Chapter 55 Primer

The hazy moonlight shines through the gray-blue glass windows and falls into the spacious workshop. Under the gloomy blue light, you can see a dozen people sitting, standing or lying here.These people are silent and motionless, as if they are thinking about the profound and mysterious philosophy of life. If you listen carefully, you can even find that they don't even make the sound of breathing-they are not "people"!Perhaps they were human beings in the past, but they are not now. In this workshop, there are actually human corpses one after another, including men and women, old and young, from different walks of life, with their own stories, and with various unknown secrets.However, at this moment they showed their bodies unreservedly, not only naked, but even the skin and fat have been peeled off.

Dozens of corpses with exposed muscles and skeletons all showed painful expressions, as if they were undergoing the cruelest torture.Under the gloomy blue light, the workshop is mysterious and weird, just like a terrifying execution ground. In this dreadful place, in this silent hour, a horrible sigh resounded in the darkness.The sigh came from the darkest corner of the workshop, where the moonlight could not shine, and there was a male figure here.He was sitting on a stool, resting his chin with one hand, his posture was like the muscular corpse beside him, the difference was that he did not show his body naked, at least he was dressed in clean and neat light green overalls.

The long silence made him look like a special corpse. Compared with the other corpses in the workshop, he was just wearing a worldly disguise.However, in the end, he still couldn't help but want to peel off the disguise he hated, and restore the innocence bestowed on him by the heavens. He stood up and threw his shirt to the ground, took out his mobile phone and dialed a person he knew best, but there was no phone number on the phone. Any recorded number: "It's me, if you don't hear my call after an hour, you will come over immediately..." After hanging up the phone, he gritted his teeth and rushed out the door.

After rushing out of the workshop, without the slightest hesitation, he rushed straight to the seven-story office building under the moonlight, because he was afraid that he would not be able to muster up his courage in the next moment.Rushing into the office building and walking to the door of the administrative office, there were faint voices of conversation, sometimes whispering, sometimes laughing, and the people inside the door seemed to be talking about some exciting things. Standing in front of the door, a moment of hesitation flashed in his heart, because after opening this door, maybe everything would end...including his life.Although death is frightening, it cannot be used as an excuse to bury his conscience, so he finally pushed open the wooden door that was extremely heavy in his heart.

The door opened, and there were four men sitting around the coffee table and setting up a "Dragon Gate Formation" behind the door. When a middle-aged man wearing glasses saw him, he walked up to him enthusiastically and said kindly: "Hey, Xiao Wu, so you haven't Let's go! Come, drink tea and chat with us." Then he asked the other party to sit next to him. The man named Xiao Wu sat down uncomfortably, and when he was about to speak, the fat man sitting opposite him threw a heavy envelope in front of him, and said kindly: "You came at the right time, this is yours." .”

Xiao Wu looked at the envelope on the coffee table without stretching out his hands for a long time. He knew what was in the envelope, and he also knew that accepting the envelope would mean betraying his conscience again.However, he also knew that if he refused to accept it, he would face dire consequences.So, he hesitated. Sitting on his left, the slightly thin man saw the hesitation in his heart, handed him a cigarette and asked, "Xiao Wu, do you have something to tell us?" Xiao Wu took the cigarette and nodded timidly, but did not speak for a long time, just smoking silently.Fear and conscience fought in his heart, and after several struggles, conscience finally defeated fear.After he extinguished the cigarette butt, he stretched out his trembling hands slowly, pressed on the forward envelope, and pushed the envelope forward slightly.

The fat on the fat man's face twitched slightly, and his eyes flashed with anger, but he immediately recovered his pleasant face, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, what do you mean? You think the dividends are too small. ?" Xiao Wu hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, and said in panic, "No, no, that's not what I meant." "Then what do you mean..." The fat man's sharp eyes fell on Xiao Wu, causing the latter to lower his head unconsciously. There was another long silence, and Xiao Wu fought again in his heart. In the end, he strengthened his determination, raised his head to meet the other party's knife-like gaze, and said unswervingly: "I want to resign!"

"You've done a good job, why do you want to resign all of a sudden?" It was the muscular man sitting on Xiao Wu's right who spoke. The man with glasses sitting next to Xiao Wu patted him on the shoulder, and asked caringly: "If you have any questions, you can just speak up. We are good brothers who talk about everything, and there is nothing we can't talk about." "I, I..." Xiao Wu said two "I" in a row, but he still couldn't express what he wanted in his heart. The thin man winked at the fat man, and then said to Xiao Wu: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, we are not rascals, and we will never force others to do what we want." He pushed the envelope in front of the other party and said, "However, these You deserve the money, so you should accept it first! As for resigning, don’t be in a hurry, since tomorrow is the National Day holiday, it’s not too late to make a decision after the holiday.”

"I, I really don't want to do it anymore, but you can rest assured that I will never tell anyone about the company." Xiao Wu glanced anxiously at the faces of other people, hoping to figure out their expressions. mind.But except for the man with glasses who was a little uneasy among the four sitting there, the rest of the three were expressionless, which made him feel even more frightened, and he couldn't help lowering his head timidly. "Since you've made up your mind to go, then I won't force you, you go!" The fat man shook his head regretfully, then waved his hand to signal him to leave.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party, as if he couldn't believe what the other party said, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed deeply to the four people sitting there, turned around and walked out the door without accepting the envelope on the coffee table . The man with glasses winked nervously at Fatty, apparently not understanding why he let Xiao Wu leave so easily.The fat man showed a sinister smile and raised his eyebrows at the strong man.The strong man shrugged knowingly, picked up the crystal ashtray on the coffee table, rushed behind Xiao Wu, and smashed hard on the back of Xiao Wu's head.

Between the stone fire and the lightning, the soot that had just been scattered on the ground was immediately stained red with blood... Three years later, on the eve of National Day. Yang Zhong sat alone in the office, typing on the keyboard with his ten fingers. After entering the data on a stack of receipts into the computer, he yawned, then took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.Looking at the bills piled up on the table, he thought that it would probably be dawn again tonight.On the last day of every month, he has to work overtime all night. Although he has long been used to it, he will inevitably feel a little sleepy. He stretched himself, walked to the tea table and brewed a pot of Tieguanyin for himself, hoping to get rid of his sleepiness.After the entrance of strong tea, there will be a feeling of refreshing and refreshing. After lighting a cigarette, the drowsiness will gradually subside. With a pot of fragrant tea in the stomach, the sleepiness dissipated invisible, and it was time to continue working.However, when he was about to return to his desk, he heard a strange noise coming from the workshop.It was already late at night, and tomorrow was the National Day holiday, so there should be no one in the workshop.Could it be... When he thought of the various corpses stored in the workshop, he felt horrified.Although he has worked here for several years, he is still afraid of these corpses. After all, their job is to make money from death.His body trembled involuntarily, because he was afraid that the souls of the dead who could not rest in peace came to claim his life. Door!Although there were rumors that ghosts could pass through walls, he locked the door hastily, because he was afraid that the corpse would rush out of the workshop and into the office building, rushing in through the door in front of him and tearing him to pieces. The office is very safe, at least there are no dead bodies here, he can continue to finish his work, and leave this safe place after dawn.However, the strange noise just now made him restless. The unknown is often the greatest fear, and the only way to eliminate the fear is to find the source of the unknown.Perhaps, the strange noise just now came from a mouse. People always like to scare themselves.With this idea, Yang Zhong's courage increased in vain. He picked up a flashlight and gently opened the door. Outside the door is endless darkness.There are no windows in the corridor, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers, just like the road to the underworld.Although he walked through this corridor every day, he felt that the scene in front of him was very strange, as if there were countless corpses lying in ambush behind the doors on both sides of the corridor.Fortunately, when he turned on the light, the fear gradually subsided.However, this is just the beginning. After leaving the office building and the place he was most familiar with, Yang Zhong began to feel regretful.He shouldn't have walked out of the office, it was the safest place, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart... or fear.So, he finally walked into the workshop, into the world of corpses. Perhaps it was a psychological effect. He felt that the corridor of the workshop was darker than that of the office building, which made him tremble unconsciously.He wanted to turn on the light, but when he walked to the switch, he remembered that tomorrow was a holiday, and the main power switch had been turned off when he got off work.Although the darkness is frightening, the unknown is even more frightening. He finally decided to find out what happened to the strange noise just now. The room closest to the gate is the shaping workshop, where dozens of corpses of various shapes are stored, and it is also a disturbing place during the day.The light of the flashlight wandered in the dark room, and what appeared in front of him were horrible corpses without skin.Yang Zhong just took a quick glance and then closed the door, because he was afraid that when the light fell on the next corpse, he would see a hideous face, or maybe the quiet corpse would suddenly move.However, what frightened him even more was that this was where Xiao Wu used to work. He suddenly remembered that it was also the eve of the National Day when Xiao Wu left, and it was also a time when the night was quiet.The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the fear of the abnormal noise quickly disappeared, replaced by the scene of Xiao Wu lying in a pool of blood.Although it has been three years, the scene of that night is still vivid in my memory, as if it happened ten minutes ago.He still remembered how to deal with Xiao Wu's body and how to clean up the blood all over the ground... Fear pushed Yang Zhong to the brink of collapse, he no longer cared about any abnormal noises, he just wanted to find a bright and safe place to stay until dawn as soon as possible.He hurried towards the door, wanting to leave this dark workshop as soon as possible, return to the bright office building, and return to the office where he felt safe. When he walked to the door of the workshop, the abnormal sound of "bang" echoed in his ears again.This time he heard it very clearly, it was the sound of beating metal boxes, and here only the storage workshop in the basement has metal boxes...
