Aoba Office

The door handle was twisted open. That movement was a normal movement, at a normal speed, but for some reason, it always gave me a very slow feeling. So slow that every detail can be seen clearly.

The old man's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

The camera captured his side profile, and his originally dull eyes seemed to have a little sparkle.

The movement of the door being opened was also subtle and strangely slow, and the "squeak" was dragged out for a very long time. It seemed that in this short moment, the door shaft had rusted, making a harsh sound in this quiet night.

Light shone in from outside the door.

The dim lights in the corridor extend from the crack of the door, and in the living room, merge with the white light of the incandescent lamp emitting from the bedroom.

Standing at the door was a man wearing black clothes and a black hat. He looked like the kind of person who would be popular among passersby. He would take one look at him and then turn around and forget about him. His whole body was tense, staring at the person next to the camera, as if he were a leopard ready to attack, but it was not trying to kill its prey, but trying to escape.

"what happened?"

Ye Qing's voice sounded outside the camera, his voice indifferent and calm.

The man in black clothes was silent for a few seconds and replied awkwardly: "The address is wrong."

The two seemed to be playing riddles.

"Your address will also be wrong?" Ye Qing's voice had a dangerous tone.

The man in black clothes was silent.

"Is it like you don't know how that crack was created?" Ye Qing asked sarcastically.

The man in black blushed, "This is something done by a living person. We have corrected it."

"My client came to us and said that someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night." Ye Qing said again.

The man in black asked eagerly: "Where is that address?"

"It seems you are not the only one with the wrong address." Ye Qing changed the subject, "Have you heard of the name Mi Sixian?"

The man in black sighed, "We only found out there was something wrong with the address when we received his international express delivery."

"Oh, okay. You can go to work. I will take care of my client's side." Ye Qing seemed to give way.

The man in black looked at the old man.

The old man forced a smile. His facial muscles were very stiff, and his smile was also very stiff, but his eyes were full of smiles, and there was a sense of relief. He walked towards the man in black on crutches, walking slowly. The man in black did not rush, and went downstairs at the same slow speed.

The door was closed by a hand.

On May 22, 2001, it was confirmed that there was an error in the nameplate of the residential complex where the client lived. Yuan Bo's decoration team installed the two community nameplates in the wrong position. Correction has been made.

On May 23, 2001, the investigation was concluded.

After reading the last line of the file, I quickly turned to the front page of the file and entered Fan Ruhong's address into the search website, but the results I got were disappointing.

That piece of land was demolished 10 years ago. The demolition work went quite smoothly and nothing happened.

The God of Death... lives in a certain community, waiting for the soul of the deceased to come and report...

This news had a big impact on me.

Anyone who knows that their neighbor may be a god of death, black and white, or a bull-headed and horse-faced person will be a little confused.

What if you go to the wrong door...

I shuddered.

And this is too contrary to my previous "common sense". In movies and TV shows, the Grim Reaper and the Ghost Warrior all wear suits and use PADs. In reality, they live in a run-down neighborhood, not a luxury apartment?

I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. When I came back to my senses, the conversation between Ye Qing and the God of Death who didn't know which system came to mind again. The god of death was obviously quite afraid of Ye Qing, and Ye Qing was also very rude and sarcastic to him. What is Ye Qing's background?

The evil star that Yu Xinrong said may not be reliable, but people like Ye Qing, me, and Gu Mo who have "superpowers" seem to be a little different.

Speaking of which, Ye Qing also opened a supernatural agency in a poor community, accepting commissions and handling supernatural incidents, and his behavior could be said to be weird.

Is he also working in a certain "system", similar to the God of Death?

The cracks Ye Qing mentioned...

I couldn't help but think of that staircase.

"Brother Qi, are you leaving?"

The thin man called me and woke me up.

"Okay." I packed my things and stood up.

Fatty is discharged from the hospital today. We are going to pick him up from the hospital and find a place to have dinner to celebrate.

Chen Yihan later listened to what I said and found the residence of Xiao Zheng and his son, but as my dream showed, they completely disappeared, leaving only some traces of their lives. On the day when the fire alarm was dealt with, when there was a short circuit in the wire and smoke came out, the source was found and the disappearance of Xiao Zheng and his son was also discovered. After Chen Yihan confirmed it, he no longer cared about this matter. It was impossible for him to change the two people from missing people to dead people and explain to people that they were actually ghosts.

Our lives have returned to normal, but everyone has a shadow on their mind.

I felt guilty, but Guo Yujie slapped me away from that feeling of guilt.

"It's not your fault. Didn't that uncle also say that we can't escape?" Guo Yujie said very freely.

The thin man pretended to pose, "Brother Qi, if you said I had an ability, what would it be like? Supernatural abilities don't seem very cool. Controlling metal, laser eyes, and the speed of light are more cool. "

Chen Xiaoqiu didn't make any jokes, but said calmly: "I've said it before."

She told me before. Unlike Gu Mo's metaphysical fatalism, she prefers scientific fatalism. Although scientific theories have developed to this day, they are completely contrary to fatalism. I know that Chen Xiaoqiu said those words sincerely and truly believed in his fatalism. It’s not that she doesn’t understand science. This should be related to her character.

"I didn't expect to meet Qingye, but now I feel that this is good." Chen Xiaoqiu's words were not to comfort me who blamed myself, but her heartfelt voice.

Compared with the complicated relationship between colleagues and the tedious and boring work, Aoba's appearance made her find it exciting and interesting.

She may be the only one among us who doesn't object to Aoba's affairs at all.

That fatalism was not only spoken to me, but also to her brother-in-law Chen Yihan. Mainly speaking to Chen Yihan.

I even suspected that what she said to me in a serious manner that day was a rehearsal in advance and she was just waiting to explain it to Chen Yihan later.

The old leader knew that we were picking up the fat man from the hospital and asked us to take him to greet him.

"By the way, how is the girl who took care of him? She is about to be discharged from the hospital. Are the two of them friends?" the old leader asked casually.

The old leader saw Xue Jingyue when he went to the hospital to visit the fat man. He didn't say anything, but Xue Jingyue was no longer there. Like all old people, he was very concerned about the emotional life of the younger generation.

"I don't know. His character..." The thin man shook his head and patted his chest again, "Don't worry, we are watching and we will definitely make it happen for the two of them!"

Guo Yujie agreed with a smile: "The fat man must be fine."

The old leader nodded kindly, "Then I'm going to prepare a red envelope."

We went to the hospital and saw Xue Jingyue helping Fatty pack his things. None of us believe that the two of them failed.

I guess our eyes were too revealing, especially the deliberately thin man and the carefree Guo Yujie. The fat man's face turned red, and Xue Jingyue's head hung lower.

Thanks to Abu 2 and Yeyu Qingchen for the reward.

I also want to thank everyone for their book list recommendations. So touching! o(*￣▽￣*)o
