Yu Shiyi worked overtime until the early hours, then opened a bizarre game with a completely black icon.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the corpse keeper at a funeral home.
Seven corpses, one lamp, three nights on duty. No System, no status screen, no extra lives. All she had was a silver tongue honed over seven years in public relations.
When vengeful ghosts came for her life, she handed them a needs registration form.
When ghost soldiers passed by, she asked if they wanted to book an appointment first.
When a ghost bride tried to kill someone, she explained the concept of a prenuptial agreement.
Later, she opened a noodle shop in the horror game.
One bowl of noodles in exchange for one story.
Ghost customers came and went. Some wept, some laughed, and some sat at the door, refusing to leave.
Later still, every ghost in the game called her
"Boss Lady."
She had no golden finger. All she had was a stove, a pot, and a crowd of ghosts who refused to move on.
"Since you're here, have a bowl of noodles before you die."
