I Passed the Civil Service Exam in a Terrifying World

[Supernatural horror + comedy + everyday life + fresh premise + civil-service exam obsession] Perhaps Li Fan had already gone crazy the moment he started explaining regulations to a supernatural entity. The supernatural descended, and everyone was trying to escape. The blood moon hung high, ghosts howled, and I quietly pulled out a set of exam prep questions. “Candidate, your interview question is: How would you manage ghouls who relieve themselves anywhere and everywhere...” I answered expressionlessly, “First, designate public restroom zones and set up KPI assessments.” The chief examiner, the Ghost King, froze, then slapped the table. “What a talent! You’re hired on the spot as director of the Underworld Neighborhood Office!” Later, I held a performance review sheet in my left hand and year-end bonuses in my right, turning the supernatural world into a model of civilized governance. From then on, the whole story went completely off the rails.
