Squeak——
The door of the storage room was pushed open, and the dust on the door frame was like my heart, jumping for joy in the long-lost light.
The light from the corridor shines into the door, reflecting the silhouette of a man, "This is the storage room, mainly used to store newspapers. I will give you one month to collect all the metropolitan newspapers, evening newspapers, morning newspapers and premium newspapers from 2002 to 2012. The advertising information was counted, including hard advertisements and soft articles. "Perhaps he couldn't stand the musty smell in the storage room. The man raised his hand and fanned in front of his nose, and continued: "Date, layout, length, type and published content , must be recorded and classified very carefully, and don’t miss a single item!”
There was muttering in the corridor, and there seemed to be many people standing in line.
"But aren't we applying for advertising planning positions?" someone asked.
"Wouldn't it be better to leave statistics on newspapers to people in the secretarial department or back office?" someone questioned in a low voice.
"Is this the kind of job we spend four years in college for?" said a third person.
"Some so-called big companies are like this. In the name of probation period, under the guise of 'training new people', they hire fresh graduates to work as coolies at low prices!" I don't know who protested loudly, "When the probation period is over, they will I will just find any reason to make people slap their butts and leave!"
The man leaned against the door frame, lit a cigarette, and said calmly: "If you don't want to do it, you can leave now."
After a moment of silence, there were scattered footsteps gradually disappearing.
Finally, a girl's voice came in, "I'll do it."
"Probation period is one month, salary is 900." The man blew out a smoke ring with satisfaction and turned around. The way he walked looked awkward, with his head held high and his chest twitching.
Can’t be wrong! This man with a ponytail and a shrewd face is Chen Yao. His growing hair was not to show off his personality as an advertising man. It was just the last struggle of a man who lived thousands of years ago to face the new world. Of course, the reason why I could recognize him at a glance was because my poor sixth sister was floating listlessly behind him – mortals cannot see the djinn, even the summoner can only see his own summons The djinn came out.
At this time, through the gap in the broken box, the girl who just spoke appeared in sight. She was wearing a crisply ironed business attire, with her chest straightened and her shoulders drawn back, and her posture stiff. She looked like a newcomer to the workplace. She obviously had no confidence but tried to look capable.
The girl looked at the rows of shelves in the storage room and the neatly arranged stacks of newspapers on the shelves, and sighed softly. She puffed up her cheeks and blew the dust on the newspaper pile. The dust happily fluttered on her face, staining her pretending to be mature.
From then on, the girl worked from nine to five every day, fighting against dust and old newspapers in the storage room. Whenever the sound of brisk high heels came from the corridor, she would always raise her head slightly and look at the spider web in the corner of the room above, her eyes filled with "I want it! I want it!"
The Djinn likes people best who are willing to admit that they have needs and know what they need.

Aladdin and the Lamp of Death movie online_Aladdin and Lamp of Death movie’/>
I look forward to meeting her, looking forward to her being the first soul I bring into the wishless hell.
On the last day of the probation period, the girl finally found a broken cardboard box among the newspapers. Then she picked up the keychain I had placed on it and brushed off the dust on the surface. No more, no less, and she touched it exactly three times!
The exciting moment has finally arrived! The great Alagui lantern god jumped out, waving his long sleeves and dancing colorful clothes, spinning happily in the dust, screaming, "Three years, I have been waiting for this moment for three years! Say it, little girl! Tell me your wish!"
brush! The girl's face seemed to be coated with a layer of white ash, without any blood. She trembled her lips and fainted with a "plop". I floated on the roof of the storage room in a daze, and my passion suddenly disappeared.
So, the more people know about the world, the less they believe. When it comes to encountering gods and spirits, they are not as strong as the ancients.
Fortunately, the reputation of the fourth sister Aladdin is world-renowned. After the girl regained consciousness, I started with the story of Aladdin's magic lamp and presented the facts to make sense. I will not go into details about the process. In short, after the nagging talk until her mouth became dry, the girl was finally doubtful. At least she had figured out that Alagui was not Alagui.
"There are two rules for making wishes. First, you cannot make wishes related to the djinn; second, you can only make the same wish once." I pretended to be calm and introduced the topic. In fact, the gambler in my heart was already excited, and it felt like It's like your mouth is stuffed with popping candy, and the sharp tingling pleasure spreads all over your body from the tip of your tongue, "Be careful, the djinn cannot grant all your wishes. If you make a wish that exceeds the djinn's ability, you will die. And your soul will fall into the wishless hell, and you will never be reincarnated. In other words, every wish you make is a gamble. If you win, you will get your wish; if you lose, you will be doomed."
"But…how do I know what wishes cannot be fulfilled?" the girl asked.
"That's why I have to gamble! Otherwise, why would I be standing here?"
"If you make the wrong wish, you will die!" The girl bit her lip, "I don't want to take such a risk! Can I not make a wish? I give up."
"Of course." I pretended to get back into the leather lamp keychain, "But the djinn is not like a takeout delivery person who can be at your beck and call. If you refuse this time, we will assume that you are a person who does not need wishes. From now on, you will forever lose the qualification to summon the djinn. Think clearly, your current choice itself is also a gamble that affects the future."
At this time, the sound of high heels came from the corridor again, and the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at me, "I bet."
Her voice was small but firm, just like when she said "I do" a month ago.
"My first wish is to become a regular employee of this company." She looked at me anxiously, "Is this wish too big…"
Just as he was talking, Chen Yao pushed open the door and entered. He picked up the table that the girl had compiled, glanced at it, and asked, "What do you think?"
"What?" The girl glanced at me secretly, but my sixth sister and I were looking at each other with tears in our eyes, speechless and choked, exchanging thousands of years of longing with our eyes.
"Have you discovered the newspaper advertising patterns of major brands?" Chen Yao prompted.
The girl thought for a while and said a lot of things that I couldn't quite understand.
Chen Yao nodded while listening, and finally said: "Ainini, congratulations on becoming a formal employee of our company!"
Anini's originally slender eyes suddenly became like glutinous rice balls with their fillings exposed, round and shiny, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for giving me the opportunity!"
"Do a good job!" Chen Yao patted Ainini on the shoulder, turned and left.
Enini innocently touched her shoulder, where the warmth of his palm still remained. For a long time, she slapped her face, shook her head, and said to herself: "What are you thinking about? Mr. Chen has a girlfriend…" Then she looked at me gratefully and said, "Thank you for helping me realize my wish. !”
I spread my hands, but Chen Yao came in before I even made my wish. Her ability to become a regular employee was entirely due to her own efforts.
"My next wish is…" The feeling of getting your wish is indeed addictive, "The salary can be increased by… five thousand compared to the probation period!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao, who had already left , turned back and leaned forward at the door to add, "By the way, I forgot to inform you just now that your official salary for the first year is 5,900 yuan. .”
Yes! Anini was full of surprises.
After Chen Yao left, Enini asked me in a low voice, "Ten thousand, can it be increased to ten thousand?"
"Don't you know if you take a bet? It's just that you can only make the same wish once!"
"Huh? Does that mean I can no longer wish for a salary increase?" A trace of annoyance flashed in Aineni's eyes, as if she regretted that she didn't open her mouth just now.
"Of course not. You just can't make another wish to increase your salary by five thousand, but if you make another wish, it won't be the same wish. How about it? Do you want to continue to wish for a salary increase?"
Enini clutched the keychain tightly, struggled for a long time, and finally said: "Forget it, the days are long, and there is no limit to the number of wishes anyway, right?"
"Of course." I smiled.
At this moment, Desire had already opened its mouth to Enini, revealing her white teeth.
Any place called hell is mostly filled with gusty winds, thick bones, endless wailing, and darkness, right? For example, there is no intermittent hell, where there is no time, no space, and no recipient. People trapped in it are tortured in the fire all the time, day and night.
Compared with the Infinite Hell, the Wishless Hell is almost heaven.
The wishless hell is at the bottom of hell, a place more beautiful than fairyland. There are auspicious clouds lingering, mountain flowers blooming in the fields, fragrance everywhere, beautiful buildings and jade buildings, singing and dancing, countless beauties, and groups of handsome guys… All the beautiful words you can imagine and those you can't imagine can be used to describe Wu Yuan The scenery of hell. There is no more luxurious and wonderful place in heaven and earth than the wishless hell.
How could such a good place be hell?
It is indeed hell, a hell more terrifying than the endless hell.
The souls who fall into the endless hell will suffer the pain of thousands of deaths every day, which will last forever unless their karma is exhausted. For them, whether their body is burned in a raging fire or their ears and tongue are cut off in a frying pan, these physical pains can be considered a kind of relief, and there will always be a time when their karma is exhausted and they are reborn. Even if it doesn't work, there is still Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is so kind and compassionate to save us.
But the souls who fall into the wishless hell can only suffer eternal pain and loneliness, and will never be able to transcend.
In the wishless hell where you have all the good things, you cannot have all the good things.
The person you love is someone else’s lover; the talent you extravagantly hope to have is owned by the person you hate the most; the wealth you covet is always out of reach of you; everything you most want to have, everything you have No matter how hard you work, how hard you try, or how hard you beg, you will never get your wish – even if your wish is just to eat a donut.
Any wish you have will become your burden and your instrument of torture. In the wishless hell, you can only carve your every second with despair.
Maybe you will say, if I have no desires, no demands, no wishes, and only appreciate but do not expect to possess, then the beauty of the wishless hell will not become torture.
This is what they say, but people who are calm and indifferent without greed will not fall into the hell of wishlessness.
The Wishless Hell is governed by the genie Ala. There are ten people in total, five men and five women, all of whom are born gamblers. They are keen on collecting souls full of desires and like to travel around the world hiding in various lamps. They call themselves servants of gods, look for interesting mortals everywhere, and then play a game of desire.
For the djinn, the lamp is both a host and a prison. Once they inhabit a lamp, unless the lamp is damaged or a mortal wipes the lamp body three times with their hands, they can only stay in the lamp and cannot do anything. Therefore, for the djinn who is addicted to gambling, what kind of summoner he meets at what time can be regarded as a big gamble of luck.
Although the Ala lamp gods are in charge of the most terrifying wishless hell, they are the weakest gods. They can only exert powerful magic power when they are summoned from the lamp to help the summoner realize his wish. They are generous and can help you realize countless wishes, but not all wishes can be realized. For example, if there are wishes related to the djinn, such as destroying the world or some other excessive wishes, the djinn is powerless.
In this way, the bet between the djinn and the summoner came into being, with wishes and souls as their respective chips.
The djinn can grant your wishes, but once you are too greedy and make wishes that they cannot fulfill, you will lose your soul and fall into the wishless hell.
Your desires are your eternal torment.
Among my nine brothers and sisters, the eldest brother is the most accomplished. Since the Warring States Period, he has been living in a disc-shaped bronze lamp with a high column, helping countless emperors and generals realize their dreams of ruling the country and bringing peace to the world. This lamp is called Honghu, and it is the dream of ambitious people. Nowadays, those careerists have long been part of my eldest brother’s collection, and the swan that my eldest brother lives in is also stored in a private museum as a precious antique. Therefore, he now howls like a springing female cat every day, "Touch me, touch me!"
There was nothing he could do. Who told him to go too far and accidentally turn himself into a priceless treasure? It is usually maintained with some high-end gadgets, and even the collector himself is reluctant to touch it, let alone rub it three times with his hands.
Compared with the eldest brother, the second sister is much smarter.
She likes to make quick decisions, and often incarnates herself in fast consumables such as candles and torches. As soon as she appears, she hurriedly asks people to make wishes. Those flattered mortals look at the fast-burning lamps and have no time to think deeply. , sometimes without even understanding the rules, they blurt out excessive wishes. When the candle or torch burns out, the second sister is free and can look for the next lamp to live in.
The eldest brother is the most accomplished and the second sister is the most efficient, but when it comes to being world-famous, it is certainly the fourth sister.
My fourth sister is naturally lustful and likes to be touched by handsome guys. Back then, she lived in an oil lamp and helped a poor boy named Xianyu become the master. She built a castle and married a princess. In order to be touched a few more times, she finally helped him ascend to the throne. "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" became famous in one fell swoop and was hailed as the glass slipper for gray boys. It became the most popular story among poor people in "One Thousand and One Nights". Even in that story, even the original male protagonist’s name was erased and he was called Aladdin, which shows how far-reaching my fourth sister’s influence is.
As for the ending of that poor boy, of course he fell into the hell of unwillingness. My fourth sister just lusted after him, but she didn’t love him. As a result, he overestimated his abilities and made a wish to marry my fourth sister as his second wife. Naturally, this extravagant wish could not come true!
Could it be said that there is no time for Ala Deng God to lose?
Well, for the djinn, not winning means losing, right?
For example, my sixth sister Alaji has never had bad luck in gambling and always meets some strange people. More than a thousand years ago, she lived in a ceramic lamp and met a young man named Chen Yao. This guy was cautious and made only three wishes every day: to live one more day than yesterday and to earn one dollar more than yesterday. , as strong as yesterday.
If he promised eternal life, inexhaustible wealth, and eternal youth, then my sixth sister would definitely not agree, because "eternal" is something that only exists in the wishless hell.
But he didn't promise forever, he only made three seemingly super simple wishes, and he only made these three wishes every day, never the same! In this way, the sixth sister has been tortured by these three boring wishes for more than a thousand years, and she is simply worse than dead!
In view of this bloody lesson, Ala Djinn had to add a vulgar rule to the gambling game: a wish can only be made once!
The new rules have repaired the previous loopholes, but they cannot save the Sixth Sister. After all, she had a bet with Chen Yao first, and we, Ala Deng Shen, will not cheat and add conditions halfway just because we are the banker.
This gambling game that continues to this day not only makes Sixth Sister bored to the point of hair growing all over her body, but also makes her a laughing stock in the Wishless Hell. The group of brats upstairs who burn oil and see-saw gather together to chat when they have nothing to do:
"The ten idiots at the bottom who pretend to be noble always laugh at the lack of technical content in our methods of torturing people."
"Oh, I really can't afford to do their technical work, so I got involved in it while playing! Isn't their sixth son, Ala, being played by a mortal?"
"Boss Alaja's situation is not much better, it's no different from being in jail!"
"Speaking of which, Lao Jiu Alaren is the most ridiculous…"
I'm furious! How can the realm of wishless hell be understood by monsters like them?
But having said that, since electric lighting became popular, the situation of the ten of us brothers and sisters has indeed gone from bad to worse.
I won’t talk about the eldest brother and the sixth sister; I don’t know where the candle that the second sister lived in was thrown away, and no one has cared about it for more than ten years; the third brother and the fourth sister, one was buried in the yellow sand, and the other sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared. Every day; Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, and Eighth Sister count bugs in the ancient tomb every day; Ninth Brother has water in his head and is inhabiting the beacon of an artificial satellite. He has not been able to contact him so far, and he does not know whether he went to make a wish for aliens. Already…
As the youngest sister among the gods of Allah, I have been cared for by my brothers and sisters for thousands of years. I torture the souls who are devoured by desire without any worries every day, and live a life of ease. I have never left hell. At most, I would go upstairs to listen to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on a whim, or climb up to the iceberg hell on the eighth floor to gamble.
Now, for the sake of the reputation of the Wishless Hell, and for the sake of Sixth Sister and all the brothers and sisters who are suffering, I, Alagui Dengjin, decided to step into the mortal world and start the first gambling game in my life.
In the past, my eldest brother often said that as a professional gambler, the most important thing is the gambling product. Therefore, wishes can only be used as a bet for the djinn, and can never be used as a bargaining chip to trade or threaten mortals. Otherwise, the djinn will be swallowed up by the desires in the wishless hell.
That is to say, within the scope of my ability, I can only unconditionally realize all the wishes of the other party, and I can never ask the summoner to do anything on the condition of "helping him realize his wishes". In other words, I can't ask the other party to help me destroy Sixth Sister's ceramic lamp or help me kill Chen Yao, unless they themselves are willing.
If I want to save Sixth Sister, I can only influence Chen Yao's fate through the summoner's wish, and then find a way to save Sixth Sister.
After some careful consideration, I decided to live in a leather lamp keychain.
Fragile artificial leather, low-quality lamp wicks, cheap button batteries, wholesale price of 50 cents. This thing will never be as solid as the elder brother's bronze lamp, nor will it be as ungrounded as the ninth brother's signal lamp. Even if its lighting function is just a decoration, as a key pendant that is often held in people's hands, the probability of me being summoned is still very high.
I specially chose a cute-looking bright yellow star-shaped keychain, and it is also a gift customized by a certain red winery. You only need to fill in a simple questionnaire to receive the gift, and you will never have to worry about it. Pressed in the warehouse. The most important thing is that the winery entrusted this publicity campaign to an advertising company, and Chen Yao is the boss of this company.
In other words, my summoner must live in the same city as Chen Yao. At the worst, through the "six degrees of separation theory", they can get involved in the shortest possible time.
Unfortunately, God's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and my wishful thinking was slightly wrong.
I don’t know whether it was due to poor communication or insufficient rebates, but the winery defaulted on the final payment to the advertising company, so the advertising company suppressed the last batch of promotional gifts. So it was a tragedy for me. I was packed in a broken cardboard box and piled up in the storage room. I couldn't do anything except pray that this broken keychain would break soon.
The most annoying thing is that this keychain is obviously a piece of junk that costs 55 cents. It has been sitting idle in a dark and humid storage room for three years, and it has not become moldy or rotten!
Who says cheap things can not be good!
