I was fired, not because I wasn't qualified or because I had offended someone, but because of my hallucination.

I could always see strange men and women, their bodies glowing with a green light, their bloodied faces facing me, their mouths split in a sinister smile!

Because of these reasons, I ran into a wall everywhere, and no company wanted to hire me. In the end, I was forced out by the landlord, and as I dragged my heavy luggage through the endless crowd, my heart was filled with nothing but despair and despair.

I dispiritedly and viciously sighed. Looking at the job application in my hands, I tried to find a place to sit down before suddenly realizing that I was in an ancient street.

It was a place I had never seen before, a stone road surrounded by quaint buildings, but there were very few signs of human life. It was also very strange to see a few people walk past me, and they dressed up in a weird and dull manner, not even sparing me a glance as they walked past.

I couldn't help but wonder. Ancient streets were originally popular, but why was it so deserted here? Since when was there a place like this here?

I went deeper, full of curiosity, but the deeper I went, the lonelier it became, and the stranger it was that every shop had its doors closed and windows closed, and just as I was about to turn back, I saw that there was a shop called Wordless Shop open.

The wide entrance of this shop is filled with shelves, and all of the shelves are filled with antiques. Squinting my eyes, I saw that there was a recruitment notice stuck to the door. When I saw the word 'recruitment,' my eyes immediately lit up.

When I went over there, my eyes were filled with tears. Recruiting an assistant has no limit to the requirements. My monthly salary is 30,000 yuan and I'm still able to afford it!

I quickly put the luggage outside and stuck my head in.

Just as I stepped in, an old man with white hair and a kind smile slowly walked out from the depths of the store. The moment he saw me, his expression froze for a moment before returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

I thought to myself that he must be the boss, so I quickly asked respectfully, "May I ask if you are recruiting here? I'm here for an assistant. "

Hearing that, the old man immediately showed an understanding expression and invited me to sit down. He smiled faintly and said, "Admit it."

He beckoned for me to sit on a dark wooden chair beside him and started to brew tea by myself. After a while, a bowl of fragrant tea was placed on my table. "I poured 70% of the tea into my cup. The remaining 30% is a favor.

I nodded my head as if I didn't really understand. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although I didn't know how to taste the tea, the moment it entered my mouth, it was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

I saw that he didn't mention the interview at all, and I thought to myself, "Could it be that it has already begun?" So he sat up straight and thought about how he would be able to say what would satisfy him and how he would be able to get the job.

He put down the teacup and quietly said, "You can call me Grandpa Wen. You've seen the treatment, and the rules are very simple. Watch the shop clean, and don't touch the things inside and just don't walk around."

At that moment, I was at a loss. I looked at him doubtfully and stammered, "I... Am I accepted? "

"Yeah."

"You're not joking with me?" I seem to have come here and done nothing but drink a cup of tea.

"Not really. You being able to find this store means that you are fated to be here. Since that's the case, how could I not hire you?" Grandpa Wen said something that confused me, but I was too excited at the time to care.

"Then when can I start working?"

"As long as you are willing. You can start right now. Of course, the salary will also officially start today."

"Then what should I do now?"

"Mm …" Grandpa Wen pondered for a moment. "Let's go and tidy up the warehouse first. It's been a long time since it's been tidied up inside."

"Good!" "No problem, don't worry, I'll take care of such a small matter like organizing the warehouse!" The high salary attracted me, and I felt that my mobility was extremely high. Without saying anything further, I followed Grandpa Wen into the warehouse.

But the moment Grandpa Wen opened the warehouse door, I was stunned and looked at Grandpa Wen with a puzzled expression.

It's been a long time since you've tidied up this warehouse. It hasn't been tidied up in several hundred years, right? Not only are the things inside mixed together, there's even a thick layer of dust and a few scattered spider webs.

"Aiya, I didn't expect this warehouse to be so dirty already. It's really been hard on you, little girl." Grandpa Wen said with a smile as he squinted his eyes. However, when I looked into his eyes, there was not a single bit of apology in them!

"Don't worry, I will do my best to clean up. Grandpa Wen, don't worry!" I looked at Grandpa Wen and said resolutely.

Grandpa Wen smiled and nodded in satisfaction. "Young people these days are really full of energy. Do well, you can take whatever you want with the broom. After cleaning it up, come out. Our shop still has two young girls. I will introduce them to you later."

"Alright!"

I nodded my head. Without saying anything further, I lifted my leg and carefully walked around the items on the floor before heading in.

Placing the thick book in my hands onto the bookshelf, I roughly took a look and realised that the books on it were as thick as a brick. Just as I was about to turn around and continue to tidy up the rest of the things on the bookshelf, I suddenly heard a sound of movement from above my head.

At that time, my mind was completely blank. I could only stare blankly as the book was ruthlessly smashed towards me. After that, I tightly shut my eyes.

However, at the next second, I felt a sound of wind breaking coming from my side, and a faint smell of tobacco surrounded me.

I don't know who pulled on my waist forcefully, but I retreated backwards. In the next instant, I heard the sound of a book falling to the ground. The dust that was kicked up immediately rises up and I fiercely sneezed.

"Are you okay?"

A low voice came from behind me.

I immediately turned around and bowed with tears in my eyes. "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me!"
