Chapter 416 New members join the team and start a new journey
In the laboratory, the air was as heavy as solidified glue, filled with the smell of machine oil and disinfectant.
Jiang Er'er was fiddling with the old radio out of boredom. The crackling sound of the electricity sounded like an old witch's spell, which made people feel upset.
She turned the knob intermittently, trying to find a clear radio wave amid the noise, but to no avail.
"This thing is older than I am, right? It's a true antique!"
Jiang Er'er curled her lips and simply turned off the radio. The room instantly became quiet, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
She scratched her hair irritably, her ghostly figure looking even more erratic in the dim light.
"Jiang Er'er."
A crisp sound broke the silence. Jiang Er'er turned around suddenly and saw An Yuqing standing at the door. The light was against her, so she couldn't see the expression on his face.
"An Yuqing? Why...why are you here?" Jiang Er'er's tone was a little flustered, like a child who had done something wrong and was caught red-handed.
"Come and see you."
An Yuqing walked up to Jiang Er'er and said gently, "It seems that you are not very happy?"
Jiang Er'er forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"No, I'm so happy. Look at me, my mouth is almost stretched to my ears."
An Yuqing did not expose her clumsy disguise, but just looked at her quietly.
"Um..." Jiang Er'er stammered, "I...I heard that you are leaving Lin Tang tomorrow?"
An Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, the flight is tomorrow morning."
"Then...what about me?" Jiang Er'er asked cautiously, her voice as thin as a mosquito. "What should I do?"
The air seemed to freeze. Jiang Er'er stared at An Yuqing nervously, afraid that she would hear some bad news from her.
An Yuqing was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering, as if thinking about something.
"I……"
An Yuqing was about to speak when she suddenly paused, her eyes falling on Jiang Er'er's uneasy face. "I have an idea..."
An Yuqing took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Jiang Er'er, do you want to join our team?"
Jiang Er'er was stunned, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her face, making her feel cold from head to toe.
She stared at An Yuqing blankly, "Me? Join you? Don't be ridiculous, I... I'm just a ghost, how can I help?"
She subconsciously hugged herself, as if this could give her a sense of security.
"I know what you are worried about," An Yuqing patted Jiang Er'er's shoulder gently, his tone gentle but firm.
"But you are much more powerful than you think. Your abilities are special and can come in handy in many situations."
“Also, we are a team and will help each other and make progress together.”
Jiang Er'er bit her lip, struggling internally.
She longs for a home and to be accepted, but she is also afraid that she will become a burden to the team and that she will not be competent.
"But... I can't do anything. I can only scare people..." She lowered her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller, like the hum of a mosquito.
"Don't say that,"
An Yuqing encouraged,
"Everyone has their own strengths, and your abilities may play an unexpected role at a critical moment."
"Think about it, what our team lacks is a 'special force' like you!"
Jiang Er'er raised her head. "A... a special soldier? Me?"
An Yuqing smiled and nodded, "Yes! It's you! Imagine the enemy being caught off guard and frightened by you."
"Battle power instantly halved, isn't this the effect of a 'surprise attack'? It's like a bug!"
The corners of Jiang Er'er's mouth rose slightly, and a smile spread across her face.
She began to imagine herself transforming into the "Queen of Fright" and scaring the shit out of her enemies, and she actually felt a little excited!
"What do you think? Consider it?" An Yuqing struck while the iron was hot.
Jiang Er'er took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became firm.
"Okay! I'll join!"
An Yuqing showed a relieved smile on her face.
She knew that this was not just adding a member to the team, but also finding a real home for Jiang Erer.
"Great!"
An Yuqing excitedly held Jiang Er'er's hand.
"Now, we just need one more person, and we can become regular employees!"
She said, turning and walking towards the living room.
"Let's go tell everyone the good news!"
Jiang Er'er stared blankly at An Yuqing's back, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind to work hard to improve herself and never let everyone down.
"Wait for me!" Jiang Er'er quickly followed.
In the living room, Lin Qiye and Wu Hen were sitting on the sofa, one holding a phone, the other eating melon seeds. The atmosphere was strangely harmonious...
Yu Qing pushed open the door to the living room, his face filled with unconcealable joy, like a kitten that had stolen a fish and couldn't wait to show off.
She excitedly walked up to Lin Qiye and Wu Hen, her clear voice tinged with excitement: "I have good news to tell you!"
Lin Qiye raised his head and looked away from the phone screen, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Wu Hen was still focused on the melon seeds in his hand, seeming indifferent to everything.
The melon seed shells piled up into a small hill at his feet, making a crackling sound, like a lullaby, making people drowsy.
"What good news is it that makes you so excited?" Lin Qiye asked with a smile.
An Yuqing took a deep breath, glanced at the two of them, and said mysteriously, "Our team is about to welcome a new member!"
"New member?" Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"Jiang Er'er!" An Yuqing said excitedly.
"puff--"
Wu Hen spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells, almost covering Lin Qiye's face. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "What the hell? Miss Ghost is joining the team? Are you sure you're not kidding? This picture is wrong!"
"Cough cough..."
Lin Qiye quickly dodged Wu Hen's "attack" with a look of surprise on his face and a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Jiang Er'er? Isn't she... a ghost? Will this... work?"
An Yuqing shrugged helplessly and explained, "She has special abilities that can play an unexpected role at critical moments. Besides, our team is short of people right now. Only with her here can we become regular employees!"
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other, both of them with doubts in their eyes.
"I think it's possible."
Wu Hen suddenly chuckled, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Ghost Sister is so exciting! Just think about it, when we go on missions in the future, the moment she appears, she'll scare the enemy into paralysis. Isn't that better than anything else?"
"Besides, she's a girl. Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
"You kid, you're being naughty again." Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, I'm doing this for the future of our team! For the girls on our team!"
Wu Hen said seriously, then jumped up from the sofa and shouted towards the door,
"Ghost sister, come in quickly, I have prepared a special welcome ceremony for you!"
The corner of An Yuqing's mouth twitched. She knew that Wu Hen could not say anything serious.
Jiang Er'er's figure appeared at the doorway. She smiled a little sheepishly, "Do you... really welcome me?"
"Of course you are welcome! Who doesn't love beautiful women?" Wu Hen said with a smug smile, then nudged Lin Qiye with his elbow and winked at him.
Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, nodded, and said gently: "Of course you are welcome, we look forward to your joining us."
Seeing that both of them agreed, An Yuqing clapped his hands happily, "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's write an application to join the team now!"
"and many more!"
Wu Hen suddenly interrupted with a sly smile on his face.
"Applying to join the team is too ordinary. How about we do something special?"
"For example... have Miss Ghost put a... ghost stamp on the application? That would be so memorable!"
"You..." An Yuqing pointed at Wu Hen and was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Wu Hen's mind:
[Ding! Triggering a bizarre mission! Have Miss Ghost leave her ghost mark on the team application! Mission Reward: A random skill book!]
Wu Hen's eyes lit up, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Jiang Er'er,
There was a hint of anticipation in her tone: "Miss Ghost, what do you think of this idea? Isn't it cool?"
Jiang Er'er was stunned for a moment and looked at An Yuqing and Lin Qiye with some confusion.
An Yuqing and Lin Qiye looked at Wu Hen in confusion, completely unaware of what he was up to.
Wu Hen looked at the expressions of the three people and shook his head slightly. Tsk, how lame! There is no romance at all!
"Ahem... well, where's the pen?"
Wu Hen touched his chin and nodded pretentiously.
"The ghost seal is indeed cool, but the question is...how do you stamp a ghost?"
He looked at Jiang Er'er with a wicked smile, his eyes full of mischief.
Jiang Er'er blinked erratically, looking confused.
She stretched out her translucent hand, trying to leave a mark on the table, but found it was of no use.
Her hand passed through the air without leaving any mark.
"Uh……"
Jiang Er'er scratched her head awkwardly, "It seems... not possible..."
"Hey! Got it!"
An Yuqing suddenly had an idea and took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket. "Come on, Jiang Er'er, just press your fingerprint!"
"Handprint?" Jiang Er'er was stunned for a moment, then reacted, excitedly stretched out her finger, and gently pressed it on the paper.
The miracle happened!
Jiang Er'er's fingertips actually left a faint, translucent fingerprint on the paper!
"Wow! Cool!" Wu Hen's eyes widened in amazement. "This is definitely a ghost's fingerprint! So cool!"
Lin Qiye also showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that An Yuqing would come up with such a clever idea.
"Welcome, Jiang Er'er!" Lin Qiye said with a smile, his tone sincere and warm.
Jiang Er'er bowed excitedly, her eyes slightly moist.
"Thank you! I will definitely work hard!"
"Alright, alright, enough of the sentimental talk!"
Wu Hen waved his hand impatiently, "Now, let's discuss the celebration! For example... what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Wu Hen! Can you be serious?" An Yuqing glared at him unhappily.
"I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere!" Wu Hen chuckled, then looked at Jia Lan'er, "Miss Jia Lan'er, do you have any suggestions?"
Jia Lan'er held her chin in her hand, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Although our team now meets the number of members required, we are still one person short of becoming a regular member."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"One more missing?"
Wu Hen scratched his head, "Who is it?"
Jia Laner smiled mysteriously, said nothing, and just looked out the window...
