Malevolent Ghost Building.
This supernatural place was mysterious beyond measure in the eyes of countless employees.

It was highly abnormal.
Although Jiang Qiao had not noticed anything unusual, there had to be some major problem involved.

But...
Why do this?
Wasn't this just an utterly pointless extra step?
Why not simply stuff the oddity into the employee, let him soar straight to the Divinity Staircase, and then have
