Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

A group of people left the school first, and stood at the gate of the school to discuss how to act.

The short-haired woman took the lead to stand up and control the situation: "Let's split up and see how big the city is."

The girl with glasses is not strong, so she can only rely on the girl with short hair, nodded, and said weakly: "I agree too..."

Wu Jia touched his chin and said, "It makes sense."

Zhou Wenyan made no other comments: "Let's go to the left."

Short-haired girl: "Then let's go to the right."

The efficiency of the group was very high, and they split up without talking nonsense.

The road in front of the school is a snack street, which runs from north to south, where hawkers set up their stalls and start their business bustlingly.

After class, the students walked on the street with all kinds of snacks in their hands.

In the crowd, Zhou Wenyan held Shen Dongqing's hand tightly.

The two blended into the noisy crowd side by side.

The cries of hawkers, the chatter of students, and the smell of roasted food.

All of this is so normal that people almost forget that they are in a dungeon.

Shen Dongqing bought two skewers of grilled squid and distributed one to Zhou Wenyan. The two walked out of this bustling snack street slowly while eating.

Zhou Wenyan raised his hand to stop a taxi.

The driver of the taxi was an unshaven uncle who smiled at them honestly: "Where are you going?"

Zhou Wenyan opened the car door and let Shen Dongqing get in first, and then sat in: "Drive straight ahead."

Fortunately, the uncle driver has seen the world, and has encountered all kinds of guests. He was unambiguous when he heard this request, and drove out with just one step on the accelerator.

Halfway through the drive, the uncle driver couldn't help chattering.

"Recently, business is not doing well, and I can't do anything well..."

"There are not many people taking taxis, and I don't know what happened."

"Are you two students? Come out on a date, haha...I've seen a lot, it doesn't matter."

The uncle driver was very talkative and seemed to have no intention of stopping.He boasts that there is no place in this city that he has not been to, and he knows where he wants to go.

Shen Dongqing thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, do you know Life Science Research Company?"

From the rearview mirror, there was nothing unusual on the driver's face, and he still said with a smile: "What research company? We have quite a lot of companies here, and I don't know much about it."

But after this question, the uncle driver was obviously silent a lot.

The taxi was speeding on the road. At the beginning, there were cars on both sides, but after reaching the back, it was already extremely desolate.

The uncle driver stepped on the brake a little, slowed down, and asked the passengers behind: "Do you want to continue going? We are about to leave the city."

Zhou Wenyan: "Continue."

The uncle driver had no choice but to keep going.

The road ahead is not very good, full of potholes, the car can only slow down.

Shen Dongqing was shaken so drowsily that she tilted her head and leaned against the person beside her.

Zhou Wenyan patted Shen Dongqing's shoulder, put his arms around him and changed to a more comfortable position.Shen Dongqing rubbed her hands, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After driving for about 20 minutes, there was no one around, only wild weeds and a few abandoned wooden houses.

The uncle driver stepped on the accelerator: "The road ahead is under maintenance, so I can't drive."

Zhou Wenyan looked through the window, and there was a "under maintenance" sign in front of the car, which directly blocked the main road, and the car couldn't drive through it at all.

The uncle driver scratched the beard on his chin: "Where are you two going? How about I take a detour."

Zhou Wenyan nodded: "Master, please."

As soon as the driver pulled the gear, the car backed out and turned around, and continued to drive on the other road, but halfway through the drive came across a "under maintenance" sign.

The uncle driver muttered: "It's weird, why are you building roads?"

Zhou Wenyan asked: "Has Master been here before?"

A trace of bewilderment flashed in the driver's uncle's eyes, then he shook his head and said bluntly: "No one rushes to this wilderness like you."

Zhou Wenyan: "Master, please wait for us for a while, let's go over and have a look."

Uncle driver: "Okay, go and come back quickly."

Zhou Wenyan lowered his head and called out to Shen Dongqing softly.

Before Shen Dongqing woke up, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and was led out of the taxi. He hung on Zhou Wenyan's body like a sloth, and yawned.

I don't know why, but he was a little unmotivated.

The two walked past the edge of the maintenance sign. The strange thing was that the road ahead was not under maintenance, and there were no facilities or personnel there, just an empty space.

Zhou Wenyan took a few steps forward. It seemed that there was still a way ahead, but he encountered an invisible obstacle.He tentatively stretched out his hand, and after groping for a while, he came across a transparent barrier.

Shen Dongqing was still in a daze, didn't notice that Zhou Wenyan stopped, and walked over on his own, but unexpectedly bumped into him, knocking his forehead.

He exclaimed and covered his forehead.

Zhou Wenyan pulled the man over helplessly, and blew on his flushed forehead.

Shen Dongqing puffed her cheeks: "What is this?"

He was very angry and wanted to break the barrier in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was as if the force had penetrated into the cotton, and it had no effect.

Ding--

Shen Dongqing punched down, and ripples appeared on the transparent barrier, spreading in all directions.

But it was only for a moment, and it immediately returned to its original state.

This barrier is like an upside-down bowl, covering the entire city inside.

It's like... Captivity.

Shen Dongqing poked at the barrier: "Can't we get out?"

Zhou Wenyan: "It looks like this now."

Shen Dongqing leaned over, her cheek pressed against the barrier tightly.

Zhou Wenyan laughed: "What are you doing?"

Shen Dongqing said vaguely, "Look what's outside."

Zhou Wenyan: "Did you see it?"

Shen Dongqing straightened up and said disappointedly, "I didn't see it."

What I saw through the barrier was the same scenery, but I couldn't get through it at all.

Zhou Wenyan: "Okay, let's go back first."

The two walked back along the way they came. The uncle driver was still waiting there. He was standing outside the car smoking a cigarette with a lonely expression on his face, but when he saw them coming back, he immediately changed into a smiling face and waved his hand. Hello.

After the two got into the car, the uncle driver started the car and slowly drove back to the city center.

Zhou Wenyan said, "Has Master ever left this city?"

The driver uncle hummed a ditty: "What are you going to do, I'm doing a good job? Earning money to eat and eat, only you young people think about going outside, we are here, don't worry."

Shen Dongqing asked: "What about the others? You must have relatives and friends, have they ever left here?"

The uncle driver's movements froze, and he returned to normal in an instant: "No, everyone is local and honest, just go to work in a safe and secure manner."

All the way back, the uncle driver was more silent than when he came.

He parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Here we are."

Zhou Wenyan paid the money, got out of the car with Shen Dongqing, and the two walked towards the school.

Halfway through, the taxi appeared next to him again. The driver uncle rolled down the window, with some indistinct emotion in his eyes, he said, "If you can leave... it's better to leave here."

Shen Dongqing watched the taxi go away, tilted her head, and asked, "Is he an NPC?"

It doesn't look like, he is too vivid, as if he is a real person, not an NPC generated by the game.

Zhou Wenyan: "Maybe not."

The two walked back to the school, waited at the gate for a while, and the other players came back.

As soon as Wu Jia arrived, he said, "This is too real, I almost thought I had returned to the real world."

The short-haired girl interrupted him and talked about what they had gained: "This city is not big, and the outside is surrounded by a transparent barrier. We can't go out at all."

Wu Jia added: "Our scope of action is fixed in this city. Is it because of the game? I don't think anyone can trap us except the game."

Zhou Wenyan said lightly, "Change your thinking."

Wu Jia stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please".

Zhou Wenyan: "Life science research companies, they study life, we..." He paused, "Is it also within the scope of research."

Having said that, Wu Jia felt cold all over: "So, this is actually a laboratory? Are we being treated as guinea pigs by others?"

Shen Dongqing nodded: "I always feel that someone is watching me."

Wu Jia touched his arm: "Are you so perverted? What are they observing us for?"

The short-haired girl said impatiently, "We are players."

Based on this alone, it is eligible to become a "test product".

Zhou Wenyan took out a sign from his pocket: "Not only us, but ghosts are also their test subjects."

A1, A2 and A3.

These are the three ghosts they encountered, and they seemed to have been thrown in in an orderly manner.

Wu Jia glanced at the things in Zhou Wenyan's hands, and suddenly said, "I've seen this before!"

The short-haired girl hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"Let me think about it..." Wu Jia frowned, "By the way, Mr. Chen, before I recovered my memory, Mr. Chen said that there is a document for you. There is this pattern on the document in his arms!"

Zhou Wenyan said decisively, "Go to Teacher Chen."

The surname "Chen" is not uncommon.

But the contact person on the business card of the duplicate keepsake is "Mr. Chen", and there is another "Mr. Chen" here, which makes people have to think about it.

A group of people hurried to the teaching building.

After such a toss, the sky was completely dark, and the street lights on both sides turned on, not warm orange, but cold white with no temperature.

Under the light, the visible range is not large, and the rest of the place is shrouded in darkness.

Wu Jia: "I always have a bad feeling."

Even at night, the school cannot be so quiet.

Short-haired girl: "Don't be crowed."

Fortunately, after approaching the teaching building, there were students coming out of the evening self-study one after another.

Someone who knew Zhou Wenyan came up to say hello.

One of the students seemed to have a good relationship with Wu Jia, so he stopped and asked, "Why are you here so late? get out of class is over."

Wu Jia found an excuse: "Something fell inside."

That student is okay, just reminded: "There will be a power outage at nine o'clock today, come out quickly."

Wu Jia looked at his phone, it was already 08:30.

"It's 08:30!" Shen Dongqing exclaimed.

Wu Jia's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

As he asked, his mind turned rapidly. What could make Shen Dongqing so excited must be something extraordinary. Shouldn't it be better to run away quickly?

Then he heard Shen Dongqing say: "No wonder I'm so hungry, it's already 08:30."

Wu Jia: ...

Well, he thinks too much.
