sharing, it's you who robbed my office and my clients."

"Okay, the firm is yours. The client has already taken my number, so there is nothing I can do. Why don't you try the number-taking system? It's very useful." After I finished speaking, I put down my pen and was ready to return The world is gone.

The woman froze for a moment, and pressed a long leg on my shoulder. I sat down again, and a chill came from my left shoulder: "Wait, is this the end?"

"I didn't know in advance that there was an owner here. It was my fault. Since the sapphire pen can't stand you, I think you are not lying. The underworld is so big, it is not difficult to find another place to set up an office, and it is even simple. It is much easier than buying a house in the world. Anyway, I will finish the remaining 156 customers outside the door anyway. I will do it after taking my number. One is not too many, and one is not too many. Where Are you writing or not? That’s it, goodbye.”

I put the golden talisman on the left wall into my long sleeve, and put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, the lotus lamp, and the immortal business card in the drawer.All the books that belonged to me on the bookshelf were also thrown into the rucksack, looking like a big move.

The woman stared blankly at me taking care of all this: "You really want to leave?"

"I don't want to force others to make things difficult. Since it is your place, I was ignorant of this matter beforehand. It is my fault. I apologize to you here. I am also a writer. Writing is a tiring thing. I just write for the world. After a few days, I’m already so tired. You have to write for the world. I don’t understand what kind of text it is. I don’t understand what kind of story it is. Since I can’t help you, it’s taking up your property , then I shall find another place.”

I put my rucksack on my shoulders, and was about to kick open the door of the office and strode out, when the woman behind me said, "My lord, I lied to you. I'm not an official, I just want to ask my lord for help." .”

"The acting sucks."

"...is it really that bad?"

"The kind that can't even pass the first round of interviews."

The woman hesitated for a moment, and almost squeezed out the words between her teeth: "You're gone, it's going to be cold here again."

I turned around and looked at the woman in front of the table. At this time, she had turned into a human form. The extra legs had been received somewhere, and her arms had returned to their normal positions.At first glance, she really looks like an ordinary woman in the world, and there is even a hint of tenderness in her expression.

I looked at her seriously, put down my luggage, and walked back.There was a gleam of light in the woman's eyes.I patted her on the shoulder: "It's really hard work for you, colleague, the next person must work hard!"

The woman froze in place, I turned around and strode out of the office with my luggage on my back.

Outside the office, lonely souls and wild ghosts were still waiting in line to be applauded. When they saw that I tore off the "Three Rules" notice from the door, they all surrounded me.

"Oh, my lord, this rule will become invalid as soon as it is established?" A female ghost with disheveled hair floated over, and the voice passed behind my head.

I put the notice in my backpack and shouted to everyone in line: "Everyone! From today onwards, the office will be moving! I will go to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to do real estate formalities first! Please be safe everyone, I am very happy." There will be a notification of the new office address soon!"

All of a sudden, the group of ghosts was talking about it, and the voices became more and more noisy.

I decided to go to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to have a look.
