~7 min read 1,247 words

The Hao family came to take measurements, naturally also including Xie Shiyu's wedding attire.

So Xie Shiyu also didn't go to the company, and sent the family's driver to the airport to pick someone up.

Besides the phoenix crown and rosy robes, the wedding attire also included the couple's toast outfits.

This time the Hao family came, they also brought Tushan Jiu samples of the toast outfits and other clothing styles for them to pick from.

Tushan Jiu picked the style she liked and finalized it.

She spent the whole morning on this.

After that, Tushan Jiu arranged a meal for the Hao family, but they declined, saying they were heading straight back because their grandmother was still waiting at home.

Yi City is not far away, and flights are available at any time.

Tushan Jiu didn't insist on keeping them, and had the driver take them to the airport again.

After completing another wedding preparation task, the remaining time became quite ample.

In the afternoon she met up again with Wang Dongqing and the others, and that evening Xie Shiyu took Tushan Jiu abroad to N Country to see the aurora.

This month is just the right time to see the most beautiful scenery.

They played for several days, and as a couple they felt no amount of time together was enough.

However, Tushan Jiu had to report for duty, and Xie Shiyu also had work to attend to, so they played until the day before flying back.

As for whether they would have no time to go out in the future, the answer is definitely that they will not lack time to go out.

First, the office is inherently not a very busy unit, and its annual leave is not like that of a mortal unit, which only has about ten days.

Their annual leave amounts to a full month.

Even though she hasn't started work yet, she has already scheduled her annual leave; adding the half‑month wedding leave, she can fully enjoy a carefree time with Xie Shiyu and go wherever she wants.

So, honestly speaking, this position is still quite relaxed.

Moreover, when there are no cases, they can completely arrange their own time.

Because the office used to be like this, except for the clerks who work fixed shifts.

Now the system has changed to team‑based work; as long as your task is done, the remaining time is, in four words, freely arranged.

But there is one requirement: the equipment must be kept on 24 hours a day.

Because after all, it deals with supernatural incidents, and most ghosts prefer to come out at night.

The day arrived for reporting to the office.

Because everyone was already so familiar, it felt just like returning home.

The four of them happened to run into each other at the gate, quite in sync.

Wang Dongqing no longer wore the delivery uniform, but changed into the uniform.

The other three were the same.

On the first day of work, there is an initiation ceremony, so the four were notified to wear a full set of black uniforms.

Looking closely, the eight‑trigram pattern on the chest appears to be spinning rapidly, corresponding to the huge eight‑trigram mirror above the gate of the Nan Cheng office, echoing each other.

Gou Dan opened the gate for them, clasped his fist toward the four, and said, "Welcome to the Nan Cheng Office."

It was very official wording, but also quite formal.

The four walked through the gate and entered.

Although this road is very familiar, today the four walking along it indeed felt different in mind.

From today onward, their shoulders bore an additional thing: responsibility.

The annual welcoming ceremony is an indispensable process.

This year the office is especially lively.

As a star figure in the metaphysical world, Tushan Jiu was immediately surrounded.

She asked her three close friends and teammates for help, but they all said they were unable to assist.

On the first day on the job, the little boat of friendship capsized.

After enduring the enthusiasm, Lin Xiu'er took charge of their onboarding and led them to her own office area.

"Here, this is your office area; everything has been tidied up. See what's missing, buy it yourself, then submit for reimbursement."

Wang Dongqing raised his hand and asked, "Sister Xiu'er, how do we take on cases? Do we wait for assignment, or is it some other format?"

Lin Xiu'er raised her brows and told them, "Supernatural incidents aren't that many to begin with; we wait for the system to randomly assign them. In a moment it will send you a QR code; scan it to download the system, and when a task comes it will notify you there. After you accept a task, the system won't dispatch new ones during the investigation."

Xiang Yichu raised his hand.

Lin Xiu'er raised her brows, indicating he should speak.

"Is there any performance metric?"

Hearing his question, Lin Xiu'er smiled and nodded, "Smart; otherwise the netherworld wouldn't have switched to the team model. You enjoy the conveniences of civil service, so you naturally bear the corresponding responsibility, but that performance target isn't a problem for you guys."

"It's simply that each month you must complete at least two cases. If this month has no supernatural incidents, or if the office now has five teams and there aren't enough cases to go around, you can go look up old cases and submit to claim tasks yourself."

Saying this, Lin Xiu'er tapped her phone twice, and then the phones of all four rang.

She said, "I've sent the QR code to you; after installing the system, there's a task library in the lower‑right corner with cases. If your performance is lacking, you can go there to make up the numbers. The rest is for you to figure out—I've arranged to meet someone for skateboarding, so I'm off now."

The four: "......"

Was the busyness they used to see just an illusion?

Tushan Jiu glanced around; after the welcoming ceremony ended, basically no one was in sight, while over in another office area not far away, people seemed to have a case in hand, which is why they were discussing something there.

But just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, someone over there suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Alright, let's just do this—we four will go play an escape room, let's go!"

Tushan Jiu: "......"

Those four left, and as they went they told Tushan Jiu and her four, "Bye-bye."

Tushan Jiu withdrew her gaze and thought, "They really are laid‑back."

The four had nothing else to do, so they sat down, tidied their workstations, then studied the system Lin Xiu'er mentioned, and soon it was mealtime.

Tushan Jiu spoke first, saying, "Let's go, change clothes and get something to eat; we don't need to come this afternoon, just go home to sleep."

Wang Dongqing clicked his tongue, "I thought we'd get a case as soon as we came up; I got all worked up for nothing."

The other three, hearing that, all gave a helpless smile.

After the four changed clothes and tidied up, they were ready to leave the office.

But who knows if it's because Wang Dongqing's mouth is blessed.

Because just as the few stepped out of the office building, their phones all rang at once.

It was a sound similar to an alarm, slightly urgent.

The four knew, a mission had come.
