The light coming in from the window was already very dim, with a warm dim yellow color, and it wouldn't be long before the first night in the venue would officially come.
The headlights hanging on the top of the steel frame in the factory did not seem to have any signs of turning on. The weak light was very unfavorable for the battle, but it was a good environment for sleeping.
As soon as Cui Zuojing closed his eyes, he heard another deafening golden sound from below. Even the steel frame was shaking slightly. He frowned and opened his eyes unhappily.
The reason why he chose to recuperate here is entirely because the belts make much less noise than other machines, but now, that's no good at all.
The three people below had already started fighting, and the young man who was being "hunted" seemed to be no match for the other man and woman, and had been using the factory's terrain to circle with them.
Forget it, just to see how strong these people are, and just to be a staff officer for Dong Zheng.
Cui Zuojing is in the perfect position above, and he can see it all at once. He is like watching a movie. He even calls the dodging young man A, the man who is chasing him is B, and the other woman becomes C. It's done. Numbering.
B seems to be able to control gravity, and has been manipulating the parts on the belt to smash towards A, making a long-range attack. Cui Zuojing heard the thud that the nut slammed heavily on the machine casing, while C was holding two short swords , chasing after A. She and B cooperated very skillfully. They were clearly chasing each other tightly, but none of the parts that came crashing down hurt her. They all flew past her body, biting A's footsteps like a tracking bullet.
Did the two teammates happen to be assigned to the same field
A was dodging in embarrassment, a little awkward on the left and right on the right, but he was not hit for a while. Several attacks just happened to wipe his body, leaving only a blood line on the skin, which made people marvel at the sky-defying luck. .
Cui Zuojing looked at the three people who were circled around a dozen belts, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
something.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon, even the last ray of light disappeared outside. Except for the indicator lights on the machines and the signs of safety exits on the walls, there was no other light source in the entire factory.
And at this very moment-
A dagger pierced the woman's left chest from the back, A grabbed the back collar of her clothes, and pulled the woman forward as a human shield, blocking the attack from a large number of parts from B!
"Xiaowen!" B's jaw was about to split, and he roared in shock. The parts smashed heavily on C's body, instantly smashing her head into blood. The woman was pierced through the heart, and it was difficult to make any sound. She stared in disbelief, blood gushing from her mouth, and after a few seconds, with the release of A's hand, her body fell heavily.
No one could see how A moved from in front of C to behind her in a blink of an eye, except Cui Zuojing.
This ability is interesting.
Take the initiative to reduce his presence, so that the attacker loses his target for a short time. For those two people, the sudden disappearance of the young man may be attributed to them being distracted, but this half-second "walking" is enough. killed them in battle.
A gasped heavily, he wiped the blood from the parts on his face, stared at the man, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys did it first, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You killed her." B slapped the belt with one hand, and hundreds of parts floated in the air. The tips of the screws all pointed to the youth, "You killed her!"
"Don't you want to kill me too!" A roared, he didn't want to kill, but it didn't mean that when others wanted to do something to him, he would be slaughtered.
The parts suddenly flew towards the young man. He rolled on the spot and hid behind the machine in embarrassment. The nails smashed into the small holes in the recesses of the metal casing. There was no doubt that if the young man could not escape, he would definitely be stabbed in an instant. into a sieve.
At this moment, there was a bang with the sound of the switch being pulled, and the lights of the workshop suddenly turned on.
Cui Zuojing squinted his eyes subconsciously after being stabbed, and his peripheral vision keenly caught a glimpse of a group of humanoid creatures wearing blue overalls and obeying the gate. They were as tall as normal humans, wearing tall rubber boots and rubber gloves. Cover up all body parts from the neck down.
And on their necks, are completely blank ellipsoids, with no faces, no hair, no chins, and nothing.
These sudden intruders stopped both of them for a while, watching them vigilantly.
Cui Zuojing got up quickly, kneeling on one knee on the steel frame, holding the vertical pole in his hand, staring closely at the strange "people", his brows furrowed.
The belt, which had been running continuously, gradually stopped, and even the rumbling noise from the hot die forging press and the hammer processing machine in the next workshop disappeared. It seemed that the entire factory had stopped running.
There was an eerie silence in the factory.
The heads of the overalls were facing the two people near the belt, and they approached silently and quickly. They were holding hammers and wrenches in their hands, and the shiny silver surface was stained with old black and red blood.
"Damn, what are these things?!" The man couldn't help scolding, his final voice raised very high, obviously the blank heads gave him a great shock.
The young man took two steps back, and the two looked at each other, tacitly stopped fighting each other in the face of unknown danger, and turned around to avoid the overalls.
The overalls immediately chased the two of them.
The figures of the two jumped out of the iron gate connecting the other factory and disappeared from Cui Zuojing's field of vision. The four uniforms who did not follow up walked to the woman's still warm body, and the two dragged her separately. They dragged their feet away, and the other two took out the floor brush and bucket from nowhere, swept away the blood on the ground and machinery, and then returned the parts all over the floor to their original places.
Fifteen minutes later, what was left from the fight just now had almost disappeared, only a few potholes on the metal casing, silently telling that everything was not an illusion.
After cleaning up the workshop, the overalls left.
Silence returned to the factory building, and only Cui Zuojing was left.
Cui Zuojing leaned back on the steel frame again. He didn't go down to investigate the situation. Who knows if those overalls will suddenly appear again
The endless space, the humanoid entities that come at night, the regular alternation of day and night... All of this reminds him of a very famous item in SCP.
SCP-3008 - Very ordinary standard old IKEA, also known as "Endless IKEA".
To put it simply, 3008 is a space that looks similar to the interior of an IKEA furniture store, and extends far beyond the physical limit that IKEA furniture can accommodate. The boundary of IKEA cannot be detected in any direction. It is speculated that the space may be infinite.
There are some humanoids in Endless IKEA. They wear the uniforms of IKEA staff. When IKEA turns off the lights, they will violently attack the people inside, and keep repeating "The store is closed, please leave the building", and the lights are turned on again to restore After the "day", the "employees" return to a relatively harmless normal state.
Because it is difficult to find an exit, the humans who have strayed into 3008 have almost no chance to leave it. They have established bases and defense structures in IKEA to jointly resist the violent employees when the night comes.
Cui Zuojing is almost certain that the basic setting of this venue is extended from 3008. The factory will operate normally during the day. Participants can find secret letters or fight with others. At night, when the window is dark and the lights are turned on, the factory Stop production, and "maintenance workers" come in to clean up the trails left by daytime pilgrims and hunt down those who haven't been able to hide in time.
This is also to increase the difficulty for the pilgrims. How can it be easy to get something so precious as a circus ticket
Thinking of this, Cui Zuojing closed his eyes again.
Today is the first night, and there must be a lot of people who are busy searching or fighting being hunted down by the workers, and his attitude of watching from the side just happened to save himself a little trouble.
Then by tomorrow night, everyone will hide out wisely.
If so, he has a plan.
The lighting was strong enough that the boy couldn't fall asleep again for a while. He silently perfected his plan when he suddenly heard the sound of someone running in.
The middle-aged man hurriedly ran into the factory building. Blood was constantly bleeding from his left leg, leaving a bright red mark on the floor. He was breathing heavily and staggering. Obviously, due to his injury and physical strength, he was about to run out. .
The three overalls chased behind him and moved quickly.
The man's eyes were full of horror, and he looked back at them. In a panic, he accidentally stepped on a nut that had not been cleaned before.
He fell to the ground.
Workwear followed.
The man screamed in horror, and the wrench hit him on the head in the next instant.
The screaming stopped abruptly.
Cui Zuojing closed his eyes and did not see the bloody scene at that moment. The smell of blood gradually spread in the air. The overalls dragged the man's body and walked towards the iron gate. The lights cast long shadows on the ground. .
No one knew where these humanoids emerged and where they would take their corpses.
If only I could get this person's ID card.
Cui Zuojing thought, and suddenly noticed.
He took the screw out of his pocket, held it in his hand, and tossed it across the building.
Ding-
The screw hit the belt conveyor, making a crisp metallic sound, and the overalls immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
There was another sound, and the overalls "looked at each other", put down the man's corpse with a sunken skull, and approached the sound.
When they were far enough away, Cui Zuojing jumped directly from the steel frame.
He didn't take any protective measures, so he jumped directly from the ten-meter-high roof. Cui Zuojing found the position very accurately, and after rolling on the spot to dissipate the momentum, he directly half-knelt beside the corpse.
The muffled sound of the landing startled the work clothes, and they turned their heads suddenly. At this time, Cui Zuojing had already reached into the man's pocket, and took out two ID cards and a "secret letter" from it.
The successful teenager held the card between his fingers and smiled proudly at the work clothes who turned around.
He put the card in his pocket, and the middle finger of his right hand popped out the screw that had been in the palm of his hand—
With a pop, the nail sank into the forehead of the frontmost humanoid creature, leaving a bloody hole.
The movement of the overalls stopped for a while, but the rushing figure could not stop.
You will be injured, you will die, you can fight.
After confirming this, Cui Zuojing did not attack the remaining two overalls and ran to the nail ladder that he had set up earlier. The two creatures seemed to be frightened by Cui Zuojing's behavior, and they squatted beside their dead companions. , did not go after him.
When Cui Zuojing climbed onto the steel frame again, the two work clothes were dragging the dead companion and the man's body one by one, and left silently and slowly.
Cui Zuojing's fingertips were still stained with the blood on the man's body during the body search. He wiped the blood off the wall and looked at the two ID cards he touched.
