I have delusions, and you want me to participate in a ghost story?

Chapter 176 Welcome the triumphant return of Xia Guo’s hero Zhou Xiaochuan

After arriving at the Ghost Story Handling Bureau, Zhou Xiaochuan saw a banner hanging in the house.

The banner read "Welcome the triumphant return of Xia Guo hero Zhou Xiaochuan."

In the center of the Ghost Story Processing Bureau, a table that was originally used to place monitors was placed on a ten-layer cake with Zhou Xiaochuan's name engraved on it.

Next to the cake, there are beer, white wine, rice wine, cola and other alcoholic beverages.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xiaochuan almost suspected that he had come to a hotel instead of the Xia Country Ghost Story Processing Bureau, which was responsible for protecting Xia Country and handling ghost stories in Xia Country.

And relatives and friends are celebrating their birthday!

But at this moment, in the Ghost Story Handling Bureau, there was only a young woman with a pretty face, shoulder-length hair, and wearing a black dress.

The young woman was originally lying on the table reading an online novel called "I have paranoia, you want me to participate in a ghost story?". She was stunned for a while before she realized that Zhou Xiaochuan had walked up to her.

She looked up with sleepy eyes, wanting to see who was coming, but when she saw Zhou Xiaochuan's face clearly, she stood up in panic.

She stood very straight, so she looked a little stiff and awkward.

In fact, she was feeling quite embarrassed now.

The light makeup on her cheeks suddenly turned red, and spread all over her face in an instant like oil stains on paper, making her look very shy and flustered.

"You...you...you are the chosen one of our Xia country, Zhou...Zhou Xiaochuan?"

She stammered and was a little afraid to look Zhou Xiaochuan in the eye.

Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled to see her so embarrassed.

"Uh... Miss, I am indeed Zhou Xiaochuan, who are you?"

She stammered, "I am the director's assistant, responsible for handling some miscellaneous matters for the director. My name is Shen Weichen, the director arranged for me to keep watch here. If you come, I will entertain you, and then, and then contact him.

You, please don't tell him that I'm slacking off, okay? I thought it was impossible for you to come to the Ghost Story Bureau at one in the morning, and there was nothing to do in the bureau right now, so I just read a novel...

By the way, I think this book "I have paranoia, you let me participate in ghost stories?" is very well written. It is a novel based on you, you. You can take a look.

Oh, you don’t seem to have time to read novels…hahahahaha…”

The tone of her voice was very nervous, with a hint of guilt and nervousness of being caught slacking off.

The time in the ghost story world is not synchronized with the time in the real world. When I left Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School, it was still daytime in the ghost story world.

Twenty-four hours had passed, but in the real world it was already one o'clock in the morning, which did make Zhou Xiaochuan feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Xiaochuan curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Director Ma about this kind of trivial matter. Even if I do, he won't care..."

Shen Weichen quickly bowed three times to Zhou Xiaochuan, which made Zhou Xiaochuan feel a little embarrassed.

"Well, you don't have to be like this. By the way, I remember that the last assistant director was not yours, right? Where is she?"

Shen Weichen said: "Oh, you mean her. The director felt that her professional ability was questionable and she always had a bad face, so he fired her."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded. The assistant director of the Ghost Story Processing Bureau was indeed unpleasant. She seemed to hold a grudge against her because he refused the deal with the original consciousness of the Ghost Story World. He was a little suspicious about how such a person got into the Ghost Story Processing Bureau. Could it be that she was after sex?

……

Less than five minutes later, Director Ma and Professor He of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau hurried into the bureau.

Professor He had dark circles under his eyes and eye boogers visible in his eyes, while Director Ma came out in his pajamas.

Obviously, neither of them got enough rest.

It is worth mentioning that the pajamas Director Ma wore were in the shape of a dinosaur, which was very cartoony.

This is somewhat inconsistent with his identity as a middle-aged uncle...

When Assistant Director Shen Weichen saw Director Ma's outfit, he pursed his lips tightly and looked at his toes. In just a few seconds, he thought about all the sad things he had encountered in his life.

Only then could I control myself and not laugh.

Zhou Xiaochuan, on the other hand, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ahem, Xiaochuan, why don't you sleep a little longer? We really didn't expect you to come here so late at night. You see, we were planning to hold a celebration party for you.

It is really not easy. We all feel thrilled when watching your weird stories. It is much more difficult than other people's weird stories.

It’s even harder than Professor Bryant’s ghost stories from the Lighthouse Country. He passed the ninth ghost story!
Not to mention that even if you clear the game, the world of ghost stories still won't let you go. Under such circumstances, you can still return to the real world safely. We all admire you very much."

Director Ma coughed twice softly to hide his embarrassment.

Professor He also said: "Yes, Xiaguo... No, many people around the world worship you as a hero. You don't know that some small countries even built temples to worship you.

For these small countries, they can no longer bear the impact of strange stories, but they did not expect that this time Lingjiang No. 2 Middle School had such a small impact on reality. Everyone thinks it is your credit.

We were just thinking about celebrating, but we didn’t expect you to come in the early morning…”

Zhou Xiaochuan said: "Uh... you, the director, Dean Lin, and Brother Electric Baton all told me to come to the Ghost Story Processing Bureau as soon as possible, so I came directly.

There's no need for a celebration party. I'm also a member of our Ghost Story Management Bureau, so there's no need to be so formal."

This is just a polite remark. The truth is that Zhou Xiaochuan really doesn't like this kind of social scene.

He can fight to the death in the world of ghost stories, but when faced with such social gatherings and celebrations in the real world, he really feels a little socially anxious.

"Xiaochuan, that's what I said, but in addition to celebrating your success, we are also hosting a party for the people in our bureau to relax, build relationships, and release some pressure.

Because of the many failures of Xiaguo's ghost stories before, and the imminent arrival of the ghost story world, many people are actually under great psychological pressure, and some people even have drastic changes in their temperament.

For example, the previous assistant, she was originally a gentle young person, but ever since her family failed in the last ghost story and were killed by the weird things that came into reality... Alas!

So I think it is necessary to hold a party so that everyone can relax.”

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded and changed the subject: "Let's talk about this later. I want to know what the big event in real life that you mentioned in your text message is. Why is it so urgent?"
