Not long after, Xiao Jin and others arrived at the meeting room as notified.

As soon as they entered, they noticed that the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing, and there was an indescribable tension in the air.

Under the dim light, the conference room was already full of people, no, it should be said that it was full of ghosts.

Xiao Jin raised his eyes and found that in addition to the night shift staff, there were also several managers attending the meeting.

These managers are all familiar faces. They are the evil managers who were killed by the players during the night shift a few days ago.

At this moment, these people were actually sitting in their seats intact, and their eyes were full of resentment and hatred when they looked at the players.

Whoops!

Several people were shocked when they saw this scene out of the blue.

Wang Zhongyan swallowed his saliva and felt his scalp tingling. He didn't dare to look the managers in the eye, so he lowered his head and found a place to sit down.

"It seems that tonight's meeting will not be very peaceful." Zhan Wenchen pushed his glasses and said in a low voice.

After the rest of the people were seated, Xiao Jin glanced around and then set his sights on an empty seat in the front.

If I'm not mistaken, that position must be reserved for the general manager who has never shown up!

Everyone waited for about ten minutes, and the players and evil spirits were getting a little impatient.

The black air surrounding the evil spirit is looming, and the props in the players' hands are ready to go.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a tall figure walked in.

The man was wearing a well-tailored black suit. He had an almost eerie handsome face, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Jian Yiqiu, the general manager of Weishuo Financial Company. I will be hosting this meeting."

His deep, magnetic voice seemed to carry some kind of magic that made people involuntarily sink into it.

Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted. She stared at Jian Yiqiu intently, with turbulent waves in her heart.

She is very familiar with this face!

In previous survival games, there was always an NPC that frequently appeared around him. They had the same face, but their identities and names were uncertain, and Xiao Jin didn't know what he was.

But this was the first time Xiao Jin heard the other party use his old name.

Cui Mingyang, Xu Qing, Zhan Wenchen and Nie Xinxin were also shocked. All four of them had seen this Jian Yiqiu before, and not in the same copy.

However, they did not exchange information with each other, so after being shocked, they put the matter behind them and did not shout about it.

Things happened so fast, and the veteran players were basically first-rate in controlling their emotions.

Therefore, Wang Zhongyan and Wang Bing, who were completely unaware of the situation, did not notice anything unusual about Xiao Jin and others.

Time returns to the present.

After Jian Yiqiu introduced himself, he sat down in the first seat. When he looked up, his eyes swept across the players without leaving a trace, and finally stopped on Xiao Jin.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he nodded gently, as if saying hello.

Xiao Jin couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She immediately realized that Jian Yiqiu actually had memories this time and even recognized her!

As if seeing the waves in Xiao Jin's heart, Jian Yiqiu's smile deepened.

"Everyone, first of all, as a member of the company, I very much welcome you to join us." Jian Yiqiu's arrival also marked the official start of the meeting.

Xiao Jin was shocked when he saw this just now, but when he turned around, he found that the ghost managers who were restless just now suddenly became quiet and behaved like children.

Not only did they sit up straight, but they also stared at the table with their heads down, as if they were very afraid of Jian Yiqiu.

Xiao Jin immediately thought of the big boss who transformed into a ghost school when he was in Linhai High School. At that time, he was almost killed by Jian Yiqiu.

But in the end, she turned a disaster into a blessing and took the opportunity to advance to become a psychic.

Jian Yiqiu said a lot later, but Nie Xinxin didn't listen at all.

If she was just a little confused when she saw that face just now, when Nie Xinxin heard the name that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, her inner surprise almost overflowed.

No! He said...what's his name?

Nie Xinxin was so excited that she even spoke in her hometown dialect.

Nie Xinxin's jaw almost dropped in shock.

She was a little confused at the moment. After all, she had met Jian Yiqiu in the extremely cold world. Could it be that the other party was not an NPC but a player?

But this is impossible!

Because the timing was wrong, Nie Xinxin could only suppress her inner doubts and frequently looked towards Xiao Jin's position.

Xiao Jin, who was standing aside, looked helpless as he was stared at by five pairs of eyes, both openly and secretly.

Don't look at her, she can't figure it out now.

However, Xiao Jin knew that since Jian Yiqiu chose to expose himself at this moment, it meant that he must be willing to discuss some secrets of the survival game with him.

The meeting was still going on, and Jian Yiqiu also stated the focus of this meeting, which was to hope that the night shift staff could strengthen communication with the day shift staff.

To this end, the company deliberately expanded the number of night shift workers, and some day shift workers would stay in the company every night.

But this would also explain why the office building was so "lively" tonight.

Jian Yiqiu seemed very satisfied with the company's new decision, but the players felt that there were more evil spirits.

Then the players received a task, which required each of them to stay with a staff member tonight. They had to make a choice, but they could decide who the choice would be.

After seeing this task, Xiao Jin was not surprised at all. She said to herself, "As expected."

Then, when the other players were struggling over which staff member to choose, Xiao Jin refused the interview with Nie Xinxin and others and went directly to Jian Yiqiu.

The general manager is also a staff member of the company, so how can he not be counted!

Jian Yiqiu seemed to have been waiting for a long time, but he was not surprised. It was more like this was exactly what he wanted.

Then Jian Yiqiu smiled and took Xiao Jin directly to the 44th floor.

Seeing Xiao Jin and the other person leave, the other players became even more confused!

They didn't really want to find a ghost manager to complete the task. The looks of these old men were too scary, so they left the meeting room and went outside to look for him.

Soon, everyone found their target.

Over the next few hours, players must engage in "friendly interactions" with the target, which can take the form of conversation, work, or even going to the bathroom together.

There is a progress bar on each player's panel, and the task is completed when the bar is full.

………………

At the same time, Xiao Jin followed behind Jian Yiqiu, his eyes fixed on the smooth elevator board.

For some reason, Xiao Jin's mind was full of questions when they were not alone together, but when the two of them really had a chance to talk, she didn't know what to say!

The 44th floor is where the general manager's office is located, and it is also the top floor where Shuowei Company is located.

Xiao Jin followed Jian Yiqiu through the long corridor and came to the door of his office.

Jian Yiqiu pushed open the door and motioned Xiao Jin to come in. Xiao Jin took a deep breath and walked into the office.

The office is luxuriously decorated, but it exudes a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

Xiao Jin's eyes swept across the chair behind the desk and the familiar ornaments on the table, and he instantly thought of the gaze that had once been looking at him.

At that time, Xiao Jin did not feel any malice, but he was always bothered by that look.

Now that I think about it, it must be Jian Yiqiu who was observing me!

"Sit down." Jian Yiqiu walked to the sofa and sat down, motioning Xiao Jin to sit down as well.

Xiao Jin didn't hesitate and sat directly opposite Jian Yiqiu, looking straight at him, waiting for what to come next.

Jian Yiqiu smiled slightly and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to answer them. I can only tell you that this game is much more complicated than you think."

Xiao Jin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why do you appear in every game?"

Jian Yiqiu did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think is the purpose of this game?"

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. She had thought about this question before, but never found the answer.

"Is it for screening?" Xiao Jin gave his answer tentatively.

Jian Yiqiu shook his head and said, "No, the real purpose of this game is to awaken."

"Wake up?" Xiao Jin looked at Jian Yiqiu puzzledly.

"That's right, awaken." Jian Yiqiu's eyes became deeper, "Awaken the power that is dormant deep in human genes, and awaken humans to their own potential."

Xiao Jin's heart was shocked. She seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

"But why use this method?" Xiao Jin was puzzled.

And according to Jian Yiqiu's words, he clearly defined himself as the good side in the survival game.

But from my own experience along the way, the system has set big traps for players several times, and the method of survival of the fittest is a bit too ruthless!

"In order to awaken self-awareness, do we have to eliminate the weak people? What do those old people and children say!" Xiao Jin asked bluntly.

"Because only when facing a life-and-death crisis can humans truly unleash their potential. No matter who you are, growth is inherently cruel," Jian Yiqiu explained.

"Hehe~" Xiao Jin smiled coldly.

"Hey, don't get excited, let me explain first." Seeing Xiao Jin's unfriendly look, Jian Yiqiu raised his hands decisively: "All the above answers are my answers in strict accordance with the procedures.

As for me... "Jian Yiqiu grinned: "That's all bullshit."

Xiao Jin: "...Okay, let's talk about you. What role do you play in this game? You really have no memory of any of the previous worlds."

Hearing this, Jian Yiqiu seemed to sense a hint of ominous aura.

This atmosphere made him subconsciously serious, and he replied rigorously: "I am an observer and a guide. My task is to observe the performance of the players and provide guidance when appropriate.

As for memory...

The survival game had just been launched, and some of the program bugs had not yet been eliminated. I was indeed just a piece of 'data' at that time."

Seeing that the coldness in Xiao Jin's eyes had eased a little, Jian Yiqiu secretly let out a long sigh.

"Then when did you regain your memory?"

After hearing what Xiao Jin said, Jian Yiqiu's expression became a little unnatural, and after a moment he actually laughed out loud.

His chest vibrated slightly, and he uttered a teasing remark: "Of course, when I receive the gift you left for me!"

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.

"You blew up two-thirds of the Happy Valley dungeon, and the administrator below came to me with the video. You have no idea how I felt when I saw you in the video!"

“Did you send the job invitation?”

"Yes." Jian Yiqiu admitted readily: "This is the system's 'punishment' for you, and I'm just going with the flow!"

Xiao Jin leaned back on the sofa, his legs unconsciously raised and swayed slightly.

The slender and delicate calves made Jian Yiqiu stare at them unconsciously.

"Is this also the copy for other players?" she asked.

Jian Yiqiu blinked: "Yes, but I am not in their copy. Only you are special."

At the end of his speech, Jian Yiqiu lowered his voice and stared at Xiao Jin. Their eyes met, and Xiao Jin was affected by the strong unknown emotion in his eyes.

I just felt like something was different!

After a moment, Xiao Jin was the first to recover. She slightly shifted her gaze and rubbed her hands randomly on the handle of the Shattered Shadow's knife, as if trying to cover up the confusion in her heart.

"Then why did you reveal this to me?"

Jian Yiqiu restrained his outward emotions and returned to his original state: "Because I am optimistic about you. You have the potential to become the ultimate winner of this game."

Xiao Jin's expression did not change.

Anyone who believes this kind of thing is a fool!

"So what will the final winner of this game get?"

Jian Yiqiu smiled mysteriously and said, "You need to find the answer to this question yourself."

Xiao Jin wanted to ask something else, but Jian Yiqiu suddenly stood up and said, "It's almost time, we should go back."

Xiao Jin looked at the time and found that it was almost six o'clock. The two of them had chatted for so long without realizing it.

As for the progress bar on the panel, it was already full.

"Xiao Jin!" Jian Yiqiu suddenly called out before the two left the general manager's office.

Hearing the other party calling his name again, Xiao Jin was in a trance for a moment.

But she soon got rid of that feeling: "What's the matter?" Xiao Jin raised his eyes and asked back.

Jian Yiqiu took a big step forward, and the distance between the two of them was instantly shortened. The tall man completely blocked the light.

"I can't stay here for too long. We'll have to meet again in the next world." Jian Yiqiu bent down and whispered in his ear. The hot air blew on him, and Xiao Jin subconsciously bent his fingers.

"No matter what, you should be careful. It's good like this. Don't trust anyone, and don't place your hopes on anyone."

Then, Jian Yiqiu approached again, and Xiao Jin could feel the warm touch on his earlobe.

There was a buzzing sound in her head, and Xiao Jin's body suddenly became as stiff as a salted fish, but then her attention was attracted by Jian Yiqiu's words.

Xiao Jin's expression gradually became serious.

After a moment, Jian Yiqiu slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, you should go downstairs and clock in. See you in the next world."
