It's Weird, Sure, but Why Do I Have to Take a Civil Service Exam?

My name is Chen Mo.

After I died, I became an eerie creature who specializes in hunting scumbags.

That is, until an HR rep from Bureau 749 showed up at my door:

"Unlicensed hunting is illegal, but passing the civil service exam can solve that."

And so... the mirror spirit, the water ghost, and I became study buddies.

The essay question is "On the Positive Role of Eerie Creatures in Community Governance," and the practical test is "How to Legally Claim Monsters and Deal with Competitors."

Now,

I study past civil service exam questions with my left hand,

while my right hand restrains its tentacles from giving the examiner a good smack...

So...

If I'm already an eerie creature, why do I still have to take the civil service exam?

Because the benefits package,

is irresistible!
