Not A God

Chapter 66

After washing up and leaving for the office, Zen sat in the underground, sorting through his briefcase, making sure he had all his papers before he started playing with his phone.

The news headlines on his phone kept coming and going with a few entertaining stories and the presidential election. Scrolling down, he found that the rumour that the presidential election had been rigged by aliens was getting worse and worse.

[The aliens are giving out brainwashing holographic helmets to every household these days! Don't use any of them! It's all a conspiracy!]

[Also, aliens are going to start pretending to be human, so be careful it's all around you! They will use virtual masks to make their faces invisible, so that ordinary people will think they're human, but they're actually aliens with flat heads!]

These rumour-like comments were copied in the comments section of all the news headlines, with a high number of likes. Zen closed the page in silence, giving up on the idea of fitting in socially in this day and age.

It was better to think about how to run the business next.

He put his mind back on his work, yesterday he was led by Xin Yun, now he was familiar with the process and it was time for him to do work on his own. With this in mind, Zen got off the bus at the stop and walked in the direction of the company.

Meanwhile, in front of a single house with vine walls, the courier had quietly placed a box containing a holographic helmet with various exaggerated slogans on it, seemingly compelling anyone who saw it to use it as soon as possible. The same box was placed in front of almost every house in the vicinity at a distance. The grey mist attached to the house, invisible to the human eye, floated around all the time like the house's guards and soon found the box in front of the door, dutifully covering it and changing the few lines on it.

[We are at your service!]

As Zen rushed to the company, Xin Yun, who had just emerged from the Special Events Department building, had already reached the front door of the company, and as he was about to step inside the inexplicably felt a few palpitations and looked up at the company. The 100-storey towering building was as calm as ever, except that today it was a little calmer, and even the holographic projections were no longer being shown in the square in front of the entrance.

"I guess the after-effects of last night hadn't healed yet." Xin Yun thought, overcoming his unease, and walked into the company, which from the ghosts' point of view was covered in spider-like flesh and blood.

The sunlight fell on the glass walls of the building through the cloudless sky, reflecting a soft glow that was unique to the flesh. It is a company that has transformed into a cocoon, a chrysalis, and is showing itself to the world in all its beauty.

Every employee stays at his or her post and works with dedication. There are no more of the old days of groping and mingling, no more of the pandemonium of bullying colleagues. Everywhere is full of human kindness and beauty, everyone's goodness is magnified, everything is as good as a fairy tale, a perfect utopian world. It should have been a beautiful scene, a restful morning, but Xin Yun broke out in a cold sweat.

He walked into the work area with a growing apprehension in his heart. Then, as he watched the smiling colleagues fill the otherwise empty workstations and the sound of keyboard tapping rang out from time to time, Xin Yun felt a chill run down from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Although he had just arrived at the company less than a month ago, the company's workstations had never been full when he was here. Even though it was already working hours, there were still only a few people here, so for Xin Yun, this was an unusual sight.
