Matryoshka Off-Limits

Chapter 37: Big factory

Views:

One word can perfectly describe Wen Shi’s current state: paper tiger.

[One Sword to Flatten the Silence] has a very cool effect, but this ultimate move costs 5,000 points and can only be used once. No matter what, you still have to pretend it.

Wen Shi used the tip of the Qingmu sword in his hand to lift the Harajuku manager's chin, and then raised his slender eyebrows: "Clean up the corridor, understand? Otherwise..."

The sharp sword slid down from the throat and stopped at the waist. Wen Shi bent down slightly, blew gently and murmured like a devil: "You know what I will do to you."

Harajuku Guan's body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that the cold sword would pierce his skin in the next second.

[Warning, Jian Qingrong's favorability towards you is 5. ]

"… "

Wen Shi paused slightly with his sword-holding hand and glanced sideways. Although it was only a flash, he was sure that he saw a fleeting excitement in Jian Qingrong's eyes. The other party even couldn't help licking his lips. Jian Qingrong's eyes were always firmly fixed on the sword, and the moment he stretched out his tongue, it seemed that he was licking the sword in Wen Shi's hand more like it was in his hand.

This person definitely has some psychological problems.

Wen Shi retracted his gaze and finally told the Harajuku manager: "Don't forget to clean the dormitory as well."

There was a monster's corpse lying on the window of Room 401. All the debris on the table had fallen to the ground. The foul-smelling liquid from the monster's mouth seeped into the gaps between the tiles bit by bit.

It was so dirty that Wen Shi was too lazy to clean it.

Then he put away his sword, held the electric baton he had just obtained very vigilantly, and walked towards the stairs.

The system requires the dormitory manager to ensure the safety of the residents, so Wen Shi had to patrol this floor to ensure that safety hazards were eliminated.

"I'll go with you." Jian Qingrong followed and said, half-seriously, "If you get into danger, I can take care of you."

For now, Wen Shi only saw that Jian Qingrong had psychological problems. There was no normal person in the copy, so he would not look at the other person differently because of this.

What really concerned him was the reminder sound. Perhaps because it involved a factory with human relationships, it was much easier to gain favor with NPCs in this dungeon than in the castle dungeon. But Wen Shi really couldn't understand why there was a warning. Not long ago, when the factory manager's favorability towards him increased, there was no such reminder.

There was a lot of noise below. After all the monsters that dared to run to the third floor or above came up at once, no one else followed.

Wen Shi walked upstairs carefully and saw several corpses of monsters lying at the corner between the fourth and fifth floors. The iron door of the fifth floor was closed, and nothing could be seen in the dark corridor. It just felt like a dark and endless abyss.

How many monsters did the dormitory manager on the fifth floor kill through the iron door? Damn, it turns out that the one on the fourth floor is too worthless.

Wen Shi dragged the monster's corpse back to the duty room, ready to study the cause of death.

The light was not bright enough, so Wen Shi turned on the flashlight. Jian Qingrong offered to hold it for him. Wen Shi took a look and gave him the phone.

With the help of the flashlight, everything became much clearer. Wen Shi tore off the monster's clothes with his bare hands. The whole action was done in one go, accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth. The blood on the clothes splashed on his hands, forming a strong contrast between the extreme dark red and the fine white.

[Warning, Jian Qingrong's favorability towards you is 1. ]

[Warning, Jian Qingrong's favorability towards you is 1. ]

The two consecutive prompt sounds seemed to correspond to two things. Wen Shi's eyebrows jumped. This favorability was not something that could be increased.

He seemed to have accidentally touched the other person's excitement switch.

The fatal wound was on the chest. Wen Shi compared it and found that the wound on the heart was almost as big as an electric baton. The electric batons issued by large factories could be up to one meter long. It was impossible for a normal human to violently penetrate the sternum through the iron door.

The dormitory manager on the fifth floor is indeed quite capable.

"The weakness is in the heart." Wen Shi wrote it down.

Jian Qingrong suddenly asked: "Do you like research?"

In fact, the original words of this sentence are, you also like to study, but the pronunciation of the word "also" is too light and can almost be ignored.

Wen Shi lifted his eyelids and said calmly, "It's just so-so."

"Huh?" He suddenly leaned close to the monster's ear and found a number behind its ear: 189.

Obviously, this was a number specially engraved. He went to the corridor and picked up a few heads. He looked at them one by one. Some heads had numbers, some did not. This scene of checking heads was like the devil coming to the world to the Harajuku manager and the residents who were still peeking through the cat's eye.

Jian Qingrong: "Maybe the sanatorium did this for the convenience of management. Many patients are sent there every month."

Wen Shi stood up and shook his head: "It's the experiment number."

This kind of special mark is only made on experimental subjects.

Monsters have never actively attacked normal people before, but if someone deliberately conducted some research experiments or attack training, it can be explained. There are five numbered corpses in the corridor on the fourth floor. Wen Shi went upstairs again and found that the monsters lying between the fourth and fifth floors were all numbered. These numbered monsters were less decayed than other monsters, and their teeth were longer and sharper.

Wen Shi recalled the scene of the previous monster attack and barely remembered a few faces. The ones standing in the front were numbered monsters. This night attack was probably led by these numbered monsters.

But who is commanding these numbered monsters

Wen Shi had a feeling that the world was becoming increasingly unsafe. Once...

"Once monsters start indiscriminately attacking normal people, is there still hope for this world?" Jian Qingrong lowered his head and looked at the wreckage on the ground, as if he was worried about the future, but also as if not.

Wen Shi thought for a moment and said, "In fact, if I can stay in the alienated state, provided I can keep my sanity, then there is still hope."

Monsters do not eat mutants, and they seem to be treated as companions in this range. If it weren't for the fact that the mutants would launch indiscriminate attacks driven by hunger, it would be the perfect situation.

Jian Qingrong was slightly stunned.

[Warning, Jian Qingrong's favorability towards you is 1. ]

"You're very smart," he said.

"I just said that casually." Wen Shi shrugged: "You can never give up hope."

He is a person who believes that there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain.

The Harajuku manager swept people's heads with a dustpan, then washed the mop and started mopping the floor.

Wen Shi looked disgusted: "Too perverted."

The Harajuku manager who was mopping the floor froze in his tracks, angry but not daring to say anything.

Who is the pervert? Don’t you know

There were no windows in the corridor. Wen Shi was about to go back to the dormitory to take a look at the situation outside. Just as he was about to enter the door, he slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about my uncle."

The prompt said that there was a resident of Room 401 hiding in the trash can. If it wasn't Jian Qingrong, it could only be his father.

Wen Shi opened the trash can and saw the corpse inside shaking like a sieve. The moment he saw Wen Shi, the old ghost immediately clamped his legs together.

“…” There’s barely a skeleton left, what are you afraid of

The old ghost was really afraid of Wen Shi, and he deeply believed that the other party could do even more perverted things.

Wen Shi asked Jian Qingrong to bring Bai Gu into the dormitory first, called the former dormitory manager, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that his father passed away?"

The Harajuku manager hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Does anyone else know?" When Jian Qingrong asked the factory director to move out, he cited his father's disability as an excuse.

The Harajuku manager shook his head.

Wen Shi was surprised: "He lives in the dormitory guarding a corpse, don't you think it's strange?"

"The pollution index is getting worse day by day." The Harajuku manager smiled bitterly: "Everyone will be affected to some extent. Jian Qingrong's behavior is very normal."

When he said it was normal, Harajuku Guan kept staring at Wen Shi.

Speaking of perversion, who is as perverted as the one in front of me

Wen Shi read too much from his eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched. He was too lazy to explain and turned to go into the house.

The dormitory was almost completely cleaned by the dormitory manager. Wen Shi stood by the window. There were no street lights outside the dormitory building. He could only see the puddles on the ground by the bright moonlight tonight. It didn't rain today, and these were all blood. Suddenly, a very dark light appeared downstairs. The light was moving quickly with its owner. There were no street lights outside the dormitory building, and the shape of the light was a bit like an icicle.

It's the players who are using props for self-defense.

It was too dark at night, and Wen Shi could not tell who it was, so he frowned. Supervisor Zhao had emphasized the unsafeness of the night, and if it were him, he would rather fight to his death than run away. The old player was experienced, and it was even less likely that he would make such a low-level mistake.

"Go to hell!" the player started yelling.

Wen Shi did not feel that there was any monster chasing him. He suspected that the purity of his mind had decreased too much and he was experiencing hallucinations.

The higher up the dormitory building you go, the more dangerous it is for the residents. But no matter what, living on a high floor is relatively safe. At least the black-hearted supervisor Zhao is living like a fish in water.

We must find a way to climb up.

After expressing his feelings, Wen Shi picked up his bedding and prepared to stay in the duty room tonight.

The environment in the duty room was not bad and could accommodate a small bed. The former dormitory manager looked at the man who had occupied the room through the window with resentment. He was angry but dared not say anything. The corridor was too dirty and he had to clean the mop again.

When the Harajuku manager went to the bathroom with a mop covered in blood, Jian Qingrong came over with a bag of tools.

Wen Shi opened the small window of the duty room: "What are you doing?"

"Repair the door." Jian Qingrong seemed to be proficient in every technique.

The iron door can still be of some use at critical moments. Wen Shi did not stop it and sat back down. Thinking of the bloodbath downstairs, he shook his head and said, "Dad, please don't die too early."

Jian Qingrong's ears were extremely sensitive: "Is your father also in the dormitory?"

"No, it's the sponsor, the one who gives me the money."

Jian Qingrong frowned: "How can you call someone like that casually?"

Wen Shi was happy, knocked on the glass, and said nonchalantly: "When you become rich and are willing to invest in my original stock, I can also call you dad."

Jian Qingrong's whole body tensed up and he buried his head even lower.

From Wen Shi's perspective, he shrank his neck like a quail. He had just experienced a bloody battle, so he couldn't help but release some evil spirits. He stuck his messy head out of the window and shouted clearly: "Dad, Dad."

Jian Qingrong fled in panic.

In the back, Wen Shi laughed in a very unkind way.

Third floor.

This is a disaster area crowded with monsters, the door is broken, and there is no decent safe house at all.

Player Zhou Xiaochun hid behind Ji Yuanzhi. He was the first to discover the monster wave. He immediately chose to spend money to buy his life, found Ji Yuanzhi, and spent points to seek his protection.

"This is a damn A copy." Zhou Xiaochun almost experienced the zombie siege, and he wanted to cry but had no tears: "It's not an exaggeration to say that this difficulty is S."

The door of Ji Yuanzhi's dormitory was a rare clean spot, and the monsters ignored it. In their eyes, it seemed like an empty house that did not exist.

The door was just wide open.

The monster was wandering in the corridor, and now it finally showed signs of retreating.

Zhou Xiaochun, who had saved his life, breathed a sigh of relief. The money he spent tonight was worth it! And Ji Yuanzhi didn't ask for too much from him.

Zhou Xiaochun's eyes were filled with tears: "Dad, I want to kowtow to you."

Among so many players, Ji Yuanzhi chose to save Zhou Xiaochun naturally because he saw that his skills were worth investing in. Although the opponent was extremely weak in terms of martial arts, anyone with a little ability, even Tu Bianxi, would not refuse Zhou Xiaochun's surrender.

[Divination]

The skills Zhou Xiaochun possesses can be of great use at critical moments.

"Don't shout," Ji Yuanzhi pulled out a chair and sat down, holding up the frame of his glasses, and said, "My son is upstairs."

More than 10,000 points, that's something that costs a lot of money.

"… "

The terrible night finally passed with the arrival of daylight.

I don’t know what the arrangements are on other floors, but there is no hot water in the dormitories on the fourth floor. If you want to take a shower, you can only go to the water room, where there is a separate small cubicle.

At around six o'clock, Wen Shi took a shower and changed into the work clothes he was given yesterday. The work clothes were made uniformly and were relatively loose, and Wen Shi felt that the wind could blow in through the collar and cuffs. When he was sorting out his clothes, he found that in addition to the intern badge, there was an additional work badge in his pocket. The blood stains on it were the same as his white coat, and he couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard he tried.

[Night Supervisor: Aaron

Jurisdiction area: 4th floor of Dachang dormitory building]

Not only that, after [Flowers Scattered by Heavenly Man], the attribute panel now has the battle record of [Cut Princess].

"C-Cut-hime?"

Wen Shi's speech was a little clumsy.

"Don't panic, don't panic. This is known only to heaven, earth and me. No one else knows about it," he comforted himself. "Besides, the theme of this world is to purify the soul. If I say this is to purify the body, doesn't this fit the theme?"

After taking a deep breath for a few minutes, Wen Shi's eyes were fierce—

Dog game, I will kill you sooner or later to silence you!

The fragrant smell of soy milk wafted over, interrupting his monologue.

Wen Shi looked up and saw the skinny guy standing outside the duty room with a flattering smile: "I'm Zhao Ze, the resident of 406."

"I remember you, the one who splashed the beauty liquid on Jian Qingrong yesterday."

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding." Zhao Ze put the soy milk and pancakes on the windowsill: "I'm going to do morning exercises, and I bought you breakfast by the way."

Wen Shi took it without hesitation and handed the phone over: "Please enter the phone numbers and names of all the residents on this floor."

Zhao Ze did as he was told, and soon a long list of names appeared in Wen Shi’s address book. He waved his hand to signal Zhao Ze that he could leave.

The dormitory manager's rights mentioned that the residents on the fourth floor would obey his orders and would not poison them.

Wen Shi was only the night shift dormitory manager and had to continue working. He took his breakfast and ate it while going downstairs. As for the former dormitory manager, his daytime work was not taken away by Wen Shi, so he returned to the duty room that originally belonged to him with a bitter face.

The stairs were slippery and sticky, as if it had rained blood last night. There was a torn-off arm at the corner, and it was unclear whether it belonged to a player or a monster. The cleaners in protective clothing came early and were cleaning the corridor. When Wen Shi reached the third floor, Ji Yuanzhi just came out, followed by Zhou Xiaochun, who was in a panic.

Zhou Xiaochun's eyes widened: "You're still alive?" Seeing the food in his hand, he quickly said: "Sure enough, the higher up you go, the better. Breakfast is also provided."

Wen Shi raised his glass to Ji Yuanzhi and said, "Good morning."

Ji Yuanzhi didn't seem surprised that he was still alive, and smiled, "Good morning."

When Wen Shi approached, the two men frowned at the same time.

After staying in the horror book for a long time, it is normal to be suspicious. Wen Shi turned around almost instantly, thinking that there was a monster behind him, but there was nothing. He asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaochun spoke first: "Nothing, I just don't know why, when I saw you I felt a strong sense of crisis."

Ji Yuanzhi nodded, indicating that he had the same feeling.

Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, attributing it to the oppressive feeling brought by his identity as dormitory manager.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaochun suddenly muttered, "Don't leave me."

"Um?"

Zhou Xiaochun pulled his clothes down and used the loose work clothes to cover his crotch.

"..." Wen Shi read a kind of vigilance similar to that of an old ghost from his movements. After a moment, he seemed to react to something, opened the attribute panel, and focused on the battle record column.

Because of the generated name before, he chose to ignore it and just glanced at it quickly every time. But now he took a closer look and suddenly found that he could click on it further.

[Heavenly Man Scattering Flowers: You have selflessly helped the mutant pomegranate flowers to pollinate, and have exceeded the task. With this title, you will be endowed with the glory of maternal love, and monsters such as ghost children and infant spirits will have the urge to call you mom when they see you.]

[Cut-off Princess: Also known as Cut-off Chicken, you once cut off all the monster chickens in one night. Any male creature who sees you will feel their body tense and have a strong sense of crisis. This sense of crisis will not last more than three seconds, after all, you can cut off their * in three seconds.]

“… Be careful!” Zhou Xiaochun yelled, and Ji Yuanzhi quickly grabbed Wen Shi who was about to fall down the stairs.

Wen Shi, who was momentarily distracted, held the railing tightly and said, "Thank you."

Zhou Xiaochun: "Are you okay?"

Wen Shi shook his head, then shook his head again: "It's okay."

What could possibly happen to him? When a little ghost saw him, he would want to call her mom. When a female ghost saw him, she would feel infinite disgust. When a male ghost saw him, he would probably only feel cold hatred and fear. It covered all levels. He had nothing to lose.
