An Rugu packed up her things, asked Shang Yue to inform those who wanted their fortunes told to come back tomorrow, and left Cloud Rise Temple with Mr. Sun.

The car drove all the way to the headquarters of Changjiu Real Estate Company¹ in the center of Nancheng City. Changjiu Company was one of the top three real estate companies in Nancheng. The building has a total of thirty floors, grandly decorated and designed to accommodate a large number of employees working at the same time. 

But right now, there were actually very few people inside.

Mr. Sun showed a wry smile on his face, “Since strange things started happening in the company, many people asked for leave, and they refused to come to work. Only a handful of courageous people dare to come these days.”

In fact, if it wasn’t for the company, Mr. Sun wouldn’t dare to come either; after all, the nightmare was really terrifying!

Zhang Nuannuan, an employee of Changjiu Company, was also afraid, but she still came to work today.

She placed the report she had just processed on the desk, then opened a recruitment website on her phone—she decided to interview with the HR of the new company tomorrow.

The people in the company were all panicked and everyone’s hearts were floating.

[I asked for leave today, how about you?]

[Before, I didn’t believe that your nightmares were real, but I napped in the company for a while at noon the day before yesterday. My god, it’s really crazy. I, a person who has never dreamed for thousands of years, actually had a nightmare. When I woke up, my back was drenched in sweat. Who dares to work there anymore? In any case, it won’t be me.]

[Zhang Nuannuan from the Finance Department told me that she has to go to work today.]

[@Zhang Nuannuan, true warrior!!! I know now that you are the most daring person in our company.]

[When is the feast? I’ll make a reservation for a seat in advance.]

Zhang Nuannuan: “…”

Zhang Nuannuan, who was almost frightened to speechlessness, replied: [If I don’t go to work, the ghosts of poverty and hunger will find me before the ghosts in the dream will.]

Other employees: [I haven’t paid back the money I owe, so I don’t want to ask for leave. When will this day end? Is there anyone here to save me!]

[Quickly go to Weibo to check, the matter of our company being haunted is already on the trending list in Nancheng and many people are discussing this matter, it should be resolved soon.]

Zhang Nuannuan was curious and clicked on the Weibo link sent by the other party. #ghosts haunting at Changjiu Real Estate# has been listed on the Nancheng hot list.

There were many discussions below the entry.

[I heard that Changjiu Real Estate Company is haunted, do you know what’s going on?]

[Holy crap, Changjiu Real Estate Company is right in front of my house. That place is haunted? Why didn’t I know??]

[I heard that in order not to cause panic, their company specially asked the employees to shut up about it. My brother works there, so he knows a little bit about it. It is said that anyone who sleeps while in the company will dream of ghosts taking their lives, telling them that they have done something wrong.]

[If this revelation is not false, it is too terrifying. Everyone in the company has been having the same nightmares. It is definitely not a coincidence!]

[Am I the only one wondering what the hell is wrong with the company for this to happen?]

[Plus one, ghosts have no reason to harm people if there’s no grudge.]

[Industry insiders say that Changjiu Real Estate has a very bad reputation. The intrigue in the office is particularly serious, and employees’ wages are still in arrears. It doesn’t perform like a big company at all. As long as people in the industry have somewhere else to go, they won’t go to Changjiu Real Estate.]

There were all sorts of different opinions on the Internet. Zhang Nuannuan took a look and found that most people were only making wild guesses, but a small number of people said some things that made sense.

She put down her phone, leaned heavily on the back of her chair, and glanced at the financial statements on the table with a hint of worry in her eyes.

If things were really as she imagined them to be, then everything would make sense.

Just as she was immersed deep in thought, there was the sound of footsteps in her ears. She looked up and saw a group of men and women walking in.

They were all dressed in black uniforms, looking a little worn and dusty but full of vigor and righteousness. The man leading the group looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with regular features and deep wrinkles on his forehead, which seemed to tell of the vicissitudes of life.

The person next to him walked up to the man and said, “Captain Li, we are here.”

Li Wenzhong hummed acknowledgment then looked at two people from the team and said in a deep voice, “Lin Weiyu, Su Lai, you two go and see what’s going on.”

Lin Weiyu and Su Lai immediately nodded in agreement and split up to search for the origin of the strangeness of the building.

The few employees in the office saw this group of uniformed strangers and watched them with open curiosity.

Li Wenzhong reassured them, “We are here to deal with the haunting incident in your company. It’s nothing to do with you, so you can all leave.”

He turned his head to look at the person next to him. The other party received his intention and immediately organized the company’s personnel to start clearing the office.

Zhang Nuannuan and others had no choice but to pack their things and prepare to leave.

As she was going out, she looked back and there was surprise and unexpected joy flashing in her eyes. Although these people did not reveal their identities, they seemed to be officials no matter how she looked at them.

It turned out that the country had people like this who dealt with metaphysical matters.

This was great news! As long as these officials were here, matters would definitely be resolved!

1. Changjiu 长久 means ‘long’ as in long-lasting and durable, or a long period (of contemplation). A pretty good name for a real estate company, but it’s unwieldy to translate so I just left it in pinyin. ↩︎
