Chapter 295 – Pin Down 7


    Fest 5


    Jake got speechless. It would be hard to tell which one of them could potentially harm the interests of the museum.


    They were quite different from the rest of the staff. One of the staff was done, he was ready to speak, "Did you see that dead, it was moving its toe." The man almost whispered.


    The man who bent to listen him shouted, "Shut up, I told you not to talk about it. It had been dead from ages how could it be?" he replied soberly.


    Jake thought that perhaps this man had some logical intellect in his head but then the same man added, "Unless the dead has the second life as the ghost." Heughed.


    Jake took back his earlier assumption.


    "No it must have the third life, how can you sure of it second life?" Third staff argued.


    Jake put his hand on his face to think such an argument was necessary for them.


    "Yes, yes it is third life." Another staff tapped his fingers on the table. "By the way why we were invited for the tea?" His tone changed because the question was not meant for joke. The same staff asked.


    Jake got alert at the sober question.


    All of them got attentive, "Perhaps the owner is angry at few of the staff members from different halls." The first man spoke. Earlier he was joking without sense yet the change of mood was visible now.


    So it turned out that they were marry making after good tea. They had this habit to be uncultured when they were stressed to see the deads. They actually wanted to maintain their sanity with this way. Although it was strange way to begin with.


    There had been several incidents in the dead hall in the previous year that they were mentally forbidden.


    One of them heard and coughed, "Is there a reason for the anger. The staff had been working for the museum tirelessly." The second staff added hisment.


    Jake thought that this man could be suspect. He was thinking to interrupt the conversation.


    "You might be right, the disloyal also work hard for disloyalty. Haha…" The first staff made the joke again. He seemed careless whoever was the disloyal.


    Jake sighed, "Could there be scale to identify the loyal and disloyal?" He asked appearing tired of the discussion.


    All of them turned silent. One of them spoke after some interval, "There must be scale or else everyone would bebeled disloyal. Let me introduce this scale. I made it after spending five years in the dead hall." The third staff brought out a circr ring with some iron signs on it."


    It was simr of circr scale yet the signs were something new. Jake admired the staff. Who could have thought that those who werebeled uncultured had the sanity to create some scale.


    He was curious how the scale worked. This man had been staff representative as well as the attendant of the newly shipped deads.


    Others simply followed him. Jake didn''t notice however this man was also curious about Jake. He was silent during the conversation.


    Walking and eating among the deads he built keen senses for the living. In his eyes Jake had some hidden motive against him that''s why he was interested to see his loyalty scale.


    There was something that he didn''t express. The scale was not built to check loyalty of the people for the museum. He built it to see how much the staff members were loyal with him. Those who bear less loyalty were thrown out of the museum.


    All these years he was maintaining his ck deeds with the help of loyalty scale. Jake would not know that his words were just opposite of his interpretation.


    He was also ready to take part in the scale evaluation. In his eyes there was no harm doing so.


    The staff representative put the scale in the middle of the table to let others see. They had seen this scale several times. All of them were very confident because they had give this test before.


    It was strange that staff representative never took part in the test. Pity that others never noticed this.


    Today they had been invited especially to know the suspect so they were more than willing to give this test honestly.


    There were five signs on the circle at the collective distance. The first sign showed the least rate of loyalty while thest sign showed the high rate of loyalty.


    This scale could potentially inspect the person having doubtful thoughts in his head. However the cunning staff member had deep way of asking those repetitive questions. He asked them several times yet always the loyalty rate changed.


    He knew the reason. When the underlings feel suspected about his actives, the scale went lower. It was due to his suspicious actives when the shipment arrived.


    Others had rarely considered the possibility that the scale was built to serve the staff representative rather than the owner.


    It was normal because the other staff members were seriously influenced by the atmosphere of the dead hall. They were no more serene like the scheming staff representative.


    First of all he talked to the first staff member at his right side. "Are you ready for the scale test?"


    This was his typical way of starting the test. Jake thought to see how the scale worked. He was not ignoring the possibility of some trick.


    Unless it was scheme he was willing to take part in the loyalty test.


    After all it was the way to check loyalty.


    The man turned his side to answer. "I am ready to give the test. Ask it anyway." The man said confident.


    The staff representative casted nce on the circle scale. " See the caged bird and give your remarks." The man asked question.


    Jake heard the question. There was caged bird however there was nothing particr about it.


    It was type odd scale. First scale admired but now he was suspicious.


    He was frustrated
