Chapter 1 Overtime in the text
"Life will eventually be dull."
Cheng Long doesn't remember who said this, maybe it's a philosopher, maybe it's the second uncle next door. Whatever!
Cheng Long does not make a comment on the correctness of this sentence, but he does have some different understandings.
Cheng Long put down the gun in his hand, sighed between his hands to ease the stiffness of his hands, and said in a slightly helpless tone, "I think that only when you have experienced the waves and everything has calmed down can it be called flat." For those who have not experienced the storm, blandness is a kind of torment. ”
Saying that, Cheng Long picked up the gun and killed a soldier who rushed over with one shot. Then he gently lowered the gun, and turned his gaze to the face of the man who was kneeling at his feet, raising himself.
"I still vaguely remember the beginning, the broken factory, the dimly lit office, the notebook, I was dull at that time, but it hasn't been dull...
。。。
Inside the small office of the factory. Dim and secluded. Only the crackling of fingers tapping on the keyboard sounded in an orderly manner, and it was so lonely and strange in the middle of the night.
This is a notebook marked with the logo of "Altron Technology", and sitting in front of the notebook is a young man of twenty-four or five, who is seriously cursing and cursing the boss, while scratching his head to verify the paper accounts and enter them into the computer, meticulously. Cheng Long is not actually an accountant, just an ordinary programmer. He generally calls himself a man-made drawing dog. So why is he here today to reconcile the accounts?
In fact, this is a dilapidated factory acquired by Cheng Long's company, but after taking over, he found that there were some problems in the accounts. So he planned to send someone to take over and clean up the accounts. Due to the tight schedule, it is necessary to work overtime.
But generally speaking, this question should be a matter of accounting. But today, it is up to Cheng Long, a programmer, to deal with it, and there is actually a certain reason.
The reason is not complicated, it is very simple, he is the only one in the entire company who is willing to come to this ghost place to work overtime.
Today's overtime is not paid.
Today's overtime is not going to do any good for promotion.
Today's overtime is to put it bluntly, it is for nothing!
Then why did he come to such a remote place and refused to return home?
Do you think Cheng Long is willing to come, Cheng Long is not stupid, he works overtime until midnight and doesn't pay him, do you come in lieu of you? Anyway, I'm not going, but Cheng Long is coming.
Why? It's not forced yet.
He also asked the leader for leave, but his boss was very "unlucky" and "didn't hear" his opinion. He also ordered Cheng Long to upload all the sorted accounts to his mailbox as soon as possible, no matter how many points he does. To put it bluntly, it's a sentence, if you don't finish it, you are not allowed to go home. Otherwise, the fine, I heard that it was not a deduction of wages, it was a fine, not to mention when this month's salary would be paid, and the fine would be paid in cash to the Ministry of Personnel.
Strange company, 23 regulations, Cheng Long is also very helpless, pressing three months' salary, Cheng Long is really reluctant!
So when the time strikes, at one o'clock in the morning. Cheng Long, the overtime dog, finally helped his glasses, stretched his waist, and stood up in his seat. "What a day for a dog! ”
Cheng Long is about 1.75 meters, has a relatively slender body, and his long hair is a little unkempt, but he is not sloppy and belongs to the legendary hairstyle "can't wake up".
Of course I can't wake up, it's all like this, I'm still working overtime, how can I wake up! Moreover, it is so far from the city. Do you really want to go home with Xiao Huang?
Cheng Long scratched his head, and finally rode an 8.3-kilometer bicycle home without brain cramps, and he downloaded an app on his mobile phone to plan to go home with a luxury.
Simply set the location and wait for the car to pick up and deliver. This kind of experience of being served home has not been done before, but it is still quite luxurious for Cheng Long, who has a monthly salary. So Cheng Long had a good understanding of what it was like to be an uncle, and couldn't help but retract the chair like Ge You was lying down, and Erlang's legs were cocked and waited comfortably. Looks like a grandfather.
Within two minutes, Cheng Long's mobile phone rang. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly answered. "Hey hello, who are you?"
On the other end of the phone, there was a coarse and slightly indistinct Northeast choke. "I'll go, buddy, you... Is that... What kind of place, you run in the wilderness... What did you do? ”
Cheng Long hurriedly replied habitually with a hint of apology, "Oh, I have some work here, maybe a little off, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Hemp. It's not a problem, but buddy, you can't be a drug dealer if you work in that kind of place! On the other end of the phone, the voice came, a little slurred, as if there was a short-circuit in thinking.
"How is this possible, I just went to a remote factory to check the accounts. Big brother, don't say it so scary. Cheng Long hurriedly explained, for fear that there would be a little misunderstanding, the eldest brother of the driver, who finally took the order, withdrew the order because he was afraid. Although you can complain at that time, you may have to spend the night here.
"Well,,It's okay, my brother has also been in the rivers and lakes. Lake people. Understand... Understand the rules of the Tao, people. If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. Uh..."The big brother on the other end of the phone said babblingly, and he hiccuped when he was about to go.
Cheng Long, who had been listening carefully for a long time, finally heard the doorway. "Big brother, have you drunk?"
"Hehe, I drank a little, but it's okay Brother is an old driver, nothing else, just one word, steady." The driver's eldest brother said very confidently.
After hearing this, Cheng Long could only smile helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, I listened to the driver's eldest brother explain. "Brother, haven't you heard a word? It is called half a catty and eight taels are stable. Today, my brother happened to drink eight taels of old white gan'er, which was stable and stable. ”
At this moment, a mechanically synthesized female electronic voice came from the phone. "Speed limit 80, you have severely overspeeded"
"Big brother, drunk driving is a violation," Cheng Long kindly reminded.
"What rules are you violating, as long as you don't say it, how will the company know that I have been drinking? Besides, I'm not drunk, you see I'm very sober, the camera that just passed is an illegal camera to take pictures, you must wear a seat belt, you can't make a phone call, I know everything. ”
Cheng Long looked at the mobile phone that was talking, and smiled helplessly, hoping that the driver's brother was using Bluetooth.
Before Cheng Long could say anything, the driver's eldest brother on the opposite side suddenly became anxious. "Huh? I said brother, you don't mean to complain about me, do you? I can tell you, don't do anything stupid, I know where you are, that broken factory used to kill people, and I heard that it was haunted. No one dares to go, but if you dare to complain about me, you can wait and spend the night there. ”
After Cheng Long heard this, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, looking at the chaotic and dark factory outside the office, the empty and quiet atmosphere, not only was there a cold war behind it, but suddenly he felt that the whole factory was gloomy. I thought to myself that I wouldn't be so unlucky.
I didn't pay much attention to it because I was working hard just now. Now that he has his spare time, this empty factory has finally attracted Cheng Long's attention. The entire office is located in the center of the factory and belongs to a lounge area. A small space made of color steel plates and wooden boards like a color steel plate house.
The owner here must be a man of a skinning nature, and his windows are wide open, and he can control almost the entire factory. Maybe to see more clearly, there is even no glass, just a few big holes.
The factory is home to many old lathes and presses. As well as some copper, iron rods, angle irons and other leftovers scattered on the ground. When Cheng Long arrived here at five o'clock, the sky was still bright, but there were no lights in the factory, and it was already very dark. I almost tripped over the scraps.
If it is already dark today, I can only faintly rely on the moonlight spilled in outside and the dim lights of the office, and see some strange silhouettes projected in all corners, which looks extremely weird and terrifying. This made Cheng Long's already uneasy psychology even more fearful.
"Big brother, you'd better hurry up." Cheng Long's eyes were observing the surrounding environment while urging the driver in the mobile phone.
"Don't worry, brother, I was known back then... In the middle of speaking, suddenly a ghost screamed. "Ouch, I'll go, you kid dare to overtake my car, where did the bear kid get out, have you forgotten the fear of being dominated by Xihuan Thirteen Lang back then." As he spoke, he heard the sound of the engine whistling from the other side of the phone.
Immediately afterwards, the driver's eldest brother said excitedly. "Little brother, you hang up the phone first, brother, I'm going to start concentrating on driving."
When the call hangs up. The only voice in the factory also fell. At this time, the factory is exceptionally quiet, except for the sound of midsummer crickets from time to time.
In loneliness and darkness, people will always unconsciously fantasize. And these inexplicable fantasies are the source of fear.
Cheng Long felt that the atmosphere of the entire factory began to slowly become weird. He even had the illusion that he was safe in the light. And in that deep darkness, there are unknowns and dangers. There may be a lot of horror hidden there. Something you don't know.
Cheng Long quickly shook his head, knowing that he had fallen into a hypnosis-like fear. He needed to do something else to get his attention.
Fortunately, I brought a wireless network card, so I quickly opened the notebook and clicked on a network video casually.
"Why are there mysterious shadows in the video, and why are there many beasts screaming at night? Why citizens have repeatedly claimed to have seen monsters. Whether it is the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality, please pay attention to this issue of People's Observation.
Recently, Mr. Liu of H City said,His own surveillance captured some strange pictures,Let's take a look,We see that there is a piece of optical distortion in the monitoring is moving,The shape is somewhat similar to a human shape, but slightly taller than a human being,From the perspective of proportion, there are about three meters.。。。。 ”
Although the TV show says something evil. But such an opening remarks Cheng Long simply grew up hearing from childhood. So this didn't attract Cheng Long's attention, but made him feel that he was always itching behind his back, as if something was peeking at him with bad intentions.
Cheng Long turned his head frequently, but he couldn't find anything. Finally, he came up with a solution. He moved his body and seat to his office, in the corner between the two windows. Keep your back to two walls and hold your laptop in both hands so you feel a little safe.
Cheng Long thought about it again, turned off the video in the computer, and it was in his hidden hard disk f. took out a small movie that he had collected for many years.
I thought that in such a tense moment, there might be only such a thing that could completely attract my attention.
And so, the classic music sounded. The familiar voice and familiar Japanese are the memories that accompanied him through his youth.
Just when Cheng Long was about to enter the state, "Dang Chang~" A crisp metal collision sound came into Cheng Long's ears, like someone walking and kicking the messy scraps on the ground.
The voice was not loud, but in Cheng Long's ears, it overshadowed the passionate music, and it was already like thunder in his heart.
Cheng Long stood up suddenly, wanted to go out but hesitated, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and put the notebook that was still playing in his hand on the desk. shouted, "Is it you, big brother driver?" ”
There was no response to the silence outside, Cheng Long scratched his head again and hesitated, and finally decided to go out and have a look. Because he thought to himself, what if the driver's eldest brother drank too much, tripped himself up, and fell unconscious in the factory?
But as soon as he walked out of the office, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness behind him.
