Just like people with good looks should not die in mediocrity, blind people should not die under the scorching sun.
The author of this book is unknown, the ending is unknown,
As most people do not get the results of their lives.
That's all. 】
——Excerpt from "Morrow".
July has already begun to heat up, but there is always traffic and crowds around the business district and office buildings, and they have not retreated half a bit because of the scorching temperature.
Editor-in-Chief Lin is sorting out the invalid manuscripts in the office.He is about 50 years old, with a fat belly, and it is inevitable that he is a bit powerless to do such physical work as carrying. Even though the air conditioner is turned on in the room, his back is still sweaty from exhaustion.
It was originally a modest online literature company, but due to some reasons, it is now on the verge of bankruptcy.Editor-in-Chief Lin fired most of the staff, leaving only one assistant, and planned to clean up the place and close the business as soon as possible.
The assistant didn't really want to change jobs. Panting, he put a box of photocopied documents weighing several dozen catties on the floor, then sat up on it, and fanned the air with the hem of his clothes: "Editor-in-Chief, are you really planning to just close the door like this? Really? No way, recruit some new authors and accept a few manuscripts with potential, maybe they can turn around."
"Fart!" Editor-in-Chief Lin was originally a literary person, but now he rarely swears, "Look at anyone who dares to submit an article now, they all say that I have a hard life! I want to kill the author! Whoever submits an article to me will be punished!" Will die! Which one will gamble with his own life when he is full?"
The assistant stammered and laughed: "That's because they maliciously slandered you, although...although it's a bit of a coincidence..."
Editor-in-Chief Lin had a good time back then, and there were many great writers under him, but for some reason, those authors suddenly died one after another strangely, as if they were cursed.
It’s okay to die one or two, but a lot of people died one after another, and no one will believe it.
The assistant didn't know what to think of, and sighed: "Ms. Jiang is on vacation abroad, and she hasn't written a manuscript recently. Mr. Sang went on a sea trip some time ago, and accidentally drowned."
He actually wanted to say that he was killed, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Editor-in-Chief Lin glared at him: "How do you know you drowned? What if he died by himself?!"
The assistant agrees against his will: "It's also...it's not impossible, after all, Mr. Sang is quite handsome..."
While they were talking, they heard a slight knock on the door suddenly.Editor-in-Chief Lin looked up subconsciously, but saw a furry head protruding out of the glass door, and asked a little shyly, "May I ask if you are recruiting staff here?"
He held a crumpled recruitment notice in his hand, which looked like it had been forcibly ripped out from a wall or a telephone pole.
Editor-in-Chief Lin remembered that some time ago, he had to sort out too many manuscripts, and he was a little too busy, so he posted a recruitment notice outside to find a clerk, but forgot to tear it up.
He stood up, patted his head, and rebuffed perfunctorily: "Sorry, we are closed here, and we don't recruit employees."
"Huh? Is the door closed?"
Hearing the words, the man outside the glass door finally revealed his figure.He stood outside the door, scratching his hair in a daze. He never imagined that he was just a human being on his first day, and he hit a wall when he was just looking for a job: "Are you really not recruiting employees?"
He remembered that when he bound the first host, the company was still thriving and business was booming.
Editor-in-chief Lin was about to say no, but the assistant suddenly tugged at his sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice, "Editor-in-chief, there are a lot of manuscripts waiting to be screened in the warehouse, why don't you hire a temporary worker first, and finish the work after this time?" Say it again."
Although their company closed down, there is still a backlog of many old manuscripts, some of which need to be returned to the original place, and cannot be sold as scrap. It is really not enough to rely on two people——
In particular, editor-in-chief Lin doesn't like to work overtime, and has to go to the park to do square dancing every night.
Editor-in-chief Lin thought about it when he heard the words, and narrowly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.He raised his eyes to look at the applicant in front of him, looked him up and down, and saw that he was a young man with slightly curly black hair, his smiling face looked very clean, and there was a small smile on his right cheek. His dimples are tall and handsome, and he is a handsome milk dog guy who is very popular at the moment.
Editor-in-Chief Lin thought that it would be great to be in the entertainment industry because he is so handsome, so why can't he think about applying in this place: "Let's talk about it first, we only recruit temporary workers here for two months, why don't you do it?"
The young man immediately nodded his head when he heard the words, looking very happy: "Dry it!"
Editor-in-Chief Lin thought to himself that he looked like a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, and he did it without even asking about his salary.He took out the USB flash drive from his jacket pocket, sat down at the computer desk and began to edit the contract: "Okay, come in and fill out a form first. What's your name? How old are you? Education?"
The young man sat across the table, heard him ask his identity information, grabbed his hair, thought hard before saying: "My name is Little King Kong."
"What?" Editor-in-Chief Lin paused when he heard the words typing on the keyboard, and for a moment suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What did you say was your name?"
Seeing his expression, the young man couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, he hesitated and lowered his head, his white ears were red, and finally whispered three words: "My name is Little King Kong..."
Isn't this name a bit strange in the human world?
Editor-in-Chief Lin was getting old, so he couldn't help being a little deaf. He frowned while holding his glasses and asked, "Xiao Jinang? Is it these words?"
He turned the computer around and showed it to the other party.
The young man stared at the words on the computer, frowning and lost in thought.
Three seconds later...
"Yes, that's right, my name is Xiao Jin'ang."
The young man shook his feet happily under the table, resisting the urge to turn around, feeling that this name sounds much better than Little King Kong~
Editor-in-Chief Lin didn't think too much, and skillfully signed a part-time contract: "As you can see, our place is about to close down, and I can't give you a high salary for a month, three thousand and five, not including food and lodging, just sitting there every day Just filter the data."
Little King Kong... oh no, he should be called Xiao Jinang now, he nodded when he heard the words, and said unexpectedly easy: "No problem, no problem."
Editor-in-chief Lin couldn't bear to cheat him when he saw this: "Forget it, seeing that you are young, I will pack lunch for you in the company in the future. This is a draft contract. You can check if there are any problems, and if there are no problems, sign it. By the way, you Print out your ID card for me."
ID card?
Xiao Jinang knows this thing, everyone in the human world seems to have it.He was wearing a white hoodie today. He lowered his head and pretended to rummage in his pockets, and then used energy in a place where no one else could see, and quietly transformed into an ID card.
Xiao Jinang handed both hands to the editor-in-chief, smiling: "Hi, this is my ID card."
Anyway, he was just a temporary worker, and Editor Lin didn't ask too carefully. He signed two contracts and finalized the job, then pointed to the mountain of scattered materials in the corner and said, "See, first put the pile of papers in accordance with the The author's name is classified into categories, and then returned to the original address."
Yuba added another sentence: "You are not allowed to leave work until you finish."
When the assistant heard this, he looked at Xiao Jin'ang with a hint of sympathy: Lin Bian was once again incarnating and exploiting the small employees. With so much information, don't even think about leaving until dark.
Xiao Jinang didn't think much, and immediately sat down at the table and began to sift through the mountains of documents, looking diligent and serious.Editor-in-Chief Lin stared at the side for a moment, then turned around and entered the private office next to him——
Just kidding, I have hired temporary workers, why do it yourself, it's important to get a good night's sleep.
The assistant had to go to refund the rent of the office building, so he greeted Xiao Jinang and went downstairs, leaving him alone in the office area.
Xiao Jinang looked up secretly, and found that Editor Lin was lying in it sleeping, a white light flashed at his fingertips, and his index fingers of both hands pressed against his temples, and then he closed his eyes to enter the document data.
【Ding!Starting to read data...read done. 】
【Start classification】
【Categorizing...】
Fortunately, the monitoring system in the office was broken, otherwise Editor-in-Chief Lin would have a heart attack when he woke up and saw mountains of papers flying all over the floor automatically.Xiao Jinang cheated with energy, and quickly sorted out the pile of documents, sorting them neatly.
So what to do next?
Xiao Jinang scratched his head, suddenly remembered his mission goal this time, turned on the light screen, and saw a short text written on it:
[Selected works this time: "Morrow"
Save the Villain Goal: Tomorrow
Author name: unknown
Ending message: Sorry, data is missing and cannot be read. 】
According to the conventional procedure, Xiao Jinang should now find the author of the book "Tomorrow", appear at the time and space node when the other party is on the verge of death, and bind the other party to save the villain.
However, in view of the fact that all the hosts he bound before did not choose to return to the real world, resulting in a greatly reduced energy reward after the mission was successful, Xiao Jinang's remaining energy is no longer enough to revive anyone, not to mention that this book does not even have authorship. is unknown.
Now Xiao Jinang had no choice but to turn into an adult, roll up his sleeves and go on stage to do the task himself.But after all, he was a novice and had no experience. Thinking of this year's performance indicators, he lay on the table and thought for a while, and finally used the little energy left to recruit a group of authors.
So at the same time, in different time and space, all the hosts who have been bound by Little King Kong suddenly popped up a notice to join the group——
【Ding!The system Xiaojingang sent you an invitation to join the group, do you accept it? 】
The authors: "...???"
Because of the distance across time and space, it is inevitable that there will be a lag when the news comes.Xiao Jinang waited for a long time, seeing that the number of people in the group was still loading, he put away the chat box for the time being.
He tilted his head and looked out the window. The clouds had gradually darkened, and the haze was approaching, which seemed to be a sign of rain.Editor-in-chief Lin was still sleeping in the office, snoring loudly.
Xiao Jin'ang finished the work at hand, originally wanted to talk to him, but saw that he was sleeping, so he gave up the idea.Quietly packed up his things, closed the door and left the office building——
While he is learning how to survive in the human world, it is time to find the villain who is waiting for him to save.
A blind...poor old man?
It is a story that is unknown and has never seen the light of day.
Then it was thrown on the side of the road on a wet and dark rainy night, slowly submerged and soaked in the sludge of the sewer, and gradually melted into a warm spring day together with the mottled bloodstains on the pages of the book.
Just like people with good looks should not die in mediocrity, blind people should not die under the scorching sun.
