Chapter 11 The Man Who Lives in the Monitor
Step out of the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, and the light disappeared little by little behind it.
Yan Zheng couldn't help but shiver in the darkness. The weak light of the emergency lights was like a will-o'-the-wisp, and the dark corridor added an eerie feeling.
He fumbled to turn on the corridor light, and when the light returned to the world, Zheng Zheng's fearful heart eased a little.
I don't know how I walked to the dark glass door of Vision Company. The corridor of only a few dozen meters seemed to be as long as a century. If possible, Yan Zheng hoped that this road would be longer.
Reaching the end means that he has to face the horror next. What will be inside?
The eyes are full of skinny ghosts with sunken eye sockets, and the skin is tightly wrapped around the bones. Thinking about it makes me shudder.
He took out the key and opened the door. His hands were shaking due to fear, and he couldn't find the keyhole. The wine bag hanging on his arm also dropped.
Bang.
The muffled sound is not too loud, but it seems particularly scary at special moments.
After many twists and turns, opening the door was as complicated as guessing the combination lock in Yan Zheng's hands. It took Yan Zheng nearly five minutes to open the door. Sweat had already soaked through his vest, and it seemed as if someone was blowing on his back in the cold corridor.
Qi takes away the little heat from the body.
Close your eyes, grit your teeth and open the door.
There are no imaginary demons from Shura Hell blocking the door behind it.
The dark and silent company was as quiet as an ordinary company, with no computers turned on and no flashing codes.
Because no one had taken care of it all year round, there was a smell of decaying furniture and musty smell in the air.
Turn on the company lights along the wall.
The layout of the company immediately comes into view. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs. The small company has everything covered.
On the left is a small reception hall with several sofas and a round table. There is a bar at the end of the floor-to-ceiling glass for employees to rest and enjoy the scenery.
At the innermost side of the small living room are two closed offices. The door numbers read General Manager and Chief Engineer respectively. It seems that they are undoubtedly the offices of Xiao Cao and Xiao Ding.
Directly facing the company door is the front desk. Behind the front desk is a multimedia conference room separated by glass. Through the glass, you can see the messy black seats inside.
The area on the right is about 100 square meters at most and is the office area for employees.
The work cubicles are opposite each other and divided into three rows, separated by aisles. Each row can seat 16 people, and the three rows are full of 48 employees.
It can be seen from the staff facilities that Xiao Cao's company is indeed in a recession. Only the front row is full of computers and the back row is empty.
According to Manager Zhang's description, the computer that the security guard saw turned on was the first computer in the first row on the east side, near the aisle.
This computer is facing the door diagonally. That's the first thing you see when you walk in from the outside.
It is also the last place where Xiao Cao died.
A down-to-earth entrepreneur who doesn't have to mingle with employees in the office.
This was Yan Zheng's evaluation of Xiao Cao after watching the scene.
It's just that his vision was a bit poor, and he didn't know people well, and he was finally tricked. To say that these technical people are so honest, they just worked hard, and they didn't even know they were being sold, and they ended up dead in the end.
Poor people must be hateful. Let's have a good chat with this poor person tonight.
He turned on the power switch in the company and turned on the haunted computer. He placed beer and snacks on the computer table and Yan Zheng ate while waiting.
It was a quiet company late at night, and the hum of the computer host echoed in the empty room.
Every minute and every second is a kind of torture for Yan Zheng. Yan Zheng, who doesn't usually drink, opened a can of beer to relieve the tension in his heart. When he stood up and sat down, he glanced at the computer he was working on from the corner of his eye.
There is a face peering at me on the screen.
The screen was too dark and Yan Zheng couldn't see the face clearly, but those eyes full of hatred made Yan Zheng unforgettable.
The face that appeared for no reason on the mission introduction screen came to mind, and my heart couldn't help but feel a little bit.
Xiao Cao's ghost has appeared, with eyes full of hatred. His experiences during his lifetime made him distrust anyone and hate everyone.
It seems that the conversation tonight will not go well.
Yan Zheng drank a large gulp of beer to pretend to be calm, but his trembling tone betrayed his inner feelings.
"Hello~ I'm the new boss of this company. I heard about your experience and I thought we could talk. I have no other intention, I just want to help you."
Yan Zheng tried to slow down his speaking speed and use a gentle tone, trying not to irritate Xiao Cao.
After speaking, Yan Zheng looked sincerely at the dark computer screen in front of him.
After staring at a cigarette, just when Yan Zheng was about to give up and prepare to speak again, on the dark computer screen, Xiao Cao pounced on Yan Zheng like an evil ghost crawling out of the Nine Nether Hell.
Yan Zheng was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the ferocious evil spirit, and he retreated in fright.
Yan Zheng forgot that he was sitting on the computer chair and how far he could retreat. He overturned the chair due to excessive force, and the beer was scattered on the floor. Yan Zheng fell to the ground and rolled and crawled four or five meters away.
The lonely soul of Xiao Cao on the screen seemed very satisfied with his masterpiece this time. He glared at Yan Zheng fiercely and slowly disappeared.
After lying on the ground for a long time, Yan Zheng gathered up the strength to stand up. His throat was as dry as a rusty iron door, and his words turned into meaningless, "ho~ho~" sounds.
Yan Zheng gasped a dozen times, gritted his teeth with all his strength, and squeezed out a few words. His face looked a little ferocious due to the excessive exertion.
"I~ really want to help you. Our company..."
Yan Zheng didn't want to speak like this, as he knew that his performance could easily cause misunderstandings to Xiao Cao's lonely soul.
He had no choice but to lose control of his body due to extreme fear, and could only make a series of whooshing sounds without exerting all his strength.
The computer host emitted a harsh roar like a tractor, and the lights and display screen flickered violently.
The whole room was like an angry giant, and Yan Zheng was a little unsteady due to the crazy aura.
A line of bloody words slowly appeared on the computer screen.
"Help me? You liars are all liars~ I'm going to kill you!"
The words began to bleed, as if fresh blood was flowing from a freshly cut wound. Soon the words were blurred and blood gushed out like a fountain. A trickle of blood crisscrossed the screen. Soon the blood filled the bottom of the screen, and then quickly overflowed the entire monitor.
Just when blood was about to pour out of the monitor, Yan Zheng rolled and crawled out of the hall.
After crawling all the way to the corridor, he lay on the ground and gasped for air. The boiling Vision Software Company returned to calm in the blink of an eye. There seemed to be a figure running on the grass in the blue sky and white clouds on the desktop on the monitor.
He had neither the strength nor the courage to look back, and the closing of the door had already been forgotten. There was only one thought in Yan Zheng's mind to leave this place. He did not want to face such a hell-like scene again in his life.
Just holding on to the wall, Yan Zheng climbed all the way to the elevator entrance on his knees. After sitting slowly against the wall for half an hour, Yan Zheng tidied up his clothes and adjusted his mood.
Get into the elevator.
In the lobby on the first floor, three security guards looked at Yan Zheng as he walked out of the elevator like a hero. The stretcher at his feet told Yan Zheng that they were well prepared and were always ready to rescue Yan Zheng.
The three security guards were a little surprised when they saw Yan Zheng walking out of the elevator with a careless gait.
Surprised, he asked: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay~" He said it was okay, but his pale and bloodless face betrayed Yan Zheng.
"Do you want me to help you?" The security guard pursed his lips and refused to comment on Yan Zheng's words. He stepped forward to help Yan Zheng.
Yan Zheng waved to the security guard and forced a smile: "Thank you. I can do it myself. By the way, don't go to the second floor tonight~it's a little uneven up there."
As Yan Zheng finished speaking, the three security guards all changed their expressions.
Yan Zheng ignored the three frightened security guards behind him and happily walked out of the Xinchuang Building with the satisfaction of succeeding in his evil deed.
You dare to look down on me, I am a man who has faced evil spirits head on.
Just based on what he said just now, the three security guards tonight would never think about being at ease. When someone is unlucky, the best way is to watch others become unlucky together.
After playing a prank on the security guard, Yan Zheng felt much better and called a car to go home directly.
After returning home and lying on the bed, Yan Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and began to summarize his failure. His psychological quality was too poor and he had no experience in facing such things. He was so frightened that he couldn't find Bei after a few battles. After all, who is a normal person?
If you have this kind of experience, you will avoid this kind of thing, so who can rush to get involved in it.
This is a cheating company. If this continues, I will not only be tricked to death by the company, but also frightened to death.
After all, I underestimated the power of Xiao Cao's lonely ghost. Judging from tonight's performance, Xiao Cao is not an ordinary bonded ghost. Like the taxi driver, he is between a bonded ghost and an evil ghost.
As time goes by, the resentment accumulated in Xiao Cao's heart will sooner or later turn into a real evil ghost. When the time comes, Vision Software Company will no longer be able to restrain Xiao Cao. If the evil ghost escapes, the entire building will become its place of blood sacrifice.
After tonight's stimulation, the transformation speed of Xiao Cao's ghost will definitely speed up a lot.
The speed of recruitment needs to be accelerated. Without help from the company, once Xiao Cao escapes from trouble, he will be the first to suffer.
A day ago, I naively thought that I had figured out the mission routine and that recruiting Xiao Cao's ghost would be easy.
As long as you talk to him boldly, the little ghost will be easily captured.
I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly. I had already tried my best to overestimate the company's insidiousness. I didn't expect that even the recruitment task was a trap for the company.
The company should expect that no matter how it responds, it will anger Xiao Cao and exacerbate his transformation into a villain.
How could Xiao Cao, who had experienced the betrayal of his friends, trust others so easily?
The evil ghost's death is the company's "insurance". After successfully accepting the task, employees still face the risk of being killed by the evil ghost. On the surface, it seems that the task can be completed, but in fact it is a fatal situation.
But, there is still a glimmer of hope.
As long as we can negotiate, we still have a chance.
Chapter completed!
