In an instant.
The twisted human face on the pillow suddenly froze, as if he had witnessed the most horrific scene in the world.
The next moment.
A sharp scream exploded in the sealed room, and then stopped abruptly.
The deathly silence spread like a tide, swallowing up all the screams just now.
The room fell silent, without any sound.
It's as if there isn't even a trace of sound coming from here.
The corridor outside the door was still quiet.
All dormitory doors are closed.
At this moment, in another room.
Ji Huan sat beside the bed and looked at Employee Handbook in his hand.
Frowning slightly.
"No wonder the headquarters named it Rule Horror. Do you think these are the rules that need to be followed in this weird story? It's just that it's a bit too much, and it won't be possible to remember it in a short time!
If it is triggered, will I be attacked by this strange story? "
"Yes, on the other hand, as long as you abide by the rules and don't violate them, the so-called power of ghost stories cannot affect you, but the feeling here is very different to me."
"Ji Shang, it's too risky for you to enter here this time!"
At this time.
A man's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
The source of the sound is no other.
It's the purple bracelet Ji Huan is wearing.
Ji Huan No, it should be Ji Shang.
Her appearance now has undergone some changes compared to before. Without careful identification, it is impossible to recognize that she is the same person.
As for the ID card issue.
As someone with an official background, it is not difficult for her to get an identity. Even if she checks it, the identity Ji Huan is real.
Disguising your identity is just to better deal with strange stories.
After all, as Weapon Wielder, it is easy to be photographed online, although in general, the authorities will deal with it.
Turning his face into a coded one, there is no guarantee that he will not be recognized and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Then why did Lin Sheng dare to come in? You can't do it, right?"
Ji Shang asked.
"Hmph! People want to die, is it possible that you want to die too?"
Shuo Qiu's tone paused.
Some people hate iron but cannot make it into steel.
To be honest, he regretted it now.
If you give him another chance.
He will definitely not choose to be bound to Ji Shang. Although this master has grown very quickly and is extremely compatible with him, he is enough to rank among the top three Weapon Wielder masters in the past..
But I can't stand this guy who likes to seek death and will run wherever there is danger.
If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will die before it can grow up.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. Although the weapon has the right to choose its owner, after binding the owner, it cannot unbind it without authorization.
Unless the current owner died due to some accident.
Only in this way can the weapon be detached.
And during this period, no matter what the master wants to do, the weapon has no ability to interfere.
The weapon itself is simply a tool and cannot violate the will of its owner.
"If you encounter danger later, try your best to find that Lin Sheng!"
Shuo Qiu thought for a while and then reminded.
Speaking of Hu Qi.
Shuo Qiu's voice revealed a rare hint of solemnity.
As one of Ten Great Martial Artifacts, Purple Thorn Scythe ranks third.
Needless to say, its power goes without saying.
In terms of strength, it can be said to be superior to many weapons in the world.
With his strength, he is not afraid even if he encounters Ten Great Martial Artifacts, the second King's Treasure.
But only that Lin Sheng.
Because his last master was killed by the other party with just one move.
Just kill his last master.
The other person is simply not a human being.
No, that kind of power, even thinking about it now, made him tremble a little.
In this world, there were originally only nine supreme weapons.
That all changed until ten years ago.
The man named Lin Sheng came from nowhere.
When he first appeared, he showed great strength and suppressed the nine great Weapon Wielder at that time with overwhelming power.
The reason why the opponent is judged to be Weapon Wielder is because humans can only obtain this kind of power by relying on weapons.
However, so far, the 'First Weapon' in the opponent's hand has never shown its true appearance.
What exactly is that weapon, where does it come from, and why is it superior to the nine weapons?
What it looks like, no one knows.
All this is still a mystery that no one can solve.
"You want me to find him?"
Ji Shang is a little surprised.
During this time together.
She had a more or less general understanding of the character of her weapon.
Very proud, to describe it in one sentence.
You always look at people through your nostrils. Even when facing other Weapon Wielder who are also Ten Great Martial Artifacts, the other party doesn't take it to heart.
But now, he actually said such words.
That can only mean that this place is indeed dangerous, and even Shuo Qiu, who is the third Ten Great Martial Artifacts, is not sure.
"Yes, he is very strong, very strong. If anyone has the ability to solve strange stories, it is only this person."
Shuofeng explained.
"Although that person has a cold personality, he is not a villain who kills randomly, otherwise the world would not be able to maintain its current normal situation.
Of course, this premise is that you don't make the other person angry. "
Speaking of which.
Shuo Qiu remembered his last master, that guy was a complete fighting maniac.
After being defeated, he refuses to accept, and insists on fighting again, insisting on shouting about a life-or-death showdown.
As a result, he was directly killed on the spot by the opponent. He died without even a scrap left, and there was no way to bury him!
Ji Shang just wanted to say something.
Gululu——!
Just then.
Ji Shang Suddenly, I felt my toes hit a round object.
She looked down subconsciously.
A pitch-black ball was slowly rolling out from under the bed, drawing a wet and strange path on the wooden floor.
"This is."
For some reason, her arm suddenly stretched forward uncontrollably, her fingers slightly spread, and she was about to touch the ball.
"Stop! Open your eyes and see clearly what that is!"
Shuo Qiu's roar was like thunder.
Ji Shang trembled all over and suddenly woke up. Her pupils suddenly contracted.
What kind of ball is that? It was clearly a pale human head!
The black blood oozing from the seven orifices snaked on the rotting face and dripped on the floor.
The cloudy eyes were staring straight at her.
"Uh"
Ji Shang's breath froze in an instant, and a biting chill ran up his spine and up to Tianling Gai.
Although she is Weapon Wielder, in the final analysis she is only a teenager.
The impact and tension brought by this kind of scene was still too intense, making her unable to withstand it.
At this moment, the head suddenly twitched and bounced!
Coming towards Ji Shang.
Because according to the rules, Ji Shang's feet just touched the opponent.
It was about to hit Ji Shang.
suddenly.
The bracelet on her wrist lit up with a purple light and turned into a barrier.
The head that was hit was directly ejected.
Boom!
The rotting head hit the floor hard, and the flying maggots almost grazed her fingertips.
"Lie down! Face the wall!"
Shuo Qiu's voice is urgent.
Ji Shang immediately lay on the bed.
She leaned back outside, her face pressed against the cold wall, and heard a creepy bouncing sound behind her.
Boom!
Boom!
Every Infrasound ring is one point closer.
When there was a second muffled sound, she clearly felt the mattress dent a little, and the head landed right behind her!
She even felt the hair sticking to her back.
"Don't move."
Shuo Qiu's voice was tense.
"It's still watching you. According to the rules, as long as it's completely dark, you'll be fine!"
Hearing this, Ji Shang just gritted his teeth.
She could feel the head turning slowly behind her, and its sticky eyes crawling across every inch of her skin like slugs.
Time passes minute by minute.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and was finally completely enveloped by the thick night.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Wang Min's hoarse and deep voice sounded particularly harsh in the silence:
"Okay, it's almost time. Get ready, put on your work clothes, come out first and I will talk to you about our respective jobs. We will open in half an hour!"
His voice was like a dull knife, cutting through the silence in the dormitory area.
"Squeak——"
The welcome falls after every few seconds.
The first door opens.
Hu Qi stepped out of the room. He had already put on blue work clothes, which were smooth without a trace of wrinkles. His face had a usual calm expression.
Next is the door of Ji Shang.
She walked out rubbing her sleepy eyes, her messy hair sticking up behind her head, and the collar of her work clothes turned crookedly.
She yawned, with some tears leaking from the corners of her eyes, as if she had just woken up.
Waited a few more minutes.
Ma Shuo's door just opened.
Different from Hu Qi, Ji Shang.
His face was as pale as paper, his fingers holding the door frame were shaking slightly, his knees seemed unable to bear the weight of his body, and his walking posture seemed particularly stiff.
It looked like my legs were numb from holding one position for a long time.
After the three people came out,
The doors of other dormitories on both sides of the corridor were still closed, and there was no movement inside, as if no one had ever lived in those rooms.
"It seems that you have had a good rest. It is still a while before the opening time at seven o'clock. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the store environment and assign you some tasks."
Wang Min glanced around everyone.
Finally it fell on Ma Shuo.
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile.
It seemed that they had already anticipated what happened to everyone.
As for Hu Qi and Ji Shang, they may have never encountered this state.
But this is also a matter of time.
"I... I quit! I want to go home!"
Ma Shuo's voice trembled, and his lips trembled as he squeezed out these words.
His face was pale and there was cold sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock just now.
Previously, there were bloody handprints in his room, which appeared densely on the wall, as if countless invisible people were slapping and scratching until the entire wall was stained red.
It wasn't a prank, it wasn't a hallucination, it was a haunting.
No matter how high the wages and benefits are here, you only have one life! No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it with life!
At this moment, he finally knew why there was still a shortage of people with such good welfare benefits.
Capitalists are indeed not good people.
Finish this sentence.
He glanced at Hu Qi and Ji Shang.
There was no reaction from the two people.
He didn't stop, turned around, raised his feet and was about to rush downstairs.
However, Wang Min's cold voice sounded behind him.
"If you want to die, just go out and try."
Ma Shuo's footsteps suddenly froze, as if they were tied by invisible chains.
Swallowing, he slowly turned back.
Although he is not a genius, he is still a college student and he still has basic judgment.
Wang Min's words... don't sound like a threat, but more like a warning.
Think of what you saw before.
Ma Shuo's mouth was trembling, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, as long as you follow the rules, you'll be fine."
Wang Min glanced at him, then glanced at Hu Qi and Ji Shang.
"The same goes for you two. I hope you can live a little longer. After all, I am tired of bringing someone new every time."
Subsequently.
Wang Min led the three of them to talk about the current basic situation in the library, and then introduced themselves.
Then assign tasks to several people.
Wang Min, Ji Shang, Ma Shuo are on the first floor.
Hu Qi is responsible for the second floor alone.
"I want to work with him on the second floor!"
Ji Shang looked at the situation in front of him, and Shuo Qiu's instructions flashed in his mind.
She reached out and pointed to Lin Sheng beside her.
"No!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Min flatly refused, his voice as cold as ice.
"We need manpower on the first floor, someone to man the bar, someone to replenish books in the underground library, and someone to patrol the reading area on the first floor. The distribution of three people is just right."
"It's enough for one person to take care of the borrowing area on the second floor."
Having said this, he glanced sideways at Ji Shang.
"If you insist on being on the second floor, you can change positions with him."
Ji Shang frowned, but ultimately said nothing.
The three people quickly went down to the first floor, but Hu Qi stayed on the second floor.
Before leaving, Wang Min glanced at Hu Qi coldly and said nothing.
"Do your job well! If you die here, no one will collect your body!"
Looking at Wang Min's leaving figure, Hu Qi touched his chin.
He clearly felt the hostility in the other party's words, but he couldn't figure out where the hostility came from.
He has always been a kind person and never took the initiative to make grudges with others.
Not even a living enemy.
That must be the other party's problem.
"Forget it, just pinch yourself to death if you really offend me."
He didn't think any further.
I took a look at the lending area here.
The wooden bookshelves cast long shadows in the dim light, and the unique smell of paper wafted in the air.
He walked slowly through them.
Started wandering around here.
Pull out one of the books at random.
There is a bookmark stuck in the book.
It's the same as the one I got in Qingyuan Hotel.
However, what worries Hu Qi is that the content in these books itself has problems.
What is recorded in the book in his hand is a strange story.
About some kind of monster that likes to hide in cracks and peek at living people.
They will always secretly observe you inadvertently, and eventually there will be more and more of these eyes, and they will even grow directly on the body of the person being observed.
If he guessed correctly, the books and bookmarks here are the source of strange stories.
Each book is actually a true ghost story.
So, where is the source of this library?
As expected, this body's strength was still too weak, and it didn't sense where the thing was.
Wait and see what happens next. If that doesn't work, you can only wait for three days to become a formal employee, and maybe you can have access to that thing.
If that doesn't work, then just destroy this bookstore.
While he was thinking, Hu Qi suddenly felt a peeping gaze.
He looked up suddenly.
In the gap between the bookshelves directly opposite, a pale face was hiding in it, with a dark pupil staring straight at him.
The eyes were filled with a strange and sticky malice.
puff!
But the next second.
Without warning.
That eyeball exploded directly.
