Mysterious country

Chapter 6 Helpless Choice
Xia Qi didn't tell his mother what happened to him last night. The reason was very simple, because he didn't want his mother to worry.

But having said that, even if he told his mother, as an ordinary high school Chinese teacher, his mother would not be able to help at all.

Of course, the most deceitful person is his grandfather, because if he doesn't travel sooner or later, he has to choose him when he is in trouble and needs help urgently.And the most terrible thing is that he still can't contact anyone at all.

Xia Qi's grandfather is an old man with a very strange personality, and he also has a very apt nickname in the circle of friends - old naughty boy.However, although he is an old naughty boy, he has a very stubborn temper. He just thinks about it and does whatever he wants, regardless of whether your family members agree or not, and whether your friends are willing or not.

Sitting in the speeding taxi, Xia Qi thought about it all the way drowsily, but when he got off the taxi, he forgot all of what he just thought about.

When he came to the Golden Office Building again, Xia Qi had already lost the excitement he had when he came last time, only restlessness and apprehension remained.

Speaking of which, he decided to come back here again, and fetching his phone was only one of the aspects. As for the real reason, he hoped that the middle-aged uncle could help him solve his doubts.

Although there was no evidence to prove it, he always felt that his horrible experience in the past two days was definitely related to that middle-aged uncle, no, more precisely, it was definitely related to that mysterious company.

With doubts in his stomach, the elevator that Xia Qi took had unknowingly arrived at the 33rd floor where the company was located.

However, exactly the same as the last time he came here, just as he stepped out of the elevator, he found that the middle-aged man was already standing opposite him, waiting for him.

"Come with me."

The middle-aged uncle still doesn't talk much, he can keep it simple.After seeing Xia Qi coming out of the elevator, he turned around and walked aside.

"Grass, why don't you fuck you to death!"

Xia Qi curled his lips unhappily, but still followed behind the middle-aged uncle, looking around non-stop during the process.

In fact, there is nothing to look at, because it is an extremely ordinary office area, and the decoration is more luxurious at most.It's not the kind of transparent workstations connected one by one, but the kind of independent office with walls and doors.

So who are the people working in these offices, or whether there are people in these offices, Xia Qi actually has no idea at all.

Following the middle-aged uncle not far away, Xia Qi followed the middle-aged uncle into a luxuriously decorated office.

The office is very spacious, and there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, from which it is not difficult to see the preferences of the middle-aged uncle.

Without asking the middle-aged uncle for instructions, Xia Qi consciously sat on the sofa after entering, and then said straight to the point:

"Leaving aside the matter of the mobile phone, I have a few questions that I must get answers from you!"

What Xia Qi said was decisive, and he didn't give the middle-aged uncle any room for refusal.Of course, as for whether the middle-aged uncle doesn't care about him or whether he will completely ignore him, that's another matter.

"What do you want to ask?" The middle-aged uncle replied calmly after hearing this.

"I want to know about you and what your company does!" Xia Qi asked his first question.

"You are not qualified to know this right now, so I can't answer you." The middle-aged uncle also simply refused.

Seeing that the middle-aged uncle refused to answer, the fire in Xia Qi's heart suddenly burst out again:

"I can't answer this, and I'm not qualified to know that! Well... I'll ask you a question now, come and tell me, what can you tell me?"

The middle-aged uncle looked deeply at the angry Xia Qi, and after a short silence, he heard him say slowly:
"I'll just say it once, I hope you don't interrupt me."

Xia Qi nodded impatiently after hearing this. If there was nothing wrong, he would naturally not interrupt for no reason.

"I think you should have encountered strange events that you can't understand that night at Xinhua Bookstore, and last night. Or, you have encountered ghosts, right?"

"You know these things?"

Hearing the middle-aged uncle directly tell what happened to him in the past two days, Xia Qi couldn't help exclaiming, but thinking of what the middle-aged uncle said before, he hurriedly shut his mouth again, signaling the middle-aged uncle to continue talking.

The middle-aged uncle paused for a moment before saying:

"I can only give you a reminder, of course, you can also understand it as advice.

If you don't go back to work hard tonight and figure out how to finish your trial period, then it will be very difficult for you to escape tonight.Although you have some "gadgets" on you.

I think you should be able to understand what I mean. "

Xia Qi looked at the middle-aged uncle in a daze, first nodded dully, then asked uncertainly:
"You mean to say that the reason why I bumped into a ghost yesterday was because I didn't go to work at Xinhua Bookstore?"

"You can understand that." The middle-aged uncle nodded affirmatively.

Seeing the middle-aged uncle nodding, Xia Qi hurriedly asked again:
"Does that mean that as long as I honestly go back to the bookstore to be on duty, I won't run into ghosts again?"

"Don't lie to yourself. You should know the answer to this matter very well in your heart." The middle-aged uncle directly poured cold water on Xia Qi.

Xia Qi's heart began to twitch violently again, he covered his heart with an ugly expression, and took deep breaths uninterrupted.After a while, he said with difficulty:

"That bookstore is haunted at night, right? As for that ghost, it should be Zhang Xiaoshun. The corpses I saw that night must have been brutally killed by him.

I couldn't escape at first, probably the ghost jade amulet my grandfather gave me worked, so it saved my life at that time. "

The more he talked, the more unstable Xia Qi's mood became, and in the end it directly turned into a roar:

"If you go to the bookstore, you will be killed by ghosts. If you don't go to the bookstore, you will still be killed by ghosts. No matter what, you will die. Is it true that you are honest and want to play me to death?

Did I offend you before, or did I offend your child?There is no injustice or enmity, so why do you have to get me to death! "

"You chose this path yourself, and you signed the contract yourself. No one forced you to sign it, let alone signed it for you. In addition, it seems that no one told you that going back to the bookstore on duty must be a dead end."

There was an imperceptible sneer on the middle-aged uncle's face.

"Is not it?"

"Could it be?" The middle-aged uncle asked back: "Did I say that they are irresistible?"

Hearing what the middle-aged uncle said, Xia Qi regained his energy all of a sudden, and even the disgusted eyes he looked at the middle-aged uncle immediately turned into courteous friendliness:
"Quick, tell me how to deal with them!"

"No comment, because you need to figure it out on your own. As for some things about the company, if you can "become a regular" smoothly in the future, you will gradually know. Well, take your mobile phone and leave later. From time to time, I will bring two newcomers to the probation period.”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged uncle deliberately approached Xia Qi, and then handed the phone to him.Afterwards, as if remembering something, he raised his head and said to Xia Qi:
"There are some things that secular forces cannot intervene, that's why people like us exist."

With that said, the middle-aged uncle threw another bunch of car keys to Xia Qi.

"Give me back your car keys..."

Xia Qi didn't know how he got out of the golden office building at all, or his thoughts were completely immersed in the conversation with the middle-aged uncle just now.

Sitting on the steps in front of the golden office building with aches and pains all over his body, Xia Qi's mood was as difficult to calm down as the rising tide of the sea.

However, this trip to the golden office building made him understand a lot of things.

The first is his own current situation.

There are only two choices before him, one is to go back to the bookstore to die, and the other is not to go back to the bookstore and wait for death.

Judging from the middle-aged uncle's reminder to him, the former should be close to death, while the latter should be sure to die if there are no accidents.

Moreover, the middle-aged uncle also seemed to know that he had the amulet on him, but he still made this conclusion for him. It can be seen that even if his grandfather can come to help him, he may not be able to survive unharmed.

What's more, he didn't want his family members to worry about him and let them suffer innocently.

In addition, he now has a little understanding of the reason why he was haunted by ghosts.Nine times out of ten it was because he passed the interview with that company and signed that damn "ghost" contract with it!
That's why he now has to obey that company's orders and return to Xinhua Bookstore.

In the end, all the mysteries about this company can only be known after he passes the probationary period and becomes a full-time employee.

Although he has no idea how to pass the probationary period at the moment.

But it doesn't matter, although he still has many doubts that have not been solved, but at least he is clear about his situation now, so that he will not be bumping around in the unknown panic like before.

Know what you should do now.

That is to go back to the Xinhua Bookstore to work the night shift honestly, and think of a way to resist the ghosts and survive.

Although the middle-aged uncle didn't tell him what to do to deal with ghosts, he did explain one thing to him, that is—ghosts are not completely irresistible.

In other words, as long as he finds the right method, he can also destroy them!
