Volume 3 The Place of Confinement Chapter 31 The Newspaper Changes
There were already six or seven people sitting on the sofa in the newspaper hall at this time, including Yan Yan, who returned in the first half of the night, who was smoking a cigarette and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Not long ago, He Xiao suddenly appeared on the floor of the hall out of thin air covered in injuries, and at this moment, the automatic repair function of the newspaper office is urgently treating him at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the horrific wound on his neck has stopped bleeding, and it will be completely recovered in less than two minutes.
At this time, a white light suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, making everyone on the sofa wait and see, Yan Yan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and there was some faint expectation in his heart.
Soon, the white light disappeared, and the figures of Xu Lang and Zhang Qingyu suddenly appeared next to He Xiao, who fell to the ground.
Unlike He Xiao's embarrassed return, Xu Lang and Zhang Qingyu basically didn't have any big wounds on their bodies, just a few small wounds that were scratched by evil spirits, Xu Lang also held Zhang Qingyu's hand tightly, just returned from an urgent task, and for a while both of them forgot that their hands were still holding together.
The expressions of the people on the sofa were different, and the voices of discussion were repeated, and Cheng Guoguo, a little fat man with a strong desire to express himself, spoke first: "Yan Yan also told us before that the chance of a few of them returning is less than one tenth, but looking at their posture, it seems that they have not experienced much danger at all." β
A middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette, but his temples were full of white hair that did not belong to this age, and he said hoarsely: "The mid-level mission, it is really a miracle that it can return so calmly in the case of a complete dead end." β
The newcomer who had just entered before, Lin Qing, one of the Lin family's siblings, said with a glint in his eyes: "Brother Mo Ye is right, Captain He Xiao is really powerful, this time he must be able to turn the tide, after all, he is a powerful veteran who has executed five times." Although she hasn't experienced many tasks yet, she has become familiar with most of the newspaper employees with her cheerful personality in the past few days after joining the newspaper.
Yan Yan looked ahead and ignored everyone's discussions, and walked straight in front of Xu Lang: "You will really survive, but what I didn't expect is that you can bring everyone back in this situation, congratulations." β
Hearing this, all the employees were stunned, and what Yan Yan meant was that this newcomer Xu Lang wanted to be born in the end, and rescued Captain He and Zhang Qingyu? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Indeed, Xu Lang's previous ghost building mission was carried out alone, and this marriage proposal mission was only his second mission, and a newcomer wanted to lead all the staff back to his birth, which was simply fantastical, beyond common sense, and it was normal for employees to believe it.
On the side, He Xiao, who had already repaired his wounds, also came over and expressed his gratitude with a smile: "That's right, this time thanks to Brother Xu who came up with a way to survive at the last moment, otherwise all of us would have died in this mission." β
Everyone's eyes looked at Xu Lang's calm face, he didn't speak, but glanced at Yan Yan instead. Zhang Qingyu on the side suddenly realized that the two were still holding hands, and withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
Xu Lang leaned close to Yan Yan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Fully form an alliance and work together without affecting life and death?" β
When Yan Yan heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded, and then turned around and went upstairs.
Yan Yan had this intention for a long time, he personally felt that his actions and thinking were too amazing and bold, while Xu Lang had a cautious and thoughtful personality, and the two of them had extremely high IQ and adaptability, and only by combining strong forces could they really wander in the terrifying tasks of each other.
Xu Lang said this because Yan Yan always had to find clues and take action before himself in this mission, whether it was experience, qualifications and the ability to assign teams, he still admired Yan Yan very much.
After all, the biggest enemy at the moment is the evil spirit.
He Xiao played a round and said to all the employees: "Let's go here today, go back and rest first, and talk about what you have tomorrow." Then he glanced back at Xu Lang gratefully.
Of course, Xu Lang chose to ignore this, He Xiaocheng's mansion is very deep, and all the emotions shown cannot be taken seriously, otherwise he will die in the pit and have no place to bury.
turned around and prepared to go upstairs to rest, and then glanced back at Zhang Qingyu, who had always followed him, and had some subtle feelings in his heart, but his emotions were much calmer than when he was in the task.
Leaving the catalytic ability of the evil spirit seed, he really didn't have much affection for Zhang Qingyu.
Although Zhang Qingyu on the side no longer did not care about Xu Lang as in the mission, he kept thinking about Xu Lang's previous marriage proposal to himself, his face turned even redder, and he followed Xu Lang upstairs without saying a word.
Lin Qing, who was in the last row, glanced at the departing Xu Lang with her clear eyes without leaving a trace, and looked down and thought to herself: "I didn't expect this young man with a mysterious temperament to be so powerful, it seems that I have one more choice." β
Just as the dawn was approaching, the newspaper office, which was originally lively at midnight, returned to a rare tranquility and relaxation.
Xu Lang, who was tense, finally had time to rest, and he slept until 9 o'clock in the morning, but suddenly the whole bed began to shake, Xu Lang sat up from the bed as soon as he turned over, and he was now used to staying vigilant in his sleep.
I got up and observed, and it wasn't the bed board moving, but the whole room moving slowly!
Could it be an earthquake? Newspapers will also be earthquakes?
Xu Lang hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the door, and found that all the employees had already walked out of the room and stood outside the door at this time, and some people shouted: "It's really a shame, and it's not good to make up for sleep." β
He Xiao rubbed his eyes, obviously he didn't wake up, the whole newspaper office was shaking, and he took the lead in threatening: "Let's go to the hall on the first floor to have a look, don't go back to the room." β
A group of people muttered downstairs, Xu Lang took a closer look, there were 13 people in the newspaper at this time, and many unfamiliar faces who had never seen them had been awakened and walked out.
During the period, there was a small group headed by a man, which attracted his attention, with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, and a scar on the left half of his face, which increased some recognition, which should have been with everyone, but his temperament was very prominent, Xu Lang noticed that his eyes were sharp, and he was full of deep and mysterious feelings.
This man is Wu Cheng, and there are only three people left in the small group due to the death of the green hair. Perhaps perceiving Xu Lang's gaze, Wu Cheng returned a subtle smile, which only touched the hideous scar on the left side of his face, which looked ill-intentioned.
Xu Lang didn't pay attention to it, at this moment Zhang Qingyu also went downstairs wearing a nightdress with a plaid pattern, looking young and lively, with a very temperament. Xu Lang nodded to her slightly to say hello, Zhang Qingyu smiled and stood quietly behind Xu Lang.
Yan Yan came to Xu Lang's side with a cigarette in his mouth, chatted and said, "Did you sleep well?" β
"Okay, what about you?"
"Hehe, I didn't sleep well, and my dreams were full of long-haired women trying to tear me apart."
"You're in luck this time."
"Yes, I didn't expect that I Yan Yan would also live by luck one day." Yan Yan's tone was a little lonely, the huge mistake of this mission to speculate on the way of life hit his confidence a little, Yan Yan has always survived five missions in one go, but he didn't expect to almost capsize this time.
This is also one of the reasons why Yan Yan agreed to cooperate with Xu Lang, the task has become more treacherous and difficult to fathom, and then consider the gains and losses and mutual calculations, it can only be sent to death.
The tremors of the newspaper office lasted for about twenty minutes, until the interior began to stabilize, and He Xiao walked out of the hall, and then shouted to the employees excitedly: "Come and see, come and see!" β
Everyone was a little puzzled, it didn't seem to be an earthquake, and how could there be physical turmoil in such a strange place as a newspaper office, a completely supernatural building.
The unknown crowd walked out of the door, looked up at the newspaper office, and suddenly their eyes were round, and their faces were full of incredulity.
Cheng Guoguo covered his mouth exaggeratedly: "This... Has the newspaper expanded? β
Xu Lang was also quite surprised to see the changes in the newspaper, the original dilapidated appearance of the two-story small building, at this time completely renovated, the decoration and faΓ§ade are all new, looking like a regular publishing house.
The most unbelievable thing is that the newspaper office has an extra floor, and the current "Strange Newspaper Office" has become a three-story small building!
Yan Yan said to everyone: "Quickly check internally, what structures have changed!" β
The thirteen employees of the newspaper were divided into three batches, and a comprehensive investigation of the inside of the newspaper began, and several employees led by Xu Lang and Zhang Qingyu began to walk around on the first floor.
Entering the door again, the area of the hall has expanded a lot, and on the huge wall facing east, there is a huge display screen, and there are two more rows of sofas, a total of four rows of sofas facing west, facing the display screen, looking like a small movie theater.
Originally, there was only one hall on the first floor, but at this time, there was a large room of about 70 square meters at the turn of the stairs, with a large conference table and many chairs around, which was obviously a large conference room.
Xu Lang and the others looked at the conference room, looking at each other one by one, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
At this time, the employees on the second and third floors have also completed the investigation, and they are jaw-dropping to see the earth-shaking changes on the first floor.
He Xiao touched the thick wooden door and motioned for everyone to enter the conference room.
After everyone was seated, everyone looked at the first seat in the conference room, and for a moment they didn't know who was sitting in that position.
He Xiao first asked Yan Yan to sit, but Yan Yan said, "No, you are the captain, you should sit." Then he sat on the right-hand side of the first seat, and pulled Xu Lang to sit next to him.
Zhang Qingyu also sat beside Xu Lang very naturally. As for Nameless, the Lin family sisters and brothers and the like sat on the very side.
He Xiao was in a stalemate for a while, laughed dryly, and then sat down on the first seat and began to preside over the meeting.
"Since we have all the conference rooms, then we won't go to the sofa to discuss matters in the future, so I'll sit in the first place for the time being, but everyone is free to speak, I'm just a moderator."
Everyone nodded, in fact, they didn't have any interest in sitting in the first place, but they were so excited that they didn't understand what the sudden change in the newspaper meant.
Cheng Guoguo said first: "The newspaper office was suddenly renovated, and I saw that there were 15 more rooms on the third floor, which was the same as the layout of the second floor where we usually lived. β
Hu Zhen, who was beside Wu Cheng, looked left and right, and said the conjecture in his heart: "The extra room may be that the newspaper is going to expand its scale, after all, we have more than a dozen people now, and if we encounter a difficult task, we will be wiped out, and it is better to add more people to complete the task." β
Zhang Qingyu whispered to Hu Zhen, who spoke, Xu Lang nodded, in fact, he didn't say anything about the extra floors, and he didn't say anything about what Hu Zhen said.
When Yan Yan heard this, he said coldly: "15 more rooms may not be a good thing. β
Everyone looked at him suspiciously, wouldn't more employees be able to introduce talents for the newspaper, and it would also be helpful for the future implementation of tasks, and they were puzzled and waited for Yan Yan's next words.
Seeing that everyone else was annotating himself, he suddenly laughed and said softly: "If you think about it in a different way, will such a strange and sudden change be an increase in the probability of a group annihilation in the future mission, so the newspaper is forced to replenish our number in this form in order not to kill us." β
"So, every mission in the future will be twice as difficult!"
