Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 329 All Rivers Flow into the Sea, Yin Virtue Soars (Bonus Chapter 2335)

After the obstacle left, cooperation between the Underworld and the Bureau of Investigation became smooth.

Or rather, Chu Xiu originally had some concerns about the three-day timeframe, but after Xiao Zhiyuan's outburst, he lost his confidence even if he wanted to bargain.

Of course, even if Chu Xiu really tries to bargain, Chen Xin will disappoint him.

After the deal was struck, the Bureau of Investigation packaged all the information about the Underworld and gave it to the Underworld as a form of advance payment.

This includes more than two hundred gray areas, more than thirty black areas, and five blood-red areas that the Bureau of Polling has already explored.

Of course, Chen Xin gained more than just that.

The Bureau of Poll also included information on which known areas are connected to which unknown areas.

Chen Xin was initially quite excited, but after he got his hands on this information, he realized something he had overlooked.

Knowing only information about the Yin-Yang region is not enough for him to send out the talisman there, nor can he use the Netherworld Path to reach the target location based on some written description.

Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to reach these dark and shadowy areas, he must use the Gray 76th District, which is connected to the dark and shadowy area of ​​the ancient town corresponding to the door of the 'photograph', as an anchor point to explore little by little.

This is equivalent to obtaining a treasure map, but the treasure is not on the map. To obtain the treasure, you have to find it yourself.

Chen Xin felt helpless, as if he had been tricked by the Bureau of Public Opinion Investigation.

He didn't take it to heart. He didn't believe that the Bureau of Investigation would only make a deal with the Underworld once. Perhaps later, he could get the Bureau of Investigation to trade away the information about the doors and rifts in their possession.

Putting the transaction aside, the good karma points that Yang Shi had given Chen Xin had already made him so happy that he no longer wanted to return home.

From 8 PM to midnight, Chen Xin gained a total of 30,000 points of Yin Virtue in four hours.

If the Bureau of Investigation's branch offices had a limited number of town-building supplies that couldn't be distributed to every frontline officer, the process could have been even faster.

Chen Xin was optimistic about this, because he knew that after this sudden incident, the Bureau of Investigation's attitude towards the town's items would change again, and more town's items would be deployed to various branches.

In the future, perhaps this kind of rapid accumulation of good karma will become the norm.

"It seems that I will have 150,000 points of Yin virtue by noon tomorrow, then I will seal one of the cracks."

Although he told the Bureau of Investigation that it would take three days, Chen Xin did not intend to deal with the three cracks together three days later.

Chen Xin has a very clear understanding of himself.

He is not a good person.

If an elderly person falls on the roadside and others do not help them up, they will have various thoughts about it later.

Chen Xin doesn't know how.

He won't feel guilty or have any other emotions because of this.

Compared to most people, Chen Xin was more indifferent in this regard.

But that doesn't stop him from reaching out to help when he encounters such a situation on one occasion.

It's the same this time.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Xin swung his reeds to pull a vengeful ghost to his side and smashed its head with a punch.

"A Yin-Yang level reed needs time to digest a vengeful ghost, but with the help of Qi and blood, it will be more efficient."

With that thought in mind, Chen Xin left and continued on to the next location.

While the Lord of the Underworld was busy exterminating wandering souls and vengeful ghosts, the underworld's messengers were also busy.

……

Xiangzhu City.

The office of the terminal novel website.

More than a dozen editors and chief editors were huddled in a conference room, trembling with fear.

"Qinghu, go check if that thing outside has left."

Editor-in-Chief He Linyou said to another editor next to her.

He Linyou is one of the seven chief editors of the terminal novel website. She has several senior editors and more than two hands of new editors under her.

Originally, He Linyou was quite satisfied with her position.

After all, I spend my days in meetings, and the rest of the time reading novels, occasionally giving pointers to junior editors, and feeling their gratitude and respect for me. It's all so comfortable.

But during this time, He Linyou felt a sense of crisis.

He heard through rumors that the website was going to optimize its internal organizational structure.

This includes a reassessment of the editor-in-chief.

The so-called re-evaluation means setting a three-month evaluation period for all editors-in-chief. Within three months, whoever has more successful authors under their supervision is considered to have better judgment.

The capable should rise, the incompetent should be removed, and a new editor-in-chief should be elected.

Upon hearing this news, He Linyou panicked.

In previous years, he had several top-tier authors who would come to him every time they started a new book. But in recent years, because of his "laissez-faire" policy, those top authors have all switched to other editors.

He Linyou didn't care about this, after all, having a few more top talents under an editor wouldn't increase their salary by much.

Instead of toiling away, it's better to just relax.

So now he can only feel bitterness.

In order to improve his own life, He Linyou came up with a good idea: to recruit some "talented people" from his editors before they knew about the "optimization"!

He had three goals in total, and things initially went as smoothly as he had imagined. The three editors, eager to please him, agreed to the task without much thought.

However, a problem arose when the authors handed over the work.

The newly minted author with over 10,000 subscribers, Nan Yu Ke, whom his editor Ye Chang had signed, didn't want to work for him!

How can this be?

He's the editor-in-chief, with plenty of resources at his disposal; he can easily boost subscriptions to even greater heights.

However, Nan Yu Ke just wouldn't follow!

This infuriated He Linyou. Then, he overheard another editor, Qinghu, telling him something.

Nan Yuke and Ye Chang have a good relationship. Perhaps Ye Chang deliberately embarrassed him.

He Linyou, who was already somewhat anxious about this, suddenly came up with a bold idea.

Ye Chang was kicked out of his group.

If Ye Chang leaves, the author resources under his command cannot be taken away from the group. In this way, the author resources under Ye Chang's command can be redistributed.

And so, tonight's meeting came about.

Ye Chang was kicked out by him, and the process was not pleasant.

After Ye Chang left, in order to appease the other editors under her command, He Linyou generously 'divided' all the recommendation resources she had in her hands equally.

Since we're going to have to re-elect them anyway, and these resources will just go to waste if we keep them, we might as well try to win them over.

The recommended resources are linked to the interests of the authors and editors, so once He Linyou distributed the resources, Ye Chang, the senior editor who left in anger, became less important.

What no one expected was that just a few extra hours of meetings, and ordering McDonald's fast food delivery in the conference room because they missed lunch, would lead to a scene that terrified everyone.

When the food delivery arrived, an editor went to pick it up, and it took five minutes.

Unable to wait any longer, He Linyou was about to send more people out when he saw a horrifying scene through the open conference room door.

The editor who was just sent out is now pacing around the office with his head in his hands.

As they walked, they kept saying, "Who ordered takeout? Your takeout has arrived..."

It seems they are looking for the place where the takeout they are supposed to deliver to.

This scene stunned everyone. Some screamed, some had their legs go weak, and some slammed the conference room door shut.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Your takeout has arrived. Please come and sign for it."

The voice was familiar to them, but having witnessed what had just happened, how could they believe it?

Moreover, despite being 1.8 meters tall, his voice came from about 1.2 or 1.3 meters.

That position, isn't it the position of the head that's being held in someone's hand?
For a moment, the office was completely silent; everyone held their breath. As the footsteps faded into the distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began dialing the police.

It took a full five minutes to finally get through, but all I got was "waiting for rescue".

This wait lasted for two hours.

There were no people around, not even the sound of police sirens could be heard.

The only thing that could be heard outside the meeting room was the "deliveryman" who kept his head in his hands, searching for the "customer".

After agonizing for half an hour, finally, one of the bolder people decided not to stay in the meeting room any longer. He decided to try to avoid the 'deliveryman' and escape from the company.

Because one side of the conference room was made of frosted glass, although people couldn't see clearly what was happening outside, they could still see some shadows.

Just as the colleague disguised as a 'deliveryman' passed through the conference room again, walking along the frosted glass to the other end, the bolder one simply opened the door and rushed out.

Everyone peered through the crack in the door in the direction the warrior had fled.

I felt both apprehensive and expectant.

As long as one person escapes, they will all have a chance.

In less than ten seconds, that powerful man rushed to the company entrance, while the 'outsider' colleague was still inside the office.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the first warrior escape.

Immediately afterwards, a second person stood at the door, waiting for the right moment.

At this point, no one was competing with him for the second spot.

One success isn't enough; they need to try several more times before they can believe it's a mature solution.

By then, perhaps there will be no more gentlemen.

Just after the 'deliveryman' colleague passed by the door again, the second person opened the door and rushed out.

Everyone's eyes followed again, and just as the second warrior rushed to within ten meters of the gate, an unexpected event occurred.

The first warrior who rushed out of the gate has returned.

She came back, holding his head in her arms.

The second warrior saw that scene and immediately braked, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Then, to the horror of everyone in the conference room, the first warrior gave his head to the second warrior, then put the second warrior's head on his own head and left through the door.

The second warrior, carrying the head of the first warrior, began to wander around the office.

A new generation of food delivery workers has emerged.

Fear and repression permeated the meeting room.

Unable to bear it any longer, He Linyou remained silent for more than ten minutes before telling her editor, Qinghu, to go out and take a look.

Qinghu was the most obedient editor under him, and he would do whatever he was asked to do. Therefore, He Linyou trusted Qinghu a lot when he told him what Ye Chang had said.

However, He Linyou clearly overestimated her position in Qinghu's heart.

"Go look your ass! Why don't you go look, you idiot? If you hadn't dragged us into this meeting, if you hadn't wanted the author resources under Ye Chang, would we be stuck here?"

Seeing Qinghu's ferocious expression, He Linyou was about to lose her temper when she noticed the gazes of the others directed at her.

Anger, resentment.

He Linyou immediately stopped speaking.

He then remembered the state of affairs they were in.

Between life and death, what distinction is there between high and low, noble and base!
"I've only been out of school for two years, I don't want to die, sob sob..."

A female editor's suppressed sobs suddenly broke the silence, irritating yet also evoking a sense of melancholy.

Within two minutes, a second cry rang out, followed by a third and a fourth.

Just as the fifth one was getting ready, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, your takeout has arrived. Please sign for it."

The crying stopped abruptly, but the knocking on the door continued.

"Hello, your takeout has arrived. Please sign for it."

"Hello, it's almost midnight, my order is about to expire, please sign for your takeout."

The knocking on the door became more urgent, and even turned into a banging sound.

But inside the meeting room, no one dared to sign for the takeout.

Suddenly, the sounds outside stopped.

He Linyou glanced at the watch on her wrist, which cost tens of thousands of Daxia coins.

The time had just passed a dozen seconds past midnight.

"Does that mean we have to leave if the time is up?"

Just as He Linyou was making some delighted guesses, a series of thuds came from the glass wall on the other side of the conference room.

It's smashing the wall!
The faces of everyone in the conference room were deathly pale.

Several female editors immediately started screaming.

One of the male editors couldn't take the shock and, with red eyes, rushed toward the conference room door, but was stopped by several other editors who reacted quickly.

In an instant, the conference room descended into chaos.

Just then, with a crash, the wall broke down.

Something hit the wall opposite the glass wall and bounced onto the conference table.

He Linyou looked up and saw the thing on the table.

"Your takeout has arrived..."

Seeing the head grinning at him, He Linyou shouted and rushed out of the broken wall with the others.

There were only two deliverymen, but ten people rushed out.

In this chaotic situation, half of the people actually managed to reach the gate.

Before they could even show their joy, they saw the 'real' deliveryman standing outside the door, wearing a delivery uniform and carrying a delivery box.

The head of the first warrior was found in that deliveryman's box.

"Do you also take delivery orders?"

As soon as she finished speaking, He Linyou saw the head of the female editor at the front fall off her neck and be caught by her own hands.

Turning around, the female editor said with a smile, "Hello, your takeout has arrived. Please sign for it."

"what!"

The remaining four people, including He Linyou, screamed in terror and turned to run away.

But behind them stood seven deliverymen, only two of whom were holding their heads in their hands.

Pfft!
All four of them collapsed to the ground, limp and exhausted.

At this moment, their minds were blank, devoid of any thoughts.

Just as the four were about to give up, a sound like a whip cracking through the air rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the real deliveryman at the door was tied up with a rope.

Then, a figure passed by the real deliveryman and rushed towards the other deliverymen.

Wherever it passed, ashes flew and flames ignited.

As the flames subsided and wisps of smoke rose, He Linyou finally saw the figure clearly.

"Ye Chang!"
