Lin Xiao found a glowing contract and, on a whim, signed it.
The next day, an app appeared on his phone: [Underworld Grassroots Civil Servant (Temporary) Law Enforcement Assistance System].
From then on, his life became a balancing act:
By day, he was a corporate drone; by night, he worked as a temp for the Underworld.
His salary was ghost money, his KPI was capturing souls, and his benefits included priority reincarnation.
When faced with a vengeful ghost, he pulled out a handbook on the Core Socialist Values.
“Comrade Ghost, harming people violates the Yin-Yang Public Order Administration Law. Please cooperate with your exorcism.”
His colleague was a wisecracking System, and his boss was Black Impermanence, who was always slacking off.
His teammates included a chubby man with a Yang Flame physique who was afraid of ghosts, a fox spirit who loved making money, and an official team leader who firmly believed in science.
His ultimate dream was:
“Once I’ve saved up enough merit, I’m going to take this temp contract…”
“Make it permanent?”
“No, change it to a five-day workweek with paid annual leave!”
