Emily Carlton, the second employee:

WE see Samuel in a taxi thinking: Emily Carlton, the sin of envy, has spent her life pursuing money just to attract attention. Our neglected selves will face the second entity, the demon of death. His ability is the strongest in terms of psychologically . His name alone suggests the idea of suicide. Then he chuckled softly.

Samuel had indeed arrived to meet Emily, the dark-skinned, plump young woman. He addressed her, "Hello Emily, what do you think about going to a café to discuss the details of your job?" She immediately replied, "Sure."

In the café, Samuel and Emily sat in a quiet corner. After ordering coffee, Samuel began speaking in a casual but directed tone:

"So, Emily, what made you take this job?"

She answered, "Just to cover the basics of life like food, drink, and rent."

Samuel suspected she was lying, so he smiled slightly and said:

"Then, Emily, how was your past in work? What is your previous experience?"

Emily smiled faintly but hesitantly, "This is my fourth job. I haven't settled anywhere for long. I'm trying to find something that suits me, but... it seems I haven't been very lucky."

Samuel added in a faint tone: "The job is simple, just ten nights to clean an old house before the family that will buy it arrives. The work is night-time from 10 PM to 6 AM, with a payment of $750 per night."

Emily agreed immediately and said to herself that the high salary must be due to some harmful chemicals, but she didn't care. Then Emily left, smiling.

Samuel laughed a little and then fell silent, saying, "I believe that a person might sell their health to satisfy their desire for completeness." He added that Emily only drank black coffee not because she liked it, but to give herself an elegant appearance. Emily was indeed the perfect victim.
