Waking up, Da Chun felt sore all over.
The wailing of the crying ghost from yesterday still echoed in his mind, but it didn't matter. There were no major operations today.
Su Chen first checked his personal information and then inspected the white-clothed female ghost within his Ghost Painting. After using teleportation so many times yesterday, the white female ghost was nearly drained. Though still recovering, she remained in a lethargic state.
"A bit of a pity," he murmured, recalling what had happened yesterday. Despite defeating the building supervisor, he hadn't triggered any quests because he hadn't shown his face. He had lost quite a bit of experience points. However, the reward was still waiting for him in room 601.
"No rush. After all, the death of a building supervisor is a big deal in the community," Su Chen thought. He believed that Building 3 would soon hold elections for a new building supervisor. Some unscrupulous residents from other buildings would likely participate as well. But it didn't matter; with Red Bell around, they would learn what it meant to be haunted. All he had to do now was wait patiently for the right moment.
As he pushed open the door, the atmosphere in Building 3 had indeed changed. Even the old man from room 301 had opened his door, seemingly waiting for Su Chen.
"Young man, the community hasn't been too peaceful lately," the old man said. "Be careful." He gave Su Chen a deep look before closing the door.
Su Chen rubbed his chin. It seemed that his actions had escaped the security guard but not this old ghost. If he had the chance, he would eliminate him.
Making up his mind, Su Chen said to the closed door, "Thank you for the reminder, Grandpa. I'll be careful."
With that, he strode towards the elevator. Red Bell had already opened the door; it had become Su Chen's personal elevator.
"The building supervisor of Building 3 is dead," Su Chen informed Red Bell. "There might be ghosts from other buildings coming here recently. If they dare to come, find a way to control them until I get back."
He wasn't worried about the staircases. The downstairs ghosts attacked indiscriminately, fearless even of heavenly beings. Since the outsiders couldn't become building supervisors in their own buildings, it proved they were weaker than the current ones. Getting to the sixth floor through the stairs wasn't a simple task.
After finishing his thoughts, Su Chen arrived on the first floor. A man wearing glasses stood there. He had just come out and saw Su Chen exiting the elevator. Seeing Su Chen in the uniform of the convenience store, he nodded in a friendly manner and turned to leave.
"Liu Yin, the Eyeglasses Ghost," Su Chen muttered. He was a resident of room 101 with moderate strength in Building 3. However, he was very cunning and liked to plot and attack by surprise. After the death of the building supervisor, he would definitely want to compete for the position. But he couldn't do it alone; he would likely team up with other ghosts.
"No matter who you bring, if you dare to compete with me for the position, I'll kill you," Su Chen's eyes hardened, making Red Bell shrink back in fear. She fully understood how fierce Su Chen could be. When it came to plotting, Su Chen was the grandmaster. They probably still didn't know how the previous building supervisor died. If they did, they wouldn't be so greedy for the position.
"See that guy?" Su Chen said to Red Bell. "If he dares to enter the elevator, kill him."
"No problem," Red Bell nodded decisively.
"Time to go to work," Su Chen stepped out of the elevator. Back on Earth, he was a regular office worker. Now, in this world of horror, he still had to work, and he even had to repay loans.
"When will I achieve financial freedom?" he sighed and pushed open the gate.
The yard was still dark, and the crying ghost was still sitting on the chair. But when it saw Su Chen coming out of the building, it ran away without saying a word. It was him, the one who had carried crying ghost up the stairs yesterday and left him in front of a terrifying old man. The crying ghost had developed a severe psychological trauma towards Su Chen, fearing that he would take him somewhere else again. This employee of the convenience store was too terrifying.
"Am I that scary?" Su Chen asked, scratching his nose awkwardly. "It should be you who's scary," the crying ghost seemed to reply.
The crying ghost had a remarkably resilient life force and was difficult to kill. The scariest part was that the more you fought it, the more it cried, and if you were close to defeating it, its crying could be devastating. Su Chen suspected that only a top-tier red-clothed ghost could endure the crying ghost's final lament.
Before going to work, Su Chen took a detour to the gate. As expected, a battered and disfigured corpse hung there like a wind chime, surrounded by spectating ghosts. Under the body was a sign stating that the old man had severely damaged public property and must be severely punished.
Standing at the security room was a ghost with a crew cut, thick lips, big eyes, bushy eyebrows, and a square face. He was huge, standing at least two meters tall, with exaggerated muscles covered in countless unhealed scars. It was unclear how many battles this security guard had gone through. Most importantly, it looked very righteous.
Yes, Su Chen was shocked when he first saw it. He couldn't understand how a ghost could have such a strong sense of justice.
This was Da Chun, the strongest ghost in Xin'an Community, the security guard at the gate. He was also the most bizarre ghost Su Chen had ever seen in both his lives.
"Even his name is bizarre," Su Chen shook his head and walked away. He only needed to know that the Door-Opening ghost was dead.
Back at work, Su Chen was a bit absent-minded. Although the ghosts from other buildings should be weak, there was no guarantee. According to Su Chen, there were several ordinary residents in Xin'an Community who could compete with the gate-opening ghost. So, to be on the safe side, he knocked on the boss's office door.
"Come in," came the reply.
With permission, Su Chen entered the office. There was still the black coffin.
"Boss, I'm going to run for the position of building supervisor in Building 3," Su Chen said bluntly.
After a silent pause, laughter emanated from the coffin: "You? Forget it."
Su Chen was likely the only living person in Xin'an Community, and the Boss could feel it. It was a joke for a living person to become a ghost building supervisor.
"Boss, think about it," Su Chen hurried to say. "I'm an employee of your store. If I become the building supervisor of Building 3, imagine the prestige of having a building supervisor working in your store."
The coffin fell silent. Su Chen knew that besides being greedy, the Boss was also vain.
"For the election, all the Boss needs to do is send paper people to support me," Su Chen continued. "If it doesn't work out, the Boss has nothing to lose. But if it does, the Boss will gain immense prestige. Moreover, I'll give the Boss some extra gratitude privately."
After a long silence, the coffin spoke again: "I'll consider it."
"Go to work. I already know about your installment payments," the Boss said.
"Yes, yes, no problem," Su Chen quickly closed the door and left. Since the Boss said she would consider it, she had most likely agreed. With this, his confidence in running for the building supervisor position increased.
