This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 226 - Surprised? Surprise or not?

Jiang Luo originally thought that there would only be one "Lu Wu", but he found out that five out of ten of the next interviewees would be Chi You if they were good enough.

Each time he recognises Chi You's vest precisely, and then has the headache of finding various reasons to get rid of him. After a few times, not only does Jiang Luo himself become expressionless, with a dark aura of mischief on his brow, but the people to his left and right can't help but look at him with suspicion.

After Jiang Luo had eliminated yet another interviewee with an evil spirit, the leader smiled sarcastically and said, "Jiang, you're very strict today.

Jiang Luo braced himself for a smile and said, "It's the first day of the interview, so I'm not afraid to be strict."

Jiang Luo knows that if he continues to refuse, people will suspect him. But the Research Bureau is Jiang Luo's territory, and even if Jiang Luo and Chi You are lovers, he will not allow Chi You to interfere in Jiang Luo's territory.

During a break, Jiang Luo hid in the toilet and made a phone call to Chi You.

But the evil spirit didn't pick up the phone until it hung up at the end of a beep. Jiang Luo put the phone away in distress and turned around, only to run headlong into the evil spirit's chest.

The evil spirit lifted its hand up his spine and enveloped Jiang Luo in its embrace, "You were looking for me?"

The ghost of a ghost is intimate, slowly moving from Jiang Luo's waist to his neck, squeezing gently. Jiang Luo frowned and pointed his phone at the evil ghost, "Don't mess with me during the rest of the interview."

The evil spirit looked back at him innocently and said slowly, "I've been staying at home, why am I causing trouble for you?"

Jiang Luo said indifferently, "I don't care where you stay, another person who feels almost as good as you does will appear and the pot will be on your back."

The evil ghost sighed, "You are wronging me."

"You know whether you've been wronged or not," Jiang Luo smiled at him, "Tonight after the interview, bring the best car in your garage, we're going to treat Lu Youyi and the others to dinner tonight, I want to show off my wealth. "

The evil spirit immediately laughed, "Didn't you smash the good car into scrap metal?"

"......" Jiang Luo continued as if he hadn't heard him, "Dress yourself up in a fancy dress too, bring out your full form and don't embarrass me tonight."

Evil Ghost: "...... fancy dress?"

Jiang Luo raised his hand to check his watch, seeing that time was running out, and hastily slapped the evil spirit on the arm, "No more talk. Don't you forget what I explained."

After saying that, he left the bathroom with quick steps.

Left alone the evil spirits narrowed their eyes thoughtfully, "Showing off their wealth ......"

*

On the first day of the job fair, Jiang Luo barely managed to recruit five new colleagues with clean backgrounds amidst the mischief of evil spirits. Once the work is arranged, it's time to leave work.

The news that Jiang Luo and Chi You would be treating their friends tonight had already spread to their ears. They had been waiting for this "get-out-of-jail dinner" for a long time and were looking forward to it even before they got off work, and when they sent the leaders away, they cheered straight away.

Chi You told Jiang Luo that he would be a little late, so Jiang Luo and the others stayed inside the research bureau and waited.

A severed head ghost and a ginseng spirit are kept in the office of the Scientific Research Bureau. At this moment, Lu Youyi was pestering the ginseng spirit to put a drop of ginseng juice on Teng Bi's sword to help restore the remnants of Teng Bi's soul in the sword.

The little ginseng grunted in displeasure, "How many times have I told you that my ginseng juice won't do anything for your sword!"

Lu Youyi said cheekily, "Ancestor, you can give me another drop to try."

The little ginseng was about to say, "It's useless even if you call your father", when it saw Jiang Luo's eyes standing behind Lu Youyi, and it was so scared that it tearfully squeezed a drop of ginseng juice from its whiskers onto the big knife.

After the drops, the little ginseng looked at Jiang Luo pitifully, "Daddy, my ginseng juice really didn't work on it ......"

Jiang Luo was unmoved by the ginseng spirit's adorableness and turned to Lu Youyi and said, "I am already inquiring about the blood water of the female poisonous-tailed scorpion that I found in Shen Tucun. The blood water of the female poisonous tail scorpion has the effect of fixing the soul and nourishing the Yin soul, so when we find the blood water, we can put Teng Bi's remaining soul in it to warm it up."

Lu Youyi suddenly realized, "Is that the thing you used to save me at that time?"

Jiang Luo nodded his head.

When Jiang Luo first told the six families about the poisonous scorpion blood, the blood was divided among them and now they don't know where it has been shipped to. The poisonous tail scorpion is something that Chi You thinks is good, so Jiang Luo figured he might be able to get some back from the auction.

But when you think about it ...... that stuff is still his and Chi You's bath water ......

The corner of Jiang Luo's mouth twitched just as someone outside said, " Jiang Luo, Chi You is here."

The tone of voice was odd and somewhat incoherent.

"Lu Youyi, let's go," Jiang Luo said with a frown of relief, grabbing his jacket and heading out, "Let's eat first."

Lu Youyi followed quickly, rubbing his fists together, "I'm going to kill you tonight."

Jiang Luo came out to see that the others were blocking the main door of the Research Bureau, looking out in shock.

"Why don't you go out?" The corner of Jiang Luo's mouth curled up, wondering if Chi You had been showing off too much wealth, leaving everyone else stunned.

He walked over to take a look and the smile on his face froze.

The Scientific Research Bureau, because of its special nature, is located in the middle of nowhere, and few pedestrians pass around. The closing time here is also relatively free and loose, but these days work is so busy that the closing time is set to seven o'clock, plus they have been waiting for a while and it is already dark at this time.

At this moment, in front of the main gate of the Scientific Research Bureau, a line of miserable white sedan chairs is neatly lined up. The white tassels fall on the corners of the sedan chairs, which are as striking and somewhat eerie as paper sedan chairs in the slightly sullen sky.

Standing in front of and behind the palanquin are ghosts in heavy, eerie make-up, grinning stiffly at Jiang Luo and the others, revealing a mouthful of ominous yellow teeth.

Jiang Luo: "......"

Others: "......"

Jiang Luo: "...... Chi You 呢."

Hua Xiu stepped out from the other side of the palanquin, his red clothes finally bringing some liveliness to the white palanquin. The master is already waiting at the winery, so I've come to take you there in the sedan chair."

Jiang Luo took a deep breath, tried to put on a normal smile and turned back to the others, "Let's go, it looks like there will be quite a few surprises tonight."

Lu Youyi and the others were shocked for a moment, but after remembering that Chi You was an evil spirit and that such a scene seemed normal, they calmed down. When they heard Jiang Luo's words, they thought that the palanquin was specially prepared by Jiang Luo for them, so they went to the palanquin with great enthusiasm, walked around the palanquin several times and took several pictures with the ghosts carrying the palanquin before they excitedly got into the palanquin.

"Holy shit, this palanquin is so soft!"

Zhuo Zhongqiu asked casually, "Ye Xun, which sedan chair did you choose? The one on the left or the one on the right?"

Ye Xun looked the two sedan chairs over carefully with a torn expression, "...... Let me think about it."

Jiang Luo stepped aside alone with the Flower Beaver, " Chi You What do you want?"

The Flower Beaver snorted and said grimly, "How would I know what my master was thinking."

Jiang Luo's voice went cold for a moment, and he looked straight into Hua Xiu's vertical pupils, taking a step forward with a warning, "You really don't know? Hua Xiu, you'd better answer me quickly."

He pointed at Jiang Luo, his voice sharp to the point of harshness, "You nasty human, stay away from me!"

No one saw that, under the cover of the fox mask, the beaver's ears went red almost instantly.

Jiang Luo: "...... is sick."

It's true that with the kind of master you have, you have the kind of henchmen you have.

He turned and went back to his palanquin and sat down, and a minute later, the Flower Beaver jumped down from the tree and said in a cold voice, "Lift up the palanquin and go."

Sai Liaoer leapt out of the palanquin and shouted towards Jiang Luo's palanquin, "Jiang, what are we going to eat?"

Jiang Luo, who was sitting inside the palanquin without expression, "This is a surprise, you will know when we get there."

The palanquin swayed along as if it had been walking for a long time, but it didn't seem to have been walking for long. Soon Jiang Luo heard a coarse voice say, "Entry fee."

Jiang Luo's heart fluttered.

Could it be that they had come to a ghost town?

After a few moments, the palanquin was lifted again.

Jiang Luo opened the curtains of the palanquin and looked out, after telling the others in the group not to look out.

Under the darkness of night, green lights and red fires, all sorts of ghosts and ghouls walk the streets. The things sold by the roadside were even more bizarre and strange, anything and everything, with shopkeepers sitting in shadowy corners draped in black coats, their pairs of green eyes staring like wolves at the pedestrians on the street.

It really is a ghost town.

But not the ghost town of Fengdu.

The palanquin was carried all the way to a winery and Jiang Luo got out of the palanquin. The winery was brightly lit, and at the gate stood two rows of pretty women, pale but with bloodshot lips. As Jiang Luo and his party approached, they curled down in a single voice and said in unison, "Welcome to our guests."

They have a good voice, too, a sobbing, mournful voice, and their words of welcome are like a cry for the soul, making one's hair stand on end as one listens.

Jiang Luo: "......"

The last time this familiar feeling of embarrassment had appeared was when he was read a love letter by a hundred ghosts in public at the back of Lian's house.

By now, Jiang Luo was certain that this was definitely Chi You's intention.

Deliberately humiliating him, definitely provocative and vindictive!

Lu Youyi: "Wow, that's also..."

"That's one of the surprises," Jiang Luo interrupts with a smile, taking the first step into the winery, "Surprise? Surprise?"

What the author has to say.

Here we go!

Falling (sneering): Surprise, surprise, we're really screwing each other over all the time
