Chihiro's work at the soup house went quite smoothly.
Because of Gu Yun's intervention, Qianxun's status has changed, and she is no longer a helpless little human girl.
This made Yubaba no longer able to manipulate her so casually.
The work in the soup house was very busy. After Gu Yun left, Qianxun calmed down and worked here for two days.
Time flows at different speeds in the next life and this life, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
The average is one to five, but that's just an average.
Even Gu Yun cannot control the flow of time in the afterlife.
If he hadn't specially given instructions to the female brat and had a big boss like Lao Zhasa watching over him, he wouldn't have dared to leave Qianxun in the soup house casually.
"Xiaoqian~~"
Xiaoling took two buns and handed one to Qianxun: "You did a good job today."
When I saw that Qianxun was a human girl, I thought she would be a little pampered, but I didn't expect that she would not be sloppy in her work at all.
"I'm impressed by you!"
Xiaoling was eating steamed buns, but she saw Qianxun looking at the sea in the distance. She asked, "Are you thinking about your little lover again?"
"I've said it many times, Gu Yunjun is just my classmate."
Qianxun's reaction was very ordinary. After all, the two of them were innocent, and the girl did treat Gu Yun as her brother.
"Well, let's just treat it like this."
Xiaoling feels that the relationship between Gu Yun and Qianxun must be unusual.
Otherwise, how could the other party risk the danger to come here to save her.
"Gu Yunjun, you are very powerful."
After staying in the soup house for a few days, Qianxun also learned the secrets of the world from Xiaoling.
This is after the underworld, the last journey of the soul.
Generally speaking, except for gods and souls, it is impossible for other things to come to this world.
Therefore, Xiaoling felt very incredible about Gu Yun's ability.
Moreover, Xiaoling also learned about Granny Yu's instructions through her own channels. She actually asked the people at the soup house to take care of Qianxun and not to embarrass this human girl too much.
In addition, Qianxun was able to find Grandpa Boiler and get his help before. It was obvious that there was an expert behind Qianxun's back.
But Xiaoling actually didn't have much expectations for Gu Yun's words that Qianxun would be rescued.
"We're turning out the lights, Ling."
"oh!"
The lights dimmed and Xiaoling also went to sleep, leaving only Qianxun sitting there alone.
She is waiting for Gu Yun and believes that he will definitely come.
"Go to sleep."
Chihiro, who is already a girl, is not as overwhelmed as in the original work.
Qianxun knew that what she had to do now was to play her role well and live peacefully in the soup house.
Gu Yun said he would save her, but now that he has disappeared, he must be looking for a way to save her.
Chihiro is not in a hurry.
In her opinion, the hot spring house, the hidden existence of gods, the afterlife, and the transformation of parents into pigs, all these things are too unbelievable.
Even if Gu Yun is very powerful, it will take time to solve these things.
So, the girl got into her quilt.
She did not cry, but closed her eyes calmly, and soon fell asleep.
The work of a hot spring house is exactly the opposite of human work and rest.
They sleep during the day and work at night.
Just because of the speed of time, the time when the devil comes is not fixed.
Fortunately, the laws of the afterlife protect the residents here.
Even if you can only sleep for an hour, as long as you sleep, you will be able to regain your energy quickly. This is the 'need'.
Just like gods coming here, they want to enjoy delicious food and hot springs.
Then the sky will not get brighter while they are still in the soup house.
Only when the gods leave will the staff of the soup house get off work and the time in the area where the soup house is located will return to normal.
So there is no need to worry about the time difference.
The laws here have their own set of rules. As long as they follow its will, everyone can adapt to the environment here.
As for how to identify who is a resident.
It's very simple. As long as you eat the food of the afterlife, you will become a part of this world and be protected and restricted by the laws.
"Wow~~"
As evening fell again, Qianxun helped Xiaoling and other employees in the same room tidy up the bedding.
The dark night was shrouded in dark clouds, and the pouring rain seemed to clean away all the filth in the world.
The lights on the street lit up one after another, and translucent black shadows began to emerge.
The green smoke in the shop curls up, and the tangy fragrance can be smelled even by Qianxun standing on the attic of the hot spring house.
"Dong dong dong~~"
After Qianxun mopped the floor, she took the basin and poured the sewage into the courtyard.
The girl raised her head and saw a vague figure standing in the yard. It was completely black and wore a white mask on its face. It was the faceless man who appeared in the original work.
The Faceless Man is a strange and mysterious monster.
It was born from the nothingness of human beings and represents the human self, self and true self.
The faceless man is very special. He does not exist in this world or other worlds. Even in the next life, he is an extremely rare species of monster.
As I said before, the afterlife is the last stop on the journey of all sentient beings, where they will abandon everything in their lives.
The abandonment here includes emotions, personality, memory, and knowledge.
And when a person does not have these, what is left is naturally a blank piece of paper.
The Faceless Man is a monster born from the concept of a blank sheet of paper.
It is very weak, but it can add various attributes to itself by swallowing other substances.
But because of his monster nature, the faceless man is not popular in the next life.
They have no personality and cannot speak.
In a place like a soup house where capital is paramount, a faceless man who cannot bring benefits has no value at all.
Yubaba only treats gods as guests. As for monsters like the Faceless Man, she has always turned a blind eye to them.
The hot spring house has a magic barrier that can block most of the filth.
Yubaba used her authority as a local administrator to enclose the land and become the king. Without her permission, no monsters or monsters could step across this line.
"Why are you standing in the rain?"
Qianxun didn't know about the faceless man and only regarded him as a guest in the soup house.
The gods here are all kinds of strange, and it’s no surprise what kind of posture they have. Although Qianxun has only been here for a few days, he is already used to it.
“…..”
The faceless man couldn't speak, so he could only nod slightly towards Qianxun, and then make a soft "ooh" sound.
"that…"
Qianxun stepped aside and opened the door a little: "You will catch a cold if you stand in the rain. Come in quickly."
invite!
This is the largest gate of Yubaba's magic barrier.
Just like humans and monsters in the real world, monsters can enter other people's territory when the owner of the house sends an invitation.
"wo~~"
The faceless man made a cry of unknown meaning. It remained calm, but felt the concern from Qianxun.
This is a feeling that the faceless man has never experienced.
It's strange, but it makes it yearn for it inexplicably, like a moth rushing to a flame, knowing that the flame is hot and deadly, but still wants to get closer.
