Lin Yingying had just graduated from university not long ago.
As a newcomer, Lin Yingying worked very hard, often working late into the night.
Lin Yingying works in an eight-story office building, and her office is on the fifth floor.
The third floor of the office building houses the staff canteen, which provides three meals a day for all units in the building. Of course, it's not free, but it's much cheaper than eating outside.
Of course, that's not the point.
The important part is on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is a large hall used for storing miscellaneous items, including tables, chairs, sofas, coffee tables, and other items that have been replaced by various departments.
Under normal circumstances, few people go to the fourth floor. Only warehouse staff will go there once or twice a month, but they only take a quick look through the elevator.
The problem lies with the elevator.
The elevator in Lin Yingying's workplace automatically opens once every fourth floor, stopping briefly on the fourth floor regardless of whether there is anyone there.
The maintenance personnel checked the elevator but found no problems. However, the elevator buttons on the fourth floor were used much more frequently than those on other floors, even though the fourth floor buttons should be the least used.
After several unsuccessful inspections, the office building's property management stopped taking it seriously. They figured it was just a temporary stop and wouldn't cause any real problems; they couldn't very well replace the elevator just because of this.
This situation has been going on for almost three months. Over time, people working in the office building have gradually gotten used to it and just assumed it was an elevator malfunction, so no one took it seriously.
However, the young owner of a decoration company on the sixth floor, upon learning of this, immediately canceled the lease on the room he had rented for less than a month. He left without taking any of the company's Computer, printers, or other belongings, and even Haste his Jindu.
Many people even speculated that the boss might have committed some crime and absconded.
The story circulated among the building residents for a while. After all, the West City worth a lot of money, and it was really strange that they would just throw them away like that.
That day, Lin Yingying worked overtime until after 11 p. m. as usual.
As usual, she pressed the down button. The elevator rose from the first floor to the fourth floor, paused for a few seconds, and then reached the fifth floor.
The building was empty, but Lin Yingying was already used to this situation, so she didn't think much of it.
I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and it began to descend.
When we reached the fourth floor, the elevator stopped again, just like always.
Logically, the elevator should automatically close a few seconds after it opens at this point.
This time, however, the elevator stopped halfway through closing, as if it had been jammed by something, then it automatically opened again and closed once more.
But it gets stuck halfway through closing.
This situation usually only occurs when something is stuck in the elevator doorway.
But there was West City in front of him.
"This lousy elevator!" Lin Yingying kicked the elevator door.
I simply stepped out of the elevator on the fourth floor and prepared to walk down the stairs, since it was only the fourth floor and it wouldn't take much Kung Fu Hustle to walk down.
Lin Yingying was a little nervous at this moment, after all, it was too dark all around, there was no light at all, and the only sound in the corridor was her footsteps.
She could only use her phone's flashlight to illuminate a small area in front of her, which made her quicken her pace.
But when Lin Yingying went downstairs, she didn't see the familiar restaurant on the third floor.
What comes into view are dilapidated tables, chairs, benches, sofas, and coffee tables.
The red sofa in the middle, in particular, stands out strikingly.
At this point, Lin Yingying already sensed something was wrong; this was clearly not the third floor, but the fourth-floor storage room.
But she clearly went down one floor just now. Could it be that I misread the floor and came down from the fifth floor?
So Lin Yingying ran to the stairwell again and went downstairs.
But after going down one floor, what came into view was still a storage room.
Dilapidated tables, chairs, and benches, and a striking red sofa in the middle.
At this moment, Lin Yingying realized that she had encountered a strange event.
In recent years, strange events have occurred frequently, but most of them cannot be verified.
Lin Yingying hadn't believed in these things before, but now Lin Yingying was genuinely afraid.
This left her stunned, unsure of what to do.
Just then, the sound of high heels suddenly came from the direction of the elevator.
The footsteps were crisp and slow, the clicking sound echoing in the corridor. Judging from the sound, they were getting closer and closer to Lin Yingying.
Lin Yingying stared wide-eyed, but still couldn't see anything.
She could pinpoint the location from which the sound came, but the area was empty; there was nothing there.
At this moment, Lin Yingying didn't even dare to breathe. Her whole body was tense, and her heart was pounding like a drum.
The sound of high heels walked past her, stopped at the red sofa, and then fell silent.
Lin Yingying knew that she absolutely could not look back at the sofa at this moment, so she kept her head down and walked forward, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
The elevator doors had closed again, and it seemed to have returned to normal, so she walked towards the elevator.
Because she was afraid of disturbing something, Lin Yingying walked very slowly, trying not to make any noise.
But everyone has curiosity, and just as Lin Yingying was about to reach the elevator, she couldn't resist and secretly glanced back at the sofa.
That one glance sent a jolt through her heart, her pupils dilated and then contracted, before she froze, falling straight down.
When she woke up, she was already in the Underworld, in Ling Yi's office.
The souls of those who died unjustly are special souls, requiring Ling Yi to handle them personally and arrange for their transmigration.
"The last thing I saw was a long-haired woman whose face was half completely rotten, and then I ended up here."
Lin Yingying said, still shaken.
"This woman's name is Qu Feifei. She's a pitiful woman, and she didn't mean to scare you."
"..."
"This is a vengeful spirit; because its resentment has not subsided, it does not wish to Enter the Underworld."
"W-what resentment?"
Ling Yi flipped through the records on the Computer and said, "Three months ago, Qu Feifei won a big lottery prize of Wu Bai."
"It was precisely this Wu Bai prize money that brought her death."
" Qu Feifei's original plan was to use the Wu Bai to buy two houses, one for her and her boyfriend's wedding and one for her parents."
"But this arrangement greatly displeased her boyfriend, who felt the money should be given to him to start his own business. As a result, the two had a big fight that night, and Qu Feifei stormed out of the house and went straight back to the company."
"The design company upstairs from you."
" Hongfei Design?"
"Yes! She and her boyfriend started this company together, but it's not doing very well; it's barely surviving."
"Her boyfriend was an extremely selfish and scumbag. Faced with Wu Bai, he became greedy and chased her to her workplace that very night, where he killed Qu Feifei."
"How could there be such a person?" Lin Yingying exclaimed angrily.
"Afterwards, this person wrapped Qu Feifei's body tightly in a plastic bag, then wrapped it with countless layers of tape, and sewed it into the red sofa. Under the pretext of exchanging the sofa, he placed the red sofa in the storage room on the fourth floor."
"No way, once the corpse starts to smell, won't it be discovered very quickly?"
"It's well-sealed; as long as no one touches it, it'll basically go unnoticed. But to just leave it there like that—this kid is really careless."
"This sister is so pitiful!" Lin Yingying said sympathetically.
"Wouldn't it be better if she could be reincarnated after she reaches the Underworld?"
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "It might have been possible before, but now, from the moment she refused to Enter the Underworld and chose to become a vengeful spirit, she lost her qualification to Enter the Underworld."
So, what's the reason?
"Therefore, she only has two paths awaiting her: either become a powerful vengeful spirit and live on, or be utterly destroyed."
"How so?"
Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "This is her own choice. Now, it's time for you to make your choice."
"What should I choose?"
Ling Yi pointed to the notice board on the wall, "Go see for yourself!"
A moment later, Lin Yingying ran over excitedly and asked, "Can I really choose the world I want to go to?"
Which world do you want to go to?
" In the Legend of Sword and Fairy, I want to be Lin Yueru."
"The world of Legend of Sword and Fairy is fine, but forget about Lin Yueru."
Where is Caiyi?
" Caiyi's fate isn't good!"
"I just won't save Liu Jinyuan."
"Even if you don't save Liu Jinyuan, you'll be captured by the Sword Saint and imprisoned in the Demon -Demon Locking Tower sooner or later. He even captured Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nüwa, let alone a butterfly spirit?"
"Yes, then let's go with Anu!"
Ling Yi shook his head again and said, "I have a suggestion for you. A maid on Spirit Island can give you a Monster-Slaying Level-Up System. You can gradually become stronger on your own."
"There's even a cheat code?" Lin Yingying asked in surprise.
"Others don't have it, but everyone who comes to me has this privilege."
"You just want to change the tragic ending, don't you? Even if you become Lin Yueru, Caiyi, or Anu, it will be difficult to change their fate. Once you have the power, everything will be easier to discuss."
After a moment's thought, Lin Yingying nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
Ling Yi typed on the Computer for a long time, and after pressing the Enter key, a Transmigration Passage appeared in front of Lin Yingying.
"Can I come back?" Lin Yingying asked.
"Perhaps!"
Ling Yi frowned as he watched Lin Yingying disappear.
The Lin Yingying incident is not an isolated case; such incidents will only increase in the future.
In the mortal realm today, the days are extremely yang and the nights are extremely yin. During the day, ghosts and Ghost dare not move, but at night... it seems that ordinary people will be unable to go out in the future.
Fortunately, many Daoist Daoist School still exist and have been passed down in the mortal realm.
If one could find the Place of Convergence, perhaps a Legend could be created.
However, now is not the time for Ling Yi to interfere in the mortal realm. He needs to figure out some things before deciding how and when to take action.
