After sitting on the bench for a while, Yao Ye got up and walked towards the nearest subway station.
He was planning to go to a department store he frequented to buy some daily necessities, and there happened to be a discount these days, maybe he could save some living expenses.
The subway station is very close to the hospital, and Yaoye arrived there after a short walk.
He put a coin into the station, sitting on the graffiti-covered subway, Yao Ye took out his mobile phone.
He wants to check if there is any work email from the company.
As a low-level employee, Yao Ye is often forced to accept the complicated work of some old employees. Although he doesn't need to use his brain very much, it is all repetitive typing and document work, which is very tiring every day.
The most irritating thing is that he can't refuse yet, otherwise he will be easily offended by Yao Ye, who lives only by this job.
Ding-
A lot of chat messages have been accumulated in the line group chat.
Yao Ye clicked on the interface and saw several new messages.
Colleague a: Have you heard, the new rookie punched c this morning hhh
Colleague b: Your news is slow, haven't you heard? The little rookie committed suicide just now. He jumped from the eleventh floor, tsk tsk, his brain splashed all over the floor.
Colleague f: Shit! True or false, another dead? One died suddenly a while ago!
Colleague b: What's the matter, work pressure is generally high now, which company doesn't kill people every month? It's just that we are more frequent here.
Colleague h: Hahaha, I heard that the rookie had hallucinations before he died. It seems that he was overwhelmed by the work given by the boss a few days ago.
Colleague d: Let’s not talk about hallucinations. Don’t you all have them? My friend vomited blood yesterday and didn’t forget to go to work. He committed suicide because of this little problem. That rookie is really useless!
"..."
Yaoye looked at the message interface, continued to scroll up in silence, and did not feel relieved until he was sure that there was no important news about work in the group.
When his finger was about to close the page, Yao Ye paused and stopped on the word "illusion".
He blinked, and finally let go of his hand and turned off the phone.
To be honest, sometimes Yao Ye feels that the world is a little sick.
However, this world has always been like this, so there is no difference between normal and pathological.
He didn't know why he had such an idea.
People often die in the company, including death from overwork, sudden death, suicide, and all kinds of death methods, but no one takes these things seriously, which is normal.
In this world, the law of the jungle preys on the strong, which is normal.
Although only office workers have such a high death rate, the rest of the population is still living a peaceful life, but - there is nothing abnormal about it.
In other words, if this is abnormal, what is normal
Yao Ye, who lived in this deformed world since he was a child, couldn't imagine it.
——XX station has arrived, passengers who want to get off please get off in time.
The subway announcement sounded, and Yao Ye came back to his senses, got up and walked outside the subway door.
For him, the death of other people is nothing to take seriously, even the colleagues who get along day and night. What is more important now is to buy daily necessities.
After leaving the subway station, Yaoye went to a nearby cheap department store.
Although it is called a shopping mall, the area of this shopping mall is pitifully small, occupying only more than 100 square meters in a building with a height of more than ten floors, it can only be regarded as a small supermarket.
Here is where Yao Ye supplies his daily supplies.
With a small pocket, he barely climbed into the corner of the middle class through his current high-paying job, but in order to maintain this kind of life, he needs to save money in many places, and daily necessities are one of the important aspects.
After entering the shopping mall, Yao Ye picked out the recently discounted products, and quickly picked up a shopping cart full.
Very good, this will last another month.
Yao Ye pushed the shopping cart to check out, and finally left the supermarket with a heavy bag in his hands.
"call!"
Yao Ye's body is a bit weak after working overtime recently, and it's really hard to hold such a heavy thing. The palm of his hand, which is only used for typing on weekdays, has a deep red mark drawn by the shopping bag.
The ghost clinging to Yao Ye's back stretched out his hand, with a sweet smile on his pale face, interlocking his fingers with Yao Ye's. His pale and slender male fingers gently rubbed against the warm skin of a living person.
"… what?"
The bag is suddenly much lighter.
Yao Ye looked down at the shopping bag in his hand in amazement. There was nothing missing, but the weight was inexplicably much lighter, and he didn't feel so constrained.
There is still a little bit of coolness in the palm of your hand, which is very refreshing.
Yao Ye checked for a while, found nothing unusual, and then left it alone, thinking that maybe his hands felt much lighter after getting used to the weight.
He easily carried a bag of things to the elevator, and Yao Ye waited for the elevator to go down.
— Fifteen floors
—Fourteen floors
—The thirteenth floor, here we come.
The elevator door opened, and Yao Ye entered the elevator with several people waiting beside him.
Dididi—the elevator door issued a warning sound that could not be closed.
The elevator was fully loaded with six people. At this time, there were already five people in the elevator. They had not reached the weight limit, and their weight was not heavy. I don’t know why this happened.
The others looked at each other and turned their attention to the woman who got into the elevator last.
The woman stared back and said sharply, "I'm pregnant! Don't think of me going down!"
As she said that, the woman touched her slightly undulating belly with a dissatisfied expression.
Everyone had no choice but to give up and looked at each other in silence. In the materialistic society of N City, people are indifferent, and no one wants to go down and wait for the next elevator.
Yaoye stood in the corner and watched coldly. Anyway, he was not the last one to come in, so it was his turn to go down anyway.
Silence lasted for a while, a tall man in black leather in the elevator seemed to be a little hot, with a lot of sweat on his forehead, he looked around anxiously, and suddenly looked at Yao Ye, who was pale and looked easy to bully.
"Young man, why don't you go down, I see you are in good shape, you'll be fine when you wait for the next shift, you can't let a pregnant woman suffer!"
Yao Ye looked at the man in the leather jacket inexplicably, and refused, "I'm not the last one to come in."
He's not that noble, sacrificing his own efficiency for the convenience of others.
Although it may take longer this way, he just doesn't want to be kidnapped by morality.
"But you're a man! You're also big! You must be overweight!" The man in the leather jacket seemed impatient, and he didn't want to say a word, and just came up with a slap in the face.
Seeing his beloved Yao Ye being accused, ghosts that cannot be observed by human eyes looked at the man in leather coldly, including the long-haired female ghost wrapped around the man's neck.
There was a crumbling eyeball hanging on the bloody face of the long-haired female ghost. Being watched by the ghost, it shrank its fingers silently, and hid it behind the leather man's shoulder, not daring to touch its sharp edge.
The elevator is limited to six people. At this time, there are five humans and two dead objects.
Yao Ye's lips turned white with anger from the man in leather clothes. He glanced at the man in leather clothes, remained silent, and disdained to talk to him. Although he couldn't beat this man, he didn't dare to fight him, but it's okay to ignore him.
The best way to deal with this low-quality bastard is to ignore him, anyway, he just won't go down, what can this person do to him!
The man in leather clothes dared to show contempt for him when he saw Yao Ye's pretty face, his facial features twitched, his face showed a fierce look, and he raised his right hand high as if he wanted to beat Yao Ye severely.
But in the next second, he fell to the ground uncontrollably, and the black snakeskin bag he held tightly in his left hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties.
tick-tick
The sound of sticky water crawling in the snakeskin bag.
Yao Ye was startled, and took a step back, suspecting that the man had put a snake in his bag, and couldn't help showing fear.
This is really all kinds of perverts. When you come to a shopping mall, you even bring a snake with you. You have no sense of public morality!
"hateful!!!"
Seeing that he had attracted the attention of everyone in the elevator, the man in leather panicked, and the cold sweat dripped even more on his face.
He gritted his teeth, picked up the snakeskin bag on the ground, and rushed out of the elevator door without looking back.
The female ghost lying behind the leather man's back pierced his skull with her long tongue, sucking his brain with relish, and the sticky sound of water kept oozing from the joints of his bones.
Hee hee hee——Ghosting laughed strangely, looking at the back of the man in the leather jacket, as if he couldn't get enough of it, the black mist wrapped around his body.
The black mist representing the resentment of ghosts will entangle the cursed living until death.
Although, with that female ghost around, this person wouldn't live long.
Yao Ye frowned, watching the man in leather go away with disgust.
The pregnant woman who entered the elevator at the end pressed the elevator button at hand even more simply, for fear that the little gangster would regret it and turn around and run back.
The elevator at this time is limited to six people, five living people, and one dead object, which meets the standard.
Ding—the elevator closed smoothly.
Yao Ye clenched the shopping bag in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he acted tough just now, he was actually not without fear in his heart. After all, he has always been a cowardly and afraid of causing trouble. If he hadn't been annoyed by those annoying things like stalkers recently, Yao Ye couldn't imagine that he would behave so brave.
He actually dared to choke with a big man who was a few heads taller than him, which was quite... cool.
Yaoye exhaled a breath of foul air, feeling a little more relaxed.
The elevator reached the bottom floor very quickly, Yao Ye looked at his watch, it was almost noon, he had to go home quickly, he had to go to work in the afternoon.
Not long after getting out of the elevator, Yao Ye saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the building, pointing at somewhere outside the door.
Yao Ye approached, took a closer look, and couldn't help showing a strange expression, which was a mixture of fear and astonishment.
He thought that the man in the leather coat would wait for the next elevator, but he never expected... He would come down so quickly.
The man in the leather jacket jumped from the thirteenth floor and died on the spot.
rustling—
The snakeskin pocket next to the man's body in the leather jacket was also loosened, and a bloody woman's arm protruded from it, causing screams from the surrounding area.
Yao Ye couldn't stand this bloody scene, he looked away, and left the department store with the shopping bag in his hand.
This kind of thing is very troublesome. As an ordinary office worker, it is better for him not to get too close. There are already a lot of troublesome things, and it will really be annoying to death again.
Thinking of this, Yao Ye was still in shock. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned and walked away.
The ghost behind him smiled and looked at the long-haired female ghost at the body of the man in leather.
The blood-covered female ghost grinned from the corners of her mouth to her ears, still sucking the brains of her enemy obsessively.
Dead~ ah~ what a pity~ I didn't do it~ what a pity~
Ghosting hummed a dark nursery rhyme with a smile, and hugged his lover in his arms obsessively.
It’s okay, all those who bullied my dear will disappear~ So, don’t be afraid~
Ghosting felt that everything she did today was perfect, and my dear would be very satisfied.
So, it lightly licked his lover's white neck, smiled and muttered to himself: You're welcome, my dear, you're welcome between us hehe~
Yao Ye, who knew nothing about what happened to his neck, shrank his neck inexplicably, feeling a little cold on his neck.
Looking at the dimming sky above his head, Yao Ye felt that this is really a changeable weather, and he planned to add more clothes today.
Otherwise, if you catch a cold, you will have to spend an extra sum of money, which is too wasteful.
beep beep beep—
The siren of the police car echoed around the building, causing panic.
However, none of these had much to do with Yao Ye. He took the subway home and was about to go home.
However, after returning home, looking at the half-closed door, Yao Ye, who held the only key, stopped in his tracks.
The door opened...someone broke into the house
