Chapter 9: Contracted Ghost Slave, New Employee of the Post Station

Chapter 9: Contracted Ghost Slave, New Employee of the Post Station
Yang Fan walked from the living room to the warehouse. The moment she walked in, the lights in the house came on and she could see the scene inside clearly.

When I visited during the day, the originally empty shelves were filled with all kinds of express deliveries.

At the same time, a notification sound came from the computer next to the door, "The stationmaster of Huangquan Post - Yang Fan is online. The door of the post is open. Please start working as soon as possible."

With a "click", the rolling door lock opened and the rolling door slowly rose.

Yang Fan: ...It’s quite automated.

She walked past the shelves piled with express parcels and approached the computer.

The computer opened automatically, and on the page were six prominent characters: Huangquan Station System.

In the upper left corner is her name and photo, as well as her job title: Stationmaster of Huangquan Station.

There is also a statistic below, which includes the number of items shipped out, followed by a 0, and the working hours.

The number above counted to one minute and the number continued to jump.

Next to it is like a mailbox page, with the recipient and sender information written on each item, and the words "not picked up" at the end.

The entire screen is filled with uncollected items, and you have to turn the pages.

The rolling door was fully opened, and two ghosts, one big and one small, stood at the door.

The child ghost is called Jian Xiangdi and the female ghost is called Liang Zishu. The former died in a car accident at the age of ten, and the latter died suddenly from overwork at the age of twenty-five after being exploited by an unscrupulous boss.

According to these two ghosts, Huangquan Station has existed for a very long time, and the express deliveries inside are all things that the ghosts’ relatives in the world of the living burned for them, and things that they bought on the underworld’s Internet with their own paper money.

The post station used to be located in other places, but was moved to Shangyuan Village a few years ago.

The original body's uncle Yang Xiuwen was the stationmaster of Huangquan Station. He was a kind person, but his character was too soft, and he was often bullied by the four evil spirits.

Although there are rules in the underworld that evil spirits cannot harm people in the post station, and ghosts cannot enter places where humans live.

But those evil ghosts always like to play pranks. One day last year, Yang Xiuwen went to the town to do some business and came back a little late at night.

Those evil spirits played a trick on the road, causing Yang Xiuwen to fall into a dried-up river. When the villagers found him the next day, he was already dead.

The vegetables in the village are all stolen by ghosts. Because of the Huangquan Station, the village is full of spiritual energy, and the vegetables and fruits grown in the fields are all filled with spiritual energy.

So the ghosts cannot resist such temptation and come to steal vegetables or fruits from the fields at night.

At this point, Jian Xiangdi lowered her head shyly, "...I also secretly ate some."

Liang Zishu: "Me too..."

It's no wonder they couldn't resist the temptation, but things with spiritual energy in the underworld require ghost money to buy, and it's very expensive. The things in this village can be eaten without spending ghost money, which ghost can resist it.

Moreover, in order to sneak out to eat food, they work hard to save up ghost money to buy things. Ghosts who don't have ghost money to buy things can only leave the underworld after their family members in the world of the living burn something for them and receive the pickup information.

"So you guys often come out under the pretext of picking up parcels to steal the vegetables that others have worked so hard to grow," Yang Fan crossed his arms and squinted his eyes threateningly at the two ghosts, "and you still act like you guys are working so hard."

The two ghosts lowered their heads, too guilty to dare to speak.

Two ghosts stood at the door, waiting for Yang Fan to bring them the express delivery.

But she wouldn't give the express to them so easily.

Liang Zishu handed over something that looked like an ID card in his hand, "Please... Master, can you help me pick up the express delivery?"

They also told her that the courier ghost had to provide ID before picking up the package.

Yang Fan didn't answer, but instead brought up the issue of them stealing vegetables, "Since you destroyed the fruits of their labor, you should plant their vegetables back for them."

Liang Zishu and Jian Xiangdi looked at each other, then turned to look at Yang Fan and asked in unison, "How do we plant them back?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Go back and call back the ghost who stole the vegetables first, and then I will tell you how to plant them back." "But if we go back now, we can't come back today," Liang Xiangdi said, "We can only come back in five days."

A ghost can go to the underworld three times with the pickup information, but if he fails to get the package back on the same day, he can only wait five days before coming back.

This is a rule set to avoid congestion in the post stations.

Is this so...

Yang Fan stroked his chin and looked at the two ghosts carefully, then glanced at the full shelves at the back.

Suddenly an idea popped into her mind that these two ghosts had pure souls and gentle personalities, and were suitable to be her ghost slaves.

She remained silent, and the two ghosts became even more uneasy.

Liang Zishu thought, this master wouldn't want to use them as fertilizer to grow in the fields.

No!
Yang Fan turned his head to look at the two ghosts, and at a speed that the two ghosts had no time to react, he drew a talisman in the air. The talisman paper with golden light enveloped the man and the two ghosts.

A sail-shaped mark appeared on the two ghosts' heads, but soon disappeared.

The ghost slave contract was successfully concluded.

Although it was the first time for the two ghosts to experience this kind of thing, they could feel the changes in their bodies.

They were pulled and suppressed by a powerful force, and their appearance changed from hideous and terrifying ghosts to their appearance when they were alive.

They cannot see the changes on their own faces, but they can see the changes on others.

Liang Zishu pointed at himself and asked Yang Fan blankly, "Master, where are we?"

Yang Fan: "Oh, I have signed a contract with you. You will be my ghost slaves from now on."

Liang Zishu: "Ghost slave...what are you going to do?"

Yang Fan pointed at the courier next to him and said, "Work for me."

Liang Zishu's eyes went dark. If you are a human, you will be forced to work. If you are a ghost, you will be forced to work too.

This damn world!

At this time, the computer issued two "ding dong" prompt sounds. Yang Fan looked down and saw that there were two more messages from her below her message box on the computer desktop.

They are Liang Zishu and Jian Xiangdi, and their job titles are: courier.

Yang Fan raised the corners of her lips. It seemed that the post station also recognized the two employees she recruited.

They made her the webmaster here without her consent, so she followed suit and asked their own people to work here.

Jian Xiangdi was a little excited, "Then can we come out of the underworld every day?"

Yang Fan nodded, "From now on, the work here will be handed over to you."

Jian Xiangdi was ecstatic, that was great, he could travel freely between the underworld and the world of the living every day!
Liang Zishu, who was originally miserable about being forced to work again, also had the gloom in his heart swept away by this news.

After all, the world of the living is much more interesting than the world of the dead.

What if there is a chance to go home and visit someday!
Liang Zishu suppressed his excitement and asked carefully, "Then, Station Master, how much is our monthly salary?"

Yang Fan: "That's a good question. I want to know that, too."

God knows how much the monthly salary is here.
