when the alien joins the escape game

Although the walls were freshly painted, the poor-quality paint could not withstand the scraping with a knife, and a large piece of white wall peeled off after three or two strokes.

Behind the wall, there is still a white wall.

Xiaoyi continued to scrape two layers before touching the gray cement wall. This community, which has only been built for two or three years, has been painted three times in the past few years...

Xiaoyi didn't find the traces he expected, but he didn't want to shovel out the whole residence just to verify his idea.

Just as Xiaoyi put down the fruit knife, there was a lot of noise outside the door.

"You can paint as long as you paint, can't you lower the noise? This is a high-end neighborhood, and it's been rattling all day long since you live in it, what does it look like!" A woman's voice came from outside.

"You think we want to paint! Such an unlucky job..." Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of collisions of paint buckets and other sundries, and the resigned painter also lost his temper.

Just listening to what you said and what I said outside, Xiaoyi started to quarrel like this. Xiaoyi used his mental power to detect and went out to have a look. It turned out that it was a resident on the same floor as him.

There are three households on the same floor of each unit in this community. The ones who live on the third floor like Xiaoyi, except for the old man who has not moved in, are a couple in their 30s. They have two sons, a seven-year-old Only a few months old, perhaps disturbed by domestic chores, the mood of this hostess is always on the verge of hysteria.

Listening to the noise outside, the focus shifted from the loudness of the painting to the impact on the health of the neighbor's bright young son of several months.

Xiaoyi blocked the movement outside with his mental power, and calmed down to think about the scene of waiting on the tree just now.

He used his psychic ability to call up the picture in his memory just now, and observed it carefully.The body that snapped back, although the entire face was distorted like a peeled banana peel, it was difficult to recognize the original appearance.

But at the eye sockets where the cheeks were dangling almost hanging at the feet of the corpse, you can vaguely see the faint black and blue on the skin through the blood... This is the thin and weak policeman who came to investigate three days ago.

However, given the security of the city, even if one or two police officers go missing, it won't cause too much of a stir.Just like the girl upstairs, the case was closed three days after her death, without leaving a single word in the newspapers or on the Internet.

At this time, the door was knocked loudly, Xiaoyi was brought back to reality by the sound, and got up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was the woman leading her seven-year-old son who hadn't returned to the house. When she looked at Xiaoyi, she forced out an impatient smile:

"Young man, are you a newcomer? It's miserable enough to encounter that kind of thing when you first arrived..." The woman just expressed her concern, and then changed the subject impatiently:

"What, our building is a little different, because the unscrupulous properties in the community are too expensive, we have agreed not to send money to profiteers, and each household takes turns cleaning the corridors. This is exactly seven floors, and every Wednesday we This level is in charge. You are young and don’t go to work... This small matter should be nothing, but don’t forget it!"

Xiaoyi maintained a polite smile from the beginning to the end, but his thoughts had already drifted to the sky. When the female neighbor uttered the first word, he had already impatiently directly from her mind, Read everything that hasn't been said yet.

In the following time, the mental power had already been probed outwards, to find the police station where the little policeman who was suspected of having broken his spine worked.

And the woman leading the boy was still complaining endlessly: "The one who lives downstairs from you, a man in his 40s, not very old...every day he said that he had this disease and that disease, and needed an infusion." .I never go to clean the corridors, why do you think this person is like this!"

At this time, the puffy boy who was being pulled by the woman wanted to take her mother's hand home several times, but he didn't pay attention.The fat boy's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid, and small sharp gasps came out of his throat, but his mother was still immersed in her complaints and failed to notice her son's discomfort.

Xiaoyi withdrew his energy, looked at the little fat man who had only reached his waist, and his lips were always blue due to lack of oxygen, and interrupted the woman's endless complaints:

"Is your son suffering from asthma?"

The woman's voice paused sharply, and she looked down at her eldest son, the impatience and complaints in her eyes completely overwhelmed her worries about the illness:

"You child, did you not cover your quilt again last night, or did you steal meat again! Or did you not drink water properly? Why are you panting again, really!" The woman grabbed her fat boy who was panting slightly. Pulling him outward is like trying to hide a stain on a dress from showing it to the neighbors:

"How many times have I told you that you should eat less meat and don't catch a cold! You just don't listen, why is your self-control so poor? Look at you, look at you! What can you do when you grow up? don't want you..."

The subsequent education and reprimands were closed behind the anti-theft door, and gradually became inaudible.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his 40s, carrying a cloth bag of vegetables, slowly climbed up the stairs, and he seemed to be in poor health.

Hearing the vague reprimand, the middle-aged man stopped and put down the vegetable bag, and shouted to the woman's house through the security door: "The child is uncomfortable, don't keep talking about others, take care of yourself." take care of!"

The woman's voice stopped abruptly, as if she didn't want the neighbors to listen to the joke outside, and then locked her iron security door with an exaggerated bang.

The two men outside sighed, and they didn't care too much, and went upstairs step by step.

During this period of time, Xiaoyi had searched the buildings within a radius of one kilometer with his mental power, but he couldn't find the location of the small police station.

However, he saw an unexpected person.

An opportunist who once went to the Felony Prison in Happy City to besiege Xiaoyi, at that time in front of the green brick building, Xiaoyi had a face-to-face meeting with him from a distance.

It was a 27-year-old man wearing earrings, who seemed to have a not-so-weak teleportation ability, and was hurrying along the street.

It seems that thousands of opportunists, after seeing the sign for the exit of Happy City, also gave up on the mission and followed Xiao Yi and the others into the teleportation array.

It is not a small probability that one of thousands of people will be teleported to the same city as Xiaoyi.

So, is the disappearance of the female corpse upstairs three days ago related to this person?

Xiaoyi continued to follow him with mental strength, and at the same time opened the door and went downstairs to the block where the man with the earring was located.

Through mental strength, it can be seen that the man wearing earrings changed from the casual attire he wore in Happy City to wearing a suit and leather shoes and carrying a black briefcase, just like a white-collar worker going to work.

Xiaoyi looked at the man carrying a black briefcase from the air.squeezed into a long line in front of a glass building that appeared to be hiring.

Xiaoyi was walking quickly on the street, rushing towards the position of the teleportation-type supernatural being. At the same time, he secretly wondered that on such a remote planet, as long as the supernatural being revealed his identity, he would get the entire country. preferential treatment, and right now...he seems to be looking for a job?

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yi walked to the end of the long line, and the man in a suit and leather shoes with earrings still didn't enter the building.

This glass building looks very imposing in this depressed city. Thousands of job seekers in the city are lined up outside here, a little nervously arranging their clothes, or silently reciting their resumes. .

The glass on the front of the building bears the name of the company: Clare Star Corporation, Division B12.Xiaoyi felt even more strange. When he was in Happy City, he scribbled and read the brains of many speculators. This Claire company was one of the companies that sent speculators.

It stands to reason that the man with the earring should have been an employee of this company, so why is he queuing up here to apply for a job?

In other words, Claire's company dispatched him to Happy City, which was a very secret operation. He couldn't easily disclose this matter to the grassroots of each branch, so he had to line up here step by step, and only reported to the company after he arrived at the company. Headquarters contact?

At this time, the young man who was also looking for a job saw Xiao Yi who was not wearing work clothes, and kindly reminded him: "The requirements of Claire's company are not as strict as usual. Why did you come here wearing short sleeves? Go back and change." , otherwise the queue is useless.”

Xiao Yi, who was just about to directly search for the memory of the man with the earring, was interrupted by the people around him, so he turned around and said, "I just came to see the situation. I'm sure I won't be able to choose so many people."

Xiaoyi's self-deprecating statement made the young man next to him laugh: "Yeah, who doesn't think so, it's Clare Company, which was rated as the 119th in the comprehensive strength of the entire galaxy by the Starnet Wright website! In our Recruiting people on a small planet, the acceptance rate is not even 1‰.”

While listening to the young man's voice, Xiaoyi sized up the man with the earring at the front of the line. He didn't seem to have the calmness and self-control that Xiaoyi had seen in Happy City. Instead, he looked nervous. and apprehension.

"Then why do they have to recruit workers on our planet?" Xiaoyi asked, while poking forward in a spirited manner.

"Who knows, the only two supernatural beings born on our planet in the past ten years have already gone through the immigration procedures when they were in kindergarten, and immigrated to other developed planets... He can't recruit supernatural beings here... Those who are capable, is it the same for other ordinary people to recruit?" The young man seemed to be glad that someone chatted with him during this boring waiting time, and he opened up the conversation:

"In other words, the top [-] companies in the galaxy have been competing with each other for decades. Except for the unshakable Philip chaebol, the other big companies have recruited employees from various remote planets, and the admission rate is extremely low. But Those lucky ones who are lucky enough to be admitted will be able to leave their own planet completely and go to work at the headquarters of a large company on a superior planet..."

At this moment, Xiaoyi's mental power had penetrated into the brain of the man with the earring, and because the distance was too far, Xiaoyi couldn't find useful information at once.However, in those fragmentary memory fragments, Xiaoyi didn't see the picture about Happy City, or the memory of the ability user using his own teleportation ability.

It was already afternoon, and the crowd around seemed to be even more crowded. A large number of job seekers who felt that they would not be able to line up today began to rush forward, and four or five long lines were in a mess.

At this moment, Xiaoyi suddenly felt a slight numbness in his right hand.

Xiaoyi suddenly withdrew his mental power from the earring man's brain, and turned to detect it around him!At the same time, Weiwei turned sideways to block the sight of the people around him with his back and hands, and raised his right hand!

Only half of Xiaoyi's whole hand is left...

The little finger, ring finger, and half of the palm all disappeared out of thin air, and severed muscles and white broken bones could still be seen on the bloody section.

But the whole process didn't touch Xiaoyi's pain nerve at all...

It was like being swallowed by black filaments in an instant.

If his reaction was a few seconds slower, maybe only half of his body would be left.

The feeling of spiritual power sinking into the sea came back again.

Xiaoyi turned her head abruptly, looking around.

However, all around Xiaoyi are job seekers with anxious faces. Everyone looks the same, but they are very suspicious...

Is there really another alien in this world?It lurks in the dark place beside itself, does it have the same thoughts as me and wants to kill its own kind?

Then, Xiaoyi thought of another possibility.

What if these specious signs are actually the work of a few psychic powers and devouring powers who cooperated tacitly?Taking advantage of the fact that he has just escaped from Happy City and his abilities have not fully recovered, in order to find evidence that he is an alien?

Maybe there is a minion of a certain force among the crowd, waiting to record the picture of himself using the black filament, and then announce it to the public to deal a fatal blow to the Philip chaebol?

I don't want to come back!

Ever since Xiaoyi thought that there was no possibility of a second alien in this world, his mood immediately relaxed.

He indifferently put his bloody right hand into his trouser pocket, so calmly that even the young man who was still chattering beside him didn't notice anything unusual.

Anyway, he couldn't find where the hidden enemy was. Xiaoyi's mental power once again detected the man with the earring at the front of the line, but was disappointed to find that he had already lined up at the end of the two lines a few minutes ago. Take the elevator to the top floor of the glass tower.

This distance is a bit too far for Xiaoyi's mental power, and he cannot read minds well.

So Xiaoyi turned around and said goodbye to the enthusiastic young man, and walked towards her community.

The small but bright sun has set from the west, and the whole sky has begun to darken, and the sky is stained with a characteristic dark blue between light and dark.

When Xiaoyi came downstairs in the community, she found an unremarkable ambulance parked in front of the entrance of her unit.

Two medical staff in white clothes turned out from the corridor pushing a stretcher, and were quickly pushed into the ambulance...

Across the thin car wall, Xiaoyi looked at the two medical staff with great energy, symbolically performed two sets of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the man on the stretcher who had been dead for at least 10 minutes, and then leaned over Start writing the death certificate on the side.

Cause of death: heart attack (caused by a self-infusion error at home, a large amount of air entering the blood vessel)

Died on xx, xx, xx after rescue failed

And the man lying on the stretcher with a painful and hideous expression, no longer alive, was the neighbor that Xiaoyi saw on Xiaoyi's floor an hour ago, the neighbor who went upstairs to buy vegetables...

At this time, neighbors in twos and threes had gathered downstairs, pointing and watching the scene.A sharp-eyed man saw Xiao Yi walking towards this side, and suddenly let out an exclamation:

"Oh my god, why is there blood all over that boy's waist!!!"
