Soul Master Manual

Chapter 45 Yeah, It's Wrong (ask for a monthly ticket)

in the dark.

Li Changan came to Kexing Electronics Processing Factory on Yuqiao Road.

It is said that it is an electronic processing factory, but it is actually more like a small workshop, the scale is not large, and the factory building looks a bit old.

Although it was already night, when he looked into the factory, the lights inside were still brightly lit, and the sound of mechanical gears turning never stopped.

That is to say, there are no residential buildings around, and it belongs to the factory area, otherwise the complaints are probably enough for them to drink a pot.

"Mr. Li Changan?" A voice came from the side of the factory.

"Hello. The client, Mr. Zhou Yingpeng?"

Following the sound, Li Changan saw a young man wearing a pair of glasses, who looked refined and had a very hearty personality.

"Sorry for letting you go so late."

Zhou Yingpeng said with a little apology.

"Within duty."

Li Changan waved his hand, and then said: "Please tell me the general situation."

"Ok."

Zhou Yingpeng pushed his glasses, pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and then said:
"The owner of this factory is Zhou Hai, who is also my father. The factory mainly makes parts for some electronic equipment, mainly mobile phone parts."

Father?

Li Changan glanced at Zhou Yingpeng in surprise.

Sensing his sight, Zhou Yingpeng smiled a little embarrassedly, "My father knew about this matter, and you have also obtained his permission to call you sir."

"You continue." Li Changan smiled gently.

Zhou Yingpeng breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:
"Sir, you must know about the passing of the 'Technology Act' some time ago? This bill allows many ordinary people to afford high-tech equipment, but it also suffers from factories and manufacturers involved in the production of equipment."

The price reduction of mobile phones, computers and other electronic equipment will inevitably cause the industry depression of the entire electronic equipment manufacturers.

Layoffs and salary cuts are also inevitable.

Otherwise, this bill, which has already been proposed, would not have been passed until now.

"As far as I know, the kingdom has given some subsidies and support."

"Yes. But we can't let everyone live on this subsidy and support, can we?"

This is true.

This time the "Technology Act" is promulgated, and I don't know how many people will lose their jobs.

Although the Kingdom has also arranged a lot of jobs for basic construction such as road construction and bridge construction.

But no matter how you say it, it's all physical work that is exposed to the sun, and it's definitely not as comfortable as the previous technical work.

In addition, the salary is not as good.

"My father was originally a small parts processing factory, and it was even more difficult to survive under such conditions. In just a few days, he lost a lot of hair. In the end, in order to survive, my father lowered the price to the acquirer. price."

Zhou Yingpeng's expression became a little unnatural.

Li Changan took a deep look at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and tentatively said:

"In order to make up for the price difference in this regard, the wages of employees have been reduced, and the working hours have been increased at the same time."

It seems that because Li Changan saw through his inner thoughts, Zhou Yingpeng hurriedly said in a little panic:
"Although, although the salary has been reduced, my father's salary is still much higher than the average salary outside, that is, the working hours are indeed a little longer, which will lead to problems later on."

"How long?" Li Changan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Just, I will be paid according to the working hours." Zhou Yingpeng said with his head down.

"."

Good guy, another world version 007?

its not right.

Li Changan quickly discovered something was wrong.

"According to this statement, even if the workers work desperately, their bodies will not be able to bear it."

"This is the crux of the matter!"

Finally getting to the point, Zhou Yingpeng suddenly became a little excited again.

"The problem is that those employees really don't know how tired they are!"

"Ok?"

"Some of the employees in the factory have been working continuously for a day and a night, but their bodies are still very strong, and there is no sign of fatigue in the operation. At first my father was happy about this for a while, but slowly he found something was wrong. , Although the workers are in good health, their dark circles are getting heavier and their eyes are bloodshot. They are obviously in a very poor state of mind, but they are still in good health."

Suddenly.

Li Changan thought of the man he met in the corridor of Professor Yan Fuchun's old house during the day.

Isn't that exactly what Zhou Yingpeng said?
"In addition, during this period of time, my father always had some strange nightmares for no reason at night. He felt that it should be because of guilt in his heart, and he was worried that an employee would die suddenly, so he asked you for help."

"The friend who recommended me told me that you are an excellent expert in animal science and you will definitely be able to solve the problem."

He looked at Li Changan expectantly.

"."

Exaggerated, this is indeed a bit exaggerated, I'm afraid I can't bear it! Li Changan slandered for a while.

However, after hearing it this way, the father and son are actually not too bad.

After introducing the basic information, Zhou Yingpeng led Li Changan to the factory.

Pushing open the gate of the factory, the sound of equipment, which was originally only faint and irritating, rushed towards the face, and the dazzling light of the incandescent lamp also made Li Changan squint his eyes subconsciously.

A hot scene in the factory.

If it hadn't been dark outside, people who didn't know would have thought it was daytime.

Clap—clap——

Zhou Yingpeng took Li Changan directly to a middle-aged man who was a bit fat, also wearing glasses, a loose suit, and a delicate brooch on his chest.

His biggest feature should be that his head is clean and smooth, which is particularly eye-catching and dazzling under the light of the incandescent lamp.

Is this hair loss a lot?
Is this completely gone?

"Meow~~" (Wow, so flashy.)
Under such lighting, even Xiao Huan, who was hiding in the shadows with his "Shadow Escape" skill, had to show his figure, and subconsciously blocked his eyes when he saw the bald head.

"Don't be rude." Li Changan reprimanded softly.

Xiao Huan stuck out the cat's tongue.

Under Zhou Yingpeng's introduction, Li Changan and Zhou Hai also exchanged a few words.

Zhou Hai gave Li Changan an obvious feeling of a businessman.

However, his mental state is indeed not very good.

Li Changan quietly activated "Soul Vision".

Zhou Hai's "soul" is similar to the "soul" of the rest of the workers in the factory, and they are all in a state of serious losses.

Even, his losses were even more exaggerated than those of the workers.

It's just that Li Changan didn't expect one thing.

Most of the rest of the workers' "souls" belong to natural dissipation, which is the daily consumption of a normal person, that is, their consumption is a little too much.

But Zhou Hai's "soul" escaped towards his head, more precisely, it escaped along his bald forehead.

Although the amount is not large.

But such a "chic" way of consumption was beyond his expectation.

He looked around again, but didn't see anything unusual, but his eyes stayed a little at the southeast corner of the ceiling, which was the direction where the "soul" drifted away.

After turning off "soul vision", Li Changan quietly asked Xiao Douding to perform "psychic communication" again.

But still to no avail.

Li Changan frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Hai couldn't help asking when he saw Li Changan's expression.

to be frank.

For a young man like Li Chang'an, who is called an "expert in the study of spirit beasts", he doesn't trust him very much.

But these days, anyone can be called an expert.

If he hadn't seen the revolver pinned to Li Changan's waist, he would have even thought Li Changan was a liar.

"May I ask where the office is?" Li Changan didn't answer Zhou Hai's question, but just asked.

"there."

Zhou Hai pointed to the corner of the factory. It was a small office with the door tightly closed.

"Can I go take a look?"

"Of course. Xiaopeng, take this with you"

Zhou Hai was just halfway through when he was interrupted by Li Changan: "No need, I can go alone."

After all, under the suspicious eyes of Zhou Hai and Zhou Yingpeng, they strode into the small office.

There is only a table and a worn-out boss chair inside, the table is also very messy, the old computer is full of dust, but a delicate but quaint teacup has been wiped clean.

"It's at least a few hundred?"

As soon as this thought came up, Li Changan forcibly suppressed it.

Just thinking about money.

"Xiao Huan, Ying Yan."

He let Xiao Huan stand on the table, gently rubbed its head and said.

"Meow?"

Xiao Huan looked at him suspiciously.

The "Shadow Evolution" skill is not omnipotent, so what is it?
Li Changan pursed his lips, and said again:

"Just look for the first person who may have an accident in this factory."

If you have a goal, you can give it a try.

next second.

Phantoms appeared in Xiaohuan's eyes, and wisps of black mist slowly emerged from its body.

After a moment.

Xiao Huan's eyes regained clarity.

Rubbing his little paws, he seemed a little hesitant and uncertain.

"Meow." (It should be...the light bulb.)
Light bulb?

Li Changan was startled, and immediately realized that it was Zhou Hai.

That's pretty much what he guessed.

However, the conclusion obtained by Xiaohuan "Yingyan" made him more confident in his guess.

"Come."

Taking Xiao Huan who had jumped on his shoulders, he walked out of the office and found Zhou Hai who was instructing the workers in the operation again.

"Find the reason?"

Zhou Hai's expression seemed a little impatient, and he also lacked confidence in Li Chang'an.

"The problem should be...here."

As Li Changan said, he stretched out his hand and touched the brooch on the neckline of Zhou Hai's suit.

"Can you take it off and show me?"

"this?"

Zhou Hai was taken aback for a moment, looked at Li Changan suspiciously, and slowly took it off in half-belief.

While handing it to Li Changan, he said, "This is just a brooch."

As soon as he got it, Li Changan knew he had guessed it right!

Under the "soul vision", the escape speed of Zhou Hai's "soul" really slowed down.

Most importantly, the "soul" no longer radiated from the top of his bald head.

Li Changan looked down at the brooch in his palm, and said in a low voice:

"Sure enough, it's a tool for a spirit master."

The incandescent lamps in the factory were so bright that even Zhou Hai's bald head was as bright as a small sun, but this brooch, which looked like a metal structure with a smooth surface, did not reflect the slightest light, and this was the crux of the problem.

He had noticed this before, but he was still a little unsure, until Xiao Huan's "Yingyan" gave him confidence.

The brooch in his hand was still emitting warmth, as if it was absorbing light.

sudden.

Li Changan, who was holding a brooch, frowned.

Under the incredible eyes of Zhou Hai, Zhou Yingpeng and the workers in the factory.

He quickly took out the revolver at his waist and pointed it at the southeast corner of the ceiling of the workshop.

Pull the trigger without hesitation.

boom! ! !
In an instant.

Mars radiates.

The bullets spit out from the muzzle shot out violently.

Zhou Yingpeng supported Zhou Hai, who was almost falling down and covered in cold sweat. For a moment, they almost thought that Li Changan drew his gun at them.

The two of them are now even more dumbfounded and speechless.

All the workers in the factory were taken aback and almost ran away.

Seeing Li Changan smacking his mouth, he was a little embarrassed, and said with a sigh of relief:
"Yeah, it's crooked."
