long night fire

……

"Hi everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly news announcer, and it's 8 o'clock in the evening..."

Long Yuehong sat beside the bed in Bai Chen's room, listening to the familiar, slightly childish voice echoing, she couldn't help laughing and said:

"I heard that Houyi is actually one of the special cases of genetic modification failure. She is less than 1.6 meters tall, but she has a cheerful personality, a natural good voice, and never gives up on herself. As a result, she has become the most popular among company employees in the past seven years. announcer."

"Then she's not very old, no more than thirty." Bai Chen nodded, "I thought she was the announcer you've heard since childhood, and she's already 50 or [-] years old."

"How is it possible to have such a voice at the age of 50?" Long Yuehong replied with a smile.

Then, he refuted himself:

"Not necessarily, Hou Yi is now 27, and his voice has not changed much."

"Some people are born with a childish voice, and it doesn't change until they are over 60 years old." Bai Chen has met similar people before.

That was in the original city.

After chatting for a few words, Long Yuehong got up and said:

"I have to go back."

Got a promotion today, got an award, and he can't wait to share it with his family.

He is now a D8 employee. Once he is transferred to the back office and leaves the security department, he can be directly promoted to D9.

This is the highest status that ordinary employees can aspire to.

As for management positions, they are hard to come by.

In addition, Long Yuehong chose to go back today because she and Bai Chen haven't registered yet, so it's not very good to stay here all the time.

"I'll see you off." Bai Chen followed and stood up.

Long Yuehong felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.

After leaving the room, Long Yuehong still held Bai Chen's hand and walked slowly towards the elevator room when he came to a place called a street but actually a corridor.

Bai Chen was silent for a while, and asked:

"What should I pay attention to when I go to your house?"

Long Yuehong thought about it seriously and said:

"There is nothing to pay attention to. As the team leader said, just be normal and be polite."

Frankly speaking, he has no experience, so he can only trust Jiang Baimian.

As for Jiang Baimian also having no corresponding experience in this kind of thing, Long Yuehong didn't care too much, because Jiang Baimian told him and Bai Chen that since she was a child, she would always be affirmed when she visited other people's homes. The kid next door boasted.

At that time, the honest Shang Jianyao said in a low voice:

"Maybe it's not because you are polite and know how to read words and expressions, but because your father is the management."

Jiang Baimian told Long Yuehong and Bai Chen with practice, what is the end of being rude and not knowing how to observe words and expressions.

"Yeah." Bai Chen recalled the core words taught by the team leader - listen more and talk less, praise more and complain less, laugh more and move less.

It was a rare opportunity to comfort his girlfriend, Long Yuehong was about to say a few more words when she suddenly saw a person walking towards her.

The man's skin was dark, his face was bumpy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his appearance was below average. At first glance, he had not undergone genetic modification.

Long Yuehong knew this person. It was the foreign employee he met when he went to the public toilet on this floor in the middle of the night.

The other party, who was wearing a gray-green camouflage uniform, was in a hurry and quickly passed them.

Bai Chen glanced sideways at Long Yuehong:

"You seem to know him?"

"Hey, when I made a prank, I went to the public toilet and met him smoking in it." Long Yuehong said truthfully.

Bai Chen said "hmm":

"His name is Wang Xi, and he joined the company only last year.

"I heard that they have a bad temper and often quarrel with others. If it weren't for the company's orderly supervision room, they might fight."

"Really? He has a good temper." Long Yuehong said that in the short contact between herself and Wang Xi, the other party was very polite. Although he was too hasty at the time, which caused the scene to be rather embarrassing, Wang Xi was a little annoyed, but Nor did it hurt anyone.

Bai Chen glanced at Long Yuehong's mechanical arm and said:

"It is impossible for a former wilderness wanderer to always be irritable. Such a person will not live to this age."

She paused, recalling something:

"He seems to often go to the public toilet in the middle of the night, and several neighbors have encountered him."

"It's normal, let's get used to it." Long Yuehong said indifferently.

At this time, the two had arrived in the elevator room. He reluctantly waved goodbye and pressed the button representing the 495th floor.

Before returning home, Long Yuehong went to the supply market and bought some more fruits and snacks.

"Wow, there's something delicious again!" Long Aihong ran over as soon as she saw her brother walk into the house, and took the bag from his hand.

Gu Hong complained with a smile on her face:

"Why did you buy these again?

"I just finished eating the previous one!"

Long Yuehong took advantage of this and said:

"Our rewards for this mission have been distributed, and there are [-] contribution points."

"Another [-]!" Although Long Aihong is used to the fact that her brother can get a large reward every time she comes back, she still can't hide her joy.

Long Dayong was relieved and sighed a little.

The smile on Gu Hong's face became wider, and she asked with a suppressed voice:

"Have you been promoted?"

Long Aihong immediately pricked up her ears.

"D8." Long Yuehong was more and more able to talk about her promotion calmly.

He no longer needs Shang Jianyao's help in publicity.

"Ah, God bless you." Gu Hong clasped her hands together and shook them casually.

Long Aihong said expectantly:

"Brother, your D9 is definitely not a problem, if one day you can enter the management, I will be able to assign a good job in the future!

"My classmates are so envious of me, many of them want to be my sister-in-law!"

"What are you thinking? You want to implicate your brother, meddling in work assignments is a big taboo!" Gu Hong scolded her daughter, "This is how I know: don't worry about assigning work, wait a year or two , Find an excuse and reassign."

"There's nothing wrong with this." Long Dayong muttered in a low voice, and then said to Long Yuehong, "Look at them, hey..."

Long Yuehong smiled and said nothing.

Just be happy.

Anyway, I never thought I could become a manager.

……

The next morning, on the 647th floor, in room 14.

Shang Jianyao described in detail the "sad" and "heartbroken" things he encountered in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

He said without doubt:

"Where did the problem come from? Why did I let everyone treat me with the same attitude as before, and even after I believed it was true, I still couldn't break through?"

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen fell silent, looking for possible reasons.

Conjectures were put forward one by one, and they were denied one after another.

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian had a flash of inspiration and remembered something that Shang Jianyao had mentioned before:

"You seem to have said last time that after the explosion, when those people looked at you, their expressions were indifferent, and the muscles on their faces were stiff, like corpses without emotion."

"Yes." Shang Jian Yao nodded.

Jiang Baimian thought about it:

"Perhaps, those people did become corpses.

"After the accident in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, those people may have all died. What the owner of the room can't get rid of is the attitude they had towards themselves before they died, and they know that this can never be changed.

"So, this has become his psychological shadow, and no matter how much you change the attitude of those people, he subconsciously knows that this is false."

"It's possible." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, "How did the owner of the room defeat the corresponding island and reconcile with himself?"

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"It may have to do with why those people changed their attitude towards the owner of the room.

"If you understand this, you will have the basis for reconciliation with yourself."

Then, Jiang Baimian talked about his guess last night—the owner of the room made a mistake, or discovered some secret, which led to the disaster of the Fourth Research Institute, and the people there unanimously changed their attitude towards him.

Long Yuehong felt her heart palpitate:

"I really can't imagine anyone betraying where they were born and raised."

This is the same as he can't imagine himself breaking away from the "Pangaean creature".

He felt that if something similar happened to him, he might commit suicide.

Shang Jian Yao heard the words, and suddenly sang a song:

"Living like this for 30 years, until the building collapsed..." (Note 1)

Jiang Baimian gave this guy a blank look, and was about to say something when the phone in the office rang.

Su Yu received Shang Jianyao's report and agreed to his request to meet.

Note 1: "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man", Universal Youth Hostel

Chapter 18 Insinuating

Basement building, fifth floor, inside Su Yu's office, sofa area.

Shang Jianyao met the director of the board of directors again.

"Why did you suddenly tell me something?" Su Yu picked up the enamel water glass and gulped down two gulps.

Shang Jianyao, who is currently Chan Master Pudu, did not answer immediately, but asked with concern:

"Director Su, is the report I submitted okay?"

Su Yu took out a tissue and wiped the water from the corners of her mouth and the sweat from her forehead:

"Excellent.

"Especially the shadow of the cruise ship, we have never experienced anything like it before, it is so special that it can 'save' the previous exploration progress, and every time it enters it will make the timeline jump.

"You can find the key and break through such a shadow, which is enough to show that your observation ability, reasoning ability, and judgment ability are all outstanding."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

To be honest he is not at all humble:

"I think so."

Su Yu was no longer surprised by his performance, and said with a smile:

"This kind of special psychological shadow involves the 'new world', and it has certain reference value for several strong people in the company, and we will give you enough rewards.

"Is there anything you want?"

Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation:

"Put a phone in my room!"

"..." Su Yu was stunned for a moment, "That's all?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly.

Su Yu, who has a military style and military temperament, thought for a few seconds and said:
