Lin Huai looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and blinked.
Familiar hairline, familiar expression, familiar top of the head... After a long time, he said, "You are Fang... brother?"
With the correct concept of seniority, Lin Huai is not so shameless that he can directly call the other party Uncle Fang. However, in order to show respect for the age difference in appearance, Lin Huai added the word "brother" to save face.
"I am Equation. Thirty years ago, I was your father's student." The gentle middle-aged man said, looking at Lin Huai's face, his eyes were full of nostalgia—as if time brought him back thirty years ago, Lin Huai was still the teacher who gave him the faintest affection when he was a teenager, "Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you and him really look alike... Is he okay? We all miss him."
Lin Huai originally wanted to say "I don't have a father", but in the end, he swallowed that sentence back and changed it to a sentence: "He is very good, old and strong, he walks the bird every morning, pets the cat at noon, and Walk the dog, feed the turtle at night."
Everyone: ...
"Where does Mr. Lin live, can we visit him?" Another man asked.
"He's gone abroad." Lin Huai said.
Several middle-aged people took Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu to the restaurant and invited them to dinner. When they came out, Lin Huai was still holding a bunch of red envelopes that they had stuffed into his hands. After everyone left, Chu Tianshu said to Lin Huai, "You are quite popular in this world."
Lin Huai: "Hey, it's just a group of kids."
He turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Fang Fang's voice behind him: "Mr. Lin."
That sentence didn't make Lin Huai turn his head back, he was still walking forward with Chu Tianshu, and Fang Fang's voice was still coming from behind: "They didn't recognize you, but I recognize you...you are not some teacher Lin Son, you are Teacher Lin, right?"
"..."
"It's been thirty years, and your appearance hasn't changed at all." He smiled hastily, "But I'm getting old."
"Uncle Fang, did you drink too much? You still look the same for more than thirty years." Chu Tianshu turned back and waved to him, "You should go home earlier."
Fang Fang smiled, with gentle eyes behind the glasses: "Well, it's because I drank too much. Let's go, goodbye!"
He waved his hand and watched the figures of the two disappear into the alley.
Thirty-five years ago Lin Huai left them without saying goodbye, now, he can at least say goodbye to them.
Lin Huai is not from this world, but it is enough to make up for leaving without saying goodbye.
…
The first thing Lin Huai did after returning to the high-level field camp was to send Yan Xi and Xu Chi, the brothers and sisters, to Du Che, the god of mold. With the help of Lin Chu and the two of them, under the discussion of the three of them, Du Che finally opened a family in the camp...
Li ghost items exchange experience talk public relations hall.
Facts have proved that Du Che's things are still unsalable, but soon they are lucky to find that all the horror items Du Che possesses can't beat Xu Chi and Yan Xi's cooperation. So they opened a ghost exchange experience hall with peace of mind, and let ordinary players use ghost props to exercise their ability to interact with ghosts.
In the beginning, Ducher only hoped to open a ghost fighting gym to train players' ability to communicate with ghost objects. However, this idea received triple opposition from Lin Huai, Xu Chi and Yan Xi. Under the influence of these three people, the shop was finally changed into a talk hall.
"Exchange the cause of death, exchange the experience of being a ghost, exchange what kind of victim you like most as a ghost, sort out and enlighten the victim... No, the players' feelings about being killed by a ghost... It can also relieve pressure and enhance the relationship between humans and ghosts. I understand, this idea is perfect!" Chu Tianshu clapped his palms.
Everyone: ...
"I finally escaped from the dungeon, who would want to talk to ghosts in the camp!" Du Che said with a mournful face, "What are you all thinking?"
In short, the matter was decided like this, and Chu Tianshu even assumed the responsibility of finding a suitable shop for them in the main city. When discussing the ownership of the store, Ducher took a step back consciously and was willing to be the manager, so Lin Huai became the de facto owner of the experience center. The store attracted a large number of customers as soon as it opened, and later even became an information exchange center because of the shrewd Xu Chi... This is something Lin Huai did not expect today.
Just before he was about to leave, he patted the shoulders of Xu Chi and Yanxi and said, "From today onwards, you will step into society by yourself."
Both of them were a little bit reluctant and at a loss.
"There is no feast that lasts forever," Lin Huai said kindly, "It is impossible for you to be my students all your life. Now that you have become my employees, you have to change your way of thinking and work hard for me."
Two people: ...
How come this oppressive words are so proficient? !
Lin Huai said to Du Che again: "I still have four beauties here, and I don't have time to do work for them for the time being. When they get through their work, I will let the four of them come over to work."
After everything was ready, Lin Huai started his journey to the next instance. Before this, Chu Tianshu had to deal with a small matter, so the two couldn't enter the dungeon hand in hand. He intends to wait for the matter to be dealt with before entering the game through a visa.
So Lin Huai closed his eyes in the advanced field camp that day as usual. The familiar dizziness came, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the deserted street.
Lin Huai took two steps forward, only to realize that the invitation letter in his hand had turned into a recruitment flyer. Lin Huai grabbed the flyer and read it in front of her eyes.
"Baishi Express is recruiting couriers, mainly responsible for Westwood District, with a monthly salary of 5,000, including food and accommodation, and an extra 1 yuan commission for each additional order delivered. Details are negotiable... Baishi Express? The name of this express is very interesting. .”
Lin Huai said, after confirming the address on the leaflet, he crumpled the leaflet and put it in his pocket.
He walked down the path and finally found this half-dead express station at the end of the half-dead alley. All kinds of packages are piled up inside and outside the courier station, but the door inside is ajar. Lin Huai looked carefully for a while, only to find that there was only a pale-skinned little girl sitting listlessly in the back of the express station, with a job recruitment notice posted beside her. Lin Huai pondered for a while, and instead of going through the main entrance, he turned around and arrived at the back of the courier station.
A truck was parked behind the express station. The truck was driving, but there was no one unloading it. Lin Huai saw two places like exhaust windows at the back of the building, thought for a moment, and first climbed onto one of them along the wall.
Inside the exhaust window is an office, the lights are not turned on, some desks are clean, and some desks are throwing things randomly, like a place for employees to take a break. Lin Huai then climbed up another window. Through the exhaust window, he saw that it was dark inside, except for a desk, as if someone was lying on it.
The person's posture was distorted, not as if he was sleeping on it, but as if he was pressed by something invisible, and all the joints and neck of his body were broken alive.
—Under his head, there is a large piece of black blood that has dried up!
'It turns out my boss is dead. Lin Huai thought, "This is a good thing that many 996 migrant workers can't even hope for." '
Therefore, he is full of expectations for his future.
"Is anyone there?" Someone shouted gruffly from the door on the other side, "I'm here to apply, is there anyone?"
"It's strange, the couriers here are all piled up outside and no one is watching." Another voice was a shrill male voice, "Aren't you afraid of someone stealing things?"
"You don't know what's in the package, so you just piled up the package, you steal it?" The man laughed at him.
"There is someone inside, what are you calling for?" The little girl seemed to be in charge of door-to-door delivery and ordering, "Boss, someone is here to apply for the job!"
Lin Huai saw the corpse lying on the table move and move again, as if something had "drilled" in and was putting on clothes. Soon, the corpse slowly got up from the table, washed his face beside him, and then slowly walked out of the room.
Before he walked out of the room, all of a sudden, the corpse turned around and looked straight at the exhaust window!
However, there was nothing there, the corpse's eyes stopped for a while, and after a long time, it slowly walked out.
"Here we come." Its slow voice came from the air, "I'm here to apply, what are you applying for?"
After the corpse left, Lin Huai came to the main entrance from under the exhaust window. Now he was sure that the real boss of this courier station had died long before he came.
Now it is not a human being who comes to interview them and give them a job, but a "ghost"!
"But that's fine." Lin Huai thought optimistically, "When I insult my boss to death, I won't be brought to court for alleged 'personal assault'. After all, I'm stating the facts."
Of course, Lin Huai did not go up to apply for the job immediately. He found an easy-to-observe place and listened to the movements of the fat and thin couple. These two are a pair of cousins who also came to the city to work. After seeing this recruitment notice, I came to the courier station.
The corpse-turned-boss changed his clothes when he came out. It was still early autumn, but he was wearing a turtleneck sweater that covered his entire neck and even most of his face. The exposed face was also wet, which looked very weird. But the fat and thin people obviously didn't take this matter to heart. After briefly saying a few words, I confirmed that the salary and that it is indeed free of food and housing—in addition, the head office was in a hurry to recruit people because the former courier station owner ran away—this little girl who was in charge of making orders was also found this morning. Here they are—now that they have a 2,000 subsidy after entering the job, the two quickly and happily joined the courier station.
"Boss," the thin man asked a few more words casually before joining, "What happened to the boss before, and he ran away?"
"Why do you care so much, we have a subsidy of 2,000!" The fat man bumped the thin man with his elbow, obviously thinking that he talked too much nonsense, and he was afraid that the 2,000 subsidy would be gone. As he said that, he said to the boss: "Boss, when do we start dispatching work today?"
"No hurry, no hurry, we'll talk about it when everyone is here." The boss smiled.
After the fat and thin people, another person came to the courier station. One is wearing glasses, he looks listless, like a young part-time college student. The boss hired him anyway. After that, Lin Huai packed up his clothes and walked in.
"Boss, are you still recruiting?" He knocked on the shutter door and asked.
