Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 435 "2188 Building" Manager Meng's Request

Liao Hongqiao couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The second rule of the company says that you can't doze off in the office. If necessary, go to the supermarket on the first floor of the company to buy coffee.

But now, Zong Haisheng's discovery shows that... drinking coffee seems to trigger another hidden death rule?

Does this mean that the company has many other such "hidden death rules"?

Did those who died drink the same coffee, or did they fall asleep in the office at night?

Liao Hongqiao was confused.

"Mr. Zong, can you tell what brand of coffee they drank?"

Zong Haisheng thought seriously:

"It seems to be... Chicken Nest Coffee."

"Yesterday afternoon, the guy sitting opposite me bought a bag of Chicken Nest Coffee because he was sleepy... But why didn't he die?"

The two looked at each other, confused.

Once again carefully examined the body.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, they went to the fourth and fifth floors, checked them one by one, and then returned to the third floor.

Zhao Yi was squatting next to the smelly corpses, talking to someone.

"Okay... Thank you very much!"

He hung up the phone, looked at Liao Hongqiao and asked:

"Did you find anything?"

Liao Hongqiao glanced at Zong Haisheng and motioned him to speak.

Zong Haisheng adjusted his nausea and said:

"We checked the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors, a total of 30 bodies, and found that these dead people with no wounds on their bodies have one thing in common - they all drank chicken coop coffee before they died!"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"What else?"

What else?

Zong Haisheng was stunned.

What else?

Seeing his confused look, Zhao Yi pointed at the fingers of these people on the ground:

"Do their fingers move the same as the fingers of these corpses?"

Zong Haisheng nodded:

"Exactly the same!"

"They are all the same as drinking coffee from a cup!"

After a pause, he looked at the fingers of the corpses and added:

"And, judging from the shape of their fingers, the cups they drank coffee from...seem to be the same."

Zhao Yi replied:

"This is where things get weird."

"I checked the cups these people drank water from in the morning, right in the office..."

"The models of their cups are not the same."

"Especially the handles."

"So if they really drank coffee from their own cups, then the gestures they held the cups before they died would not be...exactly the same as now."

The two of them were enlightened when they heard this.

They are not players, but the natives of the Chaos Realm.

So they don't know Zhao Yi's name, they just think this mysterious guy in front of them...is very strong!

"Their cause of death... has nothing to do with coffee."

"It's about the coffee cup that holds the coffee."

"If my guess is correct, then these people all drank coffee from the same coffee cup before they died."

When the two heard this, they immediately became excited!

If they find that coffee cup, they might be able to figure out the real cause of death of those people. And if they figure out the cause of death of these people, they might be able to find a way to break the rules!

Zhao Yi looked at their excitement, checked the time on his phone, and said:

"If you don't mind wasting time, you can try to find that coffee cup first. I have to go to the entrance of the building. I asked someone to buy some things outside..."

Liao Hongqiao and Zong Haisheng nodded:

"Okay!"

The three of them acted separately.

As soon as Zhao Yi went down the stairs, he came to the entrance of the building in the sun. After a brief negotiation with the security guard, a man in a black jacket and a baseball cap walked out of the security room and handed a notebook to Zhao Yi.

He didn't say a word to Zhao Yi, and turned around and left the 2188 Building with a new list.

Zhao Yi took the notebook and put it in his clothes, returned to C301, and sat back in his seat. He used candlelight to warm his hand, which was surging with black energy, and then opened the notebook.

There was only one line of words on it:

[When a supernatural being appears around you, it will heat up... The hotter it is, the stronger the supernatural being is! ]

After reading it, Zhao Yi closed the notebook and put it in his clothes on his chest.

Not long after, Liao Hongqiao and Zong Haisheng also returned to the office.

They exchanged glances and told Zhao Yi that they did not find the cup.

Zhao Yi nodded and continued to work.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he got up and went to the toilet. At the entrance of the corridor, he called the general manager Meng Cunhua:

"Yes, General Manager Meng, I am Xiao Zhao... It's nothing, I just want to consult you about a question..."

"100 yuan, right... It's not expensive! I feel bad for wasting Mr. Meng's time and not being filial to you at all..."

"I want to ask Mr. Meng, where do you clean up the things of some colleagues who died in accidents?"

"Hey... Don't you think you can do more for the company? Otherwise, the company will have to spend money to hire someone to clean up, right?"

"At the waste collection station... OK, thank you, General Manager Meng."

Zhao Yi was about to hang up the phone, but heard Meng Cunhua say sinisterly:

"Originally I didn't want to tell you about this... but I think you're a good kid, sensible..."

"The scrap collection station is not a safe place. Before you go, buy a black cloak in the corner of the supermarket..."

"By the way... bring me something."

Zhao Yi's heart moved:

"Manager Meng, please speak."

Meng Cunhua lowered his voice:

"Help me find a rusty broken knife..."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows.

"What kind of broken knife is the manager talking about?"

Meng Cunhua said:

"I'll send you a picture later, and reduce your working hours... Go to the scrap collection station tonight and try your luck. It would be best if you can find that knife..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yi received the picture sent by Meng Cunhua soon.

It was a very ordinary broken knife.

It was mottled with rust stains, and the color was slightly darker than the usual rust stains.

Zhao Yi could tell at a glance that the knife was stained with blood.

"It's really interesting..."

He murmured.

As a senior executive of the company, Meng Cunhua must have more authority than himself.

At least, he can deduct his salary.

But someone with such great authority needs me to help him get this rusty knife stained with blood.

"It seems that the knife is very important and dangerous..."

"I am definitely not the first person to go there..."

"Before me, many employees must have died at the scrap collection station."

Zhao Yi turned off his mobile phone and returned to the office calmly.

He must go to the scrap collection station. The coffee cup is very important. If he finds the coffee cup, he can find out the real cause of death of those people, and even some secrets about the company.

On the clean and tidy desk, the clock that counts his time at his work station has changed to 4 hours.

This means that Zhao Yi can get off work at 8 o'clock today.

Continue to work.

Until dusk falls outside the window.

The countdown on the clock is completely reset to zero. Zhao Yi stood up, packed up his things simply, and left the office.

Zong Haisheng and Liao Hongqiao glanced at the clock on Zhao Yi's desk, were silent for a while, and followed Zhao Yi out of the office.

They caught up with Zhao Yi and wanted to help.

Zhao Yi glanced at the two of them and said:

"Have you thought it through?"

"You may not be able to come back this time."

Liao Hongqiao said seriously:

"Zhao Yi, please help us to an appropriate extent... Mr. Zong and I need to earn enough points in the movie, these points are really important to us!"

"In return, we are willing to pay part of the reward after the movie!"

Her tone was very sincere.

But she couldn't hide the competitive look in her eyes at all.

"You are such an ambitious girl..."

Zhao Yi praised, and then looked at Zong Haisheng again:

"Learn something."

Zong Haisheng's face immediately turned blue, but he didn't know what to say to refute.

In his eyes, Zhao Yi was indeed very good, but he had the potential to become a love rival.

Came to the supermarket.

The three of them spent 210 yuan each to buy three black robes, and then the two of them spent 90 yuan each to buy a pack of cigarettes for Zhao Yi.

"I have an immature question."

Zong Haisheng put on a black robe that didn't fit him well, followed Zhao Yi out of the building, and asked Zhao Yi, who was smoking, a question under the moonlight.

"In theory, we should be as careful as possible when we go to the waste collection station this time. After you smoke, you will have a smell on your body. If you attract the attention of something..., won't we be in danger?"

Zhao Yi bumped his shoulder with his elbow and corrected him:

"You don't smoke, but the temperature is very high during the day, and the temperature gradually returns to normal at night. Now that the sweat on your body has dried, the smell is still very strong."

"As for Ms. Liao, there is also the smell of perfume on her body. Although it is not as strong as the smell of cigarettes, if there is something with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, then even if I don't smoke, it will target us. Do you understand?"

Zong Haisheng was stunned by what Zhao Yi said.

Originally, he just wanted to use Zhao Yi's smoking to catch Zhao Yi's shortcomings, so that Zhao Yi would not look so good...

But what he said just now made sense!

I was speechless!

The three of them sneaked to the scrap collection station in the west corner of the 2188 building.

It was a very dark seven-story old building with cracked walls and some damp places covered with green moss. The stench came with the night wind and penetrated into the lungs.

Except for rats and bacteria, it seems that no one likes this smell.

"This is... the smell of corpses."

Zong Haisheng had just smelled the stench of many rotting corpses at noon, and it felt like a lingering sound. Now when he smelled this smell, he couldn't help it and squatted on the ground to vomit.

Liao Hongqiao patted him on the back, took out some tissues, and helped Zong Haisheng wipe his mouth.

Under the night, the scrap collection station in the distance looked particularly gloomy.

"After we go in, we will search separately. No matter whether we can find it or not, we will come out directly after ten minutes!"

"Do you understand?"

Zong Haisheng said while holding back the nausea in his stomach:

"If we separate...will it be more dangerous?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"You can stay together."

"But the efficiency will be reduced. Although it is more dangerous to separate, the probability of finding something will also be greater."

"You guys go to the first, second and third floors later, I'll go to the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh floors."

"Watch your time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them headed towards the dark waste collection building...
