That term sounded familiar.
At that moment, Fu Qian was struck by just how rich today's horror genre was.
It wasn't exactly frightening, but the scene was undeniably bizarre. Everything seemed both real and unreal, leaving his brain feeling as if it were being massaged—
The Greedy Worms hadn't just taken over their target's office. They were even helping to hold down the fort?
Even as a mere Death Reflection, it still took some imagination to process.
Meanwhile, the receptionist had the right gender, and even her lines were right.
Even the claim that they weren't currently taking on business from the public matched what had happened when he'd come by to ask about it. Tooth Choker had indeed been the only Greedy Worm sitting in on the conversation.
Even that slightly bewildered look had the air of someone whose soul had been crushed by the daily grind. She was even more convincing than the original.
"Did she say the same thing when you came last time?"
Fu Qian looked at Selena, openly discussing the receptionist right in front of her.
"More or less, but she didn't have such a good excuse."

The reason Selena hadn't heard that excuse last time was simple: he hadn't yet visited the "escort agency," and the Tooth Choker in the outside world hadn't heard it either.
Laurie and the others had been keeping watch all along, but their behavior back then made it clear that, to avoid scaring anyone, they had never visited people
