Entering the abandoned office building, Little Taotie discovered there were many ghosts, and these ghosts were still working!
They seemed to be completely unaware that they had died and were still earnestly going to work.
Some of them greeted Little Taotie and the others.
Unaware of their own death, they only assumed Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan were relatives or children of that young executive in the company.
Only the young executive could bring children to work, as most people still had to leave their children with their in-laws.
"Whose children are you?" an enthusiastic middle-aged woman approached and asked.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan exchanged a glance.
Hua Jinyan chose to be the bad guy, to tell them the cruel truth, otherwise they would be trapped here endlessly.
The only way to liberation was through reincarnation.
They needed to know the situation they were in now.
Some ghosts, upon learning they had died and were now just spiritual bodies, were so shocked they couldn’t speak. But in their memories, there seemed to be a feeling of suffocation...
All the people here died from coal gas poisoning, suffering terribly at the time of death with difficulties in breathing.
A coal gas leak led to the death of everyone on duty that day at the company, and eventually the company moved away from here, considering the place unlucky. Later, someone bought it and resold it at a very low price.
"Am I really dead?" The middle-aged woman found it hard to accept and began to weep, covering her face.
Some started to ask about their own families, wanting to know how their loved ones were doing.
As soon as one made a suggestion, countless others agreed.
Beholding the ghostly spiritual bodies, Little Taotie hesitated, then nodded reluctantly, "Let’s visit them one by one."
Little Taotie called his big brother, seeking his help.
The big brother, an old acquaintance of the company’s boss, quickly obtained the personnel list, their detailed addresses, and the phone numbers of their emergency contacts.
Little Taotie took the middle-aged ghost to an apartment complex, her home, but when she reached the third floor, she became confused.
She used to be the owner of Unit 301, with its door a deep black color, but now it had been replaced with a vermilion color and a combination lock.
Could it be that after her death, her spouse was living a better life?
Right, she had died an accidental death; perhaps her spouse had received a large sum of insurance money.
Little Taotie approached the vermilion door and knocked gently.
After a while, no one answered.
Little Taotie had no choice but to be forceful, banging loudly on the door.
The nanny rushed over in a hurry. Seeing Little Taotie at the door, she exclaimed:
"Zaizai! A living Zaizai! That’s wonderful; I need to take a photo as a keepsake!"
After obligingly posing for dozens of photos, customer service concluded, or else Little Taotie believed the nanny fan would keep shooting endlessly...
"Auntie, I would like to inquire about a family that used to live here."
"They moved away; my boss bought this place."
"Do you know where they moved to?"
After pondering, the nanny recalled, "Seems like it was the place where his deceased wife passed away, close by, for him to visit easily."
The middle-aged woman’s tears flowed freely, overwhelmed with emotion.
When they finally found the new address after great difficulty, they were told the elderly person here had long passed away.
The middle-aged woman had been dead for over a decade. The once middle-aged couple were now old, but both had already been laid to rest in their coffins.
The middle-aged woman, stuck in the abandoned building and unable to reincarnate, had missed out on catching up with her husband, who had reincarnated much earlier.
The neighbors said her husband seemed to have a premonition before he died, saying, "I’ll see my wife soon, I need to catch up with her..." not knowing his wife was still in the abandoned office building.
After crying, the middle-aged woman had no more attachments and only wished to reincarnate quickly.
