Chapter 608: Caregiver Interview

All the “mysteries” here, fundamentally speaking, were not killed by Lin Qiye himself; they were merely forced to die under Lin Qiye’s blade by the power of Nyx. This suffocating way of dying not only failed to instill fear in them towards Lin Qiye but even sparked some anger and disdain.

Before their death, they lived as “mysteries” shrouded in mist, not as pitiful and humble as the “mysteries” that descended into the Great Xia. They each had their own territories and pride; even if they had died once, it did not mean they would completely submit.

If the “mysteries” in the mist were likened to proud roosters, then the recently exploded black giant was undoubtedly the proudest among them.

And then, it died, its soul scattering.

That ferociously powerful “Klein” realm “mystery” died before them in such a dishonorable manner, leaving not even a trace of its existence.

Its death made most of the “mysteries” realize the reality…

They were no longer the powerful “mysteries” they once were; no matter what they had possessed before, now they were merely prisoners, with their very lives and deaths resting in the thoughts of that man in white.

For him, erasing their existence was just a matter of a single sentence.

When Lin Qiye looked into the eyes of the white bear and coldly asked, “Do you want to live?” the white bear felt a bit intimidated.

Who doesn’t want to live?

Having the black giant as a cautionary tale, the white bear showed no sign of the arrogance typical of a “Klein” realm “mystery.” It wouldn’t foolishly provoke Lin Qiye again and risk its own life.

“I do,” the white bear replied honestly.

“Can you do housework?”

“?” The white bear looked at Lin Qiye in confusion.

“What skills do you have?”

The white bear remained bewildered.

“What else can you do besides fighting?”

“I… I can… grill fish?” the white bear tentatively suggested.

Lin Qiye nodded slightly.

To be honest, that skill was quite practical…

Lin Qiye reached out and grasped the void, producing a contract… oh no, a labor contract that appeared before the white bear, which looked up at Lin Qiye in confusion.

“If you have no objections to this contract, just sign it,” Lin Qiye said indifferently, not waiting for the white bear’s response as he walked toward the next cell.

The white bear glanced at the contract. Thanks to the hospital’s automatic translation, all the text was converted into the most intuitive thoughts, so there was no issue of language barriers. After reading the contract, its white face turned a bit green.

“Then…” the white bear hesitated, “what if I have objections?”

Lin Qiye replied without turning back, “If you have objections, you die.”

“…”

The white bear struggled for a moment but eventually extended its large paw and pressed its paw print in the lower right corner of the contract. The contract then spontaneously ignited.

The cell door slowly opened, and an oversized blue caregiver uniform appeared out of thin air on the white bear. A shiny nameplate hung on its chest:

——008.

The white bear swaggered out of the cell, scratching its head, seemingly still trying to process what had just happened.

Had it… been sold?

The other “mysteries” imprisoned in the cells, seeing the white bear easily regain its freedom after pressing its paw print, couldn’t help but feel a bit restless. Of course, all they could see was the white bear walking out of the cell and standing outside…

They had no idea that the white bear had merely moved from the cell into the control of some unscrupulous boss.

As Lin Qiye reached the next cell door, before he could say anything, the gray sparrow that had fallen to the ground spoke up:

“I want to live.”

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.

“Can you do housework?”

“…”

…

When Lin Qiye opened his eyes again, he felt an indescribable fatigue.

For the past two hours, he had been like a diligent HR, frantically interviewing “mysteries” from different regions with various abilities and personalities. Even so, in such a long time, he had only managed to interview fewer than seventy “mysteries,” as communicating with these beings was incredibly difficult.

The high-intelligence “mysteries” like the white bear and gray sparrow were manageable, but many of the subsequent “mysteries,” despite their formidable strength, appeared rather dim-witted. When asked if they could do housework, they replied that they could destroy houses; when asked about their specialties, their specialty was mating and giving birth…

If it weren’t for their relatively sincere attitudes, Lin Qiye would have long since obliterated them.

Excluding a few troublemakers that Lin Qiye had eliminated, the majority of the seventy-plus “mysteries” were recruited as caregivers, with the caregiver number advancing to 078. Lin Qiye had no time to assign tasks to each of them or promote corporate culture, so he simply handed them all over to Li Yifei for management.

Now, Li Yifei could be considered a genuine head caregiver; even those powerful “mysteries” of the “Klein” realm had to respectfully call him Feige or Manager Li.

Lin Qiye sat up from the ground, glanced at the sky, and frowned slightly.

“Director, what are you waiting for?”

Beside him, Hong Yan, who had been quietly standing to the side, asked with some confusion.

“Waiting for two people…” Lin Qiye replied slowly, “but it seems they won’t be back for a while.”

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qiye placed the convenience bag in front of the container, leaving a note on the door. He took one last look at the cramped container before turning to walk towards the city.

Lin Qiye wouldn’t wait here indefinitely; since they weren’t here today, he could come back tomorrow. However, the snacks and desserts in the convenience bag might not last until then, so he could only leave them at the container door to be eaten quickly upon their return.

Before leaving, Ayumi Akiyama had given Lin Qiye 200,000 yen. He kept a portion for meals and transportation, planning to leave the rest for them, but it would be better to hand it to them in person tomorrow.

As Lin Qiye walked with Hong Yan, they crossed two streets and spotted an elderly woman with white hair sitting alone on the steps by the street, staring blankly at the bustling intersection in the distance.

“Grandma Crane?”

Seeing that figure, Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback.

Grandma Crane seemed to have heard Lin Qiye’s voice, turning her head stiffly, her murky eyes gradually brightening. She pressed her hands on her knees, straining to stand up from the steps, her whole body trembling slightly.

Lin Qiye hurried over to support her, and she tightly grasped his hand as if holding onto a lifeline.

“You are… a friend of Xiao Youli, right?”
