Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

The torrential rain poured down, rattling in the night.

This is a rural self-built house, which is quite old, with all kinds of dirt on the walls, and a pile of rusty farm tools thrown in the corner, exuding an inexplicable smell.

The chandelier on the ceiling flickered, and the light flickered on and off.A group of people sat on the dilapidated sofa below, facing an old-fashioned TV.

Probably because there was no signal, black and white particles flickered on the TV screen and made a harsh hissing sound.

Sitting on the sofa is a sturdy man with a gold chain, a female high school student in a JK uniform, and a polite office worker...they seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they sit together.

No one speaks.

There was lightning and thunder outside the window, the TV screen went black for a moment and then turned on again, but there was a high-pitched and hysterical female voice on the black and white screen:

【Welcome to Infinite Nightmare Game】

【You have entered the novice level】

【Please attend Mr. A's funeral and find the murderer】

After the voice fell, there was only nervous laughter, which made people feel cold all over.

Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore and stood up: "What the hell is going on? Can someone tell me?"

The person who spoke was an office worker in a suit and leather shoes. He looked down at the watch on his wrist from time to time, worried that his attendance award would be deducted for being late.However, his watch seems to be broken. Up to now, the time has been fixed at [-]:[-] in the morning, and he has not advanced any further.

His questioning was like a switch, triggering other emotions in the hall.

The female high school student lowered her head and sobbed: "I want to go home..."

The office worker strode forward and walked towards the gate, trying to pull it open, but the gate was closed tightly and remained motionless.

Jin Lianzi also stood up and looked around.

The windows were also tightly shut, with strips of wood nailed to them.Jin Lianzi picked up an ax from a pile of farm tools and chopped it down vigorously, trying to break through the window and get out.

boom--

When the ax fell, the wood broke, and spider web-like cracks appeared on the glass windows.

Jin Lianzi was overjoyed: "There is a show."

As he spoke, he raised the ax again, intending to smash the glass window directly.It's just that before the ax landed, there was a "snap", and a bloody handprint was slapped on the window.

Jin Chain was taken aback, and the ax in his hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.

clap clap-

Countless bloody handprints were slapped on the window, as if they wanted to break through a thin layer of glass and get in.And the windows trembled, as if they were about to burst open.

Jin Lianzi took a step back and swallowed: "What's going on? Is there really a ghost?"

"What the hell? These are all lies!" The office worker was more irritable, and picked up the ax on the ground, "Get out of the way."

He pushed away the gold chain and raised the ax to strike hard.

Just before it fell, the glass cracked with a "click".

The office worker's movements froze, watching helplessly as a pale hand stretched out from the darkness behind the window and grabbed his arm.

"What is this!" The office worker panicked and tried to break free.

But this weird hand was as thin as a stick, but it was very strong, grabbing the office worker abruptly and pulling it out.

The office worker finally knew that what he was seeing before him was not something a human could do. Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the room, he screamed: "Help——"

Jin Lianzi had been frightened silly for a long time.

The female high school student shrank into a ball, not daring to move.

Others have no intention of sacrificing their lives to save others.

The office worker was pulled out of the narrow window just like that, his body bent into a twisted posture, and disappeared into the darkness.

The hall fell into a dead silence again.

Only the sound of gnawing food came from outside the window.

"You should be thankful that there is one less idiot." The person sitting in the middle of the sofa raised his legs, "The first thing I will teach you is not to act casually. A blade of grass or a flower here may kill you." life."

After experiencing the scene just now, everyone was honest. Hearing what the man said, they seemed to have found a backbone, and they all looked over.

The man was very satisfied with the reactions of the others: "My surname is Chen, you can just call me Old Chen."

Jin Lianzi was very kind, walked over immediately, and handed him a cigarette: "Brother Chen, have you ever played?"

Lao Chen glanced at him appreciatively, and took the cigarette: "I've played it twice. The novice task is relatively simple, as long as you follow me obediently, there will be no problem."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the others became hot.

"However..." Old Chen flicked the cigarette ash with his fingers, and changed the topic, "There is no such thing as a pie in the sky."

A thin non-mainstream yellow hair asked: "How much do you want?"

Old Chen twitched his lips sarcastically: "Here, money is worthless paper. I want your points after passing the level."

The female high school student said weakly: "What's the point?"

"Good question." Old Chen said, "The points can be exchanged for some life-saving things, but the mall can only be opened after passing the novice mission, so if you can't survive the novice mission, the points are useless."

Huang Mao, who has read a lot of online novels, was thoughtful: "It's the same as the horror games written in the novels."

"Well..." Lao Chen took a puff of smoke, "It's almost the same, but don't think that you are the protagonist. Everyone here is unlucky lingering in the game. Only after ten games can they completely Get out of this unlucky game."

Jin Chain thought more, and asked, "Can you guarantee our safety?"

Lao Chen didn't answer directly, but said: "As long as you don't die."

Both Huang Mao and the female high school student were young and innocent, and they immediately agreed to Lao Chen's request, only wanting to save their lives.Seeing that they all agreed, Jin Lianzi could only follow the crowd.

Lao Chen calculated how many points would be credited, and a smile appeared on his face: "Do you have any questions? I will tell you everything I know."

"Excuse me……"

At this moment, a hand was raised in the corner of the sofa.

Everyone looked over.

There was a young man sitting in the corner, probably because he had been silent all the time, and seemed to have no sense of existence.He has a pair of almond eyes, and his black and white eyes exude a light of seeking knowledge. He looks very cute and cute, and when he smiles, he shows his pointed canine teeth.

Old Chen said indifferently, "You can ask."

The young man raised his mobile phone and asked very distressed: "Why can't you play Landlords here?"

other people:……

The female high school student whispered, "There is no signal here."

She just tried to call the police, but it seems that all the electronic facilities have failed, and there is no way to contact the outside world.

"Oh."

The young man took back his phone with some disappointment.

Lao Chen: This is not a fool, is it?Thinking about fighting the landlord in such a dangerous place?

But even if Lao Chen suspects that this young man is abnormal, it doesn't prevent him from earning points, so he pretended to be kind: "What's your name?"

The young man was defenseless: "Shen Dongqing."

Old Chen smiled and said, "As long as you promise to give me the points, I'll take you through."

Shen Dongqing raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "No need."

Old Chen's smile froze and became indifferent, and he said meaningfully: "This world is very dangerous. Didn't you see that office worker just now? If you are not careful, you can't even save your life. For your life Say, what's so important about points?"

The words were mixed with imperceptible threats.

Shen Dongqing: "Oh."

Old Chen's smile disappeared completely, and he said with a gloomy face: "Young people always like to be brave, but they don't know that sometimes being brave will pay a terrible price."

Old Chen wanted to scare this man.

The people here are all novices, and the novice tasks will not be difficult, but the points they get are very high. For Lao Chen, every wool must be squeezed.

But I didn't expect that after finishing speaking, the kid was still unmoved.

Shen Dongqing was fiddling with his mobile phone, and when he looked up and met Lao Chen's staring eyes at him, he realized belatedly: "Are you talking to me?"

He thought for a while and said politely, "Thank you for reminding me, but I'm not a young man anymore."

Shen Dongqing is actually a thousand-year-old ghost, unable to be reincarnated, living in the world in a daze, and one day suddenly took over a body.

It's just that he was pulled into this world before he had time to enjoy high-tech such as mobile phones and computers.He can feel that there are several ghosts in this house, but what he cares most about is that none of the games on the phone can be played.

Lao Chen almost crushed the cigarette in his hand: Who the hell wants to remind you?I am threatening you!

He was about to teach this kid a lesson when there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door.

Everyone present looked over nervously, only Shen Dongqing lowered her head and looked at the phone intently, trying to find a game that could be played without a signal.

creak-

The door opened a gap, and a woman in a black long-sleeved dress with a black cloth hanging on her arm stood in the gap.Her face was pale, with a sad look on her face.

She stood at the door and said softly, "Everyone has come all the way here. It's been hard work. Please stay here first. According to our customs, the funeral can only be held after three days of coffin, and then we can see my husband for the last time." one side."

No one dared to take her word for it.

Still old Chen said: "It's not hard."

Mr. A's widow took a look at Old Chen and said in a soft voice, "The room is on the second floor. Everyone, rest for one night first, and you can go shopping around tomorrow, but don't go to the last room on the third floor. Yes, people in our village are older and don't like to make noise at night."

After speaking, the widow left and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, the people in the hall saw two rows of wreaths and various paper figures outside, which looked chilly.

Huang Mao was a little excited: "Is this an NPC?"

Old Chen took a look and then looked away: "It may be the ghost who wants to kill you. Listen to her, it's best to listen to the NPC in the game."

Huang Mao is very curious: "Then what will happen if you don't listen?"

Old Chen said grimly: "Those who don't listen will die."

The self-built houses in the countryside are very spacious, and there is a long corridor on the second floor. The corridor is cold and dark, and it seems to be endless.After turning on the light, you can see closed doors on both sides.

The female high school student thought of a very important question: "What if we are separated and an accident happens at night?"

She is the only girl here.

Old Chen said: "Anyway, it's only three days. The four of us can squeeze into one room. We live in this room, so we can escape easily if we have anything to do."

He pointed to a room closest to the corridor.

The female high school student was relieved, and when she walked in, she suddenly thought of a question: "Four people?"

She, Lao Chen, Huang Mao and Jin Lianzi are four people, isn't there one more person?

When Lao Chen heard her question, he sneered: "Someone wants to die, can we blame us? He can just attract the attention of ghosts by himself, isn't that good?"

Jin Lianzi is an adult, so naturally he has no objection. After all, in their thinking, it wasn't the young man who died, maybe they were the ones who died.

Only the female high school student was a little apprehensive, but she had no choice but to keep silent.

Shen Dongqing didn't mind being squeezed out, and she walked up the stairs slowly, falling behind the large group, with a trace of worry on her delicate brows.

Lao Chen hugged his shoulders and looked at him: "You know you're afraid? It's too late to regret it now."

Shen Dongqing didn't know why this person always cared about him. She was quite indifferent when she was a ghost, but she didn't expect to feel the warmth between people when she became a human.

It's just that Shen Dongqing is used to being indifferent, and she didn't know how to answer, so she could only say stiffly: "I'm not afraid."

Old Chen sneered: "You're a dead duck, I advise you not to take face so seriously, admit your mistake obediently, and give me the points, and I will save your life."

Shen Dongqing said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, I'm really not afraid. I'm just wondering why I can't play any games on my phone."

Old Chen:?I care about your points, but you care about your mobile games?

After Shen Dongqing finished speaking, she was afraid that Lao Chen would talk to him again, so before Lao Chen could speak, she pushed open the door beside her and walked in.

boom--

The door was closed.

Looking at the door, Lao Chen felt despised by a brave novice, so he sneered, "Sometimes you regret it."

Shen Dongqing walked into the room.

There is a bed, a cabinet, and a separate bathroom in the room, which looks very simple.But what is not simple is that there is a black and white portrait hanging on the wall facing the door.

In the portrait is a man of about 30 years old, with a gentle appearance, staring at the person who walked in with a pair of eyes resentfully, not like a photo, but a living thing.

Shen Dongqing stood where she was, as if she had been frightened stupid.

The black-and-white portrait was very satisfied with his reaction, his eyeballs rolled, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down. He raised his arms, as if trying to break free from the photo frame and grab the person in front of him.

Cry, scream with fear...

As long as you break the rules, you can be killed openly...

The person in the black and white portrait had one hand on the photo frame, and the other stretched like a noodle, stretching towards the people in the room, almost touching Shen Dongqing.

Shen Dongqing thought about the interpersonal communication between human beings, and raised her hand to hold that cold hand.

"Hello." He shook his face sincerely, "I'm going to stay here for three days, so I'm sorry to bother you."

The author has something to say: Sand sculptures are infinitely terrifying.

Not scary, maybe not even decrypted.
