Lord Shenxiu

Chapter 658: Annual Meeting (Requesting Monthly Tickets)


D City.

Inside a dilapidated abandoned factory.

"So... the haunting here mainly started because the former factory owner wanted to resurrect his young daughter... by making a deal with the entity behind the wall... He sacrificed many people, but he didn't realize that the daughter who came back to life had become a ghost!"

Chu He lifted the eyepatch, revealing the pure white pupil underneath.

Chu He, the Wise Eye!

That was his nickname now.

And beneath the transplanted Deceit Eye, all types of spooks could not hide!

With the power of the Deceit Eye, Chu He saw a girl with pale skin wearing a blood-red dress.

Her originally troublesome invisibility ability, startlingly, was thwarted!

"Yue Qin, 5 meters to your left!"

Chu He immediately shouted.

Yue Qin raised her hand, scattering a cloud of bone ash into the air, revealing an outline.

The ghost's outline!

Swoosh!

Yue Shan stomped and launched himself like a cannonball, extending his left hand.

He had lost his left hand during the Ancient House Incident.

But no matter, Zhong Shenxiu had transplanted another limb for him, a ghost's limb!

This limb was pale as if drained of blood, yet strong and powerful, and even... able to grasp ghosts!

Yue Shan had been wearing gloves all along, but now he had taken them off and grabbed the human-shaped outline by the neck, lifting the entire female ghost.

"Good, keep it suppressed!"

Chu He shouted, "Over to the Deceit Wall!"

"I can hold on for another 20 seconds!"

Yue Shan said, holding the female ghost, his expression unchanged.

The Deceit Hand could slightly suppress ghost types, but was not very effective against real ghosts.

He could suppress it for 20 seconds, of course, because this female ghost was not a real ghost, but a slave to the Deceit Wall!

Following Yue Shan, he quickly ran to the depths of the factory area, in front of a pitch-black wall.

By then, Chu He could see inside the wall, where numerous horrifying things writhed as if to open a gate to an alien dimension.

"Quick, the way to survive this job is to send the girl ghost resurrected by the sacrifice back into the Deceit Wall, and to seal the gate!"

Chu He said.

Under his command, Yue Shan threw the female ghost into the Deceit Wall.

The wall, immediately like a quagmire, engulfed the female ghost.

Even so, a terrifying aura spread.

"A few more minutes, and the job will be done!"

Chu He checked his watch, "Sacrificing this female ghost should buy us at least five minutes... If the being behind the Deceit Wall still wants to come out, we'll collectively suppress it in one go!"

"Understood!"

Yue Shan and Yue Qin worked together in perfect harmony.

Chu He took out a walkie-talkie, "Murong Hong, Han Bingjie... How's the newbie doing?"

"Don't worry, we've completed our task here, although there was a ghost attack, but it was repelled by me and Sister Hong..."

After receiving the Deceit Skin, Han Bingjie was no longer the same person, earning the nickname 'The Skin Artist' in the company.

It must be said, after receiving Zhong Shenxiu's parting gift, everyone on the 13th floor had been transformed.

"Manager, not a single rookie has perished. We are at the factory gate and will immediately leave by car once the mission's over..."

"Very good!"

Chu He nodded, looking towards the Deceit Wall.

At the end of the mission, the Deceit Wall indeed began to change.

"Quick, a final suppression, and then run for the factory gate."

He made a swift decision, the Deceit Eye spinning, focusing on the black Deceit Wall.

...

"Haha, Chu He, you're really amazing..."

After several minutes.

On the coach.

Having removed the Deceit Skin, Han Bingjie comfortably opened a bottle of "Happy Water", "To be able to find the path to life ahead of time, preventing that entity behind the Deceit Wall from coming out... This was a task of twenty-people difficulty, and we all managed to get through it together."

Yue Shan and Yue Qin, among others, were quite relaxed as well, their faces filled with something called hope.

Since receiving their rewards, every single old employee on the 13th floor had undergone a transformation and it was said that, as long as they were careful and cautious, it was very hard for them to die during regular work.

And as for team-building tasks, as long as they cooperated fully and didn't encounter any sudden difficulty mutations or other emergencies, they also stood a very good chance of making it through.

"It's not enough, still not enough!"

Chu He touched his white eyepatch, "Our consumption of supernatural items is too great... The uses of the Deceit Hand, Deceit Skin, and Deceit Eye are also too many... This is also putting more and more strain on our bodies... We have to maintain our best condition to get through the annual event!"

Mentioning this, the newcomers weren't too bothered, but the old employees all fell silent.

The company's tasks were divided into three difficulties: regular, team-building, and annual event.

Regular work had already become deadly from time to time, and before Zhong Shenxiu joined, team wipes in team-building tasks were quite normal.

But the annual event tasks were the most terrifying!

If difficulty were to be divided by the number of people, the annual event task had... the number of the entire company staff!

And moreover, there might not be any paths to life, just inescapable reaping!

The entire 13th floor had nearly been wiped out during the last annual event, leaving only Cao Liuyu.

But Chu He and the others knew very well that it wasn't because Cao Liuyu was lucky or any such thing, but because he himself was a ghost!

So, in actuality, the living employees on the 13th floor had all been wiped out during the last annual event.

Even the other floors were almost the same.

Even Chu He could not know too much about the information regarding the annual event.

"I must survive the annual event!"

Yue Shan stroked his gloved left hand, then looked at his sister who was missing her right hand, and made up his mind.

For the company's employees, the annual event was just a yearly, most terrifying slaughterhouse.

But for them, the annual event was both a calamity and an opportunity.

The opportunity to leave the company!

That person's promise would surely be fulfilled!

Yue Shan could only comfort himself in this way; amidst hell, he must cling desperately to even the slightest hope.

Yue Qin nodded at him comfortingly, then suddenly looked out the window and exhaled a breath of white air, "It's snowing, huh..."

Chu He's expression instantly tightened.

Winter had arrived, and the snow was flying.

Could the annual event be far off?

...

The coach stopped in front of the Anywhere to Go Express Company Building.

Chu He and the others led the newcomers into the reception hall.

"It's the people from the 13th floor!"

"Chu He, the Wise Eye, really came back in one piece, and he's even brought so many newcomers!"

"The 13th floor is too strong. Apart from Chu He, there's also the Deceit Hand and the Skin Painter..."

Whispers rose all around, and many eyes filled with awe looked their way.

After all, after having transplanted parts of the ghosts, they were not only able to deal with ghosts, but were actually even more effective against people...

The fame of the 13th floor had been fought for and earned!

The new employees who had just joined the 13th floor were unaware, looking at this scene, but they also felt honored and their sense of belonging increased greatly.

It was just that, looking at the always-closed security guard room on the first floor and the luxury director's desk and genuine leather chair outside that no one dared to touch, it felt a bit mismatched.

Suddenly.

The tone of text message alerts started going off one after another.

Not just on the 13th floor, but in the hall, everyone's phones received a message!

Immediately, the faces of many clever people looked incredibly bad.

"Has it finally come?"

Chu He took out his phone and saw the message:

[Dear employee, thank you for your longstanding companionship with the company!]

[The invitation to the annual event is now issued!]
