The two walked around the campus for about half an hour, and when it was almost time to eat, Guo Jia and Shen Ruolan walked out of the east gate of the school side by side and came to the agreed hotel.

"Brother Jia, what do you like to eat?" Shen Ruolan stood in front of the freezer next to the cash register, staring intently at the dishes in the freezer.

Guo Jia stepped forward and said indifferently: "I can eat anything, you can order it!" ”

After ordering, the two walked to the No. 3 table by the window on the left hand side of the door and sat down, while waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Guo Jia glanced at the situation in the restaurant, and said in a calm tone: "It's summer vacation, and there are a lot fewer students who come to the restaurant to eat." ”

"While most of the students are going home for the holidays, there are still a few who choose to stay in school, and I am one of them."

Guo Jia looked at Shen Ruolan and asked a little puzzled: "Why do you want to stay in school, do you mean that your home is far away from the school?" ”

Shen Ruolan shook her head lightly and said softly: "I am a native of Qingchen, and my home is in Wolong District, Qingchen City, less than ten kilometers away from the school. ”

"If it's so close, why don't you go home?"

Shen Ruolan sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Mom and Dad are away on business all year round, and they are rarely at home all year round, even if I go back, I will be alone to watch the house, how boring it is!" Staying in school, at least you can chat with other friends. ”

Guo Jia took a sip of the tea on the dining table and asked curiously, "What do Ruolan's parents do, and how often do they go home?" ”

Shen Ruolan put her slender jade finger to her lips, and after thinking for a few minutes, she spoke: "My father and my mother are archaeologists from the Qingchen City Institute of Archaeology, and half a year ago, they were invited by the archaeological team of the University of Cassinia in the United States of America to go to a small uninhabited island in the South Pacific Ocean for scientific investigation, and they have not yet returned. But they message me every day so I don't have to worry. ”

"Archaeologist......" Guo Jia said in fragments.

After waiting for the dishes to be served, Shen Ruolan beckoned Guo Jia to hurry up and move the chopsticks, Guo Jia glanced at the dishes on the table, looked at the delicious dishes, and couldn't help swallowing.

During the meal, Shen Ruolan picked up the mobile phone on the table from time to time to take a look, Guo Jia drank a bowl of chicken soup, and asked with a puzzled face, "Is there any good news?" ”

Shen Ruolan curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a row of white and flawless teeth, and said softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, Brother Jia, I'm going to work in Shuangling Group next Monday." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Do you have a part-time job in the summer?" College students should really go to some part-time jobs to gain work experience. ”

"What Brother Jia said is very true, otherwise it would be too boring to stay in the dormitory for such a long summer vacation."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she suddenly picked up her mobile phone, clicked on the album, and found a photo with a blurry picture.

"Brother Jia, look at this picture."

Guo Jia took the phone and carefully looked at the photos on the phone screen, although the clarity was not high, Guo Jia still got very amazing information from the photos.

"It appears to be a person swept away by an object that resembles tentacles. Ruolan, where was this photo taken and when was it taken? Guo Jia asked with some emotion.

Shen Ruolan glanced around, deliberately lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "Late at night three days ago, in Area A of the underground parking lot of the Shuangling Group Headquarters Building, a security guard on duty was suddenly attacked by some unknown object, and another security guard who was accompanying him hid behind a medium-sized truck and took a photo of the moment of the attack with his mobile phone. ”

Guo Jia frowned, his eyes fixed on the photo, he remembered the monster Ketulu he encountered in the cave of the Green Snake Ridge in Broken Dragon Village.

"Assuming that the monster attacking the security guard is Ketulu, it means that somewhere in the early morning market, there is a stronghold of some evil warlock raising monsters. It seems that the early morning market is not very peaceful! Guo Jia muttered in a solemn voice.

Shen Ruolan looked at Guo Jia curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jia, what is Ketulu?" ”

Guo Jia came back to his senses and replied with a blue face: "You heard it wrong, I didn't say anything about Ketulu!" ”

Seeing that Guo Jia's attitude became a little wrong, Shen Ruolan had no choice but to sigh secretly and did not continue to ask.

"Brother Jia, let me tell you, this photo is very popular on the Internet, and netizens are discussing that another supernatural incident has happened in Shuangling Group."

Guo Jia took a sip of tea to calm down his emotions, and when he heard Shen Ruolan's words, he couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that this company has had many supernatural incidents before this?" ”

Shen Ruolan saw that this topic aroused Guo Jia's interest, she seemed to open the conversation box, and said endlessly: "Shuangling Group is a powerful real estate company, and it is also the only one of the top 100 enterprises in our province. The chairman of the company is named Ling Zhengyi, who is relatively low-key and rarely appears in public. However, his daughter Ling Chuixue often appears in major media reports, and not long ago she was on a hot search on Weibo because of a quarrel with her boyfriend. ”

"Ling Chuixue, Senior Brother Zhou's ex-girlfriend......" Guo Jia thought to himself.

Shen Ruolan paused for a few seconds and continued: "What I just said is not the point, Brother Jia, you can just listen to it." There are many, many versions of the supernatural rumors about the Shuangling Group on the Internet, and I will only mention a few events that have a wide impact.

The first is on August 15 last year, a white-collar worker worked overtime in the office at night, she left the office at about 23 o'clock, took the nearest elevator to the underground parking lot, and the strange thing is that when she entered the elevator not long after, the surveillance camera installed inside the elevator inexplicably blacked out, and the white-collar worker disappeared into the elevator. It wasn't until a week later that the police found the white-collar worker's bones in a sewer near the Shuangling Group's headquarters building. ”

Guo Jia nodded, and couldn't help but interject and ask, "When you found the corpse, there was only a skeleton left?" ”

Shen Ruolan replied noncommittally: "That's right, perhaps to avoid causing panic, the police finally closed the case with 'accidental death', and claimed that the evidence of his murder was insufficient. ”

"Well, go on, what other supernatural events are more famous?"

At the urging of Guo Jia, Shen Ruolan went on to talk about two supernatural events that happened not long ago, and the incident of the attack on the security guard was only less than a month apart.

"The cleaner fell to his death in broad daylight, and the employee of the marketing department hanged himself......"

Guo Jia pondered these two supernatural events, and the deeper he thought about it, the stronger the fear in his heart became.

"Ruolan, since there are so many supernatural events in the Shuangling Group, why do you still want to work there?" Guo Jia pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to say the question he wanted to ask the most.

Shen Ruolan propped her chin on the table with one hand, looked at Guo Jia with a torch, and said in a slightly naughty tone: "Aren't I curious, Brother Jia doesn't know, I've been very interested in these strange things since I was a child." I'm a staunch idealist! ”

Guo Jia pursed his lips, and his tone became a little serious: "But have you ever thought about what unknown dangers you will encounter when working in that kind of place?" ”

Shen Ruolan nodded obediently and said, "I also know that so many strange things have happened there, but I, I'm just curious!" ”

“......”

Hearing Shen Ruolan's answer, Guo Jia was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say to alleviate the current embarrassing atmosphere.

After a while, Guo Jia spoke again: "If I don't let you go to work in Shuangling Group, will you do as I say?" ”

Shen Ruolan turned her head to look out the window, then moved her gaze back, and replied with a serious face: "Brother Jia, thank you for your kindness!" But I still want to go to Shuangling Group, on the one hand, to find out the truth of the supernatural incident, and on the other hand, because the salary of Shuangling Group is very good, I don't want to miss such a good summer job! ”

Guo Jia saw that Shen Ruolan had made up her mind, so she no longer persuaded her, but just told her: "After you go to work in the company, remember to report to me on WeChat every day, no matter how small things are, you can't let them go." ”

"I see, Brother Jia!" Shen Ruolan put the phone back in her handbag and said softly.

After lunch, the two left the hotel, and on the way back to school, Guo Jia asked, "When are you going to work?" ”

"The text message sent by the company said that the day after tomorrow, that is, at 8 a.m. next Monday, I will report to the seventh conference room of the headquarters building of Shuangling Group."

"Just go and report for duty? No need to go through an interview or other procedures? Guo Jia looked at Shen Ruolan with a surprised expression.

"That's what SMS says!"

Shen Ruolan saw that Guo Jia didn't believe it, so she hurriedly called up the text message in the mobile phone mailbox to show him.

After Guo Jia read the text message, his brows couldn't help frowning: "I'm afraid this is a trap!" ”

Sending Shen Ruolan back to the dormitory, Guo Jia hurriedly left the campus, took the subway to the bus station, and took the nearest bus back to the Tianshi Mansion.

The moment he just stepped into the door, Guo Jia bumped into Zheng Zilong, as if he heard something from Zhou Kui, Zheng Zilong glanced at Guo Jia with a complicated expression, and then hurriedly turned around and left.

"If this kid has anything to say, just say it, why do you look at me like that?" Guo Jia muttered quietly.

When he was about to walk to his living room, Qingyang Daoist suddenly walked over from the other side of the road, Guo Jia saw that Master's expression was not quite right, and hurriedly asked, "Master, is there anything urgent?" ”

Qingyang Daoist nodded, he approached Guo Jia, and said in a low voice: "You and Zhou Kui are ready to go to the headquarters building of Shuangling Group in Shenglong Industrial Park this afternoon. ”

Guo Jia pretended to be surprised and asked, "What are you doing there?" ”

"Ling Zhengyi, the chairman of Shuangling Group, asked the head of the sect to send someone to investigate the supernatural incident that happened in their company, the situation seems to be very urgent, and it is said that something bad may happen in the next few days."

After listening to Master's words, and then contacting the rumors that Shen Ruolan told in the hotel, Guo Jia was even more convinced: There must be some unknown secrets in the headquarters building of Shuangling Group!
