In room 203 of the newspaper, He Xiaozheng was sitting on the leather sofa drinking wine.
His room is extremely luxurious, the walls are full of various luxury goods, and the overall decoration is European style, which looks magnificent.
He Xiao was a security captain before entering the newspaper office, but his salary was low. Since entering the newspaper office, he was extremely extravagant to eat, drink, live, and travel. It is sad enough to enter the newspaper office. If you don't enjoy the enjoyment anymore, you will be unable to get along with yourself.
With a simple appearance and looking like an enthusiastic old man, he was elected as the captain, but the really smart person is one that makes people unable to see his intelligence. No one knows how much this person who always smiles, how scheming and the city are. deep.
At this moment, he was holding the phone, his ten fingers were constantly rubbing in front of the screen, looking at a number, he seemed very hesitant. Not long after, I drank all the wine in my glass and dialed the number.
The originally gloomy face changed into a flattering expression at the moment the call was connected: "Sir, it's me, I will report to you if I have a situation, hehe."
There was a hoarse male voice on the other end of the phone, with a brief and impatience, "Said."
"The newspaper has just entered a weird newcomer named Xu Lang. Not only did he directly appear inside the newspaper without taking part in the novice mission, but he also received the mission on the day he joined the agency, and it is rare for me to participate alone. This...I only do this. I heard it on you... Look?"
"Oh? This person named Xu Lang seems a little special. If you call this, it means he survived."
"Yes, yes, even though he was a little embarrassed, he still survived. According to my observations, this person has a strong heart and strong reasoning ability, but I can't figure out his fiction. I don't know whether he will become an obstacle to us. You see Is it to be removed or?"
"A new person doesn't get in the way. If you continue to observe and report the situation to me, it will still be useful for them to do your job of comforting employees. Recently I have to perform tasks, so you can do it yourself."
"Huh? Well... Then I won't disturb you."
When the phone was hung up, He Xiao's expression sank, and he slammed the phone to the floor, smashing it to pieces. He was able to spend five missions completely relying on this person's off-field help, but this time he obviously abandoned himself, and next time it will be the sixth mission, to spend it on his own, with little hope.
"Hey, I hope I can execute it with Yan Yan next time, maybe I can survive it."
Twelve hours have passed since he returned to the newspaper. Xu Lang slept soundly. He Xiao's knock on the door did not wake him up.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Lang woke up faintly. He immediately grabbed a cigarette from the bedside and began to puff out the smoke in the room. The cigarette was not lit during the mission last night. It was finally renewed after a lapse of twelve hours.
Cigarettes are Xu Lang’s only way to decompress. The burden on him is much heavier than ordinary people, but after experiencing a task, Xu Lang discovered that the task is actually a way to decompress. If you step twice from the edge of death, you will Knowing that being able to wake up at night is already a great fortune.
I have to say that Xu Lang's mentality is really strong, and when another person hears it, he may feel that he is insane.
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Lang hurried to take a shower. He almost lay down in the room last night and fell asleep. He didn't have time to clean up the mess.
After taking a shower, Xu Lang looked at the long hair in the mirror, then conjured a pair of scissors at random, and cut the hair abruptly.
It's enough to experience this kind of thing once by the evil spirits grabbing your hair.
After taking care of him and changing into a clean sportswear, Xu Lang personally came to the door of He Xiao's room, and "dangdangdang" knocked on the door.
He Xiao was eating at this time. He heard the knock on the door and hurried to the door. He didn't put down the rice bowl in his hand. He didn't know whether he was acting deliberately or he really forgot. He smiled even more when he saw Xu Lang. Brother, you slept a lot this time, hahaha."
"Excuse me, Captain He, I don't know if you are eating, then I will come back later."
"Hey hey, don't have to be so troublesome, have you eaten yet, let's go together."
As soon as he said that, he took Xu Lang's arm up, please enter the house, and looked at the huge room in front of him. Xu Lang was a little surprised, why it looks like everyone’s room is about the same size, but He Xiao’s room is big. Several times by yourself.
Seeing Xu Lang's face with doubts, He Xiao turned into a pair of chopsticks and said: "Sit down first. You must have a lot of questions. Let's have some food together.
Xu Lang originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't help smelling the fragrance after he hadn't eaten almost all day and night. He picked up the bowl on the table and ate.
Picking up the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Lang didn't regard himself as an outsider. The meal was nothing but wind and clouds. The muscles on He Xiao's face were a little twitching. Originally, he made a lot of dishes, four dishes and one soup, but he hadn't yet. How to move the chopsticks, Xu Lang has already eaten more than half of it.
He Xiao coughed slightly and looked at Xu Lang strangely. Xu Lang felt a little embarrassed but his face was as usual. He had already filled his stomach for seven or eight points, so he asked slowly: "Captain He, I still have many questions about the newspaper. I hope you don’t hesitate to enlighten me."
Seeing the mess on the table, He Xiao didn't want to eat anymore, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, and talked freely:
"We are a group of unfortunate people. For example, I was on the night shift at the time. When I was patrolling the building, I suddenly encountered an evil spirit, got involved in a supernatural event, and survived by chance. This is the so-called novice mission.
Just after entering the newspaper office, a senior person told me that I had to perform ten missions before I could leave. I was so scared that I stayed in the room for three days and three nights and did not dare to go out. During this period, all the veterans who received me were destroyed in the next mission. Although I did not see the content of the mission, I guess it was a difficult task, otherwise it would not kill all the veterans.
I was the only one left in the newspaper office until Yan Yan came to the newspaper office. "
Xu Lang was also a little surprised. Could it be that difficult-level tasks are unsolvable, and so many seniors can't survive.
He Xiao shook his head and signaled not to be nervous, "The difficulty level is still too far away from us, let's say it is now. The rules of the newspaper are actually nothing.
You also know that everything you want can be changed in the room and the injury can be repaired. In addition, the internal structure of the room can also be as desired, but it looks the same on the outside. "
"In addition, fighting is forbidden in the newspaper, let alone murder, and this is a forbidden place for evil spirits. Whether it is a person or an evil spirit, as long as you are in the newspaper, there will never be a threat."
Speaking of this, He Xiao glanced at Xu Lang, thought about it, and said quietly, "Of course, some grievances can also be resolved in the task."
Xu Lang's eyes dazzled, he pushed his glasses, and stared at He Xiao pointedly, "Oh? The evil spirit is like a sword hanging above his head. Will anyone do such stupid things in this situation?"
"Hehe, some people have grievances, and this is true everywhere." He Xiao changed into a can of beer and said casually.
Xu Lang nodded and agreed.
"Also, the interval between tasks is generally from half a month to a month, but you are only allowed to leave the newspaper office for 48 hours a week. When you come back, you can stop a car and say you go to the "scheming agency" and you will be dragged. At the door, if you don’t return in time, you will be obliterated. Remember. I still suggest you take care of your parents’ matters first and quit your original job. Anyway, living now is the only business.”
When He Xiao said the last sentence, he was a little cautious and asked about Xu Lang's background.
Of course Xu Lang realized it and replied naturally: "I understand, I am an orphan and I don't have a job, so it saves trouble."
He Xiao glanced at Xu Lang and couldn't ask anything for a while, so he got up and took out a piece of copy paper from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Lang.
"This is the current living information of the newspaper. Everyone corresponds to the room number. You can keep it. It will be easier to find someone at that time."
Xu Lang took the copy paper and glanced at it roughly. At present, 15 rooms count as 12 people living in him, but 208 of the rooms actually occupied four people. This made Xu Lang a little puzzled, but he didn't ask He Xiao how. Going on.
He didn't ask about the mission at Villa 13 18 years ago. Xu Lang didn't think anyone could survive in the newspaper for 18 years, and He Xiao would never know. Seeing that the question is almost complete, I am ready to leave.
He Xiao smiled and said, "If you are free when you go back, you can send me a copy of the report on this mission, or you can give other employees a reference."
Xu Lang also said that there was no problem. He turned around and left. When he reached the gate, He Xiao said mysteriously behind him, "Speak carefully."
When Xu Lang turned his head, he found that He Xiao smiled harmlessly and waved to himself.
Secretly wrote down these words, opened the door and left.
Without hesitating too much, Xu Lang turned around and went to the next room No. 204, knocking on the door.
Almost as soon as he knocked down here, the door opened, and the tall and straight figure stood at the door.
Xu Lang didn't feel surprised. Yan Yan and He Xiao were so close. Yan Yan must have known the movement of He Xiao's place just now.
The two looked at each other, Yan Yan turned and walked into the house, Xu Lang closed the door and followed in.
Yan Yan's room and He Xiao are two extremes. He Xiao is luxurious. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yan Yan's room is a family disciple. The whole room is not big, there should be everything but it doesn't feel crowded at all. The furnishings in the house It makes the most of the space, which is very close to Yan Yan's own personality.
After opening the door for Xu Lang, Yan Yan went straight to the table and sat down. Xu Lang observed for a moment and sat on the opposite side. Yan Yan looked at Xu Lang without saying a word. Xu Lang did not intend to speak. Look at each other directly.
Yan Yanduan sat on the chair, meticulously, with aggressive eyes in his sharp eyes, and patrolled Xu Lang unscrupulously. Xu Lang seemed a lot more casual, with his arms leaning across the back of the chair, lighting a cigarette, and Throw one to Yan Yan casually.
Yan Yan didn't expect Xu Lang to do this. He picked up the cigarette, asked Xu Lang to borrow a fire, and smiled: "Interesting, I still like you quite a bit."
"Really, I thought you can't smoke."
"I really won't, but if you give it, I can try to smoke."
Xu Lang smoked a cigarette. Some didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't open his mouth. When he didn't understand a person's purpose, don't open his mouth, or he would fall into passivity.
Silence fell between the two again, only a ring of smoke rose from the middle, filling the room.
After smoking a cigarette, Yan Yan suddenly said: "Join my team, otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive."
Xu Lang said calmly, "Give me another reason, but it's not enough to live."
Yan Yan threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it hard, and then put his face in front of Xu Lang, stared at the eyes under the other's lens, and said every word: "Because we are the same kind of people."
Xu Lang pushed his glasses, sighed and said, "Unfortunately we are not the same kind of people, even if we smoke the same kind of cigarette. I won't join you, but I can work with you."
Yan Yan retreated to the chair, and after a long time slowly said, "Yes."
Xu Lang left. He didn't join Yanyan's team, nor did he ask who they were in the team, because he knew that the few people in Yanyan's team had lived a long time, and once the use value was drained, they would be lost by Yanyan. Whether there is use value is a strict code of conduct. From the furnishings of the room to the way of behavior, it is not difficult to see that this is a cold-blooded person.
Choosing to cooperate with him, to put it bluntly, is to use each other.
Xu Lang walked on the corridor and pushed his glasses, hiding the coldness and indifference in his eyes. In fact, the stern words are right, they are just one kind of people. (End of this chapter)
